Chapter 423 Queen's Dream
As long as you don't make mistakes with the two above, it doesn't matter how many mistakes you make elsewhere.
Speaking of this lady's achievements over the years... she has made quite a few achievements. But the emperor not only did not despise her, but also acquiesced to her.
As for the Queen Mother, she never cared who was favored, not to mention how smart Jing Zhaoyi was.
He never took advantage of his favor to disrespect the queen.
How could such a person, who also has a son, not be able to stand firm? The emperor tried to test her by asking her whether she would become the queen, but Jing Zhaoyi was not tempted at all.
This time, when the Northern Frontier calms down and Shen Changjing comes back, I’m afraid he will be given an additional title.
With such a maternal family, Jing Zhaoyi will definitely have a good future.
If she really became a queen, she couldn't be happier than she is now.
The news that Shen Chuliu came out of Taiji Palace crying soon spread throughout the palace.
The main reason is that this is a sensitive period. Even though the emperor deliberately tried to appease the queen in front of everyone in the morning, the fight has not started yet.
If a fight really breaks out, wouldn't the Queen be even more embarrassed?
To put it bluntly, who among the women in the harem doesn’t dream of becoming a queen?
Even if there is none, who doesn't want to live a good life by relying on others?
The current queen doesn't buy into this, but what if she can just replace her with a new one? So, at this time, Jing Zhaoyi came out of Taiji Palace crying, and the harem must have had so many thoughts.
But Shen Chuliu didn't give the emperor any face at all. Not only did she come out crying, she also asked Yuanxiao to go to Fengzao Palace and asked for leave directly from the queen.
When I come back, I close the door and ignore what's happening outside.
When the emperor finished his work in the evening, he laughed at these words and said, "What a temper."
"Tomorrow morning, you go and pass on the message. Promote Jing Zhaoyi to Jing Fei. However, it is the mourning period for the empress dowager now, so it is not convenient to hold the canonization ceremony, so we will postpone it for the time being. But everything will be done according to the position of concubine." said the emperor.
"Well, then I will go to collect the reward tomorrow." Chusi said with a smile.
After Chu Si laughed, he was a little worried. What if Empress Jing Zhaoyi... refused to accept the order? However, Shen Chuliu was not that powerful after all. She looked at Chu Si coldly without saying a word.
It was Yuanxiao who received the order.
"Empress Jing, the emperor said that if you are not feeling well these days, you should rest for a few days. We can talk about it when you feel better. As for moving the palace, there is no rush. The emperor will come in person to choose with you in a few days. Even if you have chosen, we still need to repair it and add some things to it. There is no rush." Chusi said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu snorted and ignored him and went into the house.
Chusi smiled awkwardly.
"Don't mind it, sir. Our queen started crying when she came back yesterday. She was very angry... Well, it's also our queen's fault." Chi Su smiled and stuffed the purse to Chu Si: "Please don't mind it. Our queen is not like this normally."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's just that...you guys should also persuade her a little. The Empress is angry with the Emperor, so the Empress is the one who suffers, right? I'll leave first." Chusi said with a smile.
Chi Su thanked him very humbly and sent him out.
After entering, Shen Chuliu didn't look unhappy at all, just calm.
Everyone knelt down and said, "Your servants congratulate your Majesty. Congratulations to your Majesty."
"Okay. Everyone, get up." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Everyone will be rewarded."
Everyone thanked him again before they dared to stand up.
"Is the master still angry?" Zi Rui asked after seeing everyone leave.
"Whether you are angry or not, it's only a matter of time before I get the position of concubine. Giving it to me now doesn't necessarily mean it's compensation to me. Besides, why should I be angry? The emperor tested me, and I tested him too. I gave birth to a prince, and I have such a maternal family, so it's normal for people to be feared. But I don't think I did anything inappropriate. It's okay for them to be feared of me." Shen Chuliu said calmly.
"Yes, I feel relieved if you think so." Zi Rui sighed.
"Okay, forget about it today. Starting tomorrow, I will naturally go to pay my respects. Since I am already a concubine, I can speak for the queen better." Shen Chuliu smiled: "I, eh, am so selfless, but I really like the queen. A queen like this is simply the best for me. Just for this reason, I can't let her fall."
"You guys should keep an eye on it too, there are many people in the harem who want to make some moves."
"Yes, master, don't worry. Master, do you have a palace you like? When will we move out?" Zi Rui asked.
"I didn't notice it before. Don't worry. At least I won't move out this year. Let's talk about it later. I'm still angry." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Then you continue to be angry. In order to prevent you from getting angry, I will go to the kitchen to see if there is anything delicious to give you." Zi Rui said.
"Don't worry, the emperor must have rewarded him with food this morning." Shen Chuliu said with a smile, "He rewarded his concubines. I'm afraid there are sixteen of them, right?"
After hearing this, Zi Rui also laughed.
Everyone is still talking about how Shen Chuliu came out of Taiji Palace crying yesterday, but suddenly she was conferred the title of second-rank concubine early in the morning!
This is really...
Everyone had been holding back their desire to mock him the whole morning, but in the end he got promoted!
The promotion has been made, but the person has not arrived yet. This really makes everyone feel confused and at a loss.
To be honest, the Queen was also surprised, so what happened in Taiji Palace yesterday naturally did not spread.
Words in the Taiji Palace can only be spread with the emperor's permission, and it was obvious that the emperor did not allow it yesterday.
So, everyone didn't know why Shen Chuliu came out crying yesterday, and naturally they didn't know why she was suddenly promoted today.
So, everyone who came to greet each other this morning dispersed in a daze.
Those who have plans in mind have to think about it first. Those who don't have plans dare not do anything more at this stage, for fear of something going wrong.
After everyone left, the Queen laughed: "This Jing Zhaoyi...oh, now she's called Jing Fei, this Jing Fei. She can always get on their nerves. Look at Concubine Qian Shu's face."
Emei laughed: "Your Majesty, you are looking at Consort Qian Shu, and I am looking at Consort Zhen Chongyi. Her expression is also very interesting."
"Bah, if it weren't for her background, would the emperor care about her? She has slept with him countless times in the past few years. She really thinks she is someone important." Pei Yue snorted.
"Isn't he a prominent figure? Now...now something has happened over there, and we don't know what is happening behind the scenes. Your Majesty, I am worried about you." Peilan said.
Speaking of this, all the slaves who came from the Chao Kingdom were worried.
"The Emperor will not depose the Queen. You just need to guard the gates and make sure no one assassinates you." The Queen lowered her eyes: "For the sake of Yi'er, I can give up being a princess, but also for Yi'er, I must be the Queen."
In this world, there is only this one child that she truly cares about and whom she really wants to protect with her life.
How important could the rest be? "Master, rest assured. Even if we risk our lives, we will protect you and the Second Princess." Emei said.
The queen smiled and said, "After all this, I will match you with sons-in-law. But when you get married, you must be by my side."
These words made the girls blush, and the atmosphere became much better.
