Chapter 421 Do you have anything else to say?
Wang Decai reluctantly took the rewards returned by Bai Wutong and turned to head towards Su Zhaoyi's palace.
Although these are items that the Queen disliked, each of them is a real treasure. Taking out any one of them will make people marvel.
When Su Zhaoyi saw Wang Decai coming in with the reward, her eyes lit up instantly and she couldn't stop smiling. Her face was filled with a smug smile, "Eunuch Wang, thank you for making this trip. Please tell the emperor that I like these rewards so much. I am so happy!"
"Yes, Su Zhaoyi, you're too polite." Wang Decai stood there with his head bowed, showing no intention of leaving.
He waited for a long time, but Su Zhaoyi seemed to have not noticed at all and had no intention of taking out gold leaves as a reward.
Wang Decai felt a little dissatisfied but he didn't show it on his face and said goodbye and left.
He had served in the palace for many years and had accumulated countless wealth. What he cared about was not the reward money, but the attitude of everyone in the palace towards him.
He couldn't help but compare in his mind, Bai Wutong would never forget to reward even when he was angry, unlike Su Zhaoyi, who was so tactless!
The eunuch beside him saw that he looked unhappy and immediately understood something. He reminded him in a low voice, "Eunuch Wang, have you forgotten? One time, Zhaoyi Su wanted to stay with the emperor overnight, and you reminded the emperor that it was the first day of the new year and he had to go to the queen's palace. Since then, Zhaoyi Su has looked at you in a strange way."
After hearing this, Wang Decai sneered, she is just a favored Zhaoyi, yet she dares to be so presumptuous!
If his position gets higher in the future, who knows what even more outrageous things he will do!
In that case, don’t blame him for saying a few more words in front of the emperor!
Wang Decai holds a high status in the palace, and everyone in the palace is extremely polite to him. This is not only because he has served the emperor for many years, but more importantly, he is always by the emperor's side.
Sometimes, a casual word from him could plant different ideas in the emperor's mind and have unexpected effects.
He hurried back to the Yangxin Palace and reported to Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su was very happy to receive the reward. She asked me to tell you that she likes it very much."
"Well, Su Zhaoyi is still sensible." Zhang Chengyan thought of Bai Wutong's determination to return the reward, and his anger rose again.
As he was speaking, he looked up and happened to see a look of hesitation on Wang Decai's face, but that expression was fleeting and he quickly returned to his usual respectful look.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I don't have it." Wang Decai said this, but there was obvious hesitation in his tone.
Zhang Chengyan frowned, "You dare to lie to me now?"
Wang Decai knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in awe, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
"Just tell me." Zhang Chengyan trusted him very much. After all, he had been with him since he was young. For more than 20 years, the two of them knew each other well.
Wang Decai has always been thoughtful and meticulous in his work, and more importantly, he always considers things from his own perspective.
Over the years, the Empress Dowager, the Queen, Concubine Jin and others all wanted to win him over, but none of them succeeded.
Such a loyal servant was naturally loved and trusted by Zhang Chengyan.
"That's right... When Su Zhaoyi saw these rewards, she was indeed very happy, but I think... maybe she just simply likes these properties, and is not really so happy because they were given by Your Majesty." Wang Decai bravely spoke out his thoughts.
Zhang Chengyan couldn't help but frown after hearing this, "You've never said such a thing before."
"I don't want to say too much..." Wang Decai's words had a hidden meaning, implying that if he hadn't asked, he would never dare to say such words easily.
"Okay, I got it." Zhang Chengyan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
On the other side, Su Zhaoyi looked at the room full of rare treasures with great joy. She picked up one and examined it carefully, then touched another and couldn't let it go. She kept muttering, "Do you think this queen has lost her mind? She didn't want so many good things and even irritated the emperor. Now, I get all the good things. I really don't know how she became the queen. Could it be all luck?"
When the palace maids nearby heard this, they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
luck?
In this harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones, luck alone is far from enough to survive!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that Bai Wutong was able to successfully give birth to four children is something that not everyone can do.
Many concubines have failed in the process of getting pregnant and giving birth, not to mention that the situation in the harem was far more complicated than it is now.
With the Queen and Concubine Jin around, Bai Wutong was able to gain a firm foothold. That was real skill!
But the palace maids could only keep these words in their hearts, and no one dared to speak them out loud.
At this time, the personal maid Su Zhaoyi brought from home came forward and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should go to the Yangxin Palace in person to thank the emperor in person. If you do this, the emperor will definitely be happier and will love you even more."
When Su Zhaoyi heard this, she thought it made sense and nodded repeatedly, "You are absolutely right! By the way, spread today's incident in the palace and let everyone know! Come, help me dress up and put on all these beautiful jewelry. I want the emperor to see the most beautiful me!"
So she dressed up carefully and put on all the usable jewelry that Zhang Chengyan had given her. With her hair full of pearls and jade, she looked radiant and glorious, and went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a proud look on her face.
Zhang Chengyan was already upset about Bai Wutong's matter, and when he saw Su Zhaoyi dressed up and coming in such a high profile, his brows frowned slightly.
Especially when he saw her wearing all the rewards, and remembered Bai Wutong's disdainful attitude towards these rewards, coupled with what Wang Decai said before, he inexplicably felt that Su Zhaoyi in front of him was a little dazzling.
"Your Majesty, please look at me. Do I look good dressed like this?" Su Zhaoyi said in a tender voice. She fluttered to his side like a light butterfly, slightly raised her little face, and revealed what she thought was the most charming angle at just the right angle.
Every time she looked at the emperor with her deer-like wet eyes, she could easily win his favor.
"Well, it looks good. It seems that you like these things I rewarded you with very much." Zhang Chengyan nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on her for a moment, his tone somewhat meaningful.
"Of course, I have never seen such exquisite objects in my life!" Su Zhaoyi's cheeks flushed with excitement and she kept talking.
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyan's thoughts involuntarily drifted to Bai Wutong.
She seldom wore the jewelry she had given herself as a gift, and her daily attire was always simple and elegant, never trying to be ostentatious.
However, every time she received a reward, the joy in her eyes was sincere and pure. It was the cherishment of the kindness rather than the greed for the money itself!
In comparison, Su Zhaoyi's love for rewards seems too straightforward and materialistic, while Bai Wutong's feelings are more pure.
"Your Majesty, why are you silent?" Su Zhaoyi couldn't help but grumble when she saw Zhang Chengyan fall silent. She also deliberately reached out and gently stroked the hairpin on her head. "Your Majesty, look, you just gave this hairpin to me, and I can't wait to wear it."
As she spoke, she stood up and turned lightly, her skirt fluttering and the jewels on her body jingling, "Your Majesty, do you like it? How about letting me stay and serve you tonight?"
