Chapter 222
Hongli sighed again.
"Qingying, I know, but I feel uneasy. Zhu Ying was persecuted and injured in order to give birth to a child, and now she has passed away like this. It is really..."
"Your Majesty, I know you are distressed, but whoever harmed Sister Zhu Ying has already paid the price. Your Majesty should not be too distressed about this, otherwise, won't the sisters in the harem be worried as well?"
Qingying spoke softly, lightly holding Hongli's hand, and comforting him several times, finally making the sadness on his face fade away.
"Don't worry, I know, it's just that this matter was too sudden, I really didn't expect it."
"Yes, I know that the emperor has always been the most rational."
"However, Sister Zhu Ying passed away so suddenly. Your Majesty, I dare to ask you to grant her posthumous honors."
Hongli nodded heavily.
"Qingying, you are right. Zhu Ying deserves posthumous honors."
After he finished speaking, he fell silent again.
He seemed to be thinking about what kind of posthumous honor to give Fu Cha Zhuying.
Qingying doesn't care about this.
So what if she was posthumously crowned as queen?
What does it have to do with me?
Even if Hongli was crazy, the civil and military officials in the court were not crazy, and neither were the clan members.
Such a thing would never happen.
Just as he was lost in thought, Hongli finally spoke again.
"Qingying, I intend to posthumously confer the title of Noble Consort Zhemin on Zhu Ying. The funeral rites and regulations will be conducted in accordance with those for a Noble Consort. Is this a good idea?"
Qingying nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Sister Zhuying has served the emperor with great merit. She deserves the title of Imperial Concubine. I think it is very good."
The matter of Concubine Zhemin was thus settled.
The young second princess naturally had to attend the funeral of Concubine Zhemin.
However, Concubine Rong, mindful of the Second Princess's ill health, went to the Yangxin Palace in person to report to the Emperor.
On the grounds that her biological mother had passed away and the princess could not afford to get into trouble again, the second princess was asked to kneel for only an incense stick of time.
The emperor was heartbroken for Concubine Zhemin, and naturally for her children as well.
He agreed to Concubine Rong's request almost without hesitation.
A funeral ceremony that was ostensibly a "royal concubine" ended abruptly.
The second princess also moved completely to Shoukang Palace with Concubine Rong, and no one came to disturb her anymore.
It's just like that.
It’s hard for Concubine Yi.
Seeing the favor right in front of him, the emperor had no intention of seeing her again because of the death of Concubine Zhemin.
Moreover, the emperor's pain lasted for half a month in a blink of an eye.
It's not just Concubine Yi. It's been a month since the six new people entered the palace, but only Concubine Zhao has received favor.
No one cared about Concubine Min's life or death, but many people were dissatisfied with Concubine Zhao's favor.
However, the trend in the harem has always been to prioritize favor.
Even if they couldn't stand it, no one dared to show any displeasure to Concubine Zhao at this critical juncture.
Due to the depressing death of Concubine Zhemin, the harem was very quiet for a while.
This year's winter seems to have come especially early.
October is not even halfway through, but the first winter snow has already fallen in the Forbidden City.
It was at this time that Hailan's fetus began to move.
In the Yanxi Palace.
Qingying sat in the main hall, with Concubine Wan beside her.
Listening to the faint cries of pain coming from the delivery room, Concubine Wan clasped her hands together and kept muttering to herself.
Obviously very worried.
Looking at the other person like this, Qingying had some new views on the harem.
In Zi'ao City, although the concubines in various palaces were on good terms with each other on the surface, Qingying had never seen anyone so truly worried about another.
Or maybe it's because there are so few children born that I don't have the opportunity to discover it.
It's just that Hailan's child...
Thinking of this, Qingying looked up at the door.
It's time to come.
Just as the thought came to an end, a chant started, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
This is a prince.
Qingying had already told the Queen Mother about this.
In the future, this child will be adopted by my cousin Honghui.
Now that the child is about to be born, the Queen Mother is naturally worried.
