Chapter 388: Stopping the Road and Complaining
Xie Run listened and asked in confusion, "Who asked Concubine Wen to take care of this matter? The two of them have long had a grudge because Concubine Wen asked the imperial kitchen to restrain Hua Yu's meals."
"How could Hua Yu possibly accept Concubine Wen's teachings at this moment?"
The Queen asked not only Concubine Wen to assist in the management of the six palaces, but also Concubine Jingshu, who had a higher rank.
Concubine Shen spoke quickly, "It must be Concubine Jing Shu who hid, so Concubine Wen had no choice but to go ahead. After all, she is also a person without temper and can't learn to complain to the Queen."
"If you ask me, Concubine Wen lives a very cowardly life. If the Empress were my sister, I'm afraid I would rely on her power to bully people in the harem."
Xie Run glanced at her and said, "That's really a pity."
Concubine Shen: "..."
The palace official who responded continued, "Empress Wen was pushed back by Consort Hua, but she didn't dare to make a scene. She just went to the Empress's palace to respond."
"Who knew that the Emperor happened to be visiting the Empress? Upon hearing this, he flew into a rage and sent someone to reprimand Hua Zhaoyi, saying that she was jealous and vicious. If she did it again, he would forbid her from raising the Ninth Prince, fearing that she would lead him astray."
Xie Run was surprised and asked, "Did the emperor really say that?"
The palace maid nodded.
Xie Run was a little confused. Didn’t the emperor’s attitude towards Hua Yu change too quickly?
She thought that this time it would be just a mild reprimand, or no reprimand at all.
Who knew that the emperor would directly scold Hua Yu for being jealous and cruel? Such words are very serious in the harem.
Concubine Shen was also puzzled: "The Emperor just promoted General Hua to the rank of Second-Rank General of the Cavalry. Logically, even if he was dissatisfied with Concubine Hua, he wouldn't be so angry."
And to be honest, Huayu's fault was not that big.
Today's incident was caused by Ming Meiren.
Xie Run: "General Hua has been promoted to the second rank General of Cavalry? That's really great news."
Xie Run spoke in a calm tone, but he had an idea in mind.
The emperor has given Huayu siblings enough honor and favor, and has also allowed them to gain a firm foothold.
If Hua Yu is too ungrateful, he will not continue to pamper her.
Now Hua Yu has a position and children, and is considered a leader in the harem, so there is no need for her to move up further.
Huayu's good days are probably coming to an end.
Concubine Shen: "Is this the end of the matter?"
"if not?"
Concubine Shen: "I thought that Concubine Wen had been wronged and that the Empress would intervene."
Xie Run: "The Queen... I don't know how she is doing."
How come the emperor happened to meet the wronged Concubine Wen?
It takes some time for Concubine Wen to rush from Fanghua Palace to Fengyi Palace, which is enough time for the Queen to react.
Concubine Wen is the Queen's younger sister. If the Queen directly deals with her, it would easily cause trouble and would also be detrimental to her health.
The best way to calm the situation is for the emperor to come forward and reprimand them.
In the evening, the emperor turned over the name of Concubine Sun.
Xie Run was reading a book when he heard the news. He paused for a moment and then continued turning the pages.
Dan Tao and Xiao Shu beside them were very calm, and only reminded Xie Run: "Don't look at it for too long, it will hurt your eyes."
Xie Run was so engrossed in reading: "Just two more pages!"
Dan Tao and Xiao Shu looked helpless.
There are many kinds of miscellaneous books in ancient times, but some of them are very imaginative and use extremely sharp and vicious words. It is very novel to read them occasionally.
Xie Run often felt bored living in the deep palace, but sometimes when he saw interesting miscellaneous books, he would become quite obsessed with them.
In the next half month, the emperor successively brought up several new candidates.
Whenever he had time during the day, he would visit Xie Run and the Fifth Prince, but he had never been to Fanghua Palace to visit Hua Yu and the newly born Ninth Prince.
Xie Run thought secretly.
The emperor had so many sons that he began to not cherish them.
In the past, if a mother made a mistake, the emperor would at most punish her but would not implicate her son.
Hua Yu was quite favored before she gave birth, and her brother became a second-rank cavalry general at a young age, so she had some status in the harem.
The emperor ignored her at first, but no one dared to step on her because they all thought Hua Yu could make a comeback.
But after scolding her twice in a row, the emperor even turned over the names of several people she had hit.
Everyone seemed to sense the direction of the wind and their expressions changed.
In just a few days, the quality of food, clothing, housing and transportation in Fanghua Palace has quietly changed.
Huayu is still a coward at heart.
When the emperor favored her, she naturally felt extremely proud and even became a little bolder.
He contradicts this person today and that person tomorrow.
But once the emperor stopped supporting her, she no longer had the courage to act like a demon.
As a dignified Zhaoyi, she dared not speak out when her servants wronged her, for fear that if she did, she would annoy the emperor and make him think she was meddling.
Xie Run had long seen through Hua Yu's character, and these were no exception to his opinion.
If Huayu doesn't hold on now, he will probably suffer in the future.
Xie Run started to show her figure when she was four months pregnant.
Although the newcomers in the harem all slept with the emperor, the emperor did not seem to favor any of them in particular; he treated them all with indifference.
In the following days, I went to the Old People's Palace more often.
The queen's health was getting worse day by day.
He just had a gust of wind yesterday, but he said he was feeling unwell this morning and even asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine.
Xie Run was bored, so he asked Concubine Shen and Concubine Lu to go to the Imperial Garden to see the peonies.
This was also the first time she had gone out since she was pregnant for more than four months.
She originally thought that since there were people surrounding her, nothing would happen to her.
Who knew that even if she was well prepared, she would still be in trouble.
Dan Tao whispered, "Your Majesty, Lady Ming requests an audience."
Among the new people who served in the emperor's bedchamber, Sun Cairen and Xue Baolin were both promoted, one became a beauty and the other became a talented person.
This Ming Meiren was the last one in this group to serve the emperor in bed.
It was obvious that the emperor disliked her trouble-making character, but for the sake of harmony in the six palaces, he still summoned her.
A normal person would be too busy avoiding trouble to rush into looking for it.
But this beautiful lady has the courage to do so.
Concubine Shen had just picked a peony to ask Xie Run about its color, and when she heard this, she felt a little annoyed: "Doesn't she know that Imperial Concubine Zhao likes quiet and peaceful life? She's asking for an audience at this time. Is there something so important that she's really disturbing Imperial Concubine Zhao's mood?"
Dan Tao smiled and said, "Ming Meiren said she was wronged and now she is here to complain."
Xie Run: “…”
Concubine Shen was shocked. "She came to complain to Concubine Zhao?"
Concubine Shen angrily asked, "How much of a grievance has she suffered that she has to disturb Concubine Zhao?"
"The Empress is in charge of the palace now, and Consort Jingshu and Consort Wen are assisting in managing the six palaces. She didn't go looking for these people, but instead came to bother Consort Zhao. If she disturbed Consort Zhao and the unborn prince, how could she bear the consequences?!"
Concubine Shen seemed to feel that she had not scolded enough, so she rolled up her sleeves and was about to scold Concubine Ming.
Concubine Fang tugged at her clothes and gently advised, "She's not smart in her dealings. Why bother getting angry with her? You'll only lose face. If the Emperor hears about it, he'll think you're a troublemaker."
