The small-scale sealing of the six palaces allowed everyone to share in the joy while also diverting attention from the increasingly sharp conflict between mother and son.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor each took a step back. Consort Hui became Noble Consort Hui but had no power in the palace. Chen Yuwei became Imperial Noble Consort and took charge of the harem. Noble Consort Xian was just an observer who remained detached throughout the entire process.
Of the three newly formed powerhouses in the harem, Chen Yuwei is clearly the most dominant.
Thus began Chen Yuwei's era, which also attracted the hatred of the harem and even the Empress Dowager.
Starting from this year, Chen Yuwei became the leader of the concubines in the harem, beginning her daily life as an imperial concubine in name but empress in reality.
At the end of the year, Yonghuang, whose body was already exhausted, ended his young life.
Taking advantage of the time when Princess Irgen Gioro was giving birth, Consort Niohuru not only brought Irgen Gioro's son to her own bedside but also sent away Irgen Gioro, who had been bedridden since giving birth.
Now that Yonghuang is gone, his wife, Niohuru, in league with the Empress Dowager in the palace, not only successfully turned her adopted son into her own son, but also secured the title of heir apparent for her biological son.
Now he only needs to wait for his son to grow up and get married so he can inherit the title of Prince, which is much better than when his father was alive.
It's important to know that when Yonghuang was alive, he was always a bald prince with nothing. It wasn't until after he passed away that the emperor gave him the title of Prince.
According to the principle of succession by blood and one rank lower, the son of Consort Niohuru was granted the title of Prince of the Second Rank, which was more powerful than that of ordinary princes.
Consort Niohuru was overjoyed and felt none of the grief she had felt after her husband's death.
However, it was Consort Ulanara of the mansion who was extremely distressed, because the death of Yonghuang had the greatest impact on her and her son.
Now that the mansion is completely under the control of the Fujin (princess), what will become of her and her son in the future?
No one cared how Ulanara and her son were doing. After dealing with Yonghuang's matter, everyone turned their attention back to the harem.
However, with Chen Yuwei keeping order in the harem and employing various methods, things have remained calm and undisturbed for the time being.
Two years passed in this way, until good news came one after another from the harem, and Consort Ling, Consort Ning, Consort Qing, Consort Lin and others were overjoyed.
Hearing the news, Chen Yuwei felt a huge weight lifted from her heart; chaos was about to erupt again.
