Chapter 93 Promotion
Wen Li'er naturally didn't dare to get really angry with the prince.
With her personality, she rarely gets angry, and most of the time she's just pretending.
Just then, Nanny Qin came in to ask the prince for instructions.
"Your Highness, would you like to move to the dining hall for dinner, or should I have the food brought here?"
Wen Li'er is not in a convenient position right now, so she naturally has to eat in the bedroom.
Yan Shixu said, "Send it in."
"yes."
Soon, a group of palace servants brought the prince's meals to Wen Li'er's bedroom.
Women in confinement have many dietary restrictions, so Wen Li'er's meals are naturally very different from Yan Shixu's.
She lowered her eyes to glance at the food on the small table in front of her, then looked up at the delicious food in front of the prince, and her eyes instantly glowed green.
The food in front of me no longer smells good.
When Yan Shixu saw her like this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he sat down beside the bed, blocking her view.
"I'll feed you."
As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of red date and lotus seed porridge on the small table and wanted to feed her himself.
Wen Li'er blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I will eat by myself."
"Open your mouth." Yan Shixu insisted.
Wen Li'er could only blush in embarrassment and open her mouth obediently.
Originally, she thought the food was not delicious.
But after the prince fed her, Wen Li'er suddenly felt that these light meals were so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue.
One feeds the baby one spoonful at a time, and the other eats it with a grunt.
The way the two get along seems extremely harmonious.
After feeding Wen Li'er, Yan Shixu began to eat.
He still had some official duties to deal with in the afternoon and could not stay in Qionghua Palace for long.
But before leaving, he reminded Wen Li'er to wait for the order.
Wen Lier guessed that she was probably going to be promoted.
When I told Nanny Qin about it, she felt the same way.
After all, the master gave birth to a royal grandson, which was a great contribution to the royal family.
She immediately notified the palace servants in Qionghua Palace to prepare to receive the imperial edict.
The palace servants were whispering to each other, guessing what rank their master would be promoted to.
Almost everyone guessed that it was the fifth rank Chenghui.
Fengyi is the ninth rank, and above him is Zhaoxun, the seventh rank.
If the master was just a favorite concubine, she would most likely be given the title of Zhao Xun.
But now that the master has given birth to His Highness's first child, the royal family's first grandson, Zhao Xun's position seems a little lower.
So, it must be Chenghui!
Because of this, Wan'an and Wanquan secretly acted as bankers and let several palace maids in the palace place bets.
Of course, they were just joking in the Qionghua Palace and would not dare to be so blatant outside.
Nanny Qin glanced at the excited palace maids below, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
Based on the master's family background, it is probably not possible for her to be a concubine.
Even if the prince insisted, the queen mother would never agree.
But she can still be a good lady of the fourth rank.
It is not impossible for her to be a third-rank Liangdi.
After all, she saw how much His Highness doted on the master.
Wen Li'er had no idea what the palace maids in her palace were thinking as they eagerly waited for the imperial edict.
After she finished her lunch, she fell asleep again.
I slept until the early afternoon, and was woken up by Qingzhu in a daze.
"Master, wake up, the imperial edict has arrived."
Qingzhu has always been calm, but at this moment, there was some obvious excitement and excitement in his voice.
When Wen Li'er heard that the imperial edict had arrived, she quickly came to her senses.
With Qingzhu's support, he sat at the head of the bed to receive the order.
As soon as Wen Li'er sat down, she heard the eunuch's shrill voice coming from outside the hall.
"The imperial edict has arrived—Wen Fengyi of Qionghua Palace receives it!"
Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, and Wen Li'er also lowered her head slightly.
Although she was unable to get out of bed due to confinement, she maintained a respectful attitude.
Nanny Qin and Qingzhu Qingmei knelt on both sides of the bed, their expressions respectful and solemn.
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict walked slowly into the bedroom, holding a bright yellow imperial edict.
He glanced at everyone and finally landed on Wen Li'er.
Then he cleared his throat and read aloud:
"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Wen family of Qionghua Palace is gentle, virtuous, and virtuous. They have given birth to the Emperor's grandson and have made great contributions to the nation. I am deeply pleased and hereby promote them to the rank of Third Rank Liangdi as a token of my appreciation. I decree this!"
As the eunuch announcing the imperial decree finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.
After a moment, there were bursts of exclamations.
Wen Li'er was also slightly stunned and felt a little confused.
Although she had guessed that she would be promoted, she did not expect that she would jump from the ninth rank Fengyi to the third rank Liangdi.
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict closed the imperial edict and stepped forward with a smile.
"Dear Wen Liangdi, please accept the order."
Wen Li'er quickly raised her hand to take the imperial edict and said respectfully, "I thank your majesty for your grace. Long live the emperor!"
The eunuch who announced the decree nodded and added, "Dear Concubine Wen, His Majesty has also specially gifted you with gold, silver, jewelry, silks, and satins, which will be delivered by the Imperial Household Department later. You should rest well and do not let His Majesty down."
Wen Li'er thanked him again, and Nanny Qin took the opportunity to stuff a bulging purse into the hands of the eunuch who announced the decree.
He nodded with a smile, then left the hall with satisfaction.
As soon as the eunuch who announced the decree took his men away, the hall suddenly became lively.
Wan'an and Wanquan looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement.
Although they bet on the wrong position of their master and lost some money.
But the master was promoted to Consort Liang, which is a great joy!
Wan An approached Wen Li'er with a grin and complimented her, "Master, you are truly the lucky star of our Qionghua Palace! Now our future will be even more glorious!"
Nanny Qin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who says it's not true? The master is proud, and naturally the salaries of us palace servants will rise as well."
Wen Li'er smiled slightly, but felt a little emotional in her heart.
When she first entered the Eastern Palace, she was so frightened that she fell ill, and she was worried about how she would survive in the Eastern Palace.
However, I never thought that I would have the honor and favor I have today, let alone that I would be promoted for giving birth to an imperial grandson.
All this really seems like a dream.
Nanny Qin stepped forward and soothed her, "Master, you are now a Consort, and your status is different from before. You must be more cautious in your actions in the future. This old servant will take care of everything for you for the time being, so you can rest assured and recuperate."
Wen Li'er nodded, feeling grateful towards Nanny Qin.
She knew that her current situation was inseparable from Nanny Qin's careful teaching and care.
In the evening.
After finishing his official business, Yan Shixu asked Yongtai who was standing beside him.
"Have all the rewards from the Wen Mansion been delivered?"
Yongtai bowed and said, "Your Highness, Weiwei Zhang has already gone to see him off. He has done as Your Highness instructed and is keeping a low profile, trying not to be discovered."
Yan Shixu nodded: "Well done. Remember to have Minister Wen write a letter home to Concubine Liang."
"yes."
