The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

After New Year’s Eve, the new year arrives.

Before the Lantern Festival, good news came from the harem.

Li Changzai, who had only been favored once, was already two months pregnant.

At that time, the emperor had just finished having a meal with the queen in Jingren Palace.

After hearing the diagnosis reported by the imperial physician, the emperor was immediately overjoyed. The arrival of this child dispelled the gloom that had been in the harem for many days, and also made him, a Buddhist, feel a hidden expectation in his heart that was inconvenient to tell others.

The queen was surprised for a moment, but she immediately smiled politely: "New Year, new atmosphere. I would like to congratulate the emperor on the birth of his child."

The joy on the emperor's face was so genuine that he said happily: "Spring is the beginning of all things. This child came at the right time."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, the Queen tentatively said, "There has been no happy event in the palace for a long time. Li Chang is pregnant this time. What position does the Emperor plan to give her?"

The emperor seemed to have thought of something, and turned his eyes to the queen, "I have been on the throne for four years, it is time to add some joy to the occasion, what suggestions does the queen have?"

"Xin Changzai is an old lady in the palace, it's time for her to be promoted. Qi Guiren has just entered the palace, and the emperor has already rewarded E Min, so it's not a good time to reward her again now."

"Although Concubine Wen and Concubine Wan are deeply loved by the emperor, they have no children. If they are promoted this time, it will be without a reason."

"Lady Hui has always been a non-confrontational person, and she has neither favor nor children. If she is promoted rashly, I'm afraid people will find it hard to accept."

"I think Li Changzai can be promoted to noble lady. As for the rank above concubine, it is noble concubine. I wonder which sister the emperor prefers?"

"Oh, by the way, there is another Concubine Xia, I wonder if the emperor still remembers her?"

Upon hearing that the Emperor was going to confer titles on the six palaces, there was no trace of unhappiness on his face. Instead, he smiled even more gently and mentioned everyone in the harem in a chattering manner. For some reason, he missed Concubine Cao.

"Xin Chang has been serving me for a long time, so I will promote her to a noble lady as the queen said."

"Li, I remember that she was exceptionally quiet, and I promoted her to a noble lady according to the Queen's wishes, with the title of Jing."

"Cao is also an old member of the Qiandi Palace. Wen Yi is growing up, and her birth mother's position cannot be too low. She has always been meticulous and thoughtful, so she was promoted to Shenpin."

The queen was delighted. She deliberately did not mention Concubine Cao, just to see what the emperor's attitude was towards the people left behind by Nian. Seeing that the emperor still hadn't let it go, the queen smiled even more virtuously.

"The position of Imperial Concubine will be vacant for the time being, but the position of Concubine can be filled."

After saying so much, Xia Dongchun's name was not mentioned. Did the emperor not hear the queen's question clearly? Or did the emperor not remember this person at all?

After the emperor finished his last sentence, he looked at the queen, as if to see how she would respond.

The Queen was startled. She had done so much just to prevent Zhen Huan from becoming more powerful. She wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but now it seemed that she had lost more than she gained. However, she still did not believe in evil and continued to test him:

"Princess Wen has a gentle and kind personality, and is well-known in the palace and the previous dynasty. If she is made a concubine this time, it can be said that she deserves the title, and the four concubines will finally be complete."

The emperor had a smile on his face, but it was not visible in his eyes. He had his own reasons:

"It is precisely because Concubine Wen is kindhearted that she does not care about these superficial titles. Before Shilan died, she hurt Concubine Wan. A woman's appearance is so important. Zhen Yuandao was quite useful in the previous dynasty. I have to compensate Concubine Wan. She was very beautiful when she smiled back then, so I will promote her to Concubine Wan."

"The second day of the second month is a good day. The ceremony of conferring titles on concubines and empresses will be held on that day. Then let Wanpin and Cao come to your palace to listen to your instructions."

"There is also Li's pregnancy. She is only sixteen, and I think she has not been through anything. I want to entrust her to the Queen to ensure that she can give birth safely."

The emperor spoke very quickly. The queen could keep calm on the first two matters. After all, she could take it slow in the future. But she had to take care of Concubine Jing and ensure the safety of both mother and child. The queen's heart was alarmed. Could it be that the emperor suspected her? She immediately wanted to turn down this difficult task:

"I have headaches from time to time, and I need to take care of palace affairs. I am afraid I am too busy to do that. Among the high-ranking concubines, Concubine Duan is meticulous and Concubine Jing is kind. Why not let the two of you work together to take care of Lady Jing's baby?"

The emperor was still smiling, but his tone was unquestionable:

"The Queen has trained Wanpin very well in the past few months, and she is quite moderate in her actions. After Wanpin is canonized, you can let her help you share most of the palace affairs. This way, the Queen can take care of her health and take care of Li's baby with peace of mind."

The Queen clenched her palms. The Emperor was worried that her family would become too powerful, so he wanted Wanpin to share her power. However, if power was not concentrated, there would be constant turmoil. She suppressed her resentment and said with a forced smile:

"In this way, I will have less worries. I think the Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Jing lives is crowded with people, so why not move Concubine Jing to my palace so that I can take care of her nearby."

The Emperor was so tough on Concubine Jing's pregnancy that the Empress had to be tolerant so that the Emperor could see her hard work and virtue. As for the birth of the child, there would be so many disasters and illnesses, and who knew if the child could survive.

"The Queen has been very thoughtful. It's time for her to go to bed early."

After the emperor finished speaking, he walked into the inner room, and the empress had no choice but to follow him and help him go to bed.

As soon as he touched the pillow, the emperor closed his eyes and remained silent.

The Queen wanted to say a few words to him in private that had nothing to do with palace affairs or concubines, but before she could think of what to say, she heard the Emperor's light snoring.

The queen smiled silently at herself. They were husband and wife, but she had never felt the love and care that a wife deserved. If that was the case, she had to hold on to the power in her hands tightly and not let others get involved in it in the slightest.

On the second day, one happy event after another made the stagnant harem boil.

When Concubine Cao received the imperial edict, she was in disbelief at first, then she knelt down in panic to receive the order, and finally she cried with joy. She had hoped for and waited for many years, and finally got the position she had been looking forward to for many years. Her title is also worth pondering. Does "Shen" mean to remind her that she needs to be careful?

Concubine Cao did not dare to speculate too much, but went to Baohua Palace again in the afternoon to burn the copied scriptures for Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan finally let go of the worry that had been hanging for a long time. The emperor did not suspect her. The neglect he had shown her during this period was simply because he did not want to put her in the spotlight.

Her heart was filled with great joy at being named a concubine. Although she did not care about her position, it was always good to be closer to the emperor. In the harem, she had to be not only favored but also powerful so that the villains would be afraid of her.

Li Ying in Chuxiu Palace behaved very calmly after receiving the two imperial edicts. She was neither overly happy about the promotion nor too worried about the move to the palace. She took everything in stride, as if she had expected it all.

That night she moved into the west wing hall of Jingren Palace. In order to take better care of her daily life, the queen appropriately assigned Huichun to her.

An Lingrong took advantage of the chaos and secretly went to Yanqing Palace.
