Chapter 114 The Legend of Zhen Huan: An Lingrong 24
As for the reason, it is naturally because one of them looks similar to Consort Wan, but is a little more refined.
According to An Lingrong's investigation, this Consort Jin bears a striking resemblance to Empress Chun Yuan, and is the daughter of Empress Chun Yuan's elder brother. It is somewhat plausible that she is also her niece, Xiao Gu.
Originally, because there was an empress in the palace, the Ulanara family did not plan to send Consort Jin to the palace. After all, the Ulanara family was aware of the grudges between Rouze and Yixiu.
After Consort Jin enters the palace, the Empress will definitely be the first to take action against her, and the Empress Dowager is also aware of this.
Now that the Empress has passed away, the Ulanara family has considered sending her to the palace, since their sons are not up to par.
The Empress Dowager had intended for Consort Jin to meet the Emperor, but the Emperor declined. Fortunately, she still entered the palace.
As for Consort Shen, it was the Uya family who took the initiative to approach the Empress Dowager, and the Ulanara family produced two empresses thanks to the Empress Dowager's influence.
And they, as the real maternal family, have not even benefited from such great honor, how can they be content?
The Empress Dowager naturally agreed, which was also a way to have a backup plan.
"Oh dear, how come this young lady looks so much like Consort Wan?" Consort Qi covered her mouth and exclaimed coquettishly, her eyes darting around as if she wanted to see a good show.
Consort Jin was somewhat displeased and curtsied before retorting, "Your Highness, I do not resemble Consort Wan, but rather my aunt, Empress Chun Yuan."
Consort Li asked in surprise, "Does this mean that Consort Wan is similar to Empress Chun Yuan?"
Consort Qi glanced at Consort Wan with disdain. "Empress Chun Yuan was the Emperor's beloved. No wonder Consort Wan was so favored. It turns out it's because she looks like Empress Chun Yuan."
Consort Qi now enjoys the status of a Noble Consort and is the head of the four consorts. Apart from being respectful to An Lingrong, she is very arrogant in front of the others.
It's like he was suppressed by Consort Hua for a long time, and then suddenly rebounded.
An Lingrong scolded, "Alright, Empress Chun Yuan is Empress Chun Yuan, and Consort Wan is Consort Wan. This matter is not to be mentioned again, and it is even more forbidden to discuss it in private."
"Yes." The concubines quickly rose and respectfully responded.
The four noble ladies paid their respects to the imperial concubines and other ladies-in-waiting who held higher ranks than them.
All four are beauties: Consort Qi is charming and alluring, Consort Jin is elegant and refined, Consort Shen is gentle and quiet, and Consort Mu is bright and spirited.
After the greetings were completed, the matter of paying respects at Yongshou Palace eventually reached the Emperor's ears.
The Emperor also learned that Consort Jin resembled Empress Chun Yuan, so among the newly promoted concubines, Consort Jin was the first to serve him in bed.
The emperor's ten consecutive days of favored favor left the concubines in the harem both surprised and envious. Although the empress dowager was pleased, she still advised the emperor to visit other newly favored concubines.
Qingwu thought of Consort Jin, who was favored by the emperor, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Consort Jin is so favored and has the protection of Empress Chun Yuan. If she gives birth to a prince, it will definitely affect the three princes."
What Qingwu really wanted to say was that it would affect Prince Hongxu. Hongjing and Hongxi are twins who look alike and have no right to inherit the throne.
An Lingrong chuckled, slightly raising her chin, her eyes showing no worry, and confidently said, "It's alright. My children are no less capable than anyone else. They will grow even more with encouragement."
An Lingrong was always a loving mother. Her child was nourished by spiritual energy while in the womb and was naturally exceptionally intelligent. She would not allow her child to have multiple competitors.
After hearing that the Empress Dowager's two maternal families were going to send women into the palace, she had the system take action. From then on, any imperial offspring born to the concubines in the harem other than her would only be princesses.
