After the eunuch beside the Empress Dowager came out from the Crown Princess, he rushed towards the concubine.
When he arrived in front of the concubine's palace, he calmed himself down before stepping in.
He stood in the palace, cleared his throat, unfolded the imperial edict, and read aloud in a shrill voice:
"I follow the Empress Dowager's benevolent instructions.
The Crown Prince's concubine, gentle, virtuous, and outstanding in virtue.
The birth of the eldest prince today adds blood to the royal family, which is indeed a great achievement.
She was immediately canonized as Shufei and granted the residence of Zhaochun Palace.
He was given the title "Chun" to highlight his special achievements.
I hope Concubine Shu will maintain a pure and kind heart and be respectful and dignified.
In the future, you need to abide by your duties, be diligent and respectful.
To produce offspring for the royal family and add glory to the royal family.
So decreed."
After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch hurriedly placed it respectfully in Concubine Shu's hand, and a flattering smile instantly appeared on his face.
The smile seemed to squeeze all the wrinkles on the face together.
He bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations to Concubine Chun Shu, congratulations to Concubine Chun Shu, you are the only one in the palace who has been granted a title by His Majesty."
After Su Jingyao received the imperial edict, she slowly stood up with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Thank you for your hard work today, Miaoyue, give me some money for tea."
After saying that, Miaoyun quickly stepped forward, took out a handful of golden melon seeds, and handed them steadily to the eunuch.
The eunuch's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took it with both hands, nodding and bowing repeatedly.
"I thank the Concubine Shu. I have other imperial decrees to read, so I will withdraw now."
Having said that, he backed away and slowly left the palace.
After the canonization, Su Jingyao walked lightly to the dressing table.
She changed into a more gorgeous palace dress. The silk threads on the dress sparkled brightly under the candlelight, and every stitch and thread spoke of royal nobility.
All the hair was neatly tied up without a single strand out of place, and a few gold hairpins inlaid with gemstones embellished it perfectly.
It makes her look even more noble and gorgeous, like a blooming peony, graceful and elegant, outshining all the other beauties.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao straightened her back and led the palace maids from Xiyan Palace to Zhaochun Palace in a mighty procession.
She sat upright on a sedan chair carried by twelve people, her eyes slightly closed, her expression calm and majestic.
On the way from the East Palace to the Zhaochun Palace, there is a long street. She opened her eyes and looked into the distance. The long street seemed to have no end.
But there was a kind of determination in Su Jingyao's eyes, as if she saw her long journey to the highest position from this road, and there was a gleam in her eyes.
Soon, the sedan chair stopped steadily in front of Zhaochun Palace.
When Su Jingyao stepped out of the sedan chair and entered Zhaochun Palace, she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
As soon as you come in, you will see a very spacious courtyard with well-arranged rockery and water and unique pavilions and towers.
It is only February now and the flowers have not yet bloomed, but in the yard the flowers carefully cultivated in the greenhouse are competing with each other in beauty and exuding fragrance.
Walking into the palace, you will see an even more magnificent scene.
All the belongings of the previous concubine have been taken away, and the current Zhaochun Palace has been redecorated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Su Jingyao looked around, her eyes falling on the treasures and calligraphy and paintings.
She knew that these were all precious items that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had taken out from the warehouse at Jun Zechen's order.
Su Jingyao showed a satisfied smile.
I don’t know how long I will live in this Zhaochun Palace. I will renovate it according to my own preferences later.
Su Jingyao walked towards the seat in the hall, and every step she took was accompanied by an innate noble temperament.
After she was seated safely, he raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing majesty.
Afterwards, all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down in unison like a tide, their movements in unison.
They all said in unison: "Your servants/servants pay their respects to Her Majesty Consort Chun Shu, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
Their voices echoed in the hall with awe and respect.
Su Jingyao waved her hand gently, opened her red lips, and said lightly: "Well, everyone get up." Her voice was not loud, but it was majestic.
Then, she turned her gaze to Li Ma Ma who was standing beside her, and nodded slightly, saying, "Li Ma Ma, today I am being honored, and all the palace maids in Zhaochun Palace will be rewarded."
Madam Li quickly responded respectfully, "Yes, Master."
Su Jingyao continued slowly, "From now on, the head madam of Zhaochun Palace will be Madam Li, the chief eunuch will be Xilu who has followed me from the Eastern Palace, and my personal maids will be Miaoyun, Miaoxia, Miaoyue and Miaoxue."
Her eyes swept over them one by one, full of trust.
Then she looked around at the people below.
He said solemnly: "Except for them, there are now 45 palace maids and 25 eunuchs in Zhaochun Palace. In this palace, everyone has the opportunity to be promoted as long as they perform well."
"When you were assigned here, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already determined your rank, but in this palace, as long as you don't perform well, your rank will be replaced at any time, and those who perform well can take your place."
There was a sharpness in her eyes.
In the harem, the head nanny of a palace and the personal maid of the main concubine of a palace are all female officials with ranks, while the other maids are divided into first, second and third grades.
After Su Jingyao finished speaking, everyone below looked solemn and responded in unison: "Yes, Madam."
Su Jingyao gave some more instructions and finally rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
"I am also tired today. You all should withdraw and do your own things."
After all the palace people left, the palace suddenly became much emptier.
Only Li Ma, Xilu, Miaoyun and others were left.
