Chapter 169 Fight 1
"Now there is Jiang, whose land is beautiful and whose reputation is highly respected in the imperial court, whose virtue is known to all...who are both virtuous and talented...so, she is made the empress, and she commands the harem."
Inside the Tai Chi Hall, Wang Jun's voice was higher-pitched and more rhythmic than usual.
The Tai Chi Hall, which was usually empty, was now full of people.
Civil and military officials stood outside in solemn silence.
Jiang Wanyue, wearing a dark blue robe and a nine-dragon and nine-phoenix crown, had a calm expression.
"I accept your order."
Her voice was clear and calm.
After waiting for so long, I finally waited for this moment.
This is what she deserves.
So, Jiang Wanyue was not too nervous.
Li Ce, who was standing in front, walked up to her step by step and helped her up.
The two men stood facing outwards, the ceremonial officials sang along, and all the civil and military officials bowed down.
"Your subjects pay their respects to the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Jiang Wanyue waved her right hand horizontally.
"Flat body."
His left hand was tightly held by Li Ce.
She had been very busy these days, and finally, the queen coronation ceremony was over.
After that, he returned to receive the worship of the ladies in the inner court.
Li Ce let Jiang Wanyue live with him in Liangyi Palace, but Jiang Wanyue still had her own palace.
Fenglai Palace, where the queen lives, is located just north of Liangyi Palace. It is located on the line in the middle of the entire inner palace through the inner palace gate.
What I didn’t expect was that before I even walked into the gate of Fenglai Palace, I saw Xiuchun running towards me in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong suddenly launched an attack."
Concubine Rong is Wei Fuxue.
The decree to confer titles on the concubines in the harem had been issued two days ago. Zhu Yan was named Defei, Luo Yudian was named Shufei, and the rest of the unfavored concubines were all beauties.
Li Ce was undecided about Wei Fuxue at first. He wanted to give her the title of Jieyushi or Concubine, but after Jiang Wanyue's persuasion, he finally made her Rongfei.
There are only four first-rank concubines, namely Guishu, Dexian, and Rongfei is a second-rank concubine. She is not as good as the above, but more than enough compared to the below.
No one expected that Concubine Rong would suddenly take action on the day she was crowned queen.
Mi'er was angry and anxious.
"Today is such a good day, why did she choose this day when she could have started the movement? I think she did it on purpose."
Whether it was intentional or not, it made no difference to Jiang Wanyue.
She looked indifferent.
"Have you called for help from the Imperial Hospital?"
Xiuchun nodded: "I have sent the court attendant and the two best imperial doctors over, and the midwives have also come to the palace. Don't worry, I will be watching over them, nothing will happen."
"Then leave it to you."
Jiang Wanyue smiled, patted Xiuchun's hand, and continued walking inside.
Inside the hall, the other concubines had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Wanyue walked to the main seat at the top and sat down.
Zhu Yan immediately led everyone forward two steps, stood still, and bowed down in greeting.
"I have met the Queen, long live the Queen."
"Everyone get up!"
Jiang Wanyue waved her hand and called them to sit down. After a few polite words, she asked them to leave.
Zhu Yan did not leave.
"Wouldn't you like to go over and take a look at Wei's?"
When the people around Wei came to report the news, they all heard it, and Zhu Yan was no exception.
Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows.
"She chose to be born today simply because she wanted to take this opportunity to see the emperor. What does it matter if I go or not? It's not me she wants to see."
Zhu Yan frowned.
"She has been very well behaved these past few months. I thought she had accepted her fate and learned her lesson, but she still refuses to give up. What day is today? Even if the emperor still has feelings for her, he would not choose to visit her on the day of her coronation!"
Jiang Wanyue smiled.
"If everyone could see things as clearly as my sister, there wouldn't be so many fights in the palace."
Zhu Yan sighed.
"I don't like her as a person, but I feel sorry for the child... I hope the child can be born safely!"
Having said this, she suddenly paused and muttered something again.
"I think she chose today because she wanted to let the child borrow your luck. She had a difficult pregnancy. Doctor Zeng said she might not be able to keep the baby. And it's only been seven months..."
Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed.
If the baby is born safely, Wei Fuxue can publicize the child's extraordinaryness. If the baby dies, it may be considered that she, the queen, has "jinxed" the baby.
Wei Fuxue has become smarter!
Unfortunately, it's just a little cleverness.
Jiang Wanyue did not continue the topic. After sitting with Zhu Yan for a while, she sent him out and turned to call Chang Xin, the eunuch in charge of Fenglai Palace, and asked him to notify Li Ce.
When the steward arrived at the gate of Liangyi Palace, he was stopped by Liang Gaosheng.
"Eunuch Chang, is there something urgent? His Highness is resting. If it's not urgent, come back later!"
Chang Xin was not from the Eastern Palace. He was originally a eunuch in the imperial palace, managing Fengyi Palace. However, Fengyi Palace had been uninhabited for many years, and as a manager, he actually had no power. He usually just led his subordinates to clean up. After a long time, he seemed a little dull and not good at speaking.
But Jiang Wanyue did not replace him.
Firstly, she had just become the queen and didn't want to make drastic changes and change people frequently. Secondly, she didn't have many staff and they had to be assigned to critical positions, which did not include Fenglai Palace.
Chang Xin had always been worried that he would be transferred, so he naturally wanted to do a good job since he finally got the task.
"Eunuch Liang, the Queen ordered me to come here. Concubine Rong of Liufang Palace suddenly launched an attack."
Liang Gaosheng disagreed.
"So what? How can Concubine Rong's childbirth be more important than the emperor's rest? The affairs of the harem are decided by the queen, so why bother to disturb the emperor? If the emperor is tired and hurt because of this, can you bear the responsibility?"
Chang Xin was so frightened that his face turned pale and he waved his hands repeatedly.
Liang Gaosheng waved his hands like chasing chickens: "Go back quickly! When Concubine Rong gives birth, come back and report."
Chang Xin wanted to say something, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't utter a single word after trying for a long time. Finally, he walked away with his head hung.
When he returned to Fenglai Palace, he knelt down immediately when he saw Jiang Wanyue.
"I am an incompetent servant and failed to do the job that the queen asked me to do."
Jiang Wanyue was very surprised.
"It's just a message. What went wrong? Get up quickly."
Jiang Wanyue's tone was gentle, which touched Chang Xin's heart.
He was already forty years old, but he was bullied by a junior who was only thirty years old. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your generosity is a blessing to Fenglai Palace... No, it is a blessing to everyone in the palace."
As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and recounted what had just happened.
Jiang Wanyue frowned slightly.
She had come into contact with both Liang Gaosheng and Wang Jun, and originally thought that both of them were pretty good, with Wang Jun being more stable and Liang Gaosheng being more clever.
There was actually nothing wrong with what Liang Gaosheng said. He was Li Ce's man, so naturally, everything was of primary concern to Li Ce.
It's just that this attitude is a bit too extreme.
Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips and waved at Chang Xin.
"You go down first! I'll take care of this."
