After Concubine Hua left, Bi Rou, who was beside Concubine Lan, couldn't help but remind, "Mistress, nubi sees that Concubine Hua's thoughts are treacherous and not easy to control. Mistress should be on guard against her."
After Zi Su inspected the "pearl powder", her face instantly paled. She closed the box tightly and warned, "Mistress, this box of pearl powder contains a lot of cold substances. Even though it can take effect quickly, it is still a strong medicine. Just a little bit is enough to make one choke. Mistress, you have to be careful. Do not go near this item."
Concubine Lan was stunned and said, "Is it really that scary? But it can be seen that Concubine Hua is really thinking for me. She even took out such a good thing. Compared to her sister who only knows how to make thunder but not rain, she is much better. "
Zi Su hurriedly reminded, "Mistress, you are confused. If it was really given by you, when something happens, wouldn't it be your fault? What does it have to do with Concubine Hua?"
Concubine Lan was also shocked. She then muttered, "She is only a fifteen-year-old girl who is protected by her sisters. She shouldn't have so many thoughts, right?"
Bi Rou sighed and said, "Niangniang, in this palace, even if you don't harm people, it doesn't mean that others won't harm you. You can't let your guard down!"
Luo Shuangyin had been loitering around the Red Fall Palace until night fell before she returned to the Dragon Subduing Palace. The moment she arrived at the Dragon Subduing Palace, someone reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yan invites you over."
Usually, the emperor would summon his concubines at the Wind Moon Hall. Of course, the concubines who had their own palace could also spend the night there. But according to the rules, only the concubines above the rank of concubine could spend the night with the emperor. In order to avoid a lot of trouble, Luoshuanga always called them directly to the Wind Moon Hall. Today, it was the first time that a lady had entered the bridal sedan chair.
In the Firefly Hall, Bai Suyan and Concubine Ning discussed for almost a day before coming up with a rough schedule and a detailed budget. Seeing that it was almost time to light the lanterns, Concubine Ning wanted to leave.
Bai Suyan naturally had to urge her to stay and said, "I already had someone prepare dinner. In a while... His Majesty will also come over. How about you stay."
Concubine Ning shook her head and said, "It is because His Majesty is coming that Concubine is leaving. Concubine is not thinking for niangniang and is afraid of disturbing Concubine and Niang. but Concubine entering the palace to represent the family's sincerity.. has already been sent and His Majesty's response. that is enough."
Concubine Ning. "Concubine Ning smiled smiled smiled and smiled smiled smiled," Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, Ning, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning Concubine, Ning.
Noble Concubine Ning smiled and said: "Niangniang, how come you're the same as those common people now? Opening your mouth and talking about children? Niangniang, as a mother, one must be strong. Once one has a child, one must plan for the child. Even if Concubine Ning wanted to retreat, she couldn't. Concubine Ning feels that the current situation is quite good. Furthermore, Concubine Ning believes that niangniang is a benevolent person and wouldn't leave Concubine Ning alone just because Concubine Ning is useless. "
When Bai Suyan saw her like this, she couldn't say anything more. She could only say, "You have your own ideas. I can't say anything more. If I say anything more, it will make me look like a pimp." After that, she smiled.
Concubine Ning stood and bid farewell, "It's late now. Concubine Ning will withdraw."
Concubine Ning had just left the Firefly Hall when she heard a taijian announce, "The Emperor has arrived. Idlers, please leave." When she raised her head, he was almost in front of her. Concubine Ning hurriedly took Yinlu and moved to the side. She didn't make a sound and just knelt with the palace servants.
When Luoshuanga got off the sedan, he just swept a glance. He only saw a "palace maid" dressed especially flamboyantly. He didn't pay much attention and went in.
Yinlu helped her master up and slowly walked out. Seeing her master's lack of desire, she couldn't help but say with disappointment: "Master, why do you have to wrong yourself like this? Also, it was Consort Yan who took the initiative to promote master. Master, why do you have to decline? "
Concubine Ning shook her head, replying: "Yinlu, the way I am now is already very good."
"Master," Yinlu was slightly panicked, "Nubi knows that master disdains to be like those little people who jump up and down and run in front of His Majesty to curry favor. However, Consort Yan was right about something just now. In this palace, only children are the foundation of standing. Even if you give birth to a little emperor concubine, it would be good!"
"Yinlu," Concubine Ning's tone was slightly heavier. Yinlu pouted, feeling wronged, "Yinlu, I know you are all doing this for my own good. However, this hougong isn't like normal families. Having a child isn't a blessing. More importantly … having a child may mean death first."
Hearing her speak so seriously, Yinlu panicked and said: "Master, don't scare nubi. Nubi is timid!"
Concubine Ning slanted a glance at her, remarking: "Now you know to be afraid. Weren't you speaking so much just now?" Yinlu pouted with a wronged expression. Seeing this, Concubine Ning couldn't help but laugh. She quickly used a handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed.
Yinlu was supporting her arm and naturally discovered this. She protested in a spoiled manner: "Master ~ Master, don't laugh. If you laugh any more, nubi won't be satisfied."
Concubine Ning saw her acting like a little girl and cleared her throat. She put on a dignified appearance. However, after a while, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. This caused Yinlu to mutter in a small voice. Master and servant chatted and laughed as they returned.
At Firefly Hall, Bai Suyan didn't exchange too many pleasantries with Luoshuanga. She directly presented the results of the day to him. After Luoshuanga received it, he first asked curiously: "You should report to muhou about the matters of the hougong."
Bai Suyan said respectfully: "Naturally, the matters of the hougong should be decided by the Empress Dowager. However, if you want to move a single brick or tile of the palace, you must first report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to give an edict."
Luoshuanga then quickly skimmed through it. This wasn't just moving a single thing. It was pretty much renovating the entire hougong, "It's easy to give an edict, but what about the title?" Since ancient times, whenever an emperor wanted to change the bed he slept in, there would be some old-fashioned officials who would report it to the emperor. They would often accuse the emperor of spending a lot of money and manpower. Even a sage or wise emperor would be scolded by them as a licentious, tyrannical, and incapable ruler.
Bai Suyan said: "Wei chen thinks that there is no need to rush for results. We can first tear down the palace wall between the North and Nanyuan. Then we can send a few imperial concubines of standard fifth rank and above to live there as the main seats. For example, the pure guipin in chenqie's palace and so on. Over time, they will naturally become dissatisfied. If His Majesty does not allow them to expand, they will naturally find a way to speak to the outside of the palace and urge people outside of the palace to submit a memorial. His Majesty is just going with the flow."
Luoshuanga naturally noticed the change in the way she addressed him, "What plans do you have?"
Bai Suyan bowed and said: "Begging His Majesty to allow wei chen to go to Gun Zhou to provide assistance. Right now, the Luo Army has returned to court, but Gun Zhou has not been taken. There must be trouble. That is why it is like this. Begging His Majesty to allow it."
