Liang Fei opened her mouth, but no words came out for a long time.
She simply didn't understand that since the emperor said it was what happened, why did Concubine Zhen say that in front of her?
So I can't think of anything to refute.
Jiang Xinyue coughed twice and her body swayed. Emperor Xuanwu caught her with quick eyes and hands, and the pain in his eyes almost overflowed, and he hugged her up.
When she looked at Concubine Liang, her eyes were frighteningly cold: "Concubine Liang has bad conduct, behaves recklessly, and does not know how to repent. From now on, she will be demoted to Concubine Yu, grounded for three months, and fined for half a year. The palace officials of Shun'an Palace have not tried to dissuade her. If there is a next time, I will replace all the people in Shun'an Palace."
Empress Zhu didn't even have time to say a word. Emperor Xuanwu followed up and said: "Concubine Zhen has done a good job in giving birth to a son. She gave birth to Lin'er for me. She will be named the first of the four concubines - Concubine Xian. She will keep the title. When the sixth prince is one month old, , perform the canonization ceremony together."
Being named the virtuous concubine, the first of the four concubines, was not enough to show the emperor's favor, so even the title was reserved for Jiang Xinyue.
From now on, everyone will call her Concubine Zhenxian, which distinguishes her from other concubines in the harem.
"No! No, Your Majesty... I... I really didn't lie. Concubine Zhen really said that."
The emperor had automatically blocked what the good concubine said, but Empress Zhu disagreed with her face and said: "Your Majesty, I don't disagree with you making Concubine Zhen a good concubine, but there are people in the harem who are more senior than her, including Concubine De and Concubine Rong. Concubine, even Jin Zhaoyi has been in the palace much longer than her, so the emperor’s move may chill their hearts.”
She did not completely reject the emperor's idea, but said tactfully: "Besides, Concubine Zhen is young. If we make Concubine Xian at this time, we will not be able to suppress the concubines with so many years in the harem. It is better to make Concubine Zhen the concubine first." Concubine, when she gets older in two years, it won’t be too late to make her a good concubine.”
It sounds nice, as if everyone is thinking about Jiang Xinyue, but in the harem, preventing people from being promoted is like killing their parents, but Jiang Xinyue still doesn't want to.
She raised her head from the emperor's arms: "Empress, were you only more than ten years old when you became empress?"
The late emperor had countless harems, but in his early years he indulged in excessive sexual activities and was emptied out by wine and sex. When his heirs were withering away, there was also serious internal strife in the harem, and several princes and concubines died under conspiracy.
At that time, the Queen Mother was not favored, but due to a combination of circumstances, Emperor Xuanwu was the only remaining prince. From that time on, the late Emperor favored the Queen Mother and established Emperor Xuanwu as the crown prince.
When Empress Zhu became empress, she was only eighteen years old, which was comparable to Jiang Xinyue's current age by half a year.
Empress Zhu can be a queen at the age of eighteen. How come she can't be a good concubine at the age of seventeen and a half?
Zhuge Liang didn't lead any troops before he left the mountain!
Isn’t he still famous in history?
Empress Zhu wanted to say, how could she deserve to compare with herself?
The Zhu family was from a century-old family in Chang'an. Whether it was financial resources or talents, they were far superior to the Jiang family. No... it should be said that the Jiang family was not qualified to carry shoes for the Zhu family.
Even the emperor is afraid of some wealthy families, and she is the legitimate daughter of the family. She has been raised according to the highest standards of noble girls since she was a child. How can she be compared to a concubine from a small family like Zhenbi?
But these words, Empress Zhu only thought about them in her heart, and she could never say them out loud.
When Emperor Xuanwu thought that good concubines were unscrupulous and virtuous concubines were not necessarily virtuous, he became even more determined: "I am the emperor, the son of heaven, and the lord of the world. I just want to make a woman my concubine. When will Do you still want to look at the faces of the concubines? Is it me who chills them, or does it chill you, Queen?"
Empress Zhu was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the emperor, and said with a wry smile: "I don't mean that, I'm just afraid that Concubine Zhen is young and lacks dignity. Since the Emperor has made up her mind, I congratulate Concubine Zhen... on becoming Concubine Xian's sister." .”
Jiang Xinyue restrained her sharp claws and smiled softly at Empress Zhu: "I would like to thank you, the Empress."
In just one afternoon, word spread throughout the palace that Concubine Liang ordered the eunuchs to instigate a relationship between the fourth prince and Concubine Zhen. However, Concubine Zhen found out and went to Shun'an Palace to cause a scene.
During the dispute, Concubine Liang pushed Concubine Zhen down, causing her amniotic fluid to break, and the Sixth Prince almost missed seeing the sun tomorrow.
The emperor was furious because of this incident. Not only did he not make Concubine Liang a good concubine, but he demoted her by one level and became Concubine Yu.
Yu... is her last name.
The emperor seems to be extremely angry. He is not even prepared to give her a title. Those who directly use their surnames as concubines have historically been mostly those who have fallen out of favor but have children. The emperor can give her a concubine at will, so that the status of the princess and princes will be higher. Some.
From now on, there will only be Concubine Yu in the palace, not Concubine Liang.
Concubine Rong is half taller than Concubine Yu. After all, Concubine Rong has a serious title!
Everyone was thinking that the good concubine had been abducted. Among the four concubines, now only the concubine De was left alone.
Empress De Fei entered the palace early, has seniority, and a good reputation. Most importantly, she is the eldest prince in the palace and the biological mother of the third prince.
No matter from all aspects, it is the turn of Concubine De to take the position of Concubine Xian.
Even De Fei herself thinks so.
Today's Concubine De was dressed up for a rare occasion. There was a large red and white bougainvillea on her high bun. The variety was precious. She only used it for viewing on weekdays. She would feel distressed for a long time if a petal fell off. of.
At this moment, the spring breeze was so proud that I took it off and used it as a headdress.
"It's the right thing for a lady to dress up like this. I look so good at it."
Lu Yin looked at Concubine De as she stood by the water with a smile, and she couldn't help but feel excited: "Your Majesty, the good concubine is seeking her own death. This time, the Queen must make you a good concubine."
Concubine De, like Concubine Liang, is a staunch supporter of the queen. Although Concubine Liang always goes to war for the queen and wins the favor of the queen, she makes suggestions for the queen behind the scenes. She has worked hard for so many years without any credit.
The good concubine is useless, is it not her turn?
It turned out that it really wasn't her turn.
Less than two hours after Jiang Xinyue gave birth to the sixth prince, Wang Dequan brought the emperor's imperial edict to designate Jiang Xinyue as Concubine Zhenxian to the Sixth Palace.
"I really didn't expect that the emperor would actually make Concubine Zhen the first of the four concubines. She has only been in the palace for less than two years!"
"I have never seen any concubine promoted so quickly."
"Even if Concubine Yu commits a crime, there is still Concubine De, so it's not Concubine Zhen's turn anyway! Isn't this the emperor's nonsense?"
"Shh! Do you want to die? When these words reach Concubine Zhenxian's ears, are you going to kill us all?"
"My fault, my fault, I won't say it anymore..."
A beautiful blooming bougainvillea fell on the arch bridge of the creek and was crushed to pieces by an embroidered shoe. The flower juice dyed the sole of the embroidered shoe red like blood.
