God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Chapter 60: The Palace Maid's Guide to Advancement 8

All of a sudden, the harem was in an uproar again.

Wei Zining was promoted three levels just by serving the emperor in bed, which made those who had not moved for a long time very jealous.

But I couldn't win the emperor's favor and could only swallow my grievances.

Because Zi Ning was favored, Yuexin Palace became lively again. The masters of various palaces sent gifts, and the warehouse was almost full.

Zining asked the Imperial Household Department to make all the rewarded cloth into clothes, and asked Ruhua to make the remaining fabric into purses.

Ruhua is clever and deft, and every purse she makes is beautiful, with fine stitching and vivid patterns.

After Zi Ning became favored, she became the center of the daily morning meeting, and everyone's attention was focused on her.

"Congratulations, sister. You are so beautiful, it is natural that the emperor likes you." The speaker was Concubine Zheng.

Concubine Zheng was a newcomer who came in through last year's election. When she first entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor, but she was forgotten not long after.

Although they are both noble ladies, Zining has a title, so she deserves to be called her sister.

"Sister is also a beauty. Just wait patiently. His Majesty will always remember the good things about me." Zi Ning said with a smile.

Which woman in the harem is not waiting for the emperor to summon her every day?

As for whether the emperor can remember you, it is definitely not a good idea to just wait.

While they were talking, two more attendants joined Zining's conversation, and they did nothing but flatter Zining and try to curry his favor.

"Hmph, vixen." Concubine Jing arrived late. As soon as she saw Zining being surrounded by people trying to please him, she felt uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuling and Xu Yinying, who were following behind Concubine Jing, immediately knew what Concubine Jing was thinking.

"The emperor is just looking for something new. He might forget about her in a couple of days. Then she will cry." Xu Yinying was also extremely jealous. Since she did not receive any favor, she turned to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing's subordinates also needed young concubines to help consolidate her favor, and they helped her at the beginning, but Your Majesty does not have enough of them.

Zhu Yuling had always looked down on this bed-climbing girl. She had only used a little trick to send her to the cold palace, but she never expected that there would be a day when she would be able to get out.

Could it be that she really has some great luck?

Huadie, who was beside the queen, called everyone into the hall.

The concubines entered the side hall of Kunning Palace in an orderly manner according to their respective positions. Zining was already Noble Lady Rou, so she could sit in the hall to pay her respects.

Once you are promoted to the position of concubine, you can have a sedan chair.

Zining decided to work harder to improve his travel methods.

The Queen first said that Concubine Rou had thanked His Majesty for her hard work in serving him last night.

He rewarded Zining with some things, and then talked about the issue of offspring.

This actually attracted a wave of hatred for Zi Ning, and some jealous people started to speak sourly to Zi Ning.

Zining was speechless and didn't want to play witty tricks with her.

Words mean nothing, and those who gain an advantage with words are not the real winners.

But if anyone dares to frame me, no matter what position they hold, they will have to bear my revenge.

Everyone had gotten used to it. Every time after Zi Ning went to bed with the emperor, those few people would always make fun of her. But Zi Ning would always remain silent, as if they were not talking about her.

I thought those who like to talk a lot would feel that they are asking for trouble, but maybe they are venting their dissatisfaction and anxiety in this way.

It works every time. I have to be sarcastic every day.

After the meeting, Zining walked back alone in silence.

At this time, a man came up and whispered to her, "Sister, be careful with Concubine Yin recently. She looks strange."

After saying this, Concubine Wei left.

She had never been on good terms with Zining, but she could still give him some simple advice.

Zi Ning saw that she was walking so fast, thinking that she didn't want to talk to him more. He wanted to catch up with her and ask her in detail, but then he thought better of it.

Concubine Wei and Concubine Yin both lived in Xunfang Pavilion, but Concubine Wei lived in the main hall and Concubine Yin lived in the west side hall. She might have noticed some little movements of Concubine Yin.

The original owner had been framed before, and Concubine Yin always thought that she was the one who caused her miscarriage, so it was normal for her to be hostile to her.

But I can't let her do whatever she wants.

After Zi Ning returned to the palace, he called Ran Mo Ruhua and told her in detail what had happened today. He also asked them to take a closer look at the daily meals and to take out all the items in the warehouse for inspection. Each item should be recorded in a book to facilitate timely discovery of missing or extra items.

In addition, people entering and leaving the hall every day must be closely monitored, and only close relatives are allowed to enter the inner hall.

Every place in the room where something might be hidden should be checked daily to prevent someone from putting something there randomly and framing someone.

After Zi Ning was promoted, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent several palace maids and eunuchs to serve her.

According to the rules, Zining now has four palace maids and two eunuchs serving him.

The personal maids were named Ranmo and Ruhua, and the other two palace maids were renamed Zhuqing and Zhuye; the eunuchs were named Hedong and Hexi.

According to Dacongming's query data, this Zhuqing is actually the Queen's man.

However, Zi Ning did not send her away, but kept her by his side to serve her.

She wanted to see what this young queen would do.

More than half a month passed peacefully. Dongfang Yu would often come to Yuexin Palace. Even if he did not enter the harem due to official business, he would send people to deliver some small gifts to please Zining.

Zi Ning doesn't care about these things. She just eats and drinks every day and lives a leisurely life.

The food in the imperial kitchen is really delicious. This is just the food prepared by the third chef. When will I be able to eat the food prepared by the first chef?

I really want to go to Zichen Palace for a free meal.

What Zining looks forward to most every day is the meal time. Whenever it is almost time for dinner, she sits at the table early and waits for the meal to start.

Today's lunch includes roasted beef, stir-fried three fresh vegetables, vegetarian stew, and a dish of mutton dumplings presented by the imperial kitchen.

Although the menu is simple, each dish is delicious and tasty.

"Player Zining, don't eat the vegetarian stew. It contains red musk powder."

Zining was just about to enjoy the meal, but was frightened by Dacongming's words.

"Was it Concubine Yin who did it?" Zi Ning thought about it. Although anyone in the harem could have done it, this person was more likely to be the one.

She has been favored recently, and maybe she will be lucky enough to have her own child.

But because the original owner had lost her child, she definitely could not accept that she was pregnant by the murderer who killed her child.

In fact, she was also very pitiful. She had to watch herself come out of the cold palace and become favored again, but she could do nothing about it.

"Yes, that's her. Bad girl Silver!"

"It's a pity that my vegetarian soup is gone. I can't eat it. Next I have to think about how to report this matter to the emperor." Zi Ning felt reluctant. The vegetarian soup looked delicious, but it was a pity that it couldn't be eaten.

"Great Conscience, what will happen if you take this red musk powder? What are the symptoms?"

"It's just a stomachache. It feels like menstrual pain, and the severity of the pain depends on the dosage." Dacongming told Zining the information he had looked up.

Zi Ning thought about it and called Ran Mo, "This young lady is not feeling well, please call Dr. Shen."

"Yes." Ran Mo bowed and went out.
