Rebirth after waste

Chapter 96

The day after Jing Fushu was bestowed to death, Liu Gong received the news one after another.

What His Majesty said was that Jing ordered Bo Jinrou to murder the emperor's descendants and frame Yuan Chongrong in vain. The combination of the two is an unforgivable crime and he committed suicide.

It sounds high-sounding, and you can't find any mistakes, but it still can't stop everyone from being suspicious.

Jing Shi was convicted the day before, and died that night.In any case, His Majesty's action this time is really too fast.

Is he in such a hurry, is he trying to hide something?
However, everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to investigate.The news that His Majesty wants to hide from His Majesty will only go to the bottom of it if you don't want your life.What's more, everything has been settled, and there is no point in doing anything.

Thinking of Jing Fushu who passed away, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

This woman was once a legend in the harem of the Great Jin Dynasty.As the main concubine of Zhou Wang, she was able to withstand the huge pressure to serve His Majesty after her husband's death. Once she entered the palace, she was a holy favor, and even the former queen could not compete with her.

Regardless of the final outcome, she was indeed the envy of everyone.

Probably His Majesty still remembers these past events, so he was not as cruel to Jing Fushu as he was to Bo Jinrou.

She was buried in the Concubine Garden of Pingling as Jieyu, without a posthumous title.

Zhen Jieyu, who once favored the Sixth Palace, disappeared completely in the court just like that, leaving only a legend to the world, and countless stories of love and hatred were perfunctory after tea and dinner.

Just when the palace people were amazed by Jing Fushu's experience, the four-year New Year of Yongjia has come quietly.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor summoned Yu Shuyi and Gu Yunxian to the Dazheng Palace.

After they were seated, the emperor said calmly: "There was a lot of gossip in the womb earlier, which caused people to panic. I am impatient to hear those discussions, but I also know that rumors are more likely to breed under power. So, what can you two do? Divert everyone's attention?"

Yu Shuyi's eyes moved and she smiled, "The concubine has a way."

"tell me the story."

"It has been four years since Your Majesty ascended the throne, but the number of concubines in the palace has not been many, and many high positions are still vacant. At the same time, there are many concubines who have not been promoted for a long time. The concubine thought, since His Majesty wants to find Let's talk about other topics, why not seal the harem." Yu Shuyi said, "I believe that once this matter comes out, the concubines will not have the heart to talk about other things."

The emperor pondered for a while, "What you said is reasonable." After saying this, he did not make a decision immediately, but turned to look at Gu Yunxian, "Yunniang, what do you think?"

Gu Yun enviously said: "Miss Shuyi's suggestion is simple and feasible, and my concubine thinks it is very good."

"Then let's do this." The emperor finally made a decision, "It happens to be the New Year, and it is said to the outside world that it is the Sixth Palace of Enze and praying for the country."

"promise."

Now that the emperor had made his decision, he immediately started to deal with it.The list of concubines from the Six Palaces was sent, and the emperor scanned around, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Shuyi, "Zhuyang, you said that, I just remembered that you, Shuyi, have been in office for two years." right?"

Yu Shuyi smiled and said: "The concubine was conferred the title of Chongyi after His Majesty ascended the throne, and was promoted to Shuyi at the end of the first year of Yongjia. Now it's no more, no less, exactly three years."

"It's been a long time, it's time to be promoted once." The emperor said, "Anyway, the affairs of the harem are all handled by you now, so you can be promoted to Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines. In this position, you can do things It will be much more convenient.”

Yu Shuyi smiled, "The concubine thanked His Majesty for his kindness, and will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

The emperor signaled her to get up, then turned his gaze to Gu Yunxian, "Yun Niang, you..."

When he said this, he suddenly paused.

Gu Yunxian immediately understood his concerns.She was only promoted to this position in August this year, only four months ago.If it is promoted again, the speed will be too fast.

He was probably in a bit of trouble.

"The current status of the concubine is very good, and there is no need for a promotion." She said.

I thought that the emperor would stretch his brows after saying this, but he thought for a moment, but shook his head with a smile, "Everyone is promoted, how can you not be promoted? In this way, Yueniang is going to be promoted anyway, so you just start from the top." Let’s talk about charging.”

According to the rules of the country, for different positions of the same grade, the ones in the front are slightly higher than the ones in the back.Therefore, Gu Yunxian has been promoted from "Charging Capacity" to "Charging Yi", although the grade has not changed.

Gu Yunxian heard the words and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor said again: "Since you are promoted to Zhaoyi, Zhuyang, the position of Shuyi will be vacant. Who is better between Yueniang and Jingniang?"

Yu Shuyi thought for a moment, "Yueniang is pregnant now. According to the rules, after the concubine gives birth, all the concubines must be promoted to the next level. But just like the situation of sister Gu, the rank of nine concubines and above, within a year. Being promoted twice is really out of line. Therefore, the concubine thinks that it is better to choose a lower position for Yueniang among the nine concubines first, and it will not be too late to be promoted as Shuyi after she gives birth. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Her words are reasonable, and she is completely considering the order of the palace rules between the lines.

However, Gu Yunxian knew that the reason why she said this was because she didn't want Ming Chongyi to rise too fast.

If Jiang Yuechang is named Shuyi at this moment, she will be promoted to another level after giving birth, and she will really be on an equal footing with her.

She would never allow such a situation.

But even though he knew her thoughts, Gu Yunxian still admired her, her words were extremely ingenious.Don't talk about Zhou Quan's appropriateness, but more importantly, he also used himself as an example.Now she is the most favored in the palace, and she cannot enjoy the privileges, and Ming Chongyi is naturally even less entitled.

Sure enough, the emperor nodded in agreement when he heard what she said, "Then do as you said. Yueniang will be promoted to Xiuyi, and Jingniang will be promoted to Shuyuan."

Xiuyi is the seventh among the nine concubines, and Shuyuan is the fifth. That is to say, Zhu Jingru's status is now a little higher than Jiang Yuechang's.

These few high-status people have decided, and the rest will be simple.

Zhuang Jieyu was promoted to the third-rank noble concubine, Rou Wanyi was promoted to the third-rank Jieyu, Jin Muhua was promoted to the fifth-rank talented person, Ruan Qiongzhang and Xia Qiongzhang were promoted to the fifth-rank Rouhua and Fanghua respectively.There are also some concubines with lower status who have also been promoted by half a rank.

After all these people were arranged, the emperor's sight finally fell on a name.

Ding Meiren, Ye Ling.

Seeing his expression, Yu Shuyi tentatively said: "Ding Meiren did have a good relationship with Mrs. Jing in the past. If Your Majesty has any concerns, why don't you seal her up..."

"The concubine thinks it's impossible." Gu Yunxian interrupted her, "Miss Shuyi, have you forgotten why Your Majesty wants to seal the Six Palaces?"

Yu Shuyi was taken aback.

"Your Majesty sealed the Six Palaces to divert everyone's attention and stop staring at the dead Jing Shi. Now all the sisters have to be promoted, but there is no beauty. She has such a relationship with Jing Shi. When everyone sees it, what do you not understand?" Gu Yunxian said, "If Your Majesty does this, there will be no point in sealing the Six Palaces."

After saying this, she stopped talking, just took a small sip of the teacup on the side.

The emperor glanced at her, then looked at Dingmei's name, and smiled lightly for a long time, "I'll tell you, Jin Dingmei, Mrs. Ye, is the fourth-rank Shenyi."

Shen Yi.Be cautious.

Hearing the title, Gu Yunxian wondered in his heart whether Ye Ling could understand the meaning of the emperor.

If not, her future will be uncertain.

She followed her promise today and got a reward for Ye Ling.However, Ye Ling is treacherous and cunning, which is really hard for her to like.

So just now, she had a way to excuse Ye Ling and tell the emperor not to associate her with the Jing family, but she didn't do that.Not only that, but she also confirmed the relationship between Ye Ling and Jing Fushu directly in the words, and also used rumors to make the emperor promote her position, which felt a little bit of a last resort.

How she will go in the future has nothing to do with her.

After the matter was settled, Yu Shuyi stood up and saluted, ready to leave.The emperor responded casually, but his eyes fell on Gu Yunxian.Seeing this, Yu Shuyi immediately understood, turned around knowingly and left, and left alone.

Seeing Yu Shuyi left, the emperor stretched out his hand to Gu Yunxian, with gentle eyes, "Come here."

Gu Yunxian smiled, got up and walked over, and sat beside him.

The emperor held her in his arms, and took a deep breath of her fragrance.

These days, he likes this movement more and more. It seems that holding her like this and feeling her breath will reduce the faint worry in his heart.

"Why don't you look at me today?" He murmured.

Gu Yunxian lowered his eyes, "Is there any? Why does this concubine feel that he has been looking at His Majesty all the time?"

"Lie. I paid attention to you. A few times when Zhuyang was talking, you looked at the ground, wondering what you were thinking." He sighed, "I don't know why, I can see you every now and then. But every time I feel like I haven’t seen him in a long time.”

Gu Yunxian knew what to say to please him at such a time, such as "not seeing you for a day is like three autumns", for example, "If your majesty really misses your concubine, don't ask others to come with you when you see your concubine" .Whether it's soft words or jealousy, she knows how to measure it.

But she tried to open her mouth, but nothing came out.

A wave of boredom welled up in her heart, and she felt exhausted.

In the past, she worked so hard just to make him happy and to ensure that her grace would not fade.But at that time, she did all this to defeat Jing Fushu, to revenge.

Now that Jing Fushu finally died, while her wish was fulfilled, she also lost the belief that had supported her all along.

These days, she is very lazy.I don't want to use my brain anymore, and I don't want to plan people's hearts. The only thing I do that is a little thoughtful is to use words to suppress Dingmeiren today.

It's just because for her now, whether it's inviting pets or fighting, it seems meaningless.

What's the point of doing this?

He frowned slightly after not hearing the answer from the woman in his arms for a long time.Looking down, she saw that her eyes were erratic, exactly the same as before.

She actually started to wander again.
