Chapter 127: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 47
Su Lujun almost hugged Hongli's feet to beg for mercy, but was kicked away by Hongli. Seeing the chaos at this time, Ruyi quickly crawled out to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince and his men did not mean to offend us. Please show mercy."
"If I offended you unintentionally, you are already so rebellious. If I offended you intentionally, wouldn't that be disloyalty and disrespect for the Emperor's grace?"
Even when he saw Ruyi, he kicked her. Just as Wei Yanwan was about to get up, she was startled by Ruyi lying at her feet. The two looked at each other for a while before watching Ruyi being awkwardly helped up by惢心.
After Wei Yanwan had seen enough, she stood up and advised Hongli: "Your Majesty, no matter how angry you are, you must take care of your body. The eldest and third princes did not behave properly. As a king and father, you should teach them more. You may as well judge them later."
"Your Highness is right, Father Royal, tell Your Highness to go with peace of mind."
Jingse didn't want to pay attention to these people's chaos at first, but if they continued to make trouble, the Empress Dowager would not be able to die in peace. She spoke up only after seeing Wei Yanwan coming out to persuade them. As for those who had caused trouble at her Empress Dowager's funeral, she remembered every one of them.
Hongli gave Wei Yanwan this face, but in the evening he issued an edict to reprimand her, saying: "These two people must not inherit the throne... You are so unfilial, I cannot bear to kill you because of the father-son relationship. You should know the grace of preservation and live a peaceful life! I also ask all the kings and ministers to bear witness to this, and I will never break my promise."
Wei Yanwan knew at a glance that Hongli was taking this opportunity to carry out a rectification. Not only the two princes and Concubine Chun were convicted that night, but also hundreds of officials from the Imperial Household Department and those who held funeral ceremonies in the Ministry of Rites. The entire capital city was plunged into a bloodbath.
This was not enough, Hongli began to punish people in the court one by one.
This storm affected a wide range of people, from the prince who had the opportunity to inherit the throne in the future, to high-ranking officials such as governors, ministers, and provincial governors, and provincial governors; to grassroots officials such as county magistrates and county magistrates.
Hongli is in power, and the policy of leniency and harmony still exists, but everyone in the court is worried about their own safety. Let them know that our emperor is no longer the same emperor who just took power.
In the past, Hongli looked down upon his royal father's harsh rule, but now he understands that if he gives them a little face, they can use it to open a dyeing factory.
Therefore, he had planned this incident in advance. After the queen's funeral was over, the atmosphere in the court became solemn and solemn.
Wei Yanwan knew that the other party had ignored the queen for more than ten years and did not really have any true feelings for her. He was just using this as an excuse to get the answer he wanted.
Afterwards, Wei Yanwan began to admire this decisive and ruthless emperor. Why in this derived world, Hongli doesn't seem like the scumbag dragon in the drama?
Looking at his neat appearance, he doesn't look like the son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty who was constrained in every way.
In the Cining Palace, the empress dowager talked to Hongli again. Now that the empress had passed away, she would have to appoint another empress in the future, so the empress dowager had to think more about herself.
"The Emperor has confined Concubine Chun to her house. It's all her fault because she didn't teach her child well enough. The child is still young. The Emperor has punished and scolded her, so let's just leave it at that."
"My son knows, but because Yonghuang is the eldest son, it has fostered ambitions that he shouldn't have." Hongli took a sip of tea, his expression gloomy and said no more.
Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother said no more, but just said to him: "Now that things have come to this, you still have to make more plans. The harem cannot be left without a master for a day. The Emperor should consider the candidate for the successor."
Hongli knew what the empress dowager was worried about, and he did not refuse her directly. He just said to her: "I know, but the queen has just passed away. Let's make plans after the mourning period is over."
"The Emperor is kind and merciful. I don't insist that you appoint her as the Empress right away. You can appoint her as the Imperial Noble Consort first, and then appoint her as the Empress after the three-year mourning period is over."
"In that case, then let's follow the Empress Dowager's wishes."
The Queen Mother looked at him tentatively: "Then who should be chosen..."
"I have already made up my mind. Wei is kind and gentle, and she can assist the queen in managing the six palaces. She is the best candidate."
"Ms. Wei has a good character, but she has no family and her family background is low, so I'm afraid she won't be able to convince the public."
Hongli shook his head and smiled, "If her background is not good, I can find her a good one. It is not difficult."
The Queen Mother saw Hongli's resolute look and knew what he had been planning. She sneered and said, "In this case, the positions in the palace have not changed for a long time. Why not confer titles on the harem this time?"
"The Empress is thoughtful."
After the two people talked about the affairs of the harem, Hongli left. Now that the battle of Jinchuan was imminent, Hongli appointed Nianqin to take command.
The Empress Dowager originally intended to stop it after hearing this, but was blocked by Hongli indifferently. If Nianqin was transferred away, her spies in the previous dynasty would be almost gone.
Wei Yanwan knew that the battle of Jinchuan was also thrilling, and it had not even been completely recovered, and it might even break out again in the later period, but Nianqin? Can it work?
In April, Wei Yanwan was canonized as Imperial Noble Consort by Hongli, and even the character "Yi" was added to her title.
At first, Hongli simply thought that this word was good. After Wei Yanwan saw it, she said to Hongli, "I like this word, but if that's the case, what about Concubine Xian?"
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then let's change Ruyi's name back to Qingying from now on."
As soon as Hongli gave the order, Wei Yanwan was looked at sideways by the six palaces, and Concubine Xian was laughed at by the six palaces. From then on, her name was just Qingying.
Seeing Qingying, who was originally as calm as a chrysanthemum, smash a set of tea sets, Suo Xin realized that her master was not really indifferent. She packed up her things silently and Qingying felt cold all over.
Your Majesty... Your Majesty knew that she had changed her name, so why did he ask her to change it back? Lingyi, Wei Yanwan always gets the advantage, but what about her?
Does the emperor really not miss her at all?
Everyone in the harem was promoted collectively, but Concubine Chun and Qingying were ignored by him because of their previous defiance. The whole palace was in a festive mood, except for these two who looked gloomy.
After this incident, the empress dowager finally understood how important Qingying was in the emperor's heart - as insignificant as a reed or willow.
Wei Yanwan was dressed in court robes and received the respect of the six palaces. She looked down at them and said with a smile, "Sisters, there is no need to be polite. I am only the Imperial Consort. I don't need to visit you every morning and evening. As long as you sisters behave yourself, there will be no trouble. If anyone deliberately stirs up trouble, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."
"We, the concubines, would like to thank the Imperial Concubine for her teachings."
After talking for a while, they were allowed to leave. Wei Yanwan finally relaxed and looked at Chunchan and said with a smile: "Chunchan, this day has come for me too."
"Master, your good days are yet to come. I will definitely accompany you to the most honorable seat in the future."
Chun Chan also knew that his master was very powerful, but he never thought that such a day would come!
Not long after, Jinzhong came to congratulate her: "Your servant greets Imperial Noble Consort Lingyi. May the Imperial Noble Consort be well and healthy."
