After Zhao Zhong left, Bai Lan stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the Emperor doing?"
Queen Wang interrupted her and said that she needed to calm down now.
Guo Xiner isn't considered top-notch in appearance, but the emperor protects her so much. Is it because she's pregnant with the dragon fetus?
Since Xiao Hanyi ascended the throne, there has been no prince or princess in the palace. Perhaps he wants to have another child too much?
He is so nervous. Could it be that the current princes are not worthy of his eyes and he wants to have a new one?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Xiao Hanyi's reaction was overreacting.
In the end, Queen Wang concluded that the emperor had given up on the current prince and wanted to train a new one.
This is absolutely not possible.
She married the emperor at a young age, but ended up making wedding dresses for others. It was unbearable.
"Bai Lan, open the warehouse, pick out some good things, and send them to Guo. I congratulate her on her promotion," said Queen Wang.
Although she was feeling restless inside, she couldn't show it. Since Guo was in favor now, she would add fuel to the fire and let her make a good scene.
Bai Lan understood and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Concubine Heng is going to make a fuss."
"If you give some more gifts to Concubine Xian, just tell her that I know she has been wronged and that I am on her side."
This virtuous concubine is sometimes also a good swordsman.
"Then the virtuous concubine will definitely understand the Majesty's intentions, and she will know how to be filial to the Majesty in the future," Bai Lan replied.
Queen Wang thought for a moment and said, "Go and call Hui'er over."
Bai Lan responded with “yes”.
After a while, the eldest prince Xiao Conghui arrived. He was handsome and elegant, but there was a bit of Xiao Hanyi's ruthlessness in his eyes. Standing in the crowd, he had an aura of wealth and nobility, which made people dare not approach him casually.
He is fifteen years old and has not yet married. The nobles who are eyeing the eldest prince's wife are all watching with eager eyes, wondering when he will choose a concubine.
"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother," Xiao Conghui saluted.
Seeing the eldest prince, Queen Wang finally showed a real smile on her face, "The ground is cold, get up quickly"
"I called you here today because I have something to tell you. Your father has just promoted Concubine Guo to Imperial Concubine," Queen Wang said slowly, "and the new Imperial Concubine Guo is five months pregnant."
Xiao Conghui understood what was going on. There were ancestral rules for the promotion of concubines in the palace. This was too much of an exception, so there must be a reason behind it.
Could it be? Is it for the baby in her belly?
Queen Wang continued, "The situation is unclear at the moment, so let's not act rashly."
Xiao Conghui listened carefully and started to think about it.
"Let's go to Weiyang Palace with mother. We still have to keep up appearances." Queen Wang took the eldest prince's hand and was about to walk out.
The eldest prince paused, frowned, and said, "Mother, if we go together, will Father be unhappy?"
The last time he went to pay his respects to Xiao Hanyi with Queen Wang, he was scolded by Xiao Hanyi, who said he was a fool who hid under his mother's wings. He was a little scared for going with him.
Queen Wang smiled and said, "Let Concubine Heng and the Second Prince go as well."
The Second Prince inherited Concubine Heng's temper. How could he bear it? It was almost certain that he would cause a big commotion in the Weiyang Palace.
She just wanted the emperor to compare and see who had the demeanor of a ruler.
Xiao Conghui understood instantly, very good.
In the Weiyang Palace.
Guo Xiner was still immersed in the joy of being conferred the title of Imperial Concubine. To be honest, she was a little uncomfortable with it.
Xiao Hanyi was reviewing memorials when he suddenly thought, since the little guy knew so much, why not let him participate in state affairs.
The situation in the court is chaotic and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Having this little guy around saves us a lot of trouble.
He glanced at the hall and suddenly remembered that the eunuch Zhao Fulai beside him had been thrown into the torture chamber by him, so he had to find another one.
Zhao Zhong was very active, and he wanted to let Zhao Zhong take over directly. To be safe, he decided to ask first.
"Hey, I need a chief eunuch by my side. Zhao Zhong, Li Lai, who do you think is suitable?" Xiao Hanyi asked.
Let them answer it themselves first.
Tyrant Daddy, that's of course... Well, I won't tell you this time. I'll let you choose one and see what you think. Hehe, this is so fun.
Xiao Hanyi felt ashamed after hearing this. This kid has also learned to be naughty.
"If the emperor trusts me, I will serve you with all my heart and soul," Zhao Zhong replied.
Last night he had a dream that he became the chief eunuch of Weiyang Palace. When he woke up, he found a large wet spot on his pillow. It turned out to be drool from laughing.
Li Lai naturally also wanted to fight for it, but he used a different method, "Your Majesty is wise and naturally has the answer in his mind. I dare not say more."
Xiao Hanyi pretended to think for a moment and pointed at Zhao Zhong, "I think Zhao Zhong is more stable."
When Zhao Zhong heard this, his heart was filled with joy and he quickly knelt down to express his gratitude, "Your servant thanks the emperor."
"stand up".
Li Lai concealed his inner disappointment and bowed to Zhao Zhong, saying, "Congratulations, Eunuch Zhao."
Oh my god, my tyrant father is so blind. How did he survive until now? He chose a personal steward, a Beiliang man, and now he chooses Zhao Zhong, a man who betrayed his master in times of crisis and ran away with the money.
My tyrant father, how can I say good things about you? If it weren't for the fact that you just made my mother your imperial concubine, I wouldn't bother helping you. Li Lai is the loyal one, while Zhao Zhong, a slick guy, deserves to be beaten to death.
However, she knew that her tyrant father could not hear her words, and he was just playing by himself anyway since he had nothing to do.
After hearing this, Xiao Hanyi clenched his fists. He really wanted to hit someone. How dare you say he was blind?
He felt disappointed with his own vision again. How could this be? Could it be that he really couldn't judge people?
"Then let Li be the general manager."
What?
Zhao Zhong was feeling happy, but he thought he had misheard and was shocked.
Li Lai was also stunned. Xiao Hanyi had just said that Zhao Zhong was more reliable. Why? Let him be the chief steward?
"Why, you don't want to?" Xiao Hanyi asked.
Li Lai knelt down quickly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you."
Zhao Zhong stood aside, his mouth twitching, unable to force a smile. Finally, he tried his best to say, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Well, Zhao Zhong, you go to the laundry department."
Since he is a traitor, just kick him away.
Zhao Zhong realized something was wrong at this moment and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Xiao Hanyi interrupted him, not wanting to listen, and asked, "Do you want to disobey the order?"
"No, no, no, I dare not."
[Well done, Tyrant Daddy is still very powerful]
Do I need your praise? I am already wise. Xiao Hanyi felt a little proud after listening to Xiao Jiayun's inner voice. When he realized it, he felt something was wrong. He was the emperor. What was there to be happy about when he was praised by a little fetus?
Zhao Zhong had no choice but to suppress his grievance and leave angrily. He had worked hard for many years to get to where he was today, but Xiao Hanyi's casual words wiped out everything he had.
Are you unwilling?
Hate? Yes.
When he was leaving, he met Concubine Heng and the second prince Xiao Jinghui rushing in. Concubine Heng's face did not look very good.
