Chapter 333 Morning Meeting

Following the ceremony of enthroning the queen, it was the ceremony of promoting Yongyan to a higher position.

However, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not feeling well, so the enthronement ceremony was changed to a wedding, and the crown prince edict was read out on the wedding day.

Yongyan's wife was chosen to be Xitala, the daughter of Erjing'e, a second-rank official and deputy chief of the Imperial Household Department.

Xitala's family background was not low. Her father's ancestors were from the famous Jianzhou clan, and the mother of Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, was from this clan.

This marriage was arranged by the emperor. Yan Wan had been postponing it for Yongyan for two years, and was waiting for this moment, which was a double happiness.

......

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Yongyan is getting married. Xitala is well-known among the boudoir for her virtue. With her as a child's play, the Queen can rest assured..."

At the morning meeting before the wedding, all the concubines gathered in Yongshou Palace, and Concubine Yu spoke slowly.

"Yeah, in a few days, I'm afraid we'll have to make room for the young people."

Concubine Mei drank the fine Longjing tea in her hand and sighed in her heart.

There are not many old people left in the palace. She became a concubine when the emperor ascended the throne. Along with Shufei, Wanpin, and Qingpin, she has the longest seniority.

Time flies. In a few days, I will be called a concubine.

"Everyone gets old one day. Do you still want to stay here forever?"

Yan Wan was sitting at the top and teasingly said so.

The emperor is old, and although Yongyan is now the crown prince, it won't take long for him to become the emperor. This is something everyone in the harem knows well.

After a lifetime of hustle and bustle within the red walls, it is finally time to enjoy his retirement.

"There's nothing wrong with that. There are so many royal gardens. It's better to be with all the sisters than to be confined to this small world."

Shu Fei was quite open-minded. She had long been tired of staying in this palace and was eager to leave and spend her remaining years in peace.

Yes, Xiangshan, even the Old Summer Palace, is more comfortable than this small and cramped Forbidden City.

The emperor has paid attention to health preservation in recent years and has expanded many gardens, large and small. He spends most of the year in the Old Summer Palace.

In order to serve these ancestors well, Yongyan continued to build the garden according to the plan left by the emperor, waiting to move in after he ascended the throne.

The Forbidden City is small and cold, not suitable for retirement living.

Not long after issuing the edict, the Empress Dowager also moved to the Old Summer Palace, where the winter was much more comfortable than in the Forbidden City.

With the emperor away, the concubines in the harem got along more harmoniously. After chatting for a while, Yan Wan dismissed the morning meeting.

Now that the emperor is no longer in power, Yan Wan has exempted the rules of morning and evening visits. Except for the first and fifteenth days of the month, the rest of the time is at the discretion of the concubines.

At this time, only Yihuan and Ruiji remained in Yongshou Palace.

The three of them have been sisters for decades and have a very deep bond.

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager, Empress Shu, and Empress Mei."

It was just time for the morning court session. Yongyan, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, knelt respectfully on the ground to greet everyone.

"You are the crown prince now, and you have government affairs to attend to. You don't need to come to Yongshou Palace every day."

"It's a good thing that a child is filial. After Yongyan got married and set up his own household, I couldn't see him even though I wanted to. Yongyan, don't listen to your mother. She's eager for you to come."

Ruiji spoke in a familiar manner.

When Yongyan was young, Yanwan assisted in managing the six palaces. She had many affairs to deal with, so the two of them often took care of Yongyan. In ordinary people's lives, they could call her godmother.
