When the imperial edict arrived at the mansion, Yin Qingyi led all the women of the inner courtyard out to receive it.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: ...Yin Jia is beautiful and intelligent, gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified... By imperial decree, you are hereby established as Empress, this is the imperial decree!" Su Peisheng finished speaking and handed the imperial edict to Yin Qingyi, who was kneeling in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please get up quickly, the ground is cold." Su Peisheng said softly. To be honest, he was really a little scared to see this Master Yin kneeling on the ground. After all, this person didn't even kneel to the Emperor. Although he was kneeling to the imperial edict in his hand, he was still timid. So he should get up quickly.
"Your Majesty, I accept the decree." To be honest, the reason why Yin Qingyi didn't stand up so quickly was because she was shocked by the contents of the imperial decree. She thought that Yinzhen would at most give her the title of Consort, or at best, Imperial Noble Consort. She never expected that Yinzhen would actually give her the position of Empress. This... is really like a dream!
After that, Yin Qingyi stood aside and listened to Su Peisheng continue reading the imperial edict. Ulanara was made a concubine, but she didn't even have a title. It was clear how much Yinzhen disliked her. If it weren't for Honghui, Yinzhen probably wouldn't even bother to give her a concubine title.
Lady Li was also a concubine, but she had the title Qi, the same title as in history. Lady Song was also a concubine, but her title Yu was different from historical records. Then there was Lady Niohuru, who had no title, and Lady Fucha, who also had no title. After that were two concubines, both of whom were talented women, and like them, they had no titles.
Once the imperial edict is issued, it doesn't matter whether the women in the inner quarters are satisfied with their rank or not. Several days ago, someone had already informed them of their intention to enter the palace, so everything was packed and they were just waiting for the edict to be issued before moving in. Now that the edict has been read and the carriages are waiting at the gate, they naturally begin moving in.
Yin Qingyi was naturally the first person to enter the palace, while the others were still walking slowly behind.
Yin Qingyi's palace was renovated by Yinzhen after he ascended the throne. It was called Weiyang Palace. This palace was the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Yinzhen lived and was also the largest palace. Yinzhen took a liking to this palace at first sight and had it renovated long ago.
Upon entering Weiyang Palace, Yin Qingyi immediately fell in love with the palace. After all, it was modified by Yin Zhen according to Yin Qingyi's preferences, and every aspect reflected her liking. How could she not like it?
That evening, Yinzhen arrived at Weiyang Palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Yin Qingyi greeted Yinzhen as he entered, and then rose to greet him with a very formal gesture.
"...Stand still and talk to me properly!" Yinzhen's face darkened. This little woman was doing it on purpose!
"Hehe, what's wrong? You're the emperor now, this is the right thing to do, okay?" Yin Qingyi got up with a smile and came to Yinzhen's side.
"You rascal! I'm talking to you about serious matters. I was too busy to celebrate the full moon of the two children, so I'm thinking of holding a make-up celebration for them tomorrow. These two are my first children since I ascended the throne, so it should be a grand celebration. The ministers at the morning court also mentioned this. What do you think?" Yinzhen pulled Yin Qingyi to sit on the couch and asked softly.
"It's fine, you can decide for yourself." Yin Qingyi nodded indifferently. After all, although she held a full-month celebration for her first child, she didn't hold a first birthday celebration because it happened to be a turbulent time. Prince Yu had died and Yinzhen was still in mourning. What could she do? So she simply didn't mention it.
"Forget it, I'll take care of these things. You just need to be happy," Yinzhen sighed and smiled helplessly.
"Hmm, I remember that. You said it right after I gave birth to these two. See, I've carried it out thoroughly. You can handle all the troublesome things from now on; I won't interfere at all." Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen mischievously. These were the words you said yourself; I just carried them out very seriously.
"Yes, yes, I said it. Anyway, no one will be entering the harem anymore, and the remaining people can't cause any trouble. From now on, you just need to be happy." Yinzhen smiled indulgently. This was his heartfelt wish. He just wanted this little fox to live a happy and carefree life. He would take care of any troubles.
"Huh? What do you mean? What do you mean that no one will be allowed to enter the harem from now on?" Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen, confused. Could it be what she was thinking? Would Emperor Kangxi agree to that?
"I will never enter the harem again, Qingqing. I have never told you that you are enough for me in this life. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but I, Yinzhen, only want you. My heart and soul belong to only you." Yinzhen held Yinqingyi in his arms, his eyes filled with deep affection as he stared intently at her. His eyes were fixed on Yinqingyi, her image the only one he could see.
"...You, you're perfectly fine, why are you suddenly saying such cheesy love words?" Tears welled up in Yin Qingyi's eyes, the urge to cry was overwhelming, and Yin Qingyi couldn't control it at all. Tears were already streaming down her face, and it seemed like she couldn't stop them.
"You, you don't cry. I'm just saying what's on my mind. Why are you crying?" Yinzhen didn't expect Yin Qingyi to cry, and to cry so hard. He panicked and didn't know what to do with his hands. He raised his hand to wipe Yin Qingyi's face, but after wiping it for a couple of times, Yin Qingyi's face turned red. He was so scared that he didn't dare to wipe it anymore and could only stand helplessly by his side.
"You still say that the court officials will definitely not agree with your decision." Yin Qingyi reached out and punched Yinzhen, of course controlling the force, otherwise this punch would have caused the Qing Dynasty to change two emperors in two months.
"Of course I only told you this after I had convinced them, silly girl. Don't cry, you're making me think I made the wrong decision." Yinzhen looked at Yin Qingyi, whose face was covered in tears, with amusement, but at the same time felt sorry for her. This little fox probably hadn't thought about this at all, otherwise why would she be so moved?
"Yinzhen, you're so good to me, I feel like I'm dreaming. Will you always be this good to me?" Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen, sobbing.
"Of course I will. I will only ever be good to you in my life. If I ever break this promise, may I die a violent death, my body torn to pieces, and be boiled in oil after I die." Yinzhen raised his hand and swore to Yin Qingyi.
"Then I'll remember this. If you ever break your promise, you'll pay the price." Yin Qingyi didn't stop Yinzhen from making the oath. Although the oath was actually useless, who was Yin Qingyi? She was a cultivator. When Yinzhen made the oath, she had already manually set up an array. If Yinzhen broke his oath, he wouldn't die suddenly, but he would suffer from the pain of his heart being devoured every day.
