Niuhulu felt that with Mu Sili's status as a concubine, she could at most become a royal concubine, and there was no way she could become the empress.
Therefore, she was looking forward to the day when Hongli ascended the throne and Mu Sili would bow her head and pay her respects in front of her. She felt excited just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, her plan failed because Mu Sili entered the palace first and was welcomed into the palace as the queen.
"Empress? How could she possibly become the Empress? She's just a concubine. Concubine, concubine, concubine. How can a concubine become the Empress who is so high and mighty?"
There was a rule in the Qing Dynasty that concubines could not be promoted to the main wife, and Princess Niuhulu looked very unhappy.
Now that Mu Sili has become the queen, even if Hongli successfully ascends the throne in the future, she will be one level lower than Mu Sili if she becomes the empress dowager, because Mu Sili is her mother, the empress dowager.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Gege, this is the Emperor's arrangement. I suspect that before his wife passed away, the Emperor had already decided to make Concubine Nian his principal wife.
But at that time the emperor was still a prince and had to follow the rules of the Qing Dynasty. Concubines could not be promoted to the main wife. Otherwise, how to explain why the emperor did not remarry for eight years?
The Emperor probably knew he would become the new Emperor long ago, so in order to prevent others from suppressing his Concubine Nian, he did not remarry, with the goal of making her the Empress.
The maid's words made Princess Nianhulu feel like she was struck by lightning. Mu Sili was favored, and if she became the queen one day, then she would have no chance of survival!
"Don't tell anyone about this. Since Concubine Nian has become the Queen, we should respect her. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the Fourth Prince."
"I understand."
Mo Yunxuan and Concubine Li stared at the front yard with resentful eyes.
"Your Highness... no, it's the Emperor. Even Nian's concubine has become the Empress, so what about me?
"I have been by your side for so many years and have given birth to three sons and one daughter. Shouldn't I be given the title of Imperial Noble Consort? At the very least, I should be given the title of Noble Consort, right?"
Concubine Li thought a lot, but she never thought that she was only given the title of concubine.
"This servant pays his respects to all the masters. I am here on the orders of the Emperor and the Empress to take you into the palace."
"Eunuch Su, please excuse me. Eunuch Su, do you know what rank the Emperor has assigned to us sisters?"
"I don't know, this matter was decided by the emperor himself. I was ordered to go out of the palace to bring you in, and I am not sure about your positions yet.
It's getting late, please move on, the Emperor is still waiting in the palace."
"Indeed, let's go, everyone follow this concubine into the palace, and don't break the rules."
"yes."
After entering the palace, they finally knew their status.
Concubine Li was given the title of Concubine Qi, Lady Song was given the title of Concubine Mao, Lady Niuhuru was given the title of Concubine Xi, Lady Geng was given the title of Concubine Yu, and the rest were all given the title of Noble Ladies.
When Concubine Li found out that she was only given the title of Concubine Qi, she was so angry that she fainted.
She and Mu Sili were both concubines, but unexpectedly one became the queen while the other was only a concubine.
Although she was the first person under the empress, this was too disgusting. She wanted to find Kangxi to argue with him, but she didn't dare to. She could only return to her palace with a rage.
Niohuru and the others went back without saying much. They had just entered the palace and had many things to deal with, so there was no need to worry about their initial positions.
Yinzhen knew their reactions at the first moment, but he didn't say anything. After all, for him, the only one he really wanted to confer the title on was Mu Sili.
After the positions in the harem were determined, Yinzhen conferred titles on his brothers.
Everyone was waiting to see whether Yinzhen would keep his promise to Kangxi, so they were all quietly waiting for the first imperial edict after Yinzhen came to power.
After learning that their status had not been affected and that they were actually reused by Yinzhen, their last bit of dissatisfaction with Yinzhen disappeared.
The Imperial Clan Court.
"Second brother, your younger brother is here to take you out of the clan residence."
The deposed crown prince knew that he might be pardoned after Yinzhen ascended the throne, but he did not expect that this good event would come so soon.
"I, the guilty minister, pay my respects to the Emperor."
"What are you doing, second brother? I'm here to pick you up, why are you arguing with me about the rules?"
"No matter what, you are a lord, so you still have to follow these rules."
Seeing him like this, Yinzhen did not force him. After settling the deposed prince, Yinzhen officially began his life as emperor.
After giving birth to a daughter for Yinzhen, Mu Sili never gave birth again. This was Yinzhen's last child. He loved her very much, so he named her Huaiyu.
Ten years later.
"I'm tired of it. I used to think the throne of the emperor was so high and mighty, but after actually sitting on it, I realized I'm even worse than a cow!"
Yinzhen couldn't help but complain to Mu Sili. When he thought about how tired he was like a dog every day, he regretted getting involved in the fight for the throne.
If there had been no fight for the throne, he would definitely be an idle prince in Prince Yong's mansion right now. How could he be so exhausted as he is now?
"This is your own choice. Since you have chosen it, you must accept it. However, Honghao and the others are grown up now. Isn't it time for you to consider appointing a crown prince?
Oh, by the way, my second brother has come to me again to ask for my resignation. You can go and tell him yourself. I really don't want to explain."
When Yinzhen heard that Nian Gengyao came to Mu Sili again to talk about retiring from the army and returning to the countryside, he finally took it seriously.
"What is Nian Gengyao doing? It's been ten years now, he's made it a habit, he has to talk about it, right?
I haven't even resigned yet, so why should he resign? He must serve as the Governor of Hubei for me. Before I resign, he can't even think of resigning! "
Yinzhen adhered to the idea of sharing the difficulties and was determined not to let Nian Gengyao get what he wanted.
But it is indeed time to appoint a crown prince. After waiting for so many years, Honghao has finally grown up, and it is time to let him help share my worries.
I am old and can't stand being tired.
Yinzhen would never allow any struggle for the throne among his sons, so he did not give anyone a chance and directly made Honghao the crown prince.
Not only that, he also conferred titles on other people and sent them all out of the palace.
After Yinzhen conferred titles on Hongshi and others, Nianhulu fell seriously ill.
"I have been planning and waiting for so many years, why did the throne of Crown Prince still go to the Queen's son?
Didn't they say that I have the Phoenix Fate? Damn the Phoenix Fate, it's the people around me who have the Phoenix Fate!
If you give me another chance, I will never enter the prince's backyard again. It's too hard!"
If it weren't for the rumor that she had the Phoenix's life, how could she have stayed peacefully in Prince Yong's mansion for so many years?
Just thinking about it makes me feel so aggrieved. And what about Hongli? That kid is so smart, why isn't he favored by Yinzhen?
Forget it, I might as well die, so that I don’t have to suffer every minute of my life. It will be different when I die, at least I won’t have to feel suffocated.
