Chapter 584: Double Happiness for the Liang Family
Upon hearing this, Concubine De's mind moved slightly, and she spoke gently on the surface.
"Please tell His Majesty that I will not disappoint His Majesty and will manage the harem with all my heart and will not cause any trouble to His Majesty."
Zhao Ping smiled and spoke upon hearing this.
"You're welcome, Your Majesty."
Then he looked at Concubine An.
He signaled the young eunuch behind him to hand over the imperial edict.
"Lady An, the Emperor has an imperial decree for you. Please accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine An glanced at Concubine De and quickly knelt down.
"I accept your order."
Zhao Ping then read out.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares that Consort An is diligent and docile, docile and pure, of a gentle disposition, a virtuous woman, and a model of virtue. She is hereby granted the title of Consort An. This is my decree."
In just a few months, Liang Ruxia was promoted from a small talent to a noble lady, and now to Concubine An. She hurriedly took the imperial edict with both hands.
"I, your humble servant, accept your order and kowtow to thank you for your long life, long live the emperor."
Zhao Ping placed the imperial edict in Concubine An's hand and looked at Concubine De.
"The Imperial Concubine has other great things to celebrate. After tomorrow's morning court session, I believe His Royal Highness the Second Prince will also come to share the Imperial Concubine's joy."
"I have to go somewhere else to deliver an imperial decree, so I'll take my leave now."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De hurriedly signaled the maidservant around her to give a reward.
"Then I won't waste your time and trouble you to make the trip."
Wait for Zhao Ping to leave.
Liang Ruxia couldn't wait to speak.
"I would like to congratulate you, Aunt. You are now a Noble Consort and hold the Phoenix Seal. It is inevitable that you will become an Imperial Noble Consort or even Empress in the future."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De spoke hurriedly.
"Don't talk nonsense. The honor and favor in this harem all depends on the emperor's will. The emperor has given me such an honor, so I will manage the harem well for the emperor. As for other things that are beyond my control, I will not think about them either."
Although he spoke humbly, he couldn't stop smiling with joy on his face.
He looked at Liang Ruxia.
"Your aunt should also congratulate you. You've only been in the palace for a few months and you've already been promoted to the rank of concubine. Even greater glory and wealth await you in the future. You must serve the Emperor well. Your aunt is old and can only help manage the Emperor's harem. You must work harder to expand the Emperor's family."
Liang Ruxia giggled when she heard this.
"My aunt is not old at all. If it weren't for my aunt's generation, people would think we were sisters at first glance."
The two were chatting happily.
Suddenly a voice sounded.
"What are mother and Noble Lady An talking about? They look so happy."
Upon seeing this, Concubine An bowed hurriedly.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Jun Moyong first saluted Concubine De.
"Your son greets your mother."
Then he gave Concubine An a return gift.
"Hello, Lady An."
Liang Ruxia spoke with a smile.
"Your Highness the Second Prince has arrived just in time. Your aunt has a great news to share with you, so I won't bother you any more."
Then he took Fuling away.
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong's eyes flashed with curiosity and anticipation, and he asked respectfully.
"Mother, what good news makes you so happy?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine De smiled and spoke.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk over tea."
Then the mother and son entered the hall.
Concubine De gently unfolded the imperial edict in her hand, and her smile became even brighter.
"Ayong, the Emperor has just issued an edict, conferring upon me the title of First Rank Noble Consort, and granting me the Golden Seal and the Golden Book, allowing me to take charge of the Phoenix Seal and manage the affairs of the six palaces. In addition, he has also conferred upon Noble An the title of Concubine An. It is a double blessing for our Liang family."
When Jun Moyong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he knelt down to salute.
"Congratulations, mother, on your promotion to the rank of Imperial Concubine. I am extremely proud of you."
Concubine De quickly helped Jun Moyong up, her eyes full of love.
"Yong'er, I appreciate your kindness. But you must remember, this is not just my honor, but the honor of our entire family. You must work harder to bring honor to me and the Liang family."
Jun Moyong nodded, a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, mother. I will live up to your expectations and gain a firm foothold in the court, helping you solve your problems."
Concubine De nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and her tone became serious.
"Yong'er, now that the Crown Prince has been deposed and the court is in turmoil, you, as a prince, must act with caution. Although Mother is in charge of the six harems, you still need to maneuver around the court to consolidate our power."
Jun Moyong nodded in agreement.
"I understand what Mother taught me. However, although the Crown Prince has been deposed, his followers are still there. We must proceed cautiously and not underestimate the enemy."
Concubine De nodded slightly and said after pondering for a moment.
"You are right. However, although the Hua family has fallen, the forces behind them are complex and intricate, and we need to eliminate them one by one. At the same time, we must actively win over those ministers who are neutral or have a favorable impression of us to strengthen our power. However, you must be careful during this period. The matter of the crown prince has just been resolved. You must not rush into winning over the court officials, and you must not let your father notice his dislike."
When Jun Moyong heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Mother is indeed a foresighted person. I am ashamed of myself. In the short term, I will openly maintain a certain distance from all the ministers."
The mother and son sat down and Nanny He brought them some hot tea.
Jun Moyong looked at Concubine De and spoke.
"Mother, I came here today because I have a question in my mind. I have pondered it for three days but could not find the answer. So I came here to hear your opinion."
Upon hearing this, Defei spoke in confusion.
"What kind of thing is it? How could it embarrass Yong'er, my concubine? Tell me quickly for Mother to hear."
Jun Moyong spoke slowly after hearing this.
"I just went to the Bai residence."
Upon hearing this, Defei spoke.
"You are where you are today thanks to your cousin's help. You should go and thank him."
Jun Moyong nodded upon hearing this.
"The matter of the deposed crown prince was resolved thanks to my cousin. However, before, my cousin clearly said that Baise City was unwilling to belong to Tianyuan because the deposed crown prince was unkind. Now that the crown prince has been deposed, I tried to test his intentions today, but my cousin declined."
