"yes."
Although Emperor Kangxi was completely baffled by the Empress Dowager's straightforwardness, he was still pleased.
Regardless, it is excellent that the Empress Dowager made her stance clear today in front of the concubines and members of the royal family.
After a moment of contemplation, Kangxi raised his voice and spoke.
"Liang Jiugong, convey my decree: Consort Hui has long resided in the palace, assisting in the administration of the inner court. Now, by the grace of the Empress Dowager, she is hereby conferred the title of Consort Hui."
"Consort Zhi, of the Yehenara clan, has rendered meritorious service in producing an heir to the throne and is hereby registered as Consort Zhi."
"Noble Lady Lan, of the Yehenara clan, comes from a distinguished family and is exceptionally beautiful. She is hereby granted the title of Consort Lan and moved to Xianfu Palace."
"The noblewoman, surnamed Wei, was bestowed the title 'Liang'."
Xu Lejin remained calm and composed, while Consort Wen's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, wearing a gentle smile, and softly congratulated Consort Hui on her promotion to the rank of Imperial Concubine.
Consort Hui, Consort Zhi, and Consort Lan could not hide their joy.
Consort Liang lowered her head slightly, sighing inwardly that she was ultimately born into a less privileged background. Therefore, even though she had given birth to a prince and had the Empress Dowager to rely on, she was not promoted to the rank of Consort and only received a title.
Xu Lejin raised her wine cup, looked at Consort Hui, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Consort Hui, on your promotion to the rank of Consort."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Consort Hui drank the wine in her cup to the brim, and then her eyes met Consort Wen's unintentionally, and the two smiled at each other.
Consort Lan had no children, but she was granted the title of Consort and received an imperial edict from Emperor Kangxi to move to Xianfu Palace.
Xianfu Palace only had a few concubines and ladies-in-waiting. Consort Lan used to be the head of the palace.
Consort Lan was delighted.
Besides this, Lan Pin harbored a kind of ambition that was growing wildly within her.
Consort Duan smiled at the newly promoted Consort Zhi and said softly, "Congratulations, Consort Zhi, on being granted the title of Consort. Among all those above the rank of Consort in the palace, only Consort Zhi has two princesses under her wing. Consort Zhi is truly blessed."
"Thank you very much, Consort Duan. Your thirteenth princess is also excellent."
