Chapter 2429 Big Heart
Qiao Xuan just laughed it off and ordered them to instruct the eunuchs in charge and the aunts in charge to manage the people and matters in the palace according to the rules.
Don't worry about anything else.
But if someone breaks the rules, he should naturally be punished.
Qiao Xuan almost tacitly accepted the indulgent attitude, which made countless palace maids who thought they were somewhat pretty even more excited, and their "chance encounters" became more and more excessive.
As a result, one after another, some people were dragged away directly because they did not know the rules and offended the emperor. Some people did things that were not in accordance with the rules in order to dress up beautifully and find an opportunity to get close to the emperor. After being found out, they were beaten and sent to a deserted palace or a laundry department.
Qiao Xuan thought that this was at least a warning to others, right? Those who knew better would know when to stop.
Actually, no.
Those who have not been caught think that those who have been caught deserve it. They think it is not unfair for them to be punished for offending the emperor and breaking the rules of the palace. They are not that stupid.
Besides, if those people were pulled down, wouldn’t I lose a lot of competitors?
The competition among the beautiful palace maids became even more intense.
Qiao Xuan was speechless
Ding Xiang mocked: "It's a good thing that these people think so. The sooner we deal with them one by one, the easier it will be! The emperor has an empty harem, so can he look down on them? How dare you think so!"
You know, a few days ago, Shao Yunduan dealt with three people who pounced on him by chance in one day, and ordered everyone who watched to be beaten with a stick thirty times. He also issued an edict that if anyone else appeared in front of him without reason, he would not only be beaten with a stick thirty times, but would be beaten to death!
This scared people.
Afterwards, rumors started by unknown people were directed at Qiao Xuan, accusing the queen of being unvirtuous and not filling the emperor's harem with concubines.
Even worse, some privately accused the queen of being sinister and vicious, and hated to see anyone stand up to the emperor. She would deal with anyone who did so with various excuses.
The queen is narrow-minded and tries to monopolize the emperor's favor.
Shao Yunduan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. He rounded up all the people in the palace, beat them with sticks and imprisoned them in the palace. Everyone was silent and truly frightened.
The atmosphere has improved a little in the past few days.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the flower-viewing banquet. The palace gate became lively, and gorgeous carriages entered the palace one after another.
The ladies dressed up in their best clothes, got off the carriages after entering the palace gate, and headed towards the imperial garden under the guidance of the palace maids and eunuchs.
In the Xunyu Palace overlooking the water, it gradually became lively, and the ladies who came to the banquet chatted with each other in low voices.
The political power in Beijing overlaps, so it is safest to keep the door closed.
During this special period, no one dared to visit relatives and friends casually, let alone hold banquets at home. The ladies of various families have not gathered together for a long time. Today is a good opportunity to exchange news and views.
For a while, the conversation was quite lively.
When Mrs. Tian appeared with her two daughters-in-law and Tian Shanshan, many ladies and young ladies had already arrived. Everyone's eyes were on them, causing quite a commotion.
The grudges between the Tian family and the emperor and empress are really endless!
Now, she has become the emperor's relative.
I don't know what Madam Tian and Tian Shanshan will do when the Queen arrives.
Tian Shanshan acted as if nothing had happened, calm and composed as always, but her expression was a little cold.
