Chapter 430 Promotion
On this point, inherently, the Queen has already lost! This is something she will never be able to catch up with or replace!
While feeling pleased and proud, Mi Fei's ambition was rekindled in her heart.
How can we give up such a huge benefit so easily?
She can't just give up like this!
She had been too self-righteous and underestimated her enemies. She simply thought her son was hers and no one could take him away, so she was fearless. But she had never imagined that the queen was so cunning and had set her up behind her back.
Not anymore.
She will get back what she lost bit by bit.
When the emperor and the empress arrived at Yonghe Palace, what they saw was the loving and filial scene between Concubine Mi and the eldest prince.
The emperor nodded secretly, feeling quite relieved.
Concubine Mi finally understood, which was good, as the prince wouldn't have to worry anymore.
As long as Concubine Mi behaves herself, the emperor will not stop the eldest prince from getting close to her.
If the eldest prince was a cold-blooded and heartless person towards his biological mother, he would be displeased.
The Queen's eyes met Concubine Mi's instantly, and the two women had a silent exchange of words.
The Queen calmly withdrew her gaze, without a ripple of emotion. However, Concubine Mi grew even more arrogant and complacent.
Seeing the prince being so close to her, the queen must be feeling uncomfortable, right? Oh, so what? The prince is her own son!
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother!"
"Stand up!"
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Father and Mother!"
The Queen smiled and nodded to the eldest prince, feeling a little better. The prince's attitude towards his mother remained unchanged, and it was clear from his eyes.
Mi Fei also pretended to stand up and salute: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I disturbed the Emperor and the Empress. It is my fault. I, my concubine, feel really sorry."
The Queen smiled and said, "Mi Fei, please don't get up. Just lie down and recuperate. There's nothing wrong with that. But remember not to be so easygoing in the future. If you feel unwell, call the Imperial Physician. Otherwise, what's the point of having the Imperial Hospital? Not only are you feeling unwell, but you're also making the Emperor, me, and my son worry!"
"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."
"Well, I'm glad you listened to me."
The Queen and Concubine Mi interacted with each other, smiling broadly. One was concerned and the other was grateful and shed tears. They lived in harmony and joy.
After chatting for a while, Empress Lu glanced at the emperor and suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it time for Concubine Mi's status to be raised?"
Concubine Mi was stunned, and the eldest prince was also stunned.
The Emperor was also a little surprised. He thought for a moment, then glanced at Empress Lu with satisfaction. He nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty is right. Consort Mi's status should be promoted. She should be promoted to Imperial Concubine on a chosen day. Empress, please arrange the enthronement."
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will have the Imperial Observatory calculate a good day soon, and I will ensure that the enthronement ceremony is carried out properly!" The Queen agreed with a smile. She glanced at Concubine Mi, who seemed to have not yet reacted, and said with a smile: "Concubine Mi, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you thank me quickly!"
Mi Fei: "."
"Yes! Thank you, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! I, your concubine, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
It was clearly a great thing, but it happened to be brought up by the Queen, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
But no matter how disgusted she was, she couldn't say a word, and had to express her gratitude and thanks.
Seeing the emperor looking at the queen with a look of satisfaction, and seeing his own son looking at the queen with gratitude and touching eyes, Concubine Mi - Concubine Mi felt even worse!
"No need to thank me, you should thank the Queen. I hope that in the future in this palace, you two will be of one mind and get along well with each other!" said the emperor with a smile.
Concubine Mi had no choice but to put on a smile and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey Your Majesty's orders. I will get along well with the Queen and obey her instructions."
"Hmm," the emperor nodded, feeling more satisfied. "I can see that you have changed a lot. This is a good thing."
Concubine Mi: “.”
She tried hard to put a smile on her face, unable to utter a word, and could only make an expression that said "I understand."
Empress Lu was secretly happy and made a few jokes to join in the fun.
For a time, Yonghe Palace was filled with joy.
After a while, the emperor and Empress Lu got up and left.
The Emperor was so busy with his affairs that his visit today wasn't to honor Concubine Mi, but simply to show some appreciation for the Crown Prince. The Empress didn't have any special ties to Concubine Mi; she was simply fulfilling her duties as the head of the household.
Both of them have a lot of things to do, so how can they have so much time to comfort Concubine Mi?
He waved his hand and smiled, "Noble Concubine Mi, please take a good rest. If your son is not busy with his studies, please stay and chat with Noble Concubine Mi."
The eldest prince was about to respond, but Concubine Mi smiled and said, "I dare not delay your studies. I will just take a break. Please go back, your Highness."
If she wasn't so clingy with the eldest prince, the emperor and empress would surely be very pleased, right? Concubine Mi thought smugly.
Furthermore, she was thoroughly fed up with the Empress today, and a simmering fire was burning inside her, ready to explode. If the eldest prince stayed, she would have to steel herself to deal with him—but he wasn't a truly filial son. Every word he spoke pierced her heart, and she was truly frightened and didn't want to hear him speak anymore.
It would be better to let him go quickly!
The light that had just lit up in the eldest prince's eyes quickly dimmed again, and he felt secretly disappointed.
"In that case, I will come to pay my respects to Concubine Mi another day."
"good."
Concubine Mi's mother and Concubine Mi felt even more congested.
The Queen nodded and smiled, "That's fine. By the way, if the Imperial Concubine is missing her family, she can summon her family members to the palace to chat with them. There's no need to stick to two or three times a month. More times is fine, too. We have to wait until the Imperial Concubine recovers from her illness before we can do that."
Concubine Mi was immediately overjoyed.
She glanced at the Emperor and, seeing that he had no intention of speaking to stop her, she quickly smiled and said, "Yes, I thank the Empress for her grace! Please rest assured, Empress, I will definitely not violate the palace rules."
The queen smiled and nodded slightly.
Concubine Mi was overjoyed. The Queen said that her family members could visit the palace at any time, but did not specify the deadline, so she naturally pretended not to know.
We’ll talk about it later when the Queen brings up the palace rules again.
She had no connections in the previous dynasty, and the only people she could rely on were her natal family. Unfortunately, this path was cut off by the queen, so that she now knew nothing about the outside world.
This is absolutely not possible.
Her family members can enter the palace freely again, which is very important to her!
