The emperor rewarded a group of imperial doctors and midwives.
Finally, he rewarded Shunpin with a bunch of gold and jade items.
Because she was pregnant, she had been promoted to concubine and given a title, so her status did not change.
But judging from the emperor's favor to Shunpin, he was also very satisfied with having a princess.
A few days later, Changchun Palace.
"Master, I heard that Ning has now been promoted to Zhaoyi..." Chunque said angrily, "His Majesty has not even promoted you..."
"If I give birth to a prince, His Majesty may make an exception and promote me to the first rank, but I will only be a princess... Alas..." Shunpin lay on the couch, feeling sad.
She knew that His Majesty was indifferent to her, and that this pregnancy was a blessing from God...
I don’t know when the next favor will be.
"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty... I see that His Majesty is still very happy. His Majesty also often goes to Linlang Palace to visit the eldest princess... Now that you have a second princess, His Majesty often comes to see the child, you still have a chance..." Chunque comforted.
Shunpin thought about it and realized that it was indeed true!
She wasn’t favored before, but now that she has a daughter, that may not be the case in the future!
"Quick, prepare a generous gift. I want to thank Ning Zhaoyi." Shunpin's originally depressed look suddenly became radiant. She looked at Chunque and warned:
"You fool! Don't you still need to rely on Ning's help to protect your baby next time you get pregnant? But don't say anything rude in front of her!"
Chunque suddenly realized and quickly covered her mouth, "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this... I will continue to hold Concubine Ning in my arms!"
…
Lingxue Pavilion is filled with rewards from His Majesty Jin Zhaoyi.
Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya also sent gifts to congratulate them.
"Master, Changchun Palace sent a top-grade jade pillow, which is a rare and precious item." Lian Rui said while holding the gift box:
"I thought Shunpin would stop being so polite to you after she gave birth... She doesn't seem like someone who would repay a favor."
Ning Wanyin said calmly, "Maybe he thinks I may still need it in the future."
"She hopes to look for you next time? This is really..." Lian Rui was speechless for a moment.
"It doesn't matter..." Ning Wanyin didn't care what Shunpin thought.
She was promoted to Zhaoyi and assisted in the management of the six palaces. She got all the benefits she deserved and did all the things she was supposed to do.
We’ll talk about the future later.
…
At dusk, the Holy Chariot descended.
Ning Wanyin met Helian Qi and entered the warm room, and they had dinner together.
"I have something to ask for, Your Majesty." Ning Wanyin looked at Helian Qi, hesitating to speak.
Helian Qi knew that she never asked him to do anything easily, so he was willing to give her some grace:
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"I am grateful to your majesty for your kindness and help manage the six palaces. However, the affairs of the six palaces are complicated, and I don't have many people I trust... I want to select a group of palace servants to come in." Ning Wanyin looked a little embarrassed:
"Your Majesty, you also know that this trust is not gained overnight..."
Helian Qi understood her hidden meaning.
She wanted to send a group of her people to the palace by selecting palace maids. The two dukes and four marquises have always done this...
The chess pieces that they had trained themselves were disguised as commoner girls with clean backgrounds and sent in when selecting palace maids.
This matter was done by others, so Ning Wanyin naturally did it too.
But she looked at him anxiously, as if she was afraid that he would be angry, and she felt helpless:
"I can't just rely on the emperor's people. His Majesty also needs people to serve him. There are so many things to do in the six palaces. If I rely on myself to take care of them, I really can't take care of them all..."
Helian Qi reached out and rubbed her head, his expression gentle, "I promise you."
"Your Majesty... do you... understand what I mean?" Ning Wanyin looked at him with watery eyes.
Helian Qi chuckled and flicked her forehead with his finger, "How could I not understand? Wanwan, I believe in you, just go ahead and do it..."
"Your Majesty, you are so kind..." Ning Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows and eyes curved with joy.
The emperor was most averse to the families of dukes and marquises sending people to the palace.
Even if Ning Wanyin didn't tell him about this, he wouldn't object, because he knew that if Ning Wanyin wanted to take power, she would need a group of capable and reliable people to do things for her.
Otherwise, if you have power but no manpower, even if you try to do things reluctantly, there will be loopholes everywhere.
Since he let Ning Wanyin take power, he naturally had to allow her to cultivate her own people.
She tacitly agreed to send someone to the palace.
but……
Ning Wanyin came to discuss this matter with him, and Helian Qi understood that she knew his taboos and didn't want to become his taboos. But she couldn't not do it, and in a dilemma, she could only be honest with him and ask for his grace.
She values their friendship so much...
The slight resentment in Helian Qi's heart also disappeared.
The little girl was thinking about him all the time, and Helian Qi was a little happy in his heart, and he asked Ning Wanyin twice more...
It was not until dawn when Helian Qi went to court that Ning Wanyin had time to go to bed.
"Master, His Majesty really responds to your every request..." Lian Rui said happily.
Ning Wanyin knew that the emperor would agree.
But she still asked.
The biggest taboo when working for the emperor is that you think you are working for the emperor. If the emperor allows you to do so, you can do whatever you want...
Some things still need to be done, but if you tell the emperor about it, the impression he will have on you will be very different.
It is the little things that are most likely to cause trouble.
Be careful.
…
The first thing Ning Wanyin did after taking charge of the six palaces was to select a group of palace maids to enter the palace.
She wrote a letter to her mother in advance, and Cheng immediately sent all the people she named to participate in the selection of palace maids...
