Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

Chapter 141: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 61

After Wei Yanwan was crowned queen, she and Hongli lived a sweet life together for a while. It was not until Wei Yanwan became impatient that she persuaded him to go to court.

When all the concubines gathered in Yongshou Palace the next day, Wei Yanwan was leisurely dressing up. Only when she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, who looked bright, elegant and noble, did she smile.

"My Lord, all the concubines from the palaces have arrived."

"Got it. Ask someone to serve tea. Don't be negligent."

"Yes."

Wei Yanwan adjusted her Dongzhu earrings, looked at Chunchan with a smile and said, "Chunchan, am I beautiful?"

"The Empress is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Chun Chan's eyes were full of admiration. Who could have known that a little palace maid in the Sizhiku would have such good fortune? Now she has truly changed her status and is no longer the same as before.

Wei Yanwan adjusted her armor and said with a smile, "Let's go."

"The Queen has arrived——"

When Wei Yanwan came out from behind, all the concubines stood up and greeted her. Since there were not many high-ranking concubines in the palace, even the low-ranking concubines came today.

After she sat down leisurely, she smiled and said to them, "Get up."

"Today is the first time you have come to pay respects to me since I was crowned queen. I have a few words to tell you. Following Empress Xiaoxian's example, the palace will reduce the allowances of the main concubines by 40%, the allowances of the noble ladies by 20%, and the allowances of the lower-ranking noble ladies will not be reduced for their daily needs."

"If you need anything extra, you can make up for it yourself. I will inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs and list all the money. Every expense must be clearly written down. If anyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not doing their job well, you can tell me."

"If the concubine of the main position withholds the salary of the palace servants, I will punish them severely."

Then Wei Yanwan watched them stand up and pay their respects. After all, Wei Yanwan had already started doing this in the past two years. Apart from the commotion in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the beginning, there was nothing wrong with it.

There were many concubines of low rank who didn't have much to begin with. If they were laid off, wouldn't they be left with nothing? Wei Yanwan also asked someone to make a simple form for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in which all expenses had to be recorded in detail.

She would never tolerate any more deception of one egg and five taels of silver.

On this day, Wei Yanwan was looking at the account books in the palace when Chunchan came in and said to her, "Your Majesty, Li Yu from Concubine Xian's palace wants to see you."

"Oh? Ask him to come in."

Wei Yanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. The harem was indeed quite quiet during this period of time. She didn't know what Qingying was doing.

She straightened her posture, sat upright and watched Li Yu bow and come in.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"What does Concubine Xian want you to report?"

Wei Yanwan was now extremely majestic like an empress, and Li Yu did not dare to look directly at her. He knelt down and said to her, "Your Majesty, our queen saw a slave being punished on the street, and she could not bear it, so she thought of letting her serve in the Yanxi Palace."

Wei Yanwan raised her eyebrows. She had waited for so long but didn't see Ruyi find a new palace maid, so she thought Rong Pei would never appear again. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, she ended up in front of Concubine Xian again.

"Oh? In that case, then you should serve in Concubine Xian's palace. Why were you punished?"

"Uh... they say he offended the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he was punished."

Wei Yanwan smiled and still had the leisure to ask, "Oh? Since she is so unstable, what does Concubine Xian like about her?"

"Although Rong Pei is defiant, she is also sincere. Concubine Xian can't bear to see her suffer so much, so she wants to recruit her."

After seeing Li Yu's embarrassment, Wei Yanwan nodded and agreed: "In this case, let Concubine Xian teach her well. The palace rules are strict. If I see her committing the same offense again in the future, I will not let her off easily."

Ever since she became the queen, even the queen mother had been impressed by her good management of the harem. Under her management, the harem system was complete, and there were fewer people who privately whipped the palace maids for fun.

The concubines saw that they had no chance to see the emperor, and they all seemed to have accepted their fate. They just lived in the harem with their allowance, or held a small party with their close sisters.

The reason why Hongli did not enter the harem was that he had indeed focused on state affairs these days. In addition, when he wanted to relax, there was a great beauty like Wei Yanwan waiting for him in the Yangxin Palace. He didn't know how happy those days would be.

Wei Yanwan is now the Queen, and the Emperor and the Queen naturally have a loving relationship. In addition, the Queen has Han blood, so she naturally attracts their attention.

The Han ministers finally had a queen. Although she was recorded on the Manchu military flag by the emperor, she was ultimately a bloodline, and no one could change the fact that she was the first Han queen.

Zhang Tingyu, who used to like to meddle in the affairs of the harem, has lost this interest now. He only says that the emperor and empress are deeply in love, and naturally it is a time of stability in the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, the emperor is now in his prime, and there is no rush for those things. Who would be so blind as to offend the emperor?

Are they dissatisfied that not enough people have been dismissed and investigated before?

The days passed one by one, and soon Hongli would begin his southern tour. This time he brought all the people in the harem to have fun together and go to the south of the Yangtze River.

Since they already knew about the southern tour, Wei Yanwan, as the Empress, quickly convened a meeting of concubines to tell them about this.

After she became the queen, she didn't want to see them every day and wanted to be lazy, so she only asked them to pay their respects to her on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Then he went directly from Yongshou Palace to Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

After the empress dowager knew about this, she didn't say much. She had grown old and her health was not very good these years, so she had been living in seclusion in the Cining Palace for many years and did not get involved in the affairs of the harem.

Wei Yanwan was filial but also knew her limits, so she was generous in showing respect to the empress dowager. Whenever she got something good, she would give some to her. Over time, the empress dowager saw through Wei Yanwan's temper.

At first, I was really fooled by her pretending to be stupid and obedient, but looking at her now, she is considerate in every way.

Since she didn't suffer any loss, she didn't say anything. After all, her child had found a home. Although the current situation was not ideal, it was still pretty good.

I don’t know if it’s because Wei Yanwan has the emperor’s guidance, but the two of them have become more and more alike over the years, and their style of doing things is actually the same.

When Yongqi came back from school, he first went to the Yangxin Palace to pay his respects to his father, then went to the back hall to pay his respects to Wei Yanwan, and then went to see his sister.

Wei Yanwan sat on the kang and watched the interaction between the brother and sister. The two of them were talking about completely unrelated things, but they were enjoying themselves.
