Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 189 Chang Zai's Promotion 19

Natural painting, main hall, Jihuan quickly fanned herself, and only half of the ice in the ice basin in the room was left with water.

Shuxiang muttered indignantly: "My lady, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If it continues like this, how can we live? Why don't we go to the Queen for help?"

Ji Huan shook her head: "No, the Queen has been ill again these past two days. The Queen is kind-hearted, and I can't disturb her with these mundane matters. The eldest prince is the adopted son of Concubine Chun, and I am just a noble. If I tell anyone about it, it will inevitably make Concubine Chun feel awkward. The Emperor has a deep friendship with Concubine Chun, so please bear with it!"

"My lady, you are too easy to bully. We are both nobles, so why don't they follow the example of Noble Qing? If you want me to tell you, you might as well tell the emperor directly."

"How can I tell the emperor? I won't be a gossiper. Well, take some silver and buy some ice! It's too hot in the room to stay here."

Shuxiang said in distress: "My lady, if we continue to buy like this, the money we brought into the palace will be almost gone, and the money for daily expenses will also be used up."

Ji Huan sighed deeply: "The eldest prince has already married and had children, so I can't send someone to explain this matter directly to the eldest prince. I will go and talk to Concubine Xian later!"

Qianlong listened outside for a long time. The weather was hot, and he seldom went out recently. He went to Concubine Xian's place more often because she needed comfort. Therefore, he really didn't know that Jihuan was in such a difficult situation.

He claims to be a kind man, but now the favored concubines in his harem can hardly use ice in summer. It's so embarrassing!

For a moment, Qianlong was embarrassed to go in.

Then he quietly took his men away.

Jihuan watched Qianlong's red dot leave and smiled with satisfaction.

Shuxiang: "My dear, you can still laugh. Our life is getting more and more difficult."

"Don't worry, our good days will come soon. Go buy some ice! It's been very hot these past two days, and you've all been working hard."

Qianlong returned to Jiuzhou Qingyan, felt the coolness in the palace, and called Li Yu.

"Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell the servants there to quickly make up for Concubine Rou's ice bill."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the evening, Qianlong went to Empress Fucha.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Empress Fucha was pulled up by Emperor Qianlong before she could finish her greetings.

"You and I are husband and wife, there is no need to be so polite."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Fucha said softly.

"I am still sick, why is the emperor here?"

"I have something to tell you..."

Qianlong briefly told Empress Fucha about the incident in which the eldest prince's servant misappropriated Ji Huanbing's money, and Empress Fucha frowned after hearing it.

"It's my fault. I'm too weak to manage palace affairs. Sister Chun is inexperienced and made such a mistake. Thanks to Sister Xian for discovering it in time, the eldest prince and the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be punished, and Concubine Rou will also be compensated. What is the emperor's plan?"

"How can I blame you? Jingyan is indeed not up to the task. The eldest prince and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are easy to deal with, but Concubine Rou has been wronged this time. If Xinning hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known about it! Concubine Rou has also been forbearing. I want to compensate Concubine Rou with a concubine position. What do you think, Queen?"

"It's as it should be. Sister Rou has been wronged before, so it's appropriate for her to be promoted. Your Majesty should also comfort Sister Rou."

"The queen is virtuous, so it is settled then."

The next day, Qianlong left with a happy face.

After he left, Empress Fucha was not happy, and said leisurely: "Rou Guiren, this Guaerjia family is probably more favored than Lingpin. The emperor always has many people in his heart."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor..."

"You don't have to say it. I understand everything. It's just that I can't accept it. One more or one less doesn't make much difference."

……

When Ji Huan received the news of her promotion, she was a little slow to react. To be honest, she didn't expect Qianlong to be so generous. She originally thought that at most he would just give her a bigger reward or some compensation in gold and silver.

Unexpectedly, she was promoted.

Not only that, the rewards were even more generous, including a lot of treasures, antiques, rare calligraphy and paintings, gemstones and jewelry.

Her private collection has become much richer.

This time, she earned a lot of money!

After going through the process, everyone in the harem knew why she was promoted. After the servants around the eldest prince were sent away, Concubine Chun finally realized how many things had been hidden from her, and she was so angry that she died.

"Noble Consort Xian, Concubine Rou, you are great, really great. I have made note of your loss this time. Go check for me why the eldest prince does not have enough ice, and who in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is deliberately hiding this matter."

She was in charge of palace affairs, and she was completely unaware of the fact that the Imperial Household Department had misappropriated the ice money. There must be someone behind this.

"Yes, ma'am."

"I was careless this time. Please remind me to be cautious in everything next time."

Concubine Chun really suffered a great loss this time. On the surface, she did not lose anything and her palace affairs were still there, but she knew that Emperor Qianlong's impression of her was probably no longer the same as before.

Concubine Xian gained trust and Concubine Rou gained status.

"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right. Our good days have finally come." Shuxiang said with a beaming face.

Express joy but smile without saying anything.

She didn't say that the good day she was talking about was not the good day like today, but she also liked the unexpected surprise.

It seems that Concubine Xian has put in a lot of effort, and Emperor Qianlong does like her a little.

Less than a year after entering the palace, Jihuan was promoted from a concubine to a concubine. Even Lingpin could not keep up with her speed of promotion.

Although Concubine Ling was initially conferred the title of a noble lady, she stayed in the palace for several years and was not favored until she was almost twenty years old. Before that, she was just an official girl serving Emperor Qianlong and was not very favored.

Jihuan was already a concubine at the age of fifteen, which was indeed a great favor to Emperor Qianlong, who liked mature women.

On the evening of the day when the title was conferred, Qianlong came to see her natural painting, and Jihuan greeted him with a smile on her face.

"I have met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."

Qianlong approached and held her hand. It was cool and very comfortable in the summer. Qianlong was reluctant to let her go. This was her icy skin and delicate body.

Jihuan’s problem is due to his physical constitution. It is a systemic modification and is by no means unhealthy.

"My dear concubine, there is no need to be so polite. Today is your wedding day. Let's go in and talk."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the two men entered, they saw the room was full of ice basins. Qianlong took a quick look and was very satisfied.

"Ji Huan, you were wronged a few days ago. The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were really unreasonable in the matter of Bingli."

Ji Huan shook her head: "The emperor is thinking about me, so I don't feel wronged at all. The emperor has punished the unruly servant, and this matter is over. Today is the day of my canonization. I must serve the emperor well to thank him for his grace. Let's not talk about unhappy things."

"You are right. I won't mention it. How do you want to thank me, my beloved concubine?"

Ji Huan's face flushed, her fair face was particularly attractive, and she said coquettishly: "Today, I will let the emperor do whatever he wants. Your Majesty, it's getting dark, can I help you wash up first?"

It gets dark late in the summer, and it was just getting dark on this day, but not yet dark. However, Qianlong was a person who ate both meat and vegetables, so he smiled and nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"Alright, I'm waiting for my beloved concubine to serve me."

"Yes, Your Majesty~"

Soon, Qianlong's voice was heard from the bathroom: "The fragrance of powder and sweat wet the pegs of the jade zither, and the spring teasing melted the soft rain ointment. After the bath, Tan Lang touched my body, and the coolness of the spirit penetrated the purple grapes!"

Ji Huan's shy voice was intermittent: "Your Majesty, I am so embarrassed..."

"Hahaha...My beloved concubine said that you would let me deal with you, why are you still shy?"

"It's all because of you, Your Majesty... You are too brave. How can a weak woman like me bear it..."

This made him even happier.
