Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

The items used by a concubine were quite different from those used by a noblewoman, and the number of palace servants serving her was also different, so the Imperial Household Department naturally had to make up for it in time.

"The necessities for Consort Zhen's allowance have been delivered to Suiyu Pavilion, and the necessary maids and eunuchs have also been sent. However, Consort Zhen is not here, and there is no one in charge of Suiyu Pavilion. What do you think of this matter, Eunuch Yun?"

Although Consort Zhen gave birth in Chengqian Palace, she will definitely return to Suiyu Pavilion for her postpartum confinement. There is no precedent in this palace for someone to have their postpartum confinement in another's palace.

The items added to Suiyuxuan were all furniture and ornaments made of different materials. These items could not have been brand new; they were mostly recycled and reused multiple times.

It's always good if someone who can make a decision reviews it first, otherwise there's no going back, and people might not like it or find out some problems and start making a fuss.

The New Year is just around the corner, and they're busy enough that they don't have time to chat with Suiyuxuan about these trivial matters.

But Xiaoyunzi can't leave right away.

Yun Changzai went to the Emperor's court and never returned. Although there are many palace maids in Chengqian Palace, many of them are not under Yun Xiaozhu's command. If he doesn't keep an eye on them, how can he feel at ease?

After handing this Eunuch He a large red envelope, Xiao Yunzi said in a very humble manner:

“Our young mistress has complete confidence in Eunuch He’s work, and the things you send are always of the highest quality and perfectly suited to her taste. Unfortunately, our young mistress is unable to leave here, so I will send someone with you to Suiyu Pavilion to have the palace servants replace them one by one.”

Regardless of whether there's a problem or not, even the young master couldn't tell the difference in the Broken Jade Pavilion. We'll have to find the imperial physician to examine her before we can know for sure.

If Your Highness were to personally inspect it, you would at most check whether the style and color suit your taste.

"However, there's no need for servants. Our young mistress prefers quiet and isn't one for pomp and circumstance. Please take the servants you sent back with you."

They have plenty of manpower, and they can transfer a few of the people Miss Liu Zhu gave them into Suiyu Pavilion. It's always safer to use their own people.

Despite the trouble, Eunuch He reluctantly agreed. With the reward money in hand, everything was negotiable.

"Alright then, I'll trouble myself to make another trip to Suiyu Pavilion. If Miss Zhen needs someone to serve her in the future, just have someone come to the Imperial Household Department to let her know."

Xiao Yunzi beckoned over a eunuch: "Thank you for making this trip. His name is Xiao Fangzi. Just tell him what you need."

After taking a look, Eunuch He left Suiyuxuan with Xiao Fangzi.

Inside the Broken Jade Pavilion, a group of eunuchs were standing close together under the eaves.

The weather gets so cold at night that it can freeze you to death, and the corridor is drafty, making it even colder and causing your nose to run constantly.

Unfortunately, there was no one in charge of the Broken Jade Pavilion, so no one dared to light a charcoal brazier for them or find them a room to shelter from the wind. They could only endure it like this.

Therefore, when they saw Eunuch He, who had returned, their eyes lit up as if they were seeing a relative.

A message came from Xiao Fangzi that the furniture and decorations were quickly replaced, and many things that were not in Suiyuxuan before were added.

For example, a carved and openwork sandalwood screen would fit perfectly in the bedroom. There's also a matching four-door wardrobe, much more spacious and beautiful than the one my daughter had before.

There is also a bronze mirror as tall as a person, inlaid with rosewood. The workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the mirror surface is polished exceptionally smooth, reflecting a person's entire body.

The concubines in the harem all love beauty, and having a full-length mirror like this would surely make them happy.

In addition, several enamelware items were added, including an incense burner shaped like a crane exhaling smoke, which was so beautiful and lifelike that it seemed as if a real crane was perched in the room.

Xiao Fangzi was the eunuch who had been by Xiao Yunzi's side the longest. He had a good understanding of Zhen Huan's aesthetics and preferences, and he could tell from the flower patterns that Zhen Huan must like them.

He expressed his sincere gratitude to Eunuch He, and when he went to Chengqian Palace to report back, he praised all these things to the best of his ability.

Finally, he exclaimed, "The Imperial Household Department has put a lot of effort into this matter. Not only have they sent the best items, but they have also been tailored to Your Highness's preferences."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunzi felt a pang of doubt, but then she remembered that it seemed that the people Liu Zhu had given her had staff working in the Imperial Household Department. She wondered if it was these people who had helped her.

"Alright, you can go through the trouble again and ask the Emperor about Consort Yun's whereabouts..."

Xiao Yunzi stopped mid-sentence.

It seems that Miss Yun has already drifted apart from their mistress, and asking any more questions won't change that.

"Alright, you don't need to do this. Go to the Imperial Hospital and see if our young mistress's usual physician, Imperial Physician Wei, has left the palace. If he hasn't, ask Imperial Physician Wei to go to Suiyu Pavilion to check if there are any problems with the items sent by the Imperial Household Department."

Unfortunately, Wei Lin was not in the palace and had been transferred to Zhengjiazhuang—a place where the former deposed crown prince and the current Prince Li's family were imprisoned.

The return date is uncertain.

Xiao Yunzi had no choice but to give up and asked Xiao Fangzi to send a message back, instructing the palace servants of Suiyuxuan to carefully and repeatedly wipe and clean the items sent by the Imperial Household Department.

Then he waited outside Zhen Huan's room for her to wake up.

As for the little princess, she had already been taken away and sent to Consort Jing's Xianfu Palace when the imperial messengers came to announce the decree.

Naturally, it's not up to Xiao Yunzi to worry about it.

As for how things were going with the Empress, Xiao Yunzi was eager to find out.

Firstly, he feared that acting on his own would ruin Zhen Huan's plans. Secondly, Consort Yun had not returned for a long time, and the people in the imperial court might be investigating the matter. If he made any unusual moves at this time, wouldn't he be giving himself away?

At this point, it's better to stay still than to make a move.

Chengqian Palace was quiet, but the other palaces were in an uproar.

Although Su Peisheng's detention and interrogation of the palace servants of Jingren Palace was not a blatant act, there were so many palace servants in Jingren Palace that no matter which route they took to Shenxingsi, some palace maids and eunuchs would inevitably see them.

Once one person saw it, the news spread like wildfire, eventually reaching the ears of all the concubines.

In Yikun Palace, Consort Hua had just put her beloved daughter to sleep and was preparing to return to the main hall to rest when she saw Zhou Ninghai walking in from outside, his face full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great news! Incredible good news!"

Zhou Ninghai lowered his voice and said with a glint in his eyes.

Before Consort Hua could ask, he revealed everything about the arrest of the palace servants in Jingren Palace.

"This servant also learned that the culprit who caused Consort Zhen's premature birth was Huichun from Jingren Palace. She knocked Consort Zhen down in the Imperial Garden. Perhaps the Emperor was angered by this and lost his last bit of affection for the Empress."

Consort Hua frowned. Although this was indeed the case on the surface, given the emperor's ruthlessness and cold-heartedness, it was impossible for him to attack the empress just because a palace maid caused a concubine to have a premature birth.
