Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 178 Chang Zai's Promotion 8

The next day, Jihuan was awakened by the noise of Qianlong getting up.

Newlyweds are generally not allowed to stay overnight when serving the emperor. However, this rule was of no use to Emperor Qianlong. In fact, there were few concubines in his harem who did not stay overnight.

According to the rules, concubines had to help the emperor get up.

So Ji Huan opened her eyes, saw Qianlong, and immediately said: "I will help the emperor get dressed."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and when Qianlong listened, he thought of his virile display last night and became distracted. At this time, Jihuan had already gotten up, and as soon as she got out of bed, her legs went weak and she fell down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. I just felt weak."

Qianlong laughed and said, "You are innocent. You worked hard to serve me last night. You should rest for a while. I don't need you to help me get dressed."

Ji Huan blushed and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are bullying me again."

When leaving, Qianlong laughed out loud.

When Li Yu came in to serve, he suddenly felt that there might be another powerful concubine in the palace.

He doesn't understand other emperors, but this emperor of his is the most willful. If you make him happy and comfortable, he will help you rise to the top.

As for identity and family background, they are secondary.

After Qianlong left, Jihuan got up soon. Qingyin helped her back to Xianfu Palace. She had breakfast and redressed herself. It was almost time to pay her respects, so Jihuan went to Changchun Palace.

This was the first time she came to Changchun Palace to pay her respects after serving the emperor, and everyone looked at her with a little more hostility than last time.

The queen hadn't come out yet, so Ji Huan let them stare at her.

Although their looks were unkind, they were not the ones who spoke their mind frankly. Qianlong liked virtuous women, so no matter whether the women in his harem were truly virtuous or not, they had to appear virtuous.

When the queen came out, she was as gentle as ever.

The greetings were soon over. She heard the Queen occasionally unable to hold back her cough, and thought she was not feeling well.

After leaving Changchun Palace, he ran into Concubine Ling.

Ji Huanfu said: "Greetings, Madam Lingpin."

"Guarjia Chang is here, so is he going back?"

"Well, I have to go back."

"I think Chang Zai looks friendly. Please come to Yanxi Palace to talk to me when you have time."

"Yes, if I get the chance, I will definitely go and bother you, Madam."

After a few words, the two separated.

Concubine Ling was a very gentle person, with a temperament very similar to that of the Empress, the kind of feminine beauty that could tolerate everything. No wonder Emperor Qianlong liked her.

I just don't know why I would talk to a little girl like her.

Not long after returning to Xianfu Palace, someone came to the Yangxin Palace.

"The Emperor, in accordance with the will of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims that the resident of Xianfu Palace, Guarjia clan, is a wise and kind person... She is promoted to noble lady and given the title Rou. Noble lady Rou, accept the decree!"

Ji Huan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Then came the rewards, some sent by the Imperial Household Department and some from Qianlong's private storehouse. Most importantly, she was given two boxes of books.

Among them is a bonsai of Polygonatum odoratum of extremely rare quality, with natural snowflakes on it. It can be said to be the magic of the natural creator, coupled with the ingenuity of the craftsman.

It seems that Qianlong still remembered the incident in the bamboo forest last year quite clearly.

She handed the newly sent palace maid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Shuxiang for arrangement, and then said to Qingyin: "Register the emperor's reward and store it in the warehouse. I particularly like the bonsai of Polygonatum odoratum, so put it in the room."

"Yes, my lord."

Her east side hall immediately became busy.

Li Changzai, who was in the west side hall opposite her, heard the noise and felt very uneasy. She regretted it. If she had known that getting close to Wang would bring bad luck, she would never go to the Imperial Garden with her no matter what.

She is also a newcomer, and she is also a permanent member.

After Jihuan slept with the emperor, she was immediately promoted to noble lady and was also given a title. In just one night, the gap between the two of them was immediately apparent.

In the evening, Qianlong flipped over Ji Huan's sign again.

In this way, she slept with the emperor for five consecutive days, and many people in the harem could no longer sit still.

In Zhongcui Palace, the servants around Concubine Ying began to feel uneasy.

Among the four people who entered the palace this time, Concubine Ying had the best family background and the highest position. In order to serve her, they all spent a lot of money. Now Concubine Ying has not yet served her in the emperor's bedchamber, and Ji Huan, who has just become a concubine, has taken the lead. According to the probability of newcomers coming to the fore, they are all afraid that Concubine Ying will remain silent.

Qiangwei: "My lady, please think of a solution! I see that the eunuchs are starting to slack off. If this continues, I'm afraid people will lose their morale."

Qiangwei was one of the maids brought in by Concubine Ying. After hearing her words, Concubine Ying couldn't help but frown: "It's only been a few days, and they are so sure that I can't make a breakthrough."

She knew that the people in the palace were very good at changing their attitudes according to the situation.

Qiangwei said with a bitter face: "My lady, I have inquired. Every time a new person enters the palace, usually only one person can stand out and be favored, or no one can stand out. Many of those who are not favored die in depression. Since Concubine Rou has been favoring them for five consecutive days, they are naturally getting anxious."

After hearing the reason, Ying Guiren realized that things were not as simple as she thought.

After a moment of silence, he said, "We really can't just sit there and wait for death. Wait for two more days. If the emperor still doesn't summon us, we can make other plans. However, you should take some money and go find out about Concubine Rou and learn more about the situation in Xianfu Palace."

"Yes, my lord."

Yanxi Palace, main hall.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been favoring Concubine Rou for five consecutive days. Should we do something?"

Lingpin's face showed no sign of displeasure: "Why rush? It's only been five days. She's just a noble lady. It won't be too late to worry about her when she becomes a concubine. The emperor is in high spirits now. If you don't let him enjoy himself, he will always be worried about it. This favor can only last long if it is relaxed and tense in moderation."

"It was my impatience that caused me to be so impatient. Please punish me, Madam."

"I don't blame you. This noble lady Rou is indeed not to be underestimated, but you shouldn't care too much about her either."

"Your Majesty is right. If you attach so much importance to her, it would be too much of an honor to Concubine Rou."

……

The various behaviors of the people in the harem had no effect on Ji Huan at all.

After being favored for five days, Ji Huan felt that her period had come, and immediately ordered the Jingshifang to remove the green card.

At night, Qianlong flipped the cards, but Jihuan had not explored enough and did not see Jihuan's card.

"Where is Lady Rou's brand?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has her period."

Qianlong frowned, then looked at the names of others, and finally remembered that there was a noble lady named Ying, so he turned over her name card.

Concubine Ying was overjoyed when she received the imperial edict from the Jingshifang, finally she had not forgotten her.

Concubine Ying was also a beauty, although not as beautiful as Jihuan and Lingpin, who were very distinctive beauties, but she was not bad either. Qianlong didn't think she was disgusting when he looked at her face, but when he really got to know her, he always felt something was wrong.

My skin isn’t smooth enough, and I don’t feel as harmonious as I do with Ji Huan.

Qianlong, who had been exploited by Jihuan for several days, suddenly lost interest. In the end, he just came briefly and ended the matter hastily.

It was Concubine Ying’s first time to sleep with Emperor Qianlong. She didn’t know the average length of time Emperor Qianlong spent with her, but she didn’t think anything was wrong.

Because he was not satisfied, Qianlong did not let Concubine Ying stay overnight, so after serving the emperor, Concubine Ying moved to another room. The palace servants who were on night watch looked at Concubine Ying with pity.

The next day, when Concubine Ying came to pay her respects, the Queen had not yet come out. Concubine Qing sat next to Concubine Ying and said with a smile: "Sister Ying slept with me yesterday. I saw that your face was rosy. I think you slept well. It seems that the Emperor loves you very much!"

Concubine Ying lowered her head shyly: "The Emperor is just showing me favor."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Lady Qing, you are really good at joking. How many newcomers can sleep well with our emperor? Don't take advantage of Sister Ying because she is a newcomer and make fun of her."

Concubine Ying was not stupid. After Concubine Shu said this, she realized that Concubine Qing was not trying to befriend her, but was mocking her! She was mocking her for not getting the emperor's favor.

This made Concubine Ying turn pale. Although she had learned the rules of sleeping with the emperor, the nanny would not tell her openly that the emperor was very good. She only realized now that she did not feel tired last night because the emperor was not interested.

After realizing this, her face turned even paler.
