Chapter 163 The Queen Helps Concubine Qi Enter the Palace
When the empress dowager heard the emperor's agreement, she showed her satisfaction. Although the emperor finally agreed to one person, fortunately he did not reject all of them.
When the Queen learned from the Queen Mother that the Emperor had only agreed to allow one beautiful girl to enter the palace, she was a little disappointed. She had carefully selected three, but now the Emperor only agreed to one. Well, it was better than nothing.
Gyeongin Palace
That day was the night of the full moon, and the emperor came to Jingren Palace to have dinner with the empress.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following Su Peisheng's loud announcement, Jingren Palace suddenly became quiet.
The palace maids all knelt down to salute, and the queen, who was sitting at the table, slowly stood up and greeted them with a smile.
The queen was wearing a dark red dress embroidered with golden phoenixes. She looked dignified and elegant, and appeared graceful and luxurious.
Lanxiang stood aside, looking respectful, ready to serve at any time.
"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"
"Get up." The emperor waved his hand and his eyes fell softly on the queen.
He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looking dignified and walking steadily.
The queen stood up and said softly, "Your Majesty, please come to my palace to have a meal. I am very grateful to you."
The emperor sat down with his sleeves brushed, his face showing no joy or sadness, "Tonight is the night of the full moon, and I am here to accompany the queen. I should accompany the queen and spend a good night together."
Lanxiang stepped forward to pour wine and serve food to the emperor. Her movements were gentle and skillful, with a hint of nervousness and awe in her eyes.
"Empress, you have worked hard these days. How is the preparation for Concubine Xi's enthronement ceremony going?" The Emperor raised his glass and asked with concern.
The Queen smiled and replied gently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is ready. We are just waiting for the day of enthronement."
The emperor nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, "That's great, the queen has taken so much trouble to do these things, I am grateful in my heart."
"This is my duty. It is my honor to share the emperor's worries." The queen smiled lightly with gentle eyes.
"By the way, how are the preparations for the full moon banquet for Sixth Prince Hongzhou and Princess Lingxi going?" the emperor asked again.
"It has also been arranged. I will ensure that everything goes smoothly." The queen replied with a firm look.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "The queen has worked hard and put in so much effort on these matters. I am very grateful."
The queen looked at the emperor with gentle eyes, "As long as the emperor is happy and Concubine Xi is satisfied, I will be satisfied."
During dinner, Lanxiang was always there to serve, her movements as smooth as flowing water.
Su Peisheng stood quietly at the side, keeping an eye on everything around him to make sure there were no mistakes.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to discuss with you." The Queen spoke in the silence, her voice gentle but with a hint of seriousness.
"Oh? What's the matter?" The emperor put down his chopsticks and looked at the queen.
"Regarding the selection of concubines to enter the palace, what is the emperor's plan?" asked the queen, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, "Then in the queen's opinion, which girl is more suitable?"
The queen smiled slightly and said slowly: "I think that Guarjia Emin's daughter, Guarjia Wenyuan, is a good choice in terms of both appearance and talent. Her father, Guarjia Emin, has also made great contributions to the emperor."
The emperor nodded slightly, "Since the queen has this opinion, then let's do as the queen says. After the ceremony of conferring the title of Concubine Xi, we will choose an auspicious day to welcome Guarjia Wenyuan into the harem."
There was a glimmer of pride in the queen's eyes, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart that her plan was about to come true. Guarjia Wenyuan, the tool man, was about to enter the palace and become an important chess piece for her to control the overall situation.
The queen turned slightly to the side, looking at the emperor tenderly with her pair of phoenix eyes, and said in a gentle yet dignified tone:
"Your Majesty, I checked the calendar today and found that Concubine Xi's canonization ceremony is still some time away."
She paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued, "However, in two days it will be a good time to welcome a new person into the palace. Your Majesty, do you think it is possible to welcome her into the palace first?"
The emperor was eating the food in his mouth with relish. When he heard the queen's words, he looked up with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The emperor knew that the queen had always been very concerned about the affairs of the palace, and he had neglected her for some time because of her house arrest.
The Emperor thought that the Empress was so eager to welcome the new beauty into the palace this time because the Empress Dowager was putting pressure on her behind the scenes, wanting to make his harem more substantial, which also showed the Empress's generosity.
The emperor glanced at the queen with a thoughtful look in his eyes, then smiled and said:
"In that case, let's do as the Queen says. Guarjia Wenyuan's family is prominent, and Guarjia Emin is a meritorious official. So, we will confer the title "Qi" on Guarjia Wenyuan, and her rank will be "noble lady."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The Queen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible hint of pride.
..............................
Because some time ago, Guwalgiya Emin had repeatedly offered suggestions on punishing Prince Dun and suppressing Nian Gengyao, Prince Dun attempted to unite with Nian Gengyao and was suspected of plotting a rebellion.
Although Nian Gengyao was no longer valued, he still had some military power in his hands. Once he joined forces with Prince Dun, he would inevitably strengthen Prince Dun's power.
However, Nian Gengyao was repeatedly advised by Concubine Hua not to have too much contact with Prince Nadun. Nian Gengyao was a man who doted on his sister and could not resist his sister's repeated entanglement, even threatening her with death.
Concubine Hua loves the Emperor. She knows that if Prince Dun and her brother rebel, if they succeed, the Emperor whom she loves deeply will die. If they fail, her brother will die, and she and the Emperor will never be able to go back to the way they were before. She will either be sentenced to death or imprisoned in the cold palace.
This was the conclusion Concubine Hua came to after careful consideration at night, so she tried every means to force her brother not to associate with Prince Dun. Now that she was deeply favored by the Emperor, she hoped that her brother could fulfill her wish.
Nian Gengyao finally listened to Concubine Hua's advice and no longer participated in Prince Dun's rebellion. Instead, overnight, he suddenly asked the emperor to retire and return home, handing over all his military power.
Even the emperor could not have expected that Nian Gengyao would make such a decision. Later, after investigation, it turned out that Nian Gengyao made this decision after Concubine Hua had privately interacted with him many times.
After Nian Gengyao asked to retire and return to his hometown, the emperor became more fond of Concubine Hua and sent her tonic medicine to treat her cold body.
Concubine Hua was also shocked as to why her brother suddenly retired and returned home. She just wanted her brother not to get involved in Prince Dun's rebellion, not to ask her brother to retire and return home and stay away from the court.
At that time, Concubine Hua was sad for a long time, but she was comforted a little because the emperor favored her.
Concubine Hua was also very fortunate that Prince Dun was eventually executed by the Emperor, and it was also a good thing for her brother to retire and return home.
..............................
two days later
Noble Lady Qi entered the palace and was granted the Chuxiu Palace to live in. Everyone in the harem knew how magnificent the Chuxiu Palace was. There were rumors that Noble Lady Qi was named a Noble Lady as soon as she entered the palace and was allowed to live in the Chuxiu Palace. This showed how much the Emperor valued her.
