Yongzheng's imperial edict was beyond everyone's expectations. Needless to say, the Sixth Palace concubines were surprised, and even the Empress Dowager, who had always valued Shu Jin, was also quite surprised.
My dear concubine, this is not something a cat or a dog is qualified to do!
Even Wu Yashi was just a virtuous concubine back then!
You know, Wu Yashi is still a Manchu after all!
During the reign of the late emperor, who could be a noble concubine but not from a famous family?!
This matter immediately caused an uproar in the harem. Shu Jin's background was undoubtedly the most controversial aspect. It was terrifying. The emperor even specially issued an order to raise the family flag for this noble concubine Yu! Although she was only carried into the palace.
The Han army is flying a yellow flag, but you must know that Concubine Dun is just a Han army flying a yellow flag!
Although it is still lower than the Manchu Army flag, it can be regarded as a respectable background.
As for the disgrace of the past, who would dare to openly talk about it?
No matter how many people were envious, jealous, and resentful, they all had to rush to the Danning Palace where they were to congratulate the Imperial Concubine Yu on her promotion to the imperial concubine. No one dared to be absent, because Yongzheng also issued an oral order to the harem.
All the concubines went to the imperial concubine at 3:00 a.m. three days later to congratulate her.
Therefore, Concubine Dun couldn’t even pretend to be sick to avoid it!!
All the concubines, headed by Concubine Xi and Concubine Dun, all knelt down to pay tribute, while Shu Jin sat on the Ruyi throne in the main hall and accepted the ceremony peacefully.
This scene is very similar to the scene in the past when the concubines greeted the queen.
It was rare for Shu Jin to dress up grandly and luxuriously. He wore a silver-red tapestry suit with hundreds of flowers and dragons, a red gold peony string on his head, three pairs of second-class Dongzhu earrings on his ears, and a plump Hao bracelet on his wrist.
A pair of golden silk double dragon and bead bracelets.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. Dressed like this, you still have the noble posture of a noble concubine.
Shu Jin quickly glanced at the people below. Except for a few people who were still in confinement and Su Changzai who was raising a fetus in the side hall, all members of the harem were here.
"Sisters, you are interested." Shu Jin had a faint smile on his face. Even if there were people older than her here, Shu Jin could still pretend to be the eldest sister now.
After saying that, he raised his hand and bowed, pointing to the chairs and embroidery piers on both sides, "Sit down and talk."
On both sides of the bottom, there are only four Nanguan hat chairs in their early 40s, which are for the second concubine and second concubine. The rest of the nobles are always there, so if they agree, they have to be aggrieved and sit on the embroidered pier.
After all, the Danning Hall is not as spacious as the Luoyue Kaiyun Hall and cannot accommodate as many chairs.
Concubine Xi smiled and said warmly: "The emperor suddenly issued a decree to favor my sister. It is really great news."
She is indeed Qianlong’s mother.
In comparison, Xiao Nian Gao's acting skills were much worse. His pretty face was cold and his eyes were full of aggrievedness. Sitting on a chair covered with Yunjin cushions, he looked like he was having a butt.
Shu Jin smiled and said: "The emperor's grace came so suddenly, I still can't believe it. I have little talent, how can I deserve the position of a noble concubine?"
Concubine Dun gritted her teeth: Of course you can’t afford it!!
Mao Bi immediately smiled brightly and said: "The Imperial Concubine is really too humble. As a concubine, the most important thing is your character. The Emperor appoints you as the Imperial Concubine. Naturally, he feels that your character is noble and worthy of this position."
Mi Bi smiled sweetly and immediately agreed: "What sister Mao Bi said is true! The imperial concubine is gentle and kind, respectful and considerate. Not only did she take good care of the fifth elder brother, but it was also thanks to your care that I was able to have a safe birth.
Xia Hongxin. Such virtue is the most rare thing!"
These words are not only flattering, but also telling Concubine Xi and Concubine Dun why Shu Jin became this noble concubine!
Concubine Dun couldn't help but think of the bitch of the Su family who was being raised in the side hall of Danning Hall. She couldn't help but gnash her teeth secretly, but she forced out a smile: "Sisters are all here today, why don't you see Su Chang here?!"
Shu Jin smiled and said: "Su Chang came over half an hour ago to congratulate me. It's just that she was not in good health, so I asked her to go back to the side hall to take care of her. After all, the emperor's heir is important."
Emperor's heir! Concubine Dun was gnashing her teeth with hatred. Su had harmed her child, yet she lived comfortably in Danning Palace on her belly!
Concubine Xi narrowed her eyes: "This Su Changzai is quite lucky. If it weren't for such a virtuous person as the imperial concubine, I'm afraid she would..." Concubine Xi did not say the rest of the words, and only looked at Concubine Dun with a smile.
At a glance. Just because she saved the Su family from the hands of Concubine Atsushi, she made Concubine Yu the imperial concubine!
This was something Concubine Xi had never expected.
But Concubine Xi's words really touched Concubine Dun's heart.
Concubine Dun felt a severe pain in her heart for a moment, but it happened that Geng was a concubine named by the emperor. He even raised the family flag for her, and even called the concubines of the Sixth Palace to come to congratulate her! This was obviously to help Geng establish her prestige.
, is also beating her!
Shu Jin saw this and thought to himself, this little rice cake still hasn't calmed down.
Seeing this, Concubine Mao said harshly: "The emperor's heir is naturally valuable, but Su is a guilty concubine, and the emperor has not forgiven her. When she gives birth to an emperor's heir in the future, will she have to go back to the cold palace to continue to be punished?!"
But Concubine Xi smiled and said: "How can the mother of the emperor's heir go to the cold palace? As long as she can give birth to a healthy brother for the emperor, the emperor will not be happy and have to promote her to the position."
Hearing this, Concubine Dun was so angry that she clenched her pink fists under her sleeves.
Shu Jin's face darkened slightly, "Sister Xi Fei is so good at understanding the Sacred Heart! It seems that the Japanese Palace will have to ask the Emperor himself if he plans to pardon the Su family?"
Concubine Xi's smile froze. If Mr. Geng really asked, no matter whether the emperor pardoned her or not, I'm afraid she would think her mouth was broken...
"I just said it casually, but please don't take it seriously." Concubine Xi had no choice but to give in. After all, the emperor was quite unhappy with her now, and she couldn't afford to anger Long Yan.
Shu Jin immediately smiled: "Concubine Xi, you have always been cautious in your words and deeds. I think you are too happy for me today, so you are so outspoken. But don't worry, neither I nor Concubine Dun will take it seriously."
.”
This is a reminder to Xiao Nian Gao not to be provoked by Concubine Xi.
Concubine Dun finally came to her senses at this moment. How could the emperor pardon the humble maid who killed Fuyou?! This Niu Hulu clan wants to use me as a gunman again!!
"Thanks to Concubine Xi for reminding me, I should ask the emperor if he has any intention of pardoning the Su family!" Concubine Dun gritted her teeth and said, it is not convenient for the Su family to touch her for the time being, but Concubine Xi dares to use me again and again?! Let's teach her a lesson first.
With Concubine Xi, you can at least express your bad breath!
Concubine Xi's smile was a little stiff.
Shu Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip. You want to take advantage of others, but it's a pity that others are not chess pieces in your hands!
Shu Jinfu smiled again and said: "Actually, according to the rules of this dynasty, there are two noble concubines. If we can't keep it together, there will be a second noble concubine in the future."
Concubine Xi immediately understood the meaning of Geng's words. Geng was telling Nian that it was absolutely necessary to target her as a noble concubine and just compete for her favor! There was not only one position for the noble concubine!
This is not what Concubine Xi wants to see. She said with a smile: "Sister, the imperial concubine, is joking. Since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a precedent for two imperial concubines to stand side by side."
Shu Jin smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it a precedent for a noble concubine of my family background?" - When making exceptions, there will be two.
Concubine Xi choked and didn't know how to defend herself. The emperor made Concubine Yu a noble concubine in order to let her take charge of the Sixth Palace. If so, how could he make a second noble concubine? So if he doesn't pull her down, others can't think of it.
Climb up!
But how can such words be expressed in words?
At this moment, Concubine Dun's eyes flickered, obviously believing Shu Jin's lies.
What Shu Jin wants to do is to win over, divide and suppress.
Concubine Xi and Concubine Dun could not be of the same mind. Since Concubine Xi was dishonest, she chose to win over Xiao Nian Gao and let Xiao Nian Gao suppress Concubine Xi.
