Chapter 124 Pick Up
According to the will of Queen Tongjia, the fourth prince Yinzhen and the eighth prince Yinsi were to be raised by Concubine Jin from now on. Kangxi even issued another decree, saying that since Concubine Jin was now raising two princes, it was inappropriate for her to remain as a concubine, so she was promoted to a higher position.
With this promotion, Kangxi naturally did not forget to give Yuying a higher banner. With a wave of his hand, Kangxi added Yuying to the Bordered Yellow Banner.
The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince were both given to Concubine Jin?
Even Concubine Jin suddenly became Concubine Jin?
What's the logic behind this? Why does Concubine Jin get all the good things in the world?
Everyone in the harem was dumbfounded. Even the Empress Dowager, who had been living out her days in Shoukang Palace without caring about worldly affairs, was alarmed. She talked to Concubine Xuan and said that if the Grand Empress Dowager was still alive, she would definitely not let the Emperor act like this.
There seems to be nostalgia in the tone.
Yuying saw Liang Jiugong off and stood there holding the imperial edict.
Everyone in Yongshou Palace, from the master to the servants, was stunned. Yuying was still in a trance. She pointed at herself and said, "I... I will become Concubine Jin now?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a mechanism was opened. The people who were dumbfounded just now came forward and surrounded Yuying.
"That's great, madam. From now on, we in Yongshou Palace will also have a prince."
"Your Majesty, I have always said that the Emperor treats you differently!"
Qing Tao seemed to speak with pride, and the others nodded in agreement.
Even Yuying couldn't help but smile. After all, being named a concubine was an unexpected surprise.
"Okay, everyone, don't just be happy. As you all heard just now, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince will have to live in our palace from now on. Let's go and clean up the two best rooms in Yongshou Palace so that they can live in them."
"Yes, madam."
Everyone responded in unison, all of them in high spirits.
Yuying coughed twice again, and when she saw everyone was looking at her, she said excitedly, "Today is a happy event for our Yongshou Palace, and everyone will get a reward!"
"Qingtao, go and give everyone three months' salary."
As soon as Yuying finished speaking, cheers even louder than before broke out.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to work. We'll go to Chengqian Palace to pick someone up early tomorrow morning."
Different from the joyful atmosphere in Yongshou Palace, Yonghe Palace was eerily quiet at this moment.
No one dared to come in and clean up the debris scattered all over the hall. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Even Jinzhu, who was usually the most eloquent, stammered and looked at Concubine De with a pale face.
At this moment, Concubine De was panting and sitting on the couch. She had just vented her anger for a while, but she was still angry.
"Bang--"
She slammed the low table on the couch and almost squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Tong Jia! You will not die well!"
"Empress!" Jinzhu exclaimed.
Even if you are angry, can you say such treasonous words? If the emperor knows about it, you will be finished.
Jinzhu looked around in panic. Fortunately, although there were many people in the palace, they were all their confidants in Yonghe Palace, and there was no possibility of leaking this information.
Defei was suddenly interrupted by Jinzhu and looked at her unhappily. Seeing the panic in Jinzhu's eyes, she realized what she had just said.
Defei's sharp eyes swept across everyone, and those who were swept trembled slightly and did not dare to look at Defei.
De Fei was satisfied. "Okay, clean up the palace. Jin Zhu, follow me."
Defei walked out of the palace first, and Jinzhu hurriedly followed.
Seeing the two disappear from sight, the others breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped a disaster, and the next second, everyone started to move. Although they didn't know where the queen had gone, nor when she would come back, if the palace was not cleaned up before the queen came back, they would surely be doomed.
Jinzhu followed Concubine De and walked out of the gate of Yonghe Palace.
Seeing that Concubine De's complexion seemed to have recovered, Jinzhu then asked cautiously: "Madam, where are we going?"
"Go to Chengqian Palace." Defei spat out a few words coldly.
"Empress? Why are we going to Chengqian Palace?" Now that the Emperor's decree has spread throughout the harem, could it be that Your Majesty is going to snatch the Fourth Prince away before Concubine Jin?
"I'm going to find Yinzhen and tell him that I'm his biological mother. I don't believe that he would rather go to a concubine who has nothing to do with him than go back to his biological mother." It must be Tong Jia who is interfering.
Jinzhu just felt that her queen was mad with anger. How could she do such an impulsive thing?
She quickly stepped forward to stop Concubine De, "Your Majesty! Let's go back. The Emperor will be unhappy if you do this."
Defei glanced at Jinzhu and said, "I must see Yinzhen today. Jinzhu, if you stop me, I will pretend that you don't exist from now on."
Jinzhu's open hand shrank slightly. She looked at Concubine De and finally made up her mind: "Your Majesty, I will go with you."
The master and servant arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace.
The palace gate was open, with only two guards with swords guarding the door.
Defei stepped forward and introduced herself: "I am Defei of Yonghe Palace, and I want to see the Fourth Prince."
The guard drew his knife and placed it across the door, not allowing Concubine De to take even a single step forward.
"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort."
"Please go back, Concubine De. The Emperor has ordered that no one except Concubine Jin can set foot in Chengqian Palace."
Seeing that Concubine De still wanted to move forward, the two guards took a few steps back, fearing that the knives in their hands would hit Concubine De.
The two of them retreated to the threshold.
"Your Majesty, we are only following your orders. Please don't make things difficult for us two."
The two of them stood at the threshold and did not take a step back, even though Concubine De was still walking forward.
Defei stopped only a palm's width away from the broadsword. Seeing that the two men did not move at all, Defei's face seemed to twist for a moment.
But in the blink of an eye, it seemed like just an illusion.
Looking at the gate of Chengqian Palace just around the corner, Concubine De finally turned around angrily, "Jinzhu, let's go back to the palace."
Jinzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the queen did not intend to force her way in.
The second day.
Almost all the staff of Yongshou Palace went out. Yuying thought that the two children had a lot of stuff, so she simply called everyone up to move the stuff.
Yuying's sedan chair was in the front, followed by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs, looking very impressive.
That’s right, Concubine Jin can now be regarded as the most glorious person in the palace.
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of Chengqian Palace, and Qingtao helped Yuying get off the sedan chair.
The two ruthless guards who had stopped Concubine De from entering yesterday hurried forward to greet Yuying.
"My lady, you are here."
Yuying nodded, but did not go in immediately.
Qing Tao asked curiously, "Madam, what are you looking at? Let's go in."
Yuying patted Qingtao's hand, looked at the place not far away, and called out without any emotion: "Sister Defei."
Concubine De came over with Jinzhu.
Qingtao, Qingdai, Luchen and others protected Yuying behind them, and even Xiao Zhuozi and others were about to come forward.
Seeing this, Concubine De smiled gently and said, "Don't be nervous, sister."
