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

Fei Wan truthfully told the emperor what he thought of Prince Huanhua.

He also truthfully told the emperor about the anger aroused by the article "On Factions".

Naturally, the fact that he asked the emperor to write calligraphy for him was concealed.

The virtuous concubine was indeed very happy to hear this.

She pulled out a jade hairpin from her head and directly inserted it into Fei Wan's head.

"Your Majesty is angry, but not with you. Don't take it personally. If I had thought of this in advance, I wouldn't have given you that calligraphy copybook. This is for your comfort."

"I dare not. I have already received so many good things from Your Majesty... This jade hairpin is too precious..."

Fei Wan declined.

Of course, I can't refuse that.

The virtuous concubine didn't believe that Fei Wan didn't understand the meaning of the calligraphy.

But Fei Wan didn't say it out loud, and she didn't say it out loud either. This priceless jade hairpin was her compensation for taking advantage of Fei Wan.

Unexpectedly, Fei Wan accepted it cautiously, thanked her, and then asked her with a confused look in her eyes:

"Your Majesty is so generous, always giving things to others. Won't you... end up going broke?"

That’s what I said!

This made Concubine Xian suspect that she was mocking him.

"Why, do you suspect that I am poor, or that the Zhenguogong Mansion is poor, or do you think that you have received more rewards from His Majesty and are far richer than I am?"

"I dare not!"

Fei Wan hurriedly apologized.

After looking around and seeing that they were all maids close to Concubine Xian, she said carefully:

"It's just that I heard Your Majesty say something the other day... 'The Duke of Zhenguo's family assets have always been limited, where would they get so much money to buy land?' I mistakenly thought that the Duke of Zhenguo's family assets were limited, so I was confused. Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's all because I haven't seen the world..."

The virtuous concubine doesn't care whether she has seen the world or not.

Hearing the emperor discussing the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she quickly interrupted and asked, "Tell me in detail what His Majesty said."

"Your Majesty said..."

Fei Wan pondered carefully, "It seems that when I was reading the memorials, there was one that said that the Zhenguogong Mansion had enclosed millions of acres of fertile land in Jiangnan. This time, the floods flooded everywhere else, but the land enclosed by the Zhenguogong Mansion was not affected..."

"I don't know the details. Your Majesty only muttered a few words. I prepared refreshments in the private room, and then I went to roast the tea."

The virtuous concubine's expression suddenly changed.

"What color is the cover of that memorial?" she asked seriously, staring at Fei Wan.

Fei Wan was stunned.

She said in panic, "No... I'm not sure... Oh no, it seems to be green? But it doesn't seem to be... I didn't see it clearly, so I dare not say anything!"

Turquoise.

That is, there was a secret report at that time.

The virtuous concubine knew that ordinary memorials all had blue covers, while the secret memorials that the emperor received privately came in several colors, such as green, brown, etc.

The secret memorials reported all confidential events concerning the government and the public.

"When did it happen? Yesterday?"

"No, it was once when His Majesty went to Guanlan Courtyard that he brought a few memorials for review..."

Fei Wan thought about it and told Concubine Xian that it seemed like it happened more than ten days ago.

The virtuous concubine almost stood up from her chair.

He leaned forward and then managed to sit down again.

The smile was a little stiff.

He invited Fei Wan to eat the snacks on the table, and while Fei Wan lowered her head, he secretly winked at the maid Linglong.

Linglong retreated immediately.

As soon as he left the hall, he quickened his pace, hurriedly called over a eunuch, and whispered something in his ear.

The eunuch's face changed and he turned around and ran away.

Fei Wan pretended to know nothing.

He looked at the snacks on the table, praised them, and chatted with Concubine Xian.

In order to make up for his previous offense to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he praised and admired the virtuous concubine and her mother's family's wealth.

However, Concubine Xian changed the subject and talked about practicing calligraphy.

When Linglong came back from outside, Concubine Xian felt relieved and her smile returned to its previous state.

Fei Wan couldn't help but secretly admire Concubine Xian.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion's occupation of land in Jiangnan was originally kept secret, and now it is linked to the flood, and the emperor knows everything - this is a major and urgent matter that will affect the foundation of the family.

After the initial panic, Concubine Xian was able to sit down and chat, and quickly adjusted her mood.

She is indeed worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

"Go and get some of the calligraphy copies that I often use and give them to Concubine Zhao to choose from." Concubine Xian instructed the maid.

Since she was so calm, Fei Wan was even less anxious.

As long as the Duke's Mansion can get early warning and clean up the mess in Jiangnan quickly, it can report to the Emperor.

Otherwise, even if Concubine Xian could avoid the Queen's plot at the birthday banquet, once something happened in the Duke's Mansion, Concubine Xian would probably lose her power to assist in managing the harem.

In the previous life, the virtuous concubine and the Duke's Mansion were punished one after another, which was very dangerous and seriously damaged their vitality.

Even though Concubine Xian rose to power again later, her momentum was not as strong as before.

Fei Wan felt no pity for the virtuous concubine, nor for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. They were all arrogant, extravagant, and licentious people who exploited the people, and they deserved to be punished.

However, she couldn't let the Queen overthrow Concubine Xian at this time.

"If you like these books, take them all."

Seeing Fei Wan looking at the calligraphy over and over again without saying anything, Concubine Xian thought that she was overwhelmed by the choices, so she generously gave them all to her.

He also asked Linglong to take two land deeds.

"These are two shops in the capital city with excellent locations. I'm giving them to you. Just now, you mentioned being poor, but it's obvious that you're short of money. You receive a lot of rewards every day, but the silver you earn may not be enough. Those treasures can't be easily exchanged for gold or silver. Keeping this shop will provide you with long-term income."

The virtuous concubine directly stuffed the deed into Fei Wan's hands.

"Don't be polite to me. I wouldn't even want to send an ordinary person off!"

Fei Wan was flattered.

He opened his eyes wide, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He helped the maid to pay his respects to the virtuous concubine.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to express my gratitude to you!"

How can I express my gratitude? Just send me more important information in the future.

The virtuous concubine secretly exclaimed that it was a close call.

If Fei Wan hadn’t told me just now, my family would have been badly cheated by those civil officials!

There is no need to guess about the matter of the Jiangnan land. It was the group of people led by the Prime Minister who found out about it and pretended to report it secretly to let Your Majesty know.

Otherwise, how could such a secret memorial be sent to the emperor when there were old acquaintances in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in several key places such as the Huben Army?

It seems that we need to teach those stinky civil servants a lesson!

Although Concubine Xian was furious in her heart, she smiled and chatted with Fei Wan for a long time before sending her away.

Fei Wan returned with a full load of calligraphy and land deeds.

If the virtuous concubine is willing to give it to her, she will accept it.

After helping Concubine Xian so much, she still thinks the reward is too little!

"My lady, the calligraphy is fine, but the title deed... do you really want to take it?"

Xiangyi is not very sure.

If the Zhenguo Mansion really angers His Majesty because of the land issue, and the young lady accepts the land deed from the virtuous concubine, if His Majesty finds out, will he think that the young lady has sided with the virtuous concubine and is in cahoots with the Zhenguo Mansion?

Fei Wan said: "Of course we have to accept it, this is all for our good life!"

But of course, there is a clear path ahead.

She asked Xiaohui to go to the imperial kitchen to pick out dishes.

He picked a Cordyceps, Pigeon and Golden Stamen Soup and sent it directly to Chen Qian Palace.

"I'll just say I'm concerned about your Majesty's health, but I'm too stupid to cook, so I'm asking you to heal your body through the Imperial Kitchen."

What is important is not to cook the soup yourself, but to remember the emperor's intentions.

Fei Wan was too lazy to use her injured hands to cook for the man.

Xiaohui came back after a while.

His eyes were full of smiles.

"My lady, His Majesty will be here soon. Let me tell you first!"
