Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

After the palace banquet, Jingpin also shared some of the power to cooperate with the six palaces. Shen Meizhuang was still unwilling to give up power and only gave Jingpin some dispensable palace power.

From this incident, we can see that Shen Meizhuang is not as unambitious about power as portrayed in the TV series, but even if you have some ambition, you still need the ability to do so.

Zhen Huan is pregnant now and dares not go anywhere. After all, who can guarantee that no one will harm her? She can only stay in Sui Yuxuan every day, or find a way to get the emperor to see her.

It is almost April now, and normally we should start to think about who will go to escape the summer heat.

After all, Jingpin was an old lady, so she knew about it and came to discuss it with Shen Meiyu. She didn't expect that Shen Meiyu, a mere noble lady, had reached the point of being lawless. She hadn't even taken the position of concubine, and she was the only noble lady, and all the maids had gone.

Jingpin had no other choice but to come to Chenfei to ask what to do. An Lingrong didn't want to say anything at first.

Jingpin knew that An Lingrong didn't like to get involved in these matters. After so many years in the palace, anyone who couldn't tell who liked power and who didn't was a fool.

Jingpin knelt down and said: Please give me some advice, Your Majesty. Jingpin is not a fool. She naturally knows that An Lingrong is many times more powerful than the previous empress and empress dowager.

An Lingrong smiled helplessly and said: I don't like to get involved in these trivial matters, otherwise I would have taken over the palace power long ago. Since you come to ask me, then I will teach you.

This is her own decision, why do you care?

It's a thankless task. You just need to explain to the emperor that it was Shen Meizhuang who arranged this. Then tell the emperor which palace duties you are assigned to do on a daily basis. You don't need to think about or do the rest. You just need to do what you should do and do your part well. No one can blame you.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing thought for a while and nodded: Thank you, Concubine Chen, for your guidance.

An Lingrong nodded and said: Go back, don’t come here unless necessary. It’s just been quiet here for a few days, and I don’t want anyone to come here again.

Jingpin was stunned when she heard the words. After thinking about it, she knew who was being talked about. She felt a little funny and a little envious. Some people are just so cheap. Even if others don't welcome them, they still like to get close to them. Even if people welcome them, they won't go. She had no choice but to agree and go back.

The next day, I went to the Qianqing Palace to tell the emperor about the situation.

Given how much the Emperor cares about Concubine Chen, if Concubine Chen was not involved in this matter, she would also be implicated if she had not informed him earlier.

After hearing this, the emperor didn't say anything. He asked Jingpin to go back and sent Xiao Xiazi to do the work.

As for Su Peisheng, he has been sent out of the palace. After this incident, there will no longer be Su Peisheng in this world.

Who asked Su Peisheng to have nothing to do all day? He always thinks Zhen Huan is good in this and that, and misses you here and there. The reason why such a treacherous servant was not punished in the palace is because he has been with me for so many years, and I just want to give him a decent death.

Xiao Xia Zi also understood that this time when her master left, he would never come back. After all, it was something that anyone could see clearly. However, Su Peisheng, who was completely absorbed in his love, could not understand that just one move could cost him hundreds of lives. Could the whereabouts of the emperor be revealed casually?

I really don't know how she grew up beside the emperor for so many years, without considering the emperor in anything. If Zhen Huan knew her whereabouts and accidentally leaked it out, who can guarantee the emperor's safety?

I originally thought that they would be more restrained, but they became more and more excessive and even started to interfere with the emperor's thoughts. They kept saying that this person is good and that person is good. Even a fool would think that they are really good. If this brainwashing succeeds, it will be very difficult to get over it.

The emperor now feels that he is not ruthless and decisive enough in doing things, and he is a little hesitant. He is the emperor, but he is always afraid of this and that. He feels so tired.

Whenever I feel tired, I will think of An Lingrong. Only with her can I feel simple and warm.

It's just that she ignored him. He went there alone, without asking any questions or answering them. She never said much to him. She used to talk to him, but after the incident with Zhen Huan, the emperor clearly felt that An Lingrong had sealed her heart to him.

The emperor pressed his brows and said to Xiao Xia Zi: "You said, I obviously care about her, but I always hurt her, which led to her pushing her further and further away. She used to feel very relaxed and comfortable talking to me, but now, although she feels comfortable, she won't talk to me anymore."

I regret hurting the person I care about for someone who is not worthy. Now she has closed her heart to me and I feel like I can never get into her again.

After hearing this, Xiao Xia Zi thought for a while and said: Is the emperor talking about Concubine Chen?

I have a very good impression of Concubine Chen, so I dare not say much.

The emperor asked curiously: You haven't had much contact with her, so why do you have a good impression of her?

Xiao Xia Zi said embarrassedly: On the day of the palace banquet, it was I who sent Empress Chen's mother there. At that time, there was no one in Yongshou Palace, not even the eunuch guarding the gate. At first, I thought that Empress Chen had confined herself to her room and dismissed everyone in the palace.

Unexpectedly, it was Concubine Chen who gave them a holiday to go out and play. Concubine Chen said that since it was New Year's Day, there wouldn't be many people around. The servants and palace maids wanted to go to the Yime Garden to pick some plum blossoms and bring them back for Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen said that she didn't like plum blossoms and asked them to just pick them and put them in their own rooms.

Moreover, the red envelopes that Empress Chen Fei gave to everyone as New Year greetings were equivalent to a year's monthly salary.

Even though I was just leading the way, Concubine Chen still rewarded me with half a year's salary of Miss Yunxue.

Even the wife of Duke Cheng'an gave everyone silver rewards during the New Year. I think Queen Chen is a good person not because of the silver rewards, but because the servants and maids in Queen Chen's palace have always had smiles on their faces for such a long time.

He was not as cautious or arrogant as the other servants in the palace.

After some inquiries, I found out that Empress Chen Fei told everyone that from now on, there should be only four side dishes every morning, which would be half of the previous amount. As for the rest of the dishes, they could make them themselves if they liked.

Moreover, the servants and maids serving in Yongshou Palace could play in the yard or take a stroll outside after finishing their work. They did not need to guard them all day long. The same went for the girls Yunxue and Yunshuang who were beside the empress. They did not need to stand guard at night.

They also said that the Queen never got up at night, so there was no need for them to watch over her, and that the Queen was not like other masters in the palace who needed others to serve them in everything.

She would even go to the kitchen herself and teach everyone how to cook something delicious. If the food tasted good, they could just make it themselves when they wanted to eat it. The servants and maids in Yongshou Palace said that being in the Empress's palace was just like being at home, and they didn't need to pay attention to whether their master was in a bad mood or something.

Their queen was never in a bad mood. Sometimes she was either painting or reading, and sometimes she would play the piano. She would even teach palace maids or eunuchs if they wanted to learn. Their days in Yongshou Palace were filled with laughter.

Other people in the palace didn't believe it at first, but later many of them secretly went to watch and found that the palace maids and eunuchs, after finishing their work, were either playing shuttlecock or playing hide-and-seek in the yard. In short, they were just playing in some way.

When the weather in the palace got cold, the Empress would ask them to put on more clothes, and would even spend her own money to buy everyone some warm clothes, which were made of fox fur, the same thing the Empress wore. The palace maids and eunuchs in her courtyard had them, but they were not as good as the Empress's.

The Empress said, it’s not that she’s afraid that you will wear nice clothes, but if you go out wearing nice clothes like mine and are seen by other Empresses in the palace, they will say that you are transgressing.

So I can only dress you in slightly worse clothes, so that other ladies won’t say anything even if they see it.

I also heard that during the daytime on New Year's Eve last year, the empress played snowball fights with them. After the game, she began to teach everyone how to make delicious food, and even asked them to drink a bowl of ginger soup to prevent them from catching a cold.

Many people envy them. After all, it is rare to find a master who does not beat or scold them. What is even rarer is that the master treats them as human beings and treats them well.

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this and said: So this is how she usually treats people in the palace?

Xiao Xia Zi smiled and said: Yes, the queen said, and so do the servants. In her heart, she only regards them as subordinates. When they reach a certain age, they will be given freedom. The palace maids can leave the palace and get married, and the same goes for the eunuchs.

By then, he can work as a manager in his father's charity house, so that he won't have to run around everywhere. If he wants a child, he can also adopt one he likes from an orphanage.

There are many orphans in the orphanage, most of them are beggars, but now they are all learning, learning skills they like, so that they can make a living with their skills when they grow up.

Xiao Xiazi's voice was a little low after she finished speaking. The Queen also said that here I was like a canary in a cage. It was enough to lock me up alone, and everyone around her could go out and see the world.

She also said that when they go out, they should write to him often to tell him about the outside world, and ask them to go to more places to help her see what the world outside is like.

The Empress longed to do so, but she had entered the palace and could not go out again, so the palace maids and eunuchs who wanted to accompany her all the time could not say that they wanted to stay with her forever.

It was also because of this incident that everyone wanted to go out and see more on behalf of their queen, so they did not insist on staying.

The most they will be able to leave the palace in three to five years, and the fastest in a year, so everyone is trying to accompany the Empress as much as possible during this period.

The empress also tried her best to teach them as many things as possible. For example, the palace maids would learn to make clothes and embroider, and the eunuchs would learn to do accounting, write, and paint.

These may be useful when they go out in the future, so the empress taught them so that they will have a skill to rely on when they go out in the future.
