Chapter 219 Princess
Huimin and Concubine Duan had a secret talk late at night and finally reached an agreement.
Xu's daughter is being raised by Concubine Duan, and Huimin will take the initiative to raise this matter to the emperor.
In exchange, Concubine Duan would keep her distance from Huimin and would provide assistance when necessary.
Of course, this is not a permanent solution. Huimin will arrange Xu to live in a palace not far from Yanqing Palace, which will also serve as a restraint on Concubine Duan.
At the same time, Nian Shilan will no longer embarrass Concubine Duan.
In fact, Huimin had asked Nian Shilan for her opinion on raising a princess before. Although Nian Shilan was a noble lady, the emperor felt guilty towards her. Given the abortion medicine and the Huanyi incense she had given him, the emperor would be willing to let Nian Shilan raise a princess.
But Nian Shilan refused.
"I don't want to raise someone else's child, let alone his child."
There was a hint of disgust on Nian Shilan's face.
"I used to try every possible means to have a child because I loved him and wanted to have a child with him. Now," Nian Shilan's face was full of disgust, "I have seen what he really is like. I no longer want to have a child with him."
"and……"
Nian Shilan looked at Huimin and said, "If I wanted to raise a princess, I could have raised Wen Yi with me. I don't want to raise someone else's child."
But as she said this, Nian Shilan's expression softened. She looked at Huimin and said:
"I know you're doing this for my sake, but everything else is fine. As soon as I think about this being his child, I think about what he did and I just feel sick."
"Besides, the child's biological mother will inevitably want something from me. The Nian family is already in this state, what else can I give? Besides, I don't want to get involved in the fight between these women anymore."
Seeing that Nian Shilan was gradually changing, Huimin did not try to persuade her anymore.
"Of course your wishes come first."
"I was thinking of raising a princess, so you could be a little comfort."
Nian Shilan laughed instead, "I don't have the temper to raise a child for another woman, so don't even think about giving the princess to me. If you have that in mind, you might as well let Hongxi come to my place more often."
Nian Shilan didn't know what she was thinking about and laughed happily.
"Don't say it, these kids are really different. Honghan and him, neither of them look like princes from the Forbidden City. Instead, they look like boys from military families. I used to follow my brother like this, just like them..."
As she was talking, Nian Shilan forced herself to stop recalling what happened in the Nian Mansion.
"They were running around like little monkeys every day. When I saw them that day, their bodies were covered with grass leaves..."
Suddenly, Nian Shilan stopped again and looked at Huimin suspiciously.
"You don't look like a frivolous person, who do you resemble?"
"But...it's possible that he learned it from Xia."
Nian Shilan seemed to be thinking about something. "Don't mention it. Xia Shi was stupid and domineering back then. But you were able to train her into what she is now. It's not easy for you."
As he spoke, Nian Shilan sighed.
"No wonder, no wonder the vicious queen was defeated by you, and Cao Qinmo, a black-hearted woman, could follow you wholeheartedly."
"Let's not talk about Xia Dongchun. She was stupid to begin with, so it's normal for her to be fooled. But An Shi, she used to look weak and aggrieved, and it was awkward to look at her. But you trained her into what she is today."
Nian Shilan shook her head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really not that simple. We all deserved to lose. I don't have your brain."
Hearing Nian Shilan say this, Huimin just smiled at her.
"That's not right. It's not that you lost. We are all in the same boat. If I can win, how can you lose?"
As she said this, Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.
"You are indeed good at winning people's hearts. You can make so many people obey you and follow you. I know why."
Huimin smiled faintly and said nothing. Nian Shilan called Songzhi over and said, "Add some tea to Concubine Xian."
What Nian Shilan didn't say was that she had indeed been conquered by this virtuous concubine, and was now willing to follow her.
What a virtuous concubine! What a virtuous concubine!
Nian Shilan felt emotional.
Since Nian Shilan was determined not to want the princess and Concubine Duan had made the decision, Huimin went to discuss the matter with Concubine Jing.
As the two imperial concubines assisting in managing the six palaces, Huimin and Jing were obliged to remind the emperor to arrange the whereabouts of the two princesses.
Concubine Jing didn't want to raise Yu's princess, and she also wanted to throw this hot potato away. She didn't want to be forced to have a daughter by the emperor in the end.
Longyue's biological mother is dead, and now Concubine Jing is her only mother.
But Yu is still here, and the way she is raised is different from the way Longyue was raised.
Moreover, having another daughter would inevitably divide my attention, and Longyue would always be neglected.
Concubine Jing had already made up her mind that Longyue was her only daughter and she would give her all her love.
Therefore, the destination of Yu’s child must be decided early.
When Huimin proposed to the emperor that Concubine Duan should adopt Concubine Xu's daughter, Concubine Jing was a little surprised.
But Concubine Jing just looked at Huimin in surprise and did not raise any objection.
Concubine Jing did not intend to offend this virtuous concubine who had two princes. After all, it was hard to say which prince would ascend the throne in the future. What if it was the Seventh Prince or the Tenth Prince?
It is better to establish good relations now and not offend each other.
Concubine Jing agreed easily and asked Huimin for her opinion.
Huimin only asked Concubine Jing to express her opinion.
Concubine Jing then mentioned Borjigit, a concubine in Zhongcui Palace, who had been in the palace for ten years. Although she had always been unknown, she was also a candidate for the princess's adoptive mother.
After a brief discussion, the two went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
The emperor was reviewing memorials, but when he heard that the two imperial concubines wanted to see him at the same time, he put down the government affairs he was doing.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yu promised will soon be one month old, and it's time to decide on the foster mothers for these two princesses."
Concubine Jing spoke first, and the emperor seemed to be thinking about something.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Concubine Jing raised her head slightly and looked at the emperor. "Most of the concubines above the rank of concubine in the palace already have children. I think we should consider those concubines without children more."
The emperor nodded.
"good."
Huimin also spoke at this time:
"Although there are many concubines in the palace who are qualified to raise princes and princesses, most of them already have children. Speaking of which, among the concubines, only Concubine Duan does not have a child. For the concubine position, Borjigit can also be considered..."
Huimin briefly mentioned it and then said:
"It's up to the Emperor to decide."
The emperor nodded slightly and thought for a moment.
"Concubine Duan has served me for many years. She is indeed a good choice to raise the princess."
The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Concubine Xu's daughter will be named Princess Jingle and raised by Concubine Duan."
As he spoke, the Emperor looked at Consort Jing and asked, "Is Princess Yu, whom you are taking care of, healthy?"
Concubine Jing hurriedly said:
"Yu is in good health, and the princess she gave birth to is also healthy."
The emperor nodded and said, "Then let Borjigit raise the promised princess and name her Princess Jingrou."
"She grew up on the grassland, so she's not that careful in raising a child. It's more appropriate to raise a healthy one."
