章節 360: Chapter 360 Kidnapping for Blackmail (4)

"Oh, rank? My beloved consort, be at ease. Today, I will bestow upon you the title of First-Rank Consort Hui, and once you give birth to a prince, I will promote you to Noble Consort,"

Consort Lian never expected happiness to come so abruptly. Her eyes widened in disbelief, "Your Majesty, how could this consort possibly deserve such honor...!"

"Hush... if I say you are worthy, then you are,"

"Thank you for Your Majesty's mercy," a sweet smile spread across her lips.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Consort Hui's health improved. Having received the Emperor's permission, she was allowed to invite her family into the palace for a visit.

Her father Xiu Aotian, her mother Lady Xiu, and her elder brother Xiu Bingxi received the imperial edict the day before. Early the next morning, they quickly packed and brought along their wives and sons to ride the horse carriage into the palace to see Consort Hui.
