Chapter 225 The Legend of Zhen Huan, Guarjia Wenyuan 24
"Alright, summon Consort Liu and Consort Gao into the hall," Guarjia Wenyuan said to the head eunuch behind her.
At the eunuch's summons, the two women entered the hall.
Consort Liu was gentle and graceful, while Consort Gao was bright and beautiful. Their appearances were not particularly outstanding, but they were of average appearance in the palace.
"Liu, a concubine of Yongshou Palace, greets the Imperial Noble Consort and all the elder sisters."
"Gao, a concubine of Yongshou Palace, greets the Imperial Noble Consort and all the elder sisters."
Since there were many empty palaces in the palace, Guarjia Wenyuan did not put them into any occupied palaces.
Anyway, she had asked both Xianfu Palace and Qixiang Palace, and they both thought it was better not to let people in.
However, since the two concubines, Guarjia Wenyuan, would not each be assigned a separate palace, they were both brought into Yongshou Palace together.
Yongshou Palace is right behind Yangxin Hall, so it's convenient for the emperor to go there and for him to summon people to Yangxin Hall for his nights.
"Rise, all of you. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Imperial Noble Consort."
Guarjia Wenyuan glanced at Jingran, who then introduced the various concubines to Consort Liu and Consort Gao.
Having recognized one of the familiar faces, Guarjia Wenyuan let everyone return to the palace.
Consort Jing did not leave, but followed Guarjia Wenyuan to her bedchamber, as she had the authority to assist in managing the six palaces.
However, Guarjia Wenyuan was in charge, so she reported on palace affairs every few days.
Consort Jing asked, "Your Highness, now that the Emperor has bestowed titles upon Consort Liu and Consort Gao, shouldn't they be allowed to enter the inner palace as normal?"
"Even if it's a normal entry, it's probably mostly new concubines who will be served in bed, since we old-timers know too much."
Guarjia Wenyuan smiled. Anyway, she had three sons, and as long as she didn't do anything reckless, her position as Imperial Noble Consort was very secure.
She couldn't guarantee she would become empress, but she was certain that the position would either be hers or the emperor wouldn't appoint another empress; in any case, it wouldn't fall into someone else's hands.
"Yes." Consort Jing sighed. Too many things have happened this year, which is really frustrating. "Princess Lingxi and Princess Xuepo, who were raised by the Dowager Consorts, have passed away."
"Something I expected."
The existence of those two children serves as a constant reminder to the Emperor that he has been betrayed by Prince Guo and Zhen Huan, and how could he possibly keep them alive?
Of the two newly promoted consorts, Liu was more favored and was promoted to Liu Changzai before the general election.
Among the princes, the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince had all reached the age to choose their consorts, so the Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Consort Yu also returned to the palace for this grand selection.
After returning to the palace, Consort Yu and the Fifth Prince rested at Yonghe Palace before coming to Chuxiu Palace to pay their respects.
Consort Jing and Consort Duan were also with Guarjia Wenyuan, bringing Princess Wenyi and Princess Jinghe with them. The two princesses were currently playing with the three princes, Hongxi, Hongjing, and Hongmin, in the East Annex Hall.
Their main target was Hongxi, and they wanted the princess to get along well with Prince Hongxi, since Hongxi was currently the most likely candidate to ascend to that position.
Neither of them wanted their children to marry far away to Mongolia. They wanted to cultivate good relations with the future emperor and empress dowager, which would be good for the future of their two children.
"Your Majesty, I wish the Imperial Noble Consort a good day. I respectfully wish the Noble Consort a good
Consort Yu and Consort Duan were of equal rank, and they exchanged courtesies.
"Your subject greets the Imperial Noble Consort, the Respectful Noble Consort, and the Duan Consort."
"Jingtai, please take a seat." After giving the order, she looked at Consort Yu and the Fifth Prince, and said with a smile, "You must be tired from your journey. I had someone tell you that you don't need to come to Chuxiu Palace today. Why are you in such a hurry to pay your respects?"
