"Grandson thanks Queen Mam for helping me solve my problems."
"I don't know how to say good things about you. If you don't like the Imperial Concubine, why did you push her to the position of Queen?"
"It is because the position of Queen is not easy to sit on that I decided to let her occupy the position first. When the time is right, I will make Chengqing the Crown Prince and confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Consort Hui.
By then, when Chengqing becomes the crown prince, won’t Concubine Hui be the empress dowager?
I know that this is not right, but when I see Nianhulu, I think of what Ebilun did in the past. In addition, she is Oboi's adopted daughter, so I feel uncomfortable.
Besides, this was not a decision I made myself. It was proposed by that old guy Ebilun in order to atone for his sins. Now that he said so, I can't refuse, right?
Besides, I think Nianhulu is quite satisfied with this result. Chengqing is still young, so it doesn’t matter if she is the queen for ten years. She won’t have any children anyway, so she won’t affect Chengqing’s position.
When Xiaozhuang thought about it, she didn't care anymore. As long as it didn't affect the destiny of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi could do whatever he wanted. She didn't care.
"Princess, Your Majesty, Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong have arrived. I see the three princes are here too."
"Look at Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, how old are they? They're already messing around. The Cining Palace is quite far away from the Yikun Palace. What if they catch a cold?"
As Xiaozhuang spoke, she glared at Kangxi. Kangxi touched his nose and said nothing, thinking to himself, "Aren't the Cining Palace and the Yikun Palace next to each other? How far are they? Isn't the Queen Mother lying?"
"I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
"Chengqing and his brothers pay their respects to the Emperor and the ancestors."
"Hurry up and get up! I suddenly wanted to invite you to have dinner with me and meet my great-grandchildren. I made you come all this way."
"What are you saying, Grand Empress Dowager? I don't think it's a bother to come to the Cining Palace. Chengqing has been making a fuss recently about wanting to start school for his younger brothers. Please take care of him. I can't control him anymore."
Xiaozhuang looked at Chengqing in surprise. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were only that old, and Chengqing was actually going to teach them a lesson!
"Grandfather, it's not that Chengqing wants to teach his younger brothers. It's that they are too smart and eager to learn. They are the ones who want to learn on their own. As their good brother, how can Chengqing not support them?"
Seeing him talking nonsense in such a serious manner, Empress Xiaozhuang burst out laughing. She wanted to ask the twins how they showed their eagerness to learn, but her stomach was not cooperating and started to growl.
"Eat first, and then we'll talk."
"yes."
Tong Jia has never taken her eyes off the twins since she came in. The two children really look different as rumored, which is really strange.
Looking at Chengqing again, why did she like him more and more? How did Concubine Hui give birth to such a smart and lovable son? She also wanted to have one, but thinking of her own body and the concerns of her family, she instantly gave up this idea.
She would rather live an invisible life in the harem than give her family any hope of creating greater glory. It is enough for their Tongjia tribe to produce one queen. If they produce another one, they will be ruined sooner or later.
"Sister Hui, these are the gifts I prepared for all the princes. I personally selected them. If you don't mind, please accept them."
"Why would I mind? I thank you, sister."
Seeing that Mu Sili and Tong Jia got along very well, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang were very satisfied.
Concubine Nianhulu, who was in Yongshou Palace, also knew that Kangxi was taking them to Cining Palace. Her eyes were full of confusion and displeasure.
She was the future queen, and Kangxi's move was simply a slap in her face. Although the rumor outside said that it was Empress Xiaozhuang who ordered this, she knew that it was Kangxi who did it.
Unfortunately, she was in the wrong and did not dare to express her dissatisfaction. She could only bury it in her heart, thinking of settling accounts with Mu Sili and Tong Jia after the queen coronation ceremony.
The imperial edict of Kangxi to confer the title of empress came down, along with the decree to confer titles on the six palaces.
Mu Sili and Tong Jia were conferred the titles of Imperial Concubine, Ma Jia was conferred the title of Rongpin, and for the sake of Hesheli, Hesheli in Xianfu Palace was conferred the title of Hepin. There were also Anpin Li and Jingpin Wang Jia, who had long fallen out of favor but were of noble birth, as well as Duanpin Dong, who had a daughter.
Including Empress Niohuru, a total of seven concubines were promoted this time.
Ma Jia was not very happy about being promoted to concubine. She thought that she could at least get the position of concubine. After all, there were only four princes in the palace, and one of them was hers.
Who would have thought that Kangxi only gave her the title of concubine and called it a day? Although according to the rules she could not only be the master of a palace but also raise her own children, she had fallen out of favor and what mattered to her was her position.
But no one cared whether she was satisfied with her position, and the harem restored the system of paying respects.
When Mu Sili and Tong Jia brought all the concubines to pay their respects to Nianhulu, she felt very proud. Even if Kangxi still liked them, wouldn't they still have to pay their respects to her?
"Everyone, get up. Today is my first day as queen, so it's a bit grand. From now on, just keep it the same as before."
"yes."
Now that there was a queen, Mu Sili handed over the power of the six palaces to the queen, and she was happy and relieved.
Seeing that Mu Sili was so tactful, Nianhulu, who had already become the queen, did not feel embarrassed. She just muttered a few words and didn't take it to heart.
After knowing that Mu Sili had taken the initiative to hand over the power of the six palaces to the Queen, Xiaozhuang became even more satisfied with her.
Half a year later, the queen became seriously ill.
"What on earth is wrong with me? Why did I suddenly become ill, and it's so serious? I don't believe that my illness is sudden. Someone must have given me some medicine.
It's a pity that I only discovered I was being harmed when I was already at the end of my rope. I hate it. I hate the person behind this who harmed me, and I hate it even more for being so foolish as to believe I could influence the people in the harem."
Empress Nianhulu's eyes were full of regret. She regretted entering the palace. If she had not entered the palace, she would still be alive and well. How could she be living such a life worse than death now?
Unfortunately, the illness came like a mountain, leaving her no chance to find out who was plotting to harm her, and she could not bear it any longer.
"Your Majesty, I have been serving as Empress for the past six months. I believe I have fulfilled my duties as an Empress. But Your Majesty, do you owe me anything?"
"You are a good queen. I am sorry for you, but your health issues have nothing to do with me."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Kangxi had secretly drugged her, but if it wasn't Kangxi, who else could it be?
"Your Majesty, please explain this to me. I don't want to die in confusion."
Seeing her firm attitude, Kangxi no longer concealed the truth and told her directly that Ebilun had drugged her.
