Yinzhen still had feelings for Nian Shilan, so he had not entered the harem during this period. Without the Queen's persuasion, even the daughters of meritorious officials were not allowed to enter the palace. However, the Queen Mother did invite the girls of the Uya and Ulanara clans to the palace many times, saying that they were there to talk to her, but who knew what she was actually thinking.

Because of this, Yinzhen has not entered Shoukang Palace for a long time.

However, Yinzhen was still very good at pretending. Although he did not go in, he would pay his respects outside the gate of Shoukang Palace from time to time, and then without waiting for the reaction of the people inside, he would sit on the imperial sedan chair and leave.

Seeing that she could do nothing about her son, the Queen Mother became so angry that she fell ill.

However, after this incident, the empress dowager thought it over and no longer summoned the younger generations from her natal family to enter the palace. However, she still ordered the family to give birth to a girl as soon as possible. If they gave birth now, the Sixth Prince would be of the right age to get married.

It can be said that the Queen Mother is a very good dreamer.

It was not until after New Year's Eve that Yinzhen entered the harem again.

The first place he came to was Wen Yuan’s Chuxiu Palace.

At that time, Hongyun was two and a half years old, and Hongxuan and Hongnuan were over one year old.

In the entire harem, Wen Yuan's place is the most lively because there are so many children.

Wen Yuan has three children, plus Shuhe. If the four children were not too young, Chuxiu Palace would hardly be able to accommodate them all.

Yinzhen had been in a bad mood recently, but when he faced his children, his bad mood disappeared immediately and he had a great time playing with the children in the yard.

When Wen Yuan felt that the time was about right, she called out to the children, "You have played long enough, come back quickly, or your mother will give you bitter medicine to drink."

The children lined up obediently. From oldest to youngest, Shuhe stood at the front, followed by Hongyun, Hongxuan and Hongnuan.

"Mother Yue, Shuhe doesn't want to drink the bitter medicine!" Shuhe said with a pout.

"No, Hongyun doesn't want to drink." Hongyun's little head shook like a rattle.

Hongxuan and Hongnuan could not speak clearly, but they knew that the bitter medicine soup was not good, so they shook their heads together.

Yinzhen immediately burst into laughter and patted their heads. "No, it's the Emperor's decision. You won't be allowed to drink! Go back to the house and warm yourself up by the fire. Then you won't get sick."

The little ones were so happy that they jumped back into the house and gathered around the fire.

Wen Yuan deliberately placed a distance between them and covered the stove with a cover so that they could keep warm without getting burned. She was afraid that someone might accidentally touch the stove and get burned.

In fact, Shuhe is almost seven years old and has reached the age to move to the princess' residence. However, now that the queen is not interfering, no one will mention it unless Wen Yuan, the head of the palace, mentions it.

Wen Yuan specially invited Concubine Xin to come along, and the three adults and four children gathered together to have a home-cooked meal.

After dinner, Concubine Xin tactfully took Shuhe away with her.

The three little ones played for a while, and then were taken away by their wet nurses to wash and sleep.

Wen Yuan and Yinzhen had not been close for many days, so it was natural for them to have sex.

Afterwards, Wen Yuan leaned in Yinzhen's arms, and when she was about to fall asleep, Yinzhen suddenly spoke.

"I have recently been planning to confer titles on my harem. Does Wen Yuan have any ideas?"

Wen Yuan's eyes opened suddenly.

He comes, he comes, he comes with his temptations!

Wen Yuan knew that this day would come sooner or later!

In the past, when there was no queen, Yinzhen promoted her and Nian Shilan to imperial concubines to balance the harem. Now that Nian Shilan is gone, Yinzhen doesn't want her to dominate alone, so he must promote the people in the harem to check and balance her.

Fortunately, she was well prepared and was not afraid at all.

"Since I entered the palace, the emperor has never conferred titles on the harem. Now, in the harem, there is only one noble concubine, and there is only one sister, Concubine Qi, who is a concubine. There are Concubine Jing, Concubine Wan, Concubine Tian, ​​and Concubine Yu from the Rehe Palace. Below the concubine, there are Concubine Xin, Concubine Yu, Concubine Borjigit, and Concubine Shen. Below them, there is only one concubine, An.

In my humble opinion, Concubine Qi has the highest seniority in the harem and gave birth to the third prince for the emperor. The third prince is now so old and will soon be old enough to marry and have children. Concubine Qi deserves the title of imperial concubine. The fifth prince of Concubine Yu will also be choosing a wife in two years. Although Concubine Yu is far away in the Rehe Palace, the emperor should not skip her when he appoints concubines to the harem.

Sister Jingpin, Sister Xin and Sister Yu are old ladies who have served the emperor since the Qiandi Palace. They have not been promoted for many years. The emperor should also think about them. Concubine Borjigit is from Khorchin. This time, the emperor can promote her to the position of concubine and give her another title to let Khorchin know the emperor's courtesy to them. Concubine Wan, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Shen and An Da Ying entered the palace with me. Concubine Wan and Concubine Tian were promoted less than half a year ago. Whether they will be promoted together with the other concubines this time depends entirely on the emperor's mind. Concubine Shen and An Da Ying can also move their positions. "

Yinzhen listened to her quietly, and after a while he asked her, "Wenyuan asked for positions for every concubine in the harem, but didn't she ask for one for herself?"

Wen Yuan rubbed Yinzhen's shoulder affectionately, "I have the emperor's favor, as well as Hongyun, Hongxuan and Hongnuan. I don't need anything else."

I don’t know whether Yinzhen was moved or really believed it.

Anyway, he issued an imperial decree the next day, appointing Wen Yuan as Imperial Noble Consort and taking charge of the affairs of the six palaces. From then on, all the concubines had to come to Chuxiu Palace to pay their respects to Wen Yuan.

He also promoted other people according to Wen Yuan's suggestion and even made arrangements for the palace.

Concubine Qi was promoted to Concubine Qi and lived in Changchun Palace

Jingpin was promoted to Jingfei and lived in Xianfu Palace

Yupin was promoted to Yufei and lived in Jingyang Palace (moved back from Rehe Palace when spring came)

Xin Guiren was promoted to Xinpin and moved to Yongshou Palace

Concubine Yu was promoted to Concubine Yu and still lived in Qixiang Palace, moving from the side hall to the main hall.

Borjigit noble lady Jin Hepin was already living in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, so there was no need for her to move.

Concubine Shen was promoted to Concubine Hui and moved to Yonghe Palace

An promised Jin Changzai that she would still live in the Yanx Palace, but she moved from the smallest room in the back hall to the spacious left side hall in the front.

In this grand harem promotion ceremony, only Concubine Wan and Concubine Tian were not promoted. For this reason, Concubine Tian often gave a hard time to An Lingrong, who lived in the same palace with her.

Zhen Huan was also feeling sorry for herself in the Sui Yuxuan.

"Silang is still angry with me. And there's also Guaerjia. She and I entered the palace in the same year, and we were both titled concubines. Now she's actually the Imperial Noble Consort, with three princes, while I'm still just a concubine, and I haven't even had any news of pregnancy..."

"Now the master and Guaerjia have the same official position, so Guaerjia will only give birth to a few children. If it weren't for this time... her favor would never be comparable to that of the queen."

Huanbi would never have dared to say this before, because she had always bullied the weak and only dared to bully An Lingrong, who was from a humble family. In the past, E Min's official position was higher than Zhen Yuandao, so she didn't dare to say anything about Wen Yuan. Until this time when Nian Gengyao was pacified, Zhen Yuandao was also promoted to Zuodu Yushi (one Manchu and one Han), Huanbi felt that she, the daughter of the Zhen family, could now be on an equal footing with Wen Yuan, so she said such harsh words.

Huanbi's words were what Zhen Huan really thought, so she would not stop Huanbi from speaking. She would only remind her after she finished speaking, "Walls have ears. She is now the Imperial Concubine. Don't say such things again."

Huanbi responded reluctantly.
