Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

"who?",

Xia Xizhi was puzzled.

The young eunuch seemed to have difficulty speaking, and hesitated to speak, but finally he gritted his teeth and said,

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhaoyi is your Majesty's cousin and the Empress Dowager's niece. Yesterday, she slept with your Majesty... This morning, the Empress Dowager personally appointed her Zhaoyi and she has moved to Yutang Palace..."

The young eunuch didn't dare to breathe after he finished speaking.

"Oh, okay, I understand. Let her in."

Seeing that Xia Xizhi showed no signs of losing his temper, the young eunuch finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied,

"Yes."

Xia Xizhi leaned lazily on the chaise longue, raising his eyebrows slightly.

She almost forgot that in the original plot, on the second day after the Empress Dowager drugged Zhou Yan, Zhang Xiuchun was conferred the title of Zhaoyi by the Empress Dowager.

Zhaoyi is the mistress of a palace and can help the queen manage the harem. The queen mother gave her the position of assisting the queen in managing the harem.

So she couldn't wait to come over and challenge him, wanting to help manage the harem.

In the original plot, the original owner was naturally very angry. After a big quarrel with her, he called Zhou Yan to complain. Zhou Yan sided with the original owner. With Prime Minister Xia in the previous dynasty, he had to pretend. He also said that he actually hated Zhang Xiuchun and scolded her.

The matter was left unresolved, and the Queen Mother later tortured the original owner for it.

After the selection, there were more and more people in the harem. The previous dynasty was suffering from floods and border wars, and there was a severe shortage of money. The harem was entirely supported by the dowry of the original owner, and even Zhou Yan was completely unaware of it.

Xia Xizhi sneered inwardly. Since it was a thankless task, what was the point of having this right?

Since someone is eager to take over this mess, just give it to her.

......

Zhang Xiuchun came in and made a very unstandard greeting before getting up. Seeing Xia Xizhi's appearance up close, she was still surprised and jealous.

She is nothing but a foxy fool. His Majesty will wipe out the Prime Minister's family sooner or later. What's the point of her good looks?

The position of queen in the future can only be hers.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuchun's eyes flashed with pride and he said,

"Your Majesty should know that I am the Empress Dowager's niece and Your Majesty's cousin. Your Aunt has already given me the Yutang Palace. I heard that the late Empress lived there. I didn't want to live there, but I didn't want to offend your Aunt... Your Majesty, I think you don't mind, right?"

Having said that, Zhang Xiuchun looked at Xia Xizhi with a provocative look.

Xia Xizhi couldn't help but want to laugh. No wonder Zhang Xiuchun was killed by Ruan Qingqing so quickly. She was so stupid.

What were you thinking after you rushed to offend Ichinomiya?

Moreover, although the Yutang Palace was where the late empress lived, that was because she was the late emperor's successor. In fact, the Jiaofang Palace was the palace built specifically for the empress, which was much more elegant and luxurious than the Yutang Palace.

But she didn't care, all she wanted was her arrogance.

"Since the Queen Mother has already granted Yutang Palace to my sister, then I will live there."

Xia Xizhi seemed to pause for a second, his eyes red, but he still forced himself to speak.

Zhang Xiuchun became even more arrogant and complacent upon seeing this.

Sure enough, even as the queen, she didn't dare to offend her aunt...

Yutang Palace was where the late queen lived. It was self-evident what the empress dowager meant by that. In the future, she would definitely replace her and sit on the throne of queen, second only to the emperor.

"By the way, my aunt told me to come as soon as possible to help the Queen manage the harem." Zhang Xiuchun raised her chin and pointed her nose to the sky.

"I am very good at accounting. Your Majesty, why don't you hand over the account books of all the affairs in the palace to me now?"

Aunt Fang next to her was so nervous that she hid behind the camera, wishing she could be invisible. Who gave her the courage?

Before Zhang Xiuchun finished speaking, Xia Xizhi threw the teacup beside him away. He seemed to be aggrieved and angry, his eyes were red, and he said angrily,

"Your Highness, you've gone too far! I could have tolerated letting you live in Yutang Palace, but I've only been in the palace for three days and you're already eager to seize my power! Fine, fine, fine!"

"Guyu! Give her all the harem account books, I won't care anymore!"

Xia Xizhi covered his chest as he spoke, then winked at Guyu. Guyu was a little dumbfounded at first, but immediately realized that Xia Xizhi did it on purpose.

Although she didn't understand why her mother did this, she just did it.

"Yes! I will bring it to you right away! Your Majesty is always worried about His Majesty and the harem. The Queen Mother is too much. It's better not to have the power to govern the harem!"

Guyu also turned into an actor in a second. He turned around and ran back to the house. In a blink of an eye, he came out with a pile of account books. He put them all in Zhang Xiuchun's arms, glared at her, turned around and went back to Xia Xizhi.

"Guyu, see the guests off!"

"Yes!"

"Empress Zhaoyi, the Empress is tired. Please come back to pay your respects later."

Before Zhang Xiuchun could react, he was escorted out with the account book in his arms...

She was standing outside the door, confused. How could it be so smooth? Although she got what she wanted, why did it feel so weird?

Forget it, it seems he is a real idiot.

It was easy for her to give up the right to manage the harem, but it was difficult to take it back.

Zhang Xiuchun hummed, smiled, turned around and walked away.

Aunt Fang frowned, wanting to remind someone, but she kept her mouth shut.

......

As soon as people leave, Guyu can't wait.

"My Lady, what's going on? Why did you hand over the power of the harem?"

The other palace maids and eunuchs closed the door and pricked up their ears.

Since the past two days, all their prejudices against Xia Xizhi have disappeared. The Queen is not as unruly and arrogant as the rumors say. On the contrary, she is very easy-going and smart.

Moreover, they were often rewarded, and they were completely conquered by the Queen.

"Is the power of the harem a good thing?" Xia Xizhi said with a smile.

Guyu was puzzled, "Isn't it a good thing?"

"Well, figure it out yourself."

There are many people in the harem and it’s better not to say some things.

After saying that, Xia Xizhi stood up, stretched, and went back to his room.

This mess has been handed over, and she has solved another problem. She is really awesome~

Guyu scratched his head and muttered,

"Why has your Majesty become so unfathomable now..."

......

Prime Minister's House.

When Ruan Qingqing heard that there was a new Zhaoyi in the palace, and that she was the niece of the empress dowager, she could no longer sit still.

What if the Queen Mother's niece is pregnant? That would be the eldest son. The eldest son treats men differently, and Zhou Yan is definitely no exception.

Thinking of Zhou Yan, Ruan Qingqing's face turned very bad.

She knew he had other women, but she still felt uncomfortable hearing the news...

Ruan Qingqing's face was very gloomy. No, she had to use that idiot to enter the palace.

But she absolutely could not start as a concubine. Ruan Qingqing's eyes flashed. She had already made up her mind that she would first enter the palace to be a female official.

Firstly, as a female official, having an affair with Zhou Yan would be more exciting, and Zhou Yan would be more unable to stop loving her. Secondly, female officials have ranks and salaries. If she gets pregnant in the future, she can at least be granted the title of noble lady by virtue of her position as a female official.

It is much more comfortable than climbing up from the lowest rank of concubine.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qingqing immediately wrote a letter and gave it to the eunuch who was responsible for delivering messages to the palace.

......

Yutang Palace.

After Zhang Xiuchun returned, he immediately checked the account book and was surprised to see the flow of money in the Pepper Room.

"Does the Queen need to spend so much money in a day? She's too extravagant!"

Zhang Xiuchun's eyes were filled with undisguised jealousy. She earned more money in a day than her family earned in a year. She was also a concubine, so why was there such a huge gap between her and her...

"That won't do. She knows how many people out there are starving. I'm going to tell the Queen Mother that her expenses must be reduced..."

Aunt Fang was speechless. She is the queen, and you, a mere concubine, want to control her?

"Your Majesty, the expenses of the Pepper Palace are all in accordance with the specifications. Any excess is made up by the Empress herself."

Zhang Xiuchun was stunned, and his voice was out of control with surprise.

"How does she have so much silver? She even uses gold leaf jade bracelets to reward her servants? How is that possible?"

Aunt Fang couldn't help but roll her eyes. Is this amount of silver too much?

She's the prime minister's daughter, and her dowry is enough to provide her with food and drink for the rest of her life. What's this little bit of silver to her?

Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I explained,

"Your Majesty, the Queen's dowry is generous."

Zhang Xiuchun paused, thinking of the rumored queen's wedding with a gorgeous red dress, his eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment.

"Oh! She is indeed the daughter of a treacherous minister!"

"This money is all plundered from the people!"

"My cousin should have raided the house of such a treacherous minister!"
