Chapter 271 The Fourth Concubine is Reestablished (Part 1)
Covered in twilight, Yongzheng arrived at Danning Hall.
"I respectfully welcome the Holy Master." Shu Jin was still as usual, wearing a loose lake blue cloud banner uniform with a gentle smile on his plump face.
She looked at how much older Emperor Yongzheng had become, and felt that she was one step closer to the good days of being a widow.
Yongzheng glanced at Mr. Geng carefully. He still had the same rich and gentle appearance, which had not changed at all. Even though he had monopolized the power of the harem for these years, he could not find any fault in his moral character. To be fair, Mr. Geng was better than Mr. Niu Hulu.
too much.
He shouldn't have had any doubts, but the Geng family and the Niu Hulu family... were at odds after all.
Yongzheng did not care about the life and death of Niu Hulu, but he could not care less about the life and death of his son.
Even if it is an evildoer who has become dim in his old age.
Shu Jin personally brought tea to Yong Zheng as before, "Have you made any mistakes during today's banquet?"
Yongzheng took a sip of tea slowly and then said: "Hongzhou... is very good." In the past few years, he has become more and more stable. His talents are not inferior to Hongli's, and he is slightly better in riding and shooting.
Yongzheng suddenly said again: "Hongshi and Hongli are not bad, especially Hongli. At a young age, he has a profound knowledge of "Shangshu", and he talks very speculatively with several Hanlin scholars."
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "The fourth elder brother is outstanding in learning. It is all the result of the emperor's good teaching."
Yong Zheng looked at the impeccable smile on Mr. Geng's face. He nodded slowly, "Talent and learning are secondary. The most important thing is that he is very filial."
Hongli's filial piety to the Niu Hulu family was not adulterated! Yong Zheng couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he just didn't know how filial he was to me!
Shu Jin secretly thought, indeed he mentioned Xi concubine.
Shu Jin hurriedly said: "Sister Xi Bin has been under house arrest for more than four years. She has been concentrating on worshiping Buddha in Jingren Palace. It shows that she knows how to repent. Now that the fourth elder brother is older, will the emperor consider forgiving Xi Bin?"
A flash of astonishment flashed across Yongzheng's eyes. Geng did not hesitate to excuse Xibi? Yongzheng's eyes darkened, "Have you forgotten that Xibi wanted to put the blame on you?"
Shu Jin said: "Yes, but after all, it was just an attempt. What's more, who is not a sage and sage? I can forgive even Ning's concubine and not care about it, let alone Xi's concubine who has been sisters for many years."
With that said, Shu Jin was blessed again: "What's more, the fourth elder brother is getting older and is about to marry Fujin. The emperor has to ask his daughter-in-law to meet his mother-in-law, right?"
Shu Jin said seriously: "So, I would like to ask the emperor to bring Concubine Xi to the garden and restore her to the position of concubine."
At this moment, Yongzheng's mood was complicated. Can Geng really repay evil with kindness?
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Shu Jin whispered: "The third elder brother has also been married for so many years, and Li Guiren's identity is really embarrassing. Since the emperor has the heart to forgive the old man, why not also restore her to the position of concubine Qi?"
.”
Yongzheng really didn't think about regaining his position as the Li family, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his eyes, "Are you serious?"
Shu Jin smiled softly: "Yes, I have the trust of the emperor and have been in charge of the harem as a noble concubine for many years. How can I not even have this kind of tolerance?"
Yongzheng was speechless for a moment.
Shu Jin's eyes turned, and he took the opportunity to say: "Since the death of Imperial Concubine Dunsu, many high positions in the harem have been vacant. I have lived in the position of imperial concubine for many years with a humble body, and I often feel uneasy. After all, I am concubine.
It’s just that I gave birth to an elder brother for the emperor, so why not the concubine Mi? If the emperor wants to have a grand title, why not make the four concubines complete?”
Yongzheng has nothing to say about such a virtuous man.
After a long time, Yongzheng nodded slightly and said, "This palace has indeed not been sealed for many years."
Shu Jin nodded hurriedly: "Yes, many of the emperor's old friends have not been promoted to the imperial rank for more than ten years."
Yongzheng didn't remember much about the old people in Qiandi, so he said: "Then the noble concubine will draw up a list of Jin Dynasty titles."
This is to hand over the right of promotion to the lower-level concubines to Shu Jin, tacitly allowing her to use this to win people's hearts.
"Yes, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will consider it carefully." - What else should I consider? It's just a big gift from the Jin Dynasty. Everyone has a share, and everyone can get the rain and dew.
Even if the expenses of the harem increased sharply after being promoted, those expenses would still be Yongzheng's money! Using Yongzheng's money as a favor for oneself was undoubtedly a sure-profit deal.
Therefore, Shu Jin called Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi the next day, and listed all the old concubines in the harem one by one. The official concubine agreed and promised to be a permanent member of the Jin Dynasty.
Concubine - Oh, Li Guiren is different, she was restored to Concubine Qi.
"Give An Guiren the title of concubine? Can the emperor be sure?" Although Concubine Mao also sympathized with An Guiren's experience and didn't mind her becoming the queen of the throne, the emperor completely ignored her because of her miscarriage.
Wouldn't agree.
Shu Jin said "Huh", "Others have been promoted, so I don't want to grant her the title. As for whether it is accurate or not, that is the emperor's business."
Anyway, the favor needs to be extended.
Concubine Mao understood instantly and immediately smiled bitterly. The emperor would probably not be right.
"Take a look for me, have you not missed anyone now?" Shu Jin asked, pointing to the long list.
Concubine Mao also looked at it carefully. Concubine Mi smiled and said: "The imperial concubine has a good memory, even the two official ladies are included." - In her palace, there was only one official girl and one who were promoted respectively.
Yes and Chang Zai. However, Concubine Mao's sister has a bunch of nobles in her palace, Chang Zai. I'm afraid An Guiren's concubine will have no chance. There is also a half-dead Concubine Ning. She is an unlucky person, so there is no need to include her.
At the top of the list, Concubine Xi was reinstated as Concubine Xi, Li Guiren was reinstated as Concubine Qi, Concubine Mi was promoted to Concubine Mi, and then Concubine An was concubine, Wang Changzai, Guo Changzai, Changzai, Gu Changzai
Here, Zhang Changzai and others were granted the title of noble person, Ma Yingsheng, Chun Yingsheng, Yi Yingsheng, Yun Yingsheng, Ji Yingsheng, etc., and a series of other minor ones such as Feng Changzai, Liu Guan's daughter, and high-ranking woman Feng Yingsheng.
After careful verification, Shu Jin personally sent the list to the emperor's Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace.
Yongzheng didn't bother to look carefully at these densely packed pages, but no matter how careful he was, he still saw the words An's concubine and Wang's concubine.
Yongzheng frowned, then picked up a red pen and crossed out these two people.
Shu Jin sighed, it was so unlucky that he was given such a good opportunity due to his high status, but he couldn't get in the car.
"You, a noble concubine, are a good person and will include everyone!" Yong Zheng looked quite displeased.
Shu Jin smiled and said, "I am not thinking carefully."
Thinking of Geng's previous magnanimity and virtuousness, Yongzheng did not doubt his presence, "That's all, that's it. When I turn around, I will issue an order to bring Xi concubine to the garden, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose a date to be promoted to the throne together.
Yes."
"Yes, I will make preparations for the birth."
In this way, the sealing matter has been finalized.
Naturally, Shu Jin would not be a good person in vain. The big list she had drawn up was spread out quietly.
Therefore, Li Guiren, who was already in the garden, came over after hearing the news.
