506. Chapter 506: Conferring the Title



As for the others, they either lowered their heads meekly or their status was not high enough to be in the spotlight, so Du Jingyi didn't pay much attention to them. Just when she was still wondering what would happen next in this situation, she saw someone coming in from outside.

Eunuch Liu walked in with the imperial edict in his hand and a happy look on his face.

When the nobles saw the imperial edict, their eyes lit up, and Du Jingyi immediately understood that it must be the imperial edict of enthronement.

Speaking of which, she was also lucky to be able to witness this moment, so she stood up with everyone else and looked at Eunuch Liu.

"Why is Eunuch Liu here? Does His Majesty have any instructions?"

"I pay my respects to the Empress, to all the nobles, and to all the ladies. The decree of enthronement has come down, and I am here to read it out."

"Great, today is such a great day, the sisters in the harem can also share in the honor."

After saying that, she stepped down from the throne of the Queen first, walked to Eunuch Liu and knelt down to listen to his orders. Naturally, the others followed suit.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor has announced that the division of the harem is determined by the decree. Now there is the daughter of Xing, who has a peaceful nature, is virtuous and clean, and can comfort my heart. She will be canonized as a noble concubine and granted the residence of Qingxiang Palace. Concubine Wang, who has raised many sons, is filial and virtuous, will be canonized as Huifei and granted the residence of Haining Palace. Concubine Lin, who is pure and gentle, bright, quiet and dedicated, will be canonized as Zhenfei and granted the residence of Heqing Palace. Concubine Li, who is well-mannered and gentle, will be canonized as Xianfei and granted the residence of Xian'an Palace. Concubine Zong will be canonized as Yuefei and granted the residence of Yingyue Palace. The rest of the nobles will all be given titles and rewards. I decree this."

"We, the concubines, thank you for your grace."

He lowered his head and leaned forward, and the title was determined.

Du Jingyi was not surprised at the positions given to other concubines. After all, Concubine Hui and others were old members of the Eastern Palace and naturally occupied high positions. With Concubine Zong Liangdi's favor for many years and the presence of the prince, it was not surprising that they were given the title of concubine.

However, Xing You was promoted to Imperial Concubine right away. Not only was she the youngest, but she had also been in the Eastern Palace the shortest time. She was immediately given the highest position of Queen. Du Jingyi couldn't help but look at her belly.

Du Jingyi had not heard of Xing You's abilities yet.

If it's not based on family background, then it's based on belly.

As expected, although Xing You's waist couldn't tell whether she was pregnant or not, the way she bent over still gave away something fishy.

It's almost certain that she is pregnant.

Therefore, if this child can be born safely, he will be the seventh prince of extremely noble status, the first son during the Hongyuan period, and will be competitive no matter how you look at it.

Suddenly, Du Jingyi felt a chill on his back.

A few days ago, she accepted the gift from Concubine Xing, so did she start setting a trap for the couple from that time?

Thinking of this, she wished she could leave the palace immediately and tell her own general about this speculation, otherwise as soon as she came to power, the disputes and wars in the harem would spread to them, as that would be an innocent mistake.

The decree to confer the title of princess has been issued, and naturally some people are happy, some are sad, and some are calm as if this matter has nothing to do with them.

Du Jingyi took a deep breath and kept everyone's performance in mind. He had to think of some countermeasures quickly after returning.

Now, they are related by marriage with the Yan family and the Xing family. If they don’t handle it well, they might offend both sides.

Naturally no one will say anything when the flowers are in bloom, but if there is a bad storm, then you won’t know where the thunder will strike, so be careful and you won’t make any mistakes.

When Concubine Zhen stood up, she glanced at Concubine Xing. She was jealous, but compared to her promotion to the throne, it seemed that Concubine Yue's promotion to the throne next to her made her more unhappy, so the contempt in her eyes was not restrained at all.

Concubine Yue was also a flamboyant person. The conflict between her and Concubine Zhen did not just start today, so who wouldn't roll their eyes? She also gave Concubine Zhen a cold sneer without any courtesy.

Du Jingyi watched coldly. The newly crowned Queen Yan seemed to not care about it at all, so of course, the ladies would not rush to cause trouble.

After sitting for a while, by the time of You, all the ceremonies were finally completed.

When Du Jingyi followed Madam Guo out of the palace, the sky was already full of rosy clouds. A whole day had passed like this. She was tired and hungry, but most importantly, her heart was tense and she felt very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Guo noticed that she was unwell, then patted her hands and spoke comfortingly.

"There is still a long time to go. Back then, my old man was already in his thirties and had reached a high position. I had a hard time in the backyard, too. I was worried about this and that, always feeling that someone was going to stab me in the back. But over time, I didn't find the enemy, but I was exhausted. Since then, I have been relieved. There is always a way to solve everything. It is not a good thing to worry too much about the troubles that have not yet come."

Mrs. Guo's words were like a bucket of cold water that woke Du Jingyi up.

Maybe she also feels in her heart that she is not worthy of this high position, so she is always worried about this and that. But if you think about it from another perspective, she should actually loosen up a little.

So, she thanked Mrs. Guo with great gratitude.

"Thank you, Grandma Guo, for your advice. I was thinking in the wrong direction."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Young people have little experience, so they think everything is full of difficulties. When you reach my age, you will understand and just be more open-minded."

Mrs. Guo's comfort made Du Jingyi feel much more relaxed.

After returning to the general's mansion, he rushed into the yard where the children were. The Du couple were playing with their brothers. When they saw Du Jingyi coming back, they smiled and said.

"I'm glad you're back. I thought you and your wife would come back together."

"General, I'm afraid it will be a little late. My daughter should go wash up and change clothes first. We will celebrate Brother Tai'er's birthday together later."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll get some food to feed the children first. Then we can eat later without worrying about it."

"It's up to mother to decide."

After kissing the children's foreheads one by one, Du Jingyi returned to Xitang Courtyard exhausted.

Shuxiu had prepared the hot water early. After Du Jingyi returned, he immediately went into the ear room and put himself comfortably in the bathtub. After taking a few deep breaths, he felt that the worries of the day were reduced.

Maybe because I got up early, I felt a little drowsy after taking a bath.

With Shuxiu and Yingtao by her side, she closed her eyes and took a rest, trying to empty her mind as much as possible and focus only on the present.

When night fell, Gu Shaoyu returned from the imperial city in official uniform. As soon as he entered the main house, he saw Du Jingyi who had just washed up. She had a slender figure, a fragrant and fair body, and was very beautiful.
