Zhu Yixiu is reborn in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and single-handedly kills her way throug

Chapter 385

So at this moment, I don’t know how to start.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm thinking that the harem has its own rules. Now that Concubine Yi is pregnant, even if I want to promote her, there's no room for her in the position of concubine."

"According to the ancestral regulations, there is one Imperial Noble Consort, two Noble Consorts, four Consorts, and six Imperial Concubines in the harem. Now that there are more and more sisters in the harem, I think it has been a long time since we have held a grand ceremony to confer titles. Why not take this opportunity to ask the Emperor to bestow a reward?"

Qingying's words made Hongli raise his eyebrows.

"The Six Palaces are sealed?"

"good."

Qingying responded and continued, "Your Majesty, whether to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort is naturally your decision. I cannot say much, but now the Noble Consort position is vacant, and Yongzhang and Yongqi are growing older. I think we can add two more Noble Consorts."

"In this way, there will be a vacancy in the position of consort, and the emperor can naturally appoint another one."

Hongli tapped his fingertips on the table twice, seeming to hesitate.

"According to you, you want to promote Consort Chun and Consort Shu to Noble Consorts?"

"Your Majesty, it is your decision as to who to enthrone. I was just thinking that since the children are growing up, Concubine Chun and the others have been serving them in the palace, and since I already have a child, I naturally deserve the title of Imperial Concubine."

"Besides, Concubine Yi is of noble birth and is now pregnant. It is only natural for the Emperor to promote her to the rank of Concubine."

"But if you don't vacate the position, it will inevitably violate the ancestral system."

Having said this, Qingying seemed to hesitate.

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, the so-called palace rules all depend on the emperor's wishes. If the emperor is willing, it is not impossible to add two more concubines."

Hongli was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"You're right. Those who have served for a long time, even if they haven't made any contributions, have certainly worked hard. Not to mention they all have children."

"Since that's the case, I will promote Consort Shu and Consort Chun to Noble Consorts. I have other ideas for the position of Consort."

“Although the palace rules and ancestral regulations limit the number of concubines to four, those who have made contributions must be rewarded.”

"Princess Mei has made great contributions in giving birth to the prince, but she suffered injuries during childbirth and has not been well for the past few years. This time, she will be promoted to Consort Mei."

"Also, Zhaopin and Yipin are both of noble birth, and since they are pregnant, they must be promoted. I intend to promote them both to the rank of consorts. What do you think, Queen?"

What he meant was that he wanted to promote someone.

But when Qingying heard it, she could sense the insincerity in the end.

Does this mean that I have to speak up myself and stop the two from being promoted?

After pondering for a moment, Qingying spoke tentatively.

"Your Majesty, I remember that the title of Zhaopin was only restored not long ago after I came to the garden this year, right?"

"Although pregnancy is a reward, if such frequent gifts are given, I am worried that the other sisters will be dissatisfied."

"And according to the Emperor's wishes, all the concubines now have children. Even Hui Fei's sister has a daughter, and Zhao Fei's baby is still undetermined..."

"And I understand what Concubine Zhao said. Because of her previous miscarriage, her body has not yet fully recovered. This time she is pregnant, her body is even weaker... I know that although I shouldn't think this way, what if..."

"If we rush to confer the title of Consort now, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Qingying's words were unclear, but they made Hongli look satisfied.

"Qingying, you are right. To be crowned a consort without a child is a special honor, but Zhaopin's situation is still a little short of it."

"Your Majesty has rewarded me with Yunjin today, and I will have others reward me more. The Empress Dowager will certainly express her gratitude as well, and will definitely not let my pregnant sister feel dissatisfied."

Qingying responded and then asked, "What about Concubine Yi...?"

"Even though Concubine Chun and Concubine Shu have been promoted to Imperial Concubine, and Concubine Mei has been added to the Concubine rank, it still doesn't complete the four corners. In my opinion, I should promote Concubine Yi to Concubine Yi, and Concubine Zhao to the same status as Concubine. This way, it can be considered a complete success. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty has thought it through very carefully. I think it is excellent."

Why would Qingying say anything more about this?

I just think what is good and have no other opinions.

This naturally satisfied Hongli.

The so-called grand ennoblement of the six palaces naturally cannot be just changes in the titles of noble concubine and imperial concubine.
