Chapter Seventeen: The Legend of Zhen Huan - Fang Jiachunyi 17
I didn't dwell on it too much, since it wasn't up to her to decide when she would go back anyway.
The two babies were sleeping at the moment. Fang Jiachun took a look and then had someone take them back.
Consort Xin also returned to the East Annex. After all, Fang Jiachunyi had just given birth and needed to rest more, so she did not stay for too long.
Students in Henan boycotted their exams, and the emperor toured Henan.
On the third day of the third lunar month, the Empress invited all the concubines to admire the flowers.
Even without Consort An, Songzi still managed to scratch Consort Wan, and Consort Tian suffered a miscarriage after being knocked down.
That's right. It was the Empress who hinted at it to Consort An. Consort An was just an executor; even without her, someone else would have taken action.
Upon learning of Consort Tian's miscarriage and Noble Lady Wan's pregnancy, the Emperor hurriedly returned to the capital.
After visiting Consort Tian in Yanxi Palace, the Emperor went to Suiyu Pavilion, where Consort Wan was promoted to Consort Wan because she was pregnant.
The Emperor held a grand celebration for Hongxu and Jingshu's full moon celebration, as they were indeed auspicious twins.
People in ancient times were superstitious. The emperor felt that this was a blessing from heaven and an affirmation of him. Even the Imperial Observatory said so.
After all, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau sometimes spoke kindly, trying to guess the Emperor's intentions.
With the birth of twins, rumors began to circulate that the emperor was the true Son of Heaven, chosen by Heaven.
The rumors that the emperor's ascension to the throne was illegitimate, which had been spread by others, completely disappeared, making the emperor love Hongxu and Jingshu even more.
Fang Jiachun was quite satisfied with this, and the new rumors were naturally guided by the system.
Although Fang Jia's people could handle such a minor matter, it wouldn't be good if the emperor found out.
The emperor would think that the Fangjia clan had already begun plotting against his throne, even though he had just been born with the blood of the Fangjia clan.
Therefore, using the system is better and safer.
The benefits were also obvious: Aunt Xue Liu took care of Hong Xu and Jing Shu from then on, but of course, she only took care of the children.
After all, the death of a child is not a good omen.
Consort Wan's grand birthday banquet, since she had just held a full-month celebration for her twins, couldn't be too extravagant, so she gave the money to Butterfly.
Of course, this time the Emperor did not have the idea of holding a grand celebration for Consort Wan.
Although the Emperor was happy that Consort Wan, who was a substitute for Chun Yuan, was pregnant, it was still not as good as the twins Hong Xu and Jing Shu.
Yikun Palace —
"The war in the southwest has been won, and I have been promoted to Imperial Concubine because of my brother. Why should that vile Consort Ru be promoted as well!"
The beautiful and elegant woman pushed aside the pastries, her favorite crab roe pastry, but she couldn't eat a single bite because she was so angry.
"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. Consort Ru was promoted only because of Prince Hongxu and Princess Jingshu. During her childbirth, it was obvious to everyone that the Emperor intended to promote Consort Ru, but the Empress Dowager stopped him."
Although I have been promoted, it is only because of your influence. The imperial decree was issued a step later than yours, and besides, the Emperor has returned the power to assist in managing the six palaces to the Empress.”
Songzhi stood by and gently comforted her.
"The Empress and the Empress Dowager are really something. Since they stopped it back then, why didn't they stop it this time? Now I have to sit on equal footing with Consort Ru."
By the way, since they were able to stop Consort Ru's promotion, they can definitely stop mine as well. The Imperial Household Department sent over the auspicious robes of the Imperial Noble Consort.
Although His Majesty said it was a mistake, how could the Imperial Household Department make such a mistake? Besides, why did they not mention this earlier or later, but only after the imperial edict arrived? It must have been blocked!”
Consort Hua's tone grew increasingly certain as she spoke, convinced that the Emperor had been persuaded by the Empress Dowager and the Empress to claim that the auspicious robes had been sent by the Imperial Household Department in error!
If the wrong auspicious clothes were indeed sent, and such a serious mistake was made, why was no one from the Imperial Household Department punished?
