Chapter 1115 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 41
The Sixth Prince was one month old, and Concubine Nian's pregnancy was confirmed. The enthronement ceremony of Concubine Shun was held simply in the Old Summer Palace, but the expected pomp and circumstance was not compromised. Jiang Xinxin did not make things difficult for anyone. After a few simple instructions, she announced that the ceremony was completed, and Concubine Shun was now the legitimate concubine.
However, Concubine Qi remained calm and even stepped on Concubine Shun again to consolidate her image as a person who was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and loved her son dearly. She successfully carried the baby in her belly to full term, and her birth was much smoother than that of Concubine Wan and Concubine Shun. It only took an hour from the onset of labor to the safe birth of the Seventh Prince.
Big Fat Orange was delighted when he saw the Seventh Prince, who was almost four months older than the Third Princess. He immediately promoted Concubine Qi to Concubine Qi, giving her the privilege of a double concubine, causing Concubine Shun, who was standing next to him, to tear the handkerchief in her hand.
After leaving Qipin's residence, Concubine Nian started to tease Shunpin, saying, "It seems that even though Shunpin has the upper hand for a while, she is still far behind Qipin. This title is very telling."
Yes, one is Shun and the other is Qi, it is obvious who is more favored by the emperor!
In the past, Shunpin had always wanted to compete with Qipin. Now that they both raised a prince, they became even more hostile to each other. In particular, Shunpin discovered that Qipin had been stepping on her to show her virtuousness. She went back and told Fucha that she wanted to suppress Qipin.
Fucha had originally planned not to come forward in this dynasty, but now the situation is different. Fucha has a prince, a healthy prince, so many things have to be reconsidered.
Of course, the Guarjia clan, which also had a prince, had to be suppressed, especially the concubine Qi in the palace. Of course, action should be taken as soon as possible to suppress her.
But Big Fat Orange is not someone who is easy to talk to. If the attack fails or any clues are left that implicate the Fucha family, it would be a waste of time.
Therefore, when the emperor returned to the palace to celebrate the Golden Festival, Fucha met with Shunpin and strictly ordered her not to take action against any concubines or royal heirs, otherwise Fucha would definitely take the initiative to kill her own relatives for the sake of justice.
After hearing what her mother had said, Shunpin couldn't hold back her tears and said unconvincedly, "If we can't suppress the Guarjia clan as soon as possible, how can I have any dignity in this palace? I don't know when my Sixth Prince will be able to make a name for himself!"
Shunpin's mother was of course upset to see her like this, but the clan had already told her everything. She was not an unreasonable and rude woman, but seeing her daughter like this, she could only try her best to comfort her: "My queen, everything that is done in this world will definitely leave clues. The emperor deliberately cleaned up the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to completely control the palace. Do you really have the ability to hide it from the emperor's eyes and ears and detect it?"
When Shunpin thought of the emperor, she was speechless, but she was still unwilling to give up. She still pulled Mrs. Fucha's sleeve and asked, "Mother, am I going to watch that Guaerjia family step on my head and show off their power?"
Madam Fucha was really distressed, but she couldn't leave any excuses, so she could only say: "Don't worry, your majesty. The reason why the Guaerjia family was able to gain the upper hand in front of you in the past was because you were anxious. As long as you can keep calm, the anxious person must be the Guaerjia family."
Shunpin is not really stupid. After giving birth to a child, she has regained a lot of her wisdom. The reason why she is not giving in now is because Qipin has gained too many benefits by stepping on her, and her mentality is inevitably unbalanced.
Now that she has been repeatedly dissuaded by Madam Fucha and the Fucha clan has expressed their stance, she can only endure it secretly and not compete with Concubine Qi for favor.
The favored Concubine Qi gradually showed an arrogant attitude and even confronted Concubine Nian who was pregnant.
During the New Year's Festival, Concubine Nian became pregnant, so Nian Gengyao postponed his rebellion again. Seeing this, Prince Dun knew that the situation was hopeless, so he closed the door of his palace and completely cut off all ties with Nian Gengyao.
Nian Gengyao felt that he had been made fun of by Prince Dun, and of course he was angry and wanted to get back at them, but the royal family members were not pushovers, and the Nianhulu clan was standing behind Prince Dun. Nian Gengyao lost two important subordinates as soon as he made a move, and the vacant positions were immediately filled by Fatty Ju.
Therefore, whether Nian Gengyao rebelled or not, his fate was already determined.
Since returning to the palace, Jiang Xinxin has sent a message to Yikun Palace, exempting Concubine Nian from paying respects, and waiting for her to give birth and return after the confinement. Concubine Nian is unruly, but because she is expecting a child in her belly after many years, she is very grateful for Jiang Xinxin's kindness, and immediately gave Jiang Xinxin a very rare black fox fur cloak as a thank you gift.
Because of Concubine Nian's belly, Nian Gengyao actually directly requested Da Pangju to send two miracle doctors he had found among the people to the palace to protect Concubine Nian's belly. Da Pangju was immediately displeased, but Nian Gengyao even brought up the fact that the Empress Dowager had added musk to the Huanyi incense, which made Da Pangju lose all his face.
Of course, the two so-called miracle doctors were not able to enter the palace to serve Concubine Nian. It was Jiang Xinxin who stopped them. This time, she did not ask anyone to hold the women of the Nian family accountable, but directly reprimanded Nian Gengyao's eldest brother Nian Xiyao for his poor parenting.
Nian Xiyao sighed and grabbed Nian Gengyao's ear, analyzing the dangerous situation of the Nian family in earnest and advised him to be more obedient.
But Nian Gengyao felt very good about himself, and Nian Xiyao did not know that Nian Gengyao actually planned to raise an army to support Prince Dun, otherwise he would have broken Nian Gengyao's legs immediately and carried him to the Yangxin Palace to be dealt with by Big Fat Orange.
However, without the Prince of Dun, the son of the previous emperor, Nian Gengyao's rebellion was only delayed, but it was actually a visibly failed. After all, he did not have the face to be nominated by the court officials to be the emperor.
But Da Pangju's determination to kill Nian Gengyao never wavered, even though Concubine Nian was already pregnant. After all, Nian Gengyao's rebellion was an established fact. So, taking advantage of Nian Gengyao's unpreparedness after the New Year, Da Pangju joined forces with clan members and civil and military officials to take Nian Gengyao down in one fell swoop.
The matter of rebellion could not be brought up openly, but the fact that Nian Gengyao sold official positions and titles had been proven, not to mention that he had "intercepted" a lot of tribute. Therefore, Fatty Ju did not take the step of demoting him to guard the city gate as Yixiu remembered, but directly put him in prison and dealt with him according to the law.
Concubine Nian and Nian Gengyao had a deep brother-sister relationship, not to mention that Concubine Nian's status and power in the palace were mostly obtained because of Nian Gengyao. Even if Big Fat Ju had real feelings for Concubine Nian, their feelings disappeared the moment he learned that Nian Gengyao did have the idea of rebellion.
Concubine Nian went to the gate of the Yangxin Palace with a big belly to take off her hairpin and apologize. Fatty Ju never showed up and just asked Su Peisheng to send Concubine Nian away. Jiang Xinxin was more direct and sent four agile maids to take Concubine Nian back to the Yikun Palace and confine her to house arrest.
