Empress Dowager Xu did not expect Zeng Rou and Azhi to come to the Cining Palace together.

Seeing Zeng Rou following Azhi respectfully, Empress Dowager Xu was quite curious.

What methods did Azhi use to make Zeng Rou so obedient?

Ah Zhi stepped forward and saluted politely

Today, Azhi is wearing a light pink apricot jacket on top and a green and yellow pleated skirt on the bottom.

There was a tender white jade pendant tied around her waist, and the tassel swayed gently with Ahzhi's movements.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother."

I had been thinking that since Ah Zhi was here to pay his respects, I would give him a good scolding.

But looking at Zeng Rou who was lowering her head and looking submissive, Empress Dowager Xu gave Azhi a loving smile.

"Good boy, get up and sit down quickly."

Compared to the disgusting Zeng Rou, Empress Dowager Xu finds Azhi more pleasing to her.

She slid the seven-colored glass string in her hand, and her eyes fell lightly on Zeng Rou.

"Are you here to give me a copy of the Buddhist scriptures?"

Zeng Rou stepped forward and bowed, "Your servant greets the Queen Mother."

"Okay, let it go."

Mrs. Xu spoke with impatience.

This made Zeng Rou pause.

Just now, Empress Dowager Xu spoke softly to Azhi.

But when it was Zeng Rou's turn, she spoke coldly.

This made Zeng Rou feel very uncomfortable.

She gritted her teeth and endured her unwillingness, put down the Buddhist scripture in her hand, and was about to leave when a little palace maid ran in.

He just whispered in Empress Dowager Xu's ear.

The Empress Dowager Xu's expression suddenly changed.

"What did you say? Are you serious?"

The glass string in her hand fell to the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Ahzhi held the teacup and shook it gently, with a gloating smile on his face.

It seems that Empress Dowager Xu knows about the affairs of the Yangxin Palace.

As long as Su Xiaoqian succeeds, it would be like stabbing Zeng Rou in the heart.

Nanny Chen stepped forward and picked up the glass string.

As an old man who had served the empress dowager for decades, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Empress Dowager Xu.

She stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What happened to the Queen Mother? Is she feeling unwell?"

While asking, he handed the glass string to Empress Dowager Xu.

Empress Dowager Xu said solemnly, "Go to the Yangxin Palace."

Azhi looked at Empress Dowager Xu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Queen Mother?"

Let me go and watch the show.

Facing Azhi's puzzled gaze, Empress Dowager Xu narrowed her eyes and nodded.

"Follow me to the Yangxin Palace. There are some things that require you to come with me. You are the only concubine in the palace now."

Only when there is a threat can there be competition. Today's Concubine Xian is too content with the status quo.

She didn't care about giving birth to an imperial heir at all, and she didn't even care about Rong on a daily basis.

She has absolutely no idea how to win a man's heart.

Now that something has happened in the Yangxin Palace, I have to take her to take a good look.

She is not the only woman in the palace.

Empress Dowager Xu looked at Zeng Rou and lowered her voice.

"Such a big thing happened in Yangxin Palace. Zeng Rou, you are the head maid of Yangxin Palace. Come with me back to take a look."

Seeing the coldness in Empress Dowager Xu's eyes, Zeng Rou couldn't help but feel panicked.

What happened? Why did the Queen Mother look so solemn?

Something happened in the Yangxin Palace?

Fu Rong?

But no matter how she guessed, she couldn't figure it out. She could only nod respectfully and follow Empress Dowager Xu and Azhi.

A good show is now being staged in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Manager Li was standing outside the door, listening to the sounds of joy from inside. He stroked his nose and thought to himself that Su Xiaoqian was really good at this.

The young eunuch beside him stamped his feet anxiously.

"Eunuch Li, what should we do? Aunt Zeng Rou doesn't allow His Majesty to hang out with the palace maids..."

Zeng Rou usually has a bad temper, but she has a high prestige in the Yangxin Palace.

Originally, Chief Eunuch Li had served the late emperor, and he was in charge of all the affairs of the Yangxin Palace.

However, after Fu Rong ascended the throne, he asked General Manager Li to give up his power, and Zeng Rou was fully responsible for the Yangxin Palace.

How could there be no resentment in my heart?

How dare the little girl climb onto my head?

Now it's time for her to fall.

"What should I do?"

Manager Li sneered and looked down upon him.

"She is just the head maid of the Yangxin Palace. She is not our master. Why are you so afraid of her?"

How can you not be afraid?

Fu Rong values ​​Zeng Rou, and they, the ordinary eunuchs, are inferior to her.

In the room, Su Xiaoqian was disheveled, allowing Fu Rong to press her on the bed for pleasure.

Although she was also moved, she was more happy because she got what she wanted.

The loose dress was rose pink in color, with Zeng Rou's magnolia flowers embroidered on it.

This dress is not Zeng Rou's, but it happens to be Zeng Rou's favorite color and pattern.

"Arou, I love you..."

Listening to Fu Rong's unconscious cries, Su Xiaoqian didn't mind at all. She hugged him tightly and kissed him.

Empress Dowager Xu and her men arrived at the right time, just as Fu Rong and Su Xiaoqian had finished their battle.

But the marks on the two men's bodies and the mess on the bed all showed that it was a tough battle.

Su Xiaoqian blushed and pulled up the quilt to cover herself.

"I'm sorry, my slave."

Empress Dowager Xu was just about to say something.

But there is already someone who is one step ahead of her.

The pink figure pounced forward.

Zeng Rou actually rushed forward and pulled Su Xiaoqian.

"Bitch! I'm going to kill you!"

You can see that her eyes are red, and she is obviously extremely angry.

Such indecent behavior made Empress Dowager Xu frown in displeasure.

Ah Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What happened to Aunt Zeng Rou? His Majesty is visiting a palace maid, and the Queen Mother is not angry yet. Why did she ignore the Queen Mother and pounce on her so rudely?"

Originally, Empress Dowager Xu felt that Su Xiaoqian seduced Fu Rong, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

She was just a lowly palace maid, how could she climb onto the dragon bed and dream of rising to the top?

But seeing Zeng Rou pulling Su Xiaoqian in an unruly manner was even more annoying.

Yes.

She is the empress dowager, the emperor's biological mother.

Does Zeng Rou want to take over other people's business?

She looked at Nanny Chen and ordered in a cold voice, "It's not a scandal that the emperor favors a palace maid. Have someone drag Zeng Rou away. How can the head maid of the Yangxin Palace behave so vulgarly?"

Zeng Rou on the other side had gone crazy.

Every attack was intended to land on Su Xiaoqian's face.

But Su Xiaoqian was smart and knew how to get into Fu Rong's arms.

Looking at the two of them pressed together naked, and the traces of pleasure on their bodies.

Zeng Rou cursed incoherently, "You are so shameless, I will kill you, bitch."

At this moment, Fu Rong woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zeng Rou's ferocious expression.

He was slightly startled at first.

But when I came to my senses, I was shocked.

He favored Su Xiaoqian.

Azhi's blood will not cause amnesia.

It just increases people's sexual desire and stimulates the most primitive desires.

Fu Rong remembered everything clearly.

Nanny Chen asked the eunuch to come forward and hold Zeng Rou.

Ke Zengrou stared at the two of them with tears in her eyes.

It's like catching the wife cheating in bed.

Empress Dowager Xu looked at Zeng Rou's crazy appearance and felt that there was something indescribable strange about her.

"Zeng Rou, when the emperor is in his prime, it is very common for him to favor a palace maid. The Emperor Shengzu's Chen Fei and Ming Fei, the Emperor Yuanzu's Jing Fei, the Emperor Xiandi's Liang Gui Fei and Yuan Meiren were all palace maids."

"Why are you so excited?"

Zeng Rou is too extreme.

She looked pale and lowered her head, "I am concerned about your majesty. Now the Yangxin Palace is managed by me."

"Su Xiaoqian is a girl I brought up. She has ulterior motives and is unscrupulous. I was so angry that I lost my mind."

In response to Zeng Rou's explanation, Empress Dowager Xu fiddled with the glass beads, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Who the emperor favors has nothing to do with you. You must know your own identity."

There was a flash of panic in Zeng Rou's eyes.

Fu Rong, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, came to his senses and pushed Su Xiaoqian away from his arms.

But since she was not wearing any clothes, she could only hide in the quilt and worry, fearing that Empress Dowager Xu would punish Zeng Rou.

He said anxiously, "Mother, please let your son put on his clothes."

The palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside the door.

But Empress Dowager Xu and Azhi were in the house.

Empress Dowager Xu took a deep breath and sighed, "Forget it, Your Majesty, please get dressed first. I and Concubine Xian will be waiting for you outside."

"Yes."

She is strong though.

But don't step on your own son's self-esteem.

You still have to leave space for the other person to put on clothes.

Everyone left the room.

Queen Mother Xu looked at Zeng Rou again.

The cold wind outside woke Zeng Rou up.

She has completely come back to her senses.

I know that my behavior just now was really inappropriate.

But it was too late to regret now, and she could only kneel on the ground with her hands tied behind her back by the eunuchs.

A moment later.

Fu Rong came out of the room, and Su Xiaoqian followed closely behind.

Facing Zeng Rou's eyes that looked like she wanted to eat him.

Su Xiaoqian straightened her chest and lowered her eyes to salute.

"This servant greets the Queen Mother and the Consort Xian."

Empress Dowager Xu looked at Su Xiaoqian and was not interested in her ordinary appearance.

I'm just curious about how the other party hooked up with Fu Rong.

Be it family background or appearance, she was no match for the beautiful Concubine Xian who came from a famous family. However, she managed to seduce Fu Rong and had him in the Yangxin Palace.

Empress Dowager Xu said calmly, "Get up, Nanny Chen, bring chairs for the Emperor and Su Xiaoqian to sit down."

This is a disguised recognition of Su Xiaoqian's identity.

But Fu Rong hesitated to speak and was unwilling to sit down.

Empress Dowager Xu looked at Fu Rong and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Emperor, why don't you sit down?"

There was something else that could not be seen. Fu Rong kept glancing at Zeng Rou.

It was clear at first glance that he wanted to plead for Zeng Rou.

Thinking about how Zeng Rou has always been by Fu Rong's side all these years.

Empress Dowager Xu felt both helpless and angry.

It is obvious that she is Fu Rong’s biological mother.

But Fu Rong puts Zeng Rou first.

Empress Dowager Xu's sharp eyes fell on Zeng Rou.

"You are the head maid of the Yangxin Palace. Although it is the emperor's temper today, it is still your fault that you are not doing your job well."

"She doesn't even know what's going on in her own palace, and she lost her manners by scolding and beating Su Xiaoqian. How can she be qualified to be the head maid?"

I think of Li, the former steward of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Empress Dowager Xu asked Nanny Chen, "Where is the chief steward of the Yangxin Palace, Li? I remember that he was the one who worked for the late emperor all the time. He was a capable man. Why don't I see him now?"

Anyone who could be remembered by Empress Dowager Xu must have been a prominent figure when the late emperor was alive.

Nanny Chen had heard a little about what was happening in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

After all, Steward Li had served the late emperor, although Fu Rong didn't like him very much.

But he was still allowed to stay in the Yangxin Palace, but he was not allowed to interfere too much and did not enjoy the power he had before.

Nanny Chen replied to Empress Dowager Xu.

"His Majesty doesn't like Li Zongguan hanging around, so he has arranged for him to be relocated to another part of the Yangxin Palace."

"The Queen Mother is looking for Steward Li, but what's the matter?"

Butler Li actually has a good relationship with Nanny Chen.

The two of them entered the palace together and climbed up from the grassroots.

One was beside the late emperor, and the other was beside the empress dowager.

However, after Fu Rong ascended the throne, the position of Chief Steward Li was given to Zeng Rou.

Since she could help her old friend, Nanny Chen would naturally seize the opportunity.

Ah Zhi thought that Manager Li was Chen Yue's master, and that he was able to get things done thanks to Manager Li's help.

She turned to Queen Mother Xu and asked, "Queen Mother, I heard that Li Zongguan was helping the late emperor in the past? Why did the affairs of the Yangxin Palace fall into Aunt Zeng Rou's hands now?"

Why?

Of course it’s my good son.

Queen Mother Xu snorted in dissatisfaction, "He is in a position without any ability, and only knows how to flatter and curry favor. I cannot stand such people."

Listening to Empress Dowager Xu's sarcasm, Zeng Rou lowered her head quietly.

"Mother, Zeng Rou is not as bad as you say."

Fu Rong was immediately unhappy when her baby was wronged.

This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, as Empress Dowager Xu was already angry.

She simply said to Fu Rong in a cold voice, "Do you want me to punish her? According to palace rules, fifty palace sticks on the waist will tear the skin and flesh apart, and her life will be on the line. I agree to let her continue to be the head aunt of the Yangxin Palace."

The implication was very simple: either she was beaten half to death and continued to be the majestic aunt in charge, or she had to give up power and return it to Manager Li.

If a palace maid was beaten with the cane fifty times, her lower body would be basically crippled.

Zeng Rou's face turned pale and she felt a chill on her back. If her body was injured, how would she give birth to a prince in the future?

Seeing that Fu Rong was about to plead for mercy for him.

She said anxiously, "Queen Mother, I was wrong. It's all my fault. I didn't discipline you properly. I won't dare to do it again."

Seeing that the person she loved agreed to give up power, Fu Rong gritted her teeth in pain and clenched her fists secretly.

I have wronged Arou.

Ah Zhi looked at the infatuated couple in front of him and felt extremely comfortable.

What a pitiful pair of mandarin ducks.

Empress Dowager Xu shook the glass beads in her hand and instructed Nanny Chen, "From now on, all matters of the Yangxin Palace will be handed over to General Manager Li. As for Zeng Rou, let her be an ordinary first-class palace maid. Why give her such great power?"

"The head aunt? Such a big thing happened in Yangxin Palace, but she just acted crazy and acted crazy. She is really unworthy of her position."

It was unknown what Empress Dowager Xu was thinking of, but she glanced at Azhi and finally looked at Su Xiaoqian.

"Since Su Xiaoqian and the emperor are in love, in order for the emperor to have more children and live up to his ancestors, I agree that the emperor will give her a status."

When Su Xiaoqian heard that Empress Dowager Xu was going to give her a status, she was so happy.

Just about to stand up to thank you.

"Mother!"

Fu Rong took two steps forward and spoke sharply.

"What does mother want to do? My son and Su Xiaoqian are not in love with each other at all. She schemed against me. How could you let me give her a name without knowing the truth?"

Zeng Rou's eyes were red with a hint of dullness and unwillingness, which made Fu Rong's heart feel like it was being cut by a knife.

He said more urgently, "The Queen Mother should block the news and give me a cup of poisoned wine as soon as possible, as if what happened today never happened."

What a cruel heart!

Empress Dowager Xu was so frightened that she almost couldn't hold the glass string.

"What did you say?"
