My elder sister forced me to change my marriage? I became the favorite in the harem by eating melons
Chapter 24: Has the Emperor made things difficult for the Empress?
Nanny Zhang had expected the emperor to come to Kunning Palace.
What Nanny Zhang didn't expect was that the emperor would come so soon.
"that's true."
She nodded. "Looking back over the years in Great Xiliang, there have been very few emperors who have doted on a woman as unscrupulously as Your Majesty has."
"Has the Emperor troubled the Empress?"
Yu Huan burst out laughing.
This time, it was Qiu'er who spoke up and said, "Madam Zhang, you don't know that when the emperor came to Kunning Palace, my queen was not in Kunning Palace. Instead, she went to Cining Palace to pay respects to the queen mother."
Hearing this, Nanny Zhang was stunned at first, but then she quickly reacted and looked at the quiet and beautiful girl in front of her with surprise.
When she learned that the Queen Mother had really followed her advice and withheld the ice from the Weiyang Palace, she was deeply moved that the Queen Mother valued and attached importance to her suggestion.
At the same time, she also knew that this was the only way for the queen couple to establish their authority in the harem and convince all the concubines.
Similarly, this would offend two people at the same time, namely Concubine Xia and the Emperor.
If the Queen Mother offends any one of them, it will have a great impact on the Queen's stable position in the harem in the future.
But the Queen Mother finally accepted her suggestion.
Even Nanny Zhang herself had not expected how the Empress would deal with the wrath of the Emperor and Concubine Xia after adopting her method. Who would have known that the Empress would go directly to the Cining Palace and use the Empress Dowager as her backer?
Even though the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor has become less favorable than before since Concubine Xia entered the palace, the Empress Dowager is still the Emperor's biological mother after all.
If the Queen Mother insisted on protecting someone, not to mention Concubine Xia, even the Emperor would be helpless.
Thanks to Nanny Zhang, who had been keeping an eye on every move in Kunning Palace since the ice in Weiyang Palace was withheld, as quiet as when the queen had not yet entered the palace after a day's delay.
She was a little worried, so at night, unable to contain her worry for the queen, she came over personally holding an umbrella.
"It seems that my worries are unnecessary. The Queen has her own way to deal with it."
"only……"
At this point, Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment: "This kind of thing can be avoided on the first day, but it can't be avoided on the fifteenth. I just heard from Nanny Yue that the emperor will come to Kunning Palace tomorrow. Before leaving, he specifically told Nanny Yue to let the queen stay in Kunning Palace tomorrow and not go anywhere else."
Nanny Zhang raised her head with some worry: "The emperor has said so much, the queen can no longer avoid seeing the emperor, otherwise it would be against the emperor's will."
"I wonder if the Queen will have any solution for tomorrow?"
"It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. As the queen of Great Xiliang, I will encounter many more serious things in the future. How can I avoid it just by wanting to?"
"Besides, I went to the Cining Palace today not to avoid the emperor intentionally, but because I thought that since I had entered the palace, the empress dowager was the emperor's biological mother. As the empress, the empress dowager's future daughter-in-law must pay her respects to her future mother-in-law."
"I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the emperor would suddenly come to Kunning Palace today."
Seeing Yu Huan's serious look, perhaps others would believe it.
Obviously, Nanny Zhang didn't believe it.
But she didn't point it out, but carefully asked Yu Huan what he meant: "Then will the ice cubes in Weiyang Palace be distributed as usual tomorrow, or..."
At this point, Nanny Zhang paused again: "The Empress has just entered the palace, and now the Emperor has intervened in this matter. For the Empress's future status in the harem, the matter of the ice in Weiyang Palace should be..." "Since the rules have to be re-established, how can we give up halfway?"
"If the rules of the harem can be broken so easily, then what's the point of me being the queen? It would be better to leave it as it was before, and there will be no shortage of queens in the harem of Da Xiliang."
"Madam Zhang, do you think what I said makes sense?"
The girl was not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but her behavior was too steady and mature.
Even when she spoke, she had a calm and composed expression, with a smile on her face all the time, which made her look gentle and approachable to outsiders.
But in the eyes of Aunt Zhang, she was full of wisdom and seemed approachable. In fact, when dealing with any matter, the difficulties that others saw could be easily handled by her.
I don't know why, Yu Huan didn't tell me how to deal with the emperor tomorrow. But she gave me the feeling that she was sure of victory.
"In this case, I am relieved. Tomorrow, I will follow the Queen's instructions and distribute ice cubes in Weiyang Palace as usual."
"Do not."
Yu Huan smiled slightly and looked at her harmlessly: "Every day."
Nanny Zhang's heart skipped a beat. She was infected by Yu Huan's confident look and quickly said respectfully, "Yes."
……
"My queen, do you think this Aunt Zhang really wants to do something for us, or is she approaching you with a purpose?"
After Aunt Zhang left, Qiu'er looked at her leaving figure thoughtfully: "It's so late, and it's raining so hard outside, and she can still come here."
It was obvious that Nanny Zhang had only met the Empress once, and she was not like her, serving the Empress all the time.
At this point, Qiu'er seemed to suddenly think of something, she covered her mouth, and suddenly cried out in a strange voice: "Ah! Madam, it's raining so hard outside, and Nanny Yue is still kneeling outside!"
Nanny Yue is so old, her health is definitely not as good as that of a young person. Besides, it is raining so heavily outside. If something unexpected happens tonight, the Empress will have a hard time explaining to the Madam and the Prime Minister.
Who knew that after hearing Qiu'er's words, Yu Huan acted as if he didn't hear them.
Instead, she answered her previous sentence: "Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. Since I plan to make use of Nanny Zhang, I must believe in her loyalty to me. Besides..." In her previous life, Nanny Zhang was a loyal and protective woman. Once she recognized her master, she would not blink an eye for the sake of her master, even if it meant going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
What Yu Huan needs is just such a servant.
As for Aunt Yue...
Yu Huan glanced at the Tremella and Lotus Seed Porridge that she had finished drinking: "Don't worry, she will be fine."
"Ah? Why?"
Qiu'er was puzzled.
Yu Huan sneered: "Because..."
Yu Huan looked at the empty bowl in front of her and said, "May the wicked live a long life. Is there any Tremella and Lotus Seed Porridge left? Give me another bowl. It will whet my appetite."
"Nothing else, just a bowl of Niangniang." Qiu'er was very honest.
Yu Huan: “…”
