Chapter 306 Promotion
The Queen Mother was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
She said patiently, "I'm not stopping you from doting on her, but you can't ignore the other concubines in the harem. It's not the lack of wealth that's worrying, but the inequality. Do you need me to tell you more?"
Rong Yu was like a rebellious child: "I don't care, I want her. If you force me again, I will directly make Ru Shui the queen!"
The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
"Your position as queen is child's play! What's more, she is a foreigner! Don't even think about marrying a foreigner to become queen!"
Rong Yu's anger was also aroused, and he said without restraint:
"Okay, okay! Being the emperor is so boring. Since you don't want Ru Shui to be the queen, then no one else can be the queen!
I will go back now and promote Ru Shui to Imperial Noble Consort. I don’t see who dares to stop me!”
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she kept shaking her head. Nanny Chang hurried to calm her down, "The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are devoted to you. How could you..."
Rong Yu also had no good feelings towards Nanny Chang, so he interrupted, "Mother, it's best not to see Ru Shui again unless necessary."
Having said that, he pulled Bai Rushui up and left the Changshou Palace.
Nanny Chang looked at the emperor's back and was so anxious that her heart was about to smoke.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be angry about the Emperor's nonsense. Take care of yourself."
"Evil creature! He's going to piss me off to death!"
"From childhood to adulthood, I have always been dependent on him for everything. Now, for a foreign girl, he has completely disregarded our mother-son relationship!"
Nanny Chang: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is still young and doesn't understand your painstaking efforts! Please don't bother with him!"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "He's already a father, and he's still a kid? I think he's just trying to piss off an old woman like me to death!"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Alright, he can confer titles on whomever he wants. I don't care! Let the Rong family's ancestors take care of it!"
"Empress Dowager, please don't say such angry words. What will the Emperor do without you?"
The Queen Mother seemed to see clearly, and her anger dropped significantly.
"The more you control, the more hatred there is. Just let him be!"
The news that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had a big quarrel in Changshou Palace spread throughout the palace in an instant.
As a result, the words Rongyu said also spread widely.
Concubine Li Shufei really couldn't sit still this time. The emperor was now crazy about this foreign woman.
Everyone in the harem had different thoughts.
Rong Yu doesn't care what others think. He just wants Bai Rushui to become the most honorable woman in the harem.
The woman he deeply loves wants the best. Rong Ye can be so successful with a man, so why can't he!
Is he not as good as the second one?
After he returned, he immediately issued an edict to promote Bai Rushui to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort Ru.
Everyone in Changhua Palace was naturally happy, and Xiao Ling's status also rose with the tide.
In the palace, people flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and she has suffered a lot over the years. Now she has finally turned things around.
She looked at Concubine Ru with a happy face, but she remained indifferent, as if this imperial concubine belonged to someone else.
Rongyu came to Changhua Palace as soon as he finished his court session. He saw Bai Rushui was still reading and ignoring him, but he was not angry. He quietly walked behind her and hugged her.
"Did you receive my order?"
"Do you like it?"
Bai Rushui said calmly, "It's just a personal possession, but thank you, Your Majesty."
Rongyu was not surprised by her answer, but was very happy.
He rewarded many of the concubines in the harem with precious jewels and ornaments that they envied this month, but his imperial concubine didn't even look at them.
It turns out that the fairies in heaven are not worthy of these mundane creatures.
How could those vulgar people understand her fairy? What was the title of Imperial Concubine? Even the title of Queen was not enough to keep his exiled fairy.
The Empress Dowager thought that the Emperor was just speaking in anger, but who knew that he would actually promote Bai Rushui to the position of Imperial Noble Consort. She was so angry that she immediately fell ill.
When the emperor heard about it, he simply sent the imperial physician to take a look.
After this incident, no one in the harem dared to look down on the imperial concubine anymore.
Now that she was in constant favor, no one knew what to do. Someone suggested that everyone go and find Concubine Li Shu.
But even Concubine Li Shu stayed indoors and refused to see visitors to protect herself. Now the concubines of lower ranks in the harem were even more cautious, fearing that this foreign woman would bully them.
But after waiting for a while, the palace was still calm. Not only did the imperial concubine not summon anyone, she also ordered that no one should disturb her unless necessary.
Bai Rushui felt that this was the only advantage of the position of Imperial Noble Consort, it brought more peace and tranquility.
Of course, the impeachment of the previous dynasty floated on Rongyu's desk like snowflakes every day.
He simply ignored it, impeached people at will but did not change them.
When the news reached the northern border, Xie Shuangbai suspected he had made a mistake, but then he thought, this emperor is really crazy. It's not surprising that he would do such a thing.
He took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"Rongye, your big brother is really... hard to describe. I think even if we do nothing, he will kill himself."
After knowing this, Rong Ye was too lazy to comment. He felt that Xie Shuangbai was right.
If they don't do anything, his stupid older brother will probably kill himself.
He has never liked others disobeying him since he was a child. He is impulsive and arrogant. Although he is obviously not smart and narrow-minded, he always thinks he is the best.
It looked like he just had to wait.
Rong Ye: "Let's wait and see what happens. The court is impeaching the Nanzhao woman everywhere now, and he probably doesn't have the energy to monitor me. This Nanzhao woman may be a good thing for the Northern Territory."
"This Nanzhao girl is truly pitiful," he asked curiously, "Is she really so beautiful that she could have captivated the Emperor to this degree?"
Xie Shuangbai has heard a lot of rumors about the Saint of Nanzhao recently. The most exaggerated one is about her stunning beauty.
Now it seems to be true.
He looked at Rong Ye: "Are you not interested in seeing this Nanzhao woman?"
Rong Ye said calmly: "No matter how beautiful she is, she is not you."
Xie Shuangbai looked at him and smiled, and he admitted that his hair had been smoothed over.
He smiled and said, "Alright, no matter the Emperor or the Nanzhao girl, they can't stop us from enjoying delicious food!"
"I want to eat barbecue."
They haven't had barbecue since they came back from the south, and Rong Ye really wants to.
"Okay, let's have barbecue tonight."
That night, an extremely tempting fragrance wafted from the palace, attracting passers-by to stop and look.
Rong Ye no longer cared about what happened in the capital.
He is now focusing on developing the northern border. Only when he becomes strong can he have the capital to compete with Rongyu.
Looking at the gold and silver piled up in the warehouse, he knew that he had succeeded in following Xie Shuangbai's advice to develop the border trade zone.
Today, a small border trade zone drives the entire northern border.
Even Fencheng has become extremely prosperous, and prices of goods and housing have risen several times.
He had to issue a decree overnight to control the slowly rising prices.
In addition, Rongye vigorously promoted improved varieties, and now there are very few people in the North who have no food to eat.
Both of them were thinking about how to make the North more prosperous.
Hard work pays off.
The North also became increasingly prosperous in the hands of the two.
