"Who asked you to drink the tea you poured?" Bin'er picked up the rag she had just thrown away in a huff. "I still need to wipe the table."
"Alright, alright, Aunt Bin'er, you're wiping the table. How about I fetch you a basin of water?" Xiao Shunzi said ingratiatingly, picking up the basin and heading outside.
Consort Shu stared at her departing figure and sighed deeply in her heart.
What happened today.
Emperor Yuanwu was furious.
But just as he was about to issue an edict to punish the Empress.
The Empress Dowager arrived suddenly; it seems she has spies around her.
Who exactly is this person?
Consort Shu looked at the busy workers in the courtyard and was momentarily confused.
But even if the emperor really wanted to punish him.
They won't actually depose the empress.
After all, deposing an empress is not just a simple matter of two words.
The imperial court and the harem are interconnected; a single move can have far-reaching consequences, making it no simple matter.
It's nothing more than punishing her by confining her to Yikun Palace.
The empress no longer holds any real power.
But getting rid of her is not an easy task.
With the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince as her pawns, plus her maternal family, how could anyone easily take them down?
What happened to Xiao Shunzi today served as a good wake-up call for her.
This time it's Xiao Shunzi.
So who will be next?
Could it be Bin'er?
It was still her four children.
For the first time in this palace, Consort Shu realized that even if she did not compete or fight for anything, there would still be people who would see her as a stumbling block in their struggles.
If you want to survive well in this palace, the only way is to constantly become stronger.
As Mu Qianqian grew up day by day.
She was even more worried that one day, because of her weakness, Mu Qianqian might become a pawn in consolidating national stability and be sent away for a political marriage.
Although she really didn't like thinking about it.
But it was something she had to think about and face.
For the first time, Consort Shu felt what it meant to be outnumbered and powerless.
Just like right now.
Even though the Empress made such a big mistake.
However, the Empress Dowager still had his backing.
Even if the emperor is very angry, it is difficult for him to really do anything.
After this draft.
She also wants to develop a few of her own people.
"Bin'er." Consort Shu glanced at Bin'er, who was busy at work, and said, "Stop tidying up and come with me to visit Consort Zhen. It's been a long time since I've seen her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
-
Qingfeng Garden.
Consort Zhen was idly pruning flowers in the courtyard.
Qingyan was holding a small white dog with a pointed nose.
The white puppy was as clear as white jade, and its pure white fur shone brightly in the sunlight, making it particularly dazzling.
The moment Qingyan stepped into Qingfeng Garden.
The puppy whimpered in her arms.
Following the direction of the sound.
Consort Zhen turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Her eyes widened slightly when she saw the smoke.
"Sister doesn't move around in the palace often, so it's understandable that she might not recognize me at first." Qingyan smiled and said, "I am Qingyan from Yunyan Pavilion."
"So it's Consort Qing." Consort Zhen hurriedly put down the scissors in her hand and took a few steps toward the door: "Sister, please come in quickly. Pearl, please serve tea."
“Sister, you don’t need to be so polite. I was just taking a stroll around the palace when I saw this embroidered ball.” Qingyan said, glancing down at the white puppy in her arms. “It seems that the embroidered ball likes the Empress’s Qingfeng Garden.”
"Embroidered ball?" Consort Zhen repeated, somewhat surprised.
