The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"I want to stand at the highest point in the palace."

Fei Wan directly expressed her thoughts.

Lan Er couldn't help but be surprised: "You want to be... the queen?! But there is already a queen..."

On the side, Xiang Yi hesitated.

Is the Queen the highest position in the palace?

Judging from the current queen who is recuperating in Fengyi Palace, the throne doesn't seem too high?

Xiao Feng crossed his arms, his eyes restrained as he stared at Fei Wan with scrutiny.

Fei Wan did not explain where the highest point was, but simply told them: "I want to stand high, but I don't want to stand up today and fall down tomorrow, so I need stable power.

I like gold, silver, and jewelry, but I don't want to exploit the people's blood and sweat, or snatch the last penny from the hands of the poor who can't even get enough to eat. So I want a truly prosperous country, a strong people, and peace in the world."

"I want the Liang Dynasty, which can support me to enjoy wealth and glory!"

Several people were shocked again.

In this world, who doesn’t like wealth and glory?

Who doesn’t want to be a master, a powerful person, who doesn’t want to wear gold and silver and indulge in luxury...

They want to too.

It's just that I'm not destined to be rich and have always been at the bottom of society. I have more or less convinced myself to accept my fate. It's good enough to have enough food and clothes. If I can save more money, I will be satisfied.

But Zhao Ronghua, although she had already been ranked as a concubine in the palace and enjoyed great honor and favor, she still wanted to strive for even greater glory and wealth.

This is not surprising.

There are many people in this world who work hard to climb up and never feel satisfied even after their whole lives.

The concubines vying for favor in the palace, the ministers fighting for power in the court, the scholars who have studied hard for ten years, and even the servants who fawn on their masters like lapdogs, are all essentially trying to sharpen their heads and climb up the social ladder.

There are many ways to flatter the powerful and bully the weak, to curry favor, to step on companions, to destroy bridges after crossing them...

but.

But how many people can think like Zhao Ronghua?

Not only did she want to climb to the top of the tower, she also wanted the tower to stand firmly and not fall down. She could also see the millions of people at the bottom of the tower who were unable to climb up!

Know their poverty.

Know the importance of a penny.

No wonder she, a concubine, cared so much about the victory in Ningcheng.

No wonder she didn't care about the Xie family's eldest son's spying, but instead encouraged him to thoroughly investigate border affairs.

"My lady, I understand! From now on, I will serve you even more wholeheartedly!"

Xiangyi only felt a surge of exciting power surging in her chest.

It was even more exciting than when Fei Wan asked them to treat themselves as human beings.

It was a feeling that she couldn't explain or describe. It was as if her whole body was filled with strength in an instant, and she wanted to do something big with Fei Wan.

Although, she didn't know what the big deal was.

Lan Er also had a serious expression on her face, and she solemnly assured Fei Wan: "Be careful in the palace, and leave the matters outside to me, don't worry. Whatever you need me to do, I will do it!"

I originally thought that Fei Wan just wanted to turn things around, so everyone worked together to stop being slaves and enjoy the benefits of being the master.

It turned out that she still had such a big intention in her heart.

Lan'er suddenly felt that all the resentment and anger that had been pent up in her heart since she was a maid seemed to have dissipated in an instant.

Although, at this moment she is still a maid in the Yu Mansion.

"A piece of advice: Be a good concubine first. Don't ask for too much, or you'll end up with nothing. I've seen many ambitious people, but few of them get what they want. On the contrary, many people get themselves killed because of their ambition."

Xiaofeng's painted face showed little emotion, and her tone was slightly sarcastic.

Fei Wan was not annoyed when she heard this.

Just continue to smile gently, just like before.

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ma. I will try to be more careful.

Besides, you help me do things, but you don't have to work for my wishes.

Xiangyi will be able to leave the palace when she reaches a certain age, and Lan'er can leave at any time once her life settles down. Mr. Ma is paid for his work, so I will pay you as much as I ask you to do, and I will never force you to do anything against your will."

Ma Xiaofeng's eyelids twitched, and he smiled lazily: "I'm glad you understand."

Xiangyi and Lan'er naturally expressed that they would always assist Feiwan.

Fei Wan smiled and said that it was not necessary, and did not continue the topic.

She knew Xiangyi and Lan'er's character and nature, needless to say. As for Ma Xiaofeng, now a dissolute man in the city, who cared less about people than money, she had spent the last days of her previous life at the border with him, sharing life and death.

In this life, we get to know each other again at different times and in different ways, and establish a buying and selling employment relationship.

It can be said that you and I have no fate, it's all thanks to me paying.

But she knew Ma Xiaofeng's credibility and tight-lippedness best.

Just don't worry.

"Sir, excuse me for a moment."

Fei Wan took Ma Xiaofeng to the inner room alone, leaving Xiangyi and Lan'er aside, and chatted quietly for a while.

Xiao Feng took the thick stack of banknotes, narrowed her eyes and smiled happily: "Leave it all to me."

"Give my lover my regards."

Fei Wan said this with a smile, which made Xiao Feng's eyes suddenly sharp.

"You know a lot."

She even knew who his confidante was! Their relationship was known only to them.

Fei Wan ignored the murderous intent that flashed in the other person's eyes.

past life...

She met her lover first and then met Ma Xiaofeng.

Most of her seductive tactics to win favor and her understanding of the cold-hearted nature of rich men came from her lover.

That was her half-master.

So in this life, when she wanted to find manpower outside the palace, the first thing she thought of was to let Lan'er hire Ma Xiaofeng.

The reason is difficult to explain.

Fei Wan looked directly into Ma Xiaofeng's cold eyes and said sincerely:

"I don't mean to threaten you, sir. I once received a favor from my lover when I was down and out. She may not remember it, but I consider her my benefactor, like a second parent. If we meet again in the future, I will kowtow to express my gratitude."

The little phoenix eye glare was retracted.

Although he didn't believe it completely, he didn't say anything else.

Lan'er took the disguised Xiaofeng away. When Lan'er came back a moment later, there was still surprise in her eyes.

She whispered to Fei Wan, "He changed out of his maid's clothes, and in the blink of an eye, he put on some paint on his face, and he became a completely different person. He looks exactly like the maid who manages the garden in the mansion! If you don't look closely, you can't tell he's the same person when he puts on the maid's clothes. Even his movements and sounds are very similar!"

The old woman was naturally knocked unconscious and put in a dark place, and was released when Ma Xiaofeng left.

"It's a method of disguise." Fei Wan knew Ma Xiaofeng's acrobatic skills when he was traveling around the world.

When she came to Yu Mansion, she had Ma Xiaofeng around to support her, so her safety was much guaranteed.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

"Respectfully invite Zhao Ronghua to the banquet—"

Yu Wangbei, the eldest son of the Yu family, came again.

"Is Master Yu still busy?"

Fei Wan tidied her clothes and walked out of the house with Xiangyi and Lan'er. She was wearing brilliant hairpins and surrounded by palace maids, and she had restored the status of a concubine.

The stars surrounded the moon, isolating Yu Beiwang two meters away.

And he had no intention of asking him to come closer to talk.

Yu Beiwang lowered his head to hide his sneer of being ignored, and replied loudly, "Father is writing a letter of thanks and reporting to His Majesty on military supplies. He will be here later. Please take your seat first, my lord."

Are you using your achievements to pressure her again?

The war has come to an end. Is there any important military affairs that need to be reported today?

Fei Wan pretended not to understand Yu Beiwang's intention to show off and suppress him, and slowly came to the main hall in the front yard of Yu's house where the emperor was welcomed and served meals to the sound of drums and music.

The host took his seat.

Fei Wan raised her hand and ordered everyone who was bowing to stand up, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Yu is busy, let's start the meal."

Men and women sit separately.

Yu Beiwang stood in the outer hall, separated by a curtain, but he did not forget to stop them loudly: "Father has not arrived yet, please wait a moment, young lady!"

Xiang Yi said coldly: "It turns out that if Lord Yu doesn't come, Rong Hua won't even be able to eat."

Yu Beiwang said respectfully but firmly, "Father didn't come to preside over the event because he was afraid of neglecting the young master, and he had no other intentions."

Today, Fei Wan must understand the situation clearly and respect the Yu family!
