Chapter 120 The Shield Concubine 60
On the day Azhi finished her confinement, she was officially canonized as Imperial Noble Consort.
This Imperial Noble Consort held the same rank as the Vice Empress, and the enthronement ceremony in the palace was grand.
In a house in the western suburbs of the capital, Zeng Rou listened to the hustle and bustle outside.
She couldn't help but ask the maid beside her, "Is there any big happy event today? Why is it so lively outside?"
During the months that Zeng Rou escaped from the palace, she was locked up in a house by Chen Yue's men.
The excuse is to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Now that Empress Dowager Xu has accepted Zeng Rou's death, it would be troublesome if she found out that Zeng Rou is still alive.
She was very closed to news from the outside world, but she still guessed by calculating the time that Azhi was about to give birth.
The maidservant has always been lukewarm towards Zeng Rou.
However, facing Zeng Rou's question, she still answered honestly, "The eldest prince in the palace is one month old, and his birth mother, Empress Yuan, has been named Imperial Noble Consort. Today is a day of great joy for the whole country."
The whole world is happy?
Zeng Rou grabbed her sleeve tightly and spoke unwillingly.
"She is just an imperial concubine, not a queen. How can she be worthy of the words 'great joy to the world'?"
Fu Rong had promised himself that he would be able to take charge of the government in due time.
At that time, I will crown myself as the queen and become his only wife.
The two of them will share the world together.
Hearing Zeng Rou's arrogant words, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the maid's eyes.
She is just an abandoned concubine, yet she is so outspoken.
At night Zeng Rou wanted to write a letter to relieve her lovesickness.
But this letter never fell into Fu Rong's hands.
Chen Yue read the contents of the letter, and finally burned it under the candlelight. He then turned to the woman beside him and said, "You have been following Zeng Rou these days, and you know her handwriting very well. Copy a copy according to the letter on the table."
Originally, Zeng Rou wanted to write a letter to Fu Rong, the content of which was to talk about the past and express her longing for Fu Rong, so that Fu Rong would not forget her.
He also mentioned the promise Fu Rong made to Zeng Rou.
However, the content of the letter on the table was to persuade Fu Rong to leave the palace to reunite with him. He said that he did not seek fame or wealth but only love, and mentioned various aspects of the ordinary married life outside the palace.
The meanings of the two letters are completely different.
The woman was the maidservant beside Zeng Rou. She checked the letter according to Zeng Rou's handwriting.
A brand new letter appeared in front of Chen Yue. Looking at the letter that looked exactly the same as before, Chen Yue nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right. Keep a close eye on Zeng Rou and don't let her run away."
"Yes, the servant understands."
The letter was quickly handed to Azhi. Looking at the affectionate content in the letter, Azhi knew that this was Chen Yue's masterpiece.
Zeng Rou is not a woman without ambition. As she guides Fu Rong to rely on her step by step, she develops feelings for her that go beyond master and servant.
The fact that she allowed Fu Rong to promise to be crowned queen was enough to show that what she wanted was not just a simple relationship.
What Zeng Rou wanted was the supreme position of queen.
Seeing that Azhi was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort and now gave birth to Fu Rong's eldest son.
She could no longer keep steady.
Chen Yue, who was standing by, was holding the child and teasing him.
But a baby who is just one month old only knows how to sleep.
Empress Dowager Xu personally named the child Fu Changsheng.
Looking at the child whose skin had lost its red color, the tenderness in Chen Yue's eyes could not be melted.
Because the child looks so much like Azhi, many of the similarities with Xu Huaiqian have been diluted.
You have to look closely to see that the similarities between Changsheng and Xu Huaiqian are also very similar to Empress Dowager Xu.
"My lady, Changsheng is smiling."
Chen Yue hugged Changsheng with a face full of surprise.
I saw the soft bun grinning and blowing bubbles.
"Ayue, do you think the Queen Mother will be aware of Changsheng's background?"
Changsheng is just a baby now, and I am afraid that as he grows up, he will look more and more like his biological father.
Hearing the worry in Azhi's heart, Chen Yue put the child down and walked forward to hold Azhi's arm.
There was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice.
"Your Majesty, just rest assured. In the near future, there will be no more obstacles for you in the palace. I will clear them all for you one by one."
"it is good."
Azhi came to the Yangxin Palace with a letter.
Ever since the full moon of Changsheng.
Queen Mother Xu once again completely gave up power.
But being in charge of government affairs was not as easy as Fu Rong thought.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine requests an audience."
Manager Li changed the teacup and reported in a low voice.
Fu Rong, who was reviewing the memorials, raised her head and said, "Quickly let the Imperial Concubine in."
After spending several months together, Fu Rong has grown to trust Azhi more and more.
Sometimes when he encountered difficult problems in court, he would also ask Azhi for his opinion.
Azhi could always come up with solutions that hit the nail on the head, which made Fu Rong appreciate Azhi's abilities even more.
Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in political affairs, but Fu Rong did not restrict Azhi.
Today, Ahzhi was wearing a bright red long dress, a crown inlaid with oriental pearls on her head, and phoenix hairpins on both sides, looking elegant and luxurious.
Now that there is no queen in the harem, the imperial concubine has the same status as the vice queen and can wear the phoenix hairpin.
In fact, according to Empress Dowager Xu, Azhi is worthy of the position of queen.
But Fu Rong was still thinking about Zeng Rou and refused to give in on the matter.
Azhi bowed politely towards Fu Rong.
"I have met your Majesty."
"Hurry up and get up. Why did you decide to come to Yangxin Palace today? Is Changsheng well behaved today?"
Fu Rong personally helped Azhi up.
"Changsheng is very well behaved."
At this time, Azhi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
"I received a letter from Aunt Zeng Rou outside the palace. I dared not delay and brought it to you."
When Fu Rong heard that it was a letter sent by Zeng Rou, all her attention was drawn to it.
He took the letter, opened it and read ten lines at a glance. It was full of love expressed by "Zeng Rou", and it also mentioned the ordinary couple's life outside the palace.
Azhi sat aside drinking tea and watched Fu Rong fall into fantasy.
Fu Rong has been overwhelmed by the affairs of the court these days.
After Empress Dowager Xu completely let go and gave up power, Fu Rong did not feel any happiness.
Faced with mountains of memorials and endless government affairs to deal with every day, Fu Rong, who was already weak-willed, had developed a sense of rejection.
"Zeng Rou"'s letters mention the life of an ordinary couple.
Fu Rong couldn't help but look at Ah Zhi and asked, "Did the Imperial Concubine grow up in the capital?"
"I did grow up in the capital, but I also lived in the Jiangnan area during that time."
Because she grew up in the palace, Fu Rong was very interested in things happening outside the palace.
He couldn't help but sit aside and ask curiously, "What is life like outside the palace?"
Life outside the palace was of course poor, with people working from sunrise to sunset to make a living.
But if you are rich and powerful, you can live a prosperous life.
Ah Zhi looked at Fu Rong and smiled, "The life outside the palace that I have known since childhood can only be described as colorful."
"In spring, you can go hiking and enjoy the flowers; in summer, you can go boating; in autumn, the maple trees are red and the mountains are full of fruits; in winter, the snow is falling and you can experience the artistic conception of the book."
