Chapter 527: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 60
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, a shrewd light flashed in them, and she said calmly: "The Emperor has his own reasons for doing things. I am old, so I will not interfere in these matters."
"Yes, Queen Mother." The nanny bowed and retreated, but secretly guessed what the Queen Mother was thinking.
Although the Queen Mother said that she would not interfere, was she really so indifferent in her heart?
……
When Concubine Chun learned the news that Er Qing was named Imperial Noble Concubine, she was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. Upon hearing the news, the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the scalding tea splashed all over her, but she was unaware of it and just stood there blankly, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Empress, are you okay?" Seeing this, the palace maid Yu Hu hurried forward to support her, her tone full of worry.
Concubine Chun came back to her senses, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were trembling slightly, but she couldn't speak.
"Imperial Consort? She...she was actually...actually named Imperial Consort?!" Concubine Chun's voice was trembling with a hint of disbelief and deep resentment.
"Your Majesty, please don't get excited. Be careful not to get sick from being angry." Yu Hu hastened to comfort her. She knew that Concubine Chun had always been proud and arrogant, and now that she was humiliated by Er Qing like this, she must be feeling bad.
"Are you getting sick from anger? What do I have to be afraid of now?!" Concubine Chun stood up suddenly, pushed Yu Hu away, her eyes filled with crazy jealousy and hatred.
"Why did Erqing get all this?! The emperor...he actually doted on her so much..."
Concubine Chun became more and more excited as she spoke, and her body began to tremble as if she would faint at any moment.
"Your Highness, don't get excited. The Emperor has just released you from your confinement!"
Concubine Chun took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. She was not someone who would give up easily. In this harem, who would have the last laugh? Who could say for sure until the last moment?
She slowly walked to the window, looking at the blooming peonies outside, but in her heart she was thinking about how to bring Er Qing down.
A head-on confrontation is obviously not going to work. Er Qing is now protected by the emperor. If he acts rashly, he will only bring about his own destruction.
She had to find another way to find Er Qing's weakness so that she could hit her with one strike...
In Yongshou Palace, Er Qing was overjoyed when she learned the news that she was named Imperial Noble Consort, but she still maintained a dignified demeanor, as if all this was within her expectations.
"Congratulations, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. Congratulations, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!" The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt on the ground and congratulated in unison.
Er Qing looked at the people kneeling in front of her, her heart filled with pride and satisfaction.
She knew that from now on, no one in the harem could compete with her!
"Everyone get up." Er Qing said lightly, but there was a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!" Everyone stood up with flattering smiles on their faces, as if Er Qing was already the master of this harem.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor specifically ordered our servants to bring you this phoenix coronet and bridal bridal robe, saying that he would wear it for you personally." An eunuch knelt respectfully in front of Er Qing, holding an exquisite mahogany box.
Er Qing opened the box and saw a golden phoenix crown and a shawl embroidered with a phoenix pattern inside. They were exquisitely made and extremely luxurious.
She gently stroked the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal robe, her eyes gleaming with ambition.
"Where is the emperor?" Er Qing asked, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is currently reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace. He said he will come over after he finishes handling government affairs."
Er Qing nodded and signaled the palace maids to dress her up.
She wants to welcome the glory that belongs to her with the most perfect attitude!
……
After the child was born, Er Qing was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, the same position as the Vice Queen. In the harem, except for the Queen Mother, she was the most senior.
On the day of the baby's full moon, the emperor held a banquet for all the ministers, and the harem was also very lively. But Ke Erqing felt bored. The fine clothes and delicious food, the flattery, all made her feel bored.
She thought of Concubine Chun. She would not let her go easily. The reason she let her go last time was just because she wanted to have some fun with her.
There was singing and dancing, the sound of stringed instruments was endless, and the whole place was filled with joy and peace.
The ladies dressed in luxurious court robes, with fawning smiles on their faces, surrounded Er Qing, their words were full of compliments.
"Look at the Imperial Concubine's belly. She has recovered so well. You can't tell at all that she just gave birth!"
"That's right. Your Majesty's complexion is now more rosy than before. I guess the position of Imperial Concubine is really good for one!"
"Of course. Who in the harem can compare to you, Your Majesty? Even when the Queen was alive, she might not be as glorious as you are now!"
There was endless compliments from all around, but Er Qing could not take a single word in. She acted like a royal concubine, keeping a perfect smile on her face, but in her heart she was thinking about how to completely defeat Concubine Chun.
Although Concubine Chun suffered a lot during the last house arrest, she was not seriously injured. Now that she has made a comeback, she must not take it lightly.
"I'm a little tired, you all may leave." Er Qing said softly, but her tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, your Majesty." Everyone bowed and saluted.
Er Qing thought of something interesting. Doesn’t Concubine Chun like Fu Heng?
It just so happened that she hadn't figured out how to take revenge on Fu Heng yet, so this was a good opportunity for her!
She had to think carefully about how to use Concubine Chun's feelings for Fu Heng to ruin the reputation of these two people and make them never stand up again. It would be best if the emperor saw their "affair" with his own eyes. It was fun just thinking about it.
After dealing with the memorials, Qianlong couldn't wait to rush to Yongshou Palace.
He wanted to see how graceful and stunning his Qing'er, the apple of his eye, would be at the child's full-month party.
Before he even stepped into the gate of Yongshou Palace, he heard Erqing's bell-like laughter coming from inside. Qianlong was even more delighted. He seemed to be able to imagine how beautiful and charming Erqing was at this moment.
He walked quickly into the hall, only to see Er Qing sitting alone on the main seat with a meaningful smile on her lips. There was a hint of coldness in that smile, which was very different from her usual gentle and quiet appearance.
Qianlong was puzzled, but he remained calm and asked with a smile: "Qing'er, are you in a good mood today? What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"
Er Qing heard Qianlong's voice and quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty?"
"I came to see you and the child." Qianlong said, then walked forward and helped Erqing up.
"What are you thinking about, Qing'er?" Qianlong asked gently. He stroked Erqing's cheek lightly, feeling her delicate skin with his fingertips, his eyes full of doting.
"Of course I'm thinking about how to harm people!" Er Qing's eyes were charming and her tone was coquettish, as if she was just saying that today's snacks were not sweet enough.
