Chapter 725: 864: Conferring the Title of Concubine

"Zhongsu."

Xia Zhining's hand caressing her pregnant belly paused slightly, her quiet eyes under her brows full of surprise.

The posthumous title Zhongsu is a very high posthumous title.

Moreover, as biological daughters, none of them thought of giving their late father a posthumous title, but Chen Mo did.

Xia Zhiqing had unconcealable excitement on her face, and her mood was extremely bright. Her round and round voice was a little gentle, and she said: "Zhining, what did I say before? How could His Majesty treat us badly? In His Majesty's heart, We must occupy an extremely important position, otherwise how could we take the initiative to give my father a posthumous title without asking for it? It must be for our sake."

As Xia Zhiqing spoke, her voice was obviously trembling due to the excitement of her emotions, and she said: "Zhining, you can't talk about His Majesty again in the future. If Father Quanxia knows about it, he will definitely be extremely happy."

Xia Zhining was also enveloped in surprise, her clear eyes filled with joy, and she said arrogantly: "He has done a good thing this time, and we sisters will devote ourselves to him and give birth to children for him."

At the end of the sentence, Xia Zhining blushed and said softly: "No big deal, I'll let her do something wrong again."

Xia Zhiqing also spoke very cheerfully: "Your Majesty is very kind to us."

Xia Zhining no longer complained about Chen Mo in her heart. At this moment, even if she, like Xu Ying and others, was canonized as a concubine, she would not say anything.

Xia Zhining felt extremely comfortable, feeling that the hardships she had endured during the past few months of pregnancy were not in vain.

While the two sisters were joking, the maid serving Xia Zhining walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Madam, Eunuch Jia is here."

Jia Yin, the ceremonial eunuch and eunuch in charge of printing, followed Chen Mo and helped the ink grinder.

Although it has only been more than a day since Chen Mo ascended the throne, Xia Zhiqing still has a general understanding of some of the main people in the palace.

"Please come quickly." Xia Zhining said.

Soon, Jia Yin came in with a young eunuch. The young eunuch also carried a tray with some gold and silver jewelry such as phoenix tassels and jade ruyi on it. It looked like rewards.

"I have met the Concubine Xian and the Concubine Virtue." Jia Yin bowed to Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining in turn, with a very respectful attitude.

Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining were both stunned when they heard this.

Jia Yin took out the imperial edict.

Xia Zhiqing quickly stood up and wanted to help Xia Zhining out of bed to receive the order, but Jia Yin smiled and said: "Your Majesty said, the two empresses can receive the order cheaply without having to salute."

In this way, Xia Zhiqing stopped supporting her sister and let her continue to lie down.

Jia Yin said respectfully: "By decree of the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Xia Zhiqing of the Erxia family is intelligent, talented and virtuous.

When Xia Zhiqing heard this, her snow-skinned face suddenly changed. It was one of surprise, and then she felt overjoyed.

The levels of concubines in the harem are divided into queens, concubines, concubines, married women, and seventy-two beauties.

At the concubine level, the noble concubines, Shu concubines, virtuous concubines and virtuous concubines have the most noble status, second only to the queen.

Especially the golden hairpin with phoenix tassels as a reward. Just the word "phoenix" tells its nobility, and the owner symbolizes his status which is even more extraordinary.

The phoenix tassel is often only qualified to be worn by queens and concubines.

Giving it to her now shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to her.

Xia Zhiqing's eyebrows were filled with joy.

Jia Yin continued to read: "Xia Zhining of the Erxia family has a good moral character and a graceful appearance... She canonize her as a virtuous concubine and give her a pair of Ruyi jade, ten pieces of silk and satin, and a Qingluan jade hairpin. I admire this."

"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness." The two sisters said in unison.

"Congratulations to both ladies." Jia Yin asked the young eunuch to put down his things, then stepped back to resume his duties.

Until Jia Yin left the palace, the two sisters were still immersed in deep surprise.

A slight blush appeared on Xia Zhining's snowy cheeks, which was caused by excitement. She said in a trembling voice: "Sister, did I hear you right? I was canonized as a virtuous concubine?"

"Zhining, the imperial edict is right here. Look, it's stamped with a seal. How can it be false?" Xia Zhiqing said with joy.

Of the two sisters, one was named a virtuous concubine and the other was a virtuous concubine. What a blessing this was.

"Sister, I will never talk about him again. He, I will let him play whatever tricks he wants." Xia Zhining bit her pink lips and said shyly.

That person actually gave her such a big surprise.

…

other side.

Han Aniang was made a noble concubine.

Yi Shiyan was named Concubine Shu.

Xiao Yunxi is the concubine Yi.

Xiao Ya is Rufei.

Song Min is the concubine Zhen.

The moon is like smoke as the concubine Zhuang.

Nangong Ru is the concubine of Yuan Dynasty.

Chu Juan is the concubine Xi.

Ning Wan is Concubine Wen.

Liang Xue is Concubine Wan.

Chu Ran is Concubine Jing.

Yang Qingqing is the concubine Zhao.

Lin Xuelan is Concubine Shu.

Xingyao is a good concubine.

Jade beads are fragrant concubines.

Wu Mi is naturally the queen of a country. This is a national event, and a separate canonization ceremony needs to be held to announce it to the world.

…

A corridor in the palace.

Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren walked side by side. The palace maids and eunuchs were three feet away from the two and slowly followed behind.

"Congratulations, Imperial Master Nalan." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I've worked like a slave for you, what's there to congratulate?" Nalan Yiren curled her lips, tilted her head to look at Chen Mo, and said, "How do you feel about being the emperor for a day? Is it very enjoyable?"

"I haven't felt it yet. I'm very busy, reviewing endless memorials. It's hard to squeeze out time to meet you. I'm taking a break from my busy schedule." Chen Mo said with a smile.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a crown on his head, and a resolute face, with extraordinary majesty.

However, Chen Mo didn't like the yellow dragon robe very much. He told Jia Yin to change it to black, but today is only the second day after all, it will definitely not be so fast.

"Then I feel very honored." Nalan Yiren said in a clear voice.

"No. Miss Nalan can be the national teacher of my Great Wei, I should feel honored." Chen Mo said as he walked.

Nalan Yiren was wearing a blue forged vest with embroidery. It was a collarless, sleeveless, and shorter top. The embroidery was made of brocade doubled into thin strips. On the edge of the vest, she wore a blue coat, revealing a bit of her slender waist.

Nalan Yiren noticed Chen Mo's gaze, but didn't say anything. She just said, "Aren't you going to take me to where I live? This direction is not right."

Nalan Yiren noticed that this direction was obviously heading towards the harem.

"Yes, it's this direction." Chen Mo said seriously with his hands behind his back.

"I only agreed to be the national teacher of the Great Wei, not the concubines in your harem. If you dare to touch me, I...I...I will make you suffer."

As if she thought of something else, Nalan Yiren tilted her head and glared at Chen Mo, saying.

Chen Mo smiled and said nothing.

Not long after, Chen Mo took Nalan Yiren to an attic.

"Stargazing Tower." Nalan Yiren looked at the plaque above, then turned her gaze to Chen Mo and said, "What is this place?"

"It's written on the plaque, isn't it? It's the place to watch the stars at night. It's near the back garden and not far from my bedroom. The most important thing is that it's on the edge of the back garden, so it's private and quiet, just right for you to live in."

Chen Mo said, without giving Nalan Yiren a chance to refuse, and took her cool, ice-white hand and walked towards the Stargazing Tower.

Nalan Yiren's body trembled slightly, and before she could react, she was pulled into the attic by Chen Mo.

Just when she was about to pull her hand away in anger, Chen Mo took the initiative to let go of her hand, interrupted her casting behind, and said, "Take a look, do you like it?"

Nalan Yiren looked in the direction Chen Mo pointed, and then her expression was startled.

The walls around were covered with green vines, and there were extremely colorful flowers growing on the vines. In the corners of the house, there were pots of flowers and plants.

Nalan Yiren recognized them at a glance. They were all poisonous flowers and plants, and they obviously did not belong to the Song Dynasty.

Nalan Yiren looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"The previous dynasty traded with you Baiyue. There are many merchants from Baiyue in the capital. I asked people to buy these things from them. I put them here in the hope that you can find the taste of your hometown and have some sense of belonging." Chen Mo smiled.

Nalan Yiren just looked at Chen Mo without saying anything.

"Come on, I'll take you to the second floor." As he said, Chen Mo took the stairs next to him and walked to the second floor first.

As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he smelled a faint fishy smell and a strange sound of "hissing and sizzling".

The second floor was almost full of bamboo cages, which were filled with poisonous creatures such as snakes and scorpions.

"I saw that you didn't bring anything this time, so I asked someone to catch some poisonous snakes and scorpions for you to study." Chen Mo smiled and said, "After I leave, you can release them. I believe you can train them well."

Nalan Yiren's eyes flickered, and she stared at Chen Mo in a daze.

"Why, are you moved by me and want to marry me?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Mo joked.

Nalan Yiren was speechless and even wanted to hit someone, saying, "Do you want to swell your mouth again?"

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you." Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand, changing the subject, saying, "I'll take you to see where I live upstairs. The location upstairs is very good. Not only can you see the stars at night, you can even see the lights of a large area of ​​harem."

As he said, he walked quickly upstairs.

Looking at Chen Mo's back as he quickly fled, Nalan Yiren's mouth curled up a slight smile.

To be honest, seeing the things on the first and second floors, she felt warm in her heart and could feel Chen Mo's intentions for her.

And this hazy and ambiguous feeling is exactly what she wants most.

The things on the third floor are very simple.

There is only a bed, a dressing table, and a stool.

There is a skylight above the head, which is opened by a built-in mechanism.

It has a balcony.

"Take a look, if there is anything missing, just tell me." Chen Mo looked around and said.

"I can't tell you now, I'll tell you when I think of something."

"Okay, I'll arrange two people to accompany you later, and tell them if you need anything."

Seeing her say this, Chen Mo knew that she was satisfied with the place he arranged for her.

"Thank you." Nalan Yiren said.

"Then how do you plan to thank me?"

Chen Mo came up.

Nalan Yiren's face was slightly cold, and when she raised her hand, colorful smoke emerged from her palm.

Chen Mo stepped back.

Nalan Yiren took back the colorful smoke.

But just as she was about to take it back, Chen Mo quickly approached, put one hand around Nalan Yiren's slender waist, lowered his head and leaned forward, and began to kiss.

"Woo woo."

Nalan Yiren's eyes widened, and the familiar feeling invaded her mouth, making her slightly absent-minded.

When she reacted and wanted to teach Chen Mo a lesson like last time, the latter had already pulled away and quickly went downstairs, leaving only one sentence: "Remember to apply lipstick next time, otherwise it will be tasteless."

Chen Mo remembered the lesson from last time and did not take advantage too much. He left after the kiss.

Nalan Yiren stamped her feet in anger, and her sickly white face became red like clouds.

...

In the evening, Chen Mo went to Shoukang Palace.

On a midsummer night, the bright moon was as bright as silver, and the moonlight was like a silk thread, shining through the window on the red lacquer long table in the bedroom.

Behind the screen in the inner hall, little Chen Qin sat in a wooden basin, stirring the warm water in the basin with his little hands, laughing.

Some water splashed on Liang Ji who was bathing him. Liang Ji pretended to be angry and said, "Qin'er, don't move, or your mother will be angry."

The child who was only a few months old didn't know anything, and he was still babbling.

Just then, the palace maid came in, stopped behind the screen, and said, "Miss, the emperor is here."

This palace maid was of course from the Liang family.

"Here he comes, do you want me to go and greet him?" Liang Ji was angry.

"As soon as I came in, I heard Yoyo was angry. What did I do to offend you?"

"Your Majesty."

"You go down first."

"Yes."

Chen Mo walked around the screen and appeared in Liang Ji's eyes.

Liang Ji snorted coldly, ignored him, picked up the little Chen Qin who had just taken a bath from the wooden basin, put him on the carpet next to him, and wiped him with a dry towel.

"Qin'er, come, father hold you." Seeing that Liang Ji ignored him, Chen Mo squatted down to hold Chen Qin.

Liang Ji raised her hand and slapped Chen Mo's hand away, saying, "Don't touch my son."

Chen Mo: "..."

After wiping off the water stains, Liang Ji wrapped Chen Qin in a small quilt, and then called in the wet nurse that Chen Mo had arranged to enter the palace some time ago from the outer hall, and asked her to take Chen Qin down to feed him.

After Chen Mo saw the child being taken down, he stepped forward and hugged Liang Ji's waist, saying, "Hey, what's wrong with you again?"

Liang Ji symbolically resisted for a while. If she was really angry, she would not give Chen Mo a chance to be alone. She said coquettishly, "What do you mean? All the concubines in your original mansion were made concubines by you, and even the woman in the Tongque Tower was made a concubine by you. I gave birth to a son for you anyway, but until now, I have gained nothing.

Why, now that you have become the emperor, you still want me to follow you unclearly?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo understood that she was angry about this.

He raised his hand and patted her hips, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's only been a day, and I haven't arranged some things yet. I won't treat you unfairly."
