Chapter 331: The Imperial Concubine

Although that is what she said, Yun Qin did not think that Huo Jinchi would make a big fuss. Maybe he would just criticize the court officials and force a few old guys to retire and return home.

There was indeed no movement in the first few days, except that Yunqin's birth date and horoscope were sent to the National Temple.

When talking about birth date, there is a small episode.

Yun Qin knew the birthday of this body. Although the month and date were the same as her own birthday, the time was different.

When writing her eight characters, she hesitated for a moment, but still wrote down her original eight characters.

After all, from the moment it was transmitted, this body completely belonged to her.

In Huo Jinchi's view, sending the horoscope was just a formality. No matter what the result was, Yun Qin could only be his lucky star.

So when the monk's verdict was delivered, Huo Jinchi did not even read it at first. He just said to Xu An, "Spread this matter and say that the master has made a judgment that Concubine Xi is not a calamity star, but a lucky star for me and the Great Zhou."

Of course, I had explained this matter to the monks long ago. Since I was staying at the Guo Temple, I usually came into contact with high-ranking officials and nobles. Naturally, I was very sensible about this matter and knew what to say and what not to say.

Xu An received the order and quickly went down to make arrangements. At this time, Huo Jinchi looked at the verdict on the side, took it, unfolded it and took a look.

At a glance, Hawking Chi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Written on a thin piece of paper was the following: "Your Majesty's fate is extremely noble. Although there are many twists and turns, she will eventually be blessed with good fortune. Her fate is ruled by the star of heaven and auspicious stars. She will be extremely wealthy, have children and grandchildren, and die peacefully at an old age."

"I, a poor monk, observed the sky at night and found that the star Tianyue was entering the Heart Constellation, which was of great benefit to Ziwei. The emperor's words about the lucky star were not empty words."

Hawking didn't even pay attention to the last sentence, his eyes only stayed on the four words "both sons and grandsons are complete".

Thinking of Yun Qin's current physical condition and the previous discussion with Jiang Yuanzheng, his fingers holding the letter kept tightening.

What do you mean by a high monk? He is just a fraud who is trying to steal the reputation!

Huo Jinchi was so angry that he wanted to crumple the letter in his hand, but as soon as he wrinkled it, he quickly withdrew his hand and flattened the letter in his hand again.

Even if the eminent monk was really a fraud, the verdict was extremely good. He naturally hoped that Yun Qin's life would be as beautiful and smooth as the verdict said.

He smoothed the letter carefully and tucked it between the pages of the book.

As for the fact that Yunqin was a lucky star, Huo Jinchi had no doubt at all. He felt that Aqin was a gift from God to him.

It’s a pity that Aqin is a lucky star to him, but he may not be a lucky star to Aqin.

Thinking of this, Huo Jinchi's eyes dimmed a little, and then became firmer. He took out a piece of paper, unfolded it, and began to write the imperial edict himself.

The news that Yun Qin was a lucky star predicted by the eminent monk, and not some kind of bewitching evil star, spread quickly and indeed changed the opinions of some people.

After all, when Qin Tianjian was confused and entered the heart constellation, he did not directly point to Concubine Xi, but the monk's assertion was irrefutable.

Of course, some people don't believe it, because the timing is too coincidental. Besides, how could a monk in a national temple know Xipin's fate?

This was clearly intentional.

Then someone directly questioned the emperor.

——

Yun Qin had just gotten up when someone raised an objection during the morning court session.

The Queen was not in the palace, and she became even more lazy. If Rong Xin had not been afraid that the Emperor would come over early in the morning and have breakfast with her, and urged her to get up, Yun Qin would have probably slept for a while longer.

She's dressed and is still doing her makeup.

Dan Xue suddenly walked in, "Master, someone has come to announce the emperor's order."

When Yun Qin heard this, she glanced at Rong Xin and then quickly stood up.

As soon as I walked outside, Xiao Dezi came in with his people.

"The Queen is very happy!" he said with a smile.

Yun Qin glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, somewhat confused.

Xiao Dezi did not explain, but unfolded the imperial edict, "Your Majesty, please listen to my command."

Yun Qin leaned over and knelt.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Concubine Xi is respectful, gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. She is my lucky star and the country's lucky star. I now promote her to the rank of Zhaoyi to show my grace."

Zhaoyi?

Yun Qin looked up in surprise and suddenly understood what Huo Jinchi meant when he said that he would never let her suffer any injustice.

Above Zhaoyi were the positions of concubine and noble concubine, and because she had a title, she did not need to perform grand ceremonies even to the four concubines.

Xiao Dezi's face was also full of joy, "Empress Zhaoyi, please accept the decree and thank you."

Yun Qin glanced at the imperial edict that was handed to her, but did not take it immediately. Instead, she asked Xiao Dezi, "I wonder what position Concubine Shen was promoted to?"

Xiao Dezi was stunned by this question, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty? The Emperor only promoted you today."

"Your Majesty, please accept the order first." He said, and handed the imperial edict forward, indicating that she should accept it quickly.

Yun Qin finally came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to express her gratitude.

Afterwards, Yunqin stood up and said to Xiao Dezi, "Thank you, eunuch."

Without her saying anything, Rong Xin handed over the purse. Although they were all family and there was no need to be so polite, the formalities still had to be followed.

"Of course I will accept this first gift of wedding money." Then he bowed and said, "I haven't congratulated the queen yet."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

After a brief greeting, Xiao Dezi had to go back and report, so he left.

Only then did everyone in the hall rejoice.

"Master, why is it so sudden? You are now Empress Zhaoyi?" Tingchun was surprised and happy.

Others had the same reaction.

Only Yun Qin did not show much joy on her face. She looked at the imperial edict in her hand and the familiar handwriting on it, and felt more confused.

Although she was surprised at the promotion, she was even more surprised why Concubine Shen didn't have the same?

In the past, even if she was promoted, Concubine Shen would be promoted right after her. Although Huo Jinchi wanted her to protect Concubine Shen, he never let Concubine Shen's status be too far away from hers.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the atmosphere in the hall became slightly heavy, and Rong Xin couldn't help but ask.

Yun Qin came back to her senses and shook her head quickly, "Nothing, nothing, I just feel that it's not real enough."

After much thought, perhaps the emperor just didn't find a suitable reason to promote Concubine Shen.

"It seems that the master is so happy that he has gone silly!" Tingchun said with a smile.

"You're still making up stories about me!" Yun Qin turned around and pinched her face.

Seeing her smile, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

Soon after, the emperor’s gifts arrived. Some were routine gifts, while others were obviously treasures taken from his private treasury.

The gift giver left, and Xiao Shunzi also brought news from the previous dynasty.

"I heard that the emperor blocked the imperial edict during his reign. Some people objected at the time, but the emperor said, 'You compare her with Zhao Zhaoyi all day long. How can you compare them when you are not of the same rank? Now, all the ministers can speak freely.'"

"Hearing what the emperor said, Master Lao Fang was so angry that he almost fainted."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Yun Qin also sneered. She really wanted to see the scene again and vent her anger.
