Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation
The weather was perfect, with plenty of sunshine.
Wu Shulai yawned, and rolling his eyes with disdain as he listened to the faint sounds of people coming from behind him.
Oh
That's it? A lady from a prestigious family? This is truly an eye-opener for a eunuch like him. It turns out she's not even as capable as Consort Ling.
Based on this contradiction, Wu Shulai began to despise Consort Lan, Niohuru, who had only recently entered the palace and was now greatly favored by Emperor Hongli.
Wu Shulai shook his head, wondering where the Empress Dowager had found such a talented person. He wondered how long this person could stay in the harem.
"Father-in-law"
A young eunuch ran over from outside the door, grinning as he approached Wu Shulai, trying to ingratiate himself with the young man.
Wu Shulai raised his eyes slightly and tilted his head back. "It's you, Xiao Songzi. Is something the matter?"
The eunuch called Xiao Songzi readily agreed, then pointed behind him, "Your Excellency, the Imperial Noble Consort of Yikun Palace has come with Princess Wuyunzhu."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shulai's eyes lit up. "Who?" Who came over?
“It’s the Imperial Noble Consort and Princess Wuyunzhu,” Xiaosongzi quickly repeated.
But before Xiao Songzi could finish speaking, Wu Shulai had already rushed out.
Like a gust of wind passing by quickly, her agile figure was completely incongruous with her chubby body.
Komatsuko:...?
Wu Shulai didn't care about Xiao Songzi's surprise. The Imperial Noble Consort and Princess Wuyunzhu were the two most favored concubines in the harem.
Princess Wuyunzhu, in particular, was truly the emperor's most cherished daughter.
The two of them arrived just in time to put down Consort Lan's arrogance.
snort!
How dare they look down on us servants of the emperor? Do they really think they're something special?
Without even inquiring about Wu Shulai's standing in the Emperor's eyes and in the Emperor's heart.
Unable to resist muttering to himself, Wu Shulai walked a short distance outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and looked up to see two sedan chairs rushing towards him.
Tsk
Xiao Songzi wasn't lying to him; it was the Imperial Noble Consort and Princess Wuyunzhu.
Wu Shulai had a plan to use Chen Yuwei and Wu Yunzhu's strength against them, so he was unusually attentive when they came over.
Chen Yuwei: ...Hmm?
Wu Yunzhu was young and only thought Wu Shulai was enthusiastic. However, Chen Yuwei knew that Wu Shulai was a man who wouldn't do anything without a reason, and she knew he was up to no good.
"Why trouble Eunuch Wu to come and fetch us personally? The Emperor still needs your help."
Chen Yuwei made a joke, while also testing Wu Shulai.
"Your Highness is too kind to this humble servant," Wu Shulai said with a fawning smile. Then, he changed the subject, mentioning that besides the Emperor, Consort Lan was also in the room. "This humble servant did not expect Your Highness to come. Please allow me, Your Highness and the Princess, to inform Your Highness that this humble servant will go in and ask the Emperor for permission."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuwei nodded slightly, signaling Wu Shulai to hurry up and get to work.
As soon as Wu Shulai left, Wuyunzhu complained, "Do I need to tell Father Emperor that I'm coming?"
The Emperor clearly told her that she could simply push open the door and enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the future.
When she came before, Wu Shulai neither stopped her nor said anything.
Why is this time so unusual? They actually left the mother and daughter at the door and ran inside to inform Father Emperor.
Chen Yuwei smiled slightly, "Eunuch Wu said that Consort Lan is also inside. He probably didn't want you to offend him and see something you shouldn't have."
Chen Yuwei held a round fan in her hand, fanning herself idly.
He scoffed inwardly at Wu Shulai, thinking he was a dishonest man who wanted to use the mother and daughter to teach Consort Lan a lesson, and then hypocritically went to ask for permission. Ha!
Wu Yunzhu was unhappy; the corners of her mouth turned down, and her whole face exuded a gloomy aura.
She had never been treated like this before. What a disgrace! Noble Lady Lan, Noble Lady Hua, she's really annoying.
Even if she was dissatisfied, Wu Yunzhu wouldn't hold back, and besides, swallowing her anger wasn't Wu Yunzhu's character.
After all, Princess Wuyunzhu was someone whom Hongli had genuinely doted on for many years, and she had quite a temper.
She had a disagreement with Hongli before, and it was only after Hongli took the initiative to beg for forgiveness that the matter was resolved.
at the moment?
Wu Yunzhu perfectly embodies what it means to be spoiled and arrogant; her words are direct and hurtful.
Chen Yuwei: ...
Chen Yuwei shook her head helplessly, "This time it's given you a good reminder."
In the future, you must not rush to the Hall of Mental Cultivation without asking any questions first.
You should know that your father, the Emperor, may not only have him by his side.
As Wuyunzhu grew older, when she was a child she would cover up her mistakes by saying that she was just a lively and naughty child. But now that she was older, if she did that, it would be considered immature, and Hongli would suffer if he held a grudge.
Wuyunzhu: ...
Mother
Wu Yunzhu shook Chen Yuwei's arm, though she understood to some extent, she was still a little upset.
"Learn more, listen more, and observe more, and don't forget the purpose of your visit today."
Don't worry about Consort Lan for now; just focus on achieving your goal.
Everything else is irrelevant.
Wuyunzhu blinked and nodded obediently, "Mother, don't worry, I understand."
Seeing this, Chen Yuwei continued to take this opportunity to instill in Wuyunzhu some things about getting along with Hongli.
These are all useful and practical tips; I guarantee that Wu Yunzhu will benefit immensely from learning them.
On the other side, Wu Shulai, who had entered to report to Hongli, also came out smoothly.
Smiling, he walked up to Chen Yuwei and her daughter and invited them inside.
Even at the end, this person didn't forget to sow discord among Consort Lan's eyes, saying some bad things about her.
Chen Yuwei was speechless. She ignored Wu Shulai, who treated her like a dish, and thought to herself that as people get older, both men and women should step down and make way for others.
