As soon as this imperial edict came out, all the civil and military officials in the court, including the princes, were stunned for a moment.
Then they all knelt down to congratulate.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Concubine Virtue!"
Concubine De also received the imperial edict from Emperor Kangxi at about the same time.
After hearing the content, she breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor still listened to her advice, and the content of the imperial edict was not too outrageous after all.
At first, the emperor had to write in the imperial edict that he had saved him from danger.
Concubine De was so frightened that she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it. If she really wrote such a clause in the imperial edict, she would be a thorn in the side of the women in the harem and a thorn in their flesh.
From now on, there will be a noble concubine in the palace, who is from the Tong clan and the emperor's cousin.
It's just that the emperor's attitude towards the Tong family is a little subtle now.
This imperial concubine also likes to be quiet and does not pamper her much. She has almost no sense of presence in the harem.
He is different. The emperor often comes to Yonghe Palace.
It seems that even the young concubine is not as favored as her.
Among the four concubines, several of them should be dissatisfied, but due to various reasons, they are not standing against her now.
Not only did she get a promotion this time, but she also had a rescue halo around her, and others would probably panic.
Everyone knows it is one thing, but writing it down in an imperial edict is another.
That will leave a name in history.
With such a big credit on your head, you probably won't fall out of favor in your lifetime, right?
She has a respected status, is kind to the Holy One, has an excellent son, and is favored by the Holy One. How could such a woman not be feared by others?
If a woman threatens the entire harem, there is only one answer. All the women in the harem will unite to fight against the enemy.
She has always lived her life freely, but she doesn't want to become a living target.
Now this can be considered a perfect ending, right?
Qiu Ju now had a full smile on her face and helped Concubine De up: "The Imperial Concubine is very happy, congratulations to the Imperial Concubine! Congratulations to the Imperial Concubine!"
The slaves around him did the same thing, and they all knelt down.
"Congratulations to the imperial concubine, congratulations to the imperial concubine!"
"No gifts, get up quickly. Today is a good day. Later, everyone will receive one more year of monthly silver."
Concubine De smiled and waved to everyone.
"Thank you, empress!" Everyone kowtowed happily.
Now my master is probably holding up half the sky in this harem.
From now on, whoever sees people in their palace will quietly call them aunt or father-in-law.
Looking at the servants kneeling beside her, the smile on Concubine De's face suddenly stopped.
"You guys have been with me for many years. When you entered the palace, you followed me. Now you are considered a prominent person in this palace. But the more you get to this time, the more you have to control your heart.
.
Outsiders look at this position of my palace as one with infinite glory and unimaginable splendor and wealth, but I walk on thin ice and never dare to take it lightly. You should all know this.
This palace has now reached such a position. In the future, there may be many eyes staring at the Yonghe Palace.
Even now, I am still not sure whether this position can be secured.
You have been by my side for so many years, and even if you don’t say it, you should know the truth that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer.
Remember, when you are out and about, you must not bully others because of your position, which may cause disaster.
If this palace knows about it, you will definitely not be tolerated!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be more careful in the future and will never bully others and ruin Your Majesty's reputation."
Qiu Ju immediately nodded and replied.
Everyone around him immediately responded.
Everyone knows the truth behind this, and besides, the people around Concubine De have been carefully selected by her, and she just needs to keep them in mind so that they don’t forget their roots.
Seeing that there was no longer that impetuous air on their faces, Concubine De immediately picked up the tea again, took a sip and said:
"But you should also remember that you are the people who serve the imperial concubine. If anyone else dares to bully her, you should show the dignity that I should have.
As long as the matter is with us, even if it brings trouble to the Emperor, I will make the decision for you, do you know?"
"Don't worry, your Majesty, we will not disgrace you!"
This sound was loud and powerful.
"Okay, everyone, get up. Don't take the next time lightly. The canonization ceremony will be held in one month. It's time for you and Qiu Ju to get ready."
After a while, all the servants around her began to be busy. Only Concubine De sat on the table, her brows still slightly wrinkled. After a long time, she sighed:
"I hope it can be calm..."
…
Yuqing Palace
"Your Highness, it's really not easy to meet you!"
Prince Zhi was now sitting carelessly in the main hall of Yuqing Palace.
He held the tea in his hand and took a sip casually. His eyes looked back and forth on the decorations of Yuqing Palace with great interest.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Weren't you busy with something a few times ago?
It’s also my fault that those servants didn’t make it clear. If Gu knew that you were coming to see me, I would be waiting for you at any time.”
His Royal Highness the Prince said with a gentle smile.
Prince Zhi nodded his head noncommittally after hearing this, and then said: "Tell me, Prince, you rarely come to your palace.
When we were young, we, two brothers, played together at the knees of our ancestors. I still vividly remember the scene, but I didn’t expect that as we grow up, we become less and less close.”
Prince Zhi's tone was a bit sad.
After hearing what Prince Zhi said, the prince's face became a little nostalgic.
As an ancestor, she loves him and her eldest brother the most.
When I woke up, I kept talking about "guaranteeing purity" and "guaranteeing success".
Early in the morning, he and his eldest brother would go to have dinner with their ancestors.
They both went to their ancestor's place to do their evening homework together.
When they were young, the two of them were competing about this and that, but most of them were just children, but what about now?
Forget it, just don’t say it.
"If eldest brother wants to get close to Yinreng, we will have plenty of time in the future. As long as eldest brother is willing." After the prince said this, he looked at Prince Zhi intently.
There was something intriguing in his eyes.
Prince Zhi looked at him for a long time, then laughed out loud, stood up and patted the prince on the shoulder: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
I don't know what he meant.
After the eldest brother took off his hand, the prince moved his slightly aching shoulders, frowned slightly, and then he smiled again as if something suddenly occurred to him.
I am really becoming more and more outrageous.
I'm afraid my eldest brother also thinks I'm naive, right?
"Brother, you're not here today just to catch up with Yin Reng, are you? You can just ask me if I have anything to do."
