Xiao Zhang's voice sounded neither sad nor happy, making it difficult to understand his thoughts.
Although hesitant, someone responded quickly.
"Because there are no former queens in the palace, they don't know how to manage the harem. They just assume that the position should be held by one of the two highest-ranking concubines, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't know how to make a judgment.
It just so happened that Fanghanwu was located in a remote area, and Consort Liang of Fanghanwu didn't seem to like these things, so she gave them directly to Consort De to look after. "
Xiao Zhang looked at the people kneeling below with a smile on his face, but no one could see clearly what was in his eyes.
Not being able to look the emperor in the face was a little trick they were taught as soon as they entered the palace.
"You haven't even let Concubine Liang try it, so how do you know she doesn't like these things?"
Xiao Zhang's tone was still calm, but it was obvious that he was a little angry.
This is the first time I've seen someone reveal his facial expressions and tone.
Everyone looked a little terrified, "I know I'm wrong."
The sound of people banging their heads against the ground sounded harsh, and Xiao Zhang felt a little annoyed.
"Leave the affairs of the harem to Consort Liang, and let Consort De take over when we get back."
"As you wish."
Everyone stood up and looked at each other. The wind direction must have changed recently.
The emperor had never asked about matters concerning the harem before, but now he actually asked about it in person. Whether it was about the past or the future, no matter what the result was, they had no right to interfere.
Because these matters do not simply involve the court.
The involvement between the harem and the court is so complex that it affects the entire body.
Those who left began to think in their minds whether they had committed any offense against Concubine Liang in the past.
However, it seems that there is no memory of Concubine Liang in my mind.
However, at that moment, everyone began to make up their minds to please Concubine Liang.
After everyone left, Xiao Zhang began to imagine in his mind how Wen Han would look when he received this order.
Even though he was saying "MMP" in his heart, he still had a smiling face.
That twisted look must be very beautiful.
Didn’t Concubine Liang always say that she was bored?
Then just do something to keep her busy.
Xiao Zhang's decree arrived at the palace the next morning. Because of the scene of Wen Han crushing stones, Empress Defei, who was sick in bed, had just woken up and fainted again.
Even if one is not greedy for power, one cannot just watch the many affairs of the harem being managed by one's opponent.
Fanghanwu.
Wen Xia held the bright yellow decree in her hands, treating it like a treasure.
His eyes were full of curiosity, "My Lady, where do we put this?"
Wen Han pinched his brow, then looked at Wen Xia, "Is burning the imperial edict illegal?"
Wen Xia nodded innocently, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "Master, even if you don't like this order, you can't refuse to accept the affairs of the harem! Once you accept it, you will be the most powerful one in the harem."
"Put this imperial edict in the innermost box."
Wen Han took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Wen Xia looked at the determined Wen Han and did not try to persuade him again.
It's just that his expression is a little weird.
The secret guards who followed him over from the roof were extremely curious. What kind of place was this that would cause such an expression?
Finally, the truth is out.
That place is where Concubine Liang's embroidered shoes are placed.
Wen Han looked at the sky outside. It was still clear, but there was a torrential downpour in Wen Han's heart.
She hates these troubles the most.
Wen Xia put down the imperial edict in front of him and prepared to go to the front to find Wen Han.
Liu Dong stopped Wen Xia immediately.
Liu Dong looked at Wen Xia helplessly. His emotional intelligence was quite high, but his IQ was a little worrying.
"Do you know what the master dislikes the most?" Liu Dong's voice was slightly suppressed.
Wen Xia: "Your Majesty?"
Liu Dong: "...That's right, but what else?"
"Something bitter?"
Liu Dong touched his forehead and thought, forget it, just let Wen Xia die of stupidity.
"I'm afraid of trouble! The Emperor has caused such trouble for you, and you're feeling anxious. If you look at the paintings of ladies later, you'll be able to calm down."
Wen Xia paused. She had been imagining the arrogant look of the man from yesterday, but she had forgotten that what her master hated most was managing these complicated trivial matters.
Wen Xia looked at Liu Dong, with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Liu Dong hugged Wen Xia, and Wen Xia said in a timid voice, "Little Dong Dong, you are so good to me!"
Liu Dong's voice was somewhat ethereal. "Even in the future, if the master gives me a hard time, just...interrupt him briefly. Don't dare to take advantage of me for being so kind to you."
Wen Xia let go of his hand instantly, "Talk about it later, talk about it later."
Wen Xia sensed the despair in Liu Dong's eyes and patted his shoulder soothingly, "I'm sorry. I'll do my best to save you, but more likely, I won't be able to save you and end up getting myself into trouble."
After the elegant sound of piano playing began inside, despair was revealed in the eyes of Liu Dong and Wen Xia.
The master has already brought out these things that cultivate sentiments. It seems that the master cannot control his mood that day.
Liu Dong looked at Wen Xia in front of him and said, "Tell the kitchen to make more meat today! Otherwise, our lives will be difficult!"
Wen Xia looked at Liu Dong with a somewhat mournful expression, "Will our lives be easy from now on? According to normal customs, the master should have a grudge against the emperor. We probably have to stay here for the rest of our lives."
Liu Dong smiled and patted Wen Xia's head. "You've been with me for so long, you should like this kind of life! Besides, how can you get promoted? Fanghanwu is pretty good, far away from the disputes outside."
The sound of their conversation could not be suppressed, so they did not notice that the piano sound had disappeared.
"Wen Xia, Liu Dong, come in, both of you!" A calm voice came from inside.
Wen Xia spoke first, "Master, are you okay?"
Wen Han looked at the two of them. "Do you remember what I said to you before entering the palace? The war in the harem has just begun. We may not have any private space between us in the future. Walls have ears. Maybe there are shameless villains secretly observing us in the dark."
Wen Xia weakly raised her hand and looked at Wen Han.
Wen Han looked at Liu Dong.
Liu Dong walked out, looked at the door, and quietly closed it.
Wen Xia: "Master, there are also people from our Wen family in the harem. However, I heard that during the year of house arrest, the Wen family and the master had a falling out, so I don't know if these chess pieces can still be used."
