If one is out of favor, life is hard for oneself, and life is even harder for the palace servants. If life is hard for the palace servants, they will naturally not serve diligently, and life will be even harder for them. This cycle continues endlessly.
At this moment, Consort Nian was in a surprisingly good mood.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has been visiting you every day recently. If you ask me, His Majesty's affection for Your Majesty is truly unique!"
Consort Nian was quite pleased with this favor, and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, the Emperor is just feeling sorry for the child."
The palace maid smiled and said, "I'm not making this up. The chosen Consort Xi, not to mention Consort Yu, let's talk about Consort Jing. She had many discomforts during her pregnancy, but I never saw the Emperor care so much about her. He only occasionally accompanied her to have a meal."
Consort Nian smiled even more brightly: "You have such a sweet tongue, you know how to talk."
As she spoke, Consort Nian suddenly remembered that Yinzhen had been by her side for many days because she had gone through a miscarriage, and her mood inevitably became somewhat depressed. She asked, "The Emperor and the Empress both said that they had not found anyone behind the scenes, but I do not believe that the pebble just happened to appear under my feet. I asked you to investigate, but have you found any clues?"
The palace maid lowered her head: "This servant is incompetent. Most of the palace servants serving in the Yuanmingyuan were people arranged by the emperor when he was still a prince. Many of them came from the Lower Five Banners and were not prominent. If we investigate these people, we will find that they have been in contact with too many people."
The Imperial Concubine sighed, "Continue the investigation, but don't let the news leak out."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Empress could no longer tolerate Yinzhen's favoritism towards the Consort.
The Empress loved bamboo. There was a bamboo forest in the natural painting. However, sitting in the bamboo forest, the Empress did not feel any comfort, as she listened to Ulanara's constant complaints.
"...Your Majesty, since the Emperor is not coming, the people of the Imperial Household Department are groveling and fawning. The things that have been sent to me are barely usable. I beg Your Majesty to help me."
The Empress grew even more impatient after hearing this.
Compared to other newcomers of the same generation, Consort Ulanara's life was relatively good. The Empress took good care of her, and while the Imperial Household Department did engage in some backstabbing and flattery, it was within acceptable limits. However, the things she used were not as good as those used in the palace.
"I am the Empress, but I have no right to decide whose place the Emperor goes to at night. How do you want me to help you?"
The Empress's words shut down Consort Ulanara's words. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, you are the Empress. If you advise the Emperor to bestow his favors equally, the Emperor will have nothing to say."
