Chapter 990 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (27)
Chapter 990 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (27)
"Because the master doesn't interact with the other concubines."
The little pot explained with a smile, "Every time she comes, the master is willing to see her."
It inexplicably gave Dai Jia Guiren a misconception.
The owner really needs her as a friend.
So she naturally assumed her master would help her.
"Still dreaming."
Li Siqi sneered, "When we lived in the same room, I never treated her as a friend."
Is it possible now?
I really shouldn't give them too much credit.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know what they are.
"Didn't Master know that she had this idea all along?"
Little Pot smiled and said, "At first, she was even planning to ask her master to allow her to move to Changchun Palace."
Now she has a poor son.
Naturally, she should use her son to gain sympathy, and it would be best if the master himself offered to help.
In this way, she can move in without offending Consort Rong.
It will also allow her son to live a good life.
"I am not a fool."
Li Siqi said calmly, "I'm not her confidante. Whatever she wants, I will help her achieve it."
Neither the Emperor nor Consort Tong sent anyone to Changchun Palace.
Isn't it nice for me to live alone?
"They just have to find someone to make them miserable."
"They think of themselves as their owner's best friend."
The little pot laughed and joked, "Of course, I think the master will help."
Even if her master doesn't help now, she believes that one day she will make him soften his heart.
Sooner or later, he will take her under his wing and protect her and her child.
He paused here.
Little Pot said again, "Master, in fact, people will be entering Changchun Palace sooner or later. Although Consort Dai Jia has her own ulterior motives, she is not a bad person."
He has some skills but not much ability, and he doesn't have any powerful family backing him up.
In addition, the Seventh Prince has a good personality.
The master can easily take them in, mother and child.
"Let's talk about it then."
Li Siqi had neither a strong dislike nor a great liking for Dai Jiashi.
From her perspective, it would be normal for her to resort to any means necessary for her own sake and that of her child.
As for whether or not to let people move in, she hasn't decided yet.
“Master, any other pretentious woman would be no match for Consort Dai Jia.”
Xiao Huzi continued, "Well, she's a fairly honest person."
Although she wanted to take advantage of her master's kindness, she didn't resort to any disgusting tactics.
Later, when the people of Changchun Palace Fortress arrived.
The master can then have Lady Daijia move over.
She will remember the favor then.
I think this is a good thing.
"We'll see how things go then."
Li Siqi didn't care at all, "When will the imperial edict for bestowing titles upon the harem be issued by Emperor Kangxi?"
"almost."
Xiao Huzi laughed and said, "This time, Emperor Kangxi was quite generous, adding quite a few ranks to the emperor's titles."
There is only one empress, and none for the time being.
The Imperial Noble Consort prepared two people, and Emperor Kangxi prepared to bestow titles upon the Tongjia clan.
Consort Wen, of the Niohuru clan, was originally qualified to be granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort.
However, Emperor Kangxi intended to bestow honors upon his cousin, granting her only the title of Imperial Noble Consort.
As for the empress, he did not want to bestow a title upon her for the time being.
After all, he had to consider the Crown Prince's interests.
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi decided to give Consort Wen a new title, namely Consort Wenxi.
The title of Consort with two ranks was equivalent to being half a grade higher, which was fitting for the status of the Niohuru clan.
"If there are two Imperial Noble Consorts, then there are four Noble Consorts?"
Li Siqi looked surprised. "Why is this Emperor Kangxi so generous with the rank?"
Something seems off.
"He had no choice."
Xiao Huzi laughed and said, "The main reason is that there are too many people who want to be promoted to the rank of Consort, so he has to add a few more to the rank of Imperial Consort."
Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "How many concubines does she plan to bestow titles upon?"
"Of course there are eight."
Xiao Huzi explained, "Actually, Emperor Kangxi really didn't want to give too many high-ranking concubines."
Unfortunately, there were too many concubines with high social status.
Many of the concubines gave birth to sons.
There are simply too few imperial concubines to accommodate them all.
He knew very well that even if he was currently suppressing others' ranks, he would eventually be granted the titles of concubine or imperial consort.
Let's just finalize it now.
Li Siqi then said, "Eight concubines are prepared for the rank of Consort, so there must be at least twelve Concubines?"
"Yes."
Little Pot nodded, "The remaining noble ladies, attendants, concubines, and palace maids are not counted."
"Any amount is fine."
"Given the number of women Emperor Kangxi had, the ranks he established were actually not that many."
"In total, there are only about twenty high-ranking concubines, which is indeed not many."
How many women did Emperor Kangxi intend to bestow titles upon as imperial concubines?
"The master is Consort Liang, Consort Hui is Consort Hui, and Consort Yi is Consort Yi."
Xiao Huzi read aloud: "Consort Rong is Consort Rong, Consort De is Consort De, Consort Xuan is Consort Xuan, and Consort Ping is Consort Ping."
Daijia also had a chance to rise to power.
Unfortunately, Emperor Kangxi did not like and was wary of the Seventh Prince's congenital foot ailment.
However, Lady Daijia was still given the rank of concubine.
Although she held the rank of concubine, Emperor Kangxi did not intend to assign her a palace.
Therefore, her title of Consort was merely a title; she held no real power.
"Yes, that's normal."
Li Siqi then said, "There are eight imperial concubine positions, and seven of them will be officially appointed."
The remaining concubine position will be fiercely contested, with people fighting tooth and nail for it.
"These are other people's business."
Little Pot laughed and said, "Master, work hard! You're only a concubine now. You should become one of the Four Noble Consorts."
"That's a good goal."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "Even if I don't become the Empress, I should at least be a Noble Consort."
"That's right, that's right."
The little pot nodded in agreement, "Master, keep up the good work!"
……
half a month later.
The imperial concubines who had been appointed to high positions in the harem have come down to receive their titles.
There was an uproar immediately.
Consort Tong was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort.
She almost fainted because she didn't become empress.
Consort Wen did not rise to the rank of Empress; instead, she was given a new title.
She became the Consort Wenxi, who held two official titles.
Niohuru accepted it calmly, after all, she had not borne any children for the emperor.
It's quite an achievement for someone from a prominent family to attain the position of Imperial Concubine.
Consort Hui became Imperial Concubine Hui, and was the highest-ranking imperial concubine.
This was clearly to save face for the eldest prince, Yinzhi.
The following rankings are: Consort Liang, Consort Yi, Consort Rong, Consort De, Consort Xuan, and Consort Ping.
The two concubines ranked after them also had no children; they were able to attain their positions through the influence of their powerful families.
Consort Xuan was a Mongolian consort, so she definitely had to give face to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
It was perfectly normal for her to be granted the title of imperial concubine.
Consort Ping was Empress Hesheli's younger sister, so Emperor Kangxi would certainly have to give Empress Hesheli some face.
It's normal for her to receive this imperial concubine title.
As for the remaining concubine position, it depends on who is qualified to take it.
After the lively and bustling ceremony of bestowing the title of imperial concubine ended.
The harem gradually returned to peace.
However, the Imperial Noble Consort still looked sickly.
She clearly hasn't recovered from the blow.
Since she was not the empress, she naturally could not require the concubines to pay their respects to her every day.
You can still visit Chengqian Palace to pay your respects on the 1st and 5th of each month.
Li Siqi is very satisfied with the days when she doesn't have to get up early every day.
The days passed by.
Suddenly, news came from Cining Palace that the Empress Dowager was critically ill.
All the concubines and imperial consorts were required to attend to the sick.
Li Siqi is no exception.
