Chen Yuwei rested her chin on her hand, thinking that if the Empress gave her face, her two daughters might receive even more benefits.
Will the Empress give me face?
This might not have worked before, but now that the Empress and Empress Dowager are vying for power in the palace, and believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it has indeed given Chen Yuwei a convenient opportunity.
Dong Han, who served the Empress, did not understand. "Your Majesty, the two illegitimate princesses are already on par with our legitimate third princess according to your plan."
Fucha Jinyi continued to process the stack of accounts sent by the Imperial Household Department. "It was the same as last year when the baby was a month old. This year's first birthday banquet is just a continuation of that."
Donghan: ...How can that be the same? Last year there were unavoidable circumstances, but this year there is nothing. In fact, Changchun Palace is in a passive position.
"Donghan, tell the Imperial Household Department about this, and also send a message to Yikun Palace."
If we're going to sell well, we need to sell thoroughly. Right now, the most important thing for us is to take back the portion of palace power held by the Empress Dowager.
It's not that we don't want to give the Empress Dowager palace power, but rather that the portion she holds is too important.
If all else fails, Fucha Jinyi will have to use what she has to make a deal with the Empress Dowager.
In any case, Fucha Jinyi will neither loosen his control over certain areas nor hand them over to others.
Fucha Jinyi patiently reasoned with Donghan, and Donghan came to understand Fucha Jinyi's concerns.
Although Donghan was smarter than Dongxue, Donghan was still limited to the level of a maid. Her thinking was too narrow. It was not that she was not loyal to Fucha Jinyi, but that all her thoughts revolved around the women in the harem and their offspring.
In Dong Han's view, his empress only needed to guard against those women and their offspring, and secure her position as empress, and she could rest easy.
In reality, Fucha Jinyi's opponents were never the women in the harem. Her biggest opponents were the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who were nominally family but also her most direct adversaries.
Dong Han nodded and did not argue with Fucha Jinyi about this matter.
Fucha Jinyi put down the accounts in her hand and said, "Send some to the Imperial Household Department."
"The new month's allowance will be distributed in a few days; let's inform the Cining Palace in advance."
The monthly accounts were still in Cining Palace. After Fucha Jinyi returned, she tried to ask the Empress Dowager for them twice, but the Empress Dowager used other excuses to deflect her questions each time.
With time running out, Fucha Jinyi had no choice but to remain still and wait for further arrangements.
