Chapter 200 is indeed wonderful.
This turn of events was completely beyond Shangguan Jin's expectations.
Wait a minute, wasn't Empress Xu's intention to bring Zheng Mengdie to Prince Qin's residence?
Then, watching the Qin Prince's Mansion become lively?
What about now?
Did Emperor Xiao Jing benefit from this?
Or is there some unexpected change in the process?
Shangguan Jin looked at Aunt Xin, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is Chun Buwan also talking about this matter?"
"It's still a bit early, but quite a few people have already arrived. The first floor of Chunbuwan is almost full."
Madam, there's more!
It wasn't just that the Emperor favored Zheng's granddaughter last night.
His Highness the King of Qin also took two beauties as concubines last night; I heard they're stunning twins!
Shangguan Jin...
Good heavens! They were laughing and joking in the Linde Hall last night, and now the back hall is filled with laughter too...
"Alright, you're going to be a female tutor, so don't listen to these kinds of things."
Go ahead, and if you hear anything important, just come back and tell me.
You can go back to Chunbu first. When you get back, tell Wanli that I'll be taking Yaojie and Dongmai over for tea this afternoon.
Tell her to reserve the private room.
As soon as Shangguan Jin finished speaking, Aunt Xin hummed in agreement and then turned and left.
Shangguan Jin originally wanted to ask her about the price of those two pairs of bracelets.
But then I thought, oh well, I'll have plenty of time to ask!
I guess Aunt Xin herself is eager to go back and hear the latest news...
......
Just after lunch, Shangguan Jin took Dongmai and Shen Qingyue to Chunbuwan.
The private room was ready in advance, the incense was lit, and everything was in place.
Hua Yueniang and Hua Wanli were also waiting in the private room early on.
"I knew Madam Shen would come over after lunch."
"Come, sit down, Miss, please sit down too," Hua Yueniang said with a smile.
Shangguan Jin smiled and sat down on the soft couch. The tea lady quickly took her place, and another clever little maid was also serving her.
Dongmai told Shangguan Jin and then went downstairs to get the latest news.
As soon as the fragrant tea was served, Shangguan Jin took a sip, and Hua Yueniang glanced at the little maid.
The little girl immediately understood.
“News came out of the palace early in the morning.”
Yesterday, when the imperial family was hosting a banquet for officials and their families, they happened to run into the second young lady of the Zheng family.
That Miss Zheng was lively and clever, with a radiant smile, and she was very much to the emperor's liking.
Having served the imperial family so well, early this morning the imperial family bestowed upon Miss Zheng the title of Consort Die and granted her residence in Ronghua Pavilion.
"The imperial decree of bestowal should have already reached the Duke of Anguo's residence," the little maid said, enunciating each word clearly.
Shangguan Jin glanced at the little girl and understood.
This must have been arranged by Hua Yue Niang specifically for the ladies and young women, in case it was inconvenient for them to come downstairs.
"Oh? Anything else?" Shangguan Jin asked with a smile.
"Also, the two beauties who were originally going to perform for the royal family went to the wrong palace and ran into His Highness the King of Qin."
His Highness the King of Qin drank too much and lost control of himself, taking two beauties as concubines.
However, the imperial family did not blame Prince Qin, but instead allowed him to take the two beauties back to his residence. The little maid continued.
Shangguan Jin understood what had happened.
As for what the tea drinkers on the first floor might say, Shangguan Jin didn't care.
It's nothing more than how beautiful a person is, how deep their thoughts are, and how jealous the people in the palace are...
After saying this, the little girl carefully withdrew.
Shangguan Jin glanced in the direction the little girl had gone.
Yes, they probably went downstairs to continue listening to the news, then organized their thoughts and will continue talking about it later.
Only Shangguan Jin, Hua Yueniang, Hua Wanli, Shen Qingyue, and a tea lady remained in the private room.
"Alright, you can go now. Wanli can continue brewing later." Huayue Niang gestured for the tea maid to leave as well.
After the tea lady left, Hua Yue Niang clicked her tongue twice.
"This palace doesn't seem any better than the brothels outside!"
A brothel is a place where businesses are conducted openly and honestly.
The palace, huh...
"Alright, it's not like this every day. These two things were arranged by someone, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence."
"Regardless, the news spread so quickly, it must have been intentional on someone's part," Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Hua Yueniang also smiled.
Yes, the news spread so fast, there must be someone stirring things up!
"Mother, who could it be?" Hua Wanli asked curiously.
Hua Yueniang glanced at her daughter, then at Shen Qingyue, who was covering her mouth and chuckling to herself.
"Young Miss, would you like to tell Wan Li about it?"
Shen Qingyue nodded, then took Hua Wanli's hand and said, "Who else could it be? Who else but the Empress could hold the entire harem in her hands?"
Moreover, the Empress herself must have arranged for these messages to be released.
The Duke of Anguo's mansion not only produced an empress and an empress dowager, but also a concubine.
In the eyes of the world, the girls of the Duke of Anguo's mansion had the best manners.
But precisely because of this, the second young lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion used the palace banquet as an opportunity to entangle herself with the imperial family last night, which is why she is despicable.
After all, whether it was the Empress Dowager or the Imperial Concubine, they were all formally appointed and went through the most proper procedures.
Miss Zheng's actions undoubtedly humiliated the Duke of Anguo's family.
What kind of well-bred lady is she? She was raised by the best nannies.
In the end, aren't they just like those ordinary palace maids?
I guessed that Miss Zheng's original target should have been the King of Qin, but by some twist of fate she encountered the imperial family instead.
Those two beauties were probably prepared by the Empress Dowager for the imperial family, but they encountered the King of Qin.
In short, they were able to calculate everything to this extent.
Furthermore, she was able to thwart the Empress Dowager's plans; only the Empress in the entire palace possessed this ability.
Mother, am I right?
After Shen Qingyue finished speaking, she looked at Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin nodded.
"That's absolutely right, that's exactly how it is."
Hua Yueniang grew to like Shen Qingyue more and more as she looked at her.
Look, this same girl, even a few years younger than Wan Li, can analyze things to this extent...
Looking at Hua Wanli, who still seemed confused, Hua Yueniang immediately understood.
It's definitely not my fault. I'm so smart, it must be that dad's fault.
All he ever does is fight and kill; his daughter is just like him.
Thinking about this, Hua Yue Niang suddenly thought of a question.
If Wanli needs to borrow sperm in the future, she definitely can't find someone with such good stamina...
The better a child's physical strength, the more likely they are to resemble someone else...
"But why would the Empress do this? Isn't this just pushing a man into her own man's arms?"
"Mother, would you put another woman in Father's arms?" Hua Wanli suddenly asked.
Huayue Niang......
Shangguan Jin, Shen Qingyue...
