My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 43: A Matter of Lip Talk
Ever since Xiao Duo established his own government, Empress Dowager Feng has been determined to support her natal family.
However, the girl from the Feng family was not up to the task. Because she was not the principal wife and relied on being Xiao Duo's cousin, she made trouble every day in the mansion and was collectively targeted by the women in the mansion. As a result, she could not survive the house fight and died.
Later, Xiao Duo unexpectedly ascended the throne and became the Son of Heaven. Empress Dowager Feng wanted to send another member of her family into the palace, but Xiao Duo declined. This was partly because she was afraid of the girls raised in the Feng family being too petty.
Bai Ningwei had also learned about the Feng family. After all, they came from a small family and didn't pay much attention to the upbringing of their daughters. They raised them to be rich but lacked substance, making them little more than attractive women.
Nowadays, the previous dynasty is very concerned about the emptiness of Xiao Duo's harem. It has already decided to hold a beauty pageant in March, and the Ministry of Rites is going through the procedures.
However, at this time, Bai Ningwei went to talk to Empress Dowager Feng about the harem, obviously wanting to help Empress Dowager Feng find another way to fulfill her wish.
Since it was related to the prosperity of her mother's family, Empress Dowager Feng was naturally happy. When she looked at Bai Ningwei again, her eyes were as loving as if she was looking at her own younger generation.
"Tell me in detail."
Bai Ningwei pulled out a roll of drawing paper from her sleeve.
"Your Majesty is old now, and he occasionally likes the cuteness of little girls. As long as they are not too noisy, even if they are a little silly, he thinks they are cute. This is not surprising."
This stupid person is referring to the Concubine Shu who was just conferred today.
"Your Majesty's preferences, which have been there for decades, won't change all at once. It's just that the palace is full of rules, and it's inevitable that people will lose interest if things stay the same all the time. The selection will be in two months, and it will take another month or two to train the concubines. That means another half a year of idle time."
As she spoke, Bai Ningwei unfolded the drawing paper, and saw a picture of a beautiful woman dancing under the moon.
From head to toe, the beauty was dressed differently from the palace ladies. Her hair was styled sideways in a bun, adorned with beads, and paired with a rose-red, wide-sleeved, split-legged flowing fairy skirt, and bells on her hands and feet. Under the moonlight, she resembled a fairy, a beauty both ethereal and captivating.
Empress Dowager Feng had always been a well-behaved woman, and had never seen anything so explicit before. Her face immediately flushed with shame. If this hadn't been a plan Bai Ningwei had given to the Feng family, she would have definitely called her a lowly creature.
"Is this how you dress in private?"
Empress Dowager Feng grabbed the blueprint and quickly rolled it up, then asked awkwardly.
Bai Ningwei shook her head.
"I have only been favored once, when I was just a beauty."
A beauty is not the main lady of a palace. She has to wash herself, put on a nightgown and be carried to the emperor's bedroom to serve him. This is the rule.
"Then your painting..."
Empress Dowager Feng could not continue speaking. With her many years of upbringing, it was difficult for her to say the following words.
"I found this by chance from Tianlu Linglang."
Tianlu Linglang was the royal library, and once the paintings were found there, it was clear who owned them. It was only a few people.
She had never expected that her own son would actually like this in private. Empress Dowager Feng regretted why she had asked such a question just now.
"Ahem, what do you want me to do for you?"
Empress Dowager Feng coughed twice awkwardly and tried to change the subject.
Bai Ningwei shook her head again.
"I don't need the Queen Mother to do anything. As a royal concubine, I will only be well if Your Majesty is well."
Empress Dowager Feng was very satisfied with Bai Ningwei's answer, so she waved her hand and sent her away.
As the Queen Mother, she wasn't one to be grateful. If Bai Ningwei really asked her for anything, it would only make her unhappy.
Bai Ningwei really didn't need Empress Dowager Feng to do anything extra. As long as the Feng family girl entered the palace, everything would develop as she expected.
If Empress Dowager Feng were to speak up for her out of kindness, it would only ruin her cause.
As for the painting, it concerns the emperor's sexual life, so who would go and verify it in person?
As soon as Bai Ningwei left, Empress Dowager Feng immediately ordered Madam Liang to do this and that. The Feng family was eager to send a daughter to the palace, and they had been cultivating a young woman within the family. A girl of eighteen or nineteen who had never been married was a ready-made option.
On the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, it is said that as the emperor returned to the palace after viewing the lanterns, he heard the clear sound of bells accompanied by the faint humming of a tune. Following the sound, he unexpectedly spotted a beautiful woman dancing under the moon. Unable to contain himself, he immediately lifted her up and found a secluded spot for a passionate love affair.
Afterwards, Xiao Duo found out that the beauty was actually a daughter of the Feng family. He knew that he had been tricked by the empress dowager, so he had to hold his nose and make her a Chongyuan.
When Concubine Shu heard this, she naturally threw plates and bowls in the palace and got very angry.
All of this was within Bai Ningwei's expectations, and she ignored it after understanding it.
What she cares more about now is Xiao Yuaner.
For Xiao Qi, Xiao Yuan'er secretly studied medicine, hoping to create a recipe that would end her family lineage. More than half a year had passed, and her recipe hadn't worked, but she still had many concubines.
When Li Xiaojiu reported these things to Bai Ningwei, she thought of a sentence.
When you find a cockroach, there are actually countless more in the dark.
So Xiao Yuan'er definitely caused more than just a few palace maids to have bleeding episodes, maybe even someone died.
Bai Ningwei didn't dare to delay and immediately sent Nanny Qin to call someone over.
On the way, Nanny Qin told Xiao Yuan'er everything that had happened. When she arrived at Lingqi Palace, she was not panicked at all. She came in, bowed, and waited for Bai Ningwei to scold her.
"You can keep your composure."
Bai Ningwei asked Gualü to bring pen and ink and wait by her side.
"Tell me, how many people have you tried the medicine you developed on? I'll ask Gualü to remember their names and have the people from the Imperial Hospital treat them properly. Don't let anyone die and add to your karma."
Xiao Yuan'er was stunned.
"Aren't you going to scold me?"
"Can scolding you solve the problem?"
Bai Ningwei's expression was calm, her emotions invisible. But her calmness gave off an aura that was intimidating. At least the maid Huan'er couldn't handle the pressure, and she lowered her head deeply.
"Huan'er, the princess has so many things to say that she can't remember anyone. You tell me. If you can't explain it clearly and someone dies, don't say that I haven't considered everything for you."
Huan'er was also an inexperienced maid. There were only two princesses in the palace. The second princess was still young, and the two were one legitimate and one illegitimate. Furthermore, Xiao Yuan'er was Xiao Duo's first child, and the struggle for her father's love and the intrigues she faced required everyone to put in the effort. Xiao Yuan'er didn't need to worry at all.
So when she heard that someone might die, despite Xiao Yuan'er's uninhibited expression, she was actually terrified. Huan'er, as the eldest princess's chief maid, was so frightened that she didn't dare to hide anything and told everyone her name.
There were twelve palace maids in total, and three of them were unable to work due to abdominal pain.
It's already like this. Xiao Yuan'er was afraid that her deeds would be exposed, so she just let the people go back to lie down and rest, not daring to call a doctor for medicine. She was also a girl who hadn't had her period yet, so even the imperial physician couldn't prescribe medicine, and she was already frantic in the palace.
He didn't dare to delay and went to the Imperial Hospital with the list to ask for someone.
Bai Ningwei looked at Xiao Yuan'er, whose eyes were evasive, and knew that she was really scared.
Knowing that fear is a good thing, with some guidance, maybe you can turn this child around.
"I know what you're worried about. Regardless of whether your actions are appropriate or not, your feelings for Qi'er are not wrong. But Yuan'er, since you called me Mother, I have to take on the responsibility of teaching you. As the eldest princess, and the future eldest princess, there are things that others can do but you can't. Especially with Concubine Shu's child, don't have any bad thoughts."
