Lady Mei saw me off with a very kind attitude.
But, only you know what you are thinking in your heart.
In Cirui Palace, Empress Dowager Feng was lying down to recuperate. She had not yet fully recovered from her illness and often suffered from headaches.
"It is said that the fifth prince also received a reward from the emperor." said Madam Zhuang.
"That's good. Su Xin doesn't understand, the second prince... although he is the eldest, it's a pity." It's a pity that although the emperor loves him, it is impossible for him to be the crown prince now.
"I am only concerned about the Feng family. With the Feng family in this state, how could anyone in the court support the Second Prince?"
"Your Majesty sees it clearly, and Concubine Qian Shu will also understand it." said Madam Zhuang.
"She doesn't understand, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand. It's just that... she can't stand any more mistakes. The Feng family's glory for generations is now only supported by the two of us women. Once I'm gone, can she carry on to the end? Even if she does, she will become a concubine in the future..."
Or maybe she even walked in front of the emperor.
What did the Feng family have at that time
So, she had to plan and couldn't help but think about it.
"How is Shuyuxuan?"
"To answer your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is still the same. He is normal during the day, but he will inevitably have nightmares at night. If this continues for a long time, he will inevitably become weak."
"Well, isn't that the case with this child's body? It's sometimes good and sometimes bad. The Ninth Prince is blessed with a long life, so he should get better."
Madam Zhuang lowered her eyes: "Yes."
Nanny Zhuang went outside and sighed softly. Her queen had been strong-willed all her life, but unfortunately she was not destined to be strong.
She was clearly the empress of the late emperor, but she was always suppressed throughout her life.
In the past it was Concubine Yang, and now it is Empress Dowager Li. They are really suppressing her and making it difficult for her to move.
Unfortunately, she has no children, and her mother's family is now in ruins.
The queen had no children of her own, so naturally her thoughts were on her natal family. For the Feng family, she really gave everything.
Now we have to make plans for the Feng family.
Nanny Zhuang has followed Empress Dowager Feng all her life. Although she did not come from her mother's family, she has been serving the Empress Dowager since she entered the palace.
It has been forty-one years now.
The queen has grown from a young girl to what she is now, but she has nothing...
Nanny Zhuang felt upset but didn't want to say anything. It was the Empress's business, so she would just do her best.
Changle Palace is a very peculiar place.
Before, because of the existence of Concubine Yi, Changle Palace was the best palace in the palace and was visited by the emperor most often.
This was once the most lively place, where people below held high positions and paid homage.
However, with Concubine Yi's illness and loss of favor in the last two years, Changle Palace gradually became deserted.
Later, there was no master here, leaving only Sun Gengyi who was not considered a master.
Another Han.
Han's fate was not good, and Sun Gengyi was not even qualified to sleep with her.
This Changle Palace seems to be a cursed existence.
Until the beautiful lady Rose moved in.
Rose beauties are young, lively, and beautiful with charm.
She doesn't really care what's going on here.
However, she didn't like Sun Gengyi. Sun Gengyi had a very bad life in the past few years. It was nothing compared to when she was still called Huashan and was a maid in Changle Palace.
She also had a share of the profits, but a change of clothes itself didn't mean much, and even if there was, she wouldn't get much.
She never received any extra rewards during the holidays, and the little money she received each year was not enough for her daily expenses.
Just barely surviving.
Although she had been trying to gain favor in the past few years, she now realized that the emperor simply hated her.
She hated Concubine Yi in her heart, but Concubine Yi had died long ago.
The weather was bad today and it was drizzling, and Sun Gengyi was punished to kneel in the rain.
Mei Mei was sitting in the corridor drinking tea, whispering: "You are not convinced now? With your status, you are not even as good as the maids in front of me. What are you not convinced of? Isn't it your duty to serve me? What, after a few years of dressing, you don't know how to serve others?"
"I dare not." Sun Gengyi was trembling all over, feeling cold, angry, and afraid.
"Since you don't dare, you should know who you are in the future. If you satisfy me, I can help you so that you won't freeze to death in the winter. Are you treated the same as the maids outside in winter?"
Sun Gengyi lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, but his heart was moved.
"I don't think you are a fool." Mei Mei said lightly.
"I don't know... I don't know what the beauty wants to know? I will tell you everything I know." Sun Gengyi trembled, but he couldn't help but be tempted.
"Okay, just tell me what you know. I guess you have been in the palace for so many years, and have followed your previous master for many years. You must know something about the big and small things in the palace, right?" Mei Mei smiled and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you help Sun Gengyi change his clothes first, and then come and talk to me?"
Sun Gengyi hurriedly said that he didn't dare to get up and go change his clothes first.
She didn't even have anyone to serve her over the years. There was someone originally, but he had found a way to leave a long time ago.
She was just a dresser who couldn't serve the emperor in bed, so she didn't deserve to be served.
"Master, if you do this, she won't dare to be disloyal." Fu Yue said with a smile.
"Hmph, am I afraid that she's not loyal? I just thought that maybe I could still use her." Mei Mei sighed: "There are too many experts in this harem, and I have to be careful every step I take. It would be a good thing to have more protection."
Fu Yue smiled and said yes.
Soon, Sun Gengyi came. She didn't know where to start, but she decided not to finish it today.
Just take your time.
At nightfall, there was finally some decent food on Sun Gengyi's dining table.
The Great Yi Dynasty was prosperous, the empress was generous, and the emperor's private treasury was also abundant. It can be said that the concubines in the harem lived a much more comfortable life than the harems of Qi Yixiu's grandfather, great-grandfather, and other empresses.
Even if it was a Baolin, the food was good, but there were no snacks or anything like that.
So it stands to reason that for one change of clothes, there should be two dishes for lunch, and it is also acceptable to have a soup for dinner.
But that's normal.
She is clearly not normal.
So in the past few years, she did not go hungry or eat rotten food, but the food on her table was probably not very good.
She was touched to see four dishes and one soup with all the colors, aroma and taste today.
"My lady said that Yao Baolin in Cuiyunxuan has not been in bed with the emperor for thousands of years, and has not been promoted to a higher position, but he still wears fine clothes and eats delicious food. This is all because of the care of Empress Jing Zhaoyi. It won't be difficult for us in Changle Palace to have that day. It all depends on how my lady goes, and how you, Sun Gengyi, help, right?"
Sun Gengyi understood and quickly stood up and bowed: "I will definitely be loyal to my beautiful mistress."
Fu Yue went back with a smile, thinking that our master doesn't value your loyalty, but just wants to see if you can still be useful.
I believe Sun Gengyi himself is also aware of this.
