Several pieces of porcelain were also smashed in the palace of the usually wise Crown Princess.
"Mammy, he dotes on Tu and insists on giving her the title of Imperial Concubine. I have nothing to say about this, but look, he has made Changning the eldest princess!"
"Since ancient times, apart from the emperor's biological sisters, only legitimate princesses can be named the eldest princess."
"But look at my daughter, Princess Changping. This Changping is a descendant of the title Changning."
"But she is the legitimate princess, my only daughter. How could he do this?"
She stared at the nanny in a daze, "Mammy, this is ridiculous! If he doesn't make An Rou the eldest princess, does that mean he doesn't recognize me as the queen?"
"In his heart, Tu Qingyu is the candidate for queen."
After saying that, she held on to the table again and started coughing violently.
As the nanny stroked her back, she comforted her, "Your Highness, please don't think like that. After all, you are now the Empress. As long as you remain calm, no one can surpass you."
"Hold on, hold on... cough cough..." The Queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "How can I hold on now?"
"Speaking of status, look at me and Chen Liangdi's family. There's not a single one above the third rank. But, ahem..."
"But that Lu family, because of her friendship with Tu Qingyu, actually got a virtuous concubine and a Chenghui, and jumped to the position of a first-rank concubine."
Isn't this clearly telling the people in the palace that standing behind them will not gain any benefits?
Lu Huaixi, the only one who was close to Tu Qingyu, became the virtuous concubine.
Isn't this meant to hurt her heart?
Nanny: "Your Majesty, look at Chen Liangdi. His Majesty is the cruel one."
A good concubine became a third-rank concubine, and her status declined instead of rising. Such a thing has never been seen since ancient times.
After the palace was moved, everyone went to Kunning Palace to pay homage to the queen.
As the first person under the queen, Tu Qingyu naturally didn't need to wait early.
But when she and Lu Huaixi arrived, everyone was still standing outside the main hall of Kunning Palace.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Greetings to Her Majesty, the Virtuous Consort, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
"No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Madam."
Chen Jieyu stood in the crowd and almost broke her silver teeth when she saluted.
Who could have imagined that once the emperor ascended the throne, their positions would be reversed.
The person who used to not even glance at me when I saluted him, now stood there superiorly and accepted my salute.
She almost fainted from the weight loss pills she could not bear, but when she thought of the letter her father sent to the palace, she still held on.
Tu Qingyu didn't pay too much attention to her, but asked Dabao, "Is she trying to intimidate me?"
Dabao: "No, she is really not well, Master, please take a look."
As soon as it finished speaking, a video began playing in Tu Qingyu's mind.
It turned out that a quarter of an hour before they arrived, the queen had already prepared to invite them in, but when she stood up, she suddenly coughed up blood.
After coughing, I had to change my makeup and clothes.
Tu Qingyu: "No, she's already like this, why does she have to force herself to hold on instead of taking a good rest?"
Dabao: "Who knows? I can only say that I've been very strong my whole life."
Fortunately, the palace servants were quick enough. They only waited for a quarter of an hour before the queen's nanny came to invite them in.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"No need to be polite."
The queen's voice seemed light, but Tu Qingyu could still feel her suppressed voice.
Chen Jieyu stood up and subconsciously wanted to sit in the first seat on the left.
But as soon as she moved her feet, she saw Tu Qingyu sitting down leisurely.
Sitting on the first chair on the right was Lu Huaixi.
Just then I remembered that I am just a concubine now.
Jieyushi is two ranks below the position of concubine.
After everyone sat down, the Queen's first question was, "Are you all used to the new palace you moved into?"
Tu Qingyu: "Thank you for your constant concern, Your Majesty. The palace is perfect for you."
Lu Huaixi: "Yes, I am so grateful to Her Majesty for arranging the palaces of Qingyu and I next door to each other. It is much more convenient for us to visit each other now."
That wasn't arranged by the Queen, it was clearly arranged by His Majesty himself.
The Queen's face was a little unnatural, "Just get used to it."
Concubine Chen couldn't help but speak, "Who in this palace doesn't envy you, the virtuous concubine? Because you have a bit of vision, you were named the virtuous concubine and lived in Huaqing Palace."
"This blessing is not something that everyone can have."
Lu Huaixi was not polite either, "It's a pity that you, Concubine Chen, don't have this kind of insight. Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this point, and you wouldn't be using your status as a Concubine Chen to stab this virtuous concubine of mine."
"You!" Concubine Chen slammed her hand on the small table next to her. "Don't think you can step on my head just because you're a virtuous concubine. Even if you're a virtuous concubine, you're just a dog by the side of the imperial concubine. Why are you so arrogant?"
No one below dared to speak, as they had already witnessed Tu Qingyu's lethality.
She didn't want to be a good concubine in the palace and was sent to the laundry department.
Lu Huaixi looked directly at the Queen, "Your Majesty, how should the insubordination in the harem be punished?"
"This..." The Queen looked at Concubine Chen with some embarrassment. Finally, under the gazes of Tu Qingyu and Lu Huaixi, she said, "Then punish Concubine Chen with house arrest for three months and make her copy the palace rules fifty times."
"We are no longer in the Eastern Palace. Concubine Chen, please be careful with your words. If you continue to talk nonsense, even I cannot protect you."
"Oh……"
Concubine Chen smiled sarcastically and thought to herself, I want you to protect me. My father and brother serve the court, so what if their words are inappropriate?
She thought so, but after laughing, she still had to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I will follow your instructions."
After this visit, the queen fell seriously ill.
She lay in bed, unable to get up, and was sick for several months until the news came that Tu Qingyu was pregnant again.
"Mammy..." The queen was now so thin that she looked like a human. She was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. She didn't even have the strength to cough.
"Mammy, I am unlucky... enough..." She didn't even last a year on the throne of queen.
The nanny had already burst into tears when she held her hand. "No, Madam, you will be fine. Wait until the flowers bloom next spring..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until next spring. Bring the princess here..."
Little Anrou can now simply say one or two words.
The first thing she learned was mother.
The Queen Mother was too complicated, so the nanny taught my mother first.
The Queen looked at the child with confused eyes and reached out to touch her face. "I don't know why, but I didn't like her before. But now... now I feel that this child really looks like me in every way..."
She said softly, "Child, I'm sorry..."
She failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.
An Rou feels sorry for her. Actually, the name An Rou is quite nice, quiet and gentle.
Changping also sounds nice, meaning longevity and peace.
