Chapter 124 Promotion to Zhaoyi

Xie Chen said calmly, “Don’t worry about her.”

After the Queen reprimanded Lin Zhaorong, she probably would not feel dissatisfied, but would feel fortunate instead.

Pei Tingyue pondered his words secretly and slowly felt relieved.

The emperor loves himself.

The matter of promoting her to Zhaoyi must have been carefully considered.

Although she didn't understand why Lin Zhaorong was not promoted, since the emperor said not to worry about it, she didn't have to worry.

While she was silent, Xie Chen quietly sat over again and nodded: "Zhaoyi is a third-rank official, you can live in the main hall of the first palace, but you are pregnant, so it is not suitable for you to be tired. You should live in Changle Palace first, and move to the new palace after Xiaoyue is over."

It was estimated that by then, Song Lingyun, the traitor, would not be able to stay for long, so she could move to the main hall.

Changle is a good name, and he hopes she will live a long and happy life.

"Okay." Pei Tingyue readily agreed. "I already have enough servants around me. I don't need anyone new to serve me. Let's wait until I'm closer to giving birth."

"good."

As she spoke, Pei Tingyue realized that this person was almost sticking to her. She frowned and asked, "Why are you so close to me?"

Xie Chen changed the subject in time: "I have a headache, but I don't have the energy to rub it."

Pei Tingyue didn't indulge him: "Then I'll call Chief Steward Liang."

Xie Chen frowned tightly, looking very uncomfortable. "He has a strong grip. I don't want it."

Pei Tingyue thought about it.

Now that she has obtained the position of Zhaoyi, it would be okay to give her some benefits. Otherwise, what if she becomes discouraged?

She raised her arm and slowly pressed it on his temples.

"Is this the place?"

Xie Chen tried his best to suppress the curve of his lips.

His Tingyue is still soft-hearted towards him, which means she still has him in her heart.

"Um."

Pei Tingyue rubbed his skin for a while, and then someone grabbed his hand and kissed it.

Xie Chen said softly, "Thank you for the gift."

Pei Tingyue noticed that he was becoming more and more shameless. She pulled her hand back and turned to walk out of the palace. "I think it would be better for His Majesty to take medicine for his headache. I will go and urge the palace servants to make the medicine."

Xie Chen: “…”

He reflected on it and decided to control himself next time.

Pei Tingyue spent the next few days in Chengming Palace.

The emperor is easy to serve, all you have to do is feed him medicine.

Pei Tingyue didn't know what he was trying to do. He could clearly finish the medicine in one go, but he insisted on feeding her spoonful by spoonful, and then he pestered her for candied fruit.

"bitter."

Sure enough, after drinking the medicine this time, he said it was bitter again.

Pei Tingyue was used to it and said nothing. She picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth.

Who knew that this person would secretly bite her fingertips.

Pei Tingyue exclaimed and suddenly pulled his hand back.

Xie Chen looked innocent: "What's wrong?"

Pei Tingyue blushed and remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a word. She could only glare at him hatefully.

Xie Chen didn't care about her disrespect, and even thought she was very cute.

He swallowed the sweet candied fruit in his mouth.

He actually didn't like to eat this thing, he just wanted her to feed him.

"Tingyue looks like you want to slap me again?"

Pei Tingyue didn't expect him to bring this up and thought he was going to settle the score.

Although she made an excuse that it happened in her sleep, if he insisted on pursuing the matter, she would end up in a miserable situation.

Her eyes wandered as she explained, "That time I was not sober."

Xie Chen said softly, "Even if you are not sober, I cannot fight you. I am the Son of Heaven.

Pei Tingyue originally wanted to explain, but when she saw his calm expression, she immediately realized that this man was teasing her.

"Then how will Your Majesty punish me? Do you want me to slap Your Majesty again?"

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tingyue is addicted to beating?"

It feels pretty good.

Pei Tingyue didn't dare to say this.

Her eyes flashed, and her tone became firm, "Since the emperor is questioning me, I will also ask for something from the emperor."

"What?"

Pei Tingyue held out her palm: "I kissed the emperor, please come back!"

Xie Chen looked at her, his Adam's apple moving slightly, "Then can I kiss you back?"

Although she talked to him these past few days, she didn't allow him to touch her, hold hands, or kiss her. She even created a Chu River and Han River boundary on the dragon bed at night.

He looked at her, but couldn't touch or kiss her, and felt really suffocated and uncomfortable.

Pei Tingyue laughed angrily, turned around and left.

Xie Chen suppressed the longing in his eyes and looked at her receding figure, feeling that the road ahead was long.

After noon, Queen Mother Qin arrived.

"Is the Emperor well?"

Xie Chen took a sip of tea and said, "With Concubine Pei's care, I am much better now."

Queen Mother Qin looked at Pei Tingyue who was sitting beside her with a kind smile on her face, "Jieyu Pei, you have worked hard these days."

Pei Tingyue said it very nicely: "This is my duty as a concubine."

Queen Mother Qin praised her a few words and then asked, "Who is the imperial physician who is in charge of your health?"

"Ningyuan Judge."

"President Ning is an experienced judge." Queen Mother Qin nodded. "Did he determine the gender of Concubine Pei's baby?"

Pei Tingyue shook her head: "Not really. I think the prince is good, and the princess is also good."

Xie Chen added, "I don't have a princess, but I hope Concubine Pei's baby is a princess."

As beautiful as his Tingyue.

The Queen Mother Qin did not agree with this.

In her heart, she still wanted a little grandson. After all, Concubine Pei's pregnancy was different.

But she couldn't say it too obviously, so she just said, "Pei Jieyu's belly looks pointed, just like when I was pregnant with the emperor."

Pei Tingyue smiled faintly: "The Empress Dowager's profound blessings are incomparable to mine. Whether it's a prince or a princess, I will do my best to be a good mother."

Queen Mother Qin smiled with satisfaction, glanced at Xie Chen, and slowly said, "I know you are a responsible person. You are pregnant, but the Emperor didn't promote you. Now you have been working so hard these days. It would be unreasonable not to promote you again. When I return, I will issue an edict to promote you to Zhaoyi, the head of the Nine Concubines."

Pei Tingyue quickly stood up and thanked her: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for your grace."

This position of master is hard-earned.

It can be said that she had planned this with great difficulty.

For a moment, Pei Tingyue was filled with emotion.

"Good boy, get up."

Queen Mother Qin held Pei Tingyue and talked for a long time before leaving Chengming Palace.

After everyone left, Xie Chen patiently explained,

"Promoting to Zhaoyi is different from promoting to a lower position. It requires a formal ceremony of conferring the title. A few days ago, I instructed the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make Zhaoyi's clothing for you. When it is sent back, you can try it on. If there is anything that does not fit, send it back for them to modify."

"The enthronement ceremony should be scheduled for the first day of November. That day is a good day. You just need to go to Chengming Hall under the guidance of a palace servant and then pay your respects to the Queen. The enthronement ceremony will be over."
