Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

The entrance of Zhonghe Palace

Xiao Cheng, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhang Fufa, the deputy chief steward, and Qin Sheng, the imperial kitchen, were all waiting at the door.

The sun was hot, and after a long time of communication, there was still no movement.

Xiao Cheng, the oldest steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, looked relatively good.

The remaining imperial kitchen staff Qin Sheng and Zhang Fufa already had a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces.

After all, in this harem, although Lin Junxue is the queen, she has never interfered in anything before?

Although she is nominally in charge of the six palaces, in reality, Chen Xier is still the most respected person in the harem.

Chen Xier is favored by Xie Yu, so the servants in the palace will naturally follow the trend.

Especially during the period when Lin Junxue was under house arrest, Chen Xier took the opportunity to establish many of her own connections in various palaces.

For example, Zhang Fufa, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is now Chen Xier's man.

Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng still didn't take Queen Lin Junxue seriously.

They came to Zhonghe Palace just for the sake of formality.

The two men did not expect that the young eunuch had already gone in. After almost half an hour of reporting, no one came out to invite them in.

Zhang Fufa used to be a young eunuch who followed Xiao Cheng. Later, he gained power and became the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhang Fufa looked at Qin Sheng, who also looked unhappy. Naturally, he had to exaggerate.

With a sarcastic look on his face, he turned around and said, "Eunuch Xiao, it's fine that the Queen doesn't take me and Chief Steward Qin seriously, but why didn't the Queen ask us to come in even though you've come in person? You're old, and the sun is so hot, how can your body withstand it?"

Among the three, Xiao Cheng, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is the oldest, has the most experience, and is ranked above the other two.

Although Xiao Cheng has the most power, he usually doesn't take care of things. Zhang Fufa is in charge.

Xiao Cheng rarely appeared in the harem. Over time, many people in the harem no longer took him seriously.

Qin Sheng immediately looked at Xiao Cheng who was standing motionless on the side.

Xiao Cheng, whose name was called, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were cloudy but still sharp.

He turned to look at Zhang Fufa, who was trying to sow discord, and after a moment, he spoke

"In this harem, slaves are slaves. Don't forget your status and be careful with your words and actions."

Zhang Fufa's face changed.

The old guy Xiao Cheng was saying that he was overstepping his boundaries and breaking the rules.

However, due to Xiao Cheng's status, after all, when the previous emperor was in power, he was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This old fellow, the current Ministry of Internal Affairs is no longer his domain, yet he is still relying on his seniority and age to bully others.

Qin Sheng from the imperial kitchen was still waiting to see Xiao Cheng's attitude, but now he didn't dare to complain. He behaved himself and stood up immediately.

Zhang Fufa failed to stir up trouble and was scolded by Xiao Cheng instead. He could only shut up.

Zhang Fufa thought that after returning, he would go to Concubine Xi of the Xian Ya Palace and file a complaint against this old man Xiao Cheng.

Next second

The closed door of Zhonghe Palace opened from the inside, and Qiaoxin and Guyu walked out side by side.

Except for Xiao Cheng at the door, the remaining Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng immediately looked at the two

They have all received the news that the Queen has replaced all the previous palace servants.

Zhonghe Palace re-selected a new aunt to manage the affairs and promoted a first-class maid

Qiao Xin looked at the people in front of her, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Cheng, and she took them back without making a sound.

Qiao Xin has a serious face, and her aura is not to be underestimated.

"Eunuch Xiao, Eunuch Zhang, Chief Steward Qin, the Queen did not take good care of her health during her confinement. Now, she is a little weak and it is not convenient for her to see you three."

After hearing what Qiao Xin said, Qin Sheng and Zhang Fufa's faces turned ugly.

They are not fools, they understand what I said.

The Queen is not taking good care of her health?

Doesn't this mean that the people below neglected the Queen during her house arrest?

Qin Sheng and Zhang Fufa were naturally guilty, because they often flattered the powerful and bullied the weak.

In particular, Zhang Fufa, who had joined Chen Xier's camp, did not even send Lin Junxue a piece of warm clothes when she was under house arrest.

When Zhang Fufa heard this, he seemed to want to make excuses for himself.

However, just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Qiao Xin.

"Eunuch Zhang, although the Empress was previously confined by the Emperor, her rations were not suspended. As the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Household Department, you did not deliver the required rations to the Zhonghe Palace on time. Chief Chief Qin, the same is true for the Imperial Kitchen. Meals were never delivered in time, which caused the Empress to catch a cold in the spring and suffer from a weak spleen and stomach. Do you two admit your guilt for this grave crime?"

Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng's faces changed drastically, and they looked completely different from before.

At this moment, the two of them felt a little scared.

Although the Queen is not favored, she is also the mother of a country. If this crime is put on the two of them, they will lose their heads, right?

The two of them were anxious, but Xiao Cheng, who had been standing next to them, remained calm.

Zhang Fufa no longer pretended to be so serious and looked at Qiao Xin.

He defended himself, "This is Aunt Qiaoxin, right? What are you saying? As servants, we dare not neglect the Empress. It must be that the eunuchs under our command are ignorant and have forgotten the quota for Zhonghe Palace. I will discipline them when I return. I dare not bear this crime even if I have several lives. From now on, rest assured, Aunt Qiaoxin, I will personally bring people to deliver the quota for Zhonghe Palace, and this kind of mistake will never happen again."

After Zhang Fufa finished speaking, Qin Sheng was reluctant, but he also knew that this would damage Fengti's identity, and he, a small imperial kitchen manager, could not afford to do so.

He could only say with a flattering face, "Aunt Qiaoxin, what Eunuch Zhang said is right. It must be that the people under our command were not serious. That's why they forgot to deliver the daily meals to Zhonghe Palace a little late. I will definitely discipline my subordinates strictly when I return. You see, the Queen Mother does not bear grudges, so please forgive me and Eunuch Zhang this time."

The two immediately looked at Xiao Cheng standing aside, hoping to get him to say a few good words.

However, Xiao Cheng did not even look at the two of them, and looked ahead.

Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng looked at each other

Xiao Cheng is such an old man, he doesn't care about anything.

Qiao Xin stood at the door, looking at Qin Sheng and Zhang Fufa with a cold expression.

"The Queen naturally knows that Chief Steward Qin and Eunuch Zhang definitely did not intentionally forget about our share of the Zhonghe Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng immediately smiled happily.

Look, they said the weak and incompetent Queen, how could she suddenly change her temper and send her aunts to embarrass them?

Doesn’t the Queen just want to establish her authority and give them a warning?

Qiao Xin looked at Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng, whose expressions changed, and suddenly changed the subject.

"The Queen knows that you two didn't mean it, but after all, you two didn't discipline your subordinates well. It's reasonable that you should be punished. The Queen has always been lenient. Why don't you two kneel at the gate of Zhonghe Palace for an hour as punishment for your poor discipline?"

Xiao Cheng raised his eyelids, and a hint of surprise flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He looked at Qiao Xin deeply, then lowered his eyes.

Qin Sheng and Zhang Fufa were completely dumbfounded.

The two of them never thought that one day they would be punished to kneel in Zhonghe Palace for an hour.

Not to mention that the sun was so scorching at noon, if the two of them really knelt here for an hour today, it would be a complete loss of face for this old man.

The Queen Mother has just regained power, and she punished them both so severely. Is she crazy?

Qiao Xin looked at Zhang Fufa and Qin Sheng with a look of shock on her face.

She turned her head and looked at Guyu, without any nonsense, she said

"If the two eunuchs do not accept this punishment, go and ask Eunuch Gao to come over."
