Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

The next day, as soon as Lu Wanning woke up and finished her breakfast, Qingzhi came in and reported that it was Zhou Cairen who came to see her.

Holding a rattle in her hand, Lu Wanning teased the fourth princess without raising her head and said, "No see."

Hearing this, Qingzhi responded with a smile, then went out and told Zhou Cairen who was waiting at the door, "Zhou Cairen, please go back, our master misses you."

Zhou Cairen looked at Qingzhi with a solemn face in front of him, bit his lips, and asked in a low voice: "Does your master know all about it?"

Qingzhi glanced at Zhou Cairen, and asked back: "What does Zhou Cairen say our master knows?"

"No...it's nothing." Seeing that Qingzhi didn't admit it, Zhou Cairen didn't ask any more questions, but when she turned to leave, she said again in a low voice, "In fact, I don't want to harm Concubine Zhuang."

Qingzhi didn't speak, and after Zhou Cairen left, Qingzhi told Lu Wanning what Zhou Cairen said.

Lu Wanning snorted coldly, and said, "I've already done whatever I want, so what's the use of talking about it."

Qingzhi nodded, "Master said yes, but I don't know when the emperor plans to deal with Zhou Cairen?"

Lu Wanning said: "Wait and see, tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday, no matter what happens, I should wait until after the Empress Dowager's birthday."

After the empress dowager's birthday, she waited for a few more days, just when Lu Wanning suspected that the emperor was not going to deal with Zhou Cairen, and thought that if the emperor didn't plan to deal with Zhou Cairen, she would find a way to repay Zhou Cairen later on. , Lu Wanning finally heard the result of the emperor's handling of Zhou Cairen.

Zhou Cairen was demoted to the rank of a commoner and thrown into the cold palace.

Zhou Cairen breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the imperial decree, but at the same time felt a little regretful.

Although the sword hanging above her head finally fell off, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore, King Yujun was still fine.

Although the emperor banned King Yu's feet, even after returning to Beijing, the emperor still let King Yu's feet be restricted in the mansion, but King Yu is still King Yu, enjoying the noble life of a prince, living well here world.

She waited so hard for so many years, but still failed to avenge her sister.

The decree that Zhou Cairen was thrown into the cold palace was issued the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhou Cairen was not to be favored. Such an unfavorable concubine being thrown into the cold palace did not cause any disturbance in the harem. A few imperial decrees can be said to have set off a huge wave in the harem.

Luo Chengjing decreed to promote Lu Wanning as Concubine Shu, Chen Zhaoyi as Concubine Kang, Wei Zhaoyi as Concubine Xian, and Cui Jieyu as Concubine Zhaoyi.

That is to say, all the concubines in the harem who went to the Summer Resort this time, except Concubine Jing, were all promoted to one level.

The concubine in the harem who failed to go to the Mountain Resort was envious and jealous when she heard the news, while the concubine Jing who went to the Mountain Resort but failed to be promoted was angry and sad.

Concubine Jing felt that there was a fire burning in her heart, and she was about to lose her mind due to the fire.

"what!!!"

Concubine Jing screamed and smashed all the things that could be smashed at hand, then sat back on the chair slumped, and said in a hoarse voice: "What does this mean, Your Majesty? Why is everyone promoted to the rank, but only one stays behind?" I'm one of them, isn't this obviously a joke for everyone to see me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down first. This slave thinks that the emperor didn't promote you this time because you are already a concubine, so it's not good to be promoted easily."

Sujuan looked at Concubine Jing with red eyes, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, think about it, if you are promoted further, you will be a noble concubine or a queen directly. If the emperor promotes you as a noble concubine this time, That can only mean that the emperor has no intention of making you a queen, how many of my imperial concubines have finally become queens?"

"But just because the emperor didn't promote you this time, after Xia Mei gave birth to the prince, with the prince by your side, and with the help of the general, wouldn't it be a matter of course for you to ascend to the next position?"

Concubine Jing was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "You're right, I shouldn't care about this, what I should think about most now is how to let the emperor hand over the little prince to me to educate after Xia Meisheng gave birth to the little prince."

In the past, only she and Lu Wanning were qualified to educate the prince. Concubine Xi was no longer a threat. She was absolutely sure of educating the prince for Xia Meiren.

But now Chen Zhaoyi has become Concubine Kang, Wei Zhaoyi has become Concubine Xian, both of them have the qualifications to educate the prince, Cui Jieyu has also become Zhaoyi.

She didn't take Zhaoyi in the palace seriously before, but the emperor's actions this time made her understand that as long as the emperor thinks, the emperor can make these Zhaoyi concubines qualified to raise children.

Therefore, whether she can raise the child in Xia Meiren's womb has become a variable.

She had to plan carefully, and what she had to do now was to first determine whether the child in Xia Meiren's womb was a boy or a girl.

If she worked so hard for a long time and the child in Xia Meiren's womb turned out to be a princess, she would be at a big loss.

Concubine Jing thought for a while and asked Sujuan, "Is Xia Meiren pregnant for almost five months?"

Sujuan counted the days and said: "If you go back to your mother, in ten days, Beauty Xia will be pregnant for five months."

Concubine Jing nodded, "When the time comes, let Doctor Zhang take care of Xia Meiren to see if it is a boy or a girl."

"Yes, ma'am."

At this time in Ruichang Palace, Qingzhi and others were surrounding Lu Wanning to congratulate Lu Wanning on her promotion to Concubine Shu.

Lu Wanning was naturally happy to be promoted, but this promotion was a bit sudden to Lu Wanning. After giving birth to the fourth princess, the emperor never mentioned the promotion. Lu Wanning thought that the emperor did not intend to promote herself. Thinking of the fact that the emperor has saved up to this moment, he banned everyone.

Looking at the beaming faces in front of her, Lu Wanning couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She has been in the palace for more than four years, and now she has become a concubine. She has to think about how she will go in the future.

Concubine Kang, Concubine Xian and Cui Zhaoyi, who were promoted together with Lu Wanning, were a little confused by the sudden promotion edict.

They never thought that they would be able to be promoted when they came back from the summer resort. If they were favored by the emperor when they were in the summer resort, and the emperor promoted them when they came back, they would also be able to figure it out, but the emperor was escaping the summer heat He obviously treated them mediocrely in the villa.

Jin Huan looked at Cui Jieyu's frowning expression and persuaded with a smile, "Zhaoyi, don't think too much, anyway, promotion is always a good thing."

Cui Jieyu laughed when she heard the words, "You are right, such a happy event should make everyone happy, everyone in Shen Xiangxie will be rewarded."

Jin Huan said happily: "My servant thanked Zhaoyi on their behalf."
