Nowadays, He Yao puts most of her energy on her growing children, and often her energy is limited. Huang Qiong still values her children very much. However, his parenting style was different from that of previous emperors. There is no arrangement for a nun to educate his children, and even the palace maids and eunuchs can only help take care of them. The mother has to take care of the children herself.
The eldest son of the emperor was born to He Yao. Huang Qiong's requirements were even stricter and he arranged for two eunuchs to serve him. Moreover, Huang Qiong requires that no matter whether he is a prince or a princess, after the age of three, he must wear his own clothes and is not allowed to feed him anything. The wet nurse who breastfed the emperor's eldest son was sent out of the palace directly after the emperor's eldest son was weaned. This is still a large number of children for He Yao. She cannot feed three children by herself.
Even the youngest daughter was brought to Huang Qiong's mother's side to be raised when she was one month old, and she didn't need to breastfeed much. But two children were a bit too much to handle, so two wet nurses were used. For the rest of the princes and princesses, only their mothers have milk, and they don't need a wet nurse. Even if it is used, the child will be given away directly after weaning. For this reason, several princes became seriously ill, and Huang Qiong did not relent.
He Yao set another record, giving birth to three babies in one breath. Although there were only two people left around, He Yao was still very busy. When dealing with specific matters, I rely more on Wu Ziyu. Although Wu Ziyu is smart and capable, there are always things that Wu Ziyu cannot take care of in such a large harem. What's more, privately, many officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Shang Palace Bureau were not very fond of Wu Ziyu.
In fact, He Yao, who is somewhat powerless now, has always wanted Lin Hanyan to participate. But although Lin Hanyan was not as good as these others in the palace, no one dared to look down upon him. But after all, there is no status, and the management is somewhat unjust. Therefore, Lin Hanyan has always been willing to help with ideas from behind, but he is not willing to let her participate in the management of the harem.
After learning about this, Duan Jin, Lin Hanyan and Situ Huanshuang met, and they all thought it was time to clean up the inner palace. The three people who knew He Yao's temperament were a little worried that He Yao would still be merciful this time and just punish him, letting go of this opportunity to kill chickens and scare monkeys. I am even more worried that if I miss this opportunity, those dirty guys may deceive me even more.
That's why Situ Huanshuang took action today. The young prisoner who was executing the execution in the Ministry of Internal Affairs came forward to report that several people had died. After Situ Huanshuang calmed down a little, he said in a cold tone: "These people today are the examples for you. If in the future, there are still people who work together and deceive others, how will Sister He and Sister Wu handle their daily affairs?" I’m so busy that I can’t take care of myself that carefully.”
"Random guesswork. If your master is not favored, you will work together to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates. You will do something to deceive the master. This is what you will end up with. Sister He has a kind temper and has never had the heart to punish slaves severely. . So some people think that they can do whatever they want. Sister He and I have always been one. There are some things that she can’t bear to do, so I will do it for her. "
When Situ Huanshuang said these words, his tone was unusually cold. But among all the eunuchs in charge and the female officials present, none of them dared to look up at the empress. Seeing the scene in front of him, Situ Huanshuang said: "From now on, the daily affairs of the harem will still be handled by Sister He, and Wu Shangqi will cooperate with them. I and Sister He have always been one, and what she means is what I want."
"If there are any of you, you think Sister He has a generous temper. Now she has to take care of the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest princess, so she doesn't have much energy to focus on specific affairs. So she dares to deceive superiors and subordinates, and disobeys Wu Shangqi's discipline. Sister He doesn't If I have the heart to deal with you, then this evil person will be done by me. If anyone again thinks blindly and does something as servile and deceiving as he did today, he will be beaten to death."
When Situ Huanshuang's words fell, He Yao took over Duan Jin's signal and said: "What happened today is to teach you a lesson. When you go back, think carefully about how to serve your master in the future. Gong I know the temperament of the masters in the story, and most of them are kind-hearted. They have never done anything to abuse their slaves, and they have never been harsh on the slaves around them."
"But this does not mean that you can climb on top of the master and dominate. Are the rules in the palace just a blank piece of paper? Or are they only set for the master and have no effect on you? Although there are some rules in the palace now Those who have no status are still His Majesty’s people. Anyone who has served His Majesty is your master. Who allowed you to do this? What happened today must not be repeated in the future.”
In fact, He Yao didn't originally want to say the following sentence. Just thinking about it, these few are not the only ones who have no status in the palace now. Although Lin Hanyan said that no one dared to do anything wrong, there were still a few people including Ouyang. Today, Wu Ziyu told herself that the master yesterday had blessed the two Wen family members again. Now that people from the Guilin County Prince's Palace are being escorted to Beijing again, there may be a few more similar people.
Based on that Lord's preferences, there might be an unknown number of people like the Five Women. If it is not properly rectified, I am afraid that similar things will happen again in the future. At this time, He Yao had completely figured it out. I'm afraid Situ Huanshuang and Duan Jin saw this and took such heavy measures today. I made up for some things I hadn't thought of before.
Although He Yao has a generous temperament, he has been a housekeeper in the British Prince's Palace over the years, and now manages the specific affairs of the palace, and his vision has been really sharpened. What's more, she, Situ Huanshuang and Duan Jin have always been one. Naturally, they will not be dissatisfied because Situ Huanshuang and Duan Jin are in this conflict. Now that she had completely figured it out, she was even a little grateful to Situ Huanshuang.
She knew that this was Situ Huanshuang's negligence before blocking the road for her, and she even made herself a bad person. Although I don't know if this matter was negotiated by a few of them, but it saved a certain face for myself, but it was a real deal. He Yao doesn't even know now that if this happens to someone else, she won't have the shame to continue sitting in the position of the concubine in charge.
He ordered the chamberlain and Wu Ziyu to re-select reliable eunuchs and maids to serve the five daughters. He Yaocai held the hands of Situ Huanshuang, Duan Jin, and Lin Hanyan, and sighed softly: "If it weren't for you today, I would be so embarrassed, and I would be so tired that Shuang'er would do it for me. This evil man. Thanks to the two of you, I can save the last trace of my face."
Hearing He Yao's sigh, Situ Huanshuang smiled and said: "Where did Sister He go? What's the point of saving face? We sisters are all one. If Sister He loses face, we are not the same." Is it? Sister He has taken on so many things for us on weekdays. Sister He is doing all the big and small things in the palace, so what does it mean if I show up just once? "
Situ Huanshuang took a look inside the yard, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "We should stop disturbing you here, and go to my place to discuss how to manage these slaves in the future. I saw that Sister Wu was walking a little bit just now. I feel weak, I guess someone didn't bother her enough and came here. We are here, someone who is not angry should think we are in the way."
With that said, he led He Yao and the others to his bedroom. When the three women heard Situ Huanshuang's words, they looked back at the courtyard where there was no sound at this time. The people inside didn't know what to do anymore, maybe they were already operating. They shook their heads in unison, smiled helplessly, and left with Situ Huanshuang and Wu Ziyu. This place was left to the owners in the courtyard.
In fact, what the departing Situ Huanshuang and others didn't know was that Huang Qiong in the yard did not do anything at this time, but just looked at the five women in front of him with distress. When Situ Huanshuang punished those slaves, Huang Qiong did not come forward. Because in his opinion, this matter was a matter of the harem, and Situ Huanshuang and the others should have taken care of it. If Situ Huanshuang and others don't come forward, he can still say it. But now Situ Huanshuang, who is the master of the harem, He Yao and Duan Jin who are in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and military advisor Lin Hanyan are also here.
At this time, it would be inappropriate for me to come forward. So when those minions were dealt with, Huang Qiong did not show up. Instead, he was comforting the girls inside the house. Regarding this matter, Huang Qiong knew that it was not He Yao and others who deliberately punished the girls. Among the people in charge of the harem now, Situ Huanshuang rarely interferes in specific affairs. Duan Jin is a generous person, and He Yao has always been kind-hearted.
Although the status of the three of them is higher than that of the other concubines, and the three of them have always been one, they can definitely be considered fair in their dealings. As long as their bottom line is not touched, they will not punish anyone in this way. Even Lin Hanyan, the military adviser behind the scenes, and Wu Ziyu, who assisted He Yao in managing the harem affairs, were both kind people by nature, and they would definitely not be able to do such a dirty thing of condoning evil slaves and bullying their masters.
The reason why this happened was that He Yao and Wu Ziyu didn't care enough, or they were really negligent and underestimated the humanity of those eunuchs. Regardless of whether it was the former British Palace or the Xiyuan that was actually the East Palace, they all had the same housekeeper. But whether it is the British Palace or Xiyuan, they are actually two different things from the current situation in the palace and cannot be compared at all.
The affairs in this palace have at least dozens of times more maids and eunuchs, and the complexity is even more complicated. There are also those concubines left behind by the old man, so everything needs to be taken care of. Shuang'er and Duan Jin both have such temperaments that they don't want to worry about anything. The palace relies entirely on He Yao and Wu Ziyu for specific operations. I am afraid that there are some two people who are not very skilled at the same time, and it is normal that some of them cannot take care of it.
But what he didn't understand was that even if these women didn't dare to come to him after being so wronged. He didn't dare to complain to He Yao. Just ask Wu Ziyu, or even Li Hai to say something? These slaves must not have done such evil in one or two days. Why did they remain silent? The Chu family is also a big one, and the women who come out are not the kind who have no knowledge at all.
Especially for the Gao family, I heard that in the original Chu family, although the fifth master Chu was not popular, he was favored by the uncle Chu. She has always been entrusted with the responsibility of housekeeping grandma. How can you suppress such a big family if you don't have any character? Now that he has entered the palace, he is so timid? Even if he had no status, he would definitely not let himself be so wronged.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at the girls and sighed softly: "It's my negligence that has caused you to be wronged. After suffering such a huge grievance, even if you don't come to me, how can Concubine He and Wu Shang I'm not a bad person, so why don't you go find them openly? Even if they are busy with their affairs, they are not unreasonable people. Even if they really can't take care of it, it's not difficult to find me."
"It is true that I come to you less these days. But I also come here to rest in the harem every day. It is not difficult for you to see me. Why bother yourselves so much? Although I usually don't interfere in the affairs of the harem, but I will definitely not wrong my woman too much. Although I haven't given you a title yet, you are still my women."
