Chapter 69 Noble Lady Xi
The queen was stunned for a moment: "Xi? It's..."
"It's just to show the good intention of Chongxi Leisheng."
The queen was really stunned: "This word is a bit heavy. I think it would be better to use the word Ning, which also means peace. Mr. Shen has just suffered a serious injury, so why not use..."
Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Ling glanced at her.
The queen's heart trembled: "Mr. Shen is a good person and a well-behaved person. It is only right that he should be compensated for the great disaster he suffered this time. Then I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it."
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Ling said and stood up.
I came here at this hour, but I didn't stay overnight.
"Your Majesty, your concubine respectfully bids you farewell." The Queen felt distressed but helpless. Her only consolation was that Concubine Yu had fallen out of favor from now on, and her future would not be much better than it was now.
The biggest threat in the harem is Concubine Yu, mainly because she is the only person in the palace with two children.
Jinzhi watched the queen reach out to help her: "This Mr. Shen..."
"From now on, she will be Concubine Xi." The Queen said expressionlessly, "The Emperor is also praising her. Now the Emperor is feeling sorry for her, so he wants to compensate her. He didn't touch Concubine Yu, probably to appease her and tell her not to cause trouble in the future. But it will be difficult to have children, so let it be. Being favored but without children, she won't be the next Concubine Yu."
As long as she doesn't threaten the Queen's position like Concubine Tong Yu, the Queen has nothing to fear. She had decided before that she would never touch Chen Qing in the future. She would have to use Chen Qing to curry favor with the Emperor, as she would be useful in the future.
Jinzhi nodded and said nothing more.
Xuanyuan Ling mentioned the Queen and she responded without any neglect. The fact that she was promoted two ranks at a time would make the harem look at her with awe.
Others who were not very careful didn't know, they only knew that Mr. Shen was arrested and beaten by Concubine Yu for some reason while he was still under house arrest. It was said that he was half dead.
Everyone was still watching the fun when news came that Shen Liangren had been promoted. Not only promoted, but promoted twice. For a moment, some people wondered if Shen Liangren was going to die, and that the emperor was promoting her to keep her alive?
But these few days have passed, and there is no news that Shen Liangren is gone.
Originally, she should have been moved out of Zhaohua Palace, but the queen wanted to let Chen Qing go with peace of mind this time. Thinking that Chen Qing specifically refused to move to another palace last time, and Xuanyuan Ling specifically pointed out Concubine Xi of Zhaohua Palace, the matter was dropped.
The Queen even specially ordered people to renovate the Zhaohua Palace, and she said it in a nice way, saying that while the noble lady was still recovering from her injuries, she would be happy to see the Zhaohua Palace renovated.
But this person was in Zhongyu Palace. When Concubine Yu heard this, she felt that the Queen was targeting her and it was a blatant mockery.
She originally thought that even if the emperor promoted Shen Qing, he would not promote her to a high level, but Shen Qing was promoted to a higher position, and even promoted two levels.
At this time, she didn't know that Chen Qing had a title. Chen Qing didn't return to Zhaohua Palace and the queen didn't let anyone spread the news. It was obvious that she wanted to promote Chen Qing.
Concubine Yu was both heartbroken and angry. She cried at night thinking of Xuanyuan Ling, and during the day her eyes stared at the side hall as if she would never close. She felt miserable and gloomy. The Emperor had honored Chen Qing, but the Empress had made such a fuss. A noble lady also made such a big fuss and even specially renovated Zhaohua Palace. It was obviously a slap in her face.
The emperor should have come to see her, so why didn’t he come?
Shen Qing still lives in the side hall, and the imperial physician said it would be better not to move him for the time being.
First, news came over that her lover had been promoted to a noble. Chunhua and Fangyun were not very happy to hear it, and even felt a little sad. However, it was indeed a good thing and they should not be depressed.
After the rules were finalized, the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department rushed to congratulate Chen Qing. The Queen ordered that the news of the title not be spread, but she also told people outside the Imperial Household Department not to tell it. However, Concubine Xi was recovering from her injuries, so she had to know it to make her feel at ease.
So when the eunuch who announced the good news came, he said to Shen Qing: "This servant greets the noble lady Xi."
Shen Qing had been lying down for a few days. Now, according to the imperial physician, he could lie down halfway on a cushion: "Thank you, eunuch, for making this trip." He paused: "I didn't hear of the title before."
The eunuch immediately said happily, "The Queen Mother ordered that the imperial decree should be issued after Concubine Xi returns to Zhaohua Palace, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared the congratulatory clothes for Concubine Xi, so I came here to announce the good news."
"Which Xi character?"
The eunuch said, "The emperor is personally visiting Japan, and he values Xi's prosperity. Your Excellency is very happy."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't it a great joy? Thank you for the good news, eunuch."
Chunhua immediately gave a purse.
The eunuch felt it was very heavy as soon as he received it. He had heard in the past that Chen Liangren of Zhaohua Palace was not of high rank but was generous and never stingy with rewards. He made a special trip today and it was indeed worthwhile.
After saying a bunch of auspicious words, the eunuch left.
After the people left, Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, then smiled and shook his head, Chongxi Leisheng? The meaning of "sages of wisdom and virtue, the world is prosperous and peaceful", how can it be used to give a woman a title? The eunuch said that he was very happy.
With such a title, not to mention the noble ladies, even the concubines could not act rashly in front of her.
So this is: "Keeping me as a mascot?"
That being said, Shen Qing knew that this was Xuanyuan Ling's compensation for her not having children in the future. Most people would naturally be depressed if they didn't have children in the future, but she was not depressed at all.
Although she had used contraception before to protect the queen, she really didn't want to have children.
She knew that if women in the harem didn't give birth to children, their lives would be like this, but she was not without a way out. After all, Chu Linglong had not entered the palace yet, so it was still early.
She thought that she could fight with him, after all, she was not hard-hearted enough to risk her child for her future. Deep down, she still felt that a child should be the fruit of love. What kind of love was there between her and Xuanyuan Ling?
Now that she had completely given up the idea and didn't have to worry about whether or not to have a child, she couldn't say she was sad, but instead felt relieved. After all, she was really pregnant, and she couldn't just get rid of the child. No matter how hard it was to stick to her bottom line, it would always be different with a child. The harem was so torturous, didn't she hate Concubine Yu?
It is impossible not to hate when being beaten. If you hate, you will think about hurting others. She is afraid that one day, she will really be assimilated by this harem and change like this. What if she wants to use the child for something in the future? Thinking about it now, she can't accept it, but what if she changes in the future?
If you don’t have children, at least you won’t use them to do anything, which is good.
Xuanyuan Ling did not enter the harem for the next few days, but Zhao Hai came to check on Shen Qing from time to time.
When the imperial physician said that Shen Qing could now move, Shen Qing immediately said that he wanted to move back to Zhaohua Palace.
She didn't like staying in Zhongyu Palace anyway, and Xuanyuan Ling had expected her to be like this. After all, Xuanyuan Ling couldn't stand Chen Qing being at a disadvantage. She had lived in Zhongyu Palace for so long and had been with Concubine Yu day and night. Even if they didn't meet, could these two people still get along?
When Xuanyuan Ling heard Zhao Hai's report of her intention, she immediately asked someone to send her back.
But when I returned this time, Zhaohua Palace had changed a lot.
