Kangxi then remembered that Qingqing had said before that she would announce the pregnancy after the full moon, which would be a way to save face for the Tenth Prince.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Put these things away for now, and send them over after the Tenth Prince's full moon celebration. Your Imperial Noble Consort doesn't want to steal the dignity of the Noble Consort and the Tenth Prince."
"Send the Consort's things over first, and at the same time draft an imperial edict to bestow the title of 'Consort Wenxi of Niohuru'."
Liang Jiugong replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will go and deliver the reward immediately."
Yongshou Palace
Is Consort Wenxi's head maid busy today? Besides the rewards just sent by the Imperial Noble Consort, there are also congratulatory gifts from the ladies of the various palaces.
All these things need to be registered, and we also need to be careful to check for anything inappropriate or harmful.
Although the princes haven't had any major incidents in recent years, one should always be cautious and conduct a thorough check.
When Liang Jiugong arrived, the head maidservant beside Consort Wenxi was busy running around, but she still had to immediately go up and put on a smiling face, after all, he was the chief eunuch of the imperial court.
"Eunuch Liang, what brings you here at this hour?" Although she saw what the eunuchs behind Liang Jiugong were carrying, she still had to greet them.
Liang Jiugong said, "Hey, we've come to deliver this reward on the Emperor's orders."
Liang Jiugong said, "It's inconvenient for the Imperial Concubine, so please accept this imperial edict on her behalf, young lady."
The head palace maid was overjoyed to hear this. If it were just a reward, a verbal order would suffice, but an imperial edict usually indicates a promotion. However, there was already an Imperial Noble Consort, so they couldn't very well establish an Empress. She wondered what the imperial edict would say.
After the entire large group of people knelt down, Liang Jiugong began to read the imperial edict.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: ……… ...
Liang Jiugong said, "Miss, accept the imperial decree."
When Consort Wenxi's head palace maid heard the contents of the imperial edict, she thought it was normal. Although she was happy at first, she knew that being made an imperial consort was out of the question.
The selection of an empress would never be so hasty. Unexpectedly, it was given a double-character title, making her the first in the harem to receive such a title. She would become the most powerful person after the Imperial Noble Consort, even surpassing Consort Jin.
The head palace maid of Consort Wenxi said, "This servant receives the imperial decree on behalf of Your Highness and thanks Your Majesty for your great favor."
After getting up, she quickly grabbed a purse and stuffed it into Liang Jiugong's arms, saying, "Thank you, Eunuch Liang. May you share in the joy."
People usually accept such purses, since it's a good thing, "Then our family will share in the Imperial Concubine's good fortune."
"Miss, please hurry up and get busy. There will be a lot of things to do these next few days. I'll head back to report now."
The head maid of Consort Wenxi said, "This servant will escort Eunuch Liang out."
………………………………………………………
The palaces are all well-informed. When they receive the rewards from Liang Jiugong, or even when they go to Yongshou Palace, they can't help but wonder what the rewards will be.
Chengqian Palace
"Consort Wenxi, a double-character title. My cousin really has his eye on her. I wonder if he'll have the good fortune to be with her. I hope he doesn't end up like her sister."
Seeing that her mistress was jealous again, Consort Jin's head maid felt a little tired. "Your Highness, don't worry. The Emperor's feelings for you are different. No matter what, you are still a Consort and have given birth to a prince. But you can't be promoted, so the only thing that matters is your title."
We must support this!
You absolutely must read it aloud! (?′ω`?)
(?????)?? Love you all, muah!
