Chapter 1217 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 141
With Suolentzhuo leading people to present dishes to the Cining Palace, the new emperor had no choice but to go to the Cining Palace.
Jiang Xinxin had no emotion when she saw the new emperor. She grabbed him and asked directly, "What do you think about the division of the harem? Those women in your palace are getting impatient and have come directly to the Cining Palace."
The new emperor was full of vigor and vitality outside, but he seemed a little childish in front of Jiang Xinxin, "Empress Dowager, you don't know, Nianqin is jumping up and down to fight for a good position for Niuhulu, and others have been using all kinds of trivial matters to test my depth, which is really annoying."
Jiang Xinxin couldn't help laughing when she saw him acting like a primary school student telling his parents off, but she still gave him some advice: "Just follow your ideas. You have to fight for the initiative. Besides, they are just testing your bottom line. As long as you are a little tougher, they will understand."
The new emperor also understood this principle, but when the time came, he was really not used to meeting this old fox who seemed respectful and easy to manipulate but was actually difficult to deal with.
"My Queen Mother, what do you think about the division of the harem?"
Jiang Xinxin praised: "It's good that you did this. It shows that you are firm in your attitude and gives those people something to do. It lets them know that you are not easy to mess with. It will be much easier to do many things in the future."
How could it be necessary for Jiang Xinxin to teach Qianlong how to do these things? Although he was not a direct admission student in real history, Big Fat Orange had never relaxed his training since he paid more attention to him.
He just didn't have the big fat orange guy to help him hold on for the time being. Even if he could take on everything at once, he would still feel tired and wanted to find a safe place to rest and relax.
Jiang Xinxin understood this, but she had wanted to return to the Old Summer Palace for a long time, but had to stay in the palace due to the rules and Emperor Qianlong's face. She felt uncomfortable, so how could she possibly say something to comfort him? Not being angry directly was already giving face to the new emperor.
Qianlong, who had asked for trouble, quickly got down to business: "The Empress can only be the Consort, without a doubt. As for the two Consorts, since they have not given birth to any children yet, I think it would be best to give them the title of Consort."
"In addition, Fucha and Gao have been with my son the longest. They were innocent victims and cannot have children, so they are given the position of concubines and titles."
"The other is Su, who gave birth to two princes. Although her family background is really low, she at least represents the face of Jiangnan. It would be fine to give her a concubine title."
"As for the rest of you, my son wants to make them nobles together, and then consider promotion after they have children."
Jiang Xinxin really had no objection, as Qianlong had already taken all aspects into consideration.
But after the ceremony of conferring the title of the queen, she brought over a list of concubines with a new concubine, Jin. Jiang Xinxin asked directly, "What's going on with this Jin? Did she find out she's pregnant?"
The queen immediately felt something was wrong, but now she could only bite the bullet and explain, "Jiapin Jin was born in the Yu clan. When the late emperor was alive, she was given to the emperor as a princess along with Su, Chen, and Haijia. Now she is not pregnant, and it was my daughter-in-law who wanted to use Yu and took the initiative to raise Jin's position."
Jiang Xinxin didn't have any opinion on these, she just responded casually to show that she knew, but the queen was as if she was facing a great enemy, and even regretted acting on her own, "If the empress doesn't like Jin, your daughter-in-law will listen to you in everything."
Jiang Xinxin was really speechless, so she scolded: "I saw you behaved in a very orderly manner before, how come you suddenly let your tracks slip?"
"Today, I really want to know what benefits this Jin promised you that made you so confused that you came to embarrass me!"
The queen knelt down and apologized: "Please calm down, my queen. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault."
"My daughter-in-law really considered that the Qing Dynasty would use military force against Russia in the Northeast, and Yu Shi would have to contribute, so she promoted Jin Shi to a concubine."
Jiang Xinxin waited for a while before giving Jianqiu a wink. Jianqiu stepped forward to help the queen up, but she didn't dare to sit down. She just stood aside and continued listening.
Jiang Xinxin said earnestly, "As the saying goes, people of a higher state do not worship the ruler of a lower state. The Yu clan is just a small tribe under the jurisdiction of the Joseon Dynasty. Although the leader is called the king, he has never been officially crowned. The court promoted the Yu clan to check and balance the Joseon Dynasty. You are the mother of the Qing Dynasty after all. You don't even take the leader of the Yu clan seriously. How can you respect the Jin clan so much?"
"I don't care whether you really made a mistake today or whether you are testing me. Anyway, this Jin is not fit to be the head of a palace."
"Let me ask you, has this list been shown to the Emperor?"
At this moment, the queen really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, so that all these unbearable memories would disappear...
Jiang Xinxin was really worried about the Queen's condition. She had forgotten what Yi syndrome was, but she always felt that the Queen's changes were too fast and too sudden. It was impossible for a person to suddenly lose his brain and his IQ one day, not to mention that nothing special happened around the Queen.
As a being whose existence itself is unscientific, it is really hard for Jiang Xinxin not to think about something special. "Has anything happened to you recently that is different from before? Especially your diet and daily life, is there any sudden change?"
After being reminded by Jiang Xinxin, the Queen immediately started to think of conspiracy theories. Her mind was working quickly, and the senior palace maid Lianxin who was following her also quickly helped to recall the past.
Kunning Palace was still under renovation, so the Queen moved into Jingren Palace at Jiang Xinxin's order. Every brick, tile, grass and tree in Jingren Palace had been taken care of by Dapangju's sticky point, so in principle nothing could go wrong, but Jiang Xinxin had lived in Yuanmingyuan most of the time in recent years.
Jiang Xinxin made the decision directly: "Please ask the imperial physician to go to Jingren Palace for a careful examination. Queen, you can't suddenly act like you have no brains. Maybe you have been plotted against."
The queen didn't care about anything else and directly agreed to Jiang Xinxin's proposal. Now she even wished that she had been plotted against, otherwise her actions today would not only be unacceptable in the Cining Palace, but also in the Qianqing Palace. She didn't want her newly acquired position as queen to be shaken like this.
The empress was not qualified to directly instruct the imperial physician to do anything. Jianqiu accompanied the empress to the Qianqing Palace to help the empress save face and also to tell Qianlong that no matter what the truth of this matter was, it could be used to make a big fuss.
Like Jiang Xinxin, Qianlong first suspected that the Queen had a brain problem, and then started a conspiracy theory. He decisively agreed to Jiang Xinxin's suggestion to ask the imperial physician to check the Jingren Palace. The result was indeed as Jiang Xinxin and Qianlong expected. It was good for the Queen, but not good for the bondservants of the Imperial Household Department.
Because there was really a problem with Jingren Palace.
