Chapter 184 Settlement
After being reminded by An Lingrong, Concubine Hua became even more impatient to go to Jingren Palace to see the Queen's face, so she simply pretended to be sick.
In order to make the pretense more realistic, Songzhi went to Jingren Palace to ask for leave, and immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to ask Doctor Jiang to come and take her pulse.
Jiang Cheng gently placed his hand on Hua Fei's pulse. After carefully examining her for dozens of breaths, his eyelids twitched slightly.
He seemed to have sensed some stubborn illness, so he changed his hand and continued taking the pulse.
Hua Fei, who was pretending to be sick, noticed the strangeness on Jiang Cheng's face and sat up straight unconsciously, feeling uneasy.
She just wanted to pretend to be sick to take some time off, but why did it look like the illness was really serious?
Songzhi was also nervously asking, "Doctor Jiang, is there anything wrong with my queen's health?"
Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, you are fine, but you need to recuperate for a while. I will prescribe a prescription for you right away."
The brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen have been checking Concubine Hua's pulse for a long time. They have long discovered that the Huanyi incense sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not contain musk.
Recently, the Hua Fei, whose health was damaged by musk, has improved. The two clever brothers have figured out the attitude of the superiors and used
Serve the Empress with all your heart.
This time, the pulse showed that although Concubine Hua was weak, she was much stronger than before.
Jiang Cheng guessed that the emperor wanted Concubine Hua to have a baby, so he secretly found a skilled doctor to take care of her.
So she was smart enough to use an ancestral prescription that could both help with pregnancy and regulate the body.
Hua Fei and Song Zhi, who were unaware of the true situation, took the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, drank the medicine every meal, and carefully took care of their bodies.
Concubine Hua rested in Yiku Palace for more than ten days and felt that she seemed to have become more plump.
"Songzhi, let's go and pay our respects tomorrow on the first day of the new year."
In winter, the poultry stayed in their sheds and didn't come out. With nothing new to do, she was really bored.
The next morning, Concubine Hua got up early.
When I stepped into Jingren Palace, I accidentally saw Su Peisheng waiting in the side hall.
She was wondering why the emperor didn't take Su Peisheng away when he stayed in Jingren Palace last night?
But thinking of An Lingrong's advice, she decided not to be curious for the time being and wait until the greetings were over before investigating.
"Hua Fei, I heard that you were unwell. Are you feeling better now?"
As soon as the queen came out, looking in good spirits, she greeted Concubine Hua with concern.
The drunk Sixteenth Prince petitioned the Emperor to reward Concubine Shu at the twins' third birthday banquet. She spent the night thinking hard about the countermeasures, and used the dispute between the Manchus and the Han people in the past dynasty to
To admonish the emperor.
Fortunately, the emperor listened to her advice and there was no movement in the past half month.
"Reporting to the Queen, after the treatment by the Imperial Physician, I feel much better now."
Perhaps in the future her physical discomfort will be as controllable as the queen's headache.
The Queen expressed her concern for Concubine Hua for a few more words and looked at the empty chair opposite her.
"Sister Shufei is still in confinement after giving birth. I heard that the Emperor dotes on the Sixth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and Princess Zhaohua. Sisters, please take good care of yourselves and bear children for the royal family as soon as possible."
"Especially the beautiful Concubine Hua, you have to work harder!"
The old woman knew that she was infertile, but still cruelly forced her to give birth to a princess.
Simply...
Song Zhi, who was standing behind Concubine Hua, poked her furious master hard.
Hua Fei came back to her senses and was concerned that Su Peisheng was still outside. She took a deep breath and looked up with a smile.
"Your Majesty is right. I will definitely take good care of myself."
"However, I cannot agree with what Your Majesty has said about her extraordinary beauty. The Emperor once praised Wanpin's beauty and talent as unique in the harem."
"Now that Wanpin is pregnant, Your Majesty, please be more loving to the person whom the Emperor holds dear to his heart."
An Lingrong said that she accidentally discovered that the Queen was very wary of Zhen Huan.
Then she would draw the fire over and see how the old queen could poke her heart again.
Concubine Cao, who had lived in the Yiku Palace for several years, couldn't help but secretly glance at Concubine Hua several times, wondering how she could say such words so calmly.
In the past, if anyone received the emperor's favor, Concubine Hua would rush up like a madman, bite them, and make things difficult for them.
Shen Meizhuang looked at Huan'er beside her worriedly, and was about to speak to defend her when Su Peisheng walked in with the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to announce the Emperor's will. Please accept my orders, my lords."
The queen's face changed. She didn't hear what the emperor said last night.
However, she still led everyone to accept the order respectfully.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims. Following the Empress Dowager's benevolent instructions, today I appoint Concubine Hua as Noble Concubine Hua, Concubine Shu as Noble Concubine Shu, Concubine Jing as Concubine Jing, and Concubine Wan as Concubine Wan. This is my decree!"
Among them, Jingpin's promotion was entirely the result of a quarrel between the emperor and the empress dowager.
Xia Qie found out that the Queen Mother had handed over the exchanged ginseng to her confidants, and the money obtained went to the imprisoned Fourteenth Prince.
When he discussed with the empress dowager, he saw that she did not want too many concubines of high positions in the harem, so he casually promoted Jingpin, who was raising the seventh prince.
After Su Peisheng and the other three people present finished their greetings, he spoke to the queen with a stiff face.
"Empress, the Emperor has asked you to take care of the enthronement ceremony for several other ladies."
"Please ask Eunuch Su to tell the Emperor that I will carefully organize the enthronement ceremony for my sisters. However, the winter in the capital is bitterly cold. Can we wait until next spring when the flowers bloom?"
The queen seemed afraid that others would misunderstand her, so she hurried to explain.
"I will instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allow my four sisters to enjoy the benefits of their promotion starting today."
"Your Majesty is so kind, I will definitely pass it on."
After the Queen congratulated the three people present, she ended her greetings.
As soon as she stepped over the beaded curtain, her face instantly darkened.
"Jianqiu, why didn't I receive the news of the Emperor's promotion in advance?"
This time, the emperor appointed two imperial concubines at once and also promoted the pregnant Zhen Huan. Will she be able to compete for the position of imperial concubine, which is equivalent to the position of vice-empress, after she gives birth?
The queen lost her composure as everything was out of her control.
She stared at Jianqiu who was kneeling on the ground.
"I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty."
The emperor had dinner in Shoukang Palace yesterday. The nails they left there had long been pulled out, and not a single piece of news had been leaked.
"The Emperor stayed at Jingren Palace last night. Was he intending to paralyze me?"
Yixiu, who was extremely panicked, fell back into her chair dejectedly when she saw Jianqiu not saying anything.
"Go and make some medicine for me."
When Jianqiu stepped out of the palace gate after receiving the order, he vaguely heard a creepy sound coming from behind him.
"Honghui, mother misses you. You must come to see her as soon as possible."
