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

"Yes……"

What is the most important thing?

Xiang Yi wakes up.

In a low voice, he said, "It is to purge the palace of spies as quickly as possible. This servant knows that we cannot waste our energy arguing with He Cainu over trivial matters."

Fei Wan nodded.

Although Guanlan Courtyard was where she once lived, where she was promoted step by step and became more and more prosperous, it was different from other courtyards in Chunxi Palace and had some special meaning.

But the so-called meaning is something people give. If you think it's important, then it's important. If you think it's unimportant, then it's unimportant.

Fei Wan does not value the hardships he has endured along the way and the glory he has gained today, so Guanlan Courtyard is just an ordinary courtyard with better decoration.

It was previously arranged for He Shuangying, but she was unwilling to live there. Now it is promised to someone else, and He Shuangying is eager to move in.

Then let her go.

So that night, He Shuangying settled down in Guanlanyuan.

She also sent away the palace maids that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent her and selected a few for herself.

Among them was the palace maid from Shanglin Garden who went to find Feiwan to report the news for her.

After gathering two palace maids and two eunuchs, she handed them over to Xia He for training.

He said to Xia He, "I'm leaving all the things that happen to me to you. I'm of low rank and everyone in the palace bullies me. You're in the imperial court, so you should take responsibility for me. Thank you for your help."

"As you command," Xia He said respectfully.

He Shuangying took a bath and changed her clothes, and was about to rest when someone came from the imperial court.

The person who came was Cao Bin’s adopted son Cui Liang.

"We have been ordered to come and see the young ladies who have moved into Chunxi Palace. I have a message for you all. Please leave."

Cui Liang walked in and sent Xia He and others away.

Xia He hesitated slightly.

According to the rules, eunuchs are not allowed to stay in the room alone with concubines.

There must be at least one palace maid by your side.

Cui Liang's eyes were sinister, and he glanced at Xia He with a smile on his face.

"Why, Aunt Xia He wants to hear what His Majesty has told Miss He?"

Xia He felt a chill down her spine.

Smile: "I dare not let my father-in-law say that."

But he still didn't go out immediately.

Instead, he looked at He Shuangying, waiting for her instructions.

Since she was ordered to serve the concubines, she naturally had to fulfill her responsibilities.

He Shuangying looked at her for a moment, then slowly said, "Aunt, if you must listen, then listen. You are the emperor's servant, and everything I do, say, and do is under your supervision."

"The slaves dare not!"

Xia He hurriedly bowed in fear and left.

And go outside and stand farther away to avoid being suspected of eavesdropping.

He Cainv's weird demeanor made her more cautious and afraid to make mistakes.

Cui Liang whispered in the room, "This Xia He used to serve Concubine Zhao, and she served in Guanlan Courtyard. My lady, please be careful of her."

"Oh? There's this matter?" He Shuangying frowned. "She has a good relationship with Concubine Zhao?"

"That's not a good thing. Imperial Concubine Zhao is so glorious, how could she possibly have a good relationship with the people below her? However, everyone in the palace is willing to get close to Imperial Concubine Zhao and take advantage of her. It's possible that she will use you to curry favor with Imperial Concubine Zhao."

"Your reminder is reasonable. I understand." He Shuangying was more concerned about the emperor. "What message did His Majesty ask you to convey?"

Cui Liang bowed and smiled: "My lord, that was just an excuse."

When the emperor heard that Fei Wan had invited several people to live with him in Chunxi Palace, he ordered someone to take care of it and see if there was anything missing and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange it.

Originally, any eunuch could have done the errand, but Cui Liang took on this task.

It is to see He Shuangying.

"I know that my young master is not one to remain inactive for long. He is flexible and has a promising future. Today, I officially acknowledge you as my master. When you are promoted in the future, I will rise with you."

Cui Liang kowtowed.

He Shuangying was a little disappointed when she heard that the emperor had nothing to say to her.

Seeing Cui Liang like this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, somewhat unable to believe it.

But he still kept his composure and said, "Very good, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Since you can see the bright future of my master, I will not let you down. When my master ascends the throne today, you will be..."

"I am the chief eunuch of Chenqian Palace."

Cui Liang interrupted He Shuangying.

He Shuangying was stunned again.

What she called "promotion" was at most the position of concubine or noble concubine. This kind of position did not have the possibility of deciding the candidate for the chief eunuch in front of the emperor.

unless……

Become queen.

And she is a powerful and authoritative queen.

Even……

Queen Mother? !

"You..." Her voice trembled slightly, and she tried to control it. "You want to replace your master?"

"Not only is he my master, Cao Bin is also my adoptive father. I am his only adopted son."

Cui Liang's smile was cold.

He lowered his voice and said slowly, "The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front. Even if he is my biological father, he can't suppress me for too long. My lady, I will help you, but you have to work harder yourself."

He Shuangying fell silent.

Keep calm.

He nodded vigorously.

He raised his head high again.

"Yes, I won't let those people keep suppressing me for too long."

Her eyes, which always had a bleak look, were now tinged with ambition.

It's just very thin.

Even Cui Liang felt a little disdainful when he saw it.

He hid his disdain and told the purpose of his visit.

"My lady, I have something to discuss with you... If this is successful, your path to advancement will be much smoother."

"Whatever it is, just tell me."

Dusk is falling and the evening wind is getting bleak.

There were lights everywhere in the palace.

Cui Liang stayed in the room for quarter of an hour before coming out.

Seeing Xia He standing far away on the steps, he nodded and greeted her from afar, then walked away with a smile on his face.

Xia He frowned slightly.

I have a bad feeling.

But since I was assigned to serve He Shuangying, I had no choice but to accept it.

When she returned to the house to serve, He Shuangying said that she would treat her well and depend on her for everything, but in fact she was very pretentious about various details.

Xia He had no choice but to endure it one by one.

Thinking back to the young lady Zhao who had served here during the summer, now she had become the head empress Zhao. Empress Zhao had risen through the ranks, relying on her beauty and kindness, but the one before her was difficult to get along with in every way...

I don’t know how far this Miss He can go.

"Forget it, never mind her. Take care of yourself and return to the Imperial Court as soon as possible."

After being busy until late at night, Xia He lay on the bed to comfort herself and soon fell into a tired sleep.

The next morning, Xiaohui, the maid in front, came to Guanlanyuan.

"The Imperial Concubine has asked this servant to come and see if Miss He needs anything and if she is living comfortably. If there is anything unsatisfactory, please let her know. The Imperial Concubine will make arrangements for her before she leaves for Fengming Palace."

He Shuangying had just gotten up and hadn't washed up yet.

After hearing this, he said, "I have everything I need. Everything is going well. Is Concubine Zhao trying to remind me to go to Fengming Palace to pay my respects morning and evening? But I caught a cold in the Palace Administration Office, and His Majesty said that I can rest for a few more days before going out."

Xiao Hui smiled and said, "Our queen has no intention of urging you to pay your respects to Fengming Palace. She is simply concerned about your well-being. Since you are so pleased, my lady, I will take my leave."

"Wait, tell your Majesty that since I live in Chunxi Palace, I won't embarrass her. I will perform all the necessary etiquette in the palace. Isn't the eldest princess' birthday in a few days? I heard that the Empress will be organizing it. I don't know if I will be well enough by then, so I may not be able to attend, but I will definitely prepare gifts so that the Imperial Concubine can rest assured."

He Shuangying gave such instructions, and Xiaohui agreed.

After returning to the main hall to report to Fei Wan, Xiang Yi said, "Miss He heard from the gods that a birthday banquet for the eldest princess was planned. The Empress only hinted to our Empress, De Fei, and Shun Fei, but she knew about it before it was made public."

Xiao Hui said, "Anyway, we know she's not a good person, so we should be careful. Madam, this hairpin looks even better and will go with your outfit today."

Leaving He Shuangying's matter aside, Xiao Hui Xiangyi helped Fei Wan to wash and dress, and then went to Fengming Palace.

The injury is getting better, the pain and itching have eased last night, and Feiwan slept well.

He took the initiative to participate in the management of the palace and help Queen Yan.

The eldest princess' birthday is approaching. In previous years, there was no celebration because the child was young and there was the Queen Mother above her. The Queen Mother said that a grand celebration would reduce the child's blessings.

But this year, Queen Yan said that there were few heirs in the palace, and taking good care of the two princesses might, according to folk saying, help attract a brother.

So he started to prepare a birthday party.

After the concubines paid their respects and left that day, Fei Wan stayed behind to discuss with Empress Yan, Concubine De, Concubine Shun, and Concubine Ming Guipin how to handle the matter.

Ming Guipin is the biological mother of the eldest princess.

When Empress Yan was canonized as empress, she was promoted to the position of noble concubine.

He was usually reserved and timid, so it was very stressful for him to suddenly discuss things with several concubines.

She nodded in agreement to everything everyone said.

De Fei couldn't help but say to her, "It's your daughter's birthday. Tell us what you want to do. Then we can have a plan. You can do this or that. So what should we do in the end?"

Ming Guipin quickly stood up and bowed to apologize: "I don't understand these things. My majesties, please make the decision. Please forgive my stupidity and lack of good ideas..."

He lowered his head in fear.

Concubine Shun gently comforted her, "The banquet is originally for the Grand Princess. As the saying goes, a son's birthday is a mother's hard day. You and the Grand Princess will both take seats at the table. You don't have to be afraid. Just say whatever is on your mind."

"I really don't have any idea, how about... just have a casual meal..."

Ming Guipin was so nervous that she was about to cry.

Queen Yan couldn't bear it anymore.

He ordered, "Go and bring the eldest princess here and ask her what she likes. The child is not little anymore, she is three years old, let's ask her in person."

Ming Guipin was even more nervous.

"The Empress... The Grand Princess is frail, and His Majesty forbids her from going out casually, fearing she might get sick from the cold."

Queen Yan frowned.

I endured it again.

I really want to say that if a healthy child is only raised in the house, he will become ruined no matter how healthy he is.

But the emperor did say this, and it wasn't just Ming Guipin talking nonsense.

Empress Yan then stood up and said, "It's just right. It's not cold today. Let's go for a walk outside. Ming Guipin, lead the way. Let's go to your place and see the eldest princess."

Ming Guipin was surprised.

He was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.

Somewhat reluctantly.

In her two lives, Fei Wan had never truly come into contact with the two princesses in the palace. They were always kept indoors and rarely went out, at most playing in the yard.

This time, I can take a closer look.
