Chapter 324 Misunderstanding
From Chongyi to Xiuyuan, it was just a small promotion in rank, and she was still among the nine concubines.
But she was the first person to be promoted after the emperor ascended the throne.
Xie Run: "Fang Yuan'er moved to Chonghua Palace, and Hua Xiuyuan stayed in Fanghua Palace?"
"Then these two people have exchanged palaces."
At the beginning, Hua Xiuyuan made a scene in front of the emperor because she dug out the heartbreak powder, which caused the emperor's dissatisfaction. He moved her out of Chonghua Palace and sent her to Chanyunxuan, a side hall in Fanghua Palace.
Now the emperor has promoted Hua Xiuyuan and made her the mistress of Fanghua Palace, so Fang Yuaner has to move.
Among the six palaces, only Chonghua Palace was left without a master, so the emperor naturally moved Fang Yuaner to Chonghua Palace.
But in fact, Chonghua Palace is better than Fanghua Palace.
When the palace was first allocated, Fang Yuan'er was disliked by the emperor, but Hua Xiuyuan was favored by the emperor.
Dan Tao asked curiously, "My Lady, this servant always feels something is wrong."
"Now that the palace has been changed, it's said that the emperor dotes on Hua Xiuyuan. Not only did he promote her, he also drove Gong Xiurong out of Fanghua Palace."
"But firstly, Chonghua Palace is more magnificent and splendid than Fanghua Palace, so Gong Xiurong is clearly taking advantage. Secondly, the emperor promoted Hua Xiuyuan, but from Chongyi to Xiuyuan, all of them are lower in rank than Gong Xiurong... It doesn't seem to have much impact on Hua Xiuyuan."
Now most of the positions in the harem are vacant. Sometimes, promoting a position up or demoting a position down actually has little impact.
In fact, Gong Xiurong and Hua Xiuyuan both gained real benefits in this matter.
One got a nice palace, the other got the benefit of promotion.
Xie Run leaned against the sedan chair and said with a smile, "It's normal for you to feel something is wrong. I think Fang Yuan'er must have done something."
Dan Tao's analysis was absolutely correct. The emperor's move seemed to bully Fang Yuan'er, but in fact it benefited her and did not arouse jealousy.
Xie Run remembered that when he went to see Hua Xiuyuan last time, he met Fang Yuaner at the door and reminded Fang Yuaner a few words at that time.
This move to the palace and promotion happened by such a coincidence that Xie Run didn't believe that Fang Yuaner did nothing.
Xiao Shu immediately said, "I will send someone to inquire about it right away."
Xie Run didn't stop him.
When he arrived at Fengyi Palace, Xie Run could hear the bustling sounds in the main hall while he was still at the door.
As soon as she entered, she heard Lady Lu say, "Greetings to Concubine Zhao Shu. Hua Xiuyuan was promoted today, and the sisters are all congratulating her."
Xie Runwen smiled gently, "Although I'm a little late, I still want to congratulate Sister Hua."
After taking care of it for some time, Huayu looked fine except that he was a little thinner.
But Xie Run knew that Hua Yu's poisoning had damaged his stomach and intestines. This was a difficult disease to cure and he would probably suffer from it for years.
It looks good now, but it's just on the surface.
Hua Xiuyuan accepted Xie Run's congratulations and also said a few good words.
After a while, Fang Yuaner also came.
Concubine Jing teased her as soon as she opened her mouth: "Gong Xiurong has just moved to a new palace and doesn't know the way around. That's why you're so late?"
Her words were clearly meant as a mockery.
Just looking at the emperor's decree, everyone thought that Fang Yuaner was expelled from Chonghua Palace in order to make room for Hua Yu Teng.
Fang Yuan'er has just been a little more silent recently, but that doesn't mean she has completely gotten rid of all her thorns.
She immediately retorted calmly, "Sister Jingfei embroiders in Fengyi Palace every day, and she has become an embroidery tree?"
"The reason I'm late is simply because I had to serve the Emperor at the morning court." Fang Yuan'er paused, "Oh, I forgot. Since entering the palace, Concubine Jing has never served the Emperor, so naturally she doesn't know about this."
Concubine Jing was so angry that her cheeks turned purple. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from cursing out loud.
Fang Yuaner's words were truly a killer.
Others were shocked by another piece of news revealed in Fang Yuaner's words.
Lady Fang asked softly, "Gong Xiurong said she was late because she was waiting for the Emperor to attend the morning court. Does this mean that the Emperor stayed in your palace yesterday?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Hua Yu.
Because the emperor went to Chanyunxuan to see Hua Yu yesterday, and issued an imperial decree early in the morning to confer the title of Hua Yu as Hua Xiuyuan, everyone subconsciously thought that the emperor stayed overnight in Chanyunxuan.
Hua Yu was bewildered when he heard this.
With just a glance, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Hua Yu himself didn't understand what was going on.
Someone cleared his cough twice, and everyone's expressions became a little subtle.
Hua Yu realized it belatedly, her eyes unable to conceal the shock and distress, "The Emperor came to see me last night, sat in my palace for a while, and then left. I didn't know the Emperor stayed in Sister Gong Xiurong's palace."
As she spoke, Hua Yu unconsciously tugged at the handkerchief in her hand.
Xie Run also reacted.
The emperor probably went to see Fang Yuaner after leaving Chanyunxuan and stayed overnight in Fanghua Palace.
Since the emperor entered Fanghua Palace and never came out, no one knew where he stayed.
Hua Yu, who should have known the news, was ill and probably did not send anyone to inquire about the news. He thought that the emperor left Chanyunxuan and returned to his own Zichen Palace.
By some strange coincidence, I didn't know until now that the emperor stayed in Fanghua Palace last night.
Xie Run subconsciously glanced at the queen.
The queen was dressed in an elegant manner, with a face full of grace and elegance. There was not much emotion in her eyes and brows, as if she knew everything in advance.
Xie Runye just remembered.
All the concubines in the six palaces had to record their sleep with the emperor in the Jingshifang.
The Jingshifang is under the management of the Queen, and all daily matters concerning the emperor's sleeping arrangements will be reported to her. I'm afraid the Queen has already known that the Emperor stayed in Fang Yuaner's palace last night.
She sat at the top early in the morning and watched everyone congratulate Hua Yu.
Everyone thought that Hua Yu was promoted after serving the emperor in bed. Only the queen knew that it was Fang Yuaner who served the emperor in bed, and she watched the show silently for a long time.
The queen actually knew that the promotion was just the emperor's compensation for Hua Yu's poisoning and other reasons, not because of his favor.
She watched Hua Yu overjoyed at being congratulated, and then watched her face filled with disappointment and shock. She remained calm and composed from beginning to end.
Xie Run thought, this is probably the temperament and mind that the queen should have?
Now that the harem is stable, the little conflicts between women will only remain in their mouths and faces.
Hua Xiuyuan looked at the "smug" Fang Yuaner and wanted to say something sour, but because she was tongue-tied, she could only hide aside silently, feeling angry and aggrieved.
When the queen saw that everyone's bickering had ended, she stopped watching quietly and started talking about two things.
"The day after tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Emperor specifically asked the Grand Emperor for permission, and he said it's not a full birthday, so there's no need for a grand celebration."
"Just set up a few tables in the Cining Palace and invite the ladies and princes to the palace for a banquet. That will be considered a celebration."
