Hongli helped her up and said with a smile: "You are quite well-informed. You knew it so quickly. Sixi has just returned with the reward."
Xianyue smiled brightly and said: "How could I not know about such a big happy event? The second princess died at a young age, and Wei Guiren has always been deeply sad. Now he has finally made up for his original regret."
Hongli shook his head and said with an unknown heaviness: "Is it a regret? I would rather make up for the other one."
Xianyue looked at him in surprise and said, "What does the emperor mean?"
Hongli smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just said it casually." The biggest regret in his heart was that he used Yan Shuangfei to Xianyue, which made it difficult for her to conceive. She finally gave birth to Changle, but she was killed by Mingyu before she was full moon.
If you die young, there will be no movement after that; if
It is a choice. How much he hopes that the person who is pregnant today is Xianyue, but he dare not say these words for fear of touching the scars deep in Xianyue's heart. He can only pray silently in his heart, hoping that God will show mercy and give Xianyue another gift.
A child allows her to fulfill her long-cherished wish.
After a long silence, Hongli said again: "By the way, I want to tour the south of the Yangtze River after your canonization ceremony. What do you think?"
Xianyue said softly: "Of course it's good, unless the emperor doesn't plan to take his concubines with him."
Hongli laughed and said: "Even if I forget everyone, I will never forget my queen." After a moment of pause, he said: "In addition, Mrs. Wei... I plan to make her my concubine, what do you think?"
Xianyue looked at him with a gentle face and said: "Your Majesty Wei is pregnant with a dragon seed. It is natural for the emperor to promote her to the throne. How can I have any objections? In fact, I am here to discuss this matter with the emperor."
, but I am a little worried about one thing, and I don’t know whether I should mention it or not.”
Hongli said: "There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you have anything to say."
Xianyue nodded and said: "Many sisters in the palace accompanied the emperor from his residence to the Forbidden City. They have been with the emperor for more than ten years but rarely received Jin titles, such as Ping Guiren, Zhang Guiren and others. If Wei Guiren becomes the chief,
, Ping Guiren and the others have to bow to Wei Guiren, I am worried that there will be disharmony between them, and if it goes on for a long time, there will be trouble in the palace."
Hongli thought for a long time and said: "Do you mean to confer the titles of Ping Guiren and Zhang Guiren together?"
Xianyueqian said: "I have this intention, I wonder if the emperor thinks it is appropriate or not." She did not mention the reasons for naming Zhang, Ping and others, because she believed that with Hongli's mind, he could definitely think of it.
Sure enough, Hongli said: "I have decided to grant amnesty to the world and let the people of the world celebrate this event by canonizing you as empress this time. Since you mentioned it today, I might as well also confer the title on the harem. Apart from you, there are
Concubine Yi has been with me the longest, and she is also
She is honest and kind-hearted. Her concubine position was reserved for the fourth year of Qianlong's reign. Let's make her a noble concubine this time. There is also Concubine Ying, who gave birth to twins for me and raised them carefully.
, as for the other people, they will also be sealed by one level."
Xia Yue Yingying smiled and said: "Your Majesty is so kind to you. I would like to thank you on behalf of all my sisters." After saying that, she said with some embarrassment: "But there are only six concubines, but there are more nobles. If they are all promoted to be concubines,
I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.”
Hongli pondered for a moment and said: "Xue Qiao only entered the palace this year. She should not be promoted anymore. You can take a look at the rest. If there are any inappropriate ones, they will be eliminated."
"Yes, I have drawn up the list and brought it to the emperor for review." After Hongli nodded, she smiled and said: "If all the sisters know this, they will be very happy and grateful for the emperor's kindness."
Hongli stroked the beads hanging down her cheeks and said softly: "You gave them this grace. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it. So the person they should thank the most is you, not me."
.”
Facing his gaze, Xianyue smiled and said nothing. After stepping out of Yangxin Hall, Xianyue looked at the sunset that was half hidden in the horizon and said coldly: "If word gets out, let's say that the emperor has sealed the harem. Ning
, Zhang and Ping have been serving the saint for a long time
Jia, they should have been registered as concubines together, but because the number of concubines was limited, Wei Guiren suggested to the emperor that the newly-entered Qiao Guiren was more suitable for the concubine position, so the emperor decided to change the registration of Qiao Guiren as a concubine, and Ning Guiren remained a noble.
"
Qi Kuan said in astonishment: "But the emperor has clearly said that he will not register Qiao Guiren for the time being, why does the master..."
Xianyue glanced at him and said calmly: "I heard these words, you and Sixi heard them, besides that, did anyone else hear them? No, Ning Guiren will not know what the truth is, only
Thinking that the rumors were the truth, Wei Jingxuan abandoned her and chose Qiao Guiren."
Qi Kuan suddenly said: "I understand, my master wants to take this opportunity to drive a wedge between Wei Guiren and Ning Guiren."
Xianyue put his hand on the shoulder and said quietly: "No matter how absurd the rumors are, as long as they involve their own interests, some people will believe them. What's more... this rumor is not that absurd."
Qi Kuan lowered his head and said, "I understand and will spread the word as soon as possible."
Soon, the news that Hongli decided to seal the six palaces spread throughout the harem, and the girls were very excited. They all tried their best to inquire about the specific situation, so as to know whether they were among the Jin seals.
Ning Guiren was no exception. He sent palace officials three times a day to inquire, hoping to get the exact information.
Ever since she was granted the title of Noble in the fourth year of Qianlong's reign, what she looked forward to most was to one day be able to be ranked as the sixth concubine. Unfortunately, she has not been favored by the saints and has no heirs over the years, so she can only watch as she is later than her.
The Hu family, Yehenala family and others in the palace came from behind.
Originally, she had no chance in this life, but after the news of the imperial harem came out, her hope was rekindled. Among the nobles, except for Wei Jingxuan, who was pregnant with the dragon seed, she would definitely be granted the imperial title.
The Zhang family and the Ping family have the longest experience, and have the greatest hope of becoming the sixth concubine.
In the afternoon that day, Hong Jin, the chief eunuch beside her, came in and said to her, "Master, I have heard a piece of news. I don't know whether it is true or false."
Hearing this, Ning quickly sat up straight and said, "What's the news? Tell me quickly!"
Hong Jin lowered his head and said: "I heard that among the six concubines, there was originally the name of the master, but Wei Guiren had a good relationship with Qiao Guiren, so he made a proposal to the emperor, hoping to promote Qiao Guiren as a concubine. In this way, the concubine's position would be guaranteed.
If it's not enough, Master, just..."
Ning's face turned livid and she said, "You don't have a share in it, do you?"
Hong Jin lowered his eyes and did not dare to speak. Ning stood up and said angrily: "What a wonderful Wei Jingxuan. Fortunately, I have always taken care of her and treated her like a sister. After I found out that she was pregnant with Liujia, I even gave her a box of weekday food."
I couldn't bear to eat the snow clams here, but she actually did this to me for Dai Jia Xue Qiao, it's really too much!"
