An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 391: Short-term and long-term concerns
"Empress Xiaoxian!"
Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Jing and slowly uttered the name.
Empress Xiaoxian, also known as Imperial Noble Consort Dong E.
However, when Dong E was alive, her highest rank was Imperial Noble Consort. After her death, the extremely sad Emperor Shunzhi, despite the opposition of his ministers, posthumously conferred her the title of Empress.
Having said that, there are still many doubts about Dong Efei's position as "Queen".
Therefore, when Cao Qinmo mentioned her before, she always addressed her as "Imperial Noble Consort". Of course, this was also to complement the subsequent treatment of Concubine Hua.
Zhen Huan had not realized this point before, but after Jingpin reminded her, she understood it instantly.
"It seems that the position of Queen is what Concubine Hua really cares about!"
When saying this, Zhen Huan's face was very solemn.
On the other hand, he also understood why Concubine Jing had to wait until she returned to Xianfu Palace before discussing this topic with him?
It's simply because this matter is of great importance. If it is made public and heard by others, it is very likely to bring disaster!
"Although Concubine Hua has always been disrespectful to the Queen, she has never revealed her thoughts so bluntly. When I heard it just now, I secretly broke into a cold sweat."
Recalling her feelings at that time, Jingpin, who was once a princess in Concubine Hua's room, was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.
Regardless of whether Hua Fei wanted to seize the position of Queen or had other plans, once Hua Fei really became the Imperial Noble Consort, the days ahead would be difficult for him and others!
"It's irreversible now."
Zhen Huan felt the deep worry in Jingpin's tone, but could only smile bitterly.
As early as when they were in the Old Summer Palace, Yongzheng summoned her and An Lingrong to the Qinzheng Hall. Zhen Huan knew that the matter was done. She did not object at the time because she knew it was unstoppable.
If you do something knowing it is impossible, isn't that just being brave but foolish?
Even if Zhen Huan thought she had some strategy, she naturally had no way to reverse the situation when the emperor had already made up his mind.
"Then we can only hope for the best."
Although Jingpin is the head of a palace, she is very self-aware.
When it comes to favor, even if there were a few more of her, she would still be far inferior to Zhen Huan in front of her.
Zhen Huan was unable to stop it, she could only pray secretly that Concubine Hua would not be too arrogant.
But as you can imagine, this is almost a luxury.
When she was still a concubine, Hua Fei could simply ignore the other concubines of the same level as herself, and even openly challenged the Queen, while holding all the power, big and small, in her hands.
If the emperor really issued an edict to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort, not only would the queen's power be further weakened, but Concubine Hua would also be so proud of herself!
"The only consolation now is that Concubine Hua has no children, so we must be more careful to protect Concubine Hui's tires so that we can still have some hope!"
When Jingpin thought of this, her face suddenly changed.
No, Concubine Hua doesn’t have any children now, that’s right.
But it doesn’t mean that Concubine Hua will be like this in the future!
"Sister Wan, you must be more careful!"
Thousands of words finally turned into this one exhortation, which contained Jingpin's deep concern.
Given her personality, it is not easy for her to say things to this extent.
Jingpin didn't dare to say anything more.
Fortunately, Zhen Huan was smart, and Jingpin believed that she would be able to understand her intention by listening to the music of the strings.
……
"How is it? How is it going?"
In Cunju Hall, Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan, who seemed to be worried since her arrival, and asked her proactively.
"Ugh……"
In response to Shen Meizhuang's question, Zhen Huan first sighed, and then told Shen Meizhuang about the topic she had discussed with Jingpin, as well as the verbal battle between Huafei and the Queen in Jingren Palace before.
Because Shen Meizhuang is Zhen Huan's close friend, she naturally would not be on guard against this close friend who grew up with her.
When they were still in the Old Summer Palace, Zhen Huan had already told Shen Meizhuang in advance that Yongzheng might promote Hua Fei's position after returning to the palace.
At that time, Shen Meizhuang was extremely angry.
Unfortunately, Zhen Huan was helpless in this matter, and Shen Meizhuang certainly had no way to persuade the emperor to change his mind, so the two sisters could only sulk there.
"This bitch!"
Sure enough, after listening to Zhen Huan's retelling, Shen Meizhuang immediately became furious and said angrily, "If a woman like this is promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, won't the harem be in chaos?"
"Sister Mei, don't you think it's not chaotic enough now?"
In the face of Shen Meizhuang's anger, Zhen Huan could only smile bitterly.
She felt that the emperor certainly didn't want the harem to fall into chaos.
But why upgrade the concubines at this time?
This question slowly came to her mind, causing Zhen Huan to frown subconsciously.
Wait a minute—it seems like she forgot something important.
"Ok?"
Shen Meizhuang became even more furious when she heard Zhen Huan say such negative words.
But at this moment, Shen Meizhuang also caught Zhen Huan's sudden thoughtful look, so she did not disturb Zhen Huan immediately, but waited quietly for Zhen Huan's next words.
"I see!"
After a long silence, Zhen Huan suddenly screamed, which scared Shen Meizhuang.
"What did you find?"
At this time, Shen Meizhuang did not blame Zhen Huan for being startled, but looked at Zhen Huan seriously.
Being stared at expectantly, Zhen Huan also looked back with burning eyes, and then said: "Sister Mei, do you remember that at the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet, Master Shi made an inappropriate remark, which made the whole banquet end in displeasure. The same was true for Princess Wen Yi's Hundred Days Banquet in the Old Summer Palace."
"Of course I remember."
Shen Meizhuang nodded, but then looked puzzled again.
What they were talking about just now was the promotion of Concubine Hua and the concubines. This is a matter of the harem. What does it have to do with the princes of the previous dynasty?
"Sister, you may have forgotten that Prince Dun is the son of Consort Wenxi, and he once worked with Nian Gengyao in his early years!"
At this point, Zhen Huan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she muttered to herself, "So, the emperor doesn't want to compensate... It's very likely that he wants to flatter me!"
"Because of Nian Gengyao?"
Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang's thoughts took a sharp turn, and she instantly understood Zhen Huan's discovery and her emotional change.
Indeed, Nian Gengyao is now in the capital. If they have not returned from the Old Summer Palace, the general Nian naturally would not be able to know the situation of his sister.
But now they have returned to the Forbidden City. Even if the confinement order on Concubine Hua has not been lifted, with the power she has cultivated in the palace over the years, it would only take her a matter of minutes to send someone to pass on the message to Nian Gengyao.
Even though officials of the previous dynasty were not allowed to speak rashly about the emperor's harem, Nian Gengyao was no ordinary military general!
He had worked hard to ensure that Yongzheng ascended the throne, and his sister also married into the palace and is now the emperor's concubine, and he himself has made outstanding military achievements.
Based on this relationship, it's no wonder that the emperor is wary.
