The next day, Zhang Lin, the deputy general manager of the Imperial Palace, came to Chengqian Palace with the imperial edict. Shu Jin, who had received the news in advance, also asked people to prepare the incense table early in the morning, put a futon in the main hall, and knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.
Although Zhang Lin is an eunuch, his voice is no different from that of an ordinary man, with a cadence and a somewhat "angelic" attitude.
"I am the only one who started from the boudoir. I ordered the rituals to be formal. I have a good appearance and a picture of history. I respect the etiquette and rank. I use the emblem of Yuan Ben. I use the Zhao Yi Code. I consulted the Geng family, Ke Ye Roujia, and recommended Shu Shen early.
It is worthy of the honor of Henghuang. It is appropriate to bear the honor of wearing elephant clothes. I once admired the empress dowager's kind words and canonized you as the imperial concubine. You have cultivated your conduct. You have been blessed by the scenery. Shi Peilunyan. He Hongxi.
Don’t replace me. I’m so grateful.”
Shu Jin was confused when hearing this obscure decree, but he still clearly heard the word "Yu Fei"!
Not Yubi!
It’s really Yufei!
Shu Jin was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: "I have accepted the order and thank you for your kindness!"
Shu Jin took the imperial edict with both hands and saw Zhang Lin immediately smiled brightly and said to Qian'er: "My congratulations to Concubine Yu!"
Come on, this "congratulations" is not in vain, and a thick red envelope must be given.
Zhang Lin accepted the reward and his smile was as bright as clouds, "Thank you for the reward!"
Shu Jin quickly asked: "What position did Sister Li register for?"
Zhang Lin smiled and took out a paper edict from his sleeve, which was obviously inferior to Shu Jin's silk edict.
Seeing this, Shu Jin hurriedly asked someone to help Li Gege from the side hall. Even though he was pregnant, he had to kneel in front of the incense table to receive the order.
Fortunately, the purpose of conferring a noble title is only two short sentences: "Imperial edict: Mrs. Gege Li, I am conferring you the title of noble noble of the fifth rank. I appreciate this!"
Shu Jin: Why don’t you give me a little compliment?
"Concubine, I have received the order to thank you." Li Gege bent down slightly with difficulty, and then stood up to receive the edict. It was inevitable that he would have to ask the personal palace maid to stuff a piece of silver into the eunuch who passed the order, but compared to Shu
Jin's red envelope was really thin.
Zhang Lin doesn't dislike it, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat. Besides, you have to give Concubine Yu some face, right?
Zhang Lin said with a smile: "If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will still have to go to Yanxi Palace to convey the order."
Shu Jin hurriedly asked: "What is Sister Song's status?"
Zhang Lin said in a low voice: "I have sealed the title of concubine Mao."
Sure enough, nothing has changed... Shu Jin sighed slightly and hurriedly asked eunuch Zhang Shoufa to politely escort Zhang Lin out of Chengqian Palace.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Shoufa received the first-hand news: "It goes without saying that Empress Zhongcuigong is the queen, the one from Changchun Palace was named Concubine Qi, and the Empress from Jingren Palace was named Concubine Xi. In addition, several others
Qian Di, Shu Fu and Jin are all of the sixth grade and are always here."
They are Guo Changzai, Zhang Changzai, Changzai and Hai Changzai.
Without Qipin's consent, Yongzheng was not too unkind to his concubines.
"I see you, the Queen, and I wish you all the best!" - After the position was settled, even if there was no formal canonization ceremony, when Zhongcui Palace resumed greetings again, everyone also changed their words and respectfully addressed Uranala as
Queen.
At this moment, the Ulanara clan could finally straighten his back and sit on the phoenix throne.
"Fair body, grant me a seat!" Queen Uranala sat majestically, wearing a magnificent phoenix.
It's just that this time, Niu Hulu, the empress of Concubine Xi, was a little confused about how to sit down. Previously, Geng gave up her seat to her. At that time, she also felt that Geng was probably just a concubine, and she would definitely get the concubine position, so it was in line with the rules.
.Unexpectedly, Geng was also granted the title of concubine.
However, Concubine Qi, Li Shi, had already sat in her original seat without hesitation, and looked at Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu with great interest: "Hey, why are the two sisters still standing?"
Shu Jin had no intention of quarreling with Niu Hulu, so he smiled and gently pushed Niu Hulu, gesturing for her to come forward.
Niu Hulu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and was about to express her thanks, but the empress who was sitting on top of her said: "Concubine Yu, there is no need to refuse. Yesterday the emperor issued an order to send Chen Fu, the palace supervisor and chief attendant, to convey the order to this palace.
The Palace Supervisor, Zhang Lin, and Wang Chaoqing conveyed the order to you and Concubine Qi. The one who went to Jingren Palace to convey the order was Su Peisheng, the chief eunuch of Maoqin Palace. The order of the three of you has been decided by the emperor a long time ago. If you refuse randomly, it will be
The rules are broken!"
Shu Jin didn't know that it was Su Peisheng who went to deliver the decree to the Niu Hulu clan? And Su Peisheng was just the chief eunuch?
Even though this chief eunuch is the number one eunuch in the east and west palaces, he is really not the number one eunuch in front of the emperor.
Concubine Xi Niu Hulu looked a little embarrassed for a moment. After all, the Palace Supervisor was followed by the Deputy Palace Supervisor, and then the chief eunuch. This shows that she is far inferior to Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu in the eyes of the emperor!
The queen actually used the emperor and the rules to suppress her, and Shu Jin could no longer refuse. But she still wanted to wait for Concubine Xi to give in.
Fortunately, the mother of the future Qianlong had not lost touch with the world of humanity. She forced a smile and said: "Sister is older than me, so I should invite you first."
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said "Thank you" before stepping forward and sitting on the first chair on the right under the queen.
Then there are Concubine Xi and Concubine Mao, four of whom are always here. The main hall of Zhongcui Palace is several times larger than the Danhua Hall in the past. With so many women sitting down one by one, it seems a bit deserted.
Concubine Qi Li took a sip of tea complacently, looked at Concubine Yu across from her, and said teasingly: "It can be seen that Concubine Yu's efforts to protect the dragon's fetus made the emperor feel that her sister is unparalleled in virtue, so he made her a concubine. Speaking of sister,
I have to thank the Queen for giving you the responsibility of sharing my worries!"
These words were clearly sarcastic.
But what surprised Concubine Qi was that the queen actually endured it.
The queen forced out a virtuous and decent smile: "It was indeed my fault that I neglected to attend to the illness of the Empress Dowager, and actually ignored Li Guiren. Thanks to Concubine Yu's careful care, the emperor's heir was saved."
Shu Jin couldn't help but feel nervous, this queen... her endurance has been upgraded! She got up quickly and said, "I don't dare to be a concubine."
The queen said with a gentle face: "Why should Concubine Yu be so nervous? Just sit down and talk."
"Yes." Shu Jin thought to himself. It seemed that what he said that day had taken effect.
The queen suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Concubine Li: "It's strange to say that when Li Guiren was in the dormitory, she was the most intimate with you. How come she entered the palace, but Concubine Yu took more care of her."
Shu Jin secretly thought, it seems that the queen also understands that Concubine Qi is her number one threat.
Also, Concubine Qi is the banner of the Han army and has the emperor's eldest son Hongshi at her knees, so she is undoubtedly the most advantageous contender for the position of Prince Yuanshou. And she is from a wealthy family, so she is the least threatening.
From a normal point of view, it is most uneconomical for the queen to break her head with her.
It'll be good if your sanity comes back.
Very good, very good, keep it up. Shu Jin hopes that this Queen’s IQ will return!
The Queen's sarcasm made Concubine Qi very unhappy, and she immediately retorted bitterly: "Even the Queen has never cared about things, so naturally I have neglected them."
The queen's eyes darkened slightly, and she secretly clenched her fists under her sleeves, but she still endured it, "It seems that I and Concubine Qi will have to be more careful in the future."
Shu Jin secretly ate the melon and felt very happy.
