The next morning at court, there were many memorials impeaching the Yang family.
The leader was Censor He, who impeached the Yang family members for riding horses to injure people, for robbing women, etc.
In a big family, there are always a few bad guys, and you can find them all by checking.
Bei Lingyao demoted Yang Chengye to the rank of fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister, and replaced him with Dali Temple Junior Minister.
Then she took away Shi's father's official position.
The Earl of Yong'an claimed to be ill and did not attend the morning court. As soon as the court was over, the Minister of Revenue Zhang Yuan brought his officials and excitedly went to the Earl of Yong'an's mansion to collect debts.
Bei Lingyao watched them leave with interest, and the long-lost voice of the system rang in her mind.
It was only three days, but it felt like a century.
[Host, there is still one hour left before it is changed back.]
[Why have you been silent these past few days? Also, why haven't I heard you announce the points I've earned for becoming a concubine and a noble concubine?]
Bei Lingyao had been so busy these days that she hadn't taken care of the system and almost forgot about it.
【Won't you wait until you change back before reporting this?】
Bei Lingyao didn't care.
"Your Majesty, I have already delivered the memorials I received today to Yongshou Palace."
Bei Lingyao didn't expect Zhang De to be so quick. She thought about changing it back today and didn't ask Zhang De to move the memorial to Yongshou Palace, but she didn't expect Zhang De to do it on his own initiative.
At this time, Emperor Jiahe was still paying his respects in Kunning Palace. The Empress Dowager only paid her respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. She made an exception yesterday because Concubine Shi and Bei Lingyao entered the palace.
The queen was too idle, and she actually kept the concubines for so long.
The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Emperor Jiahe. It was ok for him to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager's palace yesterday, but he didn't have to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager today, but he had to come to the Empress's palace every day.
As an emperor, since he became one of the concubines, he felt impatient sitting in the Kunning Palace and listening to the concubines' witty banter.
These were all boring and uninteresting topics for Emperor Jiahe.
Just because Concubine Shi was sent out of the palace, Concubine Bei was promoted two levels to Concubine Bei Gui, and Emperor Jiahe became the focus of attention of the concubines again.
After it was over, Emperor Jiahe wanted to leave immediately, but this time it was the Queen who stopped him.
"Noble Concubine Zhuang, please stay."
The concubines glanced at Emperor Jiahe and then withdrew.
Emperor Jiahe stopped and looked at the queen.
They were a young couple. The empress was the fiancée chosen by the late emperor for Emperor Jiahe. She was the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and was now the head of the Hanlin Academy.
The queen's appearance was not outstanding, she was just dignified and pretty, but she was well-educated and had a refined temperament with a wealth of poetry and books in her mind.
Emperor Jiahe was initially very satisfied with the empress, otherwise he would not have waited until the empress gave birth to the eldest prince as her second child before allowing other concubines to become pregnant.
However, as other concubines suffered miscarriages, princes and princesses died one after another. The queen fanned the flames and even caused two concubines to suffer miscarriages.
When the eldest princess and the eldest prince were still alive, Emperor Jiahe did not do anything to the empress for the sake of his two children.
But the concubine who had a miscarriage took revenge and caused Emperor Jiahe to lose his two children, so he could not help but blame the queen.
So when looking at the Queen at this moment, Emperor Jiahe's heart was as calm as water, and there was indifference in his eyes.
The queen was furious. This Bei actually looked at her like that. Did she think that after being favored for two days, the queen no longer took her seriously?
The Queen took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said slowly, "Noble Concubine Bei has just entered the palace. If there is anything you need, you can tell me."
Emperor Jiahe deliberately said, "The Emperor is very kind to me. He asked Eunuch Zhang to prepare all the things I need. I have nothing I lack."
The Queen gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "Since you've just entered the palace, the Emperor will naturally dote on you a little more. But you must know that flowers don't bloom forever, and people don't stay happy forever. All the concubines in the harem have been through it..."
Emperor Jiahe thought the empress was going to say something, but he didn't expect that she was trying to win him over. She also hoped that Concubine Bei would give her the child to raise. After all, as the son of the Empress, she had a greater chance of succeeding to the throne.
In the Queen's view, even if Bei Guipin's father was granted the title of Earl, it could not change the fact that he was of merchant origin.
She felt that any concubine would be tempted by her proposal and would not refuse it.
You have to know that not all the concubines in the harem are attractive to her.
However, the queen only said this. She had no hope for a woman who was divorced because she had no children. She said this just to win over Concubine Bei. Her purpose was still to care about the emperor.
Over the years, Emperor Jiahe's harem had no children, but no one thought that Emperor Jiahe was in poor health. The concubines still hoped that Emperor Jiahe would visit them and give birth to a prince.
The Queen was no exception. Emperor Jiahe had not slept with her for a long time. The Queen was sad, so she thought of winning over Concubine Bei and taking the opportunity to restore her relationship with Emperor Jiahe.
Emperor Jiahe sneered.
The Queen is so calculating.
He never knew she was so cunning before. He thought she was simple and easy to be plotted against in the harem, so he protected her everywhere and let Concubine Jing, who gave birth to the second princess, sit on the position of Concubine, suppressing the four Concubines Shu, Hui, De and Xian.
He always thought about her, but she repaid him like this.
"I only obey the emperor."
Emperor Jiahe said this and bowed to the Empress, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave."
The Queen watched Emperor Jiahe leave with a gloomy face, and dropped the teacup in her hand with a bang.
"I don't know what's good for me."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. It is not easy to survive in this palace. Concubine Bei has become arrogant because of her favor. She will cry in the future." The palace servants hurried forward to comfort her.
The queen stroked her belly gently and said, "But the emperor won't come. How can I get pregnant with a prince again?"
"The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month will be your chance. Do you still remember the incident when Fifth Master was visited by someone?"
The queen was startled. "You are talking about Hua Niang."
"That's right. Back then, Hua Niang came to the house pregnant. Fifth Master denied having any relationship with Hua Niang, let alone the child in Hua Niang's belly. Hua Niang gave birth on the spot. At the time, no one could tell that the child looked like Fifth Master, so Hua Niang and the child were sent away. Later, when Hua Niang's son grew up, he looked like Fifth Master, and the Fifth Madam, who had been keeping a close eye on him, was caught off guard..."
The trusted palace maid didn't say anything else, but the queen also knew about it, and it was no secret in the family.
The Queen shook her head. "No, I am the Queen. How can I use a drug like that? If the Emperor finds out, I will lose my position as Queen."
"That drug is not easy to find, but it can easily harm the body. Later, when the Fifth Madam became pregnant and gave birth, she must have taken that drug."
The queen was moved after hearing this.
"Go back in person and tell my mother to get in touch with Fifth Aunt."
Emperor Jiahe has been in a bad mood these past two days as he has been walking around the harem as Bei Lingyao.
When I returned to Yongshou Palace and saw Zhang De, I knew that Bei Lingyao was in the study.
He walked towards the study.
The system's voice has already sounded from Bei Lingyao's side:
[Host, ten seconds left. Ten, nine, eight, seven... four, three, two, one]
Bang!
Bei Lingyao and Jia Hedi bumped into each other at the door and fell to the ground.
When he opened his eyes again, the man was on the bottom and the woman was on the top, their eyes met...
