"This Mahjong competition has come to a successful conclusion. I am very satisfied. This is also the happiest birthday I have ever had..."

"More importantly, I am very pleased to see that the harem is so peaceful. The Queen has worked very hard. I think the greatest credit this time should belong to the Queen!"

Liu Xian changed the subject and looked at the Queen...

However, it is also reasonable and there is naturally no objection to the fact that the queen has made the greatest contribution.

"Your Majesty, this is all my duty. I dare not take credit for it!"

"Queen, you don't have to be humble. As long as you have made contributions, I will never be stingy with rewards."

Liu Xian waved his hand, and then continued loudly: "The queen is virtuous and generous, so I should reward her even more. Listen to my order, reward the queen..."

"One thousand rolls of silk, two hundred kilograms of silver thread hangings from foreign countries, a pair of bright yellow ruyi, jade articles..."

In short, not stingy at all!

Although they were all precious treasures, they could demonstrate the emperor's grace and were sufficient to illustrate Empress Xiao's contribution.

However, having said that, Empress Xiao's status and position have already reached the highest level, and it seems that there is nothing else to reward her except these.

As they were talking, Queen Xiao was about to express her gratitude, but Liu Xian excused her on the grounds of poor health.

"Of course, the reason why this Mahjong tournament was so successful is that Xiaobangzi also played an indispensable role. Since he saved the day and solved the smallpox problem last time, he has been working diligently and conscientiously, and he has never been proud of himself. This loyalty is really precious."

"Little stick, listen to my orders!"

"The servant is here."

Upon hearing the voice, Xing Bang hurried to the steps, knelt down and listened to the emperor's order. He thought that this time he would probably be given a huge reward. If it was just an ordinary reward, in front of everyone, could you, as an emperor, afford to humiliate this person?

"From now on, you will be the acting Shaofu and take good care of my internal affairs."

"Your Majesty, how can I be worthy of such an important task? Please take back your order. I dare not do that!"

Good job!

The Shaofu is the first rank official. This is quite a big jump, eight levels in a row.

What's more, the Shaofu can be said to be the first among the Nine Ministers, and there is really no precedent for a eunuch to hold this position.

Although Xing Bang really wanted to do it, he still followed the rules and declined with fear and trepidation!

Anyway, it’s all routine, and I can’t quit it…

"I know that some people will be dissatisfied and oppose, but what I want to say is that as long as they are loyal to me and have made contributions to the court, I will be unconventional and bold in employing them!"

Those present were all from the harem, and they would not say anything even if they objected in their hearts. The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince were their own people, and there would definitely be ministers in the court who would give advice, but Liu Xian's meaning was very clear, that was to make the final decision.

The reason for saying this is that it is intended to intimidate the harem.

"So, little Korean, you don't have to worry too much, this position of Shaofu belongs to you!"

"I obey your command. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Xing Bang had nothing more to say, and Liu Xian was almost about to say that he had the support of the emperor.

"Okay, get up."

Liu Xian nodded, and Xing Bang returned to stand behind him.

"I have already said that those who achieve good results in this Mahjong competition will be greatly rewarded..."

Having said this, Liu Xian paused, his expression somewhat embarrassed. Everyone knew that this was a matter concerning Madam Fanghua, and it might be difficult to draw a conclusion.

"Fanghua, I congratulate you first. I never thought that you could win the championship after overcoming all the difficulties."

"It can be said that I have lived up to the prince's enthusiasm!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Madam Fanghua naturally couldn't say much, and she didn't mention the reward.

Of course, Liu Xian's bland words also made the concubines who were paying attention to this matter confused. It is conceivable that if Madam Fanghua could return to the palace, the structure of the harem would change.

One is the queen who is the head of the harem, and the other is the mother of the crown prince who is second only to the queen...

However, things are definitely not that simple. For smart people, Liu Xian's intentions can still be traced.

At the very least, Queen Xiao must have known something about it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect it either. However, Fanghua's ability to astonish everyone shows that she is extremely serious and attentive to Your Majesty's will. It is indeed worthy of our learning and admiration!"

Obviously, Empress Xiao understood that Liu Xian might not want to mention the reward for Madam Fanghua, but he did not say no reward either, so she did not mention the reward either. However, anyone with a discerning eye could understand the meaning behind her words.

"The Queen is right!"

"I can understand the Queen's generosity. It is understandable that she should be rewarded generously, but I really don't know how to reward her for the time being!"

Although Liu Xian's words were not very clear, anyone could guess what he was worried about.

Perhaps, he deliberately did not want to say it clearly and did not want to state that Madam Fanghua was a criminal.

"Your Majesty has granted me the permission to attend this birthday celebration. Fanghua is already extremely grateful and would never dare to expect any reward!"

Madam Fanghua politely declined. In fact, she was really focused and didn't care about these things at all.

"Fanghua, there's no need to do this, you should get up first!"

"I also understand that you should be satisfied, so let's do this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Madam Fanghua returned to her original position.

"Your Majesty, I..."

As she spoke, Madam Yu was about to stand up.

However, Liu Xian directly signaled her not to move, and then said: "Madam Yu, I know what you want to say, but I have already said what I should say. It is settled, so please do not say anything more."

Empress Xiao glanced at Liu Xian and saw that Madam Yu did not stand up. She frowned slightly, as if she understood something, but did not say anything.

Liu Xian smiled slightly and continued to say loudly: "Young Envoy Wan won the second place this time, which is really rare!"

"In this way, I will give Young Master Wan two hundred ounces of gold, one hundred rolls of silk and satin, and ten pairs of ceramics and jade."

"Also, from now on, you will be promoted to the eighth son and live in the Green Palace."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines in the audience cheered...

They are obviously envious, jealous and resentful, especially those of lower status, who all regret that they should have worked harder to practice mahjong.

The fact that she jumped two levels directly was enough to make others envious, and the fact that the Green Palace was given to her was simply amazing.

That is a treatment only enjoyed by good men and above!

At the same time, many concubines began to re-examine Wan Yanran in their hearts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Wan Yanran gladly accepted the reward. Empresses and ministers were different, so there was no false politeness.

However, Wan Yanran was not happy and was naturally extremely reluctant. It was not as comfortable as the Jade Pavilion. Although the Green Palace was outside the six palaces, it was considered the CBD of the imperial palace, so naturally the transportation was not as convenient as before.

After Wan Yanran returned to her original position, Madam Yu stood up and walked straight to the middle, kneeling on the ground.

"Madam Yu, what are you doing?"

Liu Xian looked surprised and puzzled.

Madam Yu raised her head and said sternly, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Even if you punish me, I will say it!"

Liu Xian hesitated a little, sighed, and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it..."
