Chapter 632 The Tragic Palace Maid 25
Chapter 632 The Tragic Palace Maid 25
Jiang Chunxi's words made Liu Fu feel the same way.
Even though he was the chief eunuch of the emperor, even the queen was polite to him.
But a servant is a servant, and life and death are just a matter of a word from his master. However, as a eunuch, he is destined not to dream of leaving the palace, unlike the palace maids who can still have some hope of leaving.
For example, serving a good master can make the master arrange a good marriage for you.
Of course, don't expect anything from Guiguiren. With a master like her, being her slave is just bad luck. Don't even think about getting any benefits.
"Since Concubine Jiang has become the emperor's concubine, she should pay more attention to the emperor," Liu Fu advised kindly, "You should know that Concubine Jiang is different to the emperor."
"Even though the emperor dislikes Guigui now, he may remember Guigui's kindness one day. Even if Guigui wins the emperor's favor again, you don't have to take it too seriously. After all, the emperor's favor for Guigui is just that."
"But there are exceptions to everything. Who knows if Zhengui will become smart one day? Who can guarantee that the emperor will always treat Zhengui so specially? Maybe one day he will really treat Zhengui as the apple of his eye. Then Zhengui will probably become a favorite concubine like her aunt, Imperial Concubine Yu."
Liu Fu had now completely offended Zhengui, so naturally he didn't want to give Zhengui any chance of becoming a favorite concubine.
So even though he was reminding Jiang Chunxi with good intentions, in the end he still wanted Jiang Chunxi to be more powerful so that she could beat the cute person to death completely.
Jiang Chunxi: "With Eunuch Liu's advice, I will certainly not let him down."
When talking to smart people, there is no need to be too blunt.
"Then I wish Concubine Jiang a bright future," Liu Fu said with a smile, "The Emperor still needs my servant to serve him, so I will take my leave now."
"Goodbye, Eunuch Liu." Jiang Chunxi smiled and watched Eunuch Liu leave.
"Lady Jiang," Yundou came to Jiang Chunxi after Eunuch Liu left, "The main hall has been cleaned, please go in quickly!"
"I heard that Guigui is sick," Jiang Chunxi let Yundou support her as she walked into the main hall. "Wasn't he fine yesterday? How come he fell ill today? Could it be that he pretended to be sick in order not to pay his respects to the Queen?"
"Zhuigui is really ill," Yundou said after helping Jiang Chunxi to sit on the couch in the main hall. "She was kept in Qingyun Palace by Concubine Hui yesterday and tortured for a whole day. After she came back, she fainted on the floor of her room and lay there all night."
"If I hadn't gone in to take a look this morning, I'm afraid that even if the precious lady was burned to death, no one would know," Yundou said, looking at Jiang Chunxi in a flattering manner, "Madam Jiang, can I come to serve you? You know best what kind of suffering I have to endure by serving the precious lady."
"So please have mercy on me and let me serve you!"
"It's not that I don't want you to come and serve me," Jiang Chunxi said, "but I have more important things for you to do. Our precious person has made us suffer so much, are you willing to let her go?"
"But don't worry, I don't want you to do anything that will get you killed. I just want you to stay by my precious person's side and serve her well. As for how to serve her, you did a great job yesterday."
"Of course, even if you continue to serve the precious lady, I will not let you continue to suffer with her. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make up for the share of a senior palace maid. As for the spoiled food, you naturally do not need to continue eating it."
"By the way, what did the emperor give as a reward? Is there any yellow or white stuff like silver or gold?"
"Yes, yes," Yundou said quickly, "There are two hundred taels of silver and twenty taels of gold. The emperor must have known that you didn't have any money, so he gave you the silver and gold as a reward."
"Your Majesty is very considerate," Jiang Chunxi said with great satisfaction, "Go and get twenty taels of silver yourself, and consider it as a reward from me. Continue to serve my precious person well. As long as you serve my precious person well, I will never treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Lady Jiang." Yundou said ecstatically, then went to get twenty taels by herself and hurried back to Lady Gui.
After all, she still hopes that the precious person will get rich, so naturally she has to serve the precious person wholeheartedly.
After Yundou left, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department personally brought servants for Jiang Chunxi to choose.
The people in the Imperial Household Department are all shrewd people. They know that Concubine Jiang is very much favored by the Emperor now, otherwise she would not have served him in the emperor's bedchamber last night and was immediately promoted to a Concubine today.
As for why he didn't come in person yesterday and didn't even arrange for anyone to serve Concubine Jiang, it was naturally because the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were just waiting and watching.
After all, with a master like Gui Zheng, who knows if Concubine Jiang is also like Gui Zheng, whose favor is a joke.
In short, when it comes to matters concerning the Glazed Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs adheres to the principle of treating everyone equally. However, not only was Concubine Jiang promoted today, but the chief steward Liu also came to the Glazed Palace in person with a large amount of rewards.
What does this represent? It represents that Concubine Jiang’s favor is not of the same nature as Concubine Zhengui’s so-called favor.
So the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department hurried to the Glazed Palace.
Jiang Chunxi naturally would not make things difficult for the steward of the Imperial Household Department. She even had a friendly exchange with him.
As for what to communicate, it was naturally about how the Ministry of Internal Affairs treated precious people before, and they would treat them the same way in the future. However, the allowances and food for the servants in the Liuli Palace could no longer be the same.
The steward of the Imperial Household Department left the Glass Palace with a smile on his face.
The godfather of Cheng Zongguan of the Imperial Household Department was killed by the late emperor's Imperial Concubine Yu, just because Cheng Zongguan's godfather was delivering the newly tributed Dongzhu to the Empress, who was the Empress Dowager at the time. When passing by the Imperial Garden, he was seen by Imperial Concubine Yu, who wanted to take the Dongzhu away by force.
Naturally, Cheng Zongguan's godfather could not give the Dongzhu to Concubine Yu. After all, only the Queen could wear the Dongzhu. So no matter how favored Concubine Yu was, she could not wear the Dongzhu.
And the most important thing is, if he gave the Dongzhu to Concubine Yu, how would he explain to the Empress Dowager?
Then, Cheng Zongguan's godfather was beaten to death by Concubine Yu on the spot, so Cheng Zongguan vowed to avenge his godfather. However, he did not expect that as soon as the late emperor died, the Empress Dowager killed Concubine Yu directly, which made Cheng Zongguan unable to vent his hatred.
Therefore, as soon as Guigui entered the palace, General Cheng set his sights on her. Since Concubine Yu was already dead, it made sense for him to take out his anger on Concubine Yu's niece!
