Chapter 169: Equal, Heart-to-Heart
After saying this, the emperor held the newborn prince in his arms, looked at him carefully, and then handed him back to Suqin.
The child is still young and cannot be exposed to the wind, so he has to be brought inside quickly.
All the concubines here fell into a brief silence because of the emperor's words.
What should be given to her.
The meaning behind this sentence made all the concubines present look extremely ugly.
Isn’t it just about one’s birth height?
Could it be that these concubines of low birth are all weeds?
Jumping three levels in such a short period of time would make anyone feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin who gave birth to children. They also gave birth to heirs for the royal family. Although it was only a princess, did that mean the princess was no longer the emperor's child?
Just because of their poor births, they couldn't even get the position of concubine. But now, Concubine Xuan was just pregnant, and when she gave birth to a prince, she was promoted from a noble lady to Concubine Xuan.
The emperor even deliberately changed the title "Xiang" to a more profound and grand title "Xuan".
Moreover, the way he blurted it out so easily showed that he had already thought of the title a long time ago, without having to specifically instruct the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to think of it.
As a concubine with a title, Hua Fei naturally didn't feel good either. She was already scolded by the emperor because of Fu Cha Zhixi, and now she was promoted to the position of concubine in front of her. Didn't she become on equal footing with her?
No, not only are they on an equal footing, but Concubine Xuan has only been in the palace for a year, and she has already been promoted to the position of concubine. She is so favored and has a prince, so isn't she a level higher than himself?
Concubine Hua stared at the delivery room with vicious eyes, and she wished she could eat Fu Cha Zhixi alive with her eyes to relieve her inner hatred.
No, the emperor was just speaking in anger just now. He certainly doesn't really not value me, otherwise I wouldn't have regained his favor so easily.
Even though Hua Fei saw that the emperor cared about Fu Cha Zhixi, she was still obsessed with her past with the emperor. She didn't believe that the emperor really didn't care about her at all. She thought that it must be because Concubine Xuan gave birth to a prince that the emperor valued her so much.
If I hadn't lost that child, I wouldn't be so eager to get pregnant again.
Damn Concubine Duan, it’s all her fault.
If it weren't for her, how could I be so stupid as to take the pregnancy medicine handed to me by the other party? The baby in my belly at that time was a fully formed male fetus, but it was miscarried alive.
Thinking of this, Concubine Hua wanted to rush to Concubine Duan's residence immediately and give her a good beating.
As for Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, they were envious but also felt a little distraught.
After all, it was a bit disappointing to see the person who entered the palace with him climbed so easily to a position where he couldn't even see him.
There is a lot of distance between the position of concubine and noble lady, and what's more, the other party has successfully given birth to a prince, which means she has a guarantee in the harem in the future.
But on second thought, the fact that Concubine Xuan was able to be promoted to a concubine so quickly must have something to do with the Fucha family, otherwise the emperor would not have said such a thing.
Both of them were worried that the other would feel unwilling, so they looked up at each other tacitly, and their eyes happened to meet each other's.
This made the two of them couldn't help but reveal a smile of mutual understanding on their faces. It turned out that they both thought of the same thing.
"Sister Mei, don't be anxious. We still have a long time to live. Take your time."
While no one was paying attention, Zhen Huan smiled, reached out, held Sister Mei's hand, and comforted her softly.
"Huan'er, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Shen Meizhuang knew that Huan'er was worried about her, so she smiled, held her hand with her backhand, and nodded seriously.
"Huan'er, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related. The Fucha family has a deep foundation and is a Manchu military flag, so naturally they will be promoted faster than us."
Shen Meizhuang herself was very open-minded. After all, she was raised according to the standards of a mistress of the house. She would not be jealous or upset because the emperor favored other people.
But it's different for Zhen Huan. She can see her admiration for the emperor in her eyes, so she is worried that Zhen Huan will feel sad because of what happened today.
"It's okay, sister. I know all these things. The emperor has been very good to me, so I am very content."
"What's more, now that there is a Concubine Xuan who is on equal footing with Concubine Hua, I think Concubine Hua won't dare to be so arrogant in the future."
It was impossible for Zhen Huan to say that she was not sad at all, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she was Concubine Xuan's identity, and she was extremely beautiful. If she were the emperor, he would naturally like her.
What's more, although Concubine Xuan didn't have a very close relationship with them, at least she seemed kind-hearted and was willing to help others. It was better than letting Concubine Hua be the only one in power in the harem.
"Yes, what you said makes sense."
Shen Meizhuang nodded in agreement. Putting aside the little girls' thoughts, it was actually a good thing for them to be crowned as Consort Xuan.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were having a great time, which made Chun Changzai, who was being ignored, a little dissatisfied.
She saw that Concubine Xuan, who was from the same Manchu military flag as herself, had been granted the title of concubine, while she herself had not yet been favored. How could she not be anxious?
Thinking of this, she suppressed her dissatisfaction with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, took the initiative to step forward with her usual sweet smile, and asked some extremely naive questions in a naive manner, which made the two of them laugh.
As for An Lingrong, she rushed into the delivery room as soon as the baby was brought out.
Her elder sister had just given birth, so she had to go in and see her sister no matter what.
As soon as I walked into the inner room, the smell of blood hit my nose, which was really not a pleasant smell.
"Mr. An, how did you get in?"
Yu Hu was the first to notice Lady An. After kneeling and bowing, she asked with some surprise.
"I wanted to come in and see my sister. I wonder how she is doing right now. Is it convenient?"
An Lingrong naturally wanted to go in and take a look as soon as possible, but she couldn't just barge in like that, as that would be too rude.
"Thank you, Lady An, for thinking of our queen. However, due to the exhaustion from childbirth, the queen has fallen asleep now, so."
Yuhu looked at An Lingrong hesitantly and said.
She naturally knew the relationship between her queen and Noble Lady An, so she didn't make any excuses and just told her the whole situation.
"I see. Then I'll go back first. I'll come back to see you tomorrow when you feel better."
An Lingrong frowned slightly, suppressed her worry about her sister and spoke.
