Traveled to ancient times and became a cheap little dad

On the day before the Lantern Festival, the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Changrou Palace was exceptionally lively. Although Wen Xia's expression was as indifferent as usual, a closer look revealed that he was in a good mood.

After she put on the specially embroidered imperial concubine costume, the palace maids and eunuchs said countless compliments to her.

"Your Highness entered the palace as a concubine, and it has only been a few months, and you have become a noble concubine. Even the Virtuous Consort cannot compare to her."

"Yes, the emperor's rewards are carried into our Changrou Palace like water. I don't know how many people are envious to death."

After asking, she straightened her clothes, touched her hairpin, and smiled lightly, "Don't be so careless. You keep talking about such a small thing."

"Also, you can say these words to please me, but if you dare to say them outside..."

The two maids Yue Shuang and Yue Jiao looked at each other and lowered their heads slightly, "Yes, I will write it down."

Wen Xia looked at herself in the mirror, and finally stood up with satisfaction. She held out her hand for Yue Jiao to help her walk out, "How are the preparations for the ceremony going?"

"Prepare more reward money, don't let people think we are stingy."

Yue Jiao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, everything is ready."

A young eunuch walked in from outside the door, knelt down on his knees, and wiped his forehead nervously, "Madam, Yue Nu is missing. I have been looking for her all night but couldn't find her."

Yue Shuang stepped forward somewhat unhappily and stopped him from continuing, "It's a great day, why would you report it later? Why would you choose this time to cause bad luck?"

Wen Xia waved her hand to stop her, sat down on the couch, and said softly but without emotion, "Yueping, tell me, what's going on?"

The young eunuch Yue Ping then spoke in a disjointed manner, "Madam, Yue Nu was hiding in the cold palace, and I brought him food once every night."

"As a result, the food I sent yesterday was not touched, so I went to look for him in the places he often went to, but I couldn't find him at all."

Yue Shuang frowned at him, then turned to Wen Xia and saluted, "My Lady, Yue Nu relies on the fact that she is not registered and always likes to run around. I think she will come back in two days."

"Let's not let him delay the auspicious time and the enthronement ceremony."

Wen Xia felt a little uneasy, "Yueping, take your people and look for it secretly. Don't make any noise."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Yue Ping took the order and walked out quickly, almost bumping into Li Quan who came to report the news, "How can you be a clerk if you are so reckless?"

"Eunuch, please spare me, Eunuch, please spare me." Yue Ping was so scared that she kept kowtowing.

Wen Xia heard the noise and rushed out to help. "Eunuch Li, this little eunuch is too reckless. I will teach him a lesson. Don't dirty your hands."

After saying this, he winked and Yue Shuang stepped forward and hit Yue Ping twice with both hands.

Li Quan said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Our family wasn't hit either. Please forgive him, Madam."

Yueping kowtowed and was dragged away by the other young eunuchs.

Wen Xia always had a faint smile on her face, "My father-in-law is kind, it's his blessing."

Li Quan smiled and nodded, "My Lady, the Emperor said he would come to attend your enthronement ceremony later, and asked me to come and tell you something."

"Thank you for taking the trip, eunuch." After giving a wink, Yue Jiao immediately took out a purse, which was bulging with silver.

Li Quan pretended to refuse twice, then accepted it with a smile.

The ceremony went smoothly, and Yan Wan and Shi Yanxue also arrived to congratulate Changrou Palace.

Jing Zhou gave Wen Xia enough respect. When everything was over, Jing Zhou took Wen Xia's hand and returned to the inner room of Changrou Palace with a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The two sat side by side on the bed, followed by Yan Wan and Shi Yanxue, who sat on stools.

Yue Jiao and Yue Shuang knelt on the ground, one on each side, saying auspicious words, smiling all the time. Jing Zhou looked at the two of them, then turned to look at Wen Xia.

"Empress Wen has a good way of training her servants. These two girls have two good tongues."

This was a bit strange, Wen Xia smiled meekly, "Your Majesty is joking, it's just a parrot imitating others, I started practicing a few days in advance, Your Majesty, just take it as a joke."

Shi Yanxue and Yan Wan looked at each other, took out a handkerchief and tapped the corners of her lips, then lowered her eyes to look at the two people on the ground, "They are not bad, Your Majesty, can you be willing to let me take them back and teach the maids in my palace."

"They are lifeless every day, not as good as these two."

The two people kneeling on the ground were so nervous that their hands were shaking, but they didn't dare to speak casually.

Jing Zhou laughed twice, "It's rare for Concubine De to be so childish, Concubine, why don't you help her?"

Wen Xia moved her body and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, these two were brought by me from the palace. They have only been in the palace for a few months. They are not as good as the maids in the palace, not as good as..."

"Since the Imperial Concubine doesn't want it, then I don't want it." Shi Yanxue's voice seemed a little choked.

"I have made up my mind. It is settled like this."

Jing Zhou patted his knees and stood up, taking a few steps forward. Wen Xia remained kneeling with an ugly expression, "Your Majesty, these two cannot be taught..."

Jing Zhou interrupted her directly, "Your Highness should have assisted the Queen in managing the six palaces. Your Highness is so broad-minded, I dare not give you the power."

"Empress, I still need you to continue to worry about the affairs of the six palaces."

Yan Wan stood up and bowed, "I understand."

After Jing Zhou left, Yan Wan stood up straight and consoled him, "Sister Imperial Concubine, how come you've only been an Imperial Concubine for one day and you've already upset the Emperor?"

"This really shouldn't happen. Hey, I didn't expect you to be so reluctant to part with these two girls."

Shi Yanxue also stood up and sighed, "If I had known this, I would not have said anything. Sigh,"

"Sister Defei, the emperor will make the decision for you. What are you afraid of? They are just two maids." Yan Wan looked at her, unable to hide the smile in her eyes. She glanced at Wen Xia and felt a little better.

Wen Xia stood up with the help of Yue Shuang and Yue Jiao. The two girls were already pale as gold paper. They were thinking about how to refuse, but the next second, four palace maids came from outside the door. They were all tall, plump and very strong.

Yue Shuangyuejiao couldn't help but back away, shaking her head frantically, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't want to leave you, Your Majesty, please save me, wuwu..."

Four palace maids simply dragged one of the arms on the left and right, blocked the two men's mouths with two handkerchiefs, and dragged them out forcibly.

Wen Xia clenched her fingers, trying her best to hide her feelings, and forced a smile, "Empress, Concubine De, what is the purpose of doing this today?"

Shi Yanxue took a step back in fear and hid behind Yan Wan, "My Lady, I will let them stay for a few days. I guarantee nothing will go wrong."

Yan Wan straightened her chest. She had practiced before, so she was not afraid of her. Moreover, she did not believe that the other party would dare to attack directly. "Yes, borrow it for a few days. You won't be so stingy."

"Or do they know some little secret that Concubine Wen is afraid of being heard?"

With five fingers exerting force, her nails almost dug into the flesh. Wen Xia smiled and said, "Of course not. I don't have any secrets."

"Empress, Concubine De, I am also tired, so I will not stay with you any longer."

Yan Wan nodded, "Alright, I am indeed tired, let's go."

After the two of them left Changrou Palace, Wen Xia threw all the tea bowls, snack plates and other dishes on the table to the ground, "Damn it, damn it all."

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death."

"Someone is coming."

A woman in her forties came in. She obviously knew what had just happened and was a little anxious. "Madam, what should we do next?"

Wen Xia panted heavily and tried to calm herself down. "The most urgent thing is not to let them say anything that is unfavorable to me. The emperor is very suspicious and obviously has doubts."

"If they say anything, we will have no hope of recovery."

"Mammy, I want you to go..."

He gestured at his neck, and the latter nodded, obviously not the first time he had done this.
