Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 344 (46) Unintentionally Standing as Empress Yinyu Youyao (Part [-])
[After three years of persuasion after the funeral, the king has no intention of setting up a new queen;]

[Yinyu was seriously ill and could not return to heaven, and died before reaching his full age. 】

The new year is coming soon. Xuan Ye once said to Rong Er that the battle situation in the south is about to be decided. Since the first month, the Qing army entered Chengdu, restored Guangyuan, and the rebel general Wu Zhimao was captured. , or regained, only Wu Sangui's grandson Wu Shifan's small forces and Taiwan's Zheng Jing's rebels have not yet been wiped out, but overall, the victory is set, and Yi concubine gave birth to a prince again, and the atmosphere in the palace is very good.

At the beginning of February, Concubine De gave birth to another son. Concubine Yi's son Xuan Ye was named Yinqi, and this son was named Yinzuo. Since Concubine De was in the position of concubine, she could raise this son herself, and Concubine Yi was still in confinement. Later, Rong'er went to see her, and there was inevitably some sadness in her tone, and it was fate if she thought about it. It was a coincidence that Yin Qi was born in her head, and Rong'er also comforted her. Qi's blessing, after all, the queen mother's status is much more noble.

On this day Xuan Ye went to the Palace of Compassion to Ning to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and after greeting the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager looked at Xuan Ye and said, "Grandson, in a few days it will be the third anniversary of Empress Xiaozhao."

"Yes, grandson has sent someone to arrange it." Xuan Ye nodded in response.

"Today, a lady has ordered her to enter the palace to greet Ai's family, does my grandson know what they are talking to Ai's family?" The Empress Dowager said softly, looking up at Xuan Ye's eyes.

Xuan Ye had a general idea in his mind, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh? What did you say?"

"Alas!" The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "It's not about the emperor accepting the empress. It has been three years since Xiaozhao passed away, and there is a vacancy for the empress. People inside and outside the palace are worrying about this."

"I'm not in a hurry, why are they in a hurry!" Xuan Ye snorted coldly, in fact, he had already guessed this.

"Hey! The words are actually true. Just as a country cannot live without a king, this king can't live without a queen!" The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "You know, your mother has always hoped that Concubine Yigui can be promoted to be the Queen Mother!" After that, it can be regarded as continuing the shadow of your biological mother in this palace."

"Grandmother!" Xuan Ye looked at the Empress Dowager seriously, "In fact, some officials have mentioned to me the matter of setting up a queen in the past few days, but the mausoleum of the grandson has not yet been completed, and neither of the two empresses has been buried. Why do you want to accept it!"

"Is it just because of this?" The Empress Dowager asked clearly.

Xuan Ye knew that he couldn't hide it from the Empress Dowager, and said with a light smile, "Emperor Grandmother Shengming, this is just a good excuse, an irrefutable good reason for the courtiers." Xuan Ye's voice suddenly lowered, "In fact, The grandson really doesn't want to accept the empress. After Xiaozhao's death, the grandson no longer intends to accept the empress. Take Concubine Yi as an example. She is not only my concubine, but also my cousin. She is weak, and I really feel sorry for her. But if we accept her as a queen, will she want more like Xiao Zhao, and ask for more, and if I can't give it to her, will she also lose her mind like Xiao Zhao?"

"Xiu Ning probably won't, she has a gentler temper." The Empress Dowager said softly.

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly, "Grandmother, before Xiao Zhao became a queen, who would have thought that she would choose this path? Sometimes we think we understand it well, but we don't actually understand it. Grandson has a big heart." Some of them are still with Rong'er, and now that the war in the south is gradually leveling off, Sun'er doesn't want to use this political bargaining chip anymore!"

After listening to Xuan Ye's words, Xiao Zhuang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said softly: "The grandson is getting old, and the emperor's grandmother is getting old, so many ideas may be wrong, well, let's put aside the matter after accepting it for a while. Let it go, let's discuss it after the two empresses are buried."

Xuan Ye nodded, "That's fine too."
