These days, Concubine Xian obviously intends to replace Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu. She will intervene in all matters in the harem, and she has arranged the Emperor's Longevity Festival very properly. After learning about it, the Empress Dowager praised her a lot . 【 】

On June [-]th, the emperor went to greet the empress dowager. The empress dowager first praised concubine Xian, then looked at the emperor with earnest words and said: "The queen's mother's respect for the world is like the harmony of heaven and earth, and the succession of the sun and the moon. Your spring and autumn, the emperor." At the peak of prosperity, internal governance needs people, so it is time to consider establishing a queen."

The emperor was shocked when he heard the words. The empress dowager raised the matter of becoming a queen at this time, which caught him off guard, and he was even more puzzled. Then he said seriously: "What does the empress dowager mean?"

"Concubine Xian was a concubine concubine bestowed by the late emperor when he was alive. She is demure and dignified, possessing both ability and political integrity. The emperor should follow the example of the ancestors and use Concubine Xian as the successor to Kunning. With her in charge of the harem, the Ai family can feel at ease." The queen mother laughed. road.

When the emperor heard the words, he refused without the slightest hesitation: "Emperor Niang, the empress has not been here for a long time, and I have no intention of becoming a successor."

"The harem needs someone to be in charge, the empress dowager also needs a daughter-in-law to serve her, and the empress dowager is old, so she can't ask for more!" the queen mother sighed.

"Emperor Niang, Concubine Xian can't do it!" The emperor simply clarified the words.

"No? Looking at the entire harem, who else can be a queen besides her? She is the side Fujin bestowed on you by the late emperor, and the other high-ranking concubines in the palace were all born as concubines. You can't go beyond her. These days Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu managed the harem. Although they did not make mistakes, they were not satisfactory. After Concubine Xian came, she did a few beautiful things with the help of many parties. In terms of managing the harem, she is the best choice, the emperor, The choice of empress is based on virtuousness, not beauty. If the emperor chooses his queen according to his personal preferences, it is absolutely impossible. If she is born as a maidservant, if she wants to be the empress, she must die unless Aijia dies!" said the queen mother I couldn't help being furious at this point.

"Emperor Niang, calm down, I have no intention of ordering a concubine!" The emperor said helplessly, he never thought of making another queen.

"That's good. There has never been a precedent for a maidservant to be a queen in this dynasty. If the emperor establishes her, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty will not agree, and the emperor will still be criticized by others," the queen mother said again.

"May the empress be at ease, I understand!" the emperor said in a deep voice.

"I also ask the emperor to make Concubine Xian the empress earlier!" The queen mother took a deep breath and said.

The emperor couldn't help getting a little annoyed. This month, the ministers in the court asked for the appointment of a crown prince. After severely punishing several people, he issued an order not to discuss the issue of the appointment of a crown prince. Only then did he clear his ears. He never thought that the queen mother would force him again. After Li Li, it can be said to be worse.

But at this time, he will not stand up no matter what, how can he be worthy of his dead queen like that.

"Emperor Niang, I don't want another queen!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Confused, you and the empress are deeply in love, the empress mother knows, how can the harem be peaceful without a empress, the Ai family will never agree to this matter!" The empress dowager also suddenly darkened her face.

After a while, seeing that the emperor did not answer, the queen mother sighed and said: "The Ai family knows that you can't bear to establish a new queen after the queen leaves, so you canonize the noble concubine Xian as the imperial concubine first, and take care of the sixth palace. Let's talk later!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother had already given in, the Emperor had no choice but to follow her wishes. All kindness and filial piety are the first priority. Concubine Xian has served the Queen Mother for many years and has never neglected her. Since the Queen Mother likes her, he will not say more.

"Emperor, the Ai family is also for the peace of the harem, and for your own good. The Ai family knows that you don't like Concubine Xian very much, and the incident on the east tour also makes you unable to let go of the emperor, but she is the best choice now." See the Queen Mother The emperor seemed very reluctant, and couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart.

The emperor suddenly felt that he had caused the empress dowager to worry a lot these days, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Yes, the empress dowager said yes, then it is good!"

"In this way, the Ai family will pass on Yi's decree tomorrow and tell it to the Six Palaces!" The Queen Mother laughed.

The emperor nodded lightly and didn't say much.

The next day was the first day of the seventh lunar month, the Empress Dowager summoned all the concubines from the harem to the Changchun Immortal Hall, although they didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to neglect, and hurried away early in the morning.

Concubine Xian learned about the decision between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor yesterday. She originally thought that she could only be an imperial concubine, but she never thought that the Empress Dowager would choose her as empress. After the surprise, endless joy overwhelmed her.

Due to excitement, Concubine Xian did not fall asleep all night, but her spirit was surprisingly good.

Outside the main hall of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, everyone gathered together, waiting for the Empress Dowager to get up and summon them.

Although Concubine Xian tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, everyone was not a fool and felt that something was wrong with her today.

"Look at her appearance, why are you so happy?" Concubine Chun pursed her lips and muttered.

"Could it be a happy event!" Concubine Jia, who was about to give birth, said in a low voice.

"You're happy?" Concubine Yu was astonished, and laughed uncontrollably: "Why did you think of that!"

Concubine Chun also laughed, and said softly: "Since the death of the seventh elder brother, the only concubine in the harem who has been favored is the younger sister Ling. If she is happy, then it is true. If others are happy, then it is... . "

Concubine Jia couldn't help laughing out loud, "I'm the one who was confused. If it's someone else, wouldn't it be dead?"

Concubine Xian was far away from them, she never heard them muttering anything, she suddenly turned her head and saw that they all looked at her with a weird smile, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, she said in her heart, let you be proud first, wait for me to take charge of the harem After that, we will get rid of you one by one.

Wei Ning'er frowned lightly, and said to the three who were secretly having fun: "Three sisters, I always feel a little uneasy today, is something big going to happen?"

Concubine Chun and the others looked at each other when they heard the words.

At this moment, the sound of the eunuch singing promises came from outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

"My Majesty, my Majesty is blessed and safe!" Everyone greeted them immediately.

"Get up!" The emperor lightly raised his hand, glanced at everyone, and said seriously: "Go into the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the Queen Mother also got up to wash and have a meal, and went to the main hall under the service of Mother Qiu and Lu Mo.

"Emperor mother!" The emperor bowed slightly, and then stepped forward and sat beside the queen mother.

"May the Empress Dowager be blessed and safe!" All the concubines greeted the Empress Dowager immediately.

"Excuse me, let's all sit down!" The Empress Dowager laughed.

"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager!" Only then did everyone get up and take their seats.

The queen mother glanced at everyone, and then smiled and said: "The harem cannot be left without a master for a day. These days, Aijia has thought about it and always feels that it is not appropriate. I also discussed with the emperor yesterday. The noble concubine Nala will inherit Kunning and register first. For the imperial concubine, take pictures of the affairs of the six palaces."

The Empress Dowager's words were like thunder on the ground, and all the concubines present were stunned.

Inheriting Kun Ning... is to be established as a queen, first to be in charge of the six palaces for the imperial concubine, and it is only a matter of time before she is established as the queen.

Wei Ning'er was the first to come back to her senses. She looked up at the emperor sitting high, her eyes were full of disbelief and grief.

The empress had only been away for a long time, and the emperor was in a hurry to become the empress. Wei Ning'er felt endless resentment in Wei Ning'er's heart because she was still the noble concubine Xian who had something to do with the empress' death.

The emperor was also a little caught off guard. What he discussed with the empress dowager yesterday was to confer concubine Xian as the imperial concubine and take charge of the harem. Go on, that's all, but the queen mother said it first at this time, isn't it difficult to ride a tiger?

"My concubine, thank you, Empress Dowager, thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian couldn't help but stood up and went to the center of the hall to thank her.

The queen mother let out a long sigh of relief. After all, Concubine Xian is also her niece, and her own people are always better than outsiders. It would be best for her to take the position of queen.

However, she was relieved, and she couldn't help the emperor's comfort. The queen mother immediately smiled and said: "Concubine Jia has raised two princes for the emperor, and now she is about to give birth again. The Ai family is very relieved. The concubine Ling was enfeoffed concubine Ling, concubine Shu was enfeoffed concubine Shu, and Chen Guiren is an old man in the palace, so it should be enfeoffed, so let's be enfeoffed as concubine, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to title her."

Everyone was still immersed in the shock of concubine Xian becoming the imperial concubine and wanting to aspire to the posthumous position, so the canonization of the few of them was just a foil.

"My concubine thanks the Empress Dowager for her kindness!" Chen Guiren took the lead in kneeling down to thank her.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your grace!" Concubine Shu also knelt down. She was even a little surprised. She never thought that the Empress Dowager would promote her. It's a matter of time.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness!" Concubine Jia was heavy and just stood up to thank her.

Wei Ning'er was still immersed in anger, so she didn't hear what the Empress Dowager was saying, until Concubine Yu touched her a few times, then she raised her head, but saw that everyone was looking at her with a look of surprise.

"What? Your concubine is dissatisfied that the Ai family has made you a concubine, and still wants to continue to be your concubine?" The queen mother's face changed a little.

"Emperor Niang, I am so happy to see your concubine Ling, so I lost my courtesy!" The emperor laughed.

Wei Ning'er raised her head and gave the emperor a cold look, then lowered her head, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness!"

Although the Empress Dowager was somewhat dissatisfied, the Emperor had already spoken for Wei Ning'er. In addition, today she also made Concubine Xian the Imperial Concubine as she wished, and she will become a Empress in the future. Naturally, the Emperor must not be displeased. As a concubine, she just blocked her in many ways. Today, she canonize her personally, which can be regarded as an explanation to the emperor.

"Get up!" The Empress Dowager smiled as she looked at Wei Ning'er, Concubine Shu and Chen Guiren who were kneeling on the ground.

"Yes!" Concubine Shu and Chen Guiren immediately stood up, while Wei Ning'er was still kneeling, and everyone present looked at her in amazement again.

Wei Ning'er raised her head, looked at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Concubine Chun stood up all of a sudden, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down beside Wei Ning'er, and said in a loud voice, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, Your majesty, noble concubine Xian has done a lot of evil, and everyone will punish her, how can she inherit Kunning? How can she be in charge of the harem?"
