Chapter 7

Cining Palace.

Hearing that the Emperor will come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to accompany the Empress Dowager to have a meal, Concubine De deliberately changed into an exquisite palace attire, hoping to have a chance to be alone with the Emperor after the meal, so she can sit and wait for the news that the Emperor has gone to Luanxin Pavilion.

Concubine De suppressed her jealousy and had just finished serving the Queen Mother's meal when she saw Shenquan who came to deliver the decree.

"Jieyu?" Concubine De called out in disbelief.

"Responding to Empress Concubine De's words, yes." Shenquan replied respectfully.

The empress dowager was leaning on the cushioned imperial concubine couch, she was not as shocked as Concubine De when she heard the words, and there was a smile that was the same as usual on her ageless face: "My family remembers that Li Meiren was demoted early in the morning. my lord."

"The nobleman and Jieyu have the second rank. Since the beginning of the Dasheng Dynasty, there has been no case of jumping to the second rank. Why don't you restore Li Meiren's position first, and then find a way to be promoted to Jieyu after a while. "

"Empress Dowager!" Concubine De became anxious when she heard that the Empress Dowager did not object to the canonization of Li Yu'er.

Jieyu is the fourth rank, although she is only one level behind the beauty, but the fourth rank can be in charge of the palace alone, and she can raise her own children when she has children.

There are very few concubines in the palace, and the only concubines above the fourth rank are her and Zhang Chongyuan.

Zhang Chongyuan was weak and drank medicine continuously every day, so it was nothing to worry about, but Li Yu'er was different, she was forced to stay in the palace by the emperor regardless of her will.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the number of times he has entered the harem can be counted on one's fingers, but apart from greeting the empress dowager, he only went to Luanxin Pavilion to see Li Yu'er.

It's still in the period of filial piety, when the filial piety period is over, isn't Li Yu'er the one who is most likely to conceive a dragon heir first?If she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, with the emperor's love for Li Yu'er, then she could step on her own head just around the corner, and maybe the vacant throne could become hers.

Concubine De wrung the handkerchief in her hand, feeling anxious.

"Respond to the empress dowager's words," Shenquan replied with bowed head, with a respectful tone: "When the emperor demoted Li Jieyu to the position, he just said it out of anger, and now the letter to confer Li Jieyu on Li Meiren has been issued."

Concubine De was startled and almost stood up from her chair.

The queen mother was also a little bit surprised, but she would never criticize Yan Xiu's deeds: "In that case, then congratulations to Li Jieyu, come here."

After Shenquan left, Concubine De said indignantly: "Aunt, Li Mei has violated the palace rules many times, and the punishment of demotion and confinement is light. Now not only is she not punished, but her status is promoted. The concubines in the harem all follow her example, how should the concubines be managed?"

"Concubine De, she is Li Jieyu now." The Queen Mother reminded.

"Aunt!" Concubine De was annoyed.

Is it time to correct a title?

The queen mother sighed, and said earnestly: "Man'er, you are so unstable, how can the Ai family give you all the rights to control the harem? It's just a Jieyu. The emperor dotes on her, and she will give it if she wants. You have to know what you want. Where is it?"

"Auntie, I..." Concubine De pursed her lips, her young and beautiful face was full of grievances: "The emperor doesn't like me, no matter what I do, the emperor never smiled at me, and he never took the initiative to come to Yikun Palace to see me .”

"Man'er, all the women in the harem come here like this. You are the niece of the Ai family, and you are different from the concubines next to the harem. If you stick to the love in front of you, then you will only be a concubine De in the end."

Concubine De came back to her senses, yes, how can posthumous status and love coexist?

Having figured it out, Concubine De stood up and said to the Empress Dowager: "This concubine knows my mistake, and this concubine will properly arrange Li Jieyu's canonization."
