Chapter 516: Not Over 3
After Bei Jingchu ascended the throne, the servants who were used to working in the East Palace moved to the Ganlu Palace.
The palace servants were not used to the sudden changes and everyone needed to adapt.
A young maid was chatting with her sister: "Ah~ Jiaojiao is so lucky. She was promoted to the second-class maid in Lizheng Palace last month."
"Although it's just a cleaning job, once your Majesty ascends the throne, you will be the emperor's successor!"
She said in frustration, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have complained about cleaning up and would have sneaked in first."
"Alas, I never knew things would change so quickly."
The older maid comforted her: "Although we don't have much of a future here, we have a lot of free time. Isn't that why you thought so?"
"More importantly, you don't have to kowtow to others, just take care of this inside."
The little maid ruffled her braid.
Palace maids were not allowed to braid their hair when on duty; they had to tie it up to make it easier to work.
But they don't have a master to manage this place, not even a nanny to manage it, so there's no one to enforce the rules.
She was even allowed to wear hairpins that were not in compliance with regulations.
After thinking about it, the regret dissipated a little.
The young maid asked curiously, "Sister, who is this crazy woman? Why does the Eastern Palace want to keep such a person?"
The maid reached out and hit her on the mouth, warning her: "Little girl, your mouth will hurt you sooner or later, don't ask about the master's affairs."
The little maid reluctantly said "Oh".
But Qi, who heard their conversation, rushed out and asked with cloudy eyes: "Who did you say ascended the throne? Was it Bei Jingchu?"
When the little palace maid heard someone calling the emperor by his name, she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
The Chief Palace Maid knew the relationship between this person and the current emperor, so she was a little calmer.
"Madam Qi, it is true that the former Crown Prince has ascended the throne and the ceremony has been held for half a month."
When Qi got the news, he seemed to have suffered a huge blow.
Ever since that girl was conferred the title of Prince, Qi realized that this day would come.
But...this day just happened before her.
Everything was telling her what a foolish decision it was to take the risk seventeen years ago.
She is not afraid of people thinking she is vicious.
There's nothing wrong with being cruel and ruthless and only caring about yourself!
But she couldn't accept that she was stupid and vicious.
It was obvious...that God had sent all kinds of wealth into her mouth, and it melted in her mouth so quickly that she could eat it without even chewing.
But she vomited.
Qi asked angrily, "Why didn't anyone tell me? I'm her biological mother, I should be the queen mother!"
"Let Bei Jingchu come to see me! Otherwise, I will let the world know that she is unfilial! Let's see how she sets an example for her subjects!"
The more she spoke, the more confident she seemed to become.
Yes, she was her biological mother and gave her a life.
Didn't you just want to replace her? But you didn't succeed!
How can children hate their mother for the rest of their lives because of this?
As an emperor, she should have some magnanimity.
Seeing that she was becoming more and more outrageous, the palace maids covered her mouth with their hands and tried to drag her in.
Qi struggled to free her hand from covering her mouth and shouted, "How dare you! I am the Queen Mother, I am the Queen Mother!"
After being locked up, Qi was still not well behaved and kept saying that she was the Queen Mother, which annoyed the palace ladies.
Finally one day, the young palace maid happily brought back a piece of news: "Your Majesty has been registered under the name of Empress Dowager Zhang, who was once Consort Fanggui."
"Master Yudie, Concubine Fang Gui is your Majesty's biological mother. No one knows you at all. So stop shouting that you are the empress dowager all day long. Aren't you annoying?"
Qi finally calmed down.
The next day, when the little palace maid came yawning to deliver food, no one responded.
When I pushed the door open and took a look, I screamed in fright.
The crazy woman who had been bothering them for years committed suicide by hitting her head against a pillar.
Qi felt that his life was too miserable. He ended up like this just because he made a small mistake.
