Sheng Huan was so weak that he fell into a deep sleep again not long after eating and taking medicine.

Kangxi tucked in the quilt for her and looked at her sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness.

He got up and went to the study in the side hall.

"Your Majesty, what you want is already prepared."

Liang Jiugong stepped forward and presented a bright yellow brocade and a brush.

Kangxi nodded.

The silk quilt was spread evenly on the table, and Kangxi began to write quickly without hesitation.

Liang Jiugong, who was serving the pens and ink, had already had a premonition, but when he saw what Kangxi had written on the silk brocade, he was still shocked, and the action of grinding the ink even paused for a moment.

She was promoted to... Imperial Noble Consort?!

Kangxi looked at the contents of the completed imperial edict, did not notice Liang Jiugong's shocked look, and stamped it steadily.

His Pan Shu has always been proud and aloof. After all, the position of a royal concubine is low, and now she has suffered such a great injustice. She does not speak of her grievances, but he knows that she is a white cloud in the sky and should be high above. Now she follows him but is wronged to be a concubine, which is ultimately a humiliation for her.

His eyes deepened slightly. Then he would be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort first, and after the child is born, he would...

No one in the harem had any idea that on this night, an imperial edict that shocked the harem was written by Kangxi.

After writing it, he said to Liang Jiugong: "Your mistress Xi needs to rest, so don't ask anyone to disturb her tomorrow."

So that no one would disturb her again.

"Whoo."

The next day, when Sheng Huan woke up, Kangxi was gone. Instead, he saw a bright yellow imperial edict lying quietly beside his pillow.

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, you're awake!"

Feng Qi's surprised voice was heard. Sheng Huan looked up and met the joyful expressions of several palace maids. Their fluttering brows seemed to be filled with joy that was about to overflow.

Zhu Yu Feng Hua hurried forward and helped Sheng Huan up.

Sheng Huan stood up and opened his mouth: "What... happened?"

Feng Hua had already lost her usual composure: "My Lord, you are now the Imperial Consort. This is the imperial decree issued by His Majesty when he left this morning!"

"Yes, Master, this is the imperial edict." Zhuyu pointed to the silk beside the pillow: "Master, this is what the Emperor himself placed here for you."

It was hard to describe the Emperor's expression at that time, but she felt that he was very happy.

Zhu Yu is also very happy now. She never expected that she followed a good master and now becomes the head maid of Jingren Palace!

Sheng Huan was stunned, his eyes fell on the imperial edict, and Su Bai reached out and picked it up, opening it.

Then, I saw Kangxi’s profound, majestic and sharp words.

[The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Imperial Consort Hesheli is of high character, elegant and prudent... and now has given birth to a son, making her a meritorious official of the Imperial family. She is now canonized as Imperial Consort, given the title "Xi", and granted a golden seal and golden book, to assist in the management of the six palaces. This is my decree!]

Sheng Huan looked at the contents of the imperial edict. His emotions were stable, but his face showed some complicated emotions. He didn't look happy, nor unhappy, but just a little confused.

Feng Qi and the others couldn't understand what Sheng Huan was thinking, but as servants, they were naturally happy that their master had been promoted, and they quickly congratulated him.

"Congratulations, Master, for becoming the Imperial Noble Consort!"

-

Before Sheng Huan woke up, the important event of conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort was announced after Kangxi left Jingren Palace. It shocked everyone in the harem, and they were all confused and stunned.

Yonghe Palace

With a "pop", Concubine De lost control and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. She didn't even notice the hot water splashing on her fingertips. Her usual calmness was gone. She held Fang Lu's shoulders tightly, her armor had already dug into them, and she was almost going crazy with jealousy: "Imperial Noble Concubine? Hesheli was promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine?!"

"How is this possible? She has only been in the palace for less than two months. What qualifications does she have? How could she become an imperial concubine? How could His Majesty be so confused!"

In Defei's heart, Kangxi was a very calm and even indifferent person, and no one could easily figure him out. She had been a concubine for so many years and had worked diligently all the time. She finally became Defei. But now, a woman named Hesheli suddenly appeared and became a noble concubine above her. Now, in just one month, she has become an imperial noble concubine.

How could someone be so lucky?! She used to be proud of herself for climbing up from a palace maid to a high position, but now seeing the history of Consort Xi's promotion, she feels that she is useless.

Fang Lu's shoulders were in great pain from being grabbed by her. The broken teacup residue under her feet made her afraid to move easily, for fear of accidentally stepping on it. Seeing that her master couldn't believe that he had lost his manners and said something that shouldn't be said, questioning the emperor, her face changed drastically: "Master, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall!"

Upon hearing this, Defei came back to her senses. She was helped by Fanglu to sit back on the couch, but she was still in shock.

If it were in the past, she would have taken action against that person, after all, her brilliance was too bright, but now, she didn't dare to do so. The Emperor has now issued an express order not to let anyone go to Jingren Palace to disturb her.

His Majesty had obviously protected that person as if he were his own apple. Could she easily move him? Thinking of the fate of little Hesheli, Concubine De broke out in a cold sweat.

She paused for a long time before finally speaking: "What's going on in Chengqian Palace?"

Now that there is another Imperial Concubine in the palace, what does Imperial Concubine Tong think? Will she take action? After all, Imperial Concubine Xi has obviously threatened her position.

Fang Lu shook her head: "There is no movement over there yet." She paused: "But Master, I heard that several of the ladies next door seem to have gone to Chengqian Palace."

Concubine De also stood up quickly: "Change clothes."

She wanted to see what other people thought.

Cheng Qiangong

When Imperial Concubine Tong heard the news from Jingren Palace, she was not surprised. After all, when she witnessed Kangxi going crazy and disposing of little Hesheli that day, she had anticipated this day.

It was also expected that Concubine Xi would not stop at being a concubine.

She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I have always believed that Your Majesty is incapable of loving others."

His Majesty's blessings are bestowed upon all six palaces, even her. When she first entered the palace, she thought she was special and that her status would earn her love. Later, she found out that it was not the case. Kangxi did not love her, but respected her because of her status as his cousin from her mother's side.

She tried for a long time but it was in vain. Even though she had a high status, she still suffered a lot of grievances in the palace, because of him, because of the concubines in the harem, and even because of the Fourth Prince, even though he was adopted by her, the jade disc was not registered under her name.

Finally, at that moment, she suddenly realized that he was the emperor and she could not and should not love him.

His Majesty clearly saw things more clearly than she did before, so why is he so reluctant to let Imperial Concubine Xi suffer any injustice now?

Imperial Concubine Tong was wondering, would Imperial Concubine Xi become the Queen next?

But she is still the Imperial Concubine.

Could it be that she lost to the first two queens, and now she will lose to Noble Consort Xi!

"Cough, cough, cough!" Her throat felt itchy and she couldn't help coughing. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and when she took it away, blood appeared again.

"Master..." Yue Xin was so worried that she almost cried.
