Chapter 238: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Gao Jiyue (103)
"What housekeeper?"
Hongli laughed and scolded, "You are becoming more and more out of line in your words."
"Your Majesty, please don't think it's unpleasant. What I said is the truth."
Li Siqi added: "The Emperor wants me to assist in managing the affairs of the harem.
I can agree to your Majesty’s request.
But please, Your Majesty, also agree to one request of mine."
"any request?"
"Find help for me."
Li Siqi made a request confidently, "I don't want to die of exhaustion, so of course I need to find someone to help share the palace affairs.
The Emperor will not refuse.
"Promise, I promise you."
Hongli shook his head helplessly, "Who do you want to help you?"
"Just like the four concubines of Saint Ancestor."
Li Siqi responded with a smile, "Even though I can't find four concubines, I can still find three.
The Emperor asked Concubine Yu, Concubine Wan and Concubine Shu to help me manage the harem."
"they?"
Hongli reminded her, "If I remember correctly, Shupin is about to give birth.
How can she help you manage the affairs of the harem?"
"Of course I'll help after I give birth to the baby."
Li Siqi responded directly, "I will give her time to give birth to a child.
It’s not too late to go back to work after you have a baby.”
"You!"
Hongli was so angry at her that he laughed.
It is this kind of personality that makes it easier for him to trust.
……
a few days later.
An imperial decree appointing Gao Jiaxiyue as Imperial Noble Consort shocked the entire harem.
Ruyi was surprised and happy.
What was surprising was that the noble concubine became the vice-queen and then the imperial noble concubine.
What she was happy about was that it was only the title of Imperial Noble Consort, not the title of Queen.
She couldn't help but look forward to it.
Since Gao Jiaxiyue has become the imperial concubine.
Then the position of queen should be in her pocket.
Many people think so too.
Ruyi will be crowned as queen.
Next.
The Imperial Study sent three more imperial edicts to confer the title of consort upon her.
Concubine Yu, Keliyete Hailan, was canonized as Concubine Yu.
Concubine Wan Chen Wanyin was canonized as Concubine Wan.
Shupin Yehenala Yihuan was canonized as Shufei.
The three of them were conferred the title of concubine at the same time.
It instantly made the women in the harem envious and jealous.
Begin to look forward to the next imperial edict.
This wait lasted for several days.
The concubines waited vainly but never received the imperial edict they wanted.
Ruyi was able to keep her composure at the beginning.
She feels like she is the emperor's childhood sweetheart and the eldest prince's adoptive mother.
He also has three biological daughters.
The position of queen is something that can be easily obtained.
But the decree to crown her queen has not yet appeared, so how can she remain calm?
It had been a long time since Ruyi had used her status to break into the imperial study to see the emperor.
This time he came in a hurry, ready to repeat the same trick.
Ignoring others' attempts to stop him, he broke into the imperial study.
Everyone was watching her actions.
Not only the concubines in the harem knew that she had gone to the emperor.
At the princess' residence, Princess Jinghe, who had always been paying attention to Ruyi, also found out.
"How shameless."
Jinghe yelled angrily, "How could the Emperor allow her to be so presumptuous?"
"Princess, don't be angry."
The maidservant Xuanxuan whispered, "If aunt knew about this, she would definitely punish the princess."
"This princess is telling the truth."
Jinghe looked angry, but did not dare to curse again.
After all, the imperial aunt did not give herself face.
He would always complain to the Emperor.
Although she hated the other person, she couldn't do anything about it.
"Princess, my aunt said so."
Sissi had no choice but to remind her, “As a daughter, the princess has no right to interfere in the emperor’s harem.
No matter how low the concubines' status is, they are still your stepmothers and your elders.
Even if the princess is not used to it, she cannot say no."
"This princess doesn't bother to pay attention to those women."
Jinghe's eyes flashed with anger, "How dare they covet the position of Empress Dowager.
How could this princess let them go..."
"Princess, it is impossible for the Emperor to not appoint another empress."
There was a hint of helplessness in Xixi's eyes, "Even if it's not a woman in the harem, there will be other women.
Sooner or later someone will become the successor.
It would be better to let someone familiar to everyone take the throne."
"impossible."
Jinghe was still unwilling to accept another woman taking the throne that belonged to his mother.
Her eyes turned red with anger, "The Empress Dowager has only been gone for a few months.
How dare they snatch the Empress's position from the Empress Dowager?
How could this princess not care? "
"Princess, it's no use for you to worry about it."
Xixi felt exhausted, “Whether to confer the title of Empress is decided by the Emperor himself.
No one can change the emperor's mind.
Princess, please don't worry about it anymore.
Lest it accidentally get to the emperor's ears, he may punish you by making you copy the Filial Piety Sutra."
"You're right."
Jinghe bit his lip and said bitterly: "It all depends on the Emperor.
However, this princess will never let Ruyi take away the Empress Dowager’s position.
Instead of giving the position of empress to Ruyi, it would be better to give it to the imperial concubine... Imperial Noble Consort Wenhui.
The Empress Dowager once said that Concubine Wen Hui was the smartest and most sober person.
I believe the Empress Dowager would prefer her over Ruyi."
"Princess, Concubine Ling and Concubine Qing are both the Queen's people."
Xixi thought for a moment and then said, “Their lives in the harem are not easy now.
I hope the princess can help them this time."
"Help them?"
Although Jinghe is arrogant and proud, he is not a fool.
As soon as I heard it, I knew what these two people wanted.
She couldn't help but cursed again in a low voice, "These two idiots, she wanted to use this princess's hand to help them fight for a position.
Don't even consider whether they are suitable for each other.
Not to mention that this princess cannot insert the manual to appoint concubines.
Even if there is this opportunity, I will not help them.
It doesn't work at all.
This princess doesn't need such trash."
"..."
After hearing this, Xixi said nothing more.
Jinghe also fell silent.
After a while.
She murmured, "If the Emperor had not decreed the title of Queen.
Then this princess should go to Yiku Palace.
Send a gift to the Imperial Concubine."
……
No matter what Princess Jinghe's plans are.
The concubines in the harem were still paying attention to Ruyi who broke into the imperial study.
About half an hour.
Ruyi walked out of the imperial study in a daze.
She was seen crying like rain, all the way back to the Yanxi Palace.
No one has figured out what's going on yet.
Wang Qin personally delivered the Phoenix Seal to Yiku Palace.
And the Emperor’s decree was passed on, “The Imperial Concubine is in charge of all affairs of the harem.
Concubine Yu, Concubine Wan and Shu Chun.
The three of them assisted each other in managing the harem.
Mainly obey the orders and arrangements of the Imperial Concubine.
No one in the harem can question the decision of the Imperial Concubine.
The Imperial Concubine has full authority over all matters concerning the harem.
From now on, the concubines in the harem need to pay their respects to the Imperial Noble Consort!
No one is allowed to disrespect the Imperial Concubine."
This will is enough to explain everything.
After the concubines knew about it.
Whether you can accept it or not, you have to accept it in the end.
Compared to others.
The person who suffered the most was definitely Ruyi.
The emperor really didn't give her any face at all, let alone take her seriously.
Not to mention promotion, as one of the four concubines, she was not even given the opportunity to assist in managing the palace.
This is no different from slapping her in the face.
Ruyi’s tears were almost dry.
She still couldn't accept that the emperor only felt disgust, annoyance and boredom towards her.
It took more than ten years to plan.
Once she failed, she couldn't face anyone.
……
"Your humble concubine greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
The concubines bowed to the person in the main seat, "May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and longevity."
"Everyone, please stand up."
Li Siqi glanced at everyone and ordered, "Everyone, please sit down!"
