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

"Your Majesty, I would like to reward those who served me during the visit today. Please grant me your permission."

Fei Wan pleaded sincerely, and before the emperor could express his opinion, she quickly added, "What I meant is that the reward should be given with my own private money, not with the money from the inner treasury."

Xiao Yu thought to himself that it was indeed so.

Just as I expected.

Zhao Qing is asking for rewards from others again!

Wen Sheng smiled and asked, "Your own private money? Do you have a lot of money?"

Fei Wan smiled sheepishly, "...not much."

"You dare to boast about rewarding people when you don't have much money? You are asking me to spend money!"

Xiao Yu looked at her with a smile, as if he could see through her little thoughts.

Fei Wan was anxious and said quickly: "No, Your Majesty, I dare not ask Your Majesty for money!"

She took a few steps forward, came to the emperor's side, and explained very seriously.

"I know that the money in the Imperial Palace Treasury comes from a fixed source and goes to a fixed destination. I dare not use it casually just because of a whim. The original visit to my parents has already cost the Ministry of Internal Affairs a lot of money, how can I ask for additional money?

I thought, Your Majesty and the Concubine Xian have given me a lot of silver, so I can just use it. If it's not enough, the other ladies in the palace have given me a lot of good things, and there are also gold, pearls, and jades bestowed by Your Majesty...

I want to secretly pick out a few things and exchange them for silver to give some rewards to the palace maids, guards, city defense soldiers who have worked hard today, and all those who have participated in the visit, or give each person some food and supplies.

This will not only save the inner treasury money, but also satisfy my desire to comfort them after seeing their hardship. It will also make them happy and grateful for the emperor's grace, so that they will serve Your Majesty more wholeheartedly in the future."

Fei Wan looked at the emperor with her clear, dark eyes, cautiously but full of sincerity and thirst for knowledge, and earnestly asked the emperor for advice.

"Your Majesty, may I think this way? Wouldn't that be a bit presumptuous?"

"Yes! Great!"

The emperor clapped his hands in praise.

My Zhaoqing is always so considerate and kind!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!" Fei Wan was overjoyed and bit her lips lightly. "Your Majesty is always so kind to me... You even agree to such a stupid idea of ​​mine..."

"How can this be a stupid idea?" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Fei Wan into his arms, this time not because of desire, but because of love.

"Zhao Qing is so kind and considerate of others. How could I not support him? Leave this matter to Cao Bin. You don't have to pay for it yourself. I will fulfill your wish."

"Your Majesty, but the money in the inner treasury cannot be touched by me casually..."

"That's my money. I can use it however I want. Who dares to say no?" The emperor deliberately sounded stern.

Fei Wan tactfully accepted the emperor's kindness.

The reputation under the shirt belongs to her, and the money is paid by the emperor, which is good.

If the money in the imperial palace treasury is not given to the servants to spend, it will sooner or later be squandered by the emperor's concubines, so it should be spent as needed.

So I continued to drink tea.

Let’s get to the point.

"Then... let Cao Bin take care of the rewards for the others, and I'll be the one to reward the servants at the Yu Mansion myself, okay? I was very forceful at the Yu Mansion today, and I'm afraid I frightened them. I feel bad about that."

Xiao Yu hugged the delicate girl and asked with a smile, "Oh? My Zhao Qing, do you still have a tough attitude sometimes?"

"Yes. Today... I told everyone about how Yu Gengyi had beaten, scolded, and bullied me in the past. The scene brought back a lot of emotions, and I spoke a lot, shocking the elders of the Yu family. My father was also very angry, and in a fit of rage, he expelled Yu Gengyi from the family tree."

Fei Wan sighed softly, her expression and tone becoming depressed.

"My brother had some complaints, and my mother felt bad for Yu Gengyi. I was worried they would use the servant who testified for me as an excuse, so I forced the servant to break off his slavery and leave the Yu Mansion. Maybe I was just being mean, but when I thought about the possibility that the maid might be secretly bullied like I was in the past, I didn't dare to take the risk, so I contradicted my brother..."

When she said this, she suddenly came to her senses, quickly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, her disappointment dissipated, and she smiled again.

"My humble concubine is so rude, why am I bringing up these trivial matters with Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you still have state affairs to attend to. I will take my leave now. I dare not delay your important work."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, "What's wrong with the people in the Yu family? Do they still think Yu Gengyi is a good person?"

He heard someone report about the visit and knew that Yu Tingjin had been removed from the list. However, he was busy today and the subordinates reported briefly, so he didn't have time to ask in detail. Now he learned that the Yu family had a conflict with Fei Wan, so he was naturally unhappy.

It was he who graciously allowed Fei Wan to visit his family. How could the Yu family be so honored that they didn't even appreciate it?

If I conflict with Fei Wan, I would be slapping him in the face!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Fei Wan quickly spoke up for the Yu family: "After all, my mother and brother have been with Yu Gengyi for many years, and their kinship remains. I have just joined the Yu family, so I will give them some time to adjust. Besides, I have been hard-hearted and told them some details of the bullying they suffered in the past. They will eventually figure it out."

The blue smoke from the Boshan furnace curls up, filling the hall with fragrance.

In the quiet room, the two of them were close to each other, feeling warm and intimate. Fei Wan's soft and gentle words did not sound like gossip, but rather like a young woman expressing her worries and revealing her feelings in front of her husband.

It's pitiful and lovely.

She looked at the emperor's expression and sighed softly again. Her breath was so gentle, like fallen flowers slowly falling to the ground in the spring breeze.

"But this time, I feel sorry for Yu Gengyi. I swore not to betray my master, but today I exposed her evil deeds in public. I am truly breaking my promise.

I tossed and turned for many days before finally making up my mind.

My own honor and reputation are not important. I do this, firstly to let my family know that Your Majesty is not wrong in punishing her, and secondly, to let her lose her disguise and thoroughly reflect on her mistakes and reform. For her, it will be painful for a while, but beneficial for a lifetime.

I will go to the Guanyin Hall later to burn incense and sincerely repent for breaking my vow before the Buddha. I will go and explain to Yu Gengyi in person another day."

The emperor was initially a little impatient, thinking that Yu Tingjin's words and actions were rude and his nature was bad, and that the Yu family was confused and stupid. But after hearing Fei Wan's soft words, his irritability dissipated.

Instead, I felt pity for her: "You were harmed by her, but you always think about her."

Fei Wan's eyes reddened. "I've been wandering around since I was little, and I long for family affection... Now that I have a family, I just hope to live in harmony with them. Although Yu Gengyi is not a blood relative, she grew up in the Yu family, so she can be considered half a member of the Yu family. I... actually... want to be a good sister to her, and hope that she will repent..."

"You stupid girl!"

Xiao Yu hugged her tightly.

Yu Tingjin was vicious by nature, yet she actually hoped to get along with her and become sisters!

Forget it, Zhaoqing is kind-hearted, just let her be.

There is no shortage of cold and calculating women in the palace, and it's good to have someone as stupid as her.

"Don't cry, I will grant you whatever you want to do."

"So, Your Majesty has favored me once again."

He had passed the test of showing his toughness in the Yu family.

Fei Wan sniffed, held back her tears, and choked as she leaned her head on the emperor's chest, rubbing it gently twice.

Like a docile cat.

"I don't know how to thank you..."

She looked at the emperor with her wet, deer-like eyes, suddenly climbed onto the emperor's neck, stood on tiptoe, and lightly touched the emperor's cheek with her soft lips.

She said very shyly and innocently: "I will wait for you in the evening, please come early."

The emperor almost lost control and carried her directly to the bedroom.

I endured it again and again.

Reluctantly, he lowered his head and bit her soft, white neck, then let her go with great restraint.

"Look, I'm going to eat you tonight!"

"Yes." Fei Wan's face flushed, but she bit her lip and nodded, "I will prepare a recipe for Your Majesty."

emperor:"……"

Zhao Qing's silly seriousness is really addictive!

Also prepare recipes.

What's going on in her little head?

*

"Sister, come on, sit down and rest. You've been busy since dawn visiting your parents and thanking them. Are you tired?"

In the side hall, when Zhishu saw Feiwan coming, she placed a brocade cushion on the soft chair beside her with her own hands.

Fei Wan sat down next to her, smiled and shook her head: "Not tired."

I have gained a lot in the past half day, so how can I feel tired?

Although Yu Tingjin got the status of a rich girl, she was expelled from the list. Lan'er and Xiaofeng had everything arranged, and everything was progressing normally. There was no need to explain this.

It also brought us one step closer to the emperor.

The emperor excitedly shared with her his undisclosed intention to retake Beiqu, but other women in the palace might not have the same treatment.

Once a man discusses serious matters with a woman, he subconsciously stops treating her as a toy for entertainment and most likely starts to take her seriously.

Although it was just a beginning, and the emperor was just in a momentary mood, but since it had begun, there would be a future.

Just wait and see!

Fei Wan showed a concerned look and asked Zhi Shu, "Are you feeling better now? Are you okay?"

"The imperial doctors have examined me and told me to take care of it. There's nothing serious."

Zhishu raised her face and ordered the palace attendant standing guard in the hall, "Go tell His Majesty that I have nothing else to do. I will go back with Sister Zhao. His Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I will not go to say goodbye."

He then ordered another palace servant, "Go and see if the sedan chair I usually ride in has arrived. If not, go and make sure it's there."

The two imperial maids had gone out, and there was no one else in the palace.

Zhishu lowered her voice and said solemnly, "Who tried to assassinate me? Do you have any clues?"

Fei Wan said, "I don't know for now. Let's investigate first. Anyway, I'm unharmed, so you don't have to worry. But you..." Fei Wan's eyes swept across her abdomen and asked softly, "Have you made any progress today?"

I set a trap that could lead to bloodshed, and then I wait and see, not knowing if anyone will take the bait.

Zhishu pursed her lips, the corners of her lips slightly cold.

"Several concubines came to visit me today, but I didn't notice anything wrong. However, the Empress Dowager's Nanny Shixiang has arrived."

Fei Wan was slightly surprised: "When?"

"It happened this morning. She sent me a golden and jade ruyi and a box of snacks. She said the Queen Mother heard that my pregnancy was unstable, so she sent her here to check on me and told me to take good care of the baby."

Zhishu's eyes were sharp: "Sister, could it be the Queen Mother?"
