Even if Ling Ruo didn't say anything, Yinzhen could see the problem, but he didn't care. In his opinion, both the noble concubine and the imperial concubine had treated Ling Ruo badly, and she was fully qualified to have a higher status.
Before Yinzhen could speak, Nala already said: "Your Majesty, the guard of honor has been prepared. If you change it now, I'm afraid it will miss the good time."
Yinzhen did not speak, but stared at Qian Moduo and said: "I remember that I didn't ask you to prepare the honor guard for the imperial concubine. What happened?"
Qian Moduo trembled, and when he was about to speak, Nala already said: "To inform the emperor, this is my concubine's idea. Concubine Xi returned after going through hardships and gave birth to a daughter for the emperor. I have always felt that only the title of
She is a noble concubine and feels very aggrieved, so she asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the ceremonial ceremony for the imperial concubine all night long, but failed to report it to the emperor in time. It is my fault. Please forgive me."
"That's it." After listening to Nala's explanation, Yinzhen said warmly: "Since we have made preparations, let's perform the canonization ceremony with the imperial concubine's ceremonial guard."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo knelt down and said resolutely: "I have no virtue and incompetence, so I really don't dare to accept the imperial concubine's honor guard. If the emperor refuses to agree to remove the honor guard, I would rather not be honored as a noble concubine."
"Okay then." Seeing that Ling Ruo's attitude was so resolute, Yinzhen couldn't force it, so he called Qian Moduo and said, "Go to the imperial concubine immediately and bring it up."
"My servant obeys the order!" Qian Moduo did not dare to neglect. After responding, he asked the Neiluan ceremonial guard to immediately change the ceremonial guard of the imperial concubine as quickly as possible. It was a good time to change it at the last moment of the auspicious time, but it required an itinerary.
But it was too late to give him the gift, so Nala said with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has passed, what should we do?"
Yinzhen glanced at the sky and said, "It doesn't matter. Today is the day that Imperial Concubine Xi returns to the palace. This is a sign of great joy. Everything should proceed as usual."
After Yinzhen spoke, Nala had nothing to say. First, Sixi read out the imperial edict and awarded a gold book and treasure. Then Nala gave a lecture, which was nothing more than some words about women's virtues. Finally, Ling Ling
If you kneel three times and kowtow nine times to the emperor and empress, it is said that the ceremony has been completed.
Looking at Ling Ruo, who was dressed in a royal concubine's attire, many concubines showed envy. Concubine, this is a height that they will never reach in their lifetime. Since Yinzhen ascended the throne, he has only had two concubines.
, but everyone knows that the grace attached to this Concubine Xi today is far beyond what the Nian family in the past can compare with.
Nian's favor comes from the family, but the one in front of her is purely on her own merits. Another point is that even when Nian was granted the title of imperial concubine, Yinzhen did not grant her a title, only her surname.
However, facing Ling Ruo at this moment, not everyone is just envious. There is one person who is full of jealousy. In her opinion, she is not inferior to him in terms of appearance, but his status is far below him.
Extremely unfair.
However, no matter how unwilling she was, Mrs. Liu kept a just right smile on her face, because she knew that she was still unable to compete with the beloved concubine in front of her. Just like the queen, she was so filled with hatred that she almost vomited blood.
Come, but still pretend to be concerned.
However, just because she doesn't have one now, doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. As Hongzhan grows up, her advantages will gradually expand until she can compete with the Niu Hulu clan.
After the canonization ceremony, Hongli, who returned to the palace with Lingruo, came forward, clapped his sleeves, knelt down, and said loudly: "My son, Hongli, bows to the emperor's mother, the emperor's mother."
"Get up!" Although he had already seen their mother and son, Yinzhen still felt an indescribable excitement when he saw Hongli saluting him.
Nala helped Hongli up with his own hands and said with a smile: "I am so happy to hear you call me "Huang E Niang" again. Please let me take a look." After carefully looking at Hongli,
After taking a look, he said: "I have lost a lot of weight, but I am more energetic than before. It seems that you have benefited a lot during this period of time outside. In the future, I can help you Huang Ama more so that he does not have to work so hard."
Nala was really good at reading people. With just one glance, she could see that Hongli was different from before, but she didn't see it comprehensively. She didn't know that Hongli had quietly changed from a sheep to a little one.
Wolf, and is still trying to shake up the Nala family, which has grown into a towering tree.
Hongli said humbly: "Returning to the emperor's mother, I have indeed gained a lot of experience during my time outside, but when it comes to helping Huang Ama, I still have a lot to learn."
Nala nodded and said with a bit of heartache: "It's just that there is such a scar on the face, but it doesn't look very good. Let the doctors from the Imperial Hospital see if this scar can be removed later."
Hongli lowered his head and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. However, I don't think this scar is ugly. Instead, I feel that keeping it can serve as a warning to me to be careful and not to be as careless as before."
Let people with ulterior motives take advantage of it."
Nala was startled, and then her smile returned. At this time, Yinzhen also said: "Hongli, I have asked people to clean up Yuqing Palace. From now on, you can live there. After choosing an auspicious day, I will
I officially canonize you as the crown prince."
Yinzhen's words made everyone's hearts jump. Although they all guessed that after Hongli came back, Yinzhen might officially canonize him as the prince, but they didn't expect that it would come so quickly and without any hesitation. You must know that canonization is different from posthumous title.
If nothing unexpected happens with such a registration, Hongli will be Yinzhen's successor a hundred years later, but Hongli is not the eldest son. Although this dynasty has always established virtuous people rather than elders, such a registration will undoubtedly attract many people.
Opposing voices.
Yinzhen knew this very well, but he always believed that Hongli was the most suitable successor, so he would make Hongli the crown prince no matter how many people opposed him.
Hongli glanced at Ling Ruo next to him, who nodded slightly to him. Hongli felt certain in his heart and cupped his hands and said: "Huang Ama, I have something to ask of you, and I ask Huang Ama to agree to it."
Among the people present, only Ling Ruo and Nala knew what Hongli was going to say next. As for Yinzhen, behind Xuan Yixuan's eyebrows, he said, "Can you tell me what it is?"
Hongli lifted his robe and knelt down, and said solemnly: "My son, I realize that my moral character is shallow, let alone meritorious. I really don't dare to accept the position of prince. I would like to ask the emperor to take back his life."
Yinzhen looked at Hongli who was kneeling on the ground in astonishment. First, Ling Ruo was unwilling to accept the position of queen, and now Hongli was unwilling to accept the position of prince. It was really strange. You must know that whether it is the position of queen or prince,
It was something that countless people flocked to and couldn't refuse. It was also the most precious thing he could give to the two of them, mother and son, but none of them wanted it.
