The Empress Dowager's forty-fifth birthday was celebrated with great excitement. On this occasion, the emperor also officially issued an edict to confer the title of "Rong'an" on the Empress Dowager. When the emperor ascended the throne, he honored his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Rong, as the Empress Dowager Renshou.
On her birthday, she was given the honorary title "Kang Yi", and now she is the Empress Dowager Renshou Kangyi Rong'an.
Listen to this title, it’s all good words, it’s so long and spicy, it’s really impressive.
Unlike concubines like them, their titles were not banned while they were alive.
For example, Concubine Lin De and Concubine Xin Xian, these virtues and virtues are not actually titles, but just positions.
Not to mention Wen Xiaotu, Zhaoyi.
If you want to get a title, you have to either beat the emperor's husband to death, or beat yourself to death and earn a posthumous title - a title reserved only for dead people.
The Empress Dowager's forty-fifth birthday, due to the honorific title, was handled with the same grandeur as her fortieth birthday. The whole day was filled with toasting, singing, dancing, silk and bamboo performances, and the palace concubines, clan relatives, etc.
The nobles took turns to kowtow to celebrate the birthday, and there were so many birthday gifts.
Wen Xiaotu didn't want to be dazzled, so he asked someone to get a golden longevity peach, which cost a full three hundred taels of silver! - His flesh ached, and most of the five hundred taels of silver Xu Yiren gave him was gone in an instant!
After the Queen Mother's birthday, the winter became colder and colder, but the favor of Changyi Palace became more and more popular.
Wen Xiaotu would be checked by the emperor every three to five days, but every time the emperor would remain unmoved and calm as a mountain, showing no signs of sleeping with her.
She was so favored that the number of times Lin Cai Nu slept with her fell sharply.
Previously, Xiao Lin's sudden favor made Concubine Lin De angry. Now that Lin Cainu's favor has gradually faded, Concubine Lin De was even more furious.
Therefore, Concubine Lin De couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly asked the Queen Mother to allow Jiang Cairen and Cui Cainv to move to her Jingyi Palace.
How could the Queen Mother not see such a blatant clique? However, the Queen Mother thought about Mrs. Lin organizing her birthday, and she was so tired that she lost weight. In addition, Mrs. Lin successfully sent Xiao Lin to the emperor's dragon bed.
, the Queen Mother then thought, if the Jiang family and the Cui family were to go too, she would still be favored after a while.
In this way, the Queen Mother turned a blind eye and agreed.
After the Laba Festival, Jiang and Cui officially joined Concubine De, and the Jingyi Palace next door to Wen Xiaotu was bustling with excitement.
But this is the case, the big and small Lin family and the Jiang family and the Cui family, four people together, are not as favored as Wen Zhaoyi alone!
To be precise, in Jingyi Palace, only the big and small Lin clan were occasionally called to Qian'an Palace to stay, basically once or twice a month.
And Wen Zhaoyi can do it seven or eight times a month!
This is simply a special pet!
Seeing that Wen Zhaoyi's favor was not diminishing but increasing, Concubine Lin De became very impatient. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the emperor came to Jingyi Palace to visit the eldest princess Jinyan, she also asked Jiang Cai and Cui Cainu to serve tea, but the emperor did not show any concern.
Unmoved!
Concubine Lin De was puzzled. Among the people in her palace, who was not more beautiful than Wen Zhaoyi?! Even she herself was not inferior at all! Why did the emperor fall in love with the Wen family who could only wear heavy makeup to show off to others?
Under the pomegranate skirt?! What a weird thing!
Concubine Lin De was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. What was even more annoying was that the emperor kept asking her to go to bed, but in fact he just asked her to stand dryly for half an hour. She couldn't even get close to the emperor!
Whenever there was the slightest chance of being favored, Concubine Lin De would not want to push others to the emperor's pillow!
What’s even more annoying is that the picking girl Lin Fangrui actually fell ill after the Laba Festival! Although it was not serious, she always coughed intermittently, neither bad nor good!
If a concubine is sick, no matter how serious it is, she must not sleep with her! If the concubine is over sick and passes away to the emperor, no one can afford it!
In the past, Concubine Lin Def was jealous of Lin Fangrui because she was young and could serve as her bedmate, but now she couldn't help complaining that Lin Fangrui was too squeamish and useless!
Tianze's ten-year winter was spent in Wen Zhaoyi's exclusive favor.
In the entire twelfth lunar month, Concubine Lin De, Concubine Xin Xian, and Lu Chongyi only went to bed once, while Wen Zhaoyi alone went to bed six times!
What kind of special favor is this?! Concubine Lin De was so jealous that her eyes were bleeding!
Concubine Lin De couldn't help but want to "ask" Wen Zhaoyi, how on earth made the emperor so obsessed with her?!
In Changyi Hall, Wen Xiaotu held a fat ball of mutton-fat jade in his arms, stroking it along the hair. This little thing weighed almost twenty kilograms, and it was carrying a big fat cat! Unlike Linde
The concubine’s amber is purely because her hair is long and fluffy, which makes her look fat.
"My dear, where did you go last night? Even though it's the end of the first month of the year, it's still cold outside." Wen Xiaotu muttered. With her current favor, she wasn't worried about anyone daring to harm her beloved concubine.
.I couldn’t help but think that mutton-fat jade has been a wild cat for too long, so it always likes to go out for walks.
It's okay, anyway, the mutton-fat jade will definitely be back when it's time for dinner.
At this moment, she heard an angry voice coming from outside the palace: "Mr. Wen! You have gone too far!"
Wen Xiaotu was enjoying playing with his cat when he was stunned for a moment. This voice seemed to be... Concubine Lin De?
As she became more and more "favored", Concubine Lin De looked at her more and more unkindly. However, Concubine Lin De was quite patient. Mainly because Concubine Lin De was not very courageous and never dared to treat her, the Emperor's arrogant child.
The beloved concubine takes action.
Furthermore, Wen Xiaotu was always very respectful when he saw Concubine Lin De. If Concubine Lin De couldn't find anything to do with her, it would be hard to cause trouble.
After a while, Concubine Lin De had already rushed into the main hall. Her eyebrows were raised. She looked at the lazy big cat in Wen Xiaotu's arms and her nose was crooked. "Okay! You have raised such a good beast!"
Wen Xiaotu stood up holding the mutton-fat jade and blessed her. She frowned slightly. What kind of beast is she? Why did Concubine Lin De seem to have taken gunpowder today?
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "Ms. Concubine De, my concubine's mutton-fat jade has always been well-behaved and never hurt anyone." - Look at Concubine Lin De's posture, it's as if she was scratched and disfigured by a cat!
Concubine Lin De was so angry that her face turned purple. She pointed at the cat in Wen Xiaotu's arms: "It's so well-behaved? How did I, Amber, get pregnant?!"
Wen Xiaotu:...What?!
For a moment, her eyes widened and she couldn't help but look down at the lazily mutton-fat jade in her arms. The amber was Concubine Lin De's pet, a three-year-old female lion cat, and her mutton-fat jade
Jade - his age is unknown, but he is an adult male cat, a cross between a lion cat and a garden cat.
"So...you've been nowhere to be seen these days, so you ran out to find a little wife for yourself?" Wen Xiaotu looked at the mutton-fat jade that remained motionless and stable as a mountain, his eyes full of surprise.
Yes, they are all adult cats, and they are not male cats. Of course they will have estrus.
After hearing this, Concubine Lin De was so angry that half of her face turned blue, "Mr. Wen! My amber is a top-notch lion cat! It was actually defiled by your bastard fat cat. You
——Don’t think that just because you are favored, you can bully my beloved pet like this!”
Wen Xiaotu could tell that Concubine De was really angry, but why did she really want to laugh?!
