Yue Wangshu's decree to be concubine was announced to the Sixth Palace, and it immediately overshadowed the trivial matters of Fang Jieyu and Jin's noble concubine.
Concubine Fang Gui, who was still in confinement, almost fainted on the spot when she heard the news, "She, she actually made her a concubine? Concubine Lan is also about to give birth. If the emperor is happy after giving birth to a prince, wouldn't he have to make another one?
Concubine?"
The fourth concubine is already pregnant at the time of introduction, what else is going on with her?!
Thinking of this worst-case scenario, Concubine Fang's vision went dark and she fell unconscious on the spot.
However, there was another majestic scene in the Wei Rui Palace. When she heard that Concubine Chun was being conferred, Concubine Lan was surprised and smiled: "That's a good thing." Then she quickly prepared a congratulatory gift and signed it.
The eunuchs from Weirui Palace sent congratulations to Yuanzhi Palace.
Lan Guifei's personal palace maid couldn't help but clapped her hands and said: "Fang Jieyu has given birth to a little princess, and she will be promoted to the position of noble concubine. When the master gives birth, she will be named a concubine regardless of the prince or princess! When she is introduced, she will be with Rong.
The three concubines, Concubine Xiang and Concubine Chun, are equal."
Although Lan Guifei had a cold temperament, she still had some hope for becoming a concubine. She stroked her swollen belly. The higher her status, the more noble her child would naturally be.
In the main hall of Yuanzhi Palace, Concubine Rong was the first to come to congratulate her. The emperor had only been gone for a quarter of an hour at that time.
Concubine Rong was as dignified as ever, with an easy-going smile, "I asked you why the emperor made Du a noble concubine so suddenly, it turns out he took advantage of you!"
Yue Wangshu waved his hands quickly: "Don't say that." - If Concubine Fang Fang heard this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood?
Concubine Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly said, "I know your abilities. Not to mention making you a concubine, I won't be surprised even if I make you a noble concubine today."
Yue Wangshu didn't know what to say, so he had to invite her into the flower hall for tea.
The tea is an excellent taste. The tea soup is clear, fragrant and sweet. Concubine Rong drank the tea slowly and said slowly: "Du Xuanyan is quite lucky."
Du Xuanyan is Fanggui's maiden name. Although she doesn't study much, her name is extremely elegant.
Suddenly, Concubine Rong sighed: "I feel sorry for Chen Cairen. He has served the emperor for more than ten years, and he is still just a low-level concubine."
In fact, the concubines below the four concubines can generally be regarded as the emperor's concubines, while the concubines below the common wives are all low-level.
Yue Wangshu whispered: "How about I find an opportunity to mention it to the emperor?" - I remember that when she was in a low position, she often interacted with Chen Cairen, but since she returned to the palace, she only
On the day she moved to the palace, Chen Cairen came in person to join in the fun.
Concubine Rong smiled and said: "At this time, only you, the beloved concubine, can speak in front of the emperor."
Yue Wangshu was a little embarrassed. The concubines in the harem fell out of favor one after another. In the final analysis, it wasn't because of her?
At this moment, Li Yue, the eunuch of the capital, bowed and came in to report: "Master, Concubine Xiang and Chen Cairen are here."
Yue Wangshu quickly stood up to greet her, and she saluted as usual.
But today, Concubine Xiang also responded with courtesy and forced a smile: "Congratulations to Sister Chunfei."
Yue Wangshu could see that Concubine Xiang did not accept it as calmly as Concubine Rong, so he said humbly: "I haven't had the canonization ceremony yet, so I don't dare to call her empress."
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years,@
He looked surprised: "It's true that the pair of hairpins I gave you are a bit tacky."
Concubine Xiang hurriedly smiled and said: "It's all my sisters' wishes, how can it be tacky?"
While they were talking, Lan Guifei's congratulatory gift was also delivered. It was a coincidence that it was also a painting, even the "Molan Tu" by Ma Lin, a great master of the previous dynasty.
Concubine Xiang was also surprised: "This painting was given by the emperor in the early years. Concubine Lan cherished it so much that she unexpectedly was willing to take it out as a gift."
Yue Wangshu was secretly dumbfounded. In fact, Concubine Rong's gift was just right, while Concubine Xiang and Concubine Lan's gifts were too expensive.
"Since it is Lan Guifei's favorite thing, how can I take away others' love?" Yue Wangshu was about to refuse.
Eunuch Xia of the Wei Rui Palace said respectfully: "My mother-in-law said that the pure concubine is also an elegant person who loves and cherishes flowers. I will not let you down if I give this Melancholy to you! I hope my mother will not refuse, otherwise I will be able to accept it."
I can't go back and explain to my master." As he said that, Eunuch Xia still looked pitiful.
What else could Yue Wangshu do, he could only accept it, "Thank you Concubine Lan for my good fortune."
"Yes!" Eunuch Xia responded happily, kowtowed, and then retreated.
Yue Wangshu sighed, "Concubine Xiang and Concubine Lan seem to have a good understanding of each other, and they both gave such expensive gifts."
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but smile, "It's really a coincidence." - After all, Concubine Chun is the emperor's favorite person, so this gift would rather be more expensive than something simple.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Lan is now quite experienced in world affairs.
"It seems that when Concubine Lan gives birth to an heir, the four concubines will be ready." Concubine Xiang said slowly.
If the child is a prince, Concubine Lan will not be granted the title of concubine. Yue Wangshu sighed in his heart, but it was difficult to express it with his mouth.
The winter of the eighth year was blessed by God. Although it was cold, the palace was filled with joy.
Amidst the joy and expectation, Lan Guifei finally gave birth to full term. Although the birth in Weirui Palace was not as smooth as that in Xinzhu Palace, there were no major problems. The next morning, the news came
The cry of a baby falling to the ground.
Yue Wangshu's ultimate move, which he had already cooled down, was still not used.
When the news came, His Majesty the Emperor was having tea in her Yuanzhi Palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Lan Gui has just given birth to a little prince!" Zhang Ji beamed with joy, but Emperor Yan Zheng, the biological father, looked plain, as if the son was not his own.
"I know." Yan Zheng put down the tea cup, his expression became even colder.
Zhang Ji was confused and looked at Concubine Chun who was standing aside.
Yue Wangshu: What are you looking at?!
"Back off." Emperor Yan Zheng waved his hand, looking a bit impatient.
"Yes." Zhang Ji had no choice but to retreat out in disgrace.
Yue Wangshu even sympathized with Concubine Lan. He worked hard to give birth to a son, but his father reacted like this. And from then on, he was on an equal footing with Concubine Fang.
"Your Majesty will at least reward you with some gold, silver and jewels." Yue Wangshu said.
"knew."
Yue Wangshu thought of Chen Cairen again, so he took the opportunity to say: "The second prince is not young anymore. It's better for Chen Cairen to be promoted to one or two, so that she can be ranked as the wife of the world."
Yan Zheng was a little unhappy: "What do you care about what they do?"
Yue Wangshu almost rolled his eyes, "I am more virtuous, why is the emperor unhappy?"
Yan Zheng took her hand and said seriously: "Wang Shu doesn't have to hide his true nature."
Yue Wangshu's face turned dark: I really want to beat you to death!
