Xianyue said as she was told: "Well, Brother Eleven looks a lot like the emperor, as if he was carved from the same mold."
Hongli smiled and said: "There is some resemblance, but you also know that I want a daughter more. Unfortunately, it is a boy this time. Now it depends on the Wei family. I hope she is carrying a princess.
.”
Xianyue suppressed the displeasure in her heart and said with a sweet smile: "The emperor will definitely get what he wants."
After saying a few words, Hongli raised his eyes and looked at Xianyue, who stroked his cheek with some confusion and said: "What is the emperor looking at? Is my concubine's face dirty?"
Hongli shook his head and said: "Your face is not dirty, but you seem to have something to say to me."
"My concubine is fine." As soon as she finished speaking, Hongli said: "I have been with you for twenty years. How can I not see if you have something on your mind? Just tell me. There is no need to hide anything between you and me.
.”
Xianyue smiled and said: "It seems that I can't hide things in front of the emperor in the future." After a pause, she said: "When I went to see Guiren Xia today, I heard her mention her deceased parents, and then I realized that
It turns out that Xia Guiren’s mother is A Luo’s long-lost mother.”
Honglixuan raised his eyebrows and said with surprise: "What did you say? Xia Qing and A Luo have the same mother?"
Xianyue nodded and said: "Yes, when A Luo's mother was about to be sold into a brothel, she was rescued by someone. This person was Xia Guiren's father. Later, the two fell in love for a long time and got married, thus giving birth to Xia Guiren.
Noble, if it hadn’t been for the mention by Noble Xia today, I still don’t know about A Luo. Unfortunately, her mother has passed away and mother and daughter cannot meet again. However, I want to give A Luo another grace."
"Another one..." Hongli repeated, remembering what happened on the day Yonghuang's accident occurred, and said, "Are you talking about Fu Heng?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you know that Fu Heng and A Luo have always been in love with each other. It was only because of the disparity in status and the late queen's sworn opposition that they missed each other. Now that Mrs. Fu Heng has passed away and A Luo has never married, is it possible for them to let each other go?
Will they renew their relationship?"
"Do you want me to grant you a marriage?" Faced with Hongli's question, Xianyue knelt down and said, "A Luo and I are as close as sisters. I beg the emperor to grant A Luo this grace so that she can live happily in the rest of her life.
Happy and worry-free.”
"I understand what you mean, but..." Hongli frowned and said, "With A Luo's current status, even if he is granted a marriage, he can only be a concubine, not his legitimate wife."
"Yes, so I have asked Xia Guiren what she wants. She is willing to recognize A Luo. In this way, A Luo can become Fu Heng's wife instead of a concubine." Xianyue did not mention Jin Xia Qing for the time being.
For the sake of my concubine, I would like to hear what Hongli means first.
Hongli frowned and said nothing. He understood Xianyue's mood, but A'luo's identity... Even if Xia Qing was willing to recognize this eldest sister, she was far from Fu Heng. After all, a nobleman did not hold a serious position in the palace.
As long as he likes, he can register ten or eight of them at will, without even issuing an imperial edict, unless...
Seeing that Hongli remained silent, Xianyue said tentatively: "Your Majesty, isn't it possible?"
Hongli raised his eyes and saw the worry that could not be concealed in Xia Yue's eyes. He chuckled and said, "No, I was just thinking about what kind of title it would be good to give Xia Qing."
Xianyue had a clear mind and understood what Hongli meant as soon as she heard these words, and said in surprise: "The emperor wants to make noble Xia a concubine?"
Hongli said warmly: "If this were not the case, how could A Luo marry Fu Heng and become his wife, and how could he fulfill your wish?"
Xianyue has been thinking about how to ask for Xia Qing's title. After all, the latter was born as a palace maid. Although she gave birth to the eleventh brother, her status was too low. In the Qing Dynasty, there were only a few palace maids who could hold the title of chief.
It was really rare; she didn't expect that Hongli would take the initiative to say this, which surprised her and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, are you really willing to make Jin Xia your concubine for A Luo?"
Hongli shook his head and said: "It's not for A Luo, but for you, my imperial concubine."
A simple sentence, but it contains twenty years of friendship. Xianyue's eyes were red and she said: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
"Silly girl." Hongli stroked her delicate eyebrows and chuckled: "But this matter is also a win-win situation. It not only makes Fu Heng and A Luo happy, but also allows Xia Qing to raise the child by herself. In addition, the palace has recently
A lot of things have happened in the palace, and most of the thrones are empty. It's time for a few promotions. These days, Xia Qing is quite content. She has such a connection with you, and she just gave birth to her eleventh brother.
suitable."
Xianyue nodded and said with some distress: "It's just difficult for the emperor. Once the emperor decrees a marriage, the ministers in the court will definitely object."
Hongli held her on his lap and sat down, saying warmly: "Let them object, as long as I don't change my mind. If I can't suppress even this, I don't need to be the emperor."
Xianyue held his neck and said gratefully: "I don't know how to thank the emperor."
"Stay with me well, don't betray me, and stay with me until you grow old. This is the best way you can repay me." When he said this, the shadow of Hong Zhou flashed through Hongli's mind involuntarily, and his eyes flashed slightly.
It was cold, but it was quickly suppressed by him.
Xianyue nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, I will definitely stay with the emperor until you and I are gray-haired." Hongli said nothing more, but hugged Xianyue tightly, absorbing the warmth from the latter's body.
A few days later, Hongli issued an edict to the Jin Dynasty to confer Xia Qing as his concubine, with the title Hui. On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, the canonization ceremony was held and she was granted residence in the Yonghe Palace. When this imperial edict reached the ears of the Yehenala clan, the latter
She was shocked and angry. She had always prided herself on being of noble birth, but now, a lowly woman who was born as a palace maid was actually on an equal footing with her, which really made her angry.
The most annoying thing is that Hongli has never promoted her to the position since he made her a concubine. Even when she later gave birth to the tenth prince, she was still a concubine, so every time she saw Hu's
All bitches must bow; Xia Qing is now a concubine. If there is another concubine in the future, I don't know if she will be blamed again.
The more Yehenala thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and smash it on the ground, startling the palace attendant who had just entered, and said tremblingly: "Master, Wei Chang is here to see you."
Yehenala said angrily: "No, let her go back."
When the palace maid was about to leave, Yehenala suddenly changed her mind and said, "Wait a minute, tell Mrs. Wei to come in, and also pack up the things on the floor."
While the palace servants were hurriedly putting away the broken porcelain cups, Mrs. Wei led Xiangju in, who was also holding a food box in her hand.
Wei Jingxuan glanced at the palace attendants walking by, then she knelt down and said, "I've met your empress, I'm so blessed."
