Aunt Xu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. After the previous time, I have carefully selected a group of maids this time, all of whom are trustworthy. If Wu Niang is not with your Majesty, it will not work without someone to serve you. This is a miserable child in front of you."
"Ku'er?" Mo Yan took the tea and took a sip. It was very sweet. She said, "It's a bad name. From now on, I'll call you Si Tian."
"Slave Si Tian, thank the Queen for the name."
Mo Yan smiled lightly and expressed his agreement with her taking Wu Niang's place.
Aunt Xu is the steward who takes care of all the affairs of Chuxiu Palace. She really doesn't have much time to be responsible for the Queen's daily life, so Mo Yan really needs a personal maid by her side.
At this time, Mo Yan guessed that the time was almost up, and the concubines outside were already impatient with waiting, so he smiled and said, "Let them in."
All the concubines filed in, all wearing plain palace clothes, standing in three rows according to their rank in the harem, and saying in unison, "I send my regards to the Queen, who may live a thousand years!"
Mo Yan glanced at them one by one with a smile, and then said in a low voice, "No courtesy, please give me a seat."
When all the concubines sat down, Concubine Hua took the lead and said with a smile, "All of my concubines are late today, and I have made you wait for so long. Please forgive me."
Mo Yan looked at her with a smile. He obviously made them wait outside on purpose, but Concubine Hua said they were late, obviously to please her.
But she was unwilling to accept the favor, and just said lightly, "Is Concubine Ning still feeling unwell today? It's been the second day since she came to say hello."
Speaking of Concubine Ning, she hinted to the Queen Mother earlier intentionally or unintentionally that she was not innocent, but her innocence was also taken away by Emperor Xuanguang, so she had no fear
Since the late empress died less than three months ago, although she was honored as empress, her wedding ceremony with the emperor was scheduled for three months later.
She has already thought of a countermeasure, but she is not afraid that Concubine Ning will use her innocence to make trouble.
So Mo Yan told Concubine Ning very sternly the day before yesterday to raise the little prince well and not to make trouble for the Queen Mother by talking about right and wrong.
Concubine Ning was originally a proud and arrogant person. She was the emperor's favorite concubine and the concubine of the second prince. Even the Queen Mother was polite to her when she spoke. How could she have ever been so angry with her?
So for two days in a row, he said he was sick and couldn't come to the Queen's Palace to say hello.
Qin Liangyuan replied respectfully, "Back to your Majesty, the second prince was infected with typhoid fever. Concubine Ning had to take care of him, so she also fell ill."
Mo Yan glanced at her, with a slight smile on his face. Qin Liangyuan came to greet him diligently. She had told her a way to get close to Emperor Xuanguang before, but there was no progress. It was obvious that Qin Liangyuan's qualifications were average. Although she was not a good helper, her
She needs someone like this to help her find out the news. Foolish people have their own way of doing things.
Mo Yan firmly believed that she could not please Emperor Xuanguang like other women, but the women in the harem tried every means to please him. If they had the chance, they would try every means to take their place.
Stopping is not a good way. The best way is to make them fear and surrender to you. Then, even if they become beloved concubines one day, they will not become your enemies.
Look at these concubines. Even though they are kowtowing to me and pretending to be respectful, in their hearts they are afraid and disdainful of her.
So Mo Yan talks to them very calmly, with a touch of majesty.
It was the first time that I smiled so kindly at Qin Liangyuan.
I heard Mo Yan say gently, "I heard that Qin Liangyuan is also unwell. Seeing that your face is still a little pale, you can wait until you are well before you come to pay your respects to me."
