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

"Master Yu, are you also happy and stupid?"

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict turned around and saw that Yu Zhong next to him looked even more shocked, and in his shock there was... a hint of grievance?

Why is this?

"Ahem... your humble servant...your humble servant thanks Heaven for its grace!"

Under the eunuch's gaze, Yu Zhong had no choice but to kowtow in thanks.

But my heart is bleeding.

The credit he had worked so hard to earn actually became a stepping stone for Fei Wan, allowing her to stand higher?!

Fei Wan asked cautiously, "Eunuch, is this true? His Majesty is promoting me to the rank of Imperial Concubine?"

His voice was trembling and his face was full of shock and confusion.

"Of course it's true, my lady, please express your gratitude."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was extremely respectful and revealed more, "His Majesty wanted to make you happy sooner, so he specially sent this servant out of the palace to deliver the oral order. After that, there will be the formal imperial edict for the conferment of the title. The ceremony will be scheduled for the 18th of next month, a good date chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory."

According to the rules of this dynasty, concubines below the rank of concubine can be promoted or demoted with the emperor's oral instructions or decrees, while for concubines and above, enthronement requires an imperial edict stamped with the seals of both the emperor and the Ministry of Rites, and a ceremony is required in which the name of the recipient is written into the royal jade disc.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty treats me so well..."

Upon hearing this, Fei Wan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and her face of astonishment instantly turned into extreme joy.

Raise both hands above your forehead and kowtow to express your gratitude.

When she stood up, the imperial eunuch's message was complete. The eunuch immediately changed his identity, from representing the emperor back to being a mere eunuch, and bowed to Fei Wan, "Greetings to Noble Concubine Zhao, Your Majesty, may you be well!"

Fei Wan modestly said, "I don't deserve it. The official enthronement ceremony hasn't come yet."

The eunuch laughed and said, "Your Majesty sent me here to deliver the decree in advance, so that Your Majesty can enjoy the treatment of a noble concubine from now on. Otherwise, why would he send me out of the palace so specially? The ceremony is just a supplementary formality, why should Your Majesty be so particular about it?"

"In that case, thank you very much, sir."

Fei Wan certainly knew that there was no need to wait for the enthronement ceremony.

Saying this is just to shut up Yu Zhong and others in advance.

He then ordered Xiang Yi to reward the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and the accompanying personnel.

This eunuch, Han Zhi, was second only to Cao Bin in seniority before the Emperor, and had served the Emperor since his time in the Imperial Residence. With the news of the great victory today, Cao Bin must have been incredibly busy, and the Emperor sending Han Zhi to deliver the decree was a gesture of respect for Fei Wan.

Therefore, Fei Wan was rewarded generously.

The palace maids who accompanied the emperor on the visit were unwilling to be left behind and immediately knelt down in unison, "We kowtow to Her Majesty the Concubine Zhao!"

Fei Wan smiled and rewarded them generously.

In this case, what else can the people in the Yu Mansion do?

Everyone in the palace is kneeling, is it appropriate for them to still poke?

Yu Zhong lifted his skirt and led the entire clan to kneel before Fei Wan: "Greetings to Concubine Zhao, may the queen be well!"

Fei Wan was dressed in gorgeous clothes and glanced at their bent backs with a smile.

No matter whether it was Yu Zhong, Yu Wangbei, Yu Yongnan, Madam Yu, or the servants in the house, anyone who had bullied her in the past, at this moment, they had to kneel down in front of her respectfully!

After they kowtowed three times and knelt for a while, Fei Wan slowly spoke.

"You don't have to be so polite. We are all family, so why should we be so formal?"

Yu Zhong felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest.

No need to be polite?

Then why not start shouting before everyone kowtows?

But he still had to say respectfully: "The grace of heaven is great. Your Majesty is a member of the royal family. The relationship between the monarch and the minister comes first, and then the relationship between relatives. Your subjects must pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Fei Wan smiled faintly: "Master Yu is still sensible. Please stand up."

Feeling wronged?

Hold it in!

The sufferings I have endured cannot be compensated by you just bowing a few times. There is no such easy thing in the world.

Lan Er, standing up with the others, smiled and joined in the fun: "Not long ago, Her Majesty said that I was addressing you wrongly, that you were not of high enough status and could only be called Little Master. Who would have thought that in just a short while, you have become the true Her Majesty!"

According to the custom in the Daliang harem, anyone ranked above the third rank of "Princess" could be called "Niangniang". Furthermore, Fei Wan was now one rank higher than a concubine, a noble concubine.

Isn’t it true to its name!

Fei Wan sent the eunuchs away and returned to the banquet. She smiled at Lan Er and said, "The Yu family has already promised you freedom from slavery, yet you still call yourself a 'slave'?"

Lan'er blinked innocently: "It's just that the Third Uncle of the Yu family agrees, but the eldest master doesn't. I dare not claim it."

Fei Wan smiled at Yu Zhong and asked, "What do you mean, Master Yu?"

Yu Zhong bowed and said, "It's a small matter. Since Your Majesty insists, I dare not disobey."

In the blink of an eye, the emperor gave Fei Wan such great honor that he could no longer suppress her.

"Then, the groom who pushed me down the mountain?"

"I will have someone deal with it. I will punish her with a caning according to family rules and then sell her off. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"You can figure out the affairs of the lord's inner chamber yourself."

Fei Wan couldn't help but hear that he was hinting that she was pushing too hard, so she smiled and said, "If we weren't family, I wouldn't interfere in your affairs. But the Emperor's grace is immense. Since His Majesty has bestowed upon me and you the highest honor, we must be cautious in our words and actions, and keep ourselves clean to be worthy of His Majesty's kindness. Isn't that right?"

“…Exactly.”

"So if there are evil people and servants in your household and you ignore them, it's easy for a fire to break out and affect your work. That's why I'm asking you to punish the evil slaves and reward the good servants. Do you mind, sir?"

"Your Highness is right."

Yu Zhong was patient for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Fei Wan followed up with, "Your Excellency is very busy with government affairs, and your Madam is ill. If something bad happens at home again, it would be inappropriate. I can't always be in the palace looking after the family. Your Excellency, why don't you find someone to help your Madam manage the household, and follow His Majesty's example by ordering me and the Consort Xian to assist in the management of the harem? What do you think?"

What's the meaning? !

Yu Zhong was alert: "My Lady..."

Fei Wan suggested slowly, "In my opinion, your concubine Qin is kind and considerate. Why not let her help Madam?"

After causing trouble for Yu Zhong, it’s time to let Madam Yu cause trouble too!
