Chapter 395 Daily Life in the Palace (13)



Of course, while some people are doing well, others are not.

If Jin Xiangling benefits, then the other concubines who originally benefited will immediately feel neglected.

This has always been the case in the imperial harem: one only sees the laughter of new concubines, and hears no weeping of the old ones.

After all, an old friend is an old friend. If the emperor doesn't like you, others won't take you seriously. What can you do?

Those with high aspirations might try to regain the emperor's favor, while those without such ambition will continue to wallow in self-pity and eventually wither away like flowers in the cannibalistic harem, becoming an unnoticed ghost.

Huang Wanyu is currently the one who has lost her spirit, but she is different from other people who have fallen out of favor. She did not fall out of favor because of Jin Xiangling, but because of her own health.

No matter how perverse the emperor is, he would never favor a sickly woman; wouldn't that be like catching a contagious disease? You must know that the emperor is of noble birth and cannot tolerate the slightest mishap.

Huang Wanyu, a well-known patient who couldn't recover even while being cared for in the palace, was sent to the harsher and more desolate borderlands. How could she possibly recover normally?

From the very beginning, Chen Yuwei knew that Huang Wanyu's choice to go to the borderlands was a path to her death.

Unfortunately, Huang Wanyu liked it herself, and the Huang family didn't try to dissuade her, so she had no choice but to consider her own fate and accept it.

Now

Chen Yuwei shook the letter in her hand, thinking to herself that Huang Wanyu's situation was entirely her own fault. Now look what happened, even if she came back from beyond the Great Wall, she wouldn't live for more than a few days.

According to Wu Shulai, Huang Wanyu was almost at her last gasp and could only survive day by day by relying on the expensive medicinal herbs she had brought with her.

The Emperor had completely lost patience with Huang Wanyu, but out of consideration for the Emperor's dignity and the Huang family, he had no choice but to have the imperial physicians keep Huang Wanyu alive as much as possible.

Even if the other party dies, it is too unlucky for them to die on the way to inspect the border region.

With the Emperor's words, Huang Wanyu's recent days are predictably filled with hardship.

Life is worse than death

Chen Yuwei knew that sometimes, living was more painful than dying, just like now.

The letter in my hand had vanished without a trace without me noticing.

Chen Yuwei clapped her hands, humming a little tune as she continued to ponder how she could live a carefree life in the harem while the Emperor was not returning.

Not bad, not bad. Whether the Emperor returns early or late doesn't affect her at all.

What if we miss the Mid-Autumn Festival? How do we arrange the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet then?

"A Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? Consort Shu is right. I will write to His Majesty about this later."

"There are many matters to attend to in the palace right now, so I won't keep you any longer. Please go back now."

The main hall of Cining Palace is resplendent in gold and white, and is surrounded by various gold and white objects.

When Niohuru became Empress Dowager, she made no attempt to hide her nouveau riche aesthetic.

The entire Cining Palace looks very magnificent.

Chen Yuwei smiled and nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Standing up, Chen Yuwei took Xia He's arm and calmly left the Cining Palace.

Only when the Cining Palace behind her grew further and further away did her expression change.

call

Finally, she got rid of this hot potato; otherwise, her small frame wouldn't have been able to handle the huge burden of hosting a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet all by herself.

It should be noted that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was a festival that the palace held every year.

Even though the emperor has not returned, there are still people in charge in the palace.

Because of this matter, things have been a bit tense in the palace lately.

Changchun Palace, in particular, involves palace power, making it more sensitive to them than Yikun Palace.

They still remember the Empress's instructions perfectly.

It's not so bad to temporarily replace them, but if they take over and make it their own, then they'll be in deep trouble.

Therefore, Chen Yuwei simply cut off the work from the source, handing it over to the Empress Dowager, who had nothing to do all day and spent her time going to Baohua Hall to chant sutras and pray for blessings.

In short, Chen Yuwei had only one attitude: whoever wanted the banquet could have it, but she didn't want it.

Now that she has listened to the Empress Dowager's words, Chen Yuwei is almost certain to predict who will ultimately win this matter.

hehe

It seems that becoming an empress dowager in name only is not as comfortable as being the powerful Consort Xi during the late emperor's reign.

"The weather has cooled down a bit lately, so we should use the ice in the palace sparingly and hand it over to Cining Palace for allocation during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

He gently placed his hand in front of his forehead to block the bright sunlight shining down from above.

Chen Yuwei spoke casually, her expression much more relaxed than before.

It was already early August, and the weather was no longer as hot as it was in July.

Because there are relatively few masters and concubines remaining in the palace, and the ice stockpiled last year cannot be kept for too long, since new ice is stockpiled every winter.

Chen Yuwei took the opportunity to use this opportunity to let the entire harem enjoy the luxury of spending the summer in comfort. This incident also caused Chen Yuwei's good reputation in the harem to soar, and even made Changchun Palace secretly unhappy.

Unfortunately, Changchun Palace, as the biggest beneficiary, still had a sense of shame.

I can't bring myself to do something like eating from a bowl and then cursing your mother afterward.

Chen Yuwei's suggestion to save ice is also because she is worried that the Empress Dowager's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be too extravagant and uncontrollable, thus disgracing the royal family.

"You can't fight city hall," Chen Yuwei thought to herself, her mind racing with mischief. She even worried that the chances of the Empress getting a headache would increase once she returned from Mongolia.

That's the logic. A daughter-in-law is never as important as one's own mother. The Empress Dowager probably doesn't want to relinquish power. What Fucha Jinyi didn't want to see will eventually happen in another form.

Putting aside the situation at Yikun Palace, Changchun Palace alone has sent out messages more than once.

It is not yet known what Fucha Jinyi will do after receiving the letter.
