Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Chapter 48 The Emperor ascends the throne, and the two queens find their own homes

After the late emperor's funeral was completed according to the specifications, the next most important thing was the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

In 1735, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty passed away and his fourth son Hongli succeeded to the throne.

It was just because Hongli's adoptive mother, the former Concubine Xi, Zhen Huan, was not the emperor's legal wife, so according to the rules, she should live in Shoukang Palace with all the concubines of the emperor.

But Hongli claimed to be a filial son, so how could he let his adoptive mother squeeze into the same palace with a group of concubines? In the end, it was Zhang Tingyu of the previous dynasty who took the initiative to propose a compromise to the emperor.

According to the rules, the Empress of Jingren Palace was honored as the Empress Dowager Mother and lived in Cining Palace; as for Concubine Xi of Yongshou Palace, she was honored as the Empress Dowager Mother and the Emperor later built a palace for her, named Xining Palace. All other concubines were moved to Shoukang Palace.

Qingying obtained the position of queen in this life without any effort. When she was taken directly to Changchun Palace by the emperor, Qingying looked at the scene in the room that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and felt a little sad.

"Empress, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already arranged accommodations and titles for the ladies in each palace. Please take a look. If there is anything wrong, please correct it and we can change it in time."

"The concubine Fucha was given the title of Xianfei and was granted the residence in Yanxi Palace. The princess Gao was given the title of Guifei and was granted the residence in Xianfu Palace. The princess Keliyete was given the title of Haiyingying and was granted the residence in a side hall of Xianfu Palace. The princess Su was given the title of Chunpin and was granted the residence in Zhongcui Palace. The princess Chen was given the title of Wanyingying..."

Qingying took a quick glance at the title and palace above and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, Eunuch Qin is thoughtful. Let's make arrangements according to what is written in this edict."

In her previous life, her status in the harem was not prominent enough, so the eunuchs in the palace who bullied the weak and feared the strong sometimes dared to bully her. But now that she is the queen, even Qin Li, who advocated withholding her fabrics in her previous life, bows and scrapes to her in this life.

This was also the first time that Qingying truly felt the benefits that power brought her.

Because Yongqi was still young and the emperor favored Qingying, he was not sent to Xiefang Palace, and was allowed to be raised by Qingying in the future. Although people from the previous dynasty had some complaints, they were finally refuted by Gao and Ulanara.

……

Because the emperor allocated enough money and labor, the Xining Palace, which was as luxurious as the Cining Palace, was built in just one month.

On the second day after Zhen Huan moved into Xining Palace, Qingying carried Yongqi to visit Zhen Huan in Xining Palace.

-

"Your son greets you, mother. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."

Although Yongqi still cannot speak clearly now, he always likes to imitate adults and speak behind their backs.

"Yongji pays his respects to the Royal Mother, may you be blessed with good health."

When Zhen Huan looked at Yongji who had forgotten his words, the kindness in her eyes was about to overflow. Yongji was so handsome, fair and plump, and his words were also pleasant.

Zhen Huan waved to Yongji, and Yongji stepped into Zhen Huan's arms, making Zhen Huan laugh out loud. She praised Qingying for the good way she raised her children.

"Haha, no wonder the emperor's favorite child is Yongji. I am also happy to see this child. Queen, you have taken a lot of effort to teach the child."

Qingying lowered her head modestly and said calmly

"Yongji has been a well-behaved child since birth, so I don't have to worry too much about him. Mother really loves the younger generation, and the children know it in their hearts."

Zhen Huan narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Qingying, who was completely different from Yixiu, and she felt a little fond of her. Yes, this girl can advance and retreat, and knows how to speak in moderation. No wonder the emperor wanted to marry her in the first place.

When Zhen Huan was looking at Qing Ying admiringly, Qing Ying secretly swallowed her saliva, then kneeled on the ground consciously, looked at Zhen Huan with an embarrassed look, and said word by word:

"Mother, I came here today to ask for a favor. Qingying knows that when I was able to enter the palace, you tacitly agreed, and Qingying is grateful. So Qingying asks you to give me a name, so that I can stay in the harem with your blessing in the future."

Zhen Huan's body trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her cloudy eyes, looking at Qingying with scrutiny. After a long while, she yawned and sighed.

"I'm not blessed at all. It's just that the emperor is filial. But what you said makes me feel comfortable. You are smarter than your aunt and know how to please me. Well, the Book of the Later Han once said that a woman of noble character would not be treated without propriety. The position of queen is not something that an ordinary person can sit on for a long time. From now on, you will be called Ruyi. I hope you can always be Ruyi in the future."

Qingying raised her eyelids slightly, kowtowed heavily to Zhen Huan, and said in a calm tone

"Thank you, mother, for the name."

Seeing that there was no emotion on Ruyi's face, Zhen Huan couldn't help but think how great it would be if there was a woman like this in her own family.

"You are smart, and I understand your intention. You can rest assured with your aunt in the future. I have fought with her all my life. Even though I am only a saintly empress dowager now, I am already satisfied. The two empress dowagers in the palace must live in peace in the future. I am also really happy about Yongji. You go and pay your respects to your aunt first. I will send the child back to you later."
