Chapter 313: Promoted to Virtuous Consort (5 Reward Value Plus)
Empress Wen is so brave!
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that given the imperial concubine's temper, she was offended so much but was only scolded verbally without really doing anything to her.
In the past, this was something that no one would dare to even think about.
Before this, they only knew that Concubine Wen was favored, but after experiencing this incident, they saw in a concrete way how favored she was!
Otherwise, why would even the hot-tempered imperial concubine give in when facing her?
For a moment, some people became more and more disdainful and felt that she was simply a demon concubine!
Some people are quick-witted and have the idea of climbing up the social ladder.
Jiang Wange just liked to go against Concubine Liu. One reason was that the other party had slapped her hard in the face and she had always held this grudge.
On the other hand, it is because... in the book, the emperor is ruthless, and he only has some true feelings for the distinctive, bright and beautiful Concubine Liu.
Even after the Emperor destroyed the Duke Dingguo Mansion, he did not demote Concubine Liu and treated her the same as before. However, Concubine Liu was doomed and died in the struggle with Concubine Xian.
Therefore, Jiang Wange looked at Concubine Liu just like she looked at her husband’s ex-girlfriend. Of course, she disliked her no matter how she looked at her!
Shen Zhinian watched the two people fighting quietly and couldn't help but shook his head in his heart.
Given Concubine Liu's temperament, it must have been hard for her to endure until now.
It seems that the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace has often given Concubine Liu advice behind her back.
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
"The Queen Mother has arrived --!!!"
Hearing the eunuch's announcement, everyone immediately stood up to greet him. Concubine Liu and Jiang Wange also stopped their verbal confrontation.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, may Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!!!"
Although Empress Dowager Liu lives in seclusion and rarely goes out, she still exudes an aura of majesty without showing it!
She walked to the main seat and sat down, then slowly said, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Although Jiang Wange didn't take Concubine Liu seriously, she knew that Empress Dowager Liu was the most ruthless character in the book, and she didn't dare to act rashly in front of Empress Dowager Liu. She stood up and sat on the chair, looking very obedient.
Concubine Liu took in this scene, and a hint of sneer flashed across her bright face.
My aunt is right, Concubine Wen is indeed a person who is not worthy of being on the stage!
As an elder, Empress Dowager Liu naturally had to care about the pregnant concubines.
Ever since Concubine Zhou broke her arm, she has stayed in Yongshou Palace and has not gone out.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Liu's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian, and she asked gently, "How is Concubine Rou doing recently?"
Concubine Liu was easy to fool, but Empress Dowager Liu was not. In front of her, Shen Zhinian did not dare to be careless at all.
She perked up and stood up, saying, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. Everything is fine with me and the heir."
Empress Dowager Liu nodded and said, "You are pregnant, don't stand, sit down."
"Yes."
A concubine looked around and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Concubine Xiao brought the Third Prince out yet?"
Smart people have already sensed something is wrong.
I'm afraid she is not just curious, but is secretly trying to flatter Empress Dowager Liu.
After all, the Empress Dowager has arrived, but Concubine Xiao has not yet come. Doesn't this mean that she is more arrogant than the Empress Dowager because she gave birth to the Third Prince?
Tsk... the harem is really full of invisible wars.
The maid of Chengqian Palace quickly explained: "My dear lady, today is the full moon banquet of the Third Prince. His Majesty came to see the Third Prince last night and stayed in Chengqian Palace."
The implication is that it was the emperor who teased the third prince and wasted time, and Concubine Xiao cannot be blamed for being late.
The concubine who had just spoken fell silent instantly. After all, even if she had a hundred guts, she would not dare to question the emperor.
Under normal circumstances, Concubine Liang would have come out to smooth things over. However, the good guy was still in confinement, making everyone feel that something was missing...
finally--
"His Majesty has arrived --!!!"
"Empress Xiao is here!!!!"
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
The last time the old man in the palace saw Concubine Xiao was almost a year ago. The new concubines who entered the palace had never seen her before, and they were all very curious!
Shen Zhinian was no exception and looked over at the first moment.
She thought that after she knew she was pregnant, she immediately pretended to be crazy so as to fade out of the sight of everyone in the harem and give birth to the child safely. She must be a woman with deep scheming and ruthless means.
Many palace concubines who had never seen Concubine Xiao also thought so.
Unexpectedly, her actual image was completely different from what they imagined!
Princess Xiao was wearing a brocade flowing cloud skirt, the hem of which was a deep dark green, with clouds woven on it using the method of continuous warp and interrupted weft. The clouds swayed gracefully as she walked, and it seemed as if the clouds were flowing with her steps.
The hem of the skirt is inlaid with precious gems and jade, exuding a gentle temperament and a sense of low-key dignity.
She was tall, graceful, with black hair like clouds and beautiful features. Even though she was dressed so beautifully, her clothes and jewelry did not overshadow her.
What is more attractive than her beauty is her gentle and graceful temperament. She looks like a beautiful woman with a kind heart, good manners and good manners.
Especially after taking good care of herself for a month after giving birth, Xiao Fei's cheeks were rosy, and her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of soft glow. She was less immature than a girl, and as attractive as a ripe peach.
Shen Zhinian couldn't help but sigh that Nangong Xuanyu was so lucky and ate better than she did in her previous life!
Little did he know that the emperor also looked at Shen Zhinian at the first moment.
The Third Prince was certainly adorable, but what he was most looking forward to was the child he and Nian Nian had...
But Nangong Xuanyu never told this to anyone, and he looked away in an instant.
Concubine Liu's gaze fell on Concubine Xiao, and her face suddenly darkened!
Before the birth of the Third Prince, she had almost forgotten that there was such a person as Concubine Xiao. She had never expected that this vixen was hiding and secretly holding back something big!
After everyone finished their greetings, Nangong Xuanyu said, "Li Changde, announce the decree."
Li Changde responded with a "yes" and slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand.
"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, summons: Consort Xiao of the Chengqian Palace, you are gentle and virtuous, with a kind heart. You have made an invaluable contribution to the continuation of the royal family's lineage. From today on, you are promoted to the rank of third-rank Consort De. I decree this!"
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips and her eyes flickered.
Everyone's expressions were a little subtle...
Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the eldest prince died. Even so, Concubine Liang was still canonized as the second of the four concubines.
They thought that Concubine Xiao, who gave birth to His Majesty's eldest son, would become the first of the four concubines, the virtuous concubine, but they didn't expect that she would only get the last rank, the virtuous concubine...
In just a moment, Concubine Xiao, no, Concubine De put away the strangeness in her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I obey your order and thank you for your grace!"
Everyone came forward to congratulate him, either sincerely or hypocritically.
