Xiao Yuchen renovated a new palace for Zhu Xianyue, the Guanju Palace.
Zhu Xianyue was named Shufei and lived in Guanju Palace.
To celebrate Zhu Xianyue's pregnancy, Xiao Yuchen ordered Fang Wanrou to prepare a banquet.
Fang Wanrou felt unwilling...
This little bitch is so lucky!
However, most of Xiao Yuchen's children died young.
She felt that Zhu Xianyue's baby would definitely not survive.
Fang Wanrou hosted this banquet in an extremely luxurious manner.
Give Zhu Xianyue enough face.
But at the banquet, a trace of sadness flashed across Xiao Yuchen's brows.
He seemed to be cursed. Not only was it difficult for him to conceive, but his children also never grew up.
When Yin Liuli became pregnant, he was very happy and directly appointed her as a royal concubine even though she was a hairdressing maid.
Now that Zhu Xianyue is pregnant, he originally wanted to confer the title of imperial concubine on her.
But Zhu Xianyue said that the blessing was too great and might affect the fetus in her womb.
So she only asked for the position of Concubine Shu.
The Imperial Concubine is the head of the imperial concubines, and the Shu Concubine is the last of the four concubines.
He promised her.
But I didn't expect Fang Wanrou to hold such a grand banquet.
I wonder if Zhu Xianyue's suspicions were confirmed and it might have harmed the baby in her womb...
Xiao Yuchen, sitting on the dragon throne, looked down.
Sure enough, Zhu Xianyue looked unhappy.
As a mother, she should be more worried.
She was clearly the protagonist of the night, but she excused herself from feeling unwell and went back to Guanju Palace to rest early.
Fang Wanrou didn't know about the private conversation between Xiao Yuchen and Zhu Xianyue, and just thought that Zhu Xianyue was really feeling unwell.
Humph, it’s better if she leaves!
Fang Wanrou stayed behind to take charge of the situation.
Invite all the concubines to enjoy singing and dancing, and write poems to liven up the atmosphere.
Wasn't Zhu Xianyue able to win over the concubines? But Fang Wanrou believed that Zhu Xianyue used inferior means.
So Fang Wanrou used this elegant way to keep the hearts of the concubines.
She believed that through this comparison, everyone would easily notice the gap between her and Zhu Xianyue.
But she forgot that she was already thirty years old.
Most of the concubines were only in their teens.
In this palace, the flowers are the same every year, but the people are different every year.
It's no longer her era.
The young concubines were playful and did not want to watch the boring singing and dancing in the center of the banquet, which was mainly centered around prayers.
I don’t even want to write any poetry.
...It would be better to play the flower drum with Concubine Shu.
Xiao Yuchen also noticed that the concubines were not interested.
Only Fang Wanrou managed to hold the scene.
Xiao Yuchen spoke up and asked the banquet to end early.
The concubines from each palace returned to the palace to rest.
He went to visit Concubine Shu.
Before leaving, he said, "Empress, even though the treasury is full now, we cannot waste money like this for an unborn child."
"Not only will it damage the child's fortune, but it will also cause resentment among the people."
"I think Concubine Shu is intelligent and farsighted. You can ask her more about how to govern when you have free time."
"After all, she came from the status of a slave, and she knows how to win the hearts of the people below her."
"Queen, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Go back and think carefully about this."
After he left, Fang Wanrou stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Your Majesty...how can you let her learn from a concubine?
And she's just a lowly maid from the imperial palace?!
At this age, Fang Wanrou no longer wants to be backward compatible.
Moreover, it was the first time that she encountered Xiao Yuchen doting on a palace concubine so much, and she felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't accept it.
She lost her temper and threw a lot of things.
On the way back, he drank a lot of wine.
