Everyone in my harem is talented

As soon as the sky turned a little white, Shen Ningyue got up and washed up.

The palace servants opened all the windows, letting the morning breeze and soft light into the palace.

Today is the fifteenth, the day when concubines in the harem pay their respects to the Queen.

The concubines in Dayong's harem did not pay their respects to the queen's palace every day. They only had to go to the Pepper Room to pay their respects on the fifth and tenth days of each month.

Shen Ningyue sat upright in front of the dressing mirror, with her long hair loose and not yet tied into a bun.

"Mother, did you tell me when the second young lady of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion will leave the palace and return home?" Shen Ningyue asked with a frown.

How come Lu Liniang, a widow, stayed in the harem?

When the time comes, when the court officials make wild speculations and submit memorials to impeach, whose responsibility will it be? The empress dowager is acting so recklessly, so she will have to take the blame.

How to drive people away?

Sometimes it is really difficult to manage the harem, especially with the Empress Dowager who seems to be not very clear-headed.

Shen Ningyue knew that it was wrong for her to criticize her mother-in-law like this, but sometimes she really couldn't help it.

"The Queen Mother just sent someone to say that she wanted to keep Miss Lu for a while, but she didn't say how long.

In my opinion, Miss Lu Er is more pleasing to the Empress Dowager than Concubine Zhen of Hanzhang Palace.

The Queen Mother, who loves peace and quiet so much, actually took the initiative to keep her. She is really capable.

If Miss Lu Er is about the same age as Concubine Zhen, who can say for sure whether it will be Miss Lu Er or Miss Lu San who will enter the palace and become Concubine Zhen?" Xiao Ji, the maid Shen Ningyue brought with her when she entered the palace, complained.

Lu Li'niang was married but remained a widow. It is actually inaccurate for outsiders to call her Miss Lu Er. This name has a joking meaning, but Xiaoji did it on purpose.

It is the grace of His Majesty that Xiaoji can enter the palace and continue to serve Shen Ningyue, who has become the Queen.

Shen Ningyue did not make her maid Xiaoji the head maid of the Pepper Palace just because she grew up with her.

Xiaoji is indeed the Empress's closest maid, following Shen Ningyue closely and busying herself around. However, the head maid in charge of the Pepper Palace is Pu Jie, an old person in the palace.

"You are so outspoken. If there were outsiders here, I would punish you severely.

What can she do even if her mother likes her?

After all, this harem belongs to your Majesty. Whoever your Majesty chooses can enter the palace.

Now my mother has given me a difficult problem.

Pujie, what do you think about this?

How can I manage this? "

Shen Ningyue bit her lips lightly and looked with helplessness at Pu Jie, the senior palace maid who had worked in the palace for many years.

She knew Pu Jie's identity without any detailed investigation. She knew that only a palace talent who was loyal to His Majesty would be arranged to come to the Pepper Palace to assist the Empress.

Although Shen Ningyue is a concubine, the queen who is in charge of the six palaces, she is only in her teens. No matter how smart she is, she still needs someone to guide her.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and ask His Majesty?" Pu Jie said tentatively.

"When the Queen Mother sent someone to inform me, Your Majesty was right beside me.

Lu is still staying in the palace. I think Your Majesty must be aware of this, so there is no need for me to complain.

Your Majesty has always ignored these trivial matters.

As the head of the harem, I am responsible for these trivial matters. I feel sorry for your Majesty, who is busy with state affairs every day. Your Majesty should not be bothered by these trivial matters in his spare time."

Shen Ningyue sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, Lu is outside the palace asking for an audience." A palace maid came to report.

"Why is she here? Today is the day for the concubines in the palace to pay their respects to the queen.

She was also in the palace yesterday, but I didn't see her coming to see me.

I thought she had been hiding in the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace waiting for me to go see her, why did she come here today?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to see him?" Pu Jie asked.

"She's here, can I not see her?

After all, she is the niece that the Queen Mother values. You should go and ask her to come into the palace and wait.

The other concubines are expected to arrive soon. I think everyone is curious about this cousin.

It's a good opportunity to meet her together." Shen Ningyue said with a chuckle.

"Yes, ma'am."
