Chapter 177 Shen Meizhuang 47

After Nian Gengyao pacified the northwest, the emperor held a celebration banquet for all the generals in the Qianqing Palace.

Unlike the private celebration party held by the emperor, Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao as a family in the drama, this was a formal banquet held to celebrate the soldiers who fought in the northwest, attended by all the civil and military ministers, princes of the royal family, concubines of the harem and court ladies.

At the celebration banquet, Nian Gengyao was proud of his achievements and was very domineering. His words were full of dissatisfaction with the emperor. He had made great efforts for the emperor to ascend the throne, but after he ascended the throne, the emperor ignored his sister Nian Shilan.

The war in the northwest was only temporarily settled, and he would still be needed in the future. The emperor could not do without him, so Nian Gengyao was extremely unscrupulous.

Using a dish as an excuse, he asked Su Peisheng, who was standing next to the emperor, to pick up food for him.

In front of everyone, the emperor couldn't stand this tone, so he put down his jade chopsticks and asked coldly, "Why don't you let me pick up some food for you, General Nian?"

Concubine Hua on the opposite side was worried about her brother's arrogant behavior and kept winking at Nian Gengyao.

The emperor was furious and everyone was silent.

Nian Gengyao understood that the emperor was angry and wanted him to bow his head. He hid the anger in his eyes and had to stand up to apologize, "I have been fighting outside for a long time and forgot the rules of the palace."

The fact that he forgot the rules was false, but the fact that he reminded the emperor that he had been fighting outside was true.

At this point, Nian Gengyao still didn't know the consequences and used his military achievements to threaten the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a long time, calmed down his anger, and then replied, "You have fought for the court and pacified the northwest. You have indeed made great contributions, but you must not be proud of your achievements and despise the king!"

It directly defines Nian Gengyao's behavior as being arrogant and self-righteous and disrespectful to the emperor.

Now, the military achievements that Nian Gengyao had gained by fighting hard on the battlefield were greatly reduced.

At the same time, the emperor also told his ministers that he was dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao!

Nian Gengyao was so rude to the emperor, not to mention his colleagues. He looked down on others and most of the civil and military officials in the court were resentful of him.

……

After the banquet ended and the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace, he made up his mind that Nian Gengyao was too rampant and could not be kept.

But the most urgent thing for him is to find a good general first.

Among all the generals in the court, is Nian Gengyao really the only one who is good at fighting on the battlefield? Is he a useful person?

not necessarily.

It was just that the emperor was concerned that Nian Shilan was serving him at home and Nian Gengyao was fighting for him outside, and he was used to using him in military affairs, so it would be a bit troublesome to train new people when he first ascended the throne.

Now, by rummaging through the pile of military generals, several talented generals were found.

Gradually, Nian Gengyao discovered that he could no longer dominate the court.

Being obstructed at every turn, Nian Gengyao became more and more dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just rebel, right?

At this time, although Prince Dun was resentful of the emperor for imprisoning his ninth brother as soon as he ascended the throne, he now had his wife and children by his side and lived a comfortable life. Occasionally, when he was unhappy, he would make sarcastic remarks to the emperor, and the emperor could do nothing about it.

Now that Zhen Huan is dead, no one has suggested that his daughter be named "Princess Gongding" and stay in the palace to be raised by the Empress Dowager. In order to threaten him to be loyal to the Emperor, he has not yet developed any rebellious thoughts.

Therefore, without war, Nian Gengyao could only vent his dissatisfaction in the court. The more he made trouble, the more the emperor promoted other generals, and his power was further reduced.

What happens in the court has nothing to do with Shen Meizhuang, and the emperor will not tell her about it.

She took good care of her pregnancy and finally gave birth to her first child, a prince, in early November, on a snowy day. The emperor named him Hongyang.

(In ancient times, it was definitely more cost-effective to give birth to a boy, so the author arranged to give birth to a boy or twins, not because he loves boys)

When Hongyang was born, he was wrinkled all over, like an ugly old man, but the emperor and Shen Meizhuang loved him very much. They were delighted when they saw him and smiles appeared on their faces.

Shen Meizhuang was in confinement and needed to rest, but Hongyang was at an age where he was ignorant and could only cry. Caizhen wanted to take the little prince to the compartment, but Shen Meizhuang refused and could not leave him for a moment. Even the wet nurses had to feed him in front of her.

Perhaps knowing that his mother couldn't stand the noise, Hongyang became quiet as soon as he lay back next to Shen Meizhuang. He blinked his grape-sized eyes and looked around cunningly. In fact, he couldn't see anything, but he was still watching with relish. His little hand even stretched out in the direction of Shen Meizhuang, which made Shen Meizhuang and others very happy.

The emperor was also pleased with this scene. As soon as he came in, he could see his lovely wife and young children having fun and happiness.

During this confinement period, the emperor should not have met Shen Meizhuang, but the emperor wanted to see her. Their child was also with her, and the emperor missed the child too.

Finally, an exception was made for this mother and son.

This made the rest of the harem even more jealous.

Especially Yixiu.

After Shen Meizhuang gave birth to a prince, the emperor was very pleased and promoted her to Concubine Yi.

Yixiu's face looked unhappy at that time. When Shen Meizhuang revealed that she was pregnant, the emperor had already promoted her to concubine. Now that she had given birth to a prince, she was promoted to consort.

As a high-ranking concubine who was favored by the emperor, had a good family background, a title, and a prince, Yixiu could hardly maintain her usually kind expression.

She could only be thankful that Shen Meizhuang was of the Han army flag and not the Manchu army flag, otherwise she might have to give up the position of queen for Shen Meizhuang in the next second.

Yixiu could never tolerate someone making her sit on the phoenix chair and sway. Shen Meizhuang's child must die.
