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

"Sister, I am very happy. I pay my respects to Sister Jieyu."

When Concubine Wu came to Guanlan Court for a banquet, Fei Wan bowed to her as soon as they met.

Wu Jieyu quickly pulled Fei Wan up and asked, "Are you humiliating me?"

Turning around, he scolded Zhishu, who was following him in the greeting, "It's fine if she's the only one being naughty, but you're laughing at me too!"

Zhishu said very seriously, "Who dares to laugh at Concubine Jieyu? My sister is much higher in rank than us."

This made Concubine Wu abandon Fei Wan and go beat her.

Several people sat down with laughter.

Their maids also laughed along, and they were all in high spirits as they passed the dishes back and forth.

Although several young masters had experienced some thrilling events, now both of them had been promoted. It was a blessing in disguise, and everyone was relieved and happy.

Wu Jieyu raised a glass of wine first: "After this incident, the three of us are like sisters. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I will be the first to disapprove!"

"each other."

Fei Wan raised her glass.

Zhishu said nothing, but drank it all in one gulp from a large cup.

Wu Jieyu said, "Don't call me Jieyu anymore. Otherwise, when I get promoted tomorrow, you will have to change your name. It will be awkward to keep changing it all the time. My name is Xiangrong, so call me Sister Xiangrong."

Fei Wan chuckled softly: "I want Sister Rong to know that she will have promotions in the future, so she should prepare for the rainy day."

"Of course!" Wu Xiangrong puffed out her chest. "Following Sister Zhao and Sister Ying, I will definitely be promoted in the future!"

Her maid Jin Chan smiled as she served the dishes and put two duck wings on her plate: "Your favorite duck wings, eat quickly, my lady, and cover your mouth!"

All the palace maids in the room laughed.

Wu Xiangrong scolded Jin Chan with a smile, and gave the two duck wings to Fei Wan and Zhi Shu respectively.

"This is a good sign for soaring high. You two eat it, and remember to take me with you when you fly."

She picked up a duck head, held it in her mouth and chewed it, mumbling:

"I eat some brains to make up for what I lack."

With just one sentence, everyone in the room laughed again.

The meal was lively and exciting. Wu Xiangrong got drunk and was finally helped back home by Jin Chan, who held her on his shoulders.

Zhishu drank a lot of wine, her cheeks were flushed, but she was sober and left without shaking, which showed that she could drink a lot.

Fei Wan sent them away, closed the courtyard gate, and summoned all the palace people to her side.

"You've all worked hard these past few days. I was able to escape unscathed from this turmoil of being framed thanks to your loyal assistance. This silver, you will divide it among yourselves."

Xiaohui had already prepared a tray. When she lifted the cover, she found eight brand new ingots of silver.

Horseshoe-shaped, made in the inner treasury, each ingot is fifty taels.

The four palace maids and four eunuchs in Guanlan Courtyard, including Xiaohui, each received an ingot.

Everyone knelt down to express their gratitude.

This is a great reward!

Even the most affluent concubine in the palace, Xianfei, rarely gifted her servants so generously. On one occasion, for her birthday, she gifted every servant in Changle Palace ten taels of silver, a feat envied by the other palace servants for a long time. At that time, even the lower-ranking palace maids and eunuchs in Changle Palace walked around with their heads held high, feeling superior.

But Lady Zhao, their new master, spent fifty taels right away!

This doesn't even include the welcome gifts everyone received when they first arrived, the small rewards they received for their work, and the fact that a few days ago, a palace maiden had her birthday, and the young lady gave her a few feet of fabric and a table of food, so everyone got to enjoy the good wine and delicious food...

All in all, since being transferred to Guanlan Academy, everyone's life has been too comfortable.

Compared with the miserable life in the cold palace and Xinzheku before, it was like stepping from the underworld into heaven.

The silly-looking maidservant Yinzhu held the silver ingot in her hands, her hands trembling and tears welling up in her eyes:

"This... can this servant also get it..."

Xiang Yi told her, "Yes, the young lady treats everyone equally. As long as you serve in this courtyard, no one will be left out. Once we accept the reward, we must remember who gave us the money and who gave us the good life we ​​have now. If anyone is unwilling to serve the young lady wholeheartedly and loyally in the future, we will not forgive him even without the young lady's order!"

Yinzhu nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face: "I will definitely work harder and harder to clean Guanlan Courtyard inside and out!"

Xiangyi joked, "Yes, if there's anything inappropriate, you continue to clean it out."

Yinzhu lowered her head embarrassedly and laughed quietly.

Fei Wan couldn't help but laugh.

She asked everyone to stand up.

"Serving me brings benefits, but also loyalty," he said softly. "I don't need to elaborate on these, you all understand. I only want to remind you of one thing: besides being my palace servants and doing your part, you must always remember that before you became palace maids or eunuchs, you were first and foremost upright 'human beings.'"

You live with dignity, work with dignity, and run towards a better life with dignity.

You can forget or remember all the sufferings and hardships you have experienced in the past, but don't let those sufferings devour your heart.

Keep moving forward, look ahead, no one in this life has the right to block your bright future."

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

Except for Xiaohui, who had already accepted Feiwan's encouragement, the newcomers, Xiangyi, Dongbao, Yinzhu, and everyone else were shocked by Feiwan's words.

Upright.

You are first and foremost a human being.

No one has the right to stop our good days and good future!

There's no need to elaborate on the kind of lives they led in places like the Cold Palace and the Xinzheku. There was no hope, no future; it was nothing but a life of suffering and humiliation, a world of darkness and uncertainty.

At most, there will be kind-hearted nannies or father-in-law who will advise them to be patient and hold on, as everyone has gotten through it this way.

However, Princess Zhao said, we are all human beings!

They've been living like that for too long, and they can't even see themselves as human beings anymore...

"My dear, I don't care about others, but I will be loyal to you till death!"

Xiangyi was the first to kneel down again and kowtowed deeply.

Following closely, Dongbao, Yinzhu, Xiaohui, and everyone else knelt down.

They all kowtowed to express their gratitude for Fei Wan's encouragement.

When the party finally dispersed, most people left the room wiping away tears.

Fei Wan was very satisfied with the effect.

That's right, she is trying to win people's hearts.

Although it is true that she is willing to encourage them.

But, before becoming upright people, they must first be her loyal servants!

"Dongbao, please stay."

Fei Wan called out to the person who made the greatest contribution to this doping scandal.

But before they could say anything in private, a palace servant reported: "My lady, the imperial attendant, Xiao Linzi, is here."

He comes late at night?

Fei Wan invites you in.

Xiao Linzi walked into the room and hesitated when he saw Xiang Yi and Dong Bao in front of him.

Fei Wan said: "It's okay, just say it if you have something to say."

Xiao Linzi immediately knelt down and reported:

"My Lady Zhao, Zhang Cainu, Liu Changzai, Zhu Cairen, and Pan Gengyi have just been taken away by the Palace Justice Department. I have found evidence of their collusion with Yuan Shuren and have devised a way to inform Your Majesty. On the night that Xiao Luzi hanged himself, they helped Yuan Shuren fan the flames of the situation, and Your Majesty still remembers them."

Fei Wan listened quietly.

After listening, he stood up from his seat and reached out to help him up.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Lin."

This was something Xiao Linzi did specifically for her, just to demonstrate his value so that she would take him in.

It would take him only a day or two to find clues, evidence and send the person to the Palace Justice Department.

Fei Wan reassured him directly: "You will be able to come to Guanlan Courtyard within three days."

Xiao Linzi kowtowed: "Thank you, my lord!"

"However, you don't have to worry about the position of deacon for now." Fei Wan said, "Wait until I advance to the level of Ronghua and have someone under me who can 'manage' me, then I will arrange a position for you."

"This servant will definitely help the young master to be promoted soon!"

Xiao Linzi raised his head.

His eyes are full of the determination to make progress.

Fei Wan reminded him, "Before I gain a firm foothold, don't rush to resolve your feud with Cui Liang. If it affects my promotion, I won't tolerate you."

Xiao Linzi was stunned.

Suddenly he realized that Miss Zhao tonight was different from any other time he had met her before.

Completely different.

"Master Zhao, you..."

He was startled by the undisguised sharpness in Fei Wan's eyes.
