[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy

Chapter 13: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy

When they were still some distance away from Jingren Palace, Sheng Huan saw from afar Liang Jiugong and several eunuchs from Qianqing Palace standing at the palace gate.

Obviously, he was waiting for her.

Sure enough, when Liang Jiugong saw Sheng Huan coming back from a distance, he hurried over to him, unable to hide the smile on his face.

In particular, he was holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

Seeing this, a possibility flashed through Sheng Huan's mind, but he didn't show any expression on his face.

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty Concubine Tong. Long live Her Majesty."

When Liang Jiugong was one meter away from Sheng Huan, he knelt down and kowtowed in a very solemn manner. Especially when he addressed her as "Empress Tong", all the palace servants in Jingren Palace were shocked.

Obviously, everyone guessed that it must be the Emperor's imperial decree to confer the title of Consort on them. Their queen was no longer Princess Tong Jia, but the real Consort Tong who held the golden seal.

Sheng Huan smiled and said, "Eunuch Liang, please stand up."

Liang Jiugong took advantage of the situation and stood up, bowed his waist and smiled: "Your Majesty is very happy! Your Majesty has asked me to announce the decree to you, Your Majesty, please accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Huan was about to kneel down to receive the order.

Liang Jiugong immediately reached out to stop her, his face full of concern and fear: "It's all my fault for being slow to speak. His Majesty sympathized with the fact that the Empress was pregnant with the heir, and told me not to let the Empress kneel down."

Hearing this, Sheng Huan touched her belly with a gentle expression and said, "Thank you for your understanding, cousin."

As she spoke, although she did not kneel, she bowed slightly and half-bowed. Seeing this, all the palace maids in Jingren Palace knelt as well.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, neither humble nor overbearing: "I accept your order."

Of course she had to appreciate Kangxi's kindness. Otherwise, if she rejected his kindness, he would inevitably feel unhappy and would not do so again in the future. However, there were several powerful people in the palace, and Sheng Huan could not help but pay her respects. So, she compromised and performed a half-blessing ceremony.

Otherwise, if word got out, people would think she was arrogant and disrespectful to the emperor.

I'm afraid the Empress Dowager and others will have objections again.

When Liang Jiugong saw this, he was surprised. It seemed that Concubine Tong was not dazzled by the favor she received and was obviously very sensible.

This thought only flashed through his mind. To prevent Sheng Huan from squatting for too long and causing him to become exhausted, Liang Jiugong immediately opened the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and announced loudly:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Tong Jia is gentle and virtuous, with a gentle and kind nature. Since entering the palace, she has been respectful and caring... She is prudent and has a good character, which deeply comforts my heart. She is a role model for the six palaces. Now, she is canonized as a concubine. I decree this!"

"I accept your order and thank you. Long live the emperor."

"Congratulations to Concubine Tong for being officially conferred the title of Concubine. This is the Concubine's golden seal. Keep it well, Concubine."

Liang Jiugong quickly bowed to congratulate him. After all, he would definitely have to deal with this master in the future.

"Thank you for taking this trip, sir. Listen carefully and watch the reward."

Ever since Kangxi blurted out the name of Concubine Tong that day, Ting Xin knew that her master was going to officially confer the title of Concubine. She had already prepared the silver for reward in case of emergency. Now, upon hearing this, she hurried forward and stuffed a red envelope into Liang Jiugong's arms.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong did not refuse this time. After all, it was a great event to be crowned as a princess, and taking the silver was also a good omen. It would be inappropriate if he did not accept it.

After announcing the imperial edict and receiving the reward, Liang Jiugong left.

Sheng Huan's gaze then fell on the palace maids of Jingren Palace, and he found that they had undisguised joy in their eyes and brows, and looked as if they were proud of the event.

She said generously: "Today, our palace is very happy. The whole Jingren Palace is happy. All the palace servants will have their monthly salary tripled this month."

Upon hearing this, all the palace servants in Jingren Palace immediately knelt down and kowtowed in joy for Sheng Huan's generosity.

"Your servant/servant would like to thank the queen for the reward!"

……

Qianqing Palace

After leaving the court, Kangxi did not review the memorials as usual. He looked at the many titles with excellent meanings written down after thinking for a long time a few days ago on the white paper on the table. But at the same time, the dark eyes of the Empress Dowager and her words suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was stunned for a long time, and finally folded the paper and put it in the cabinet. He calmed his mind and read the memorial.

……

As soon as the imperial decree was issued to confer the title of consort, all the concubines in the harem knew about it almost immediately.

Within one day, there were two officially canonized concubines in the palace, but unfortunately, this honor was not theirs.

They were going crazy and were so angry that their teeth were itching, but there was nothing they could do. The only consolation they felt was that Concubine Tong was pregnant and could not sleep with him.

But then he thought that if Concubine Tong could successfully give birth to a royal heir, her position would be more secure. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

As for Niu Hulu, although everyone hated and envied her, they knew that she had no children, so she was not to be feared.

Yongshou Palace

Concubine Niohuru, no, now she should be called Concubine Niohuru, sat on the couch, touching the handwriting on the yellow silk with her slender jade fingers.

The dragons and phoenixes are flying and the atmosphere is vigorous and vigorous.

Concubine Niohuru never imagined that after failing to compete with Hesheli for the position of queen, she had waited for so many years and was still a small concubine. Now that she finally got the title of queen, she was on the same level as Tonggiya who had just entered the palace.

It was just a small position of concubine, but she had to wait for so many years. How ridiculous! Back then, she was one of the reserve candidates for the queen.

"Your Majesty is so happy. After waiting for so many years, the hard work has finally paid off." The palace maid Yiqiao felt quite proud.

Now that the master has the golden seal in his hand, he is the real master of Yongshou Palace. As for the enthronement ceremony, it is only a matter of time once he gets the golden seal.

Compared to Yiqiao's happiness, Concubine Niohuru's expression did not show the slightest joy.

She stroked the word "concubine" on the imperial edict, her expression cold and indifferent: "Oh, you say that we are equal in status, but you see, it was Liang Jiugong who personally went to Jingren Palace to announce the edict, and I am just Liang Jiugong's apprentice. What's more, Concubine Tong received the imperial edict earlier than I did."

She seemed a little bit possessed: "Look at Yiqiao, she became a concubine earlier than me!"

When Yiqiao heard this, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She immediately looked around and was relieved when she saw that there was no one else.

She looked at her master worriedly, trying to comfort him, but she couldn't find the words to say, so she could only say dryly: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. You came to the palace earlier than that person, you were promoted to the position of concubine earlier than her, and you have a longer seniority than her. The emperor has you in his heart..."

Concubine Niu Hulu was not moved at all, and she said to herself: "I lost to Hesheli, am I going to lose to Tong Jia now?"

"Your Highness, please don't be so worried and stuck in a dead end. Concubine Tong is already weak, and it's hard to say how this baby will turn out. Moreover, who in the harem can see that she is not anxious now? Whether she can give birth safely is a matter for the future."

"Your Majesty, you have always been in good health. We will cooperate with the imperial physician to take care of you and get pregnant with a dragon heir as soon as possible. There is no need to worry about not being able to have more children."

After hearing what was said, Concubine Niu Hulu finally took it in. She stroked her belly and said, "You are right. Concubine Tong is a target now. As long as I get pregnant and ascend to a high position, the Niu Hulu clan will be able to restore its former glory."

"Besides, it's still unknown who will be the Holy Mother Queen Dowager in the future..."

……

Kunning Palace

Although Empress Hesheli had already known about the title of concubine, she was still a little unhappy at the moment.

In addition, the Emperor had been sitting in her palace for a short time last night when he mentioned the matter of conferring a title on Concubine Tong and Concubine Niu Hulu. Fortunately, she stopped him.

I just don’t know if I have displeased His Majesty, otherwise why wouldn’t he stay overnight?

Just when she was worried about this matter, there was also the matter of Nanny Li hanging in the air. Empress Hesheli didn't know how the Emperor was investigating and whether he had suspected her.

Fortunately, all the people who had contact with Nanny Li have been dealt with. Besides, she did not do anything wrong. It was not her who did it. She just added fuel to the fire.

"What are you worried about, Madam?"

At this moment, Bilan brought a cup of tea and placed it on Queen Hesheli's table and asked softly.

Empress Hesheli picked up the teacup and gently lifted the lid. Her every move was elegant, dignified and virtuous. She smiled softly, but a hint of obscurity flashed across her eyes:

"Concubine Tong and Concubine Niu Hulu are very happy, but I wonder what Concubine Niu Hulu would think if she knew that His Majesty wanted to bestow a title on Concubine Tong but was stopped by me..."

After hearing this, Bilan understood what her master meant and responded softly, "I think he must be so angry that his teeth itch and he can only blame the heaven for being unfair."

"Yes, we can only blame God for being unfair..." Queen Hesheli said meaningfully, with a smile in her eyes becoming deeper.

What she said was the truth, but she did not mention that His Majesty originally wanted to give her a title. She only mentioned Concubine Tong, and left it to see what Concubine Niu Hulu would think after hearing it.

Although the Niu Hulu clan was noble, they were also ruthless. Now that they were crushed by newcomers, I think they must be extremely unwilling to accept the consequences.

If the two powerful rivals in the palace were to fight each other, it would surely be very lively and exciting.

She just sat back and waited for the show to begin.

After all, the position of Empress is not something that anyone can covet. Niu Hulu looked at her and wondered what she was thinking. She must be dreaming.
