His Majesty has also acquiesced to this configuration.
An imperial edict was issued, ordering Consort Jing and Consort Xiang to take charge of all affairs in the inner palace.
Now that Consort Chenhui is pregnant, she naturally doesn't need to worry about things anymore, but she probably won't be able to avoid it after she gives birth.
As soon as she received this task, Consort Jing started trembling again.
She has been quite low-key these past few years, but now she wants to be flamboyant again.
He sent word to all the women in the harem to pay their respects.
Consort Xiangxian naturally refused to go, and Yan Nangui was even less likely to go.
We're all from the first rank, so who are you?
But the people below started to hesitate. Many didn't want to go, but who would dare to refuse so directly?
Originally, Granny Lu was going to stop her, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Let's take a look, let's see what the people in the harem are thinking.
So, on this day, starting with the second-rank imperial concubine, everyone still came.
After all, the Imperial Concubine had the Empress Dowager behind her.
This makes Consort Xiangxian and Consort Chenhui seem a bit out of place.
Consort Xiang knew that if she lowered her head, she would never be able to raise it again.
Now that the Empress is deposed, it's pointless for her to bow down to Consort Jing in the harem.
It was quite a coincidence that the Empress was deposed, but Consort Chenhui became pregnant.
Now it's a three-way standoff again.
She absolutely cannot bow her head.
As for Consort Chenhui, she didn't care at all. Whatever. As long as she didn't interfere with her pregnancy.
In the Flying Phoenix Palace, Consort Jing sat at the head of the table, looking extremely pleased with herself. Listening to the adoration from those below, she was in a wonderful mood.
She was unhappy that Consort Xiangxian and Consort Chenhui didn't come, but she also knew that she couldn't force them.
Emperors are interesting too.
In the morning, Feiluan Palace had just enjoyed its splendor, and in the late morning, he bestowed the title of Zhaochun Palace upon it.
The gifts included several potted flowers, all of which were rare, as well as a box of gold ingots and two boxes of silver ingots. These gold and silver ingots were, of course, not meant for her to spend.
Instead, they were made in the shapes of the twelve zodiac animals, as well as peanuts, melon seeds, and all sorts of other designs.
Little turtles, little goldfish, all kinds of shapes and sizes are available.
This pile of things probably contains two thousand taels of silver ingots. There are also about a thousand taels of gold ingots, and they are all solid.
Yan Nangui chuckled and grabbed a few: "Your Majesty is truly ingenious. Here, take a few and play with them, don't spend them."
As he spoke, he distributed one gold ingot and two silver ingots to the servants around him according to their zodiac signs.
Everyone was delighted and thanked them.
This isn't just money; it's a gift from His Majesty—it's something wonderful.
After a while, His Majesty bestowed another reward upon Consort Xiangxian.
Clothing and jewelry.
This is...
Everyone was waiting for a reward for Consort Jing, but when lunchtime arrived, nothing happened.
That means they're not giving it to me.
Yes, His Majesty's slap really hurt.
After finishing his lunch, Yan Nangui chuckled, "Look at His Majesty, now that he holds great power, he's become even more capricious."
Where is the gentleness of the past?
"His Majesty does not allow Consort Jing to have absolute power, but she insists on making all the concubines pay their respects. If this continues, won't you and Consort Xiangxian be squeezed out?" Chanyi said with a smile.
“Everyone has their own thoughts; people are never satisfied. She still has a prince, and she'll always be eyeing the position of crown prince. A mother's status rises with her son's, and a son's status rises with his mother's. The higher she rises, the greater her son's prospects become,” Yan Nangui said.
“Your Majesty is right. Then… then if you give birth to a prince, we will also have to stand on higher ground, since there is still Consort Duanyi above us,” Luo Kui said.
“Silly girl, if you want to stand high, you have to be absolutely high. To me, whether you’re Consort Duanyi, Consort Chenhui, or Consort Chen, it’s all the same. As long as you’re favored, you won’t be wronged. If you want to stand high, go for the highest point in the harem.” Yan Nangui smiled, but her eyes were extremely sharp.
"Empress...?" Luo Kui exclaimed in surprise.
"But you... I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle, will it?" Over the years, since Luo Kui has lost her fear, she has become much more casual in her speech.
“Silly girl, remember this: if you want to do something, you have to dare to dream it. If you hesitate, you won’t succeed. I will work hard when I need to. So what if I remarry? With His Majesty’s support, I can manage. However, if I don’t need it, there’s no need to bother.”
"Yes, Your Highness, this servant believes you." Luo Kui was filled with fervor at what she was being told.
Chanyi smiled, thinking that if the Empress wanted to do it, she would definitely succeed.
His Majesty now dotes on the Empress and shows no sign of indifference.
When Wan Jieyu's child reached its one-month milestone, Yan Nangui had finally passed the first three months of his life.
Strangely enough, she didn't have much of a reaction; apart from being sleepy, she didn't have any other problems.
I don't vomit no matter what I eat, and I have a good appetite.
None of His Majesty's children have ever had a grand celebration for their full moon celebration or birthday, and the Sixth Princess is no exception.
Originally, Consort Wan and Lady Xiao Xiang lived in Yiyu Pavilion. After she gave birth to the Sixth Princess, she asked Lady Xiao Xiang to move to Linhua Palace.
Now it's just her. In one room, there's a concubine taking care of the child, and that's about right. If there's another one, we won't be rich.
Although we won't be holding a big event anymore, we'll still have a small banquet.
Wan Jieyu has taken good care of herself; she's gained some weight, which has only added to her charm.
The child is chubby too.
His Majesty also came, but the Empress Dowager did not, though she sent a congratulatory gift.
Even the Empress, who was imprisoned, sent a congratulatory gift, since to the outside world, the Empress was ill.
Consort Jing led the way, followed by the other concubines.
Consort Wan remained unchanged despite giving birth.
Yan Nangui gave him a pair of small gold bracelets.
She doesn't treat everyone like that. This Consort Sang and Consort Wan have good temperaments, and she likes them.
She even hugged the Sixth Princess, but His Majesty frowned immediately: "You're pregnant yourself, and you still dare to hug a baby?"
"How old is she? How could she get tired? I like her, so I'll hug her." Yan Nangui ignored her.
Consort Wan smiled and said, "Give it to me quickly, Your Highness is worried. It's quite a coincidence that no matter how you give birth, this child will be born in the seventh month. In our Baiye Kingdom, it is said that children born in the seventh month are the most blessed."
Sang Jieyu nodded in agreement: "That's right, seven is a good number. Children in our Baiye Kingdom wear seven beads when they are young."
Yan Nangui laughed: "Alright, then give me a string of your seven beads. I'll give it to this one when it comes out."
“What’s so difficult about that!” Wan Jieyu handed the child to the wet nurse and went inside.
She took out a small wooden box: "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please take it. This is something I wore."
Upon seeing this, Consort Sang hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. There's a saying in Baiye Kingdom that the more people wear it, the better it is. My string of beads has passed through many people."
Wan Jieyu smiled and nodded hurriedly.
Yan Nangui took it and opened it. Sure enough, she could see that the beads were worn, but they were still beautiful.
Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity, so give it to her. I'll reward you with other beads to make new ones later."
