The silent absence of a palace attendant from the emperor's eldest womb did not attract much attention, and there were also two unspectacular palace attendants around Rong Zhao. It is said that the original palace attendants relied on their ability to serve the emperor.
The eldest son was a little disrespectful to the other masters in private, so he was replaced. Everyone couldn't help but sigh, Queen Gu was still cautious as usual.
Soon, a piece of news diverted everyone's attention.
Zhu Yaer was promoted to a talented person because of her meritorious service in serving the queen, her dexterity, and her extravagant wisdom. She was also given the title of Hui. From then on, she became a talented person.
Everyone knows Zhu Yaer's origins. She was just a beauty donated by local officials in New South Wales at first. Unlike other concubines, most of them entered the palace through drafts and were born as officials. Such a person has been in the palace for less than half a year.
, she became a talented person from a lady. This speed of promotion is really eye-catching, and now she even has the title of Hui. Many talented people who have been in the palace for a long time have not been titled.
Many concubines were jealous in their hearts - they were usually respectful to the Queen, so why didn't the Emperor promote them? After all, the Emperor was looking for an excuse to promote Zhu Ya'er. This Zhu Ya'er is indeed quite beautiful, but
She is not as beautiful as Concubine Li. Why does the emperor love her so much?
Zhu Yaer received the imperial edict respectfully, with a charming and joyful smile on her face.
The people in the palace who served her were very happy. In this palace, although the queen was watching, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to treat the lower-level concubines harshly, the favored and unfavored ones were still treated differently. For example, for the same share, their master got
Face, a dish of pork, the imperial kitchen is also willing to cook it in various ways. But for a concubine who is not favored, just boil it and sprinkle with some salt.
When the eunuch who issued the decree left, Zhu Yaer said: "Everyone in our palace will receive two months more monthly money this month."
If she wants the palace people to be loyal to her, she has to give them sweet treats from time to time.
Zhu Yaer was still smiling in front of others, but when she and her confidants were alone in the room, the smile on her face disappeared.
"What troubles do you have in your heart?"
Zhu Yaer bit her lower lip gently, "It's a good thing to be a talented person..." If she is favored, she can bribe more palace people to work for her, and it will be easier to help her husband. And she can be promoted this time, and she wants to be the queen.
He said a lot of good things about her in front of the emperor. Her hard work in cooking during this period still had an effect. The queen had begun to treat her as one of her own and was willing to lift her up.
but……
"My title is Hui."
"Isn't Hui bad?"
It shows that the master is a smart, knowledgeable and beautiful woman in the emperor's heart.
Zhu Yaer said: "My husband's title is Hui, and my title sounds the same as hers."
Why did the emperor choose such a title for her? What if the husband doesn't like it?
The palace maid said: "Mrs. Zi has a broad mind. What she sees in her eyes is the affairs of the world, not this small harem. If you think of her like this, you have underestimated her mind. If you can be favored, it is too late for Madam Zi to be happy.
.”
Zhu Yaer was enlightened by her enlightenment. The sadness on her face finally dissipated, and she was still a little ashamed in her heart. How could she think of her husband like that?
She also thought of another level. In this case, other people in the palace would definitely believe that she and her husband were not on good terms, which would facilitate her future actions.

In Yanchun Palace.
Xie Yunzi miswrote another word. Today, she originally planned to copy the Jingjing Sutra to calm her mind, but she still failed.
Intelligent people.
Her tongue rolled over the word "wisdom", and sparks almost burst out of her eyes.
The emperor often came to see her these days and drank the scented tea she brewed herself. He said that with her, he could find a long-lost peace. Xie Yunzi originally thought that he had a place for her in his heart. But when he turned around, he realized
Zhu Yaer was canonized as a talented person.
I'm afraid that many concubines are watching her jokes, seeing that she is the legitimate daughter of a noble family, but she can't compare to the things donated by one place. Even if Zhu Ya'er is her student, she does hope that Zhu Ya'er will climb to a higher position.
But he didn't hope that she would overtake him, let alone use a title with the same sound as hers - she was the legitimate daughter of a noble family, and Ya'er was just a commoner girl chosen by her because of her appearance. When the emperor chose that title, he didn't
Have you considered her situation?
Although Ya'er is still just a talented person now, she has only been in the palace for less than half a year... In a few years, if she continues to stagnate in her position as a concubine, Ya'er may really get the upper hand.
Xie Yunzi felt that her dignity as the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family had been humiliated, which made her resentful of both the emperor and Zhu Yaer. However, she couldn't vent her anger by smashing things like other concubines. If word spread, I'm afraid everyone would
To be fair, she had a weak heart. She could only rely on copying scriptures to calm down, but unfortunately, the results were very little.
She took a deep breath, put down the pen, and ordered: "Bring me the warehouse list. The promotion of Huicai is a rare and happy event. I have to choose a gift for her myself."
In order to reduce the suspicion on her body, she had to keep a low profile in the palace. Zhu Yaer was a good knife and she could not be separated from her.
Her eyes flashed, and she added, "Bring the Fu Guang Brocade as well. Huicai is young and beautiful, and the Fu Guang Brocade only looks good on a little girl like her."
When the floating brocade was brought to her, Xie Yunzi brushed it gently with her hand, her expression a bit gloomy.
…
"How have you been these past few days?"
Queen Gu asked her confidant Nanny Zhu.
A smile appeared on Aunt Zhu's face, "The eldest prince has been holding the little pony these past few days, and even fed it with apples himself. He looked very happy. He also said that he would study hard and name the little pony himself.
.”
Knowing that her son was happy and carefree, Queen Gu's already gentle brows became even softer.
There have been a lot of things going on in the harem recently, and only her son can give her some relief.
Now that Tuantuan has the manpower arranged by Yueling, she can feel a little more relieved.
A few days ago, she investigated the Ahri in Tuantuan's yard, but she did not find any results. The person who bribed him was obviously very careful. In the end, Concubine Li smelled that the incense on Ahri's handkerchief was very similar to that of Zhu Ya'er's personal palace maid.
, thus reminding her.
Empress Gu knew that Zhu Yaer's status was not high and she had no heirs, so naturally she was not taking action for herself, but most likely to benefit her concubines.
She put the evidence in front of the emperor and instead of asking him to punish Zhu Yaer, she persuaded him to suppress the matter.
At least Zhu Yaer has come to the surface. If she is removed, Qi Huibin will send someone else over. In that case, it will be even more difficult to guard against. Instead, she can use Zhu Yaer to release some news that seems true and false to mislead them.
The emperor is determined to eradicate the influence of the family, so Hui concubine can be defeated, but not now.
However, the emperor was obviously very narrow-minded. Not only did he promote Zhu Yaer to the position, he even gave her the title of Hui.
Thinking of this, Empress Gu almost laughed out loud, but it was a pity that she could not see Hui Bin's expression after hearing the imperial edict.
She ordered: "The emperor's whim made Hui concubine a little embarrassed. Send the pot of Longyou plum in the flower room to Yanchun Palace."
Yueling is so smart. In the future, when giving rewards to Hui Concubine, she does not need to be promoted, nor does she need to search for rare treasures in the storehouse. She can just choose potted flowers from the flower room. Who makes Hui Concubine like this?
