Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 97

Rong Huang casually glanced at the paperwork piled high on the case, sat down on the chair brought by Yun Shu, and looked up at Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye's heart sank, and he asked: "What's wrong?"

Rong Huang said lightly: "I just came back from the Compassionate Ning Palace."

Xuan Ye's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, the old ancestor made things difficult for you?" Although the Empress Dowager still respected Rong Huang on the surface, Xuan Ye knew about it, because she was born in the Niu Hulu clan, The Empress Dowager has always disliked Rong Huang and the child in her womb.

Rong Huang lowered her head, as if she wanted to acquiesce, but as if she remembered something, she quickly shook her head.

"The old ancestor is sick, how can he have the strength to embarrass me? It's just that her old man warned me."

"Warning?" Xuan Ye frowned.

Rong Huang bit her lips, and said in a low voice: "Yes, she warned me that if I have any unreasonable thoughts, don't even think about giving birth safely."

Xuan Ye suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.This is indeed what the Empress Dowager said.In the past, the Empress Dowager could not speak so clearly, it was because her body was still strong.But now... the imperial physician said that the empress dowager was getting old and was stimulated by Huizhu's death, so I am afraid that time is numbered.

It was reasonable and reasonable for her to speak harshly to Rong Huang when she was dying, so Xuan Ye did not doubt Rong Huang at all.

Seeing the reddish rims of Rong Huang's eyes, he held her cold hands distressedly, and comforted him repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, little Fenghuang is not afraid. With me here, no one will try to hurt your mother and child."

Rong Huang said hesitantly: "Including... the old ancestor?"

Xuan Ye did not hesitate this time: "Including."

But Rong Huang still said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't come here today to sue you. Actually, I think... what the old ancestor said makes sense."

"Makes sense?" Xuan Ye looked at her strangely.

Rong Huang nodded, met his gaze and said: "The Emperor has shown us Niu Hulu family so much favor, once I give birth to a son... the empress dowager is afraid, afraid that the emperor will make our child the crown prince."

Xuan Ye's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.Rong Huang's guess is not wrong at all, this is what the Empress Dowager is worried about.

"Xuan Ye, believe me, I don't mean to let the child compete for the crown prince." She held his hand behind her back and said in a deep voice.

Xuan Ye looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness: "I know."

Back then Rong Huang could be the empress, but he made her his concubine, she never complained about being wronged once.Later, Xuan Ye took the initiative to seal her and her family's titles again and again, so in the eyes of the emperor, Rong Huang didn't value these things.

In fact, who doesn't want power and status?Rong Huang just didn't show it.

Rong Huang smiled lightly, and said softly: "In that case, can I ask the emperor for a favor?"

"Tell me." He looked at her tenderly, as if he could promise her the whole world.

But Kangxi didn't expect that Rong Huang would persuade him softly: "Let's set up a prince, okay?"

Xuan Ye was startled: "Who is standing?" Her child hadn't been born yet, Xuan Ye really couldn't understand why Rong Huang would take the initiative to bring this up.

"The concubine has no right to interfere with the emperor's decision, but the concubine privately thinks that the second elder brother is the best candidate." She deliberately called herself "concubine" to show her dignity, Xuan Ye naturally understood.In fact, the second elder brother Li was also Xuan Ye's thought, but he felt that he was in his prime, so he didn't need to establish a reserve so early.

However, if the Empress Dowager is relentless towards Ronghuang's mother and son because of the establishment of the crown prince, why not establish the crown prince earlier in order to protect their mother and son and let the elderly grandmother rest in peace?

After sending Rong Huang away, Xuan Ye thought over and over again, and finally decided to make the second elder brother the crown prince.Of course, before that, what he wanted to do more was to stand behind.

Make his little phoenix the queen.

The Queen's position, which was six years late, could finally fall into the hands of his beloved woman.

After Rong Huang officially became the empress, the first decree issued by the Jin Dynasty was to make Concubine Yi, the adoptive mother of the crown prince Yinreng, the noble concubine.Concubine Hui followed suit and was promoted to Concubine Hui.Rong Huang considered that the rookie girl would enter the palace next year, so he made Yigui's Guo Luoluo family a suitable concubine, and Chang Wuya's family was a virtuous man.In addition, Huizhu of the Borzigit family who died in an "accidental" fall into the water was named Concubine Hui.

In this way, not only the former dynasty, but even the harem were praised by everyone for Rong Huang's conferment of empress.

Of course, except for the two women.One was the Empress Dowager who was recuperating in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the other was Ma Jia Anmin who was captured by Rong Huang and brought to the Kun Ning Palace.

After Rong Huang was formally named Empress, Kangxi ordered her to move to the palace.Because of Hesheli's loss of virginity, the Kunning Palace only allowed her to stay for less than a day on the wedding day.Fortunately, the status of Kunning Palace in the palace is very important. In the past few years, there have been special people responsible for repairing and cleaning, and it is still clean and tidy.

Originally, Rong Huang was pregnant and it was not suitable to move, but after Xuan Ye asked Rong Huang's opinion, she expressed her willingness to move to Kunning Palace, and the emperor issued an imperial decree.

Ronghuang moved to the palace with many considerations.As soon as she is crowned queen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely send many newcomers, and the Yikun Palace is not big enough to fit in.Secondly, Yikun Palace and Kunning Palace are almost next to each other, so it is not troublesome to move them.Third, and the most important point is that on the north side of Kunning Palace is the Imperial Garden, passing through the Imperial Garden is the inaccessible Qin'an Hall, and a little further north is the Shenwu Gate.It is much more convenient to escape from Kunning Palace than Yikun Palace.

Moreover, Ronghuang's plan is to escape from the palace after Ronghuang gives birth, at most five or six months from now.To be honest, Rong Huang was not as good as a queen in her previous life, not even half a year.If I can't stop going back to Kunning Palace to enjoy myself, wouldn't it be for nothing that I entered the palace for Mei Luo and fought for so many years?

Facts have proved that Rong Huang's decision is correct.If she hadn't moved to Kunning Palace at that time, she would have been a trapped beast in the Forbidden City for the rest of her life and could not be freed!

After finishing a series of canonization ceremonies, Rong Huang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, and gathered up his energy to clean up the Ma Jia family.

Because she wanted to leave the Forbidden City, Rong Huang used the pretext of being pregnant to push most of the palace affairs to the newly conferred Concubine Yi.If Concubine Yi is too busy, ask Concubine Hui to help her, so that Rong Huang will also have a leisure time.

After explaining all this, it was the hottest August in the Forbidden City in a blink of an eye.After Rong Huang walked into the room where Ma Jiashi was locked up in summer clothes, he couldn't help but frowned: "Why is it so stinky?"

This is a small warehouse, which was originally used to store sundries.The room was not big, and there was nothing but a well-bundled Margaret and a barrel.

Jing Yi supported Rong Huang to take a few steps back, and explained: "I heard that the empress is coming, and the Gong bucket has already been taken out. It's just that Mrs. Rong hasn't bathed for a long time, and there are probably lice on her body, that's why she's doing this." Smelly."

Rong Huang covered her nose, shook her head and said, "Bring her out, and take her to the West Side Hall."

Jing Yi responded and directed several young eunuchs to help.After they left the people in the west side hall, they stood aside, waiting for their master's order.

Rong Huang sat firmly on the main seat, and then said: "Take off the cloth strip from her mouth."

"Empress, this..." The little eunuch in charge of guarding hesitated and said: "This woman is crazy, she may bite people, or say some unpleasant things, this servant is worried..."

This little eunuch was also young, and dared to question his master's decision.But Rong Huang saw that he was caring about herself, so she didn't mean to blame him, but just smiled and said: "It's so far away, she can't bite Bengong. As for words...she, Ma Jiashi, is just Bengong It’s nothing more than a defeated underling, no matter what she says, it’s just asking for humiliation.”

Ma Jiashi trembled when she heard the words, her eyes fixed on Ronghuang, as if she was about to spew fire.

Only then did the little eunuch respond, and untied Ma Jia Anmin's mouth.But unexpectedly, Ma Jiashi just trembled and didn't speak.

After Rong Huang signaled Jing Yi to leave with the other people, she looked at Ma Jiashi with a light smile and said, "I heard that you've been pretending to be crazy these days, why, do you think that you can escape this catastrophe?"

Ma Jiashi still didn't speak.

Rong Huang smiled, shook his head and said: "Why, you want to pretend to be dumb again this time? It's okay for you not to speak, I can help you and let you be a real dumb."

"You are so vicious, aren't you afraid of breaking your own child?" Ma Jia was afraid that Rong Huang would cut off her tongue, and finally lost her temper.

Rong Huang's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "In terms of viciousness, how can I compare with you, Ma Jia Anmin?"

Knowing that she had come to a desperate situation, Ma Jia calmed down, looked around the gorgeous Kunning Palace with almost greedy eyes, and finally set her eyes on Rong Huang: "Everything that originally belonged to me was taken away by you. , are you still not satisfied? You are the queen, you are the most honorable woman in the world! And me, I have already lost everything, can't you let me go? Think of it as accumulating virtue for your child?"
