Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chu Xi couldn't resist Xia Houqi, so she simply didn't give him a look, turned around and left angrily.

Xia Houqi followed her back to Tianfeng Palace.

"Aren't you going to the household department to order mao today?"

"What are you ordering? Do you want others to see my joke? You caused such a big fight early in the morning. If I still go to the Ministry of Finance, won't people treat me like a monkey?" Chu Xi didn't. He turned around and glared at Xia Houqi angrily.

Xia Houqi knew that he was in the wrong, so he said nothing more.

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw the 88-year-old betrothal gift that he had sent. It looked very impressive, and Xia Houqi also looked proud.

"Have you read the gift list? Is there anything missing? You tell me, and I will make it up for you immediately."

"That's enough, that's enough. If you keep adding more, I, Tianfeng Palace, won't be able to hold on anymore."

Chu Xi quickly refused, unable to find anything lacking.

"Then wait until you think about it and talk to me about it."

Chu Xi nodded, trying to change the topic. As soon as she saw the betrothal gift, she remembered the embarrassment of being surrounded by so many people in the morning, and she dug her toes on the ground.

Then all morning, Xiahou Qidu accompanied Chu Xi to stay in Tianfeng Palace. During lunch, Eunuch Fu led His Majesty's imperial edict to each palace to read it out.

Your Majesty has conferred the title of Concubine Rou.

When Chu Xi heard this decree, she knew it was the result of Nan Xi's last conversation with her father.

"Did you and His Majesty propose it?"

After Duke Fu left, Xia Houqi asked Chu Xi how to do it.

"Well, Nan Xi went to talk to Father about this matter, but she didn't expect that Father would issue an order today." Chu Xi responded lightly.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi nodded:

"That's good. Concubine Rou now has the power to compete with Concubine Lin, and she will be your help in the future."

"Concubine Lin should be anxious now. I really want to see her reaction, but unfortunately I can't." Chu Xi said with regret.

Hearing Chu Xi's words, Xia Houqi smiled fondly, "If you really want to go and see it, it's not impossible. I will take you to see it?"

"Do you have a solution?"

"Of course, come on, Your Highness Di Ji, I will take you to see the excitement."

After saying that, Chu Xi followed Xia Houqi to watch the fun.

Eunuch Fu brought Nangong Rui's decree, which spread throughout the harem, and finally came to Lin Guifei's Bailing Palace.

At this time, the eldest prince and the third princess were dining with Concubine Lin.

The reaction of the mother and son after hearing the imperial edict was extremely wonderful.

"How come your father, who is so good, can confer Concubine Rou as Noble Concubine Rou?" Nangong Wanyue did not calm down at first, so she asked Eunuch Fu directly.

"This old slave doesn't know. Now that the decree has been spread throughout the harem, the old slave will retire first and will go back to meet His Majesty."

Eunuch Fu smiled and then left with the imperial edict.After Eunuch Fu left, Concubine Lin threw the bowl and chopsticks to the ground.

Nangong Fuyang and Nangong Wanyue looked at each other. It was rare for them to see their mother and concubine looking so angry, and they were both a little frightened.

"Concubine Mother, please calm down. Concubine Rou is not worth it. How can her background be compared with Concubine Mother?" Nangong Fuyang advised.

"You also said that her background is not as good as mine, but now a palace maid can become a noble concubine like me. Moreover, she also has a title, which is half a level higher than mine!" Concubine Lin hated it! He said with itchy teeth.

Concubine Lin's title is a direct reference to her surname, while Concubine Rou's title "Rou" is a title awarded by His Majesty. Isn't it half a rank higher than her?

"Mother, is it possible that Concubine Rou is pregnant again? Otherwise, why would Father suddenly make her a concubine?" Nangong Wanyue reasonably raised a question.

Hearing this, Concubine Lin frowned, and then refuted the idea:
"Impossible. His Majesty has not favored the harem for many years. How did that bitch get pregnant?"

After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Nangong Wanyue thought about it carefully and found the same truth.

"Then why did it happen so suddenly, Father? It doesn't make sense."

"Mother, this matter is indeed a bit strange. You should find an opportunity to test Father. I always feel that there is someone behind the canonization of Concubine Rou." Nangong Fuyang reminded Concubine Lin in a low voice.

Hearing what he said, Concubine Lin narrowed her eyes and then said:
"You mean, His Majesty gave her the promotion because of other people's reputation?"

"It's very possible that my father is not the kind of person who promotes and demotes people for no reason. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster."

The mother and son looked at each other and understood what each other wanted to say. Only Nangong Wanyue, who was standing aside, was still wondering whether Concubine Rou was pregnant.

The bowls and chopsticks were smashed by Concubine Lin, so she had no intention of continuing to eat, so she asked Nangong Fuyang and Nangong Wanyue to go back to the palace respectively.

After they left, Concubine Lin looked at her personal maid:
"Le Heng, do you think His Majesty is using her to beat me?"

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. We haven't done anything excessive recently. Why would Your Majesty want to beat your Majesty?" Le Heng shook his head and said.

"That bitch, when she was still a concubine, I could still rub her. Now that she is a concubine, I have to act based on her face in the future. It's really infuriating!"

"Don't be angry, Madam. Even if Concubine Rou is a concubine, it doesn't matter. She has no family to support her, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Not to mention that she only gave birth to a princess and won't be able to achieve anything." Le Heng continued to comfort Concubine Lin.

"What about the princess? Isn't it the princess who is the emperor's concubine now?" Concubine Lin frowned and said displeased.

"Concubine Rou is not Queen Jingxian. When Queen Jingxian gives birth to a princess, she can be established as an imperial concubine. When she gives birth to a princess, she can only be a princess. Unlike you, the empress, you still have the eldest prince to rely on."

Leheng knew what she wanted to hear, so he picked something she liked and said it.

Sure enough, Concubine Lin's expression softened a lot after hearing Le Heng's words.

Then Concubine Lin spoke again:
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Queen Jingxian gave to His Majesty. Since Queen Jingxian's death, Your Majesty has never been blessed with any concubines, leaving so many concubines in the harem widowed and giving birth to another child. Such a foxy girl! She only knows how to seduce men!"

At this time, Chu Xi, who was lying on the roof, looked at Xia Houqi in confusion:

"Is it me she's talking about Hu Meizi???" Chu Xi pointed at herself again.

"Queen Jingxian only gave birth to you, what do you think?" Xia Houqi laughed.

She never thought that if she came to eat a melon, it would be eaten by herself.

"Isn't that right? I have heard, my slave, that the Regent sent someone to carry 88 betrothal gifts to Tianfeng Palace early this morning. It was such a huge battle. I don't know what kind of ecstasy the Emperor Ji gave the Regent. Let him spend half of his wealth as a betrothal gift to marry her!" Le Heng also echoed angrily.
