The death of the Noble Consort Jia had some impact on her children.
To the entire palace.
It did not have any special impact.
Everyone's lives were still as they should be.
If there was a difference, it was because of the death of the Noble Consort Jia.
There was suddenly a lot of "love" in the harem.
This made the battle between the concubines even more intense.
After the death of the Noble Consort Jia.
Ling Fei quickly rose to the top and became the most favored one in the harem.
In a month.
She actually had one-third of the favor.
Prince Yu passed away due to illness, leaving behind only one daughter — Qing Gege. Qianlong was "grateful" for Prince Yu's contributions and ordered to take Qing Gege into the palace to raise her.
Because there was Princess Lanxin, the favored adopted daughter, in front of him.
After the women in the harem received this news, they all secretly plotted to raise this Qing Gege.
Although Ling Fei already had two daughters,
In the harem.
No one would complain about having too many children.
Even if she was just a daughter, she would be a help to her son when she got married in the future.
Especially an adopted daughter whose father had contributed to the Qing Dynasty.
Since Ling Fei received the news,
After receiving this news.
She had been plotting.
How to get this Qing Gege to be raised by her side.
Qianlong was a soft-hearted person.
After being gently persuaded by Ling Fei and showing her motherly love, he was moved and expressed that he wanted to raise Qing Gege by Ling Fei's side.
Qianlong's idea was very simple. In his opinion, Ling Fei was a very beautiful woman. She was gentle, graceful, and had a gentle personality. Moreover, she had a motherly heart. She would definitely be able to eliminate the fear of Qing Gege when she first entered the palace.
Secondly, Ling Fei had two girls, Seven Gege and Nine Gege. When the time came, with Qing'er, the three girls would be together. They would have a companion.
It was obvious that in Qianlong's heart, Qing'er was nothing. Otherwise, he would have at least considered the identities of the Empress and Ling Fei.
One had to know that Lanxin was raised by the Empress and was the Empress's adopted daughter.
Qing'er was also the Prince's legitimate daughter and the Prince's orphan, but he promised to give her to a concubine. Wasn't this a slap in the face to Prince Yu?
Although Prince Yu had died a long time ago.
On the day that Qinger entered the palace, Siya arrived early in the morning and dragged Lan Xin to the Cining Palace.
She had been curious about this future "head palace maid" by the Empress Dowager's side, the Empress Dowager's "intimate little cotton-padded jacket", and the Empress Dowager's "favorite" for a long time.
Just as Siya and Lan Xin were chatting and teasing the Empress Dowager, a young eunuch came to report that the Emperor had brought Qing Ge Ge over.
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Siya heard Qianlong's unique laughter. She looked over and saw that Qianlong was holding the hand of a delicate and pretty, gentle and quiet little girl.
Siya didn't know if it was because of her existence that the world had started to change.
Qinger was also one of the unforeseen events!
It turned out that Prince Yu had died on the battlefield when Qinger was five years old.
But this time, Prince Yu was still heavily injured on the battlefield, but he didn't die.
Although he was rescued, he was bedridden for several years and only took his last breath a few days ago.
Because of this, Qing Ge Ge entered the palace a few years later.
Perhaps it was because she had lost her parents, but Qinger didn't look well now. Because she was in mourning, she didn't wear any rouge or face powder. Her entire face was frighteningly pale, and her plain clothes made her look even more frail and pitiful.
Although she pretended to be calm, Qinger's eyes were still filled with fear of the unknown and confusion about her future.
Because Qing Ge Ge was Prince Yu's legitimate daughter, she had entered the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress before, so the Empress Dowager was quite familiar with Qinger.
Now that the Empress Dowager saw Qinger like this, her heart immediately ached.
She pulled Qinger and comforted her with a "kind" expression. As she spoke, she was on the verge of tears. In the end, everyone in the room comforted her instead.
When the Empress Dowager finally calmed down, she asked Siya and Lan Xin to take Qinger to the imperial garden.
They knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to discuss Qinger's future with the Emperor.
Qinger had heard about her future from her wet nurse before she entered the palace.
There was already a precedent of Princess Lan in the palace. Then, her "Qing Ge Ge", who was also the legitimate daughter and orphan of a prince like Princess Lan, should have a similar fate.
However, in the past few years, the Empress's health had been deteriorating. When Princess Lan entered the palace, the Thirteen Brothers hadn't been born yet, so the Empress's health hadn't completely deteriorated.
When the Noble Consort Jia passed away, Eleventh Brother was raised by the Empress Dowager.
In addition, the Empress Dowager already had two sons and two daughters, so she was almost certain that she wouldn't be raised by the Empress Dowager.
Now, the best home for her was to be raised by the Empress Dowager like Eleventh Brother.
If she was raised by the Empress Dowager, her status wouldn't be too far away from Princess Lan's.
And as long as she won the Empress Dowager's favor, the Empress Dowager would worry about her future.
When that time came, her future wouldn't be too difficult.
When the Empress Dowager heard that Qianlong wanted to give Qinger to Ling Fei, she immediately frowned.
"The Emperor is muddle-headed!"
Qianlong was a "filial son", so even when he heard the Empress Dowager call him muddle-headed, he didn't express any dissatisfaction and obediently listened to her.
"When the Emperor decided to give Qinger to Ling Fei, did he think of Lanxin?"
Looking at Qianlong's confused expression, the Empress Dowager sighed.
"Qinger and Lanxin are both legitimate daughters of a prince, and their Ah Ma both contributed greatly to the Qing Dynasty. After Lanxin's Ah Ma died on the battlefield, the Emperor brought Lanxin into the palace and placed her by the Empress Dowager's side. She's the Empress Dowager's adopted daughter. Now, Qinger has also been brought into the palace, but she's being raised by a concubine who was born in a secondary family. Compared to Lanxin, this difference — what do you want the officials and clan relatives to think? Those who don't know might think that you're dissatisfied with Prince Yu, so you gave his legitimate daughter to a concubine who was born in a secondary family to raise after his death. You're deliberately humiliating his daughter to express your dissatisfaction! "
After hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Qianlong also realized that he had almost done something stupid.
He immediately modestly expressed that he had done wrong.
Qianlong was an arrogant person. Although he admitted his mistake verbally, he didn't think that he was wrong in his heart. He only felt that he had been misled by Ling Fei previously.
Thinking of this, Qianlong had a lot of complaints about Ling Fei in his heart. He was a little dissatisfied.
When he thought of what Empress Dowager had said about Ling Fei's background, he suddenly felt that Ling Fei was indeed too unruly. She was petty, unpresentable, and ignorant.
However, seeing that she was usually obedient and gentle, it was okay to just pamper her.
However, Ling Fei could only be a "favored concubine".
"Empress Dowager, you're right. Your son is muddle-headed! It's just — what should we do with Qinger? Who should raise her? Empress Dowager's health is getting worse and worse, and she already has two sons and two daughters. It's really not suitable for her to raise Qinger. "
As he spoke, Qianlong talked about the concubines in his harem.
Apart from the position of Empress, the only concubine with a high status was Noble Consort Chun.
However, Noble Consort Chun was born in the Han Army. Her birth was not noble. Now that she was promoted to the position of Noble Consort, she relied entirely on her seniority. In addition, she was pregnant before, so her mother's status depended on her son.
Moreover, there was a big gap between the Empress and Noble Consort.
Therefore, Noble Consort Chun was not suitable to raise Qinger.
However, it seemed that there were no concubines in the harem who were suitable to raise Qinger.
"Ai — this Qinger will stay by Aijia's side!"
"Your son will have to trouble Empress Dowager again. Your son is really unfilial to have Empress Dowager worry about your son."
The Empress Dowager's words made Qianlong extremely "moved".
The Empress Dowager understood her son very well.
Don't look at how he was shrewd in court. When facing women, he didn't have the slightest bit of shrewdness from before.
When all was said and done, the Empress Dowager had walked out of the Prince of Yong's household. Afterwards, she had climbed up step by step in the harem to where she was now, pushing her son onto the throne. How could she truly be a benevolent old lady?
After hearing Qianlong's words, the Empress Dowager only thought for a moment and understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Since the death of the Noble Consort Jia, your concubine has been the most favored in the harem.
Previously, after Prince Yu passed away, the Emperor stayed with your concubine for a few days. In addition, now he wanted to raise Qinger by your concubine's side. It was self-evident what role your concubine played in this matter.
Humph —
This Empress was also useless. She had only given birth to a child, but she had already lost half of her life. So what if she was raising four children now? When she breathed her last breath, who knew who would benefit from these four children?
She was the Empress, but she could only hide in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility all day. Now, she actually let a "servant" who was born in the harem? She was really useless.
Your concubine also didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Some time ago, she wanted to help me "share my worries" and get involved in the power of the harem. She really deserved to die.
She was so arrogant that she didn't know what she was!
It seemed that it was time to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she would think that she could be lawless with the Emperor's favor.
A servant was a servant. She didn't have any rules and didn't know anything.
