Chapter 142
"As for whether or not to give you a title, you'll just have to worry about it yourself."
He began writing again, "As for Qingying, she and Gao were both concubines, and she gave birth to Yongqi, the eldest son. I originally thought she should have a high position."
"But the Ulanara clan can no longer be of any help to the previous dynasty, so their position shouldn't be too high. How about we make them both concubines?"
Yixiu's words touched Hongli even more, but he immediately spoke and stopped the other person from writing.
"Empress Mother, I have long had an idea about Qingying's position."
Yixiu stopped writing and said, "Tell me about it."
"My son is interested. Qingying will be the first Imperial Noble Consort. After the three-year mourning period is over, the ceremony of her becoming the Empress will be held."
"You...want to make Qingying your queen?"
Hongli nodded heavily. "Empress Dowager, as you said, Qingying gave birth to the eldest son, which is a great achievement. Moreover, Qingying and Empress Dowager are both from the Ulanara clan, and are of noble birth. Who could be more suitable than her for the royal family's backyard?"
Yixiu was silent for a moment, then nodded again, "Who the Queen prefers is your own decision, and I can't interfere too much. However, it's just that Yuan Fujin passed away not long ago. If Qingying is promoted to Imperial Noble Consort right after her appointment, it will inevitably cause controversy."
"In my opinion, the title of Queen will be given in three years, and there is no need to grant her such a gift now. You must know that if someone is different from others, they will be criticized by others."
Even the late emperor rarely taught Hongli in this way.
It did give him a bit of a novel feeling for a moment.
"Yes, I thank you for your guidance, Empress Dowager. However, with Yongji still here, I really don't want to let Qingying down. How about making her a noble concubine first? What do you think, Empress Dowager?"
Yixiu didn't say anything to refuse, and nodded, "That's fine, then make her a noble concubine."
"Besides Qingying, Su from the mansion is a concubine who gave birth to the second prince. She has also made contributions. Should she be given the title of consort as well?"
"Su came from a Han army banner, and there are no useful people in her family. Although she is pregnant again, there is no need to give her the title of consort. It would be better to confer her the title of imperial concubine."
"Alright."
Yixiu took up her pen again and decided on Su Lujun's position.
Just as he was about to speak again, Huichun hurried in.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Master Qing has sent someone into the palace, saying something has happened in the residence."
"What could possibly happen in the residence at this time? Send someone in to answer the question."
Hongli spoke, and Xiuxia followed him in.
After paying her respects, she continued, "Your Majesty, Master Jin gave Master Su a drug that caused her to miscarry. Concubine Qing asked me to come to the palace to report this to Your Majesty. I need Your Majesty's instructions on how to proceed with this matter."
Xiuxia's words made Hongli a little confused.
How many days has it been?
It’s not enough that Jin has harmed Zhu Ying, now she wants to harm Su Lujun?
What kind of crazy person is she?
Hongli remained silent for a long time. Yixiu put down her pen and said, "Jin Shi harmed Su Shi? What happened? Xiuxia, please explain clearly."
Xiuxia bent her body slightly and spoke again.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Concubine has passed away. According to the Emperor's decree, Concubine Qing was originally to handle the funeral ceremonies for the Concubine. However, Master Su took the initiative to come to the door in recent days, saying that the Concubine had taken great care of her in the past, so she wanted to personally handle the funeral ceremonies for the Concubine to show her some consideration."
"Taking Master Su's kindness into consideration, Concubine Qing couldn't bear to refuse. However, she only assigned simple tasks, considering that Master Su was pregnant and couldn't work hard."
"But today, not long after Concubine Qing returned from Qionghua Courtyard, someone came to report that Master Su had fainted from exhaustion and was bleeding. By the time the court doctor arrived, Master Su's baby was already pregnant..."
Having said this, Xiuxia suddenly stopped.
Hongli seemed to have just realized, "If that's the case, what does it have to do with the Jin family?"
"Your Majesty, it was the palace physician who discovered that Master Su's miscarriage was caused by a Tremella fuciformis soup. It was discovered that a large amount of oleander flower powder was added to the soup, which is poisonous and a sacred ingredient for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. This is why Master Su was unable to keep the dragon fetus in the palace."
Yixiu frowned, "Why would Jin do this?"
"Mrs. Qing has already advocated and interrogated the servants around Master Jin. They said that it was because Master Jin was jealous of Master Su's pregnancy that..."
