Chapter 140
Hongli raised his hand and personally supported Yixiu.
"Imperial Mother, please don't worry so much about me. I know you've suffered a lot in the past, and now it's time for you to enjoy your retirement."
"You are a good and filial child. I am old and can't do much. It's just a soup. It won't take much effort. Why refuse it?"
Yixiu's voice was calm, but to Hongli it sounded like an unprecedented warmth between mother and son.
It is something that I have not been able to catch up with even after living to this day.
"Thank you, Empress Madam, for your care. I dare not refuse your kindness, but how can I trouble you to send me to the Yangxin Palace? From now on, I will come and have meals with you more often."
"So good."
Yixiu agreed with a smile, and the two of them entered the main hall together and sat down.
"Although I prepared lunch for you, why did you suddenly think of coming to my place today?"
"Madam, I came here today to ask for your instructions regarding the entry of everyone from the Qiandi Residence into the palace."
Yixiu nodded slightly. "Since you are the new emperor, the people in the palace and the backyard naturally cannot remain silent for long. Logically, you should first welcome the wife into the palace. After the personal positions and palaces are agreed upon, you can then welcome the concubines into the palace. However, Fucha has just passed away, so this matter is a bit difficult..."
"What the Empress Dowager said is true. My son is also crying over this matter. So, I secretly thought that Qingying has been in charge of all matters in the palace since she entered the palace. My son intends to let Qingying bring Yongqi into the palace first. I wonder if the Empress Dowager thinks this is feasible?"
I thought the Queen Mother would not refuse this matter, but after thinking for a moment, she suddenly shook her head.
"The position of empress is a matter of great importance. Although Qingying is in charge of all matters in the palace, her position is not legitimate. If she were to be in charge of this matter, not only would her reputation be affected, but people would inevitably criticize you for favoring a concubine."
"Empress Mother, my son and Qingying have a different relationship. I have always had intentions..."
"emperor."
Before Hongli could finish his words, Yixiu interrupted him.
"No matter what you think, walls have ears. My Jingren Palace is not completely impenetrable."
"If these words get out, it won't be a good thing."
Hongli straightened his expression and said, "Yes, son, thank you very much for your teachings, Empress Dowager."
"Don't talk about teaching or not, you still need to worry about this matter yourself."
Hongli looked at Yixiu again and said, "Empress Dowager, if that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to worry about this matter."
"You mean you want me to decide the positions of the concubines in the harem?"
"Yes, with the passing of my wife, my son originally wanted Qingying, but what the Empress Dowager said makes sense. Now it seems that only you can make the decision."
Yixiu maintained her smile and said, "Let's put this aside for now. The old duck soup is hot right now. Let's have lunch first and talk about it later."
"Yes."
...
Qinglan Courtyard.
Ever since Su Lujun started interfering in Fucha's funeral, she never spoke on the matter again.
He handed all the matters over to Su Lujun.
But on the surface, he is still busy with this matter, making it impossible for others to find any fault.
After lunch, he looked at Yongqi dancing and waving his hands on the couch, and he felt naturally happy and at ease.
The door curtain opened, and Xiu Xia slowly approached. "Master, there's news from Qionghua Courtyard. Master Su has fainted in Qionghua Courtyard due to exhaustion."
It sounded like urgent news, but when Xiuxia said it, there was no urgency at all.
Qingying reached out and pinched Yongji's chubby cheeks. "Is Jin here?"
"Master, Jin is currently with Master Su."
Qingying casually pulled a thin blanket over Yongji, chuckled, and then spoke.
"Jin's own body was crippled, but she was jealous of Su's repeated pregnancies, so she had evil intentions and not only instigated Su, but also plotted to take over the position of Consort."
"Even after Su refused, he pretended to be accommodating, but in reality, he was ruthless and took the life of Su's unborn child."
"So, do you understand?"
Admiration showed on Xiuxia's face.
