Chapter 106 Ambition
"My dear, I have inquired and found out that there are five decrees for the conferring of titles on the six palaces this time!
The third and fourth princes born to Concubine Hui and Li Cairen are almost one year old. Li Cairen was promoted to a higher rank when she found out she was pregnant, but Concubine Hui has not yet been rewarded for her contribution to childbirth.
Among the five decrees of promotion, there must be one for Concubine Hui. However, since the mother of the Fourth Prince received a reward in the Six Palaces, how could the mother of the Third Prince not receive one? Li Cairen should not be left out of the five decrees.
Shi Liangren took the eldest prince to the Pepper Palace every day to curry favor with the Empress, and who knows, he might even be able to get a share of the Empress's imperial edict.
There are only two wills left.
There are only a few concubines in the palace, including you, Concubine Ying, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhi, and Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Ying is a senior figure, so she might be able to get an imperial edict.
This is the last will.
Concubine Zhen, Lady Zhi and Lady Jiang, no matter how hard I try, I can't think of any reason why they were rewarded.
Previously, you were demoted so badly because of the slander of that bitch Zhu Qiu. It has been so long now, and your Majesty’s anger should have subsided. I think that even if you don’t want to restore your position, it shouldn’t be a problem to promote you one or two levels, and your title should be back.”
The palace maid counted on her fingers and analyzed to Yan Shuer, her eyebrows were curved and there was an exaggerated and flattering smile on her face.
She was not ugly, just barely pretty. If she were ugly, she would not be able to enter the palace and become a palace maid.
A palace maid with this appearance either grew up abnormally at an age when others grew up, or she was just a maid who got into the palace by chance.
Some people have no outstanding facial features, but they can coordinate the whole to form a face of elegant beauty.
She did the opposite.
Each of her facial features could be praised as exquisite if taken individually, but unexpectedly they combine to form a face that can only make people blush and look up and down at the sky, and it is difficult to say that her face is not ugly.
I don’t know from which corner Yan Shuer promoted this person.
"Da Zhuang, go outside and take a look. Where is the decree to seal off the six palaces? Why is it taking so long?"
Yan Shuer said while supporting her chin.
Qin Zhi has been quite satisfied with her recently, and she has put in a lot of effort to please Qin Zhi.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
The palace maid Da Zhuang is now the de facto head maid of Changchun Palace. The previous head maid Zhu Qiu, although she still holds the title of head maid, can she get away with it if she offends Yan Shuer?
As for the servant who betrayed her master, Yan Shuer could only say that she was dreaming!
Even though Yan Shu'er could not openly retaliate against Zhu Qiu due to the emperor's oral order, what about the other palace maids in Changchun Palace?
Zhu Qiu was still naive. Even if Yan Shu'er didn't give any direct instructions, those palace servants who wanted to move up and please Yan Shu'er would step on her once, twice, or even many times.
Da Zhuang hurriedly left Changchun Palace and went to inquire about the imperial decree to confer titles on the six palaces.
...................................
"Congratulations, beautiful lady. Congratulations, beautiful lady."
"My beauty, you are the only one who has been promoted above your rank. I have already said that His Majesty has you in his heart. You must stop belittling yourself!"
After Qin Zhi's thoughts were interrupted by the eldest prince, he completely forgot about Yan Shu'er, and her promotion was lost. Instead, Shi Qingzhang was promoted to another level.
"Yes, my beauty, the eldest prince is not only the eldest son of His Majesty, but also the eldest brother of all the princes. His status is also the most noble. With the eldest prince by your side, your future is bright and promising!"
The palace servants were afraid of breaking taboos, so they only dared to mention the eldest prince's noble status and did not mention his concubine mother at all.
Everyone congratulated her and the Lanlin Palace was filled with joy.
Shi Qingzhang held Qin Mingyu on his lap, touched his little face when he heard his words, a hint of complacency flashing in his eyes.
"My beauty, you know how much His Majesty has taken a liking to the Queen since she entered the palace. You were able to take His Majesty away from the Queen yesterday."
Shi Qingzhang instantly flew into a rage and interrupted Sui Wan's lies.
Sui Wan had known Qing Zhang since childhood. They had agreed that the two sisters would support each other in the deep palace. They grew up together and were assigned to serve in Lanlin Palace together.
Ever since Shi Qingzhang became the master of Lanlin Palace, Sui Wan's status has also risen, and she was promoted to be the head maid of Lanlin Palace.
“Shut up, your Majesty, wherever you want to go is your Majesty’s decision.
Yesterday, Your Majesty went to the Pepper Palace to look for the Empress for some important business.
I have always been a well-behaved person and have been extremely respectful to the Empress. How could I dare to take away the favor of Your Majesty and slap the Empress's face?
You are hurting my heart with your words!" Shi Qingzhang was angry and panicked.
"I know my mistake."
Sui Wan immediately knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake, but in his heart he disagreed with Qing Zhang's words.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.
Qing Zhang was born beautiful and was a legitimate concubine of a certain rank. It took her a lot of skill to win favor from the emperor.
Moreover, Qingzhang is supporting the eldest prince, so it is not impossible for him to become the empress dowager, not to mention the concubine, in the future.
