Xia, however, shook her head and said, "It's Consort Fei."
Consort Fei?
Scrap?
Jian Yang was immediately amused by the pun in her head.
Wait, Consort Fei?
"Is it my annoying younger sister?"
Lianxia nodded: "Your Majesty, you don't know, but these days the Emperor has been increasingly fond of Consort Fei. Not only does he stay overnight every day, but he has also bestowed Yong'an Palace upon her. How can a mere consort be worthy of being the head of a palace? Isn't this breaking the rules?"
Wow!
Jian Yang immediately began to look at her younger sister with new respect.
I never expected that they would have some skills.
"Then why are you crying for no reason?"
Lianxia choked up and said, "Now everyone outside is saying that Your Highness has fallen out of favor. Those guys in the Imperial Household Department have started to treat people differently based on who they are. Yesterday, when I went to collect the gold charcoal, they said that all the charcoal was prepared for Consort Fei. In the end, they only gave me a basket of silver charcoal."
Jian Yang suddenly realized, "I knew it! The food standards have clearly dropped these past two days."
So that's where the root of the problem lies.
The imperial harem was indeed the most pragmatic place, where all resources were allocated according to the emperor's favor. This led women to fight tooth and nail for that illusory affection.
It's really incredibly boring.
"Your Majesty, it's nothing for me to suffer some grievances, but as the Empress, I cannot bear to see those powerful scoundrels bullying you like this!"
As she spoke, Lianxia started to cry, and Xiqiu's eyes also reddened.
Jian Yang was both amused and exasperated. "Don't be sad. I am still the Empress. Those people below only dare to make small moves. If you encounter any more ignorant ones, just hit them. After you're done, I will back you up."
She should lead the way in rectifying the unhealthy practices in the imperial harem.
The two maids were both stunned.
Jian Yang waved her hand, telling them to go play.
But as soon as the two left, her eyes, which had been full of smiles, gradually turned cold.
Because of the neglect from the imperial kitchen, Jian Yang simply had the ingredients brought back.
I made it myself in the small kitchen.
She's been eating ready-made meals every day lately, and she's almost ruined her excellent cooking skills.
So when she placed the delicious dishes on the table, she immediately received unanimous praise from everyone in the palace.
Seeing everyone looking so content and happy filled me with immense joy.
This sense of accomplishment is far more fulfilling than being an empress!
During this time, she even had the idea of quitting her job and opening a restaurant to make a living.
While the Weiyang Palace was filled with peace and tranquility, another place was gripped by a tense atmosphere.
Everyone was on edge, afraid of inadvertently offending their master.
This is Consort Yu's Jade Hibiscus Palace!
At this moment, a maid carefully brought over a bowl of bird's nest soup and said softly, "Your Highness, the bird's nest soup is ready. Please eat it while it's hot."
Without even glancing at it, Consort Yu swept her arm and knocked the bowl of bird's nest to the ground!
The porcelain bowl shattered with a crack, and bird's nest spilled all over the ground.
"What are you eating? Get out!"
The maid immediately and carefully picked up the shards, cleaned the floor as quickly as possible, and then hurriedly fled the hall.
The palace maid guarding the door saw her disheveled appearance and asked in a low voice, "What happened this time?"
"Shh, it's all because of that person at Yong'an Palace!"
The story begins this morning.
At that time, Consort Yu was admiring the osmanthus flowers in the Imperial Garden. Her maid, Jingyue, suggested that since the osmanthus flowers were blooming so profusely this year, why not pick some to make osmanthus cakes?
Consort Yu slept well last night and was in a good mood today, so she granted the request.
Just as Jingyue was picking osmanthus flowers, Jianfei appeared.
According to their rank, Jian Fei should bow to Consort Yu.
However, she has recently gained the emperor's favor and has become arrogant, naturally no longer taking Consort Yu seriously.
Although Consort Yu was furious, she was too lazy to argue with her.
But even though she didn't provoke her, Jian Fei took advantage of her kindness.
"How dare you! Who is it that dares to pick osmanthus flowers!" A maidservant beside Jian Fei shouted sharply!
Consort Yu's eyes instantly turned cold. "What do you mean by this, sister?"
Jian Fei didn't speak, but suddenly tears streamed down her face, and she called out tremblingly to the little maid beside her, "Yu Zhu..."
Consort Yu was dumbfounded.
She hasn't said anything yet, why is she crying?
The next moment, Yu Zhu snatched the flower basket from Jing Yue's hands, dumped the basket full of osmanthus flowers onto the ground, and said sternly, "This osmanthus tree is our Empress's favorite osmanthus tree. How dare you pick our Empress's most beloved osmanthus flowers!"
Even Consort Yu, who had years of experience in palace intrigue, was stunned by this reason!
What does it mean to fabricate a crime?
That's it.
Jingyue was also annoyed and refused to back down: "This osmanthus tree has been here for many years, and our Empress has come to pick its blossoms every year. How come it has become your Empress's favorite osmanthus tree this year?"
But Yu Zhu said in a spoiled tone, "From this year onwards, this osmanthus tree will be our Empress's favorite osmanthus tree. If you are not satisfied, then go and complain to the Emperor."
The two maids immediately started arguing.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a loud slap rang out.
Everyone looked in alarm toward the source of the sound.
Jian Fei covered her face, staring at Yu Fei in disbelief.
Consort Yu swung her arm and sneered, "You wretch, if you dare to cause trouble in front of me again, I'll kill you."
After saying that, he led his men away.
The next part of the story naturally involves Jian Fei crying her eyes out in front of the emperor and complaining about the situation. In order to protect his beloved concubine, the emperor severely reprimands Consort Yu!
Consort Yu was inexplicably subjected to this undeserved calamity, and she was unwilling to swallow this insult.
Upon returning to the palace, he unleashed a furious tantrum.
"Xiao Die!" Yu Fei's voice suddenly rang out from the main hall.
The maid named Xiaodie quickly shoved the tray containing the broken pieces into her companion's arms: "Her Majesty called me, please help me clean up first."
"Go ahead." Under the sympathetic gazes of her companions, Xiaodie entered the main hall once again.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Xiao Die asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Consort Yu stood up: "Help me with my hair and makeup. I am going to see the Empress."
"yes."
An hour later, Consort Yu arrived at Weiyang Palace with Xiaodie.
At this moment, Jian Yang had just finished making a taro cream pastry, saying that she wanted the palace eunuchs and maids to taste it, but in reality, she just wanted to make everyone happy.
Looking at the exquisite and sweet pastries in front of them, no one wanted to take a bite.
It was also because the Empress was kind-hearted that they could never have such delicious food in their entire lives under normal circumstances.
As soon as Consort Yu entered the palace gate, she saw that everyone looked satisfied and intoxicated, some even holding snacks and eating them in small bites.
She snorted coldly: "The Empress is quite composed!"
She didn't actually want to come to Weiyang Palace on her own initiative.
But now Jian Fei has gone too far, not only causing the Empress to lose favor, but also causing her to suffer!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Consort Yu has decided to form an alliance with Jian Yang!
