Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

Chapter 140: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 60

On the second day of August in the fifteenth year, Hongli appointed Grand Secretary Fu Heng as the chief envoy and Grand Secretary Shi Yizheng as the deputy envoy, and enthroned Wei Yanwan as the empress.

After the imperial edict was read, Wei Yanwan took a sedan chair to the Qianqing Palace. All the way to the steps, thousands of people came to congratulate her, hundreds of officials knelt to welcome her, and all the concubines in the harem were there, watching her walk step by step to the emperor.

Qingying, wearing a court dress, looked at Wei Yanwan and the emperor standing side by side. Once upon a time, this position was what she wanted most. She always felt a little regretful when she thought about how she missed the opportunity to become the emperor's legitimate wife.

Who in the world doesn't want to be the wife of a husband? But the only person he can call his wife is the queen.

Qingying lamented her bad luck, but was also grateful for the feelings she had with Hongli. She also felt that young people's feelings were fickle, which kept her busy.

Jingse watched Wei Yanwan ascend the throne, and thinking of her concern for the Empress Dowager, she was not so opposed to Wei Yanwan becoming the Empress.

The Qing Dynasty must have a queen. Rather than having Concubine Xian, whom he and the Empress Dowager dislike, it would be better to have Wei Yanwan. At least he and her have no direct conflict of interest.

Wei Yanwan stood at this height, looking at the people below shouting "Long live a thousand years", and smiled at Hongli.

Hongli also nodded slightly, reached out and held her hand to receive congratulations from the people.

Because of the empress's enthronement, Hongli even exempted his subordinates from taxes for half a year as a way of praying for blessings. Wei Yanwan also funded the provision of porridge in the suburbs of the capital for three months as a token of her favor.

After the enthronement ceremony, Wei Yanwan was so tired that she leaned back on a chair in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Now that she had become the queen, Hongli specially ordered people to renovate the Yongshou Palace and connect it with the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with a small garden built in the middle. Wei Yanwan could then live directly in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and ask the concubines to pay their respects in the Yongshou Palace at the back.

Wei Yanwan originally wanted to dissuade Hongli from such a large-scale construction project, but Hongli had already made up his mind, so Wei Yanwan simply ignored it.

Yonghuang had been seriously ill for a long time. This time he dreamed of his mother. After waking up, he vomited blood again and claimed that he would go to find Empress Xiaoxian to argue.

Hongli went to see him under the mistaken persuasion. Seeing Yonghuang's terminally ill appearance, he finally gave up the escape in his heart. He summoned all the people in the Imperial Hospital, but found that the other party was already at the end of his strength and there was no way to save him.

Hongli looked at him. This child had a stubborn temper and had forced himself into this desperate situation because of his scolding.

"Father, my son... the only regret I have is that I was unable to seek justice for my mother!"

"Back then, it was Empress Xiaoxian. It was Empress Xiaoxian who killed my mother!"

Perhaps because he knew that he would not live long, he knew that the emperor would not allow the deceased Empress Xiaoxian to do anything for his mother. However, even if he could not seek justice for his mother, he would discredit the position of Empress Xiaoxian in the emperor's heart!

He couldn't just watch his mother die without any comfort in the afterlife because of that vicious woman, Empress Xiaoxian!

"Who told you?" Hongli was not angry. He just felt that the man was despicable. The person who told him was simply trapping Yonghuang in this lie forever. If he was made angry, Yonghuang would no longer be a threat.

However, when he issued the edict, Yonghuang had already been targeted by him as a target that could not inherit the throne. Who on earth would be so deliberate in harming a prince who was not loved by his father and had no chance of ascending the throne?

Yongqi stood beside Hongli. Although there was no pity in his eyes when he saw his elder brother like this, there was no mockery or relief in his heart either. He thought it was too early to talk about these things now, and everything had to be done according to the Empress Dowager's wishes.

After Hongli made a big fuss in the eldest prince's mansion, Qingying came but could not see Yonghuang for the last time.

She also has some feelings for this child. She raised this child in the first place, and if she had not been sent to the cold palace, he would not have been in such a helpless state now.

But things have already happened, and there is no point in talking about them now.

After Wei Yanwan found out, she asked someone to preside over Yonghuang's funeral and specially appointed Qingying to be the presiding officer, so as to preserve their mother-son relationship.

At the time, the ceremony of crowning the empress was so grand and exciting that even the people in the cold palace knew about it. Hai Lan still held on to a glimmer of hope, but after asking, she found out that it was Wei Yanwan who finally ascended the throne.

That’s not all. After Wei Yanwan ascended the throne, Hongli also promoted Zhangjia clan to a higher rank and promoted her to the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner. Now she was considered to be the most honorable person in the world.

Agui was granted the title of second-class duke and promoted to the position of Cabinet Scholar and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

After Wei Yanwan was crowned queen, she met Agui's wife, Guaerjia, for the first time.

"Your humble servant Guarjia pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"Sister-in-law, please stand up. This is the first time we meet. I am sorry for being rude. I was busy these days and failed to have a chat with you. It's a pity." Wei Yanwan smiled and looked at the pretty and dignified woman below.

Their branch of the Guaerjia clan was quite powerful, and many members of their family served the emperor in the court. This time, she took advantage of it.

"No, Your Majesty is the mother of the country, so you must have many things to worry about. I am ignorant and cannot serve Your Majesty. I really sigh."

Presumably, everyone in the family had explained everything to her clearly. Wei Yanwan smiled and said to her, "We are a family, so we share the same fate. I haven't met my nephew yet, so I don't know what his personality is like."

"The child is naughty, so the master and I will keep a close watch on him and teach him carefully."

"That couldn't be better."

Wei Yanwan kept her for lunch, and asked Yongqi to come and meet her. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you have never met Yongqi, right? This kid is a rascal, and he was spoiled by his father. Sister-in-law, don't let him be scared later."

When Yongqi came out, Guaerjia realized that this child looked smart and people liked him at first sight.

Guaerjia talked to Yongqi for a while, and Wei Yanwan saw her off with a smile, followed by several loads of rewards.

When Guaerjia returned, she said to Agui, "The Queen is indeed majestic. The Yongshou Palace was built by the Emperor to be extremely spacious and grand. I saw the Fifth Prince and he is indeed smart and clever."

Agui's eyes darkened. At that time, he was impeached by the court for the Nianqin incident and was almost demoted. Now that the emperor promoted him, he finally felt relieved.

"Then what the Queen meant..."

"The Queen's attitude doesn't seem like a rejection, but rather a desire for more contact with us. The Queen has laid out all these things."

When Agui thought about the reward he had just received, he knew that Wei Yanwan was satisfied with them.

The Fucha family has lost its queen and has no prince's bloodline, so they can make some moves in the future...

Now they have risen to a higher level. Only royal family members and nobles can enter the Bordered Yellow Banner, while they were only in the Plain Blue Banner in the beginning. It can be seen how important it is to have a backer.

Whether it was the empress in the palace or them, they had to rely on each other closely in order to continue their glory for a hundred years...
