Fu Tong'er exchanged a glance with Qiao'er, who knelt with her, and finally kowtowed, saying, "Please, Concubine Shu, rescue me from the palace. I don't want to be a concubine."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the Phoenix Palace: "The auspicious time has arrived. His Majesty has ordered that Consort Xian go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to receive the Imperial Consort's Phoenix Seal and receive the Imperial Consort's seal."
Fu Tong'er looked at the door in panic.
Then he lowered his head and covered his lower abdomen...
Among them are Jiu Ye’s two children.
"Empress Shu!" Fu Tong'er kowtowed again, "Please save me from the palace. I am pregnant with your two grandchildren."
Concubine Shu was stunned by the last sentence.
She helped Fu Tong'er up, and Qiao'er also stood up.
"Lu Jin said that he has made all the arrangements. I believe he has also taken into account today's ceremony to crown a concubine. You go first. Lu Jin will definitely not let the ceremony be completed. I also want to go back to the mansion to see how he is now."
As he said that, he stood up, came down, and stroked Fu Tong'er's lower abdomen.
"Your reaction to this pregnancy is too intense," said Concubine Shu. "It's the same as when I was pregnant with Lu Jin, but even more severe. You're already experiencing morning sickness after just over half a month. I guess it's two boys. But Lu Jin has said many times that he wants a daughter..."
Concubine Shu smiled faintly: "The road ahead is still long. We can talk again after you can give birth safely."
"Yes." Fu Tong'er lowered her eyes.
Concubine Shu didn't say much and was helped out of the Fenghuang Palace by the nanny.
After Fu Tong'er wiped her tears, Qiao'er put on some makeup for her and finally helped her out of the Fenghuang Palace.
The imperial concubine's sedan chair was already waiting outside the palace.
The one who came to pick him up was Xiao Changzi, who was by Emperor Jing's side.
"Noble Concubine Xian, His Majesty has ordered you to go slowly and not in a hurry."
Qiao'er helped Fu Tong'er onto the sedan chair.
Xiao Changzi shouted loudly: "The Imperial Concubine, please come."
Fu Tong'er was sitting in the sedan chair with Emperor Jing's yellow silk umbrella on her head.
Therefore, it cannot be exposed to the sun.
She lazily leaned on the armrest and said to Qiao'er as she walked by: "Qiao'er, why didn't I see King Hui today? Didn't he know I was going to appoint a concubine? And he didn't even come forward to stop me. This is not like him."
Qiao'er whispered to Xiao Changzi, warning her, "I met Prince Hui this morning and left the palace in such a hurry I don't know why. My lady, your majesty, Master Jiu can no longer protect you. You must be more cautious."
"I believe he has made arrangements." Fu Tong'er thought of Jiu Ye's tall and strong body, and she couldn't help but be drawn into it.
Arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Qiao'er helped Fu Tong'er down, dragging the imperial concubine's cloak behind her, exuding an overwhelming phoenix-like aura!
Dozens of palace maids followed.
Emperor Jingdi sat in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
All the civil and military officials and ministers stood in the hall.
Xiao Changzi, representing Emperor Jing, followed Fu Tong'er and before he even entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he shouted, "Noble Consort Xian is here!"
All the civil and military officials turned their heads!
There was a lot of discussion.
"Isn't this Princess Hui?"
"Yes, Princess Hui, your Majesty's daughter-in-law..."
"How did you become a concubine?"
"yes,"
"Your Majesty, how can you be a king if you disregard human ethics?"
Qiao'er supported Fu Tong'er and walked towards the center of the hall.
Emperor Jing stood under the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor was so proud!
Holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, he looks majestic.
He smiled, walked down, and came to greet her personally: "I am here." He held out his hand, "Give me your hand."
Qiao'er let go of Fu Tong'er and stepped behind her.
Emperor Jing took Fu Tong'er's hand and walked up to the imperial throne.
Xiao Changzi held the imperial edict and quickly walked up the stairs.
He unfolded it and read: "By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Madam Fu, virtuous and wise, respectful and self-disciplined, was originally given the title of Noble Consort Xian. However, I find 'Xian' too gentle, so I order it to be changed to 'Chen'. From today on, she will be given the title of Noble Consort Chen. Furthermore, because Empress Manggutai is ill, Noble Consort Chen will hold the Phoenix Seal and hold the same rank as the Vice Empress. I decree this!"
"Your Majesty! No!"
