The flower king Wei Zi loved his the most among all the peonies.
”Give her a message first. The princess' matriarch's concubine, Liu, is best friends with the princess. Hearing what the Empress Dowager has said, it seems that the princess is going to be promoted to her position.”
It had to be said that Zhong's Zhen Zhen was an extremely intelligent person, he had only been to the palace once. Not only could he save the Empress Dowager, he could also find out what was going on in the palace.
Although it was related to Empress Dowager's indulgence, it was still her strength.
Within Phoenix Dancing Palace, the newly appointed Empress Zhuang was dressed in a light purple satin peony embroidered top with a high collar. Beneath it was a similarly colored, pleated long skirt.
Empress Dowager, this is the new Lotus Flower Cake served by the imperial chef.
The new palace maid, Ru Zhu, stood to the side and worked extremely hard, afraid that she would not be able to do it well. She angered Empress Zhuang, just like the palace maid from earlier today, and was beaten half to death right before her eyes.
Then, the Empress Zhuang gave the order that he pitied her and served her for a while before letting her pack up and return to her room to recuperate.
He used the pill and left in less than an hour.
A straw mat was wrapped around their bodies. It seemed that everyone was not surprised, and no one had any doubts.
”What are you bringing me, a lowly slut, to the This Palace for?” Empress Zhuang's voice was cold, but her mouth was like a knife as she reprimanded the palace maids.
Seeing her, Empress Zhuang inevitably thought of the palace maid who had died because of her.
Initially, he didn't intend to take her life. However, no matter which little palace maid he took, he wouldn't be able to deceive the Emperor. Thus, she was the most suitable for this task.
Now that this Ruzhu guy had come up, he felt a little uncomfortable wherever he used it.
Since it wasn't easy to make a decision, he decided to make it his own.
”Your Highness, please forgive me.” Ruzhu was not stupid, he was just scared.
”Go down.” The old nanny behind Empress Zhuang stepped forward.
”Take this cake away. Remember, the Empress doesn't like to eat lotus flower cakes.”
Ru Zhu didn't understand. Since Empress Dowager didn't like eating Lotus Flower Cake, why did he have to serve Lotus Cake to entertain Madam Sun in the morning?
The Empress Zhuang would naturally not tell her the truth.
She had no choice but to take the pastries and retreat.
Only when they were outside the hall, breathing in the fresh air, did they feel that they were still alive.
However, just by taking in a deep breath, it was as if he could sense the stench of blood in the air. It left her at a loss.
”How did such a clumsy person climb up?” Was it so easy to get into her palace?
Empress Zhuang looked at the door.
The sun shone brightly.
Seeing such a golden light, his heart grew much wider.
”Esteemed Empress, if there were only smart people in the world, wouldn't everyone be exhausted to death?”
If the former empress was smart enough, would she have schemed against her child?
If Imperial Consort Yu was smart enough, how could she have failed again and again?
If they were smart, how would their His Highness the Fourth Prince get the throne in the end?
Thus, they naturally did not have to be too smart.
There's always enough to be smart.
Right now, the left and right Empress Dowager do not lack people to order around, just casually use them. Why ask for too much?
”That's true. They are only pawns. If the pawns were to become smart themselves, what would they need us to do?”
Empress Zhuang sighed with emotion, then recalled the important matter.
”Then, what does mama think?”
From early morning, Zhong's was not the only woman called over by the imperial court. Her position was much higher than hers, and the position was even lower.
However, after some comprehensive evaluation, it seemed to be Zhong's's greatest advantage.
”The Empress has already come to a conclusion in her heart. This servant does not wish to say too much.”
If the Empress Zhuang had not taken a fancy to the Zhong's, she would not have sacrificed her palace maids to create such a drama.
”This Palace told you to say it.” old nanny had been by Empress Zhuang's side for a long time.
He was a man who thought about himself wholeheartedly, and it was rare to see him as a very intelligent person.
He would never say anything unnecessary, and he would never do anything unnecessary either.
It was very convincing.
”The best choice would be the Qian Family.”
The point of view of the old nanny was that since the Empress Zhuang now had a lot of power, what was lacking was the financial resources that matched up to her status and position.
In the entire capital, there were plenty of rich people, but how could such a rich man easily enter the eyes of the Empress Dowager?
After all, wealth merchants were the cheapest industry.
At that time, I'm afraid everyone will laugh at Fourth Prince's smelly copper body.
However, the Qian Family was different.
They were the hereditary marquis. Not only were they respected in the noble provinces, but they themselves could do business. Naturally, they also had the wealth of rich and wealthy people. Wasn't this the best if they had both status and money?
”Also, this servant has heard that the ladies of the Qian Family are not bad either. Although they were born in a concubine state, they are raised in accordance to the rules set by the descendants.” The most important thing was that she was born under Madam Hou's knee.
