Yan Gui Hall
Di Zixiao waited for a long time but saw no sign of Xiao Lu returning, so he called in Dongzi, the palace eunuch assigned to him by Di Man. "Why has Xiao Lu been gone for so long? Go out and take a look."
Dongzi took the order and left. After a while, he returned with the news, "To answer your Majesty, Xiao Lu has offended His Majesty and has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
"What?"
Di Zixiao looked incredulous, "Why hasn't anyone asked me?"
Dongzi rolled his eyes subtly. He used to serve Di Man and had always looked down on Di Zixiao's condescending attitude. He replied bluntly, "Your Majesty is the Empress of Dayong. Naturally, you can punish anyone you want without asking anyone for permission."
Di Zixiao's face suddenly darkened. "How dare you! Slap me in the face!"
In the past, Dongzi would have slapped himself without even saying a word, but in this situation, Di Zixiao had clearly fallen out of favor, and how could Dongzi take a male favorite who had fallen out of favor seriously?
He pretended to be serious, saying, "If the lord wants to punish me, I have to accept it, but in the palace, punishments must have a reason. Let me ask you, isn't Your Majesty the empress in this palace? Or can Your Majesty not punish anyone as you please? If the lord points out that I've said something wrong, I wouldn't mind being spanked, let alone a cane."
Di Zixiao's face turned completely black. Under normal circumstances, he would have cut his throat without hesitation, but now that Xiao Lu's life or death was unknown, coupled with Di Man's abnormal behavior, he didn't dare to act rashly. He threw the book in his hand fiercely at Dong Zi's face, "Get out!"
...
However, this was just the beginning. As soon as Di Zixiao was demoted, Su Man punished the people around him. This made everyone in the palace know that Di Zixiao had fallen out of favor.
He used to be arrogant in the harem, and since he entered the palace, Diman has been intolerant of others. No matter who conflicts with him, Diman will punish them, so he has made many enemies in the palace.
When he was just demoted, everyone was afraid that Di Man would still have feelings for him, but now even his personal palace servant has been punished, which shows that Di Man has already despised him.
After Di Zixiao asked for tea three times and no one brought it to him, he finally got angry.
"You're just flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, huh? Just wait for me!"
-
The situation in Yangui Palace soon reached Su Man's ears, but at that time she was eating snacks made by Bai Cejun himself.
This Bai Cejun was not very old, and he wore a string of golden bells on his wrist. The crisp sound made him look lively.
"Your Majesty, is this cake delicious?"
Bai Cejun tilted his head with an expectant look on his face, his big round eyes were so touching that they could make people's hearts soften.
Su Man smiled and said, "It's delicious. Did you make it?"
Bai Cejun scratched his head sheepishly, "No, actually. I made it too unpalatable. The palace eunuch said that if I gave it to His Majesty, it would be considered an assassination."
"Haha." Su Man really laughed this time, "It's okay, as long as you have the intention."
Bai Cejun was indeed happy, "Great, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Cough cough cough."
Su Man almost choked. This kid looks innocent, but why is he so straightforward?
Lord Bai Ce was also anxious when he saw Su Man coughing, and hurriedly handed him some tea, "Your Majesty, please drink some water. I didn't poison you. What's wrong with you?"
Su Man swallowed the pastry in her mouth with a helpless look on her face. It seemed that this was a naive person.
She politely declined Bai Cejun's offer of marriage, and when Bai Cejun was very sad, she asked someone to open the warehouse and gave him a few kites.
Bai Cejun was indeed delighted, holding the kite tightly in his arms, "Your Majesty, you are so kind."
Su Man touched his head and said, "Go and play. From now on, I will give you all the little gadgets presented by the palace."
Bai Cejun cheered and ran out happily to thank En.
Su Man shook her head at his back.
In the deep palace, they all bear the honor and disgrace of their mother's family and their own glory, and are imprisoned in this deep palace for their entire lives without freedom.
It is also a good thing to be nicer to them and make them happier.
...
In this way, Su Man rested alone in the Qinzheng Hall that night.
Suman woke up early the next morning.
Seeing that the time was almost up, but no one had come in to serve, she called out, "Nong Shuang."
"Your Majesty? Are you awake?"
Nong Shuang looked surprised.
In the past, Diman was always late for the morning court, and would not leave until the clock struck. Now, she suddenly got up so early that Nongshuang was also confused.
Su Man realized her abnormality. She stretched and acted reluctantly, "Well, go prepare your court dress."
The court dress is a combination of gold and black, and the golden patterns on the black background appear extremely luxurious.
After putting it on, Su Man sat on a chair and Nong Shuang helped her comb her hair and put on the crown.
The person in the mirror had long eyebrows and upturned eyes. Although she did not have the tenderness that was common in women, she was very pretty.
Wearing the tassel crown, Suman's eyes were also blocked by the swaying tassels.
When Su Man stood up and looked back, Nong Shuang was stunned. For some reason, she always felt that Su Man today really had a bit more of a domineering aura.
-
When the emperor came to power, all the ministers were already waiting in the hall.
However, these ministers were all women, wearing dark blue court robes, and were discussing something in low voices in groups of three or four.
"The Queen has arrived."
The court officials hurried back to their seats. After Suman sat down, they all said in unison, "Your Majesty."
"Stand up."
Su Man looked around. Some people's greetings were extremely perfunctory, while others were confused.
