Chapter 17 I want to be the Queen Mother 5
Ji Yao's life in the palace was relatively smooth, she swiftly cleared the concubine's staff, and sat firmly in the middle palace.After everything settled down, Ji Yao calmed down and admired the palace with peace of mind. The current palace is full of prosperity because of the presence of the emperor, unlike later generations where there are only empty palaces standing there.

When Ji Yao got interested, she decided to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. The flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom, including red, white, yellow, blue, and purple. There were all kinds of flowers. Ji Yao couldn't name them. , but looking at the delicate appearance, I also know that the varieties of these flowers are not bad.

From a distance, I saw an exquisite gazebo with high raised cornices spreading its wings, and a majestic and well-carved dragon. The pillars were freshly painted, spotless and shining.Looking up, it is full of a dynasty.

On July [-]th, it had been a month since Ji Yao entered the palace. On this day, Ji Yao got up early as usual and waited for the concubines to pay their respects.The emperor's harem had a noble concubine, a fourth concubine, a ninth concubine, and several lower-level concubines who were often waiting for the nobles.

The noble concubine was in charge of the palace power before Ji Yao entered the palace, and there were three princes under her knees; four concubines: Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui, Concubine De, Concubine Shu had five princes and nine princes under her knees, Concubine Xian had six princes, Concubine Hui There is the second prince and the eighth prince who died as a concubine, and the concubine De has the fourth prince.

In addition, it is worth noting that Li Guiren, the birth mother of the seventh prince, An Concubine, the birth mother of the eldest princess Anping, Jin concubine, the birth mother of the second princess An Ding, Chang Guiren, the birth mother of the third princess An Ning, Ding concubine, the birth mother of the fourth princess An Min, and the newly deceased Concubine Hua, the biological mother of the fifth princess Anhui.

After Ji Yao had finished her breakfast, some palace servants reported that the ladies of each palace came to pay their respects.Ji Yao sat on the top and condescendingly looked down at the concubines below to salute. The concubines are of good status, and they are used to bowing their heads.

The high-ranking concubines are full of reluctance, especially the noble concubine. She is the biggest in the harem. The emperor will always discuss with her about anything. For this reason, the chances of seeing the emperor are much more than others. Now there is a new concubine. Later, young and young, how could the emperor want other people.

The concubine who was full of resentment sat down after performing the salute, and then began to attack: "Madam, I heard from Xingui in my palace that she hasn't issued this month's regulations yet, but what's the delay?"

The palace order had been issued a few days ago. Everyone knew that the imperial concubine said this just to embarrass the queen. Everyone bowed their heads silently, those who drank tea drank tea, and those who looked at the floor looked at the floor.

Only the nobleman followed suit and said, "Yes, empress, the concubine is counting on this little quota to live, but last month's quota was used up, and this month's quota hasn't been issued yet. If it wasn't for the support of the imperial concubine, the concubine would I'm going to drink the northwest wind."

When Ji Yao first entered the palace to collect power, Ji Yao established a complete mechanism for assigning responsibilities to individuals and a comprehensive supervision mechanism. Now, as long as the person in charge is called to ask, she will know where the problem lies.

Ji Yao ordered people to send orders for the handlers to come, and when they heard the Queen's call, they came soon.Treasury, documents, successors, and 2 eunuchs in charge of supervision.

As soon as Ji Yao explained the matter, several people immediately said: "Your Majesty, the orders for the masters were sent out a few days ago, and the slaves have corrected it several times, and there is absolutely no mistake or omission."

The imperial concubine sneered: "There is absolutely no mistake or omission? Then why has Mrs. Xin's share not yet arrived, and still need my palace to help?"

Ji Yao said: "Then let's see which ring has the problem!"

Several people began to quickly check themselves. The concubines in the palace were quietly waiting for the outcome of this confrontation. If the queen loses, she will have no prestige in the harem in the future. If the noble concubine loses, the queen will step on her Establish your own authority with face.

A concubine sitting at the bottom hesitated for a long time and finally stood up and said, "Empress, my concubine has something to say."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Chun Chang, who had been in the palace for more than 20 years, and hadn't become a favorite a few times. He was always there in the palace, and he is still there now.Ji Yao said gently: "Chun Changzai can say anything if he has anything to say."

Chun Chang was so nervous that his face turned red, and he clenched his fists to strengthen himself and said: "All the concubines have been issued, and only half of them were issued before."

Everyone was amazed, this spring often looked timid and cowardly, did he want to help the queen and fight against the noble concubine?The noble concubine also had a sullen face, thinking that Chun Changzai was accusing herself of being inferior to the queen?The imperial concubine stared at Chun Changzai sharply, staring at Chun Changzai until she trembled.

Ji Yao said gently: "In the future, I will post all of them. If there is another half of the situation, you can tell me and I will make the decision for you."

Chun Chang was shaking and shaking, and it took him a long time to reply: "Empress, the concubines and concubines are saying that they should be wronged, and even the concubines have issued all the statutes, and they will never default on Mr. Xingui." For example."

Chunchang finished speaking in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that she was extremely nervous, Ji Yao said, "Don't worry, I won't let a bad person go, and I won't wrong a good person. Okay, sit down first." .”

Chun Changzai felt relieved, and sat down with her heart pounding. A concubine beside her tugged at her sleeve and looked at her worriedly. Chun Changzai smiled.

The servants here have already finished checking, and Chun Chang immediately replied to Ji Yao as soon as he finished speaking.

The servant in charge of the account book stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the servants have already checked, and Xingui has already taken away the account of Mrs. Xingui. The person who took it was her personal maid, Qiu Hong, at noon on July [-]th. , Qiu Hong is going back with the case and there will be many people who will see it along the way, and the empress can find someone to confront."

Ji Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Xingui?"

Xin Gui settled down and said: "The concubine has never seen the order, and the concubine has used the imperial concubine's order these days."

Ji Yao said: "In this case, let's call the slaves along the way to confront her at noon on July [-]th. In addition, we will keep Qiu Hong under separate custody until the truth is found out."

The noble concubine did not expect that Ji Yao would actually establish such a mechanism in such a short period of time. If the original situation was followed, they could push each other's excuses, and in the end it would be nothing, so Ji Yao would be at a loss for words.

But now that the responsibilities are so clear, it is definitely not okay to cause trouble. Maybe the emperor will have to reprimand himself if he finds out.

The imperial concubine decided to keep her mouth shut. Anyway, she was only playing the role of helping Xingui from beginning to end. As for who is right and who is wrong, it has nothing to do with her.

The imperial concubine doesn't say anything, but Mrs. Xin has to say, this matter is closely related to her, if there is a big trouble, she will be finished.

Xin Gui asked the concubine several times with his eyes, but the concubine turned a blind eye, the queen pressed her every step of the way, Xin Gui was neither on the left nor on the right, and he couldn't last long if he wanted to, and maybe the consequences would be even more serious.

Xingui could only say: "Your Majesty, the concubine has indeed never seen the quota, but since Qiuhong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has received it, maybe she has swallowed the concubine's quota."

If Qiuhong hadn't been imprisoned, Xingui would have severely reprimanded Qiuhong to prove her innocence.

Ji Yao knew that she was talking nonsense, for a maid in the palace who dared to take the position of a concubine and master privately, she had to be ambitious.But abandoning the car to protect the commander-in-chief is a familiar trick in the palace. Didn't the noble concubine abandon the nobleman just now?

Ji Yao didn't bother to talk to Xingui about who took it privately, and directly asked people to search the rooms of all the maids and eunuchs in Xingui's palace.

The reason is justified, Xingui's servants are too courageous, even dare to swallow the master's share, if there is anything you dare not do, you should search and search, lest there is anything that endangers the harem.

There are some servants who follow the unspoken rules in any palace, and it's fine at ordinary times, but now that the search palace has been found, it proves that Xingui is incompetent, Ji Yao ordered Xingui to be lax, remove his title and downgrade him to Chang.

Xingui struggled for half his life, and suddenly became Li Changzai. He lost all face, and would become the laughing stock of the harem in the future. Xingui collapsed powerlessly.

Ji Yao said again: "It's a good thing for a noble concubine to be kind, but one has to distinguish right from wrong. It's good to find out what happened today, otherwise I will wrong a few innocent people for nothing." The noble concubine had no choice but to agree.

In this confrontation, Ji Yao stepped on the face of the imperial concubine and Li Guiren, and successfully established her authority in the harem. From then on, anyone who wanted to do anything had to carefully consider whether they had Li Guiren's head iron.

However, after this time, Chun Changzai often came to Kunning Palace. Every time, he was so nervous that he could not speak. The next time he came, he looked at Ji Yao so gratefully that Ji Yao had goosebumps all over his body. Woke up.

Chun Changzai is like a little girl, every time someone dares to say bad things about Ji Yao, she rushes forward, she is terrified in her heart, but her actions are still ruthless, and it didn't take long for the whole palace to know that Chun Chang is the queen's pawn .

Ji Yao is very helpless, Chun Changzai is ten years older than herself, but Ji Yao always feels that she has brought a little girl with her, Chun Changzai is shy and blushes at every turn, but seems to think that Ji Yao can protect her, seeing Ji Yao It was as if Yao had met her own mother.

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, high-ranking concubines in the palace can summon their families.Mrs. Ji brought Ji Lin into the palace. Ji Yao was surprised as to why Ji Lin was brought in. Mrs. Ji gave her a helpless look, and Ji Yao instantly understood that it was Shangshu Ji's fault again.

Originally, Ji Yao wanted to talk to Mrs. Ji, but it was difficult to talk to Ji Lin because she was there, and he couldn't get her away. Ji Yao was afraid that her reckless temperament would cause trouble for him.

Ji Yao asked: "Why did my sister enter the palace?"

Ji Lin was looking at the decoration of the Kunning Palace, and felt that this one or that one was even more luxurious than when she was a queen, and she was jealous of Ji Yao, so when she heard the question, she replied: "My sister is now a queen. I can't look down on people, my own sister can't even see you."

Ji Yao is helpless, this Ji Lin doesn't know how to grow her brain, since she knows that she is a queen, she dares to do this, she is really not afraid of punishing her by herself, it is really a headache to meet such a self-righteous idiot.

But Ji Lin doesn't think so. Ji Lin thinks that Ji Yao's queen was snatched from her. If she didn't marry the emperor first, she would be able to marry the eighth prince, who will be the queen in the future, so Ji Yao owes herself.

Because of this idea, Ji Lin wanted to squeeze benefits from Ji Yao without any guilt. Ji Shangshu also agreed, but after all, Ji Shangshu knew the importance and knew that Ji Yao was no longer the daughter he used to be and had to be careful in what he said and did, so he helped Ji Lin get it. If you want benefits, it is very cryptic, Ji Yao just pretends that she doesn't understand, but Ji Lin doesn't, she just wants it straightforwardly and confidently.
