Chapter 521 Visiting Concubine Hao
Chapter 521 Visiting Concubine Hao
She dropped a black dot, and her deep eyes were filled with a calm and composed look.
Father Shen's ability to get things done was much better than she had imagined.
This time, the one in Yongshou Palace was demoted, and Concubine Liang regained the power of the six palaces, making her the biggest beneficiary. The Duke Dingguo's Mansion would definitely think that it was the dealer who stirred up the storm in the court.
The Shen family hid in the dark and was safe for the time being.
However... the Zhuang family knew that they were not the ones who did this, so who on earth wanted to stir up a confrontation between the Zhuang family and the Dingguo Mansion?
Concubine Liang and the people from the Zhuang family are not fools, so they naturally think of the Shen family.
But Shen Zhinian was not afraid.
So what if they guessed it? Do they have any evidence?
The banker told this matter to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Not only would the people in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion not believe it, but they would also think that they had bad intentions.
But Shen Zhinian still wants to remind Shen's father to be more careful with the banker these days to avoid any setbacks.
……
Changchun Palace.
Ruoli asked in confusion: "Madam, just now in Yongshou Palace, why didn't you let me tell you what Concubine Shu did to us?"
"In my opinion, you should let His Majesty see the quilt that Concubine Shu asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you."
As she said this, Ruoli took a pair of scissors, cut open the quilt cover, and shook out the low-quality cotton inside.
"This kind of quilt is for the lowest-ranking palace maids, and yet Her Majesty the Concubine sent it to Changchun Palace!"
"As for the charcoal, we also changed it from the best silver charcoal to black charcoal."
"Your Majesty is already dissatisfied with Concubine Shu. If he knew these things, she might not even be able to be Concubine Shu and would be directly demoted to a concubine."
Ruoli really felt that her own queen was too kind. Even though Concubine Shu treated her like that, she was still unwilling to kill her.
Concubine Liang looked at Ruoli and said slowly, "Please forgive others when you can."
"Besides, you are my personal maid. What's the difference between what you said and what I said?"
"Since I have already said that I don't want to care about the things that Concubine Shu has done, wouldn't it be hypocritical to go and complain?"
"Everything is excessive, and now is the best result."
Ruoli lowered his head and said, "Yes..."
Thinking of what happened today, her unhappiness disappeared and she said joyfully, "But fortunately, His Majesty is wise and not only gave you justice, but also made Concubine Shu suffer that fate. God is really merciful!"
"Humph! When Concubine Shu was helping to manage the six palaces, she kept deducting our things. Now that the situation has changed, it's time for her to have a taste of her own medicine!"
"Your Majesty, I will go and tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Concubine Liang frowned tightly: "Don't do this recklessly."
"All the rations of Yongshou Palace should be distributed among the four concubines according to their positions. No deductions should be made, and no inferior goods should be passed off as good ones."
Ruoli curled her lips reluctantly: "My Lady..."
Liang Fei said, "There are so many eyes in the harem. I just gained power, and I treat Shu Fei like this. What do you want others to think? What do you want His Majesty to think?"
"Even if His Majesty hates Concubine Shu, who can guarantee that he has no feelings for her at all?"
"If these things reach your Majesty's ears and arouse your Majesty's pity for Concubine Shu, what should we do?"
Ruoli understood it all at once: "What the Queen taught me is..."
At this time, another palace maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here."
As Concubine Liang walked out, she said, "Let him in."
"Yes."
After entering the flower hall, Chen Yaming raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down and said: "Your servant greets Her Majesty Liang Fei, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Even though she had been deducted so much by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Concubine Liang still looked at the steward with a gentle look: "No need to be so polite."
"Why did you come here today?"
Chen Yaming grabbed the eunuch next to him and slapped him hard on the face: "This eunuch values you, so I let you take charge of the allowances of Changchun Palace a few days ago. You were so bold that you passed off the things given to Concubine Liang as inferior ones and pocketed the money!"
"Thank goodness this eunuch discovered it in time, otherwise how much more money would have been taken away by a dog slave like you?!"
"Hurry up and kowtow to Madam Liang and admit your fault!"
The young eunuch did not dare to refute a word, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I know I am wrong! I know I am wrong!"
"I am so bold, please spare my life, Madam Liang, please have mercy on me! I will never dare to do that again!"
Chen Yaming smiled and said, "Madam Liang Fei, it was all due to my negligence that the people below took advantage of the situation."
"Today, I have sent you the finest quilts, charcoal, tea sets, etc. I hope that Her Majesty the Concubine will be magnanimous and forgive my previous mistakes..."
Ruoli sneered and said sarcastically, "Everyone knows that the master behind the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Concubine Shu."
"How come the Empress Shufei was just demoted and our Empress was reinstated to help manage the six palaces, and you discovered that these things were done by the people below and had nothing to do with you at all?"
"Eunuch Chen is really amazing. He found someone to take the blame so quickly and cleared himself of all blame. Does he think we are all fools?!"
Chen Yaming smiled and said, "Miss Ruoli, you really misunderstood."
"Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to deduct the share of Changchun Palace!"
"It is also my fault for not managing well and not controlling the people below me. No matter how Madam Liang Fei wants to punish me, I have no complaints."
Concubine Liang sat in the main seat, watching Chen Yaming's clumsy performance, but did not expose him. She just said, "I know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is busy, and these things are not Eunuch Chen's fault."
"Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already sent new things over, let's just leave it at that and don't do it again."
Chen Yaming breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Madam Liangfei!"
"Everyone in the palace says that Concubine Liang is like a bodhisattva. Today I finally know that the rumors are true!"
After instructing the eunuchs behind him to put the things away, Chen Yaming bent over and said, "If Madam Liangfei has no other instructions, I will not disturb her."
"Slave, please resign!"
After the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, Ruoli rolled her eyes at their backs: "What a bunch of dog slaves who flatter the powerful and bully the weak. The queen is too lenient with them!"
Little Caizi said, "Sister Ruoli, the power of the six palaces has just returned to the hands of the queen, and there is also a virtuous concubine to assist in managing the six palaces. The queen really should not make a big move against the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time."
"Empress Shufei has lost her power. As her confidant, Eunuch Chen won't be able to stay in power for too long."
"Your Majesty, just wait for the right time and replace the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with one of your own."
Concubine Liang sighed, looked at Ruoli and said, "It was because Concubine Hao spoke for me that she suffered such an unprovoked disaster. Pick some gifts and send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite a doctor. I want to go visit Concubine Hao."
