However, the empress dowager at that time was completely focused on dealing with Xia Wanning, so she naturally couldn't think much about them.

Secondly, in the heart of the empress dowager, she obviously looked down on them. After all, such prostitutes, especially women like the empress dowager, were the ones she looked down upon the most.

If I hadn't been forced to find them,

But for Jiang Rong, she felt that even so, she did not treat them as human beings.

Originally, she thought that if they were sensible and performed well enough, she would give them a large sum of money and send them out of the palace after the matter was accomplished. Of course, that was also if they kept their mouths shut.

She would forever keep the fact that they served the emperor in the palace buried in her heart, and never mention it again.

But obviously, for Jiang Rong, she has been in the palace for so many years, and to her, there is no one who really keeps his mouth shut.

Only the mouths of the dead are the most confidential, aren't they?

Thinking of this, he was probably worried that Yu Huan would notice something. After all, Yu Huan was a woman who seemed to be quiet and young.

Jiang Rong claimed that Yu Huan was no match for her, at least that's what Jiang Rong thought before.

But during the few days since Yu Huan entered the palace, Jiang Rong suddenly discovered that Yu Huan was too clever. Other people were too clever for their own good, and even she herself was one of them. As for Yu Huan, she was indeed smart, but too smart. She was so smart that she knew when to stop.

Whether it was when she was young in the palace, fighting with so many women, or now, Jiang Rong became the winner of the last palace fight and sat firmly on the throne of the Empress Dowager Damu.

but--

To be honest, there are not many people that Jiang Rong can truly admire.

And Yu Huan in front of him is definitely one of them.

Perhaps it was because at this critical juncture, in front of someone as smart as Yu Huan, Jiang Rong also knew that some things should not be said too much, because some things, some words, can easily lead to more mistakes.

and so--

Jiang Rong covered her lips and pretended to cough, then changed the subject: "According to what the Queen said, how do you think Wu Zhaoyi's fate compared to that of Concubine Xia when she went to the Yangxin Palace to see the Emperor today?"

"Wu Zhaoyi is well-known in the palace for not having so many scheming and her heart is all on the emperor. I dare not estimate, but if the queen mother asks, I can only answer the queen mother that there is no comparison between Wu Zhaoyi and Xia Guifei."

"Oh?"

Hearing Yu Huan say this, Jiang Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "What do you mean, Queen?"

"I wonder if the Queen Mother still remembers the three-day favor that the Emperor showed to Concubine Wu a few days ago."

"I do remember this."

Not only did she remember it, she also had a very vivid impression of it. At that time, Jiang Rong was even happy that the emperor favored Wu Zhaoyi for three consecutive days.

After all, Xia Wanning no longer has the exclusive privilege of favor.

Even if it's a quarrel.

But at the same time, Jiang Rong also knew clearly that the reason why Wu Zhaoyi was favored by the emperor for three consecutive days was, to be honest, due to Yu Huan's contribution.

After all, if Yu Huan had not given advice to Wu Zhaoyi, how could Wu Zhaoyi herself, who had been neglected by the emperor for such a long time, be suddenly favored by the emperor for three days?

"The emperor has Concubine Xia in his heart. The reason why he favored Concubine Wu last time and favored her for three days was not only because he had Concubine Wu in his heart."

If it is said that the emperor has Wu Zhaoyi in his heart, Yu Huan does not deny it. No matter what, no matter how much the emperor likes Concubine Xia, all the concubines in the harem are his women.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

In addition, Wu Qingying had been in the palace for many years and had been favored by the emperor for a period of time.

Therefore, when people get along with each other for a long time, even if there is no affection between them, other family ties will still exist.

In addition, Wu Zhaoyi loved the emperor so much that she wanted to devote all her heart to him.

Just because of such deep affection, even if the emperor is facing so many women in the harem, if he meets one who is truly devoted to him and only cares about him and nothing else, based on this point alone, the emperor will not be willing to reject Wu Qingying.

Even in the emperor's heart, Wu Qingying has always been a well-behaved, obedient and sensible person.

Today, Xia Wanning went to the Yangxin Palace and had a big quarrel with the emperor there.

Perhaps, those involved are more confused than those who are on the sidelines.

The reason why the emperor was able to have a big quarrel with Concubine Xia in the Yangxin Palace was that when Concubine Xia was powerful, the emperor was very angry, and it was all thanks to the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu who comforted the emperor.

This just proves that the emperor has Xia Wanning in his heart and always has.

Otherwise, after Xia Wanning's disrespect to the emperor this time, the emperor would not have gotten angry and quarreled with her, or shown in front of her how much he loved and doted on the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu. Wasn't he just trying to anger and provoke her in front of Xia Wanning?

Compare this with Xia Wanning's disobedience. Since entering the palace, she has always relied on the emperor and has never lowered her noble head in front of the emperor.

Over time, the emperor initially indulged her and let her do whatever she wanted, because he had Xia Wanning in his heart.

Obviously it is the same now. The emperor's feelings for Xia Wanning have never changed. It has been like this from the beginning to the end.

If you really say that something has changed, then we can only say that it is a change in mentality.

Yu Huan was certain that the emperor had always had Xia Wanning in his heart. As for what the two of them talked about in Weiyang Palace that day, it was Concubine Xia who said something that made the emperor so angry that he left Weiyang Palace without looking back, and he never stepped into the gate of Weiyang Palace again since then.

Yu Huan was not curious about anything else, but to be honest, she was quite curious about what the Emperor and Concubine Xia said in the Weiyang Palace that day.

I was also very curious about what the two of them talked about in Weiyang Palace.

The emperor had always been so tolerant and indulgent towards Xia Wanning, and had been riding on her head and acting wildly in recent years, but now she was completely ignored by the emperor.

Yu Huan's words still enabled Jiang Rong to understand some of the meaning behind her words.

Jiang Rong narrowed her eyes and stared at Yu Huan for a while: "The Queen means that the Emperor is not really obsessed with the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu? He is not completely bewitched by them?"

But how is this possible?

No matter how much she believed in Yu Huan's intelligence and talent, she knew clearly that her judgment would not be wrong.

only--

If Yu Huan brought up Concubine Wu, she would be sure that her useless son was just playing around with Concubine Wu. No matter how good he was to Concubine Wu, who in the palace didn't know it?

Who can't see that?

The emperor was just being nice to Wu Zhaoyi on purpose, and then using Wu Zhaoyi to provoke Xia Wanning.

When the emperor saw Xia Wanning was angry and irritated, he felt so happy in his heart. This was just the extent of his achievement!

He relied on other women to prove his position in Xia Wanning's heart. If Xia Wanning showed the slightest dissatisfaction or jealousy, the emperor would be as happy as a child!

Jiang Rong got angry when she thought of this.

I'm really angry!

Her good-for-nothing son is really good-for-nothing!

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is your biological son. Don't you know your biological son well?"

Yu Huan's words stumped Jiang Rong.

I was completely stumped by the question.

Speaking of understanding, it is obvious that she understands her own son. After all, he is the son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. He is her own flesh and blood. Moreover, from the moment Ye Ling was born, Jiang Rong had always kept him by her side and had never given him to anyone else to raise.

Therefore, no one knows her son's character better than Jiang Rong.

only……

Before this, Jiang Rong was obviously very clear about the character of her son.

But obviously the situation is different now, especially in the years since Xia Wanning entered the palace, she and Xia Wanning have been fighting openly and secretly, causing her son to be caught in the middle and feel embarrassed.

In the years since Xia Wanning entered the palace, Jiang Rong has had less contact and meeting with her son.

Although they have reconciled now, her son still often comes to her Cining Palace to pay his respects.

But for some reason, Jiang Rong always felt that the relationship between her and the emperor was no longer the same as it was at the beginning, when they could talk about anything.

But -

Thinking of this, Jiang Rong sighed helplessly and said earnestly, "Although the emperor is a playboy and a womanizer, there has never been an emperor in history. Not to mention the emperor, which man in this world is not a playboy and a womanizer? Being playboy and a womanizer is the character of every man."

But even though his son was lustful, as an emperor, he still had what he should have.

After Xia Wanning entered the palace, some of the emperor's actions made people feel that he was too obsessed with beauty and was unbecoming of an emperor.

The Queen Mother was silent, with her head down, as if she was thinking about something.

Yu Huan smiled and said, "It is precisely because the emperor is the emperor that the empress dowager feels the same as others that the emperor's actions are not in line with his demeanor as an emperor. If the empress dowager thought about the emperor from a different perspective, she would not have such prejudice and opinions towards the emperor or Concubine Xia."

Hearing Yu Huan say this, Jiang Rong became interested and looked at her: "Oh? What does the Queen Mother mean? To change my perspective on the Emperor and Concubine Xia?"

Yu Huan smiled slightly: "Can the Queen Mother guarantee that she won't be angry after I say these words?"

She knew that Yu Huan was doing this for her own good. Besides, Yu Huan now belonged to her camp. Everyone would think so. To be honest, Jiang Rong would not be angry with her even if she said good things about Xia Wanning in front of her.

Anyway, she had already offended Xia Wanning completely, so Jiang Rong was not afraid at all that Yu Huan and Xia Wanning would join forces.
