Chapter 195
This plea made Hongli nod his head repeatedly.
"But how should we seal the six palaces? Does Qingying have any plan?"
The Qingying armor lightly stroked her hair twice, and she said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is really embarrassing for me.惢心, bring me a pen and ink."
Hongli was puzzled and asked, "What are you going to do with the pen and ink?"
"Your Majesty, there are so many people in the harem that I can't remember the positions of the sisters in each palace. It would be more convenient for Your Majesty to see which sister to promote."
As she spoke,惢心 had already spread the rice paper in front of Qingying.
He reached out to take the pen and started writing.
After waiting for a long while, he raised his head again.
"Your Majesty, the current consort is Hui Fei, and the concubines are Chun Fei, Mei Fei, and the newly promoted Hai Lan."
"On the noble seat is only the noble Min."
"The remaining ones are Wan Changzai and Jin Changzai, and the female guards."
"There aren't many people in the harem, and even with my concubines, there are only a handful of us. The Emperor has been on the throne for nearly three years now. Regardless of today's conferring of titles on the six concubines, preparations for the selection of concubines should have been made long ago, right?"
Qingying spoke a long string of words, and the last sentence made Hongli laugh.
"The palace hasn't even arranged anything yet, and you're already thinking about the selection. You're truly virtuous."
He didn't care what the other person meant.
Qingying extended her hand and returned the rice paper to Hongli. "Your Majesty, please take a look. How should this position be changed?"
"Empress Hui has no children, so Imperial Concubine is not very suitable. I remember that Concubine Mei was only given the title after she gave birth to the Third Prince. It would be inappropriate to change her now."
"As for Concubine Chun..."
Hongli paused.
Qingying raised her head and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty?"
"Yong Zhang is growing up day by day. Although Su's family background is relatively low, she is still worthy of the position of concubine."
After a long silence, Hongli finally spoke and promoted Concubine Chun to Concubine Chun.
"Yes, your Majesty is wise."
"As for Consort Min, she has acted too haphazardly and shouldn't have been promoted. However, she gave birth to the second princess and is an elder in the Qian Palace, so this time she will be promoted to the rank of concubine."
"Your Majesty is right. After all, she is a member of the Fucha clan. She deserves the position of a concubine."
Hongli nodded when he heard this and said, "Jin's actions are vicious and she doesn't deserve to be promoted. Wanyin is a good person, so she should be promoted to a noble lady this time."
"And Wei, since she has served you well, you should give her the title of Concubine."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and considerate, and I admire you. However, there is one thing I would like to ask for your grace."
"grace?"
Qingying took back the rice paper and circled Hailan's name.
"Your Majesty, since I became pregnant, Hai Lan has been the one who has taken care of all the affairs of the six palaces, except for the Empress Dowager. Now that Hai Lan is pregnant again, how about Your Majesty show mercy and grant me a title?"
Hongli propped his head up with his hands and looked at Qingying. "The title is a small matter, but I can't think of anything at the moment. Does Qingying have any good ideas?"
Qingying lowered her head and started writing again.
After a moment, he pushed the rice paper back and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look, okay?"
"Shu?"
"Gentle and graceful is Shu, which is a good title. I'll do as you wish."
Qingying's smile grew even wider. "Then I, on behalf of Sister Shupin, would like to thank the Emperor for his grace."
...
After the imperial decree that she had crowned herself, Qingying could no longer be as casual as before.
But I am indeed too lazy to deal with it too much.
So the rule of paying respects to the five palaces was established every time.
The day after the emperor and empress agreed to confer titles on the six palaces was the fifth day of the second lunar month.
Early in the morning, before daybreak, concubines from various palaces came in one after another.
The news of the promotion of the six palaces had not yet spread, so everyone's attention was naturally on Hai Lan, who was pregnant and had been promoted.
But Hailan seemed to be oblivious to everyone's gazes.
He supported Ye Xin and walked slowly to the second seat on the left.
She was granted the position of concubine but no title.
Naturally, she would be ranked behind Concubine Chun.
Concubine Hui had not arrived yet, and there was no one in the palace worthy of her paying her respects, so she sat down and did not speak.
Not long after, Concubine Hui and the Queen came in one after another.
Everyone stood up and bowed.
Qingying looked at Hailan and said, "The first three months of pregnancy is the time when you should be most careful. Today is fine. From now on, please pay your respects. Hailan, there is no need to rush here. The most important thing is to take good care of the baby."
"Yes, I thank the Queen."
