Dayu Dynasty has very few descendants of the current emperor.
After the queen gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, it took seven or eight years before a prince and princess were finally born in the harem. After so many years, there are a total of five princes and three princesses. In other words, the emperor is forty years old. Eight children are really too few for the head of a country.
It was precisely because of the small number of children that Yun Chang was named Yun's concubine a year ago after giving birth to the fifth prince. A true mother is worthy of her son, and if one person achieves enlightenment, the whole family will benefit.
The current prince was born to the queen. As the eldest son, he was eight years older than the second prince. It could be said that no one could challenge the prince's identity.
Because the crown prince's status was stable, there was basically no fight for the right to inherit the throne. This was what the people of the Dayu Dynasty considered the queen's greatest merit.
"The queen's identity is given by the emperor, and the queen's merits are achieved by the prince. I really haven't done anything myself." The queen smiled and changed the subject, "I have someone arrange a house in the imperial city. In the alley on the east side, all the utensils are complete, and the waiters have been sent there. The Sui'an people should live in that courtyard while they are in the capital."
Cheng Wanwan lowered his head, showing fear: "Queen, you don't have to be like this..."
"This is the emperor's order. I have to do it even if I don't want to do it." The queen said seriously, "The people from Sui'an are staying in Beijing to do things for the imperial court. I don't understand those important national affairs, so I can only do it for the people of Sui'an. No worries.”
Cheng Wanwan was about to thank Fengen, when a woman's voice came from not far away.
She looked back and saw a dozen or so gorgeously dressed women walking over. She looked like they were concubines from the harem.
"It turns out that the Queen has really summoned the people of Sui'an. Why don't you ask me and others to come and talk to the people of Sui'an?"
"I have long heard about the things Sui'an people have done for the people of Dayu Dynasty. I have always admired them. I didn't expect to meet the real Sui'an people."
"People say that Sui'an is an old peasant woman. I almost believed it. It turns out that Sui'an is so young."
"People in Sui'an are busy with farming every day, so how can they maintain it so well? Can you tell us how to maintain it?"
"..."
Cheng Wanwan was caught off guard and was surrounded by a group of palace concubines.
The queen showed her dignity and said in a very calm and cold voice: "Don't scare the people of Sui'an. Please sit down."
The palace concubines each found a seat to sit down according to their rank, and the surroundings suddenly had a strong fragrance of powder.
"I'm from Sui'an. My maiden name is Lin. When my mother entered the palace a few days ago, she always mentioned the people from Sui'an to me." Concubine Lin pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I've known for a long time that people from Sui'an have come to the capital. I thought I would never see him again, but thanks to the Queen’s blessing, I finally got to see the legendary Sui’an people.”
"In the hundreds of years since the founding of our Daewoo Dynasty, people from Sui'an have become the royal ladies of the court by virtue of their own abilities. They are indeed a role model for our women."
"There are only two women I admire in this world. One is our queen, and the second one is from Sui'an..."
Cheng Wanwan showed a standard fake smile.
These concubines saw that the emperor summoned her, and then the queen summoned her, so they couldn't wait to flatter her.
To hold her up to the same level as the queen is not to flatter her.
Fortunately, the queen is kind at heart, otherwise, she would definitely have fear in her heart...
In the midst of the harmony, a discordant voice sounded.
"What Concubine Xian said is too hypocritical." The concubine in a rose-red palace dress waved her veil and said, "If the Emperor is the sun in the sky, then the Queen is the bright moon in the night sky. What Concubine Xian means is that the sky can Are there two moons?”
Others followed up and echoed: "What Concubine Yun said is absolutely true. No matter how powerful the people of Sui'an are, they are only of the sixth rank. They are not worthy of being praised like this by the sisters. It is disrespectful to the harem."
Cheng Wanwan looked over and realized that the person who spoke harshly was Yun Bin.
She still remembered that not long ago, she took Ninglan to the street, and Master Ye, who raped a girl on the street, was Yunbin's biological brother.
Mr. Ye is arrogant and domineering, and this concubine Yun is not a good person... If she really had a conflict with Mr. Ye that day, with her current rank and status, she would definitely not be the opponent of the Ye family... She really shouldn't stop As a Liupinanren...
Concubine Yun leaned on the chair and said: "A court lady with a rank of less than fifth rank is not qualified to enter the harem to meet the empress. The people of Sui'an have such a great honor, so they must serve the court wholeheartedly."
"What, Yun Bin is accusing me of ignoring the rules of the harem?" The queen picked up a cup of tea and said softly, "Sui'an was summoned to the palace by the emperor. It was still early, so she stopped by Kunning Palace. If When it comes to violations, it should be the emperor's violation. Do we need to ask the censor to come and read the emperor's book?"
Concubine Yun immediately stood up and said, "I don't dare to..."
The fifth prince she gave birth to was a new baby born after many years in the palace. The emperor was old enough to have a son, so he often came to her palace to play with the children. Because of this, she became the most favored concubine in the harem. Even the Queen indulged her to a certain extent, so she had the guts to say such words just now. She was sure that the Queen would not let her lose face just because of a country woman.
Unexpectedly, the queen directly moved the emperor out.
She is the mother-in-law of the fifth prince, and the queen actually defends a mud-legged brat from the countryside...
She lowered her head and said: "I heard that the husband of Sui'an died early and was a widow. The emperor summoned a widow privately. Could it be..."
She didn't believe that the queen could tolerate a widow approaching the emperor. Although the widow was a little older, she still looked young. If the emperor was confused for a moment, maybe he would...
"presumptuous!"
The queen looked angry and threw the tea cup down.
The people sitting on the edge quickly stood up, and Cheng Wanwan also stood up.
She walked to the middle, knelt down and said: "The Queen, please be aware that my wife's meeting with the Emperor is about Asab's affairs, not..."
"Of course I know why the emperor summoned the Sui'an people, and the Sui'an people don't need to explain." The queen looked at Yun Concubine coldly, "Yun Concubine's collision with the Sui'an people is not a serious matter, but if she is not punished, it will be unpleasant in the future. If word of this spreads out from the harem, the emperor should blame me for not being able to discipline the harem properly. For the sake of your merit in giving birth to the fifth prince, you will be punished for three months and grounded for half a month. Are you convinced?"
Concubine Yun's eyes widened. Of course she was not convinced. She wanted to say something else, but the queen continued, "Mother Zhou, send Concubine Yun back."
Over the past year, Yun Bin took advantage of the fifth prince and often ignored her as the queen. She cared about the overall situation, so she never argued with Yun Bin. Now that Yun Bin is questioning the relationship between Sui'an and the emperor in public, if she doesn't punish her. Damn, these concubines really thought that she, the mother of a nation, had a good temper.
Concubine Yun was sent out directly by Grandma Zhou.
The concubine who just echoed Concubine Yun's words stood in fear, lowering her head and twisting the veil, not daring to express her anger.
Because there is no conflict over the inheritance, the queen usually seems to be easy to get along with, but once she gets angry, it is not something they can bear.
"Come here, bring up the rewards I have prepared for the people of Sui'an!"
As soon as the queen finished speaking, the eunuch who was waiting next to her went down and carried a few boxes over. The boxes and cages were opened, and they were all filled with all kinds of glittering jewelry and cloth.
The concubines could see clearly that the Queen was giving a high status to the people of Sui'an. Anyone who dared to say those unfavorable words to the people of Sui'an would be the enemy of the Queen.
Cheng Wanwan immediately knelt down and said, "I thank the Queen for your kindness. I will devote all my energy to sharing the Emperor's worries and live up to the Queen's hard work."
