Except for the prisoners of Wang Gu of Huaiyang, they will be pardoned until death.
In March, the fifth prince was appointed as the crown prince.
Although because of King Huaiyang, many nobles and high-ranking officials in the capital were convicted and expelled from the capital.
But another spring has arrived, and the capital is even more lively than in previous years.
There are countless people going out for an outing, and the weather this year is also particularly pleasant.
The scene inside the palace is also completely new.
Every morning, the concubines in the palace would come to Cen Yunchu's palace to pay their respects.
The people around Cen Yunchu were very meticulous. What tea each concubine liked to drink and what snacks and fruits they liked to eat were all prepared in advance.
As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, she is willing to treat these concubines leniently.
As long as she doesn't deliberately waste time, she is willing to make these people feel better.
Speaking of which, these concubines are also pitiful people. Although they have no worries about food, clothing, and high status, they are ultimately neither free nor lonely.
This morning, all the concubines made an appointment to go to the Queen's Palace to pay their respects.
Because Cen Yunchu was promoted to queen, she obtained the emperor's consent and automatically promoted all the concubines in the palace to one level.
Zhong Jieyu became Zhaoyi, Shui Zhaoyi, Feng Zhaoyi and others were all made concubines.
Progress in sequence.
No one is unhappy. With both fame and benefits, how can everyone not be happy?
"The Empress, the weather is really nice these days. We are planning to have a banquet in the Imperial Garden. I wonder if the Empress can give me a favor?" Concubine Shui Rong asked with a smile.
"The Spring Banquet should be held every year. Since everyone is in the mood, you might as well hold it twice more.
Although it is just a banquet in the palace, there is a lot to worry about.
I think you should have two or three people handle it together each time, so that there can be more discussion and it will be easier." Cen Yunchu suggested with a smile.
"The Queen is really smart. This method is very good." Everyone agreed.
"I remember it's Han Zhaoyi's birthday in a few days, so let's hold the first show on her birthday." Cen Yunchu added, "It will be more exciting this way."
Han Zhaoyi was demoted to a beauty because she was coerced by the queen to frame Cen Yunchu.
Now Cen Yunchu has resumed her identity as Zhaoyi.
She was naturally extremely grateful to Cen Yunchu, and quickly stood up and said: "Thank you very much, Queen, for thinking that I am really anti-terrorist."
"What's there to be afraid of? This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Because it's your birthday, we can add six more dishes as usual!" Cen Yunchu smiled, "I can also report the accounts to the emperor at that time."
The last sentence was of course a joke, and everyone laughed after hearing it.
After sitting for less than half an hour, everyone stood up and wanted to leave, because Cen Yunchu had many things to deal with every day.
"Concubine Hui, please stand for a moment." Cen Yunchu said, "I have something to tell you."
So the other concubines resigned, and only Concubine Gao Hui stayed.
Afterwards, the palace people also retreated.
Only Cen Yunchu and Gao Huifei were left in the room.
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?" Concubine Gao Hui asked carefully.
"Concubine Hui, since you are already a concubine, there is no way for you to be promoted to a higher position," Cen Yunchu said.
"I know." Concubine Hui nodded, "I have no complaints."
Although you can still upgrade half a level to become an imperial concubine, as long as there is a queen above you, you will generally not be granted the title of imperial concubine.
What's more, it's not auspicious. Usually, such a title is given only after the concubine dies.
"The second prince is also twenty years old this year, right?" Cen Yunchu smiled slightly, "I have discussed with the Holy Emperor and want to make him king."
Gao Huifei's originally calm expression became obviously excited after hearing these words.
But she tried her best to suppress it and thanked Cen Yunchu: "Thank you, Queen, this... this is really beyond my expectation."
Generally speaking, after the Daxia Kingdom has established a crown prince, only after the crown prince succeeds to the throne will the other brothers be crowned kings and ordered to return to their respective fiefdoms.
This was naturally done to consolidate the imperial power and prevent the princes from relying on their own troops and causing trouble.
But it also suffered for the princes who had not been granted the title of Jin for a long time.
Especially when the prince was much younger than them, it was even more miserable.
Some waited until their beards and hair were half gray before they were allowed to go to the fiefdom.
"But I have to make a deal with you. The fiefdom given to him is only one county, which is equal to that of an ordinary county king. Are you willing?"
After hearing this, Concubine Gao Hui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are really kind-hearted. I am not that kind of fool, so I can naturally understand the painstaking efforts of you and the Holy One.
Granting him the title of county king is already a great favor. We would not dare to take over a fiefdom that is too big for him."
From ancient times to the present, no prince who occupies a large title has been able to die.
Only one county was given to the second prince, which was enough for him.
What's more, if he is granted a county title now, he will definitely be granted another title after the prince ascends the throne.
Of course, it is more for the sake of the prince to prevent him from becoming a tree and attracting the wind. It is also good for him at the same time.
"The county granted to him is very close to the capital." Cen Yunchu smiled, "If you are willing, you only need to return to the palace once a month, and you can stay with him in the fiefdom the rest of the time."
"Concubine...Concubine, did you hear it correctly? Can I do it?" Gao Huifei could not help but feel excited this time.
After the princes reach the age of ten, they have to live in separate palaces.
Only on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, or on special festivals, can you visit your biological mother in her palace.
And even if you are granted the title of king, except for a few who can bring their mothers and concubines to the fiefdom, the other concubines will die of old age in the palace.
Concubine Gao Hui's long-lasting wish was to follow her son to the fiefdom, where mother and son would stay together forever.
It's just not easy to achieve. She originally thought it would take many more years to achieve it.
I didn't expect it to be so many years in advance.
"The marriage of the second prince has also been decided. After his wedding in August this year, you can go to the fief." Cen Yunchu said, "Concubine Hui, you are a sensible person and I will not treat you poorly.
"
Concubine Gao Hui naturally understood what she meant.
I am also glad that I followed the right person in the first place.
"Then let's do it." Cen Yunchu said, "You have to prepare yourself."
Concubine Gao Hui helped Cen Yunchu, and Cen Yunchu also gave her what she wanted most.
Concubine Shui Rong's son is still young now, so he will be treated like this when the time comes.
This is true for the prince, and he is particularly protective of the princess Cen Yunchu.
All princesses will not marry far away. Which family they marry and who they marry are decided by their biological mothers.
She felt that these people were all the emperor's children and the prince's brothers.
Try to prevent them from resenting "never reborn in the imperial family in the next life".
I have to say that Cen Yunchu is really popular.
She has strategies, but she never relies on them.
She has rights, but she never abuses them.
"Empress, you have such a broad mind and vision, the prosperous age of Daxia is not far away." Concubine Gao Hui bowed deeply to Cen Yunchu.
