Chapter 100: Concubine Becomes Concubine 7
Kunning Palace
"what?!"
When the empress heard the palace servant report that Yongzheng had not only taken a woman out of the Yongshou Palace, but had even brought her into the Yangxin Palace, she could not hold the teacup in her hand steadily, and the tea in it spilled out and burned her fingertips without her noticing.
She asked quickly, "Have you found out? But which maid in Yongshou Palace?"
The queen, who had not yet finished listening, mistakenly thought that a palace maid had successfully ascended to the throne. Ascending to the throne was not a big deal, but being carried to the Yangxin Palace by the emperor was what she cared about.
She continued to ask: "What's the situation with Concubine Xi?"
Cuiping, the trusted palace maid, paused after hearing this, and was about to speak, then stopped again, and finally said: "My lady, it's not that palace maid, but..."
At this point, she lowered her voice and said, "It's Concubine Xi's elder sister, the former princess in Prince Lian's mansion."
Upon hearing this, the queen opened her eyes wide, with a flash of astonishment in her eyes: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
"I heard that Xiangxun from Concubine Xi's palace took someone to feed the fish, but she slipped and accidentally pushed the person into the lake. Your Majesty..." Cuiping glanced at the Queen and saw that she looked strange. She uttered a few words and said, "It was Your Majesty who personally went into the water to save her."
At this point, Cuiping herself was a little confused: "Your Majesty, tell me, why does the emperor hate the former Prince Lian so much..."
The Queen naturally didn't know either, but she knew that the Emperor had no good face towards anyone in Prince Lian's mansion, and she was not worried about what would happen if Princess Niuhuru stayed in the palace. After all, there were just one more concubine in the palace. Could it be that the Emperor was too harsh in sentencing his brothers, and now wanted to restore some of his image, so he kept Princess Niuhuru to show his benevolence.
With this thought, everything became clear. The queen was no longer panicked or breathless, and even had time to gloat over the misfortune:
"Empress Xi has eyes that are as high as the sky. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid she's vomiting blood."
The Queen absolutely did not believe that it was Concubine Xi who took the initiative to push people in front of Yongzheng. Don't think that she didn't find out, Concubine Xi clearly looked down on her sister.
Now that the emperor has left behind this Princess Niuhuru, the harem will probably be lively.
The queen did not take people seriously. After all, a family could only produce one concubine of high rank. Now there was already Concubine Xi. Even if Princess Niohuru stayed, her position would never be the head of a palace.
In this case, why should she be afraid? She can go to the Yangxin Palace in advance to test what position the emperor will give her.

Yangxindian
After dealing with state affairs, Yongzheng couldn't help but let the things that were weighing on his mind come up again.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Su Peisheng served tea, and still couldn't figure out Yongzheng's attitude towards Sheng Huan.
He felt indescribably panicked, as if he, as a trusted eunuch, had failed in his duty.
Yongzheng took it and asked unexpectedly: "Is she awake?"
Who else could it be? It must be Princess Niu Hulu who was brought back today.
Su Peisheng had many thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show them on his face. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Niu Hulu hasn't woken up yet."
Hearing Su Peisheng's address, Yongzheng's brows furrowed, his deep black eyes fell on him like a whirlpool, and his fingers tapped unconsciously on the table.
"emperor?"
Seeing this, Su Peisheng thought he had said something wrong and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"She will enter the palace, and as for the title..." Yongzheng paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed, not knowing what title to give her.
He wrote and drew on the paper, and finally, he circled a word. Seeing this, Su Peisheng was shocked again.
Before he could say anything, a young eunuch walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
Hearing this, Yongzheng thought that he really had to tell the Queen about this matter. After all, she was the head of the harem. Her coming now would save him a trip, so he said:
"Let her in."
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
"Get up."
"What is the matter with the Queen?"
The Queen bowed and nodded: "I heard that the Emperor rescued a woman who fell into the water. The water is cold, so I made some ginger soup. The Emperor should drink some to warm himself up."
"The queen has a heart, let's put it aside for now."
The Queen was not disappointed after hearing this. After all, this was not the purpose of her coming here. She said casually:
"That woman is not from the palace after all, and she and the emperor..." She paused and said vaguely, "It is not a good idea for her to stay in the palace for a long time now. Your Majesty, please give her a position so that I can arrange some palace servants and palaces to serve her in the future."
Hearing this, Yongzheng said calmly: "There are only three high-ranking concubines in the palace, which is too few. It would be better to gather four concubines and give them the title of 'Xian'. Chengqian Palace is still empty now, so it would be perfect for her to move in."
The queen's face changed slightly when she heard this, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened instantly. It was actually a concubine?! She even moved into Chengqian Palace, the first of the six eastern palaces. What did the emperor mean by this?
Considering that Emperor Shunzhi's concubine Dong E was also initially conferred the title of Xianfei and moved into Chengqian Palace, it's no wonder that the empress was so frightened.
The queen suppressed the turmoil in her heart and showed hesitation on her face: "Your Majesty, there is already Concubine Xi in the palace. This Niu Hulu Gege and Concubine Xi are from the same mansion. If there are two high-ranking concubines, this... will it be inappropriate?"
Yongzheng didn't think it was inappropriate, but he couldn't give him a lower position. He felt guilty, and this guilt had been weighing on his mind for so many years. If he really did that, he would feel like he was insulting him.
So his expression did not change, and he just said: "Her status is different, and I have my reasons for doing this."
He didn't say much, but the queen made up the reason of the former Prince Lian in her mind, and she felt relieved all of a sudden. As expected, the emperor did this to appease the people who were frightened by his thundering means.
After the queen left, the news that Sheng Huan was named Consort Xian spread throughout the six palaces.
