After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I was already exhausted after a whole day yesterday, and now I was woken up again early in the morning and worked for a long time. I felt a little irritable.

He Wan'er saw that I looked unhappy, so she quickly pushed the Ninth Prince to my side and said, "Ah Man, look, Xi'er looks so beautiful now."

The ninth prince was named Zheng Xi. He was a little shy and when he saw me, he hid behind He Wan'er.

Seeing Zheng Xi's soft and cute appearance, my irritability was immediately reduced a lot.

I searched my body and found no valuable coins. After serving tea, He Wan'er gave me a lot of things. I looked through them and found a high-quality jade pendant, a set of exquisite jade jewelry, gold bracelets, jade bracelets, pearl necklaces...

I wonder if she gave me all her belongings.

I took out a jade pendant, waved it in front of Zheng Xi, and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Zheng Xi glanced at me, then turned to look at He Wan'er. He looked so adorable, wanting something but not daring to ask for it.

He Wan'er smiled and said, "Why? Do you dislike the things I gave you? And why would you give them back?"

I put the jade pendant into Zheng Xi's hand and said, "How could that be? Didn't you forget to bring a gift for Brother Jiu? Take it first, and I'll find a better one to compensate you later."

He Wan'er waved her hands quickly and said, "I don't dare to accept them. These things were personally selected by His Majesty and sent to you."

He Wan'er took the jade pendant from Zheng Xi's hand and put it in my hand, saying, "You want to give Xiaojiu something, but next time. These are not suitable."

I didn't expect that these things were sent by Zheng Yan.

I put the jade pendant back on the tray and said, "Okay, next time I come over I'll bring some fun and delicious food for Brother Jiu."

He Wan'er never calls herself "Ai" in front of me, so I can be more casual in front of her. This is why I like to come to Fengyi Palace.

He Wan'er wanted to keep me for lunch, but Nanny Gui and Nanny Li urged me to go and offer tea to Concubine Gui and Concubine Yang, so I had to leave.

There were only two concubines left in the palace: Concubine Gui and Concubine Yang.

After Grand Tutor Gui rebelled, Zheng Xian did not punish Concubine Gui for her involvement in the conspiracy. No one could understand what Zheng Xian was thinking because no one dared to ask.

However, Concubine Gui was in poor health and had to stay in bed all day, so Zhao Fangping served her by her side.

Concubine Gui was quite satisfied with her niece. She spent a lot of money to hire the best teachers to teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting, hired the best embroiderer to teach her the most complicated Suzhou embroidery, and also invited a nanny who had served the former queen to teach her the palace rules. To put it bluntly, she wanted to teach her how to deal with palace fights.

Concubine Gui was determined to make Zhao Fangping the future queen. It is said that Zhao Fangping did not disappoint. Despite her young age, her scheming and means were beyond the reach of ordinary people. With Zheng Xian's tacit consent, it was a foregone conclusion that she would become the future queen.

As for Yang Guifei, she was honored by her son. As long as the fifth prince was still alive, she would be an unshakable presence in the harem.

Although the fifth prince made many mistakes, Zheng Xian did not kill him. He even made him a king and granted him fiefdoms, which shows that he still had hope for this son. As long as the fifth prince did not commit suicide, according to Zheng Yan's kind character, he would not do anything to him, and he would enjoy endless wealth and glory in his life.

As soon as I walked out of Fengyi Hall, the eunuch from Taihe Hall, following the order from the retired emperor, urgently summoned me to meet him. As for the part of serving tea to the two imperial concubines, I was spared.

I glanced at Nanny Gui and Nanny Li. Although the two maids knew that it was against etiquette, they could not disobey the order, so they had to let me follow my father-in-law.

I was naturally happy that I didn't have to serve tea, and even my steps became much lighter. Even Yang joked, "It seems that Concubine Shu is in a good mood today."

When I heard Yang call me "Empress Shufei", the rare bit of goodwill I had disappeared completely.

After getting on the carriage, I leaned against the window and looked at the lush green palace roads. I sighed and said, "This palace is really huge. I haven't been to many places. The farthest place I've been to before is the horse training ground. When the horses run there, yellow sand fills the sky and even the ground shakes. It's a spectacular scene."

As an imperial concubine, every word and action has to be controlled. Every day there are people around you telling you what not to do and what not to do. I'm afraid you can never go to places like horse training farms again.

Thinking of this, Yang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Yingchun and Yang followed the carriage all the way. In the palace, they were not qualified to ride in the same carriage with me. Even if I didn't mind, the nanny around me would never allow this to happen, so they could only walk obediently.

Every time I go out, Yingchun will prepare a small food basket for me, filled with all kinds of cakes. Seeing that it is almost noon, Yingchun reminded me: "Madam Shufei, I am afraid that we will not have a chance to eat when we arrive at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. How about you eat something to fill your stomach now?"

I pulled the basket not far away and handed it to Yingchun through the car window, saying, "I'm not hungry, but you two got up early in the morning to help me change clothes, comb my hair, and eat breakfast. You two haven't even had a bite to eat. Eat something now while you are free. I won't be able to take care of you two when I go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Yingchun happily took the food basket, but Yang snatched it away and stuffed it back into my hands, saying, "This is food prepared for the master. How can the master let the servants eat before the master? Please rest assured, Concubine Shu, we are definitely not hungry. When you were talking to the Queen just now, Yingchun and I were taken by the palace servants to eat something, so we are not hungry now."

Yingchun touched her hungry belly, swallowed hard, and agreed, "Yes, we are not hungry. Your Majesty, please keep some for yourself."

Yang had only been in the palace for one day, but she had already figured out the ins and outs of the palace. It seemed that Nanny Gui and Nanny Li had made great contributions.

I put the food basket casually. If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Damn palace rules. No wonder the women in the palace don't live long. It's probably because of these palace rules.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse Zheng Xian eight hundred times again.

When we arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I got off the carriage and, with the help of Yang, walked up the stairs to the hall.

I was fine and didn't need any help at all, but Yang said that this was what Nanny Gui taught her. The ladies in the palace had to be supported by someone when walking to show their dignity.

I don't know whether it is honorable or not, I only know that if I continue like this, I will become disabled sooner or later, and I will have to abolish these messy palace rules sooner or later.

I walked down the stairs with a lot of anger and came to the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this time, many ministers were guarding the gate. They didn't dare to enter the hall without being summoned.

These ministers were tired of standing, so they sat on the ground in an ungraceful manner. Their usual condescending look was gone, and they seemed quite down-to-earth.
