Chapter 220: Concubine
When Mrs. Deng finished her confinement, the two princesses were taken away and sent to their adoptive mother.
Jingle's health was not as good as Jingrou's, so Concubine Duan took extra care of her.
Originally, Concubine Duan's Yanqing Palace was empty and simple and plain, not like a concubine's palace.
But since Jingle came into being, Concubine Duan's Yanqing Palace has changed a lot, and the interior decoration has been completely new.
There are even more things for children.
Concubine Duan’s generosity this time is astonishing.
But this shows how much Concubine Duan values the little princess.
After all, Concubine Duan has always been low-key.
But although the whereabouts of the two princesses were of concern, another major event made the concubines even more worried.
The little prince born to Liu Jia was named Hongxuan by the emperor and was raised by Xia Dongchun.
Xia Dongchun now has two princes, and over the years, Xia Dongchun has been somewhat favored by the emperor. Huimin actively works for Xia Dongchun, and finally the emperor issues an edict, and the last spot for the position of concubine goes to Xia Dongchun.
Many people in the palace were resentful. Xia was really lucky. She relied on Concubine Xian all the way and was promoted to the position of concubine.
But even if it's unfair, they can't do anything about it.
After all, not everyone has her blessing to give birth to a prince in one go. The nobles in the same palace can also give birth to a prince. The most important thing is that she, Xia Dongchun, had a sharp vision and chose Concubine Xian as the big tree ten years ago.
You have to know that there were many outstanding concubines among the group of virtuous concubines back then, and the Queen and Hua Fei were the most popular ones for the concubines to rely on.
It is rare to be able to choose a virtuous concubine so quickly and keep her for ten years.
From this it seems that Xia Dongchun is not a simple person. The people in the harem do not think that this is just luck. Maybe he is a scheming person.
For a time, many concubines secretly observed Xia Dongchun and felt that he was also a ruthless character.
Not being keen on vying for favor became a tactic of playing hard to get in their eyes, brandishing swords and guns every day became a unique way to attract the emperor, speaking straightforwardly became a master of open conspiracy, and even many concubines began to guess the hidden meaning of Xia Dongchun's words.
It's definitely not simple.
A simple person cannot become a concubine.
Xia Dongchun was still very puzzled about these people's attitude towards him recently. Why did they look him up and down with shifty eyes?
Is this because she is too jealous of being made a concubine?
But Xia Dongchun herself had no obsession with being crowned a princess, but she was happy about being promoted.
Xia Dongchun was deeply moved when she learned that Huimin had run around to help her become a princess.
Originally, Xia Dongchun was prepared to stay in the position of concubine until her death. At most, she would become a royal concubine and then move up to a higher position, and then benefit from the influence of Hong Yao and Hong Han.
When the imperial decree about conferring the title of consort came out, Xia Dongchun was stunned and stood there in a daze. At that time, Su Peisheng saw Xia Dongchun's expression and teased her:
"My lady, I know you are happy, but you still have to accept my order."
Su Peisheng also had a sincere smile on his face. Jinxi worked in Chuxiu Palace. Although her actual master was Concubine Xian, she was now under the jurisdiction of Concubine Chao.
If Chaofei is well, Chuxiu Palace will be well. If Chuxiu Palace is well, Jinxi will also be better.
So when Su Peisheng saw that Xia Dongchun was able to get the position of concubine, he was really happy for her.
Xia Dongchun finally reacted and hurriedly bowed to receive the order. The entire Chuxiu Palace was filled with joy and decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.
Xia Dongchun has always been generous and directly rewarded the palace maids in Chuxiu Palace with two months' monthly allowance.
He also bought himself some new clothes and wandered around Chengqian Palace every day like a peacock spreading its tail.
Now she has successfully joined the group with the highest status. Except for the two imperial concubines, she no longer needs to pay respects to other concubines.
Moreover, she had a position and a title. Although she was ranked last among the concubines, it was still very remarkable.
For a time, countless people came to Chuxiu Palace to please Xia Dongchun, but they were all driven away by Xia Dongchun.
She still doesn't give face to anyone.
But Xia Dongchun also went to An Lingrong to show off several times.
Let her show off to An Lingrong in front of him——
"This is the title that Sister Min personally wrote for me~"
Thinking about her expression at that time, Xia Dongchun became angry, as if Huimin was only thinking about her.
cut!
Personally ~ gave me ~ a ~ title ~
Xia Dongchun went to the Yanxi Palace and was also weird.
"Sister Min personally helped me propose the position of consort to the Emperor~"
"I didn't want to~ I didn't expect it~"
Although An Lingrong was extremely jealous of her, she was not forgiving and retorted harshly. However, this time, Xia Dongchun was not angry despite An Lingrong's retort.
Didn’t you see that it was you who was crowned as the princess?
Last time, Sister Min had just planned a title for An Lingrong, and now she got herself a position as a concubine.
There was no favoritism at all, and Xia Dongchun was very proud of it.
When Xia Wei heard the news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
The choice he made back then was absolutely the right one. Xia Wei was so excited that he felt very proud for several days.
The officials who were working with him were all jealous of his smug look.
It's just that he has a daughter who is a concubine and a grandson who is a prince. Look how proud he is.
snort!
For a time, countless colleagues secretly cursed Xia Wei.
But this is nothing compared to how well my daughter is living now. This is all just jealousy of the Xia family.
Xia Wei was extremely happy. After his daughter entered the palace, he had been worried that one day he would hear the news of his daughter's death.
She knows her own daughter well. Xia Dongchun was spoiled at home, but after entering the palace, no one can protect her anymore. Her family background is not bad, but it is not from those powerful aristocratic families. The powerful concubines in the palace will not take the Xia family seriously.
Fortunately, although his daughter was arrogant and domineering, she was somehow favored by Concubine Xian, who was still the Concubine Xian at the time. Xia Wei immediately asked his daughter to hold on to the tree tightly, and he also worked hard for it so that his daughter could survive in the palace.
Later, life got better and better.
Ortai was good at raising a daughter, and she became a noble concubine. His own daughter also took advantage of this opportunity and became a court concubine.
Chao Fei, Chao Fei...
Xia Wei thinks it’s beautiful.
Now that there is a prince grandson, my daughter has someone to rely on, and the Xia family has a bright future.
Xia Wei is now gearing up to try his best to establish his status as a follower of the dragon.
It’s just that Prince Hongyao is too young now, only seven years old. It would be better if he was seventeen. Then he would show his abilities in the court and strive to become the most capable minister under the future crown prince.
Xia Wei is already training his son well, and the tremendous wealth will soon fall on the Xia family.
Every time Ortai was promoted, Xia Wei would secretly celebrate.
This development not only benefits the Xilin Gioro family, but also the future of the Xia family.
Xia Wei was extremely grateful that he had the foresight to recognize this talent.
