Chapter 201 Concubine Ning
The court ladies look forward to climbing the branches to become phoenixes as soon as possible, and the masters look forward to being with the emperor every day.Cuiwei was actually quite depressed.If the emperor didn't mention it earlier, she couldn't ask, but she also murmured in her heart.Listening to the empress begging for a title for her outside now, I feel mixed emotions in my heart.

Isn't this moment what I've been looking forward to all the way, it's a joke to follow the emperor but have no status.

It's been a few days since she came back, she asked Concubine Kang for advice, Concubine Kang was just happy for her, and advised her not to worry.The concubine in the harem doesn't see the emperor for a few times a year, and she is so pampered every day that no one else can ask for it.

Concubine Kang meant that there was nothing wrong with being like this all the time.When Concubine Ning gives birth to the prince, she will definitely raise her status, and her status will be handled together at that time, which will be three blessings.

Sounds like nothing wrong, except will the Emperor still remember her by then?Concubine Ning gave birth to a son and was granted the title, she was in full swing, she was just joining in the fun or what.After all, she is married, so she can't be wronged like this.

It's just that no one worried about her, and she couldn't open herself, so she felt a little resentful to the emperor, Liugong used her as a thorn in his flesh, as if she got a lot of advantages from being with the emperor every day, but in fact, she also had hardships that she couldn't tell.

She was in a hurry to get back after receiving the clothes, but she ran into the queen on the way.

Songling was sent by the queen, so she knew him naturally, and the one with Songling could be guessed to be Cuiwei.

The empress pulled Song Ling to ask about the Qingming memorial ceremony, and then turned her eyes, "Is this the new concubine Kang?"

Originally, even Songling had kept this matter under wraps, but after hearing the Queen's direct question, she knew that she couldn't escape today, so Cuiwei had no choice but to agree.The queen asked without any haste, what kind of favor did the master give, and what position did the master give, but Cuiwei couldn't answer, her face was red.

The queen knew that the emperor had made an old mistake again.In his eyes, it is enough for these people to be loyal with all their heart, and he never thinks about status or anything.The queen guessed that there was another reason why the emperor was embarrassed to mention it this time. After all, it was a face made during the ancestor worship, and it was disrespectful to say it.

Although the emperor was not a lecherous person, the timing of this incident was really wrong. If the censor knew about it and handed over a few remonstrance notes, the emperor's face would be lost.

The queen is now showing her true qualities as a good wife. If she comes forward, the emperor does not cultivate personal virtues, and the matter of accepting people when offering sacrifices to the ancestors will be blurred.

She beckoned and waved, "Come in, don't be shy. This is a happy event. Now neither Concubine Ning nor I can serve the master. It's time for the master to have someone beside him."

Cui Wei blushed and came in to kowtow. Sooner or later, if she waits for Concubine Ning to be with her, the emperor may suddenly see Su Ge from the corner of her eyes at that moment. No matter how slowly this happens."

The queen was taken aback and looked at the emperor.

"Well, I still have to take care of the queen mother."

The queen smiled inwardly, she was thinking about the queen mother at this time, when she took him to the bed, she forgot that his relative, Ernie, was sick.

What's the matter, it's easy to handle, I have to take Cuiwei back today no matter what.So he said considerately, "The theory is that we should take care of Huang Ernie. However, Huang Ernie has improved a lot in the past few days. People from the Compassion Ning Palace reported that they walk around the platform corridor a few times a day, and their legs and feet are much stronger. Besides, it is the Empress Dowager’s intention to reward the maids in front of the imperial court. Speaking of which, the emperor’s heart is even more hopeful for the emperor’s heir. If there is more good news, he may recover from his illness. The master is considerate of Ernie, but it is only serious from this point of view.”

The emperor glanced at Cuiwei, she was kneeling with lowered eyes, the pitiful look on her face made him feel a little guilty.

"Just do as you want." This is a trivial matter, and he doesn't have the energy to dwell on it.

The queen smiled meekly and asked again, "Look, master, what position is suitable for you?"

The emperor hesitated again when he heard the words, he hadn't thought about it.

Now that the queen mentioned it, she naturally had an idea, "Speaking of which, she is Concubine Kang's natal sister, and there is still room for concubine, but there are Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning in the palace..."

Cuiwei's background is lower than that of Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning, and it is unreasonable to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kang Ning.But the empress is not sure how the emperor treats Cuiwei, if it is lowered, the emperor will make face immediately.If it is going to be higher, the queen is not happy.All three of the Qingheng family were granted concubine status, which is too much honor.

The emperor's other things are muddy, but the balance of status is what he is best at. "She is a younger sister. If she can't come in, she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Kang. Reward the nobleman."

Cuiwei was surprised and delighted when she heard what the queen said to her concubine.If this is the concubine Feng, it would be a step up to the sky for her.She was high-minded, but she didn't dare to be so high.In the end, I relied on Qingheng's background. Concubine Kang came from the hidden mansion to serve, but she was only a concubine. If I became a concubine, Concubine Kang would be slapped in the face.

Think about it, the girl was always a concubine, she has served the master for so many years, but she is only a concubine, how unwelcoming she is to the master.

He also heard the master say that he was a nobleman, and he felt a little lost in his heart.

However, the conferment of a maid of honor is based on her promise. This time she skipped three ranks, which is also an exception.

So the emperor still has his own heart.Thinking of this, she bent down, thanked her, and trembled slightly.

The emperor has sharp eyes and has already seen it.If she still thinks that noble people are inferior, her heart will be too high, and she will be a little unhappy.

Thinking of another matter, she said to the queen, "Concubine Ning was also frightened by what happened earlier. I heard that she could not sleep well at night because she taught the imperial physician twice a day. If she can't sleep well, she can't conceive. I just lost two elder brothers, and now I am looking forward to the two of you..."

The empress listened quietly, when she heard that the emperor wanted to give Concubine Ning a position and a concubine, she couldn't understand.

He said that he was looking forward to the birth of the two of them, but in fact he only cared about Concubine Ning.

Now that I'm a concubine, when the eldest son of the emperor is born, I can't go up to the next level and become a noble concubine?It might also be given directly to an imperial concubine. The mother's status is high, and the child will have a family background. In the future, Concubine Ning's son will naturally be qualified to be a heir.

The queen sneered in her heart, the emperor had a good plan.

Fortunately, I was prepared. No matter how good the emperor's calculations were, he would be disappointed in the end.

So the empress did not change her face, and nodded frequently, "It should be. After all, Concubine Ning is young, and she is afraid that she will not be able to sleep well after being frightened. If this continues, it will not be good for the emperor's heir. Unlike me, who eats and sleeps soundly. ...Master is thoughtful, just do it like this, then we will do it together, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, her sister is a nobleman."

The emperor felt that things were going well, and the queen didn't refute him at all, and didn't even show any hesitation.He also said, "Let all government offices follow the established rules, and the canonization ceremony cannot be simplified. Also," pointing to Cuiwei on the ground, "Give me a jade character, and confer the honor of jade."
