Xiao Yunyao wanted to help, but as Tang Zhaoyi was in a higher position, she could not be blamed for using the handle in Lu Guiren's words to punish a lower position.
All I can say is that you should be careful when speaking in front of Chen Fei's followers in the future.
When Concubine Jing saw this, she changed the subject and said:
"There are many new people in the palace now, and it looks lively. Concubine Wen looks like your sister. When I see you, I think of my old friend..."
Wen Shutang smiled lightly, "My sister and I are from the same mother, so we are indeed a little bit similar."
Roupin's eyes fell on her. Ever since she heard that Wenpin's sister was selected, she had been worried.
but……
She knew very well that the Second Prince was only raised by her, not adopted by her.
Even if Concubine Wen wanted to look after the Second Prince personally and beg for grace from His Majesty, she was powerless to do so.
The child had been motherless since birth, and she had been raising him personally day and night.
A true mother-son relationship has developed in these two years.
Concubine Rou was reluctant, but she could only force a smile and said, "Zhaoyi Wen, you can come and see the Second Prince more often when you have time."
"My sister passed away early, and my father and I were extremely worried about the Second Prince. But later we heard that Concubine Rou took very good care of him, so we felt relieved." Wen Shutang said with a smile.
I don’t know whether she thinks it’s better for her to have a child herself since she is young, or whether she is just saying it superficially.
But at least she didn't show any intention of snatching the second prince away immediately.
Roupin's nervousness eased a little, and she looked at Wen Shutang sincerely and said:
"I have received your majesty's love and care. I will do my best to raise the Second Prince. Consort Wen, please come and visit us often if you have time."
Roupin’s meaning was very clear.
She knew that the Second Prince was a member of the Wen family, and she had never thought of competing with the Wen family. She was just a dedicated foster mother and would not instigate the Second Prince to become estranged from the Wen family. Everyone could work together to take good care of the Second Prince.
Helian Qi chose her to be the second prince's adoptive mother because she was gentle and sincere, and very suitable for raising a child.
"Yes." Wen Shutang responded with a smile.
Seeing this, Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Now the Second Prince has someone who loves him. This is a good thing."
The atmosphere was harmonious.
From outside the door came Xiao Guizi's singing voice, "The Empress Chen is here!"
Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted:
"Your humble concubine/your humble concubine pays respect to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen! May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
Ning Wanyin did not go in and sit down. She just stopped after entering the hall, stood in front of the door, looked at everyone and said:
"No need to be polite. It's getting late. I see everyone is here. Go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother."
"Yes." Everyone obeyed.
The newlyweds were a little surprised at the Concubine Chen's decisiveness in not even touching the chair.
At first, Concubine Shu was almost always the first one to sit there.
She really enjoyed this atmosphere of being in a superior position.
The concubines of lower rank fawned on her, and she was treated like a queen, the center of attention.
But Ning Wanyin simply fulfilled her duties as the head of all concubines and took the concubines to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
Really, just bring it for once.
In the Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Xue was very kind and gave jewelry to all the newly promoted concubines.
Finally, he looked at Xiao Yunyao and praised:
"Your brother is a loyal man for the country, and you share His Majesty's worries and assist in the affairs of the six palaces. You are truly a pair of heroes."
Xiao Yunyao bowed modestly, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, thank you for your praise. I will do my best."
Tang Miaoling curled her lips when she saw this scene.
This year the old woman is really amiable. Three years ago, you fucked whoever slept with you, why don't you do it this year?
Empress Dowager Xue did not publicly show concern for the Xue family's daughter like she did three years ago, but instead she praised Xiao Yunyao like the emperor did.
After a few words, he let everyone go.
She doesn't care about the affairs of the six palaces now.
In the past, the emperor used Ning Wanyin to contain the Xue family.
Ning Wanyin is one of them, while the Xue family is an outsider. With the emperor’s partiality and the situation of the emperor’s power, the Xue family will only be at a disadvantage if they continue to compete with Ning Wanyin.
So Empress Dowager Xue simply gave up her power, and Ning Wanyin's family became the only one in charge of the harem.
As expected...
The emperor will not let the harem fall into the hands of one person, so he has arranged for a newcomer and Ning Wanyin to act as a check and balance.
Now Xiao Yunyao is his person, and Ning Wanyin is also his person. If these two people fight, who will the emperor help?
With the Xue family in their current situation, Queen Mother Xue no longer seeks the position of queen.
As long as there is one person in the palace, let's watch these people fight. Of course, if there is a chance, Queen Mother Xue will not miss it.
Let's wait and see.
…
The day after the six palaces paid their respects, something happened in the Linyuan Division.
The Forest and Garden Department is one of the 24 departments of the Imperial Household Department, and it is the department in charge of the cultivation and pruning of flowers, plants and trees.
They were responsible for taking care of the Imperial Gardens and flower beds throughout the palace.
The company has a greenhouse where various flowers are grown.
They would go outside the palace to purchase once a month, mainly to buy some rare flowers to fill the vacancies in the greenhouse, or to send them to various palaces. This was a relatively large expense for the Forest Garden Department.
This time...
The flowers bought by the eunuch Zhao Lou were fresh and beautiful at the time, but the next day the flower buds all fell off, the branches and leaves turned yellow, and they all died.
In view of such a huge mistake, Concubine Kang immediately sent the eunuch in charge of the matter to the Criminal Court for interrogation and investigation, and then went to the Ganxin Palace to apologize to the emperor.
Ganxin Palace.
The eunuch Wu Mi reported:
"Your Majesty, after investigation, I found that the flowers purchased by the Forest Garden Department looked fresh, but in fact they were dying defective products that were preserved with some potions. Without the potions, they would wither immediately. After interrogation, Zhao Lou confessed that the price of these flowers was 30% of the market price."
