Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 151 Wrath and Concubine Feng (two chapters)
When Luo Jingsheng came back from the cold palace, he didn't say a word, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Xiao Ding silently followed behind Luo Jingsheng, carefully holding the piece of burnt wood, Xiao Ding pretended not to see the surprised looks from many eunuchs and maids along the way.

Luo Jingsheng walked directly into Qingling Palace, turned around suddenly, saw Xiaoding was hesitating, and then said, "Come in, in the future, you will follow me by my side."

The eunuchs around couldn't help showing envy and jealousy, but Xiao Ding was not overly excited, just a little surprised and hesitant.

"But... but the slave is the master's young talent."

Xiao Ding's words made the surrounding eunuchs scold him for being stupid, but Luo Jingsheng seemed to appreciate his straightforward temperament, instead of being angry, he spoke softly.

"It's not a problem, I'll let someone tell Ding Wan."

The entire palace belongs to Luo Jingsheng, he just wants a slave, could Ding Jiayi still refuse?
Only then did Xiao Ding nod his head, and followed Luo Jingsheng step by step into the main hall of Qingling Palace.

Carefully placing the piece of burnt wood on a long desk, Xiao Ding hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully regardless of the black ash on his body, and then thanked him.

Luo Jingsheng waved at him: "Go and wash up and come see me."

Xiao Ding let out an "oh" and quickly backed out.

And when he walked out of the hall, he couldn't help showing a look of relief in his eyes.

"The master really predicted things like a god, and he even predicted His Majesty's reaction... Now I have become a little eunuch next to His Majesty, what should I do with the affairs in Qingque Palace..."

Xiao Ding was worried all the way, and he didn't even know when someone helped him change into a brand new purple eunuch uniform.

When Xiao Ding returned to the main hall after freshening up, Luo Jingsheng still maintained the posture before he left, motionless, staring at the burnt wood on the table in a daze.

In his eyes, there was a look that Xiao Ding couldn't understand, but he knew one of the emotions, called heartache.

"Slave Ding Boyan, long live my greetings."

Xiao Ding bowed down neatly and respectfully, and his voice finally pulled Luo Jingsheng back.

"Ding Boyan? The name is not bad, who gave it to you?" Luo Jingsheng asked casually.

"It's the master... No, it's the name Ding Cai gave to the slave. The slave was originally called Xiao San'er, and he didn't have a surname. Ding Cai appreciated the slave, took him over, and gave him a proper name."

Xiao Ding said in a straightforward manner, without concealing his respect for Ding Jiayi in his tone.

But this made Luo Jingsheng very satisfied.

The eunuchs who served him in the past, such as Lin Dasheng, now think highly of themselves and rely on their elders to sell their elders. Except for the emperor, they don't pay attention to others at all.

Don't look at Luo Jingsheng's calm expression at this moment, but in fact the anger in his heart has not weakened at all.

"Lin Dasheng made a mistake and was dealt with by me. In the future, he will be replaced by you!"

Luo Jingsheng's understatement directly promoted Xiao Ding, a little eunuch with no rank, to one of the three most powerful eunuchs in the palace.

The three most trusted eunuchs of the emperor, in addition to Lin Dasheng, the other two are Eunuch Wen who is in charge of the imperial study, and Eunuch Qi who is in charge of etiquette regulations. Lin Dasheng is in charge of the emperor's daily life. The position should be the lowest, but because he is the closest to the emperor, he is the most favored and the most powerful.

Xiao Ding didn't know about these before, but the day before, Ding Jiayi explained to him the various divisions and responsibilities of the eunuchs in the palace in great detail, and instructed him for a whole night.

Thinking about it now, Xiao Ding couldn't help but wonder, did the master expect that he would be promoted?

The thought flashed through his mind and didn't stay for long.

"Your Majesty, this servant is young and doesn't understand anything, so I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

Xiao Ding fell to his knees with a "plop", and said with a sincere and sincere tone: "Your Majesty, although Eunuch Lin made a mistake, after all, he has followed His Majesty for decades and knows His Majesty's habits very well. There is also hard work, His Majesty thinks that he is old, why not let Eunuch Lin take the blame and make meritorious service?"

When Luo Jingsheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Alright, since you're pleading for him, then let Lin Dasheng come back!" Luo Jingsheng said blankly, "When he comes back, you can learn more from him."

After finishing speaking, Luo Jingsheng didn't want to say more on this topic, but asked about other things.

"How do you know that there are people living in the cold palace? And why did you send things there?"

Xiao Ding's expression froze, knowing that this was what the emperor really wanted to ask, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly answered.

His rhetoric was similar to the truth, but he concealed some things. He only said that Ding Jiayi often asked him to send things to the cold palace, but he himself didn't know the reason.

Luo Jingsheng didn't doubt it either, it seemed normal to him.

However, Luo Jingsheng was going to call Ding Jiayi to question him carefully, so he quickly let Xiao Ding go.

……

For Xiao Ding, although this day was thrilling, fortunately, it ended well.Unconventional promotion to be a great eunuch, this is something that many people in the palace dream of!
However, for some other people in the palace, a nightmare soon ushered in.

The first to bear the brunt was the original eunuch Lin Dasheng.

Lin Dasheng stayed in the storm room for a day and a night, and his old body was almost dragged down.Therefore, when he was taken out of the violence room to see Luo Jingsheng the next day, he burst into tears and expressed his regret.

Naturally, he didn't dare to hide anything about Luo Jingsheng's problem, so he explained the cause and effect in detail.

Then, a storm came in the palace.

On the day of the state banquet, the commander of the guards who was responsible for the security of the palace was directly dismissed, and the other guards who were in charge of guarding on duty were also severely punished.

The royal guards responsible for the security of the palace changed a large number directly.

This is not over yet, the palace also started a big cleaning and mopping up.

Luo Jingsheng was extremely annoyed at Concubine Wan's concealment and failure to report, and without even asking the reason, directly stripped most of the power from Concubine Wan's hands, and a group of palace people in Qinghua Palace were also disposed of.

There were also two other eunuchs, although they were not imprisoned in the violence room like Lin Dasheng, the punishment was not small.

Even in the court hall, civil and military officials could feel the emperor's anger.

The ministers related to Concubine Wan were suddenly released from Beijing, and most of them were in barren lands or where bandits were rampant.

Even Ding Xiangbo, who had been indifferent, was scolded.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Wan has lost her power.

As soon as the wind moved, countless pairs of eyes began to stare in the direction of the harem, no matter whether it was facing inward or outward.

Concubine Wan was ordered to stay in Qinghua Palace and not to leave, and the palace people of Qinghua Palace were not allowed to come and go at will.

The power in her hand was taken away, and those who flattered her fled in all directions, which made Concubine Wan almost smash the entire Qingfeng Palace in anger.

Concubine Wan knew very well that the only thing she could rely on was the emperor's favor, but this time, no matter how much she begged, no matter what means she used, Luo Jingsheng just ignored her.

Concubine Wan's loss of power naturally benefits the queen the most.

The phoenix seal returned to her hand, and the queen put on the phoenix robe again, walked out of the nunnery, and reappeared in people's sight.

Apart from the most important queen and concubine, the other concubines also had their ups and downs.

The ranks of the two concubines who were close to Concubine Wan were downgraded, and they had no support. These two concubines were very sensible and tucked their tails, not even daring to make a sound.

Among them, the most surprising thing is the change in Qingque Palace.

Everyone in the palace knows that there are two masters living in Qingque Palace, one is admired and loved by His Majesty, and the other is pregnant with a dragon seed.

However, the ranks of these two celebrities are not high, Ding Jiayi is only a third-rank talent, and Huanyue doesn't even have an official title.

But this time, Luo Jingsheng seemed to have thought of the two of them, and for some unknown reason, he directly decreed that they should be canonized at the same time.

Huanyue was conferred the title of Concubine Yi, ranking among the second rank.

But Ding Jiayi's canonization is even more weird and unpredictable.

She was not named a concubine, but a female Sixian.

Luo Jingsheng thought about Ding Jiayi's canonization for a long time.

Because Xiao Ding learned about the relationship between Ding Jiayi and Xuezui, Luo Jingsheng's feelings towards Ding Jiayi changed a lot, and it seemed that he transferred part of the guilt and affection for Xuezui to Ding Jiayi.

This kind of empathy effect is not uncommon, and it is also what Luo Jingsheng did to relieve his inner pain.

However, Ding Jiayi and Xuezui have the status of master and apprentice, so it is not easy for him to make Ding Jiayi a concubine, besides, Ding Jiayi has never been favored from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, Luo Jingsheng finally thought of promoting Ding Jiayi to a female official of internal affairs.

It's just that in this imperial palace, the highest rank of a female official is only the third rank, and her power is very limited. On the contrary, it is not as high as the power of the three great eunuchs.Therefore, after thinking about it, Luo Jingsheng ordered someone to find out such an official title from history.

Si Xian, as the name suggests, refers to Ding Jiayi's talented people, and this female Si Xian's official position has reached the second rank, which is equivalent to Huanyue's concubine rank.

This point was initially opposed by many people, whether it was the female officials in the palace, the eunuchs, or other concubines, it was incredible.

Surprisingly, Luo Jingsheng's attitude was extremely firm.

What's more, what's even more strange is that the empress and the newly-appointed Concubine Yi also remained silent.

When the decree of canonization came down, Ding Jiayi had just changed into the newly designed female official costume when she saw Huanyue walking towards her.

Originally, Huanyue became Concubine Yi, so naturally it was impossible to continue living in the same palace with her.

Luo Jingsheng directly gave Huanyue the Qingya Palace near Qingque Palace.

However, Huanyue was not very happy about it.

She is now pregnant for almost five months, moving house is a laborious task, she has to adapt to the new maid, and she has to guard against other people's dark hands, she is really powerless to worry about it.Therefore, Luo Jingsheng was specifically asked to let her continue to live in Qingque Palace until she gave birth.

Ding Jiayi didn't refuse either, the child in Huanyue's womb was very important, so it was better to be able to see it in front of her eyes.

"Concubine Yi is very polite."

Ding Jiayi first bowed his knees and saluted, squinting his eyes and smiling.

Huanyue is dressed in a luxurious goose-yellow brocade dress with peacock patterns, a gold silk brocade dress, and a fox fur cloak. Her black hair is combed into a flying fairy bun, with Liuyunbu rocking hairpins, purple jade begonia hairpins, etc. on her hairpins. Radiant, graceful and luxurious.

If she hadn't stopped her stomach at this moment, her face would have turned pale, she could almost be compared with Concubine Wan.

"Master Si Xian just made fun of me. You and I are of the same rank, so why do you have to salute me?" Huan Yue covered her mouth and smiled lightly, the worry on her brows gradually disappeared, and her smile became brighter and more charming.

Ding Jiayi raised her eyebrows, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is always the master. No matter how high-ranked I am, Sixian, I am still a servant."

After Huanyue's mother and Qinglan heard the words, a trace of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

These two people were sent by the queen, originally just to take care of Huanyue, but now Huanyue and Ding Jiayi canonized at the same time, these former queens naturally have to look and investigate more for the master.

Ding Jiayi and Huanyue looked at each other, and saw a trace of familiarity in each other's eyes.

"Concubine Yi, go in and sit for a while! Looking at the weather, it looks like it's going to snow. If it freezes the baby in your belly, it will be bad."

With that said, Ding Jiayi stepped forward and helped Huanyue to walk towards the back room.

The two behind Huanyue were about to catch up, when Qin Wanxia suddenly stepped in from the side, and grabbed them one by one.

"Nurse, Sister Qinglan, I have someone prepare hot tea and snacks in the side room, you two should sit down and use some too! My lord and the empress have some personal conversations before we go in."

The two of them did not suspect him, and followed Qin Wanxia to the side.

Ding Jiayi turned her head and gave Qin Wanxia an appreciative look, and quickly pulled Huanyue into the inner room and sat down.

"What's the point of pulling me in so anxiously?" Huan Yue asked with a puzzled expression.

Ding Jiayi looked outside the door and made sure that the two were far away, and then said in a low voice: "I just got the news yesterday that His Majesty attaches great importance to the child in your belly, and is going to send more people to take care of you."

Huanyue's eyes were even more perplexed. Logically speaking, this was a great thing, but Ding Jiayi's expression was very serious.

"Do you still remember the Xue Zui I mentioned to you?"

Huanyue nodded. On the day she was awarded the title, Ding Jiayi specially explained to her to prevent Huanyue from being overwhelmed.

Although the relationship between Ding Jiayi and Xuezui is secret, but now that Xuezui is dead, there is no need to continue to hide it.What's more, even the emperor knew about it, so it didn't matter that much whether other people knew about it or not.

"Although His Majesty has accepted the fact that Xue Zui is dead, he still does not give up in his heart. Xiao Ding overheard a few words from His Majesty two days ago."

Ding Jiayi took a deep breath, staring at Huan Yuedao with an extremely serious expression.

"He wants to abolish the empress!"

These four words sounded like a thunderbolt, and Huanyue stood up from her chair in shock.

"Your Majesty, do you want to abolish the Empress? Why is this? The Empress has never done anything wrong! Didn't Your Majesty return the Phoenix Seal to the Empress?"

Huanyue asked in disbelief, this news is really too shocking.

Ding Jiayi was also very surprised when she heard the news, but after Xiaoding explained a few words, she understood.

And even though she understood, she still couldn't admit it.

"Your Majesty has deep affection for Xue Zui, but he has never been able to give Xue Zui a title. At the beginning, he was forced by all the officials to make the current Empress Empress. But you have also seen that His Majesty has no affection for Empress Empress. People describe it as a stranger."

"Now that Xuezui has died, His Majesty has been blaming himself. He regrets his decision back then. Therefore, in order to clear Xuezui's innocence and give her a title, His Majesty's thoughts are a bit extreme. In His Majesty's heart, only the blood race is his best. The one he loves is also his only love, although as the emperor he can't refuse the concubines in the harem, but this wife always wants to give Xue Zui the name of his wife."

When Ding Jiayi said this, Huanyue had already heard the general idea.

"So, in order to give Xuezui the empress position, His Majesty wants to abolish the empress? This...is this too unbelievable?"

I have never heard of a living person being forced to such a degree for the sake of a dead person.

Ding Jiayi sighed, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, did Luo Jingsheng do this because of deep affection, or did he actually not understand what love is in his heart?
The thought flashed, and Ding Jiayi's expression quickly returned to the original.

"Then the child in my stomach..." Huanyue suddenly thought of something and asked hastily.

"The child hasn't been born yet, so naturally it can't be counted as the empress's name." Ding Jiayi finally got to the point, "In my opinion, His Majesty's original thought was that Xue Zui would be lonely all her life, with no status and no children. I am afraid that she will be lonely after death, so I want to continue her lineage. And it just so happens that you are pregnant now, His Majesty will naturally think of you as a child."

Huanyue didn't know what to use to describe her mood at this moment.

Seeing Huanyue's dull face, her face, which had become rosy due to being in a good mood these days, became extremely pale again.

Ding Jiayi shook her head secretly, who said the emperor loves deeply?It is clear that the emperor is ruthless.

"At the beginning, I thought it was strange why my title was called Concubine Yi. Now it seems that it meant to provide for the rest of my life. At that time, he was planning to give my child to her... Then what am I? What am I? What kind of?"

Huanyue spoke in a low voice, and gradually her voice became hysterical.

Ding Jiayi looked at her quietly, without words of comfort.

After a long time, Huanyue finally regained her composure, but her eyes were red and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Thank you for telling me this, for letting me wake up." Huanyue shook her head mockingly, "I am still very satisfied with this concubine, but I forgot that no matter how high the seat is in the harem, If you don’t have strength, you won’t be able to sit still, and you’ll still fall off. Just like Concubine Wan, and the queen in the future.”

As she said that, Huanyue stood up slowly, raised her chin slightly, looked in the direction of Zhenghua Hall, and twitched the corner of her mouth, revealing a sneer.

Her thin face was pale and almost transparent, and the graceful swan-like curvature of her chin and neck suddenly had water slipping down.

"I've already told you the news. It's up to you what to do. I can't help you, and I can't help you in this matter."

Ding Jiayi whispered behind her.

Huanyue turned her head, the smile on her face was even bigger, she was as cold as a cold moon, and her eyes were even colder to the bone.

Vaguely, Ding Jiayi suddenly thought of the situation when he saw Mingyue for the first time.

At that time, the bright moon was also as cold as the moon, stunningly beautiful, but later it became like that.

And now, will the happy moon in front of me be like the bright moon?

Involuntarily, a trace of vigilance suddenly appeared in Ding Jiayi's heart.

　Too anxious, I accidentally typed the chapter name wrong, it should be Zhen Fu and Feng Fei...
