After the morning court session, Fu Yuheng was in a very good mood. He finally gave Shen Qingwan a relatively high position. In fact, he had wanted to give it to her before, but there was still some estrangement between the two of them, and there had never been an opportunity. But now he could openly promote her, which was also a reward for her.
"Go, pass on the imperial edict. From now on, all the etiquette for the virtuous concubine must be in accordance with the third rank." Turning around and telling Sun Ning behind him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a satisfied smile. She should be very happy with this reward.
Although the weather was a bit gloomy today, he was still happy because the matter had come to a successful conclusion. Everyone was also happy because of his mood, and Sun Ning hurried out. It seemed that he had to let the virtuous concubine accompany him more in the future, so that their lives as slaves would be better.
Seeing Sun Ning leaving, Fu Yuheng lowered his head and started reading the memorial. But now his mind was full of her cold figure. It was a very pleasant thing for such a strange woman to stay by his side.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has decided in the court to promote Concubine Xian from a fifth-rank female official to a third-rank official." And in the Fengluan Palace, Nanny Gui who was beside Xiao Shushen also knew the news early and told her.
"What? Does the emperor really dare to do this?" Upon hearing the news, Xiao Shushen looked at Nanny Gui in disbelief, but was displeased when she saw her nod.
It's fine that this woman is favored in the harem, but she also has status in the previous dynasty. I don't know what's wrong with the emperor, and he actually let a woman participate in politics.
"What else did the emperor say? Didn't the ministers react?" But she also knew that Shen Qingwan was definitely not an ordinary person, she had seen it a long time ago. Her nails left long marks on the table, and she felt very unbalanced.
"There is nothing else besides this, and the elders from the previous dynasty have no objection." Nanny Gui lowered her head and said, and when she raised her eyes she saw Xiao Shushen's gloomy face.
Great, Shen Qingwan actually has such a good ability. As the queen, the ministers would have to say something about what she did, but she was actually recognized by them.
"Empress, Eunuch Sun beside the Emperor requests to see you." While Xiao Shushen was still thinking, Sun Ning also came to Fengluan Palace.
She raised her eyebrows when she heard that and said, "Come in." She regained her original grace and magnanimity. At least in front of outsiders, she was still the queen who was high above everyone else, the most noble woman in the world.
"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Empress. I am here on the order of the Emperor to inform Her Majesty that Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine has been promoted to the third rank. All future expenses and etiquette must be of the third rank." Sun Ning held the whisk in his hand and looked down at her.
Although Xiao Shushen had known this for a long time, she still felt uncomfortable hearing it from someone close to Fu Yuheng.
"I understand. Thank you for your help, Eunuch Sun." After reporting to Sun Ning, her face fell and she grabbed the teacup tightly, wishing she could crush it.
This woman has indeed become a great nuisance. She should have been eliminated before, but it is obviously not that easy.
The news spread quickly, and Hua Xiangwei's first reaction after hearing it was disbelief. "How could the emperor allow a woman to be a third-rank court lady? Go and find out for me." She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
In her impression, women only need to take care of their husbands and children. And those great talents and governing the world are men's business. Shen Qingwan obviously broke her idea.
Meng'er came back soon, "Your Majesty, it's true. The emperor just issued the imperial edict at the morning court today." Looking at her face full of anger, he spoke carefully, and the next second he heard a "pop" sound, and the cup next to her hand was smashed to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"Why? What right does she have?" Hua Xiangwei smashed everything around her, but still felt unsatisfied. What kind of drug did she give the emperor
It's fine that she was favored in the harem, but the previous dynasty was also like this. Now she can be very proud! She hated it when she thought of this.
Compared to the intrigues among the concubines in the harem, children are obviously much happier. Fu Lingling has this mentality, running around all day long, looking for fun things.
"Where is this place? How come this princess has never been here before?" But today, she accidentally ran to an unfamiliar place, but it was magnificent and gorgeous, and it looked very beautiful.
Fu Lingling had sneaked out without any eunuchs or maids, so she was very confused at the moment. But as a princess, she was not afraid of anything, and instead started to check.
"Well, although this place is beautiful, it's not as pleasing to the eye as my palace." After looking for a while, Fu Lingling touched his chin and nodded.
"You're talking nonsense. How can this prince's palace be inferior to yours?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an obviously angry accusation, and then saw Fu Mochen walking out.
He had seen Fu Lingling when she first came over, but he didn't want to care. It was not until he heard her say that he decided. He was the prince, so naturally everything was the best.
"Greetings, Prince." Although Fu Lingling was a little frightened, she remained calm and saluted him respectfully. He just kept staring at her.
"What right do you have to say that this part of my prince's body is not pretty? You are just an insignificant princess." He is the future emperor, and after all, he is much better than the girls.
But such words made Fu Lingling a little angry, "It's just not good-looking. There's gold and silver everywhere here, and not a single flower or plant. It's so ugly." Pointing at the things in the hall, she looked down on any of them.
This was the first time someone said this to him, and Fu Mochen scolded her loudly. However, Fu Lingling had been a little brat since she was young, and was not afraid of his status as a prince at all, and actually started quarreling with him.
The most hateful thing was that he couldn't even argue with such a little girl. "You are so brave. This is the prince's palace. Get out." In anger, Fu Mochen pushed her out directly.
"How can you do this? It's obvious that you can't win the argument with me. Open the door for me!" Fu Lingling was also unconvinced. She banged on the door and shouted continuously. She was not going to leave even though it was raining.
Listening to the sound outside the door, Fu Mochen felt annoyed and left directly. He had no intention of opening the door at all. He shook his head, feeling that it was very troublesome and really annoyed.
But as the rain was getting heavier, he couldn't help but glance outside, but then he looked away and turned his head away.
Why should he care about that troublesome girl
Fu Lingling had been standing outside in the rain for a long time, and her already frail body could no longer bear it, so she caught a cold.
