After hearing this, a wave of emotion finally appeared in her eyes.
The last time the envoy came was in April of the first year of Qianxing. At that time, the envoy came with the edict of Jin Feng Shunrong.
Before the Jin Dynasty granted Shunrong the title, her title was Wanyi, which was granted by the Jin Dynasty in September of the second year of Tianxi (1018).
In fact, Li Lanhui didn't care much about the Jinfeng issue.
What's the use of being promoted to the fourth concubine?
In this life, she is destined to be unknown. In fact, she is quite satisfied with her current life except that she cannot see her son.
The Queen Mother did not owe her anything.
I think back then, when she first entered the palace, she was just an ordinary palace servant. The only special thing was that she was serving Liu Meiren (Liu E), who was the most beloved in the harem.
During the Jingde period, Empress Guo passed away and the position of empress was vacant. The late emperor wanted to appoint Liu E as his queen, but Liu E came from a humble background and all the officials were opposed to this matter.
The way for a mother to honor the world was blocked. Of course Liu E didn't want to. She also wanted the mother to be more valuable than the child, but she had some physical problems and was unable to give birth.
Later, she thought of Li Lanhui.
At that time, among the palace ladies in Rufeng Pavilion, Li Lanhui was not the most beautiful, nor was she the most talkative. Her only advantage was that she did not fight for anything and had a calm temperament.
This point happened to be appreciated by Liu E.
Before the pregnancy-induced childbirth plan began, Liu E had a secret conversation with Li Lanhui and promised Li Lanhui that if she could give birth to a prince, she could ensure that the Li family would be rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives.
Why one life?
Because the next life is not Liu E's business, but the prince's own business.
Considering how favored Liu E was at the time, and the fact that Emperor Zhenzong was not having a successful heir at that time, once a prince was born, he would definitely be chosen as the heir apparent in the future.
Although Li was deprived of her status, the fact that she was the biological mother of the prince could not be changed.
As long as the prince can visit Dabao, will the Li family still lose money in the future?
That must not happen!
By then, the Li family will no longer be rich and famous for one lifetime, but will last for several generations!
Under the ancient patriarchal social system, whether it is a man or a woman, the weight of the family is very important.
Moreover, in order to reassure Li, Liu E also sent Liu Mei to find Li's long-lost brother, the future uncle-in-law Li Yonghe.
Being separated from her younger brother when she was young was a knot in Li's heart.
Liu E not only found Li Yonghe, but also found a job for Li Yonghe. It was said to be an errand, but in fact, he didn't have to do anything, he just got money.
Not only was his brother found, but he was also well clothed. Li Lanhui completely put aside his worries and agreed to Liu E's request.
Then, she was quickly promoted to the rank of Attendant.
(PS: The Imperial Attendant is a palace servant who specifically serves the emperor. Because the Imperial Attendant is also the palace servant who has the best chance of being favored, which is equivalent to the candidate for future concubines.
Once you are favored by the emperor, your rise to fame will be just around the corner. In the Northern Song Dynasty, many concubines started out as imperial servants.
In other words, the vast majority of women with insufficient family backgrounds take this path. Queens like Queen Guo and Queen Cao who come from well-known families basically start out as talented people and do not need to go through the stage of serving as imperial ministers.)
Not long after, Zhenzong stayed at Rufeng Pavilion one time. Zhenzong happened to drink some wine that night, and then under Liu E's arrangement, Li Lanhui was blessed.
(PS: The above is Xiaoxing’s personal speculation. Of course, it is definitely not unfounded speculation.
Historical data records that Li Lanhui took the opportunity to rise to power. However, is this possible?
As a maid in Liu E's pavilion, how dare she seduce the emperor without Liu E's nod?
If this is really the case, if the front foot is lucky, the back foot may be relegated to the cold palace.
Emperor, it is normal to unplug the ruthlessness. Even if you are lucky, it does not mean you can sit back and relax.
Therefore, when Li 'seduce' Zhenzong, it was probably Liu E's instruction, and then Zhenzong half-heartedly accepted her, and a young and beautiful beauty took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
And it was probably with Liu E’s acquiescence that the drunk Zhenzong could resist the temptation?)
As a result, Zhenzong fell in love and Li became pregnant with a dragon seed.
Being pregnant in ten months and giving birth to a prince was definitely a great achievement for the Song Dynasty at that time!
Liu E also relied on this skill to reach the sky in one step and became a mother in the world. After giving birth to the prince, the courtiers who disliked her humble background also shut their mouths.
The prince is the foundation of the country!
In front of Guo Ben, he has to stand aside for any reason.
Although Li Lanhui's credit was taken by Liu E, although Li Lanhui was shaken the moment she saw the child.
But with an appointment ahead of her, Li Lanhui could only suppress those unwanted desires.
"What's the matter?"
After a while, Li Lanhui got up from the couch and put on a thick winter coat by herself.
"An envoy came and said that the Queen Mother had issued a decree."
Does the Queen Mother have a purpose?
Hearing this, Li Lanhui immediately sped up her dressing speed, and not long after, she packed up her appearance and stepped out of the room.
As soon as the door opened, she saw a chambermaid in her thirties standing in the courtyard.
Huh?
It turned out to be a high-ranking chamberlain delivering the edict?
That gray-blue robe cannot be worn by everyone, only high-ranking eunuchs can wear it.
The person who came to deliver the edict this time was none other than Ren Shouzhong, a popular figure around the Queen Mother.
"Join Li Shunrong."
As soon as he saw Li Lanhui appear, Ren Shouzhong immediately bowed respectfully.
As a close minister of the Queen Mother, although Ren Shouzhong didn't know what happened in the palace yesterday, the fact that this decree could be spread is enough to explain everything.
Seeing this, Li Lanhui quickly said politely.
"The envoy is too polite."
"It should."
After Ren Shouzhong stood up, he shook his head, then with a stern look on his face, he reached out and motioned to the small yellow door beside him to deliver the edict.
"Pass the edict!"
"Zhongshu!
Shunrong Li, the daughter of Rende, the king of Zuoban Palace, has a righteous family tradition, is gentle in appearance, has a quiet nature, is preparing for the post in the back court, and has the title of Shuyi.
The order was given to Shuyi Li's father, Zuo Ban Dianzhi Wang Rende, that is to say, in addition to Chongyi envoy, Rongzhou governor, his mother Zhang was specially granted the title of Huayuan County monarch."
'this……'
After hearing the contents of the edict, Li Lanhui felt a loud bang, and her mind suddenly went blank.
The concubine's title (according to her official status, her father's generation, mother's generation and the three generations above) are customized by the country and the dynasty.
Generally speaking, the empress dowager, empress dowager, and empress can be granted posthumous titles to three generations of their mothers. Although their concubines can also be posthumously granted titles to three generations, the titles can only be granted to 'county queens'.
But now, his mother has been posthumously named the 'Huayuan County Lord', which is a title that only concubines can enjoy.
Surprise, no, shock came too suddenly!
For a moment, Li Lanhui really couldn't accept it.
When the official ascended the throne, she seemed to have been promoted once, and now, less than a year later, she was promoted again. Although her rank has not changed, and she is still from the first rank, this is too frequent.
Finally, her parents also received new posthumous titles.
What does the Queen Mother want to do?
The addition of Glory did not make Li Lanhui happy, but made her more cautious, walking on thin ice.
