Luoshuanga tapped the table and said indifferently, "Consort Yan, how dare you offend your superiors and use your tongue to sow discord in the palace. From today onwards, you will shut yourself in the palace and reflect on yourself. You will only come out when you have thought things through."
"This official thanks Your Majesty. In addition, this official would like Your Majesty to accompany chenqie to report to the Empress Dowager."
Luoshuanga was silent and said, "Today, the Empress Dowager may not be in the mood to listen to you, but I will have the Empress Dowager use the seal."
Bai Suyan was hesitant at this time. She could see that the mother and son were in conflict, but she remembered the matter of Guan Ce Fei. That day, she didn't know if the Empress Dowager had casually agreed or if she really thought that way. After that, she was busy and forgot about it. Today, she suddenly remembered. But looking at Luoshuanga's appearance, although it was not obvious on his face, she intuitively felt that the Emperor was in a bad mood and it was not the best time to talk about this matter.
Luoshuanga saw her hesitant appearance and asked, "What else is there?"
Bai Suyan gritted her teeth and said, "This matter involves Guan Ce Fei. That day, the Empress Dowager gave her a promise. It was about Guan Er Xiaojie." As for what the promise was, it was self-evident.
At this time, Luoshuanga was the most impatient to listen to these things. His words were very harsh, which was rare. "Then she will be registered first. We will talk about it in three years. My harem is not a brothel on the street where anyone can sell a woman in."
Bai Suyan was helpless, but she had done her best. What happened next would depend on the fortune of this Guan Er Xiaojie. After all, entering the palace was not necessarily a fortune.
After being disturbed like this, Luo Shuangyin was too lazy to stay here any longer. He got up and left. It just so happened that he was in a bad mood today, so he had a ready-made excuse. Therefore, the next day, the news that Concubine Yan offended her superiors in Liuying Hall and angered His Majesty into confinement spread throughout the harem.
A few days later, Shan Ying paid his respects as usual. Now, Shan Ying only felt proud. He thought that he had plotted to bring down the two high-ranking concubines. Unfortunately, Concubine Yan was only confined. However, on second thought, His Majesty did not say when she could come out. Maybe His Majesty had forgotten about her after she was confined like this.
Chun guipin was also thinking this. Once Imperial Concubine Yan was locked up, Shuangpo Palace would fall into her hands. It would be best if the Luan Talisman would also fall into her hands. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. The more she thought about it, the more dazzling the smile on her face became. The people on the side couldn't help but remind her that the corners of her mouth were about to crack!
Ning guipin couldn't see her frivolous appearance and said: "Chun guipin, have you forgotten? You are not the only fourth-rank guipin in Shuangbo Palace. In terms of seniority, I was the first to receive the Emperor's grace. Naturally, I, Ning guipin, am slightly more honorable than you. But that is enough."
"Bei Huaining!" Chun guipin was like a firecracker that would probably explode on the spot. "Since entering the palace, you have been opposing me at every turn. How did I offend you?"
Ning guipin smiled slightly and said: "No, but I just don't like you. That's all."
"You!"
Liang guipin hurriedly pulled Chun guipin back and said: "Sister, please stop. The others are coming."
Fengzhi Palace was led by Concubine Jing. Although the number of people had not changed, An guiren, who was also pregnant with the Emperor's child, was gone. Instead, Xiao guiren, who had been declared ill for a long time, had been added. Meeting Yao and Dan Ying's gaze, Xiao guiren politely returned a smile.
Yuxiu Palace was led by Lan guipin. Among the people behind her, Ying guipin was clearly not on the same side as them. Ever since she found out that the Wen Clan was under house arrest yesterday, she had almost fainted. She even wondered if she was the reincarnation of a jinx. How come whoever she leaned on would fall?
Xuxiu Palace was led by Mu fei. Zhang Jieyu had also returned from visiting her family. Beside her was the palace maid called Ma Nao. It was unknown if she knew what had happened during this time.
"The Empress Dowager invites the masters in."
"Yes." Did she have something to say? Otherwise, according to Empress Dowager Wang's usual practice, she would have them bow according to the rules and dismiss them.
Empress Dowager Wang appeared to be in low spirits, but she still forced herself to sit upright. She went straight to the point and issued a series of orders. "Many things have happened in the palace during this time. Aijia has thought about it. It is a pity that the four palaces of the Nanyuan that originally housed the concubines are empty. Therefore, I have decided to tear down the wall between the Nanyuan and the North Court. The four palaces of the Nanyuan will be renamed as the Imperial Harem. This will also allow for some concubines of the fifth rank and above to move in."
The four palaces of the Nanyuan were originally meant for the concubines of the common people. Naturally, the decorations there were not as good as the North Court. How could it be suitable for the noble ladies of the noble families to move in? Then, some of them thought it through and were immediately overjoyed. The position of the head of the palace seemed ordinary, but once one became the head of the palace, one would have a say in the affairs of the palace. In the past, there were only four heads of the palace, but now there were eight. Especially under the premise that there was no Empress, the weight of the head of the palace was extraordinary.
Mu fei and Concubine Jing held the highest positions in the palace. Concubine Jing had never cared about these things. Under the burning gazes of the crowd, Mu fei could only ask, "Which sisters does the Empress Dowager intend to move in?"
Empress Dowager Wang did not answer and continued, "As for the four palaces of the North Court, aijia feels that they have been built too big and wasted. Therefore, aijia has decided to order people to renovate them and divide one palace into two. In the future, the head of one palace will only be the concubines of standard fifth rank and above. Aijia would rather take care of the affairs of that palace than allow some kittens and puppies to covet the head of the palace!"
The first half of the sentence shocked Mu fei and Lan guipin. Mu fei could still hold it in and just frowned. Lan guipin had a long face. After all, it was her turn. How could half of the palace suddenly be cut off? If it were anyone else, they would also feel uncomfortable. The second half of the sentence made Yao Ying and Dan Ying tremble. It seemed to be directed at the two of them.
Even though Empress Dowager Wang had said it herself, there were still some people who did not understand. For example, Chun guipin was the first to jump up to oppose. In the past, she would not have been so impulsive. But today, she had been provoked again and again. It was inevitable that her temper would rise. "Empress Dowager, are you not afraid of the world laughing at you for doing this? It was one thing to put those lowly girls with us. Now, you want us to live in the Nanyuan. Chenqie will not comply. "Concubine Liang, who was beside her, thought too much and could not stop her.
Empress Dowager Wang glanced at her coldly. Her tone was bone-chilling, "Since Chun guipin does not want to be the head of a palace, then be a secondary standard fifth rank noble for the rest of your life. Liusu, go tell His Majesty that this is an imperial decree. If anyone dares to disobey, aijia will not be able to rest in peace even after death!"
At this moment, Chun guipin, or Dong guipin, finally realized the severity of the situation. She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, it was pinqie's slip of the tongue. Please forgive pinqie this time. Concubine Liang meimei, Ning guipin, help me. Yun jiejie …"
"Gag her mouth, drag her out, slap her twenty times, and take away her green head card!" This was not giving Dong guipin a way to live. As a result, those who were dissatisfied could only remain silent.
Ning guipin also quietly let out a sigh of relief. These were the rules that she and Consort Yan had finalized that day. Since the Empress Dowager had allowed it, then Consort Yan was fine. Most likely, His Majesty wanted her to lie low. Seeing Empress Dowager Wang's angry appearance, she was not willing. It was most likely because of His Majesty.
Ning guipin could be said to have guessed half of it right. However, Empress Dowager Wang also understood that this was the best way to manage the harem at present. However, the dogma that she believed in in her bones made her unavoidably reluctant. It was fine when she did not see Bai Suyan. If Bai Suyan appeared in the next few days, Empress Dowager Wang could not guarantee that she would not be angry at that time.
The consorts saw Empress Dowager Wang holding her forehead as if she was angry. For a moment, they were nervous. However, they did not dare to be the first to speak. They were afraid that they would say something wrong and make her angry again. They all looked again at Mu fei.
With "everyone's support," Mu fei could only speak carefully, "Empress Dowager, there is no need to be angry with such an insensible junior. Chenqie is one of the three people with the highest position in the harem and is willing to go to the Nanyuan to be an example for the younger sisters. As for the Resting Snow Palace, there are many capable people, but chenqie will recommend Jin guipin meimei."
Empress Dowager Wang also wanted to choose someone from an aristocratic family to be placed in the Nanyuan. However, it could not be Mu fei. On one hand, Mu fei was a concubine of Empress Dowager Jin Yue. She could not wrong her too much. On the other hand, she was afraid that she would suppress the other concubines in the Nanyuan.
Empress Dowager Wang took a deep breath and said, "I have already decided on the candidates. Zhang Jieyu, Concubine Ying, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Dong will all be moved to the Nanyuan. Mu fei, you are a good person. Liusu, I remember that there is a new tribute of Liusu silk. Give Mu fei a few bolts. The color is too tender. It is suitable for someone of her age. "
Mu fei hurriedly declined, "I have done nothing. I am ashamed to accept it."
"Since I'm giving it to you, it's naturally something you can accept. Just accept it."
"Chenqie thanks you for your kindness."
Empress Dowager Xuan Yue turned to Concubine Jing and asked about her health and Noble Lady An's condition. Concubine Jing straightened up with her hands on her waist and said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager. I'm fine. Noble Lady An has been taking my pulse every day. It's just that the medicine she was given when the fetus was unstable was too strong, and it hurt her body. Imperial Physician Hu has tried his best to protect her. Concubine Jing will be prematurely prematurely. As for how she was injured, everyone knew. Furthermore, the other victim was still sitting here!
Mu fei's face finally darkened. Empress Dowager Wang closed her eyes and said, "I understand. Tell Imperial Physician Hu to take good care of her. She has worked hard these days. Qi Luo, go and reward her on behalf of me. Regardless of the outcome, I will reward her handsomely."
After giving the order, Empress Dowager Xuan Yue dismissed the meeting. All the concubines and concubines left with different thoughts. As soon as they went out, they saw Noble Lady Dong kneeling in front of the Fengqi Palace with her hair disheveled. And the one responsible for slapping her was an unfamiliar little eunuch.
