Chapter 358 Brother's Death and Brother's Death 7
"The fact that Concubine Jiang was able to get the Emperor to make her a concubine without a child shows that she is a capable and charming woman. It is naturally a good thing to have her to consume the Emperor's energy. So the Empress should be happy now, instead of getting angry just because the Emperor didn't inform you."
After a pause, Nanny Bai continued, "Your Majesty, don't you think about how distressed Prince Gong would be if he knew you were so angry? Prince Gong already feels sorry for you because of the Emperor's marriage."
"If Prince Gong knew that you were so angry because of the Emperor, I don't know how distressed he would be. Your Majesty should take good care of yourself even for Prince Gong's sake."
That’s right, the Emperor has already granted Prince Gong a marriage, and the wedding date is set for half a year later.
"Mammy, you're right." After hearing what Mammy Bai said, the Queen's anger immediately subsided a lot. "I shouldn't be angry about such a small matter. I should be happy that Concubine Jiang can charm the emperor."
"Perin," the Queen then looked at Perin, "go pick something to send to Concubine Jiang."
"Yes." Perrin immediately stepped out.
Nanny Bai stood up after Perrin left and said, "Empress, the Queen Mother is still waiting for me to report back to you. I will take my leave now."
"Someone, come! Please see Matron Bai off for me." As the queen's voice fell, a little palace maid saw Matron Bai off.
"Alas!" After Nanny Bai left, the Queen sighed quietly, "Prince Gong will be getting married in half a year. Whenever I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable."
"Your Highness," the maid Peizhu said to comfort her, "If love is long-lasting, then it doesn't matter if you are together day and night. Prince Gong only has you in his heart. No one can replace you in his heart. When Prince Gong takes that position in the future, no one can stop him from doting on you."
"Of course I believe in Prince Gong," the Queen's mood immediately improved, with a sweet smile on her face, "Humph! Even if the Emperor grants the marriage of the Left Prime Minister's legitimate daughter to Prince Gong, so what? In Prince Gong's heart, I am his wife, and the Left Prime Minister's legitimate daughter is nothing."
"Your Majesty is right." Peizhu complimented, but there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.
Jiang Chunxi received rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Queen successively, with a sarcastic smile on her face.
To be honest, the emperor in this world is quite pathetic, being betrayed by his closest relatives and loved ones. Jiang Chunxi is worried that when the emperor sees the true face of the empress dowager and knows about the affair between his brother and the queen, he will be so angry that he will die.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect the Emperor to love you so much and make you a concubine so soon," Wen Qing said as she handed her master a cup of tea. "By the way, Your Highness, what should we do next? The Qixia Palace has been marinated by those filth. If you don't find a way to solve it, how can Your Highness conceive an heir to the throne?"
"No hurry, I already have a plan," Jiang Chunxi said after taking a sip of tea, "Chinese New Year will come in three months. Let's give the Queen Mother and the Empress a surprise during the palace banquet on New Year's Eve!"
Some things need to be discovered step by step by the emperor himself. Jiang Chunxi did not intend to expose herself, otherwise there would be no need for the empress dowager to deal with her. I am afraid that the emperor would kill her first.
After the emperor issued the decree to promote Jiang Chunxi, he soon regretted it. It was not that he regretted promoting Jiang Chunxi to a concubine, but that he regretted not telling the empress in advance. However, the imperial decree had already been issued, and it was too late for the emperor to take it back.
The emperor did not go to Jiang Chunxi's palace at night. Logically speaking, as Jiang Chunxi was promoted to concubine today, the emperor should have gone to Jiang Chunxi's palace, but the emperor went to the queen's palace instead, which was equivalent to slapping Jiang Chunxi in the face.
So, the emperor's favor should not be taken seriously.
"Your Majesty, why did you come to my place?" The Queen said to the Emperor with a cold face, "Today is the day when Concubine Jiang is promoted to a concubine. Your Majesty should go to Concubine Jiang's palace. Why did you come to my place? If you don't know, you will think that I, the Queen, can't stand seeing Concubine Jiang promoted to a concubine and am very jealous."
"I'm angry," the emperor came to sit beside the queen and hugged her in his arms, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, my good queen, please forgive me this time, okay? I promise you that I will never make such a mistake again."
"Hmph!" The Queen pulled away the Emperor's arms that were hugging her, "What could the Emperor do wrong? You are the Emperor. If you want to promote a concubine, it's all up to you. How dare I, the Queen, say anything!"
"My dear queen, I really know I was wrong," the emperor was not angry, and still coaxed the queen in a good temper, "How about this! How about I revoke the imperial decree to make Concubine Jiang a concubine?"
Of course, the emperor was just talking. There is no reason to take back the imperial edict.
"What nonsense is your Majesty talking about?" The Queen glared at the Emperor. "How can you take back the imperial edict? If you really take back the imperial edict that conferred the title of Concubine Jiang, then what authority will your imperial edicts as the Emperor have in the future?"
"Okay, okay, I'm not angry with you anymore," the queen continued, "In fact, I'm just angry that you didn't inform me in advance. The position of concubine is the main position of a palace. You didn't inform me and directly issued an order to make Concubine Jiang a concubine. How will the concubines in the harem view me as the queen?"
"Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I will never talk to Your Majesty again."
"My queen is such a considerate and good wife," the emperor hugged the queen again, "don't worry! I won't make such a mistake again."
The queen was so disgusted at this moment that she really wanted to chop off the emperor's hand that was holding her: "Your Majesty, I am not angry now, you should go to Concubine Jiang's palace as soon as possible!"
"Today is the day when Concubine Jiang is promoted to a concubine. If you don't go to Concubine Jiang's palace, people in the palace will laugh at Concubine Jiang behind her back tomorrow. So why don't you hurry up and go to Concubine Jiang's palace!" The Queen pulled away the Emperor's hand that was around her and said:
"Is the Queen trying to drive me away?" The Emperor didn't know what was going on. He felt vaguely uncomfortable. Why did he feel that the Queen seemed to be eager for him to leave?
The queen immediately looked angry again: "What do you mean by that, Your Majesty? Are you questioning my feelings for you?"
Then the queen's eyes turned red: "Yes, I am trying to drive you away. I am the queen now, not the crown princess. My every move must be in line with my status as the queen. I can't do anything as I please."
