Chapter 468 Self-harm
Chen Qing had no strength left at this moment, and just wanted to lie still, but seeing Xuanyuan Ling's excited and complicated silly look while holding the child, and then looking at her little daughter, she glanced at her twice, and the little girl closed her eyes, and her heart softened.
She also has a son and a daughter, which is great.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Chen Qing and knew that she was tired. He had also seen the child. The main concern now was Chen Qing's body. It would be fine after the child was born safely, so he handed the child to the arranged wet nurse to take care of it. Chen Qing could not move for a while and had to rest for an hour or so. Xuanyuan Ling asked someone to bring some warm water to Chen Qing. She was holding it in and sweating just now, so she must have done it during the day.
The servants were all sent away, and Xuanyuan Ling was alone with Shen Qing for a while: "You rest first."
There was still some time before dawn. Shen Qing had not slept for most of the night and had exerted a lot of effort. He was very tired, so he naturally closed his eyes and rested.
Xuanyuan Ling sat beside her and watched her for a while, feeling distressed at her still pale face. At this time, Zhao Hai came in.
Xuanyuan Ling went out again and told the servants to take care of Shen Qing. After she rested for an hour or so, her body needed to be washed and her bedding needed to be changed, but she couldn't move now.
When they got outside, Zhao Hai asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to know the six palaces now?"
Shen Qing gave birth at night. Originally, after Shen Qing gave birth, everyone in the harem should have known about it, and then the concubines should have come to care for her while she gave birth. However, those of lower status were not qualified to come to see Shen Qing. However, Defei should have come, but because Xuanyuan Ling had no intention of coming out from the beginning, Zhao Hai outside knew about it but did not dare to report it. He did not dare to report it. If he reported that Defei had come and the Emperor did not come out, then it would definitely be better to have less trouble than more.
Now that the baby has been born, I decided not to report it and would just ask the Emperor.
It was natural to notify them now. Xuanyuan Ling nodded and said, "Give them rewards. The Zhaohua Palace will double their service. You can handle the rest of the palaces as you wish."
Zhao Hai was dumbfounded. What a huge reward! It was a reward from the entire palace. Wow, this little princess was so blessed.
The rewards cannot represent the emperor's degree of happiness, but they are enough to show how much the emperor cares. It is an indisputable fact that princesses are not as noble as princes, but this little princess, let alone other princesses, the level of rewards she received is so high that it surpasses that of other princes.
Xuanyuan Ling then continued, "Draft an edict to promote Consort Xian to Noble Consort, with the title still Xi. Wait until she wakes up before issuing the edict."
Zhao Hai was no longer surprised, but rather felt a little emotional.
Now that the queen has been deposed, Concubine Xi is truly the number one person in the harem.
This night was just an ordinary night for everyone else, but after that night, the next day, before the concubines in the harem had even had breakfast, news came one after another: Concubine Xian had given birth, Concubine Xian had given birth to a princess, Concubine Xian was promoted to Concubine Xi, and the Emperor bestowed a reward, a huge reward.
In the end, it was like bombing a fish pond.
Originally, it was nothing for other servants that Concubine Xi gave birth to a child, but the Emperor gave the entire palace as a reward, so the entire palace had to express gratitude and congratulate Concubine Xi on the birth of a princess.
After hearing the news from Concubine De, she was also going to go see Chen Qing, but now she had to pay a visit. Chen Qing's status was higher than hers, so she also prepared gifts. Chen Qing had just given birth, so she naturally would not stay long. She just visited Chen Qing and then went back. As for the other concubines, they had to wait until Chen Qing was out of confinement before they could pay a visit.
Of course, people like Chu Linglong were not allowed to come to the house. She also learned about Shen Qing's childbirth and then the title of Imperial Concubine during her house arrest. It was nothing to know, so she just asked calmly as before: "What did Concubine Zhou do today?"
There is nothing else.
What did Concubine Zhou do today?
Lady Zhou was injured today.
When she learned that the emperor promoted Shen Qing to the rank of noble concubine and gave a great reward to the entire palace because of this, she was silent at first. Then after a while, when Caiping looked again, she found that there were several bloody holes on Concubine Zhou's arm, and the bloody hairpin was still in Concubine Zhou's hand. The bloody holes on her arm were clearly caused by her using the hairpin. How much strength and cruelty did it take to hurt herself like this?
Caiping had felt that Concubine Zhou was wrong when she harmed Chu Linglong, but now, she was even hurting herself. She was increasingly unable to understand what was going on, but Concubine Zhou's thoughts were becoming more and more terrifying.
She had nothing to persuade Concubine Zhou anymore, so she just treated Concubine Zhou's injuries with some fear. During this time, Concubine Zhou looked at her injuries without even frowning, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.
