This has its advantages and disadvantages, but at present, Consort Hesheli Fangyi does not have the ability to compete with the Empress Dowager. So, even if she cannot get first-hand information, she can find out the general movements of the other ladies-in-waiting. Even if the Empress Dowager finds out, she will not be angry.
"Speaking of which, Consort Shu directly bribed some of the maids who could serve in the Yongshou Palace."
If those maids hadn't come from the Cining Palace, even Consort Shu probably wouldn't have let them off the hook.
In her heart, Li Mama admired Consort Shu's audacity. She did things that even the Empress wouldn't dare to do without any pressure. Was this really the confidence that came from the Niohuru clan? It was too much.
"Heh, Consort Shu has always been tough. Even though she's pregnant now and doesn't leave the palace easily, look at how much the Imperial Household Department is sending to Yongshou Palace these days!" Consort Hesheli knew perfectly well.
"To be honest, I don't know where Consort Shu's inexplicable confidence comes from either."
Could it really be that the power of the former dynasty's Ao Bai and Ebilun made Consort Shu fearless? Indeed, the former dynasty and the harem were one, and Hesheli was still at a disadvantage after losing her grandfather.
"Granny, regarding the young ladies-in-waiting, just let these servants gather information."
Not all of these people can enter the harem. If they do, there's plenty of time later. There's no need to rush.
After Hesheli Fangyi finished speaking, she raised the corners of her eyes slightly, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
Granny Li bowed her head and replied, "This servant understands."
...
Unlike the conservative Kunning Palace, the Yongshou Palace is arranged in a more aggressive way.
Li Mama was right. Consort Shu had bribed a group of maids to serve the young ladies-in-waiting, and she did it openly and without any attempt to hide it.
Of course, when it was said to be a big show, it referred to the Kunning Palace and Cining Palace, but Consort Shu herself felt that she had been careful enough.
"Cuizhi, make sure they keep an eye on this batch of women who are being re-selected."
Consort Shu, dressed in a purple cheongsam, leaned against the couch, with a plate of crystal-clear fruit beside her.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant understands," Cuizhi peeled the fruit clean and fed it to Consort Shu.
"Hmm, it's a bit too sweet."
Consort Shu frowned and waved for Cuizhi to remove all the fruit. "Among the new palace maids who came in this year, are there really no maids with the surname Dong?"
That shouldn't be the case. Consort Duan, of the Dong clan, was selected to enter the palace this year.
Recalling her increasingly hazy memories of her past life, Consort Shu felt that since she was able to travel through time, it proved that she still had some protagonist's halo. If she didn't take the opportunity to deal with some of the more threatening people in advance, wouldn't she be letting down all the novels she had read?
That's right. Compared to Xiu Ning's high school-aged half-sister, Consort Shu is a recent college graduate who has been working as a corporate slave for a few years. She loves reading novels, so her general understanding of Qing Dynasty history comes from various sweet and romantic palace intrigue novels.
This led to a rather serious problem: Consort Shu had read a lot of different novels, and she couldn't distinguish which were true and which were false.
