Yinzhen knew perfectly well what was going on and was happy to play along: "Consort Xian is so thoughtful!"
The princesses and their wives breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew why the Emperor had come today, and now that he was acting this way, it meant that he had let them go!
Yinzhen made a brief appearance, said a few words, and then left. After the emperor left, the imperial concubines, seeing the emperor's protective attitude towards Consort Xian, also took their leave.
They've really learned something new today!
Yunrong went back too!
After everyone had left, the Empress Dowager said thoughtfully, "It seems to me that the Emperor is really fond of Consort Xian! Consort Xian had just arrived, and the Emperor followed her right after, protecting her so closely!"
The Empress Dowager's trusted nanny said, "Why should Your Majesty concern yourself with such things? I have met Consort Xian myself; she is not an arrogant person. The Emperor will always favor those who are good, and Consort Xian is quite good!"
The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Who can argue with that! I just hope Consort Xian continues to behave herself!"
Consort Hui and Consort Rong, having received no reprimand from the Empress Dowager, looked rather unwell. They never expected the Empress Dowager to side with Consort Xian! This was their miscalculation!
Now that the Empress Dowager's approach is blocked, and they have been reprimanded by her, they can only superficially reflect on their actions and discipline the palace servants, while secretly hoping that their mothers can make Consort Xian suffer!
The two had just calmed themselves down, secretly hoping that Consort Xian would be impeached and unable to hold her head high! Then they received an imperial edict from the Emperor, saying that Consort Hui and Consort Rong were of noble status and that they were to transcribe scriptures to pray for the Empress Dowager! As for palace affairs, they were to put aside for the time being!
Therefore, Yinzhen specially selected Consort Duan and Consort An, who were not involved in this matter and were usually quite honest, and promoted them to higher ranks!
Consort Duan and Consort An, one in Consort Rong's Yanxi Palace and the other in Consort Hui's Zhongcui Palace! They were usually very inconspicuous, but now that they have risen to the rank of Consort, many people are envious!
Not only that, Yinzhen also entrusted palace affairs to the two of them!
The newly arrived Consort Duan and Consort An had little experience in palace affairs, so Yinzhen didn't need them to do anything. Having a title was enough; the tasks that needed to be done could be handled by the head eunuchs and nannies!
