So... how could it be useless? It's incredibly useful!
Lin Chunhuan's hands were shaking with excitement. After a while, he looked up at Chunyu, who was full of curiosity. "What I said today..."
Before she even finished speaking, the curiosity in Chunyu's eyes had completely disappeared. "Your Majesty's instructions are all understood by this servant. Your Majesty, rest assured. I will ensure that the rewards given today are properly distributed among the people below."
"There's absolutely no room for error!"
Seeing Chunyu's tact, Lin Chunhuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Okay, go and do your job."
"If you complete this task, I will give you the hairpin with the magpie-on-a-plum pattern today."
Chunyu happily agreed. As for whether she would go back on her word and retaliate, Lin Chunhuan was not worried at all. It would be soon anyway, even if Chunyu really had that intention.
She will also be pressed to death in the cradle by herself.
Today's morning court seemed particularly long.
August 18th is Concubine Shu's birthday. Although she was very annoyed by the fact that the bitch Concubine Zhen stayed overnight in Weiyang Palace yesterday, she still prepared a table of food early today.
Because her birthday was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, there had never been a big celebration. However, at this time every year, no matter how busy the emperor was, he would go to her Yongshou Palace for lunch.
So Concubine Shu kept waiting.
But by the time the food had gotten cold, the emperor still hadn't shown up.
Instead, the eunuch in charge of Yongshou Palace ran back in a panic with a pale face.
When he saw Concubine Shu, he fell to his knees without saying a word.
Concubine Shu frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, "I asked you to go and invite the emperor, but you, a eunuch, came back on your own. Are you looking for death?"
"Empress Shufei!" The eunuch's voice was trembling, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of panic. "The Weiyang Palace has issued an edict, canonizing Zhenfei as, as Zhenguifei."
"Eunuch Zhang has already arrived with the imperial edict at Changchun Palace!"
After just a few words, the eunuch's head was covered with sweat and his hands and feet were so stiff that he could hardly move.
Concubine Shu was so frightened that she stood up directly from her chair. In her excitement, the armrest of the chair tore a small piece of her carefully maintained nails.
She hissed in pain and gasped.
There wasn't much blood flowing from the fingertips, and someone had already hurried forward to bandage it. But looking at that streak of red, Concubine Shu felt even more uneasy.
My heart felt sore and swollen, with a dull pain.
"Your Majesty..." The eunuch in charge raised his head slightly, "Please take care of yourself!"
"Your Majesty, do you really think so highly of that bitch?" Concubine Shu murmured to herself, her eyes slightly red, trying hard not to cry.
She was an old resident of the palace, and she entered the palace as a concubine just after she came of age.
After all, this was the person she had fallen in love with since she was young. Even though the emperor had been indifferent to her over the years, even though she knew that this indifference was only because her mother's family still had value to them.
But Concubine Shu couldn't convince herself not to care.
In this world, women’s world is very small, so small that it seems to only accommodate one man. When the man is happy, she is happy too. When the man is sad, she is sad too.
In the past, she was the first person under the empress, so she would think that the emperor should still care about her. Except for the empress, he never let anyone surpass her, the concubine.
But at this moment, all of Concubine Shu's self-deception was broken.
A newcomer who had just entered the palace a few days ago, a bitch from a brothel, actually... climbed over her head so easily.
With her mind in a mess, Concubine Shu remained silent for a long time. Finally, she vomited a mouthful of blood, her eyes rolled back and she fell into coma!
Yongshou Palace was in chaos.
Meanwhile, the Changchun Palace was filled with joy. Chunyu's face flushed with excitement as she bowed deeply to Lin Chunhuan, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"From now on, you will be the only one in this harem!"
Chunyu's eyes were clear. Lin Chunhuan stared at her for a long time, which made Chunyu feel a little uncomfortable. Then he looked away slightly and said, "Get up."
"Eunuch Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Lin Chunhuan gave a look, and Chunyu handed the bag full of money to Eunuch Zhang.
One could tell at a glance that the amount far exceeded the amount the master usually gave as a reward.
However, being promoted to a noble concubine was a great joy, and the errand fee was also a good omen, so there was no reason to refuse. Although Eunuch Zhang felt that the share was inappropriate, he did not postpone it.
In other words, given his current status, he wouldn't care about a little more or a little more money.
But the one in front of him was able to become a royal concubine in just a few days from a place like a brothel. It can be seen that she is the apple of the emperor's eye.
Unless necessary, it is better to make friends than to offend.
Eunuch Zhang has a fair complexion and no beard, so he should be about the same age as Mama Zhuang. Perhaps the food and clothing in the palace are more nourishing, so he looks much younger than Mama Zhuang.
Lin Chunhuan really couldn't imagine how these two people had any connection.
However, she is still far from reaching the point where she has no other choice...it is even possible that she will never reach that point.
In addition, there were so many people around that she hesitated for a moment and held the dusty purse tightly in her hand without taking it out. She respectfully sent Eunuch Zhang away.
There is absolutely no intention of recognizing each other.
Originally, after the morning court session, according to the rules, the emperor should go to Kunning Palace and wait with the empress for the newly arrived concubine to come and pay her respects. However, when Lin Chunhuan arrived, he was nowhere to be seen.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress."
The kneeling ceremony was a bit awkward, but fortunately there was nothing wrong.
The queen was dressed in formal attire, standing in front with a warm and dignified smile on her face. She had a kind of nobility that could not be cultivated in a small family. Every movement she made was just right, as if she had practiced it thousands of times.
If I have to describe it, I can only say that this woman has been trained to be a qualified queen since she was born, year after year, to become what she is today.
As for appearance...
The queen is also beautiful, dignified and righteous. She is the appearance most loved by the elders, but also the appearance least liked by men.
It’s not that Lin Chunhuan had not seen the queen before, but the emperor was always by her side. If you think about it carefully, the two of them had never really spoken to each other.
The Queen noticed her awkward manner and smiled nonchalantly, "Princess Guigui, please stand up and take a seat."
"The Emperor should have come today, but it's just a matter of state affairs... Alas, the Regent has been making more and more small moves in recent years. If the Emperor doesn't suppress him..."
Halfway through her words, the Queen seemed to realize that these words should not be said in front of the concubines, but when her eyes fell on Lin Chunhuan, she saw that she just lowered her head, as if she didn't hear it, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
