After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"Well, then I will go to the palace to accompany her whenever I am free, and the eunuch can also persuade the empress dowager." Gu Zhiyin said.

Yu En looked at Gu Zhiyin meaningfully, and said quietly: "Princess, the Queen Mother has always been strong, and the words of the servants are useless. Forgive me for being so bold, but the Queen Mother is getting older and is not as good as she was before. She was assassinated not long ago and was accidentally frightened. She is sometimes awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, so she has to take care of herself. This time, the second son of the Qin family followed the Duke of the Protectorate to suppress bandits, and the Queen Mother dared not relax for a moment, and she was even more busy."

Gu Zhiyin stroked his chin, and from Yu En's description, he imagined the scene where the empress dowager was busy with government affairs all day and forgot to eat and sleep.

The harem has never been a comfortable place. It is difficult for women to survive there, let alone the Queen Mother Qin who holds real power and shares half of the court with the emperor.

It is even more difficult.

She had no control over how others evaluated the Queen Mother. Gu Zhiyin only knew that the Queen Mother treated her very well and loved her like a junior.

Well, I have been to the palace for the past two days. Government affairs are important, but I can’t ignore my own health.

Gu Zhiyin was just thinking about it when she heard Yu En ask, "By the way, why is the Princess looking for me so anxiously?"

As he spoke, he held up the teacup and took a sip with care.

Ah, the princess herself brewed the tea and poured it for him personally!

Speaking of which, Gu Zhiyin pushed a brocade box beside her in front of Yu En and opened it.

Yu En looked down and was stunned by the thick stack of banknotes inside.

This... Is the Princess trying to bribe me?

That won’t work. He can accept money from anyone but not the Princess of the County.

No matter if it means going through fire and water, as long as the princess says a word, Yu En will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation.

Yu En was thinking about it in his mind and was about to refuse with a righteous tone when he heard Gu Zhiyin explain the reason.

The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"The Shen family whose son was a deserter? They are not good people. They deserved to have their home robbed."

"Using the Shen family's money to do good deeds to gain a good reputation for the Queen Mother, the Princess of the County is wise and brave."

"Yes, yes, I will arrange it right away."

Fifty thousand taels was not a lot for Yu En. As the chief eunuch of the Cining Palace and a favorite of the empress dowager, the coffins he had saved up over the years were worth more than fifty thousand taels, not to mention the empress dowager's fabulous private vault.

There is no comparison at all.

But using other people's money to benefit the Queen Mother is a special achievement.

Yu En happily wrapped the brocade box, thinking that she would return to the palace to report to the Queen Mother later. Maybe the Queen Mother would be so happy that she would eat an extra bowl of rice.

The Princess of the County has good news, and she is really thinking about the Queen Mother.

Isn’t this niece’s adopted daughter better than the Qin family’s relatives?

What's the use of those legitimate grandchildren of the Qin family, other than sucking up to gain benefits for themselves and showing off their power by relying on the relationship with the Queen Mother?

Cining Palace!

When Yu En came back, Queen Mother Qin was having lunch. Her expressionless face showed her majesty without even being angry. She was quietly setting the table.

After taking a few sips of the soup, Queen Mother Qin put down the spoon and pushed the bowl aside: "I am full."

Tazhi paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and said tentatively: "Empress Dowager, please eat some more."

Since the Queen Mother returned to the palace, her appetite has been worse than before.

Even though the Queen Mother didn't say it, those who served her closely knew in their hearts that the assassination attempt was one of the reasons, but it was the death of Prince Qi and the betrayal of Nanny Zhou that broke the Queen Mother's heart.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager!" Yu En trotted into the hall.

Queen Mother Qin glanced at him coldly: "What are you arguing about?"
