Queen Jiayi!
No one expected that Emperor Jiahe would use the character Jia from his reign title Jiahe to bestow the title on Queen Bei.
The meaning of the word "Jia" is: beauty, approval, praise, auspiciousness, happiness and joy.
The meaning of the word Yi: gentle and virtuous, gentle and radiant, beautiful, quiet and blessed, and of noble character.
The title Jiayi embodies the importance and favor that Emperor Jiahe had for Queen Bei.
Even the Queen Mother envied these two words.
However, the empress dowager was not jealous. Her son was her biological son, so the posthumous title she gave him would not be bad.
The news of Concubine Zhuang being crowned as Queen spread out from the palace, and there was a heated discussion in the capital, as if the Bei family's ancestral tomb was filled with smoke.
Otherwise, it would be a legend that a divorced woman could enter the palace, give birth to a prince for the emperor, and be crowned queen.
Even the storybooks don’t dare to write like this.
Everyone watched as Concubine Zhuang entered the palace and rose to the throne. It took only four steps from concubine to queen, and only one year.
It's breathtaking.
If this isn't smoke coming out of our ancestral graves, then what is?
At the residence of Marquis Chunyi, Bei Chengye and An sent away the eunuch who brought the news, and were stunned by the good news that came out of the blue.
They really didn't expect that their daughter could become queen.
What they wanted most was that the prince would grow up safely, inherit the throne, and then their daughter would be named empress dowager.
I didn't expect that she would be crowned queen in just one year.
"Hurry, write a letter and tell Dad."
Bei Chengye spoke excitedly.
An smiled and said, "Master, you are confused. It was you who wrote the letter. Come into the study quickly and I will grind ink for you."
"Yes, yes, I was confused, but you should also write a page of letter to our father."
An said happily, "Okay, let's write together."
The couple was writing a letter to Old Master Bei in the study when Bei Liulang rushed back from the school in a carriage.
"Dad and Mom"
Bei Liulang shouted.
"My Lord, the Lord and his wife are in the study."
Bei Liulang rushed to the study excitedly and said, "Father and Mother, I heard the news that my sister has been crowned Queen. It came from the palace. I've confirmed it many times and it's true. The palace has truly issued an imperial decree."
"Of course it's true. Someone from the palace just came to announce that your sister has been named Empress Jiayi."
"Empress Jiayi"
An muttered to himself, thinking that these four words were so beautiful.
Bei Chengye said sternly, "With Yao'er crowned Queen and the Crown Prince still young, our Bei family is becoming increasingly conspicuous. From now on, every move we make must be cautious and careful. We can't expect to bring glory to the Queen and the Crown Prince, but at least we can't, and absolutely can't, cause trouble. Otherwise, even if it means harming our family members, we will punish them severely!"
Bei Chengye said this not only to his son, but also to his wife.
Power and wealth are so dazzling that Bei Chengye, a nearly bankrupt businessman, rose to the rank of Lord Chunyi thanks to his daughter.
Although he did not serve as an official in the court, he had a daughter of a royal concubine and a grandson of a crown prince in the palace, and there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with the Bei family.
When Bei Chengye goes out, countless people will meet him and make friends with him. If he had not maintained a bit of clarity, rationality, and caution, he would have been lost in the flattery and forgotten everything else.
An nodded heavily, "Master, don't worry. You know my character best. I have always been very cautious. Although the Empress and the Crown Prince are favored in the palace, we have no one in the court and no foundation in the capital. I must not cause trouble."
"Dad and Mom, your son will never cause trouble or get into trouble."
As soon as Bei Liulang finished speaking, Bei Chengye patted his son's head and said, "Our family is attracting attention now. Even if we don't provoke others, others will provoke us. So when we go out, we should bring more people with us to guard against other people's calculations. It's right to be cautious, but we should also be open and generous, so that others won't say that our family is petty."
Over the past year, Bei Chengye has grown a lot. He focuses on the education of his wife and children, and often communicates with Old Master Bei in Wancheng.
An has a nanny from the palace to teach her, and she has grown a lot this year. She can now attend banquets in various mansions with ease.
Fame can support people, and so can wealth. Bei Chengye and the An family are no longer what they used to be.
If the acquaintances in Wanyun City saw Bei Chengye and An again, they would definitely be shocked.
Bei Liulang also entered the Imperial College to study. Although there were some minor conflicts among his classmates, no one dared to bully him.
Also, because he had a sister who was a noble concubine in the palace, there were many people who flattered him.
Bei Lingyao's consciousness was always paying attention to the movements of her relatives. Seeing her relatives? Such a reaction made her smile.
Thinking of the Queen Mother and the Yang family, Bei Lingyao also summed up the reasons.
After getting married, you can take care of your parents' home, but you have to strike a balance between the two.
Giving too much at once may encourage greed and ambition.
After all, human desires are insatiable.
Not to mention the desire for power.
When an official is promoted step by step, he wants to be granted a title and become a prime minister.
Even if you are second to none and above ten thousand people, you will still not be satisfied.
Just like Emperor Jiahe, who was already the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom and ruled over a vast territory, he still felt dissatisfied sometimes.
The Yang family's appetites have been pampered, so they are never satisfied.
She will also pay attention to the Bei family to prevent the Bei family from facing a situation similar to that of the Yang family.
At this moment, both the Yang family and the two dukedoms were silent.
The Queen Mother had never been a Queen, so the Yang family wanted to have another Queen, but they didn't expect that it would be Bei Lingyao.
The Yang family felt so uncomfortable and suffocated.
Soon, the quarrel broke out again in the Cheng'en Mansion.
Ever since Concubine Shu's magic of exorcism was exposed, the brothers of the Yang family were invited to the palace by Emperor Jiahe to be liquidated.
There was a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days in the Cheng'en Mansion. Even Cheng'en, who had suffered a stroke, could hear the quarrels.
Duke Cheng'en was extremely angry and anxious. He had never expected that his sudden stroke would cause chaos in his family.
These unfilial sons and useless trash can't even support the family.
Duke Cheng'en held on with his willpower, otherwise he would have been angered to death by his rebellious sons.
He wanted to know more, but he couldn't open his mouth. He just asked the imperial physician to cure him as soon as possible, otherwise if he died, the Yang family would be finished.
Duke Cheng'en also regretted it at this time. He had always been proud of the fact that he was still in good health at the age of seventy.
But unexpectedly, he suddenly had a stroke.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have put pressure on the emperor, would not have fought for power, would have taken a step back, and let his son be promoted.
There will be no chaos at home.
At this time, Duke Cheng'en heard the quarrel and was in disbelief when he learned that Bei was crowned queen.
The emperor is confused.
Even if Bei gave birth to a prince, she was just the daughter of a merchant and was divorced. How could she be qualified to be the queen, a role model for the six palaces, and a mother of the country, and win the trust of the people?
Duke Cheng'en was both angry and annoyed. When he fell, no one in the court persuaded the emperor. Were all officials useless? How could they allow an abandoned woman to become the queen and step on a group of noble ladies to become her empress?
The Empress Dowager never managed the harem and gave the Emperor any advice.
Confused, so confused.
Bei was a seductive concubine. If such a seductive concubine became the queen, the Great Xia Kingdom would be doomed.
Duke Cheng'en was so distressed that he spat out a mouthful of blood...
