Chapter 228 Ruyi 25

Yongzheng also followed Yinqi's gaze and looked over, his mind flashing back to all that Concubine Hua had done for him over the years. For a moment, he felt both warm and guilty. Yongzheng was very clear about Concubine Hua's feelings for him since the day she got married.

Seeing that Yongzheng understood what he meant, Yinqi and Jinzhong looked at each other and smiled knowingly. After Yongzheng finished recalling the past and came back to his senses, Yinqi continued to speak.

“So this matter is actually very simple. As long as my royal brother is willing to explain your difficulties to Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua will not be sad because of it.

However, doing so would be a debt to Concubine Hua. Since Concubine Hua cannot be appointed as a noble concubine, how about giving Concubine Hua a title as compensation?"

"Give me another title..."

Yinqi's suggestion made Yongzheng subconsciously twirl the beads in his hand. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, there had never been a concubine with dual titles. It was not impossible to use this as compensation.

(I checked the concubines of the Qing Dynasty and did not find any concubines with dual titles in that dynasty. If there were any, they were usually given extra titles to the concubines of the previous emperor. Of course, it may be that I did not find it. Those who know are welcome to inform and correct me.)

"Yes, this is the only imperial concubine with two titles. When the time comes, my brother will think of a nice title for Concubine Hua. I'm sure Concubine Hua will be very touched when she finds out about this ingenuity."

At the end of that day, Yinqi saw that Yongzheng was still thoughtful after getting his idea, so he did not stay after dinner and returned to Changqiu Palace with Jinzhong.

After several days, Yinqi still didn't see Yongzheng make a decision on the matter. Gradually, he put the matter aside and stopped paying attention to it. The day of Mid-Autumn Festival came.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was also the celebration banquet for Prince Dun’s triumphant return to the capital, so this banquet was extremely grand, and Concubine Yu, who hosted the palace banquet, was also highly praised.

Yongzheng was so happy that he gave many rewards to Prince Dun and Yinqi, several meritorious officials, as well as Concubine Yu, who hosted the perfect palace banquet today.

After many days of consideration, he finally issued the imperial decree to seal the six palaces when no one was prepared.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Only by supporting the court and extending happiness, can we rely on gentleness and kindness. In compliance with the benevolent instructions of the Empress Dowager, I promote Consort Yu Geng to the rank of Imperial Consort.

Concubine Xi, Niuhulu, was known as Concubine Xi.

Concubine Jing Feng was named Concubine Jing Guifei.

Hua Fei Nian was Zhao Hua Fei.

Shunpin Fucha was Shunfei.

Concubine Chun Fang Jia was Concubine Chun.

Concubine Yi, surnamed Ulanara, was Concubine Yi.

Concubine Ying An was promoted to Concubine Ying.

Ning Changzai was promoted to noble lady of the Wu family.

"The noble lady of the Guo family"

Yongzheng's bold move shocked everyone at the banquet.

The ministers saw that the emperor did not resist their suggestions to establish a new queen these days and thought that the emperor was persuaded by them. They did not expect that the emperor would actually do such a thing.

Some older ministers immediately thought of Kangxi's previous move of not appointing a new empress after he had appointed an imperial concubine. Now they understood that Yongzheng was indirectly rejecting their proposal.

This made some Manchu officials who still hoped that their daughters could become queens feel very disappointed.

But after all, under the emperor's decree, even if they had other suggestions in their minds, they dared not express them. There was no way those ministers who had ideas in mind could do so but to suppress their regrets, as they regretted missing out on such an opportunity to achieve success overnight.

But when everyone reacted, they all focused their attention on Concubine Hua in front of them. After all, this time when the six palaces were conferred titles, no one expected that the Emperor did not appoint Concubine Hua as a noble concubine.

For a moment, everyone's eyes inevitably became meaningful, and they were even more wondering in their hearts, could it be that Concubine Hua, who had been favored for many years, had finally fallen out of favor?

But no matter how people looked at her, among the concubines kneeling in front to express their gratitude, Concubine Hua did not look angry at all, and she even had a smile on her face.

When the emperor called her, she threw a coquettish glance at Yongzheng who was sitting at the upper seat.

This result, which was different from what everyone expected, made everyone curious. Only Hua Fei herself knew that although she had fallen in status, what she got was much more than what she had gotten from this meeting.

And her concession this time was also for the emperor's sake.

For this reason, the emperor has been very kind to her these days, making her feel as if time has returned to the days when she first entered the palace. Not to mention that the emperor specially bestowed on her the first double title since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor was so devoted to her, and Concubine Hua was happy. As long as the emperor had her in his heart, she could be a little humble and not care about her position.

Afterwards, Yongzheng did not feel guilty about Concubine Zhaohua's tolerance again. In all the days of Yongzheng's life, his favorite was indeed Concubine Zhaohua as he said.

Even though later Concubine Xi and Concubine Ying gave birth to the fifth princess Shuhe and the eighth prince Hongzhou respectively, she only shared equal favor with Concubine Zhaohua in the first few months after the royal heir was born.

For the rest of the time, Yongzheng still spent most of the month in Yikun Palace accompanying Concubine Zhaohua.

This also disappointed those in the previous dynasty and the harem who had speculated that Concubine Zhaohua had fallen out of favor. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Concubine Zhaohua was still in favor.

The only thing that made them feel relieved was that the Nian family of the previous dynasty did not receive any special treatment from the emperor, otherwise these censors and civil servants would have had something to say again.

In May of the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, Baobao Le's mansion was built.

Ever since the queen was banished to the cold palace three years ago, the Ulanala clan has been implicated. Even Amanarbu of Qingying, the highest-ranking official in the clan, has been reprimanded by the emperor.

There were no other young men in the family who could be used. Although Qingke was promoted to Yipin in the harem, she was not as favored as Concubine Zhaohua and Concubine Xi.

Now if the Ulanala clan wants to make a name for themselves, they can only wait for the day when Baobao Le ascends the throne, and Qingying can only turn things around if she gives birth to a boy.

However, Qingying, who is now expected by the Ulanala clan, is sad that her young man favors someone else.

"Master, the prince clearly arrived at the gate of our yard today, but Gao Gege intercepted him. You have to think of a way."

(I wanted to change this title, but for some reason it always gets out of place, so I'll just stick with the title in the original drama)

In the bedroom, A Ruo stood there complaining. She had just had a quarrel with Mo Xin in Gao Xiyue's room, but unfortunately she didn't get any benefit, so she had to go back to her room to complain to Qing Ying.

But no matter how much she said, Ruyi in front of her just embroidered on the embroidery frame in her hands with a calm expression and no reaction.

However, A'ruo had long been accustomed to Ruyi's behavior. Even though her master didn't say anything, A'ruo didn't care and continued to say whatever she wanted to say.

Anyway, Qingying is usually like this. Even if she said something too much, Qingying would at most scold her and would not punish herself.

In the end, Qingying herself was annoyed by A'ruo's chattering, so she put down the embroidery frame in her hands and stopped A'ruo's chattering.
