Chapter 1091 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 17
After leaving Jingren Palace, Concubine Hui looked at her good sister with worry, "Today, Concubine Nian was too blunt in her words. And I heard from the palace maids that Concubine Nian was arrogant and domineering in the past, and it was obvious that she would not tolerate anyone being favored. It was only after she entered the palace that she was suppressed by the Empress that she became more quiet."
"Huan'er, what if Concubine Nian holds a grudge against you?"
Wan Changzai was also worried about being targeted by Nian Shilan, but she had only served him in the emperor's bed once, and even though she had won the first place among the newcomers, she felt that it was a little early to think about these things now.
"Don't worry, Sister Mei. Even though Concubine Nian is overbearing, the Queen will not indulge Concubine Nian. Otherwise, she would not have suppressed Concubine Nian so early."
There were some things that Wan Chang didn't say. She had a lot of respect for the queen in her heart. She felt that even though the queen was from the Ulanara clan, there were not many Ulanara officials now, and they had no power in the previous dynasty, and they were not as powerful as the Nian family. However, even so, the queen still easily suppressed Concubine Nian and made her unable to move, which showed her superb skills.
After hearing what Wan Changzai said, Concubine Hui felt relieved. However, at night, Da Pangju still turned over Wan Changzai's nameplate, and Concubine Hui became more and more worried. When Da Pangju had been served by Wan Changzai for seven consecutive days, Concubine Hui had already taken the initiative to go to the west hall to give advice, asking Wan Changzai to think of a way to avoid favor.
Concubine Hui was really naive and worried that Wan Chang would be hated by all the women in the harem. "Huan'er, I am only happy that you are favored, but now..."
"We can't take on all the resentment of the harem!"
Concubine Wan also understood this principle very well, but she was somewhat dazzled by the emperor's favor. The expression on her face was very forced. She even unconsciously observed whether Concubine Hui was jealous of her. When she saw the expression of worry on Concubine Hui's face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Trying to adjust her mood, Wan Changzai took Concubine Hui's hand and comforted her, saying, "I understand what Sister Mei means, and I appreciate Sister Mei's kindness. Even if I don't move, and the Queen doesn't move, others should also take action. Then I will step down."
However, although the Queen Mother gave Concubine Wan a way out, she asked her to copy scriptures in the Buddhist temple at the back. Concubine Wan was scolded by the Queen Mother and felt very aggrieved. When Fatty Ju asked her to accompany him, she couldn't help but show it a little.
Of course, Big Fat Orange also knew that Concubine Wan was being embarrassed, but he did not expect that the one who was being embarrassed was the Queen Mother, his own mother, while the women in the harem were just talking about it and not taking any action.
Of course, not everyone really did not move. At least Nian Shilan took the opportunity to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and complained to her. Then the Queen Mother called Wan Changzai to Shoukang Palace to copy scriptures.
The fact that Wan Chang did not do anything to show off himself by giving direct advice was beyond Big Fat Orange's expectation.
Big Fat Orange has changed his opinion of Wan Changzai a lot now, so when he sees Wan Changzai looking a little uneasy, he always shows some concern, "What's wrong? Is the Queen Mother giving you trouble?"
Wan Changzai quickly denied: "I am just a concubine, how can I be embarrassed by the Empress Dowager? I was just thinking about what the Empress Dowager said about worrying about the emperor's offspring."
Big Fat Orange was very satisfied with Wan Chang's attitude and understood what Wan Chang was trying to say, so he smiled and said, "I was so happy when I saw you that I didn't consider whether others would make things difficult for you."
Wan Changzai's position was very firm: "Your Majesty, what you said is not true. The Empress Dowager is just worried about your offspring. The concubines in the harem did not say anything to me. Even the Empress only asked me to share your worries."
"It's just that I myself sometimes feel anxious, fearing that I can't bear the emperor's love."
Big Fat Orange was very satisfied with Wan Changzai, so he went back and told her to be promoted to a noble lady while retaining her title. So Wan Changzai's exclusive favor ended on the eighth day, but her status had become Wan Noble Lady. Among the new ladies, she was the first to sleep with him and the first to be promoted.
Then Big Fat Ju went to stay with Concubine Zhen for a night, and then summoned Concubine Hui for three days in a row. Just when Nian Shilan was worried that Concubine Hui would be the next Concubine Wan, the affairs of the former court suddenly became more numerous, and after summoning Concubine Hui, Big Fat Ju stopped visiting the harem.
Neither Concubine Zhen nor Noble Lady Hui were promoted, both of them only received large rewards, but everyone in the harem looked up to them, because it was not easy to be promoted to the rank of concubine or imperial concubine. Concubine Zhen's position as imperial concubine was also due to the Mongolian forces behind her, so Noble Lady Hui was very open-minded about not being promoted.
The senior palace maid Huanbi beside Concubine Wan could not help but feel proud. She also had her own selfish motives. In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Hui already lived in the east hall. If Concubine Hui was promoted, then Concubine Hui would definitely be the head of Chengqian Palace. Unless her elder sister moved to another palace, she would have to be ranked below Concubine Hui.
Let alone sisterhood, Huanbi felt that there was no such thing as sisterhood in the palace. Only real interests were serious.
Although Cai Xing and Cai Yue tried their best not to say bad things about Concubine Wan in front of Concubine Hui, they still had to say something: "My lady, there is only one person who can take the position of the head of Chengqian Palace. If Concubine Wan takes the position, you will be laughed at by the whole palace."
Concubine Hui also had some of these concerns, but she decided not to worry about it. She valued her friendship with Concubine Wan more, so she warned Caiyue and Caixing seriously, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but we have just entered the palace not long ago. Even if I want to be promoted, I can only consider it after I conceive the heir to the throne."
Jiang Xinxin originally thought that since Big Fat Orange would not enter the harem, the palace would return to peace, but she didn't expect that Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Guarjia would visit together.
This wasn't the time to pay respects on the fifth day of the lunar calendar, and Jiang Xinxin didn't want to see the foul-mouthed Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Guaerjia at all, so she asked Jianqiu to send them away.
But she didn't expect that after she had dismissed them once, these two people would persist in asking for a meeting every day, which made Jiang Xinxin lose her temper and she had to summon them.
After the greeting, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Guaerjia looked at each other. In the end, Noble Lady Guaerjia spoke first, "Empress, the Emperor used to have Noble Lady Wan for seven consecutive days. Later, under the persuasion of the Empress Dowager, he went to Concubine Zhen. Then, he had Noble Lady Hui for three consecutive days, and then she never entered the harem again."
"I want to ask the Empress, but our Manchu flags have displeased the Emperor. Otherwise, why does the Emperor only value the two Han flags?"
Jiang Xinxin was so angry that she laughed at the noble Guaerjia. "How dare you say such irrelevant words?!"
"You are also princesses at home, and you must have been taught a lot of things at home. How come this queen is so unbearable that she allows you two little nobles to teach and manipulate her?!"
To be honest, Jiang Xinxin really wanted to pry open the heads of these two people to see what was inside!
Just because he was born into a prominent Manchu family, he dared to come and disturb the queen!
