Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1132 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 58

Concubine Qi really didn't expect that she and her son would really be abandoned by Jiang Xinxin. She walked out of Wanfang Wanhe in despair. Naturally, the news quickly spread throughout the harem. At least Shunpin was extremely satisfied that Concubine Qi did not get any advantage from Jiang Xinxin. Not to mention that her Sixth Prince was still young, who wouldn't like the throne?

The Third Prince, Hongshi, already had the two major advantages of being older and being the de facto eldest son. Da Pangju also paid the most attention to him on weekdays. It was only after the members of the Fucha clan warned her that the Third Prince was not smart and that if Da Pangju had lived longer, he would never have chosen the Third Prince that she gave up the idea of ​​taking action against Concubine Qi and her son.

Of course, she herself understood that the conditions for taking action against the Third Prince and Concubine Qi in the harem must be very harsh. She hesitated and even made up her mind at one point. After all, the throne was too tempting. If she had no prince, it would be fine, but she gave birth to the first prince after Big Fat Ju ascended the throne, a real prince.

Jiang Xinxin had no idea that Concubine Shun Fucha was so "genius". She just thought that there were a lot of trivial things to do every day, so she simply found an excuse to show filial piety to the late emperor and moved to Changchun Garden not far away with Jianqiu and others.

After Concubine Jing and Noble Lady Xin received the news, they both missed Princess Wenshu and Princess Shuhe who were taking classes with the concubines, so they went to Changchun Garden under the pretext of serving the empress.

Big Fat Ju didn't want to agree at first. He also knew about the joke that Concubine Qi made in front of Jiang Xinxin, so he thought that Jiang Xinxin went to Changchun Garden because she was impatient to see Concubine Qi and her son, and thought it was a good idea for her to go to Changchun Garden to avoid it.

But Concubine Jing still controls some of the palace power. If she leaves, Concubine Qi will be the only one in charge of the Old Summer Palace.

But who asked Jingpin to ask the imperial maid to take over the little power in her hands temporarily? Big Fat Ju admired Jingpin's indifference to power. Besides, Wen Shugong persuaded Jingpin with emotion and reason. He was touched by Jingpin's motherly heart and let it go without paying attention.

With Concubine Jing taking the lead, the idle Concubine Xin seemed dispensable. For Princess Shuhe's sake, Fatty Ju also agreed to Concubine Xin's request to go to Changchun Garden.

As soon as the Queen left, even if it was only temporarily, the concubines in the Old Summer Palace felt that one less thing to worry about and became more relaxed. However, Concubine Chun suddenly went into labor, and Jiang Xinxin, who had just been relieved for half a month, had to urgently row a boat from Changchun Garden back to the Old Summer Palace.

Concubine Chun gave birth to a beautiful little princess. The little princess was in good health and was well taken care of. She specifically asked the imperial physician if she could continue to have children, so she loved the newborn little princess very much.

Seeing that Concubine Chun still had a childish look on her face and had become a mother, and had done her job well, Big Fat Ju immediately promoted Concubine Chun to Concubine Chun, and the canonization ceremony was scheduled on the day of the little princess's full moon.

Jiang Xinxin counted on her fingers with great interest. Now there was only one concubine, Concubine Qi, in the palace. There were four concubines, namely Concubine Jing, Concubine Geng, Concubine Shun, Concubine Qi, plus Concubine Rou, Concubine Chun and Concubine Shen, which actually exceeded the number of six concubines. There were also Concubine Xin and Concubine Fu among the honored ladies. There was no one like the concubines, but it was said that there were many young and beautiful palace maids hidden in the enclosure.

Therefore, before the ceremony of conferring the title of Concubine Chun, Jiang Xinxin suggested that the harem should be conferred titles. "There is only Concubine Qi in the harem now. I would like to promote Concubine Jing and Concubine Geng to the title of Concubine. After all, Concubine Jing has been managing the harem diligently in the past few years. She is also an old lady in the Qian Palace and raised Princess Wenshu. She deserves this grace."

"There is also Concubine Geng, who has more experience than Concubine Jing, and she also raised the Fifth Prince with great care, so she should also be given some respect."

"There is also the noble lady Xin who is in the noble lady category. The eldest princess should also be able to give her face."

"Also, the late emperor's concubines, after all, they have done a great job in educating the princess, so they should be given some grace."

Big Fat Orange pondered for a moment, and finally agreed, "It's just that the war situation on the front line is still unclear. I have previously appointed two concubines in the name of the prince and princess, so the appointment of concubines in the harem can only be postponed to the end of the year."

Jiang Xinxin smiled lightly: "It would be great if the emperor agrees. It doesn't matter when the title is conferred."

Jiang Xinxin knew that the national treasury might be out of money. After all, no matter how many things the Ministry of Internal Affairs seized, most of them went into Dapangju's private treasury, and the things that went into the national treasury were relatively few. In his later years, the late emperor, in order to be a benevolent monarch and his people, showed a lot of leniency to his subordinates and condoned the court officials and clan members from embezzling the national treasury.

In addition, there have been many major and minor events in the past two years. First, there were the Yellow River floods and droughts in the north, then the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and later there were small-scale plagues everywhere. The national treasury has gradually shrunk.

As for the conferment of titles on the harem, the national treasury would certainly not be willing to pay much money, so they could only use the money from Da Pangju's private treasury, and Da Pangju was really reluctant to do so.

But if the Dzungars win a great victory, the money must be spent.

After finishing the enthronement ceremony of Concubine Rou, Jiang Xinxin set off again for Changchun Garden. Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin followed directly. However, the empress dowager actually sent a letter to Jiang Xinxin at this time to surrender and ask for peace.

Jiang Xinxin just took a quick glance and couldn't help laughing out loud, then handed the empress dowager's letter to Jianqiu.

Jianqiu didn't care to be shy about anything. Although there was a hint of hesitation on her face, her hands were very steady and she took it directly.

Jian Qiu carefully read the Queen Mother's letter. The more she read, the angrier she became. Her breathing became heavier. "Your Majesty! How could the Queen Mother do this?!"

Jiang Xinxin sneered, "How can you use Honghui to threaten me? Why can't she? What do you think she cares about now?"

"Our Queen Mother is really interesting."

"When she was young, she had a hard time finding a good man. She was personally sent to the palace by Longkodo to bear a son for Empress Xiaoyi, thus consolidating the status and power of the Tonggiya clan. In her middle age, she encountered the rival Concubine Shu. If she had not had the power in the palace, she would have lived a worse life than Concubine Rong. In her later years, she foolishly wanted to create a drama of succession from brother to brother in an attempt to overthrow the country."

"In her entire life, she has never had a moment when she knew what she wanted."

In fact, Jianqiu wanted to ask the Queen Mother why she valued the Ulanara clan so much instead of her own maternal clan, the Uya clan. As a result, Jiang Xinxin turned around and chuckled, "Our Queen Mother herself doesn't even look down on her own Uya clan origin."

Jianqiu was shocked to realize that she had asked the question unconsciously. She lowered her head in embarrassment and covered her mouth quietly, then placed the empress dowager's letter on the table next to Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin looked towards the direction of the palace and told Jianqiu, "I should still have a few capable people. Since the Queen Mother doesn't want a grandson, it's not a good idea to keep the nephews and nieces in the Fourteenth Master's house."

It was rare for Jiang Xinxin to attack the child again. Jianqiu hesitated for a moment and did not move.

Jiang Xinxin understood that Jianqiu wanted to give her some time to think it over and not let her anger cloud her mind and make an irreversible decision.

Jiang Xinxin accepted the kindness and said to Jianqiu, "Jianqiu, I have thought it through very clearly. Even if I send someone to check Hui'er's eternal lamp now, I'm afraid there won't be any results. I have to prepare for the worst, and I need enough chips."

Jianqiu took a deep breath and left.
