In Yongxin Palace, Concubine Rong was naturally very happy after hearing about the marriage. The maids and eunuchs around her were very eye-catching and quickly congratulated her and congratulated the acting king.
Concubine Rong was so happy that she generously rewarded everyone with three months' worth of money.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty still loves and values His Highness the King." Jin Mei, the eldest maid next to Concubine Rong, said flatteringly.
Concubine Rong was all smiles, which made her look even brighter.
"I mentioned Kong Taichang's little daughter in front of the emperor before, but the emperor did not agree at that time. I thought the matter was out of the question, but I didn't expect that the emperor would marry Kong Taichang's little daughter to the king as a concubine today."
"My Lady, when you mentioned this matter before, Miss Kong was not yet a hairpin girl, so the Emperor did not agree. Now that Miss Kong is about to be a hairpin girl, the Emperor has given her a hand in marriage to His Highness Dai Wang." Jin Mei said with a smile, "Yinu maid Look, the Emperor has already kept this matter in mind, and has long wanted to marry Kong Taichang’s youngest daughter to His Highness the King as a concubine.”
Concubine Rong said with a sweet smile: "My cousin is really..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty will always take your words to heart." Jin Mei continued to compliment Concubine Rong, "My Majesty, Your Majesty really loves you."
These words touched Concubine Rong's heart, and Concubine Rong's heart was filled with sweetness, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
"My cousin is always like this, he likes to surprise me."
"Empress, this shows that the Emperor cares about you." Jin Mei said, "In the entire palace, there is no empress who can receive a surprise from the Emperor."
This unique surprise made Concubine Rong's heart even sweeter.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the emperor gave Miss Kong a marriage to His Highness as a concubine mainly for your sake."
"For me?" Concubine Rong looked confused, "How do you say this?"
Jin Mei lowered her voice and said in Concubine Rong's ear: "Of course the emperor wants your empress to be his wife."
The word "wife" deeply shocked Concubine Rong's heart. Growing up, her biggest dream was to become her cousin's wife. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on her and she married her cousin as she wished, but she did not become his wife.
Concubine Rong will never forget the night when Emperor Wu of Zhou married the late empress more than twenty years ago. She knew in her heart that her cousin did not marry the Xie family willingly, but to gain the support of the Xie family. However, she still couldn't help but feel jealous, angry, and more importantly, sad.
Her aunt told her that she could not be her cousin's wife, but her cousin liked and loved her the most. This was where Miss Xie couldn't compare to her. However, she wants to be her cousin's wife.
On the night when my cousin and Miss Xie got married, the whole house was filled with joy and everyone was very happy. She was the only one who was sad.
She hid in her room alone, crying. She cried all night long, until her tears ran dry to her heart. Later, she still had to accept the fact that her cousin's wife was someone else.
Fortunately, her cousin didn't like Miss Xie, which made her feel a lot better. However, not long after, Miss Xie became pregnant, which made her jealous again.
The year Miss Xie gave birth to her cousin's child, she and her cousin finally got married, but she was a concubine and could not marry her cousin. She couldn't even wear a red wedding dress. That day, she was carried into her cousin's yard wearing a pink dress.
Originally, her aunt wanted her to marry her cousin, but her uncle said this was against the rules. In fact, she knew in her heart that if she and her cousin got married, Miss Xie would be unhappy. The aunt could only wrong her and send her directly to her cousin's yard.
That day, she was very happy, but at the same time very sad. She was happy that she finally married her cousin in time, but sad that she could only marry her cousin as a concubine.
Her cousin knew that she was sad and promised her that he would always be good to her and would never let her be wronged again. My cousin did the same, loving her as always and not letting her suffer any injustice.
Later, the cousin became the emperor, Miss Xie became the queen, and she became a noble concubine.
After becoming a royal concubine, her cousin became more and more doting on her. For more than ten years, she, as a noble concubine, has been favoring the Sixth Palace and enjoying endless fame. Even the queen is not as good as her.
In the third year after my cousin became emperor, the queen's health gradually became worse. After more than a year of delay, the queen died of illness. At that time, she felt that her chance to become a queen had come.
She had thought before that if the queen died, her cousin would definitely make her the queen.
After the queen died, her cousin intended for her to become the queen, but unexpectedly the Xie family stepped in and made their legitimate daughter the cousin's successor.
This legitimate daughter of the Xie family is the youngest daughter of the Xie family. I heard that the Xie family wanted to marry their legitimate daughter to their cousin, but the legitimate daughter was too young, so they had no choice but to marry their illegitimate daughter, who was about the same age as her cousin, to her cousin. Now that their concubine died of illness, the Xie family naturally wanted to marry their grown-up legitimate daughter to their cousin.
She originally thought that her cousin would refuse, but he agreed to let the Xie family's legitimate daughter enter the palace as his successor. She had a quarrel with her cousin over this matter. The cousin said that Dazhou had just been established and still needed help from the Xie family, so the daughter of the Xie family had to continue to be the queen.
She understood what her cousin said, and she could only watch her cousin marry the Xie family's legitimate daughter as his heir again.
She didn't hate her cousin, nor did she hate the late queen, but she hated the Xie family and her successor. It was the Xie family and Queen Xie who took away her position as queen.
"Empress, you are going to be the queen soon."
Jin Mei's words brought Concubine Rong back from her past thoughts. She raised her red lips and smiled softly: "I've finally waited for it!" She had waited for more than thirty years to finally become her cousin's wife. days.
Jin Mei knelt down to congratulate Concubine Rong: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!"
She added, "My queen, if you wait a little longer, you will definitely become the queen."
Concubine Rong smiled slightly: "I have been waiting for more than thirty years, so why not wait a little longer." She knew that her cousin would not let her be a concubine for the rest of her life. She knew that her cousin would definitely make her his wife.
Jin Mei's expression suddenly became very serious: "Your Majesty, at this time, we must be steady and never let the person from Zhaoyang Palace take advantage of her."
At the mention of Queen Xie, Concubine Rong's face instantly turned cold, her eyes full of hatred.
"Let her be proud for a while longer. After some time, I will settle old and new accounts with her."
"Your Majesty, since the emperor has granted marriage, should we give something to Miss Kong, or summon Mrs. Kong and Miss Kong to the palace?"
Concubine Rong nodded slightly and said, "In two days, Mrs. Kong and Miss Kong will be invited to the palace."
She told Jin Mei, "I remember I have a pair of red coral bracelets. Find them and give them to Miss Kong when the time comes."
Jin Mei was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, those red coral bracelets are extremely precious. This is the only pair in the entire palace. They are a birthday gift from the Emperor to you. Why did you give them to Miss Kong?"
Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Because she is worth it."
"Your Majesty, you didn't give it to the princess before, but now you want to give it to Miss Kong. If the princess knew about it, I'm afraid she would be unhappy."
"The child won't be unhappy." Princess Dai is Concubine Rong's biological niece. She was sent to the palace since she was a child and raised by Concubine Rong's side. "That child knows the importance of Miss Kong in his heart."
She added, "Compared to the Kong family, a pair of red coral bracelets are nothing."
"Your Majesty is still thoughtful."
Concubine Rong told Jin Mei a few more valuable things and asked Jin Mei to find them from the warehouse.
"In more than an hour, the acting king will be back." Concubine Rong's mood became excited.
"Mother, you have not seen His Highness for several months. You must miss His Highness very much."
"Every time he goes out to quell chaos, I feel very anxious." Erxing Qianli's mother is worried. Concubine Rong Guifei is also a mother. "This time he went to Liangzhou to quell chaos, and there are many dangers. I feel even more worried, so Nothing happened to him this time when he quelled the chaos."
"Your Majesty, your Highness is brave and good at fighting, how could something happen?" Jin Mei said, "Your Highness has made such a great contribution in pacifying the Liangzhou rebels this time, which makes you feel very embarrassed."
"This child has never let me down since he was a child, nor has he let his cousin down."
"Don't the Emperor always say that our Highness is most like him?" Jin Mei said with a smile, "As long as our Highness takes action, there will be no chaos that cannot be quelled."
"This child does resemble my cousin the most, but compared with my cousin when he was young, he is a little worse." In Concubine Rong's heart, Emperor Wu of Zhou was the most powerful.
"Of course His Highness can't compare with the Emperor." Jin Mei suddenly remembered something, "Mother, His Highness is back. Are we going to hold a celebration banquet for His Highness tonight?"
"Not necessarily, maybe tomorrow night." Concubine Rong said, "The emperor may let the king have a good rest tonight."
"My queen, at the celebration dinner, you must wear something that shines brightly, so that the one from Zhaoyang Palace will be overshadowed."
