From the moment Bai Susu came to the Yangxin Palace alone to take care of the sick, Wang Fuhai had respected Bai Susu from the bottom of his heart. Now that she was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, Wang Fuhai was also genuinely happy.
He bowed his head respectfully and said, "I don't deserve it." Then he quietly took his leave.
Bai Susu has been in the palace for a year and has been promoted many times.
She originally thought that the title of Imperial Concubine was no different from the previous titles, and that it would only be a matter of the Emperor issuing an edict.
When she learned that there would be a coronation ceremony, she was really surprised.
"Is there still a ceremony to confer the title?" Looking at Bai Susu's confused look, Emperor Xuan Jing's heart softened.
His eyes were gentle as he held Bai Susu's hand in his palm and kneaded it, saying, "Of course, the imperial concubine is of the first rank, so there must be a ceremony to confer the title of consort. But there is no rush. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of Clothing prepare everything now. It will take at least half a month to prepare everything."
Bai Susu was even more shocked. Half a month, it seemed like it would take a lot of manpower and resources.
Only then did she begin to feel a little more real about the imperial concubine.
Considering that in order to make himself a noble concubine, the emperor also promoted his own father, it can be said to be quite shocking.
I heard from Manxia that folk storytellers are now telling her story, and it's so fantastical. Having a daughter like this, if she succeeds, everyone will prosper. I really don't want a son, I want a daughter.
Bai Susu felt touched. She didn't know if it was because of the pregnancy hormones, but her eyes were wet. She looked at Emperor Xuan Jing with affection in her eyes, "Your Majesty is so good to me."
At the end, he didn't know what to say, and only this dry sentence remained.
Emperor Xuan Jing looked at her with a smile and jokingly said, "Are you going to cry like this? It seems I should treat the concubine better."
When Bai Susu suddenly heard the word "Imperial Concubine" from Emperor Xuan Jing's mouth, she felt it was even more beautiful and moving. She couldn't help but lean on Emperor Xuan Jing's arms and rubbed his chest with her hair.
Emperor Xuan Jing held her in his arms, caressing her belly with his large hand. He asked, "Are you feeling unwell today? Have you vomited again?"
Bai Susu shook her head. Doctor Su, under the order of the Emperor, came to take Bai Susu's pulse every other day.
His heart is now in his throat, fearing that Bai Susu and the dragon fetus in her belly will feel any discomfort. His hair has turned a lot whiter recently.
Fortunately, Bai Susu was in good health, which reduced the pressure on Doctor Su.
This is also the reason why Emperor Xuan Jing insisted on holding the ceremony of conferring the title of concubine.
Although the ceremony of conferring the title of imperial concubine does not require Bai Susu to do much, it is still stressful and tiring. If Bai Susu's fetal breathing is really unstable, Emperor Xuan Jing will be reluctant to let her work so hard.
Fortunately, Su Su worked hard, so he could give Su Su the respect she deserved.

Bai Susu was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, but the palace fell into a strange silence. It was not that they did not care, but they were so shocked that they did not know how to react.
The emperor dotes on her so much that he makes her a first-rank imperial concubine. What else can people say?
If Bai Susu had been promoted before, the others would have been jealous, but now, the gap between Bai Susu and them is too big.
He has status, children, and honors. They don't even have to be jealous. It's not enough.
The more important thing is to think about how to take advantage of the fact that the imperial concubine is pregnant and cannot sleep with the emperor to attract his attention.
Although most of the concubines did not react, Huifei of Zhaoyang Palace did.
As soon as the imperial edict to confer the title of Imperial Concubine was issued, Concubine Hui vomited blood on the spot, and the arrogant Concubine collapsed.
Nanny Sun was extremely worried and hurried to ask for the imperial physician. The imperial physician said that Concubine Hui was suffering from anger and prescribed some medicine, asking her to take good care of herself.
It's a good thing that the foundation has not been damaged, but the reason for the anger is not easy to publicize.
After all, she is already a noble concubine, which is higher than Concubine Hui's status, and she was appointed by the emperor himself. You were furious when you heard the news. Are you dissatisfied with the emperor?
So Concubine Hui could only recuperate quietly and found a common illness, such as catching a cold.
Lying on the couch, Concubine Hui was unusually fragile, with tears in the corner of her eyes: "Imperial Concubine..." She was afraid of comparison in everything. Even if Bai Susu was pregnant with the dragon fetus, it would not make the emperor so crazy. What right did that bitch have?
She gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter, but the emperor never showed such pity for her. Now he insisted on making her a noble concubine, and suppressing her forever.
What brought Concubine Hui down was not the news of Bai Susu's promotion, but the love of Emperor Xuan Jing displayed behind it.
Bai Susu, with the emperor's love, what can't she do?
What about her? Having already made an enemy of Bai Susu, would Bai Susu let her go? Would she just wait for death with her and He Jia?
She is unwilling to accept it!

Time passed like water. A few days ago, Bai Susu and Emperor Xuan Jing were discussing the style of auspicious dresses, and today was the ceremony of enthroning the concubine.
Since becoming pregnant, Bai Susu rarely woke up early. However, because she had deliberately gone to bed very early yesterday, her complexion was still very good, and her skin was so soft that it seemed that you could squeeze water out of it.
The female official who put makeup on her said nice things to her for free, which made Bai Susu laugh sweetly, and the whole Yanfu Palace was immersed in joy.
After putting on makeup, Nanchun and Manxia helped Bai Susu put on the auspicious dress embroidered with gold and silver silk phoenixes.
This lucky charm is made of the finest Shu brocade, and the phoenix pattern on it is carefully embroidered by dozens of embroiderers. The phoenix feathers are clearly visible, and the eyes are so lifelike that it seems that the phoenix will come alive when exposed to sunlight.
Thinking that the styles of the auspicious clothes were all drawn by Emperor Xuan Jing himself and then modified after asking for her opinions, Bai Susu felt as sweet as drinking honey.
After putting on the auspicious clothes and the crown, Bai Susu was surrounded by the crowd and took the sedan chair to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with a group of palace maids behind her and officials from the Ministry of Rites in official uniforms beside her, Bai Susu felt a moment of nervousness.
Until the eunuch sang: "The Emperor has arrived."
When she saw the emperor slowly walking out of the steps, Bai Susu smiled slightly, and the tension in her heart disappeared completely.
Emperor Xuan Jing actually attended the enthronement ceremony in person, which had never happened before.
Today he wore a robe embroidered with the five-colored twelve emblems of the Ming Emperor, a standing water dragon. He looked indescribably majestic and imposing.
He smiled slightly and said, "The Concubine Zhengui is pregnant, so there is no need to kneel down and bow." Turning to the official from the Ministry of Rites, he said, "Begin."
In this way, Bai Susu stood and listened to the imperial decree of enthronement again.
Then, before she could react, Emperor Xuan Jing had already come down the stairs and handed the imperial concubine's seal and imperial book to her.
He looked at her with a smile. A golden crow suddenly appeared from the clouds and shone on the gold, jade, and phoenix crown on her head. The jewel on the top of the crown then emitted a sparkling light.
However, Emperor Xuan Jing's gaze still fell on Bai Susu's face. This face was undoubtedly beautiful. Being pregnant did not diminish her appearance. Instead, it added a bit of woman's tenderness and sweetness.
Her eyes were sparkling and bright, and the brilliant light made Emperor Xuan Jing unable to help but indulge in it.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
Emperor Xuan Jing took the initiative to support her body and walked out, saying in a doting tone: "Thank you, I don't want to hear it between you and me."
