After this turmoil, the atmosphere in the harem became somewhat depressing and everyone felt insecure.
The queen was trimming the potted plants and seemed to be unaffected by anything, neither sad nor happy.
The nanny whispered, "Empress, one of the four concubines has been vacated. I wonder who will take up the position next?"
"Concubine Qi was lucky. She became pregnant with the heir of the emperor, and rose to a position she had never dared to imagine before."
The Queen said slowly, "Yes, Concubine Qi is lucky."
“No matter who comes up, the new ones laugh and the old ones cry.”
The nanny was stunned and then wanted to comfort the queen.
Then the Queen continued, "What does this have to do with me?"
"The four concubines can be rotated, and anyone can sit on the throne, but there is only one queen."
"As long as the Situ family learns from the mistakes of the Qiao and Li families and behaves themselves, and as long as the Crown Prince works diligently for the people and lives up to His Majesty's high expectations, I will forever be the Empress and the Master of this Harem."
Princess Yongjia's Mansion in the east of the city.
"Wei Shuyang, you are so brave that you dare to stop me. Get out of here." Princess Yongjia was angry and annoyed. She waved the whip in her hand and hit the prince consort hard.
The prince consort stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Your Highness, calm down. What's the point of you coming to the palace to plead with His Majesty?"
"His Majesty has made up his mind. Doing this will only make His Majesty vent his anger on you, and he will punish you as well."
Princess Yongjia slapped her husband's face hard, "You are a coward, a wimp, you only care about your own wealth."
"That's, that's my princess's mother!"
She raised her hand to hit the prince consort in the face, but felt pain in her wrist.
The prince consort held her wrist with one hand and raised his other hand to slap her, "Don't be stupid."
Princess Yongjia covered her face tightly, her eyes bloodshot, "You, you dare to hit me?"
"This princess will tell my father and have you sentenced to death!"
The prince consort pushed her away.
Princess Yongjia staggered and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
The prince consort seemed to have completely shed his disguise. He looked down at her condescendingly and said coldly, "Your Highness, go ahead and file a complaint. At this critical juncture, if you make a scene, you will only incur His Majesty's dislike. You will then bear the consequences yourself."
Princess Yongjia swallowed hard, as if all her strength had been drained away and she could no longer make a fuss.
Being a princess doesn't seem to be a big deal, does it?
Without her father's favor, she would be nothing.
In a blink of an eye, after dealing with the Li family, Emperor Jinde held a ceremony to confer the title of princess on the emperor in the palace.
In front of princes, nobles, civil and military officials.
Eunuch Cao stepped forward and read the inscription: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Xie Qingyao, with her virtuous heart and delicate demeanor, a spirit of pure spirit, and both virtuous and beautiful appearance, has saved the people of Fuzhou from the epidemic, and her merits and virtues are outstanding. She is truly a role model for women across the country."
"Today, I hereby confer upon her the title of Princess Qixia. I decree this!"
Xie Qingyao took the document and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
At this moment, everyone was shocked beyond words.
It happened too fast. In just a short period of time, Xie Qingyao was promoted from a county lady to a princess. She was favored and became the most popular lady.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked solemn. He did not want to see Xie Qingyao and Marquis Anguo gaining such power.
Prince Kang's eyes darkened, and he immediately stepped forward, saying with a gentle smile, "Congratulations to the Marquis' wife on receiving this honor. From now on, you will be the Princess of Qixia."
