Chapter 84 Consort Fucha's Reprimand
When Su Peisheng delivered the reward to Yanxi Palace, Fucha Peiyun was very puzzled.
How come it was Consort Jing who was pregnant, yet she was the one who received the reward? It's truly like sitting in the palace and receiving a reward from heaven.
But it's obvious that Consort Jing must have said something, otherwise the chubby orange wouldn't have suddenly given her a reward.
Consort Jing knew how to reciprocate kindness, which made her even more satisfied with Consort Jing.
This proves that she was right in her judgment and did not recruit the wrong person.
After accepting the reward with a smile, Fucha Peiyun then instructed Ye'er to give Su Peisheng a purse as a reward.
"Keep the news of Consort Jing's pregnancy a secret, and don't openly send over the nannies she needs."
"Consort Xin and Consort Jin are also pregnant. Arrange for some reliable people to go over there to prevent any mishaps."
Su Peisheng respectfully agreed, and waited for Ye'er to bring the purse over.
Fucha Peiyun handed the purse to Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng accepted the gift with profuse thanks, and withdrew while saying auspicious words.
Fucha Peiyun turned around and went back into the house, where she sat on the couch and pondered deeply.
The first person the Empress targeted after lifting the ban was her; besides Consort Qi, she was the only one in the harem with a son.
She is now the Empress's number one enemy. Although Consort Hua holds a high rank, she has no children.
As long as Consort Hua has no children, her threat will be small.
Unfortunately, the current Consort Hua would never agree to have a child with the chubby orange.
She herself was not afraid of the Empress's methods, but Hongchang, a mere child with no ability to protect himself, was not.
Fortunately, she wasn't completely unprepared.
She asked Ye'er to summon all the palace servants of Yanxi Palace.
Before long, Ye'er arrived in the room with a group of palace servants.
Snow, Willow, Rain, Frost
Xiao Zhuangzi, Xiao Huzi, Xiao Zhuzi, Xiao Shuangzi
Granny Wang, Granny Li
There were also some palace maids and eunuchs responsible for sweeping and cleaning.
Fucha Peiyun's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and she said in a steady voice:
"I have summoned you all here today because there are some things I need to tell you."
Although our Yanxi Palace looks magnificent now, it is actually the most powerful place in the entire palace.
Everyone lowered their heads to listen.
"Why, do you know?"
"Your Majesty, it's because our Yanxi Palace has the Sixth Prince."
A young eunuch stepped forward, and Fucha Peiyun recognized him.
Because this young eunuch had a pair of very prominent and handsome tiger-like penises, Fucha Peiyun renamed him Little Tiger.
Fucha Peiyun nodded, "Little Tiger is right."
Fucha Peiyun paused for a moment and then continued:
"Because I have children, which is both the greatest asset and the greatest danger in the harem."
The Empress sees me as a thorn in her side, and the other concubines may well want to see me fall from power as well.
The palace servants looked worried.
Fucha Peiyun smiled gently.
"However, you need not worry or be overly afraid. Since I was able to give birth to a prince smoothly,"
Naturally, there are ways to deal with various situations and ensure the safety of oneself and the princes.
"I'm sure some of you here have already witnessed my methods!"
Her gaze swept over everyone present, her eyes flashing with confidence and authority.
Then, Fucha Peiyun turned her gaze to Xue'er and the other maids, and said slowly:
"Ye'er will continue to serve as my personal maid."
Meanwhile, Granny Li continued to be responsible for teaching and managing other palace servants.
As for Xue'er and Yu'er, although they are both my personal maids,
However, he was still responsible for collecting intelligence and tidbits from the various palaces on a regular basis.
Then, she turned her gaze to Xiao Zhuangzi and Xiao Zhuzi standing to the side and solemnly announced:
"From now on, Xiao Zhuangzi will be the head eunuch of Yanxi Palace, in charge of many affairs in the palace."
Xiao Zhuzi then assisted him in his work as his deputy.
All the complex matters, big and small, and the security issues within the palace are to be handled by the two of you.
We must not let our guard down!
Immediately afterwards, Fucha Peiyun turned to look at Wang Mama and the others on the other side and gave them instructions:
"Granny Wang is skilled in medicine. She must take good care of my health and that of the young prince in the future."
And Shuang'er, Liu'er, Xiao Huzi, and Xiao Shuangzi, from today onwards, you will be specifically responsible for serving the young prince closely.
Regarding any subtle changes that occur around Hongchang
Even the slightest rustling of the wind must not be missed.
Especially when encountering suspicious food of unknown origin or suspicious-looking people trying to approach,
Even at the risk of offending those high-ranking concubines,
You must also stop them without hesitation and report the truth to me immediately! Do you understand?
The servants responded in unison, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our utmost."
Fucha Peiyun nodded slightly.
"Do not slack off on the things I previously instructed you to learn!"
You need to spend more time learning and practicing.
Especially those of you who serve Hongchang, like Liu'er and Xiaohuzi, need to be extra vigilant.
Hongchang is still very young. Children in the palace are too fragile, and they may encounter misfortune if they are not careful.
Accidents, illnesses, and even the slightest negligence can lead to irreversible consequences.
You absolutely must not let your guard down.
Of course, no one else can relax; new palace maids and eunuchs will be brought into Yanxi Palace in the future.
You should also teach your skills to others.
Don't worry about passing on your skills and starving as a master craftsman, with newcomers taking your jobs.
You don't need to worry about that at all. As long as you enter my Yanxi Palace...
Those are our own people, and I will not mistreat my own people.
"If you fall ill, I will have people treat you; if you die of old age, someone will take care of you and bury you in your old age, understand?"
The lives of servants in the palace are not even considered life; if they get sick or injured, they often end up with nothing more than a straw mat!
Where else can you find a queen who cares for her servants like this?
All the servants prostrated themselves on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, and said:
"Your Majesty's great kindness will be repaid by our servants with our lives."
We servants will not dare to be negligent in the slightest and will fulfill our duties to the utmost.
Fucha Peiyun waved her hand, "Get up, everyone."
I know that if life were easy, who would want to serve others?
Life in the palace may seem glamorous, but it's actually a place where people are devoured without a trace.
But as long as you are loyal to me, I will protect you.
Now that we are here in Yanxi Palace, we must work together with one heart and one mind.
Finally, she looked at everyone with a determined gaze.
"The safety of me and Prince Hongchang rests on your shoulders."
If everything goes smoothly, I will certainly not treat everyone unfairly.
The crowd shouted in unison again, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we servants will do our utmost."
Fucha Peiyun's gaze slowly swept over the crowd before her, and she spoke in a gentle yet authoritative tone:
"I have seen all your hard work and efforts these past few days."
Within my Yanxi Palace, merit is always rewarded and demerit is always punished; I will never show favoritism to any side.
Having said that, she turned to look at Ye'er beside her and instructed her:
"Ye'er, go and fetch my silver box."
Ye'er responded obediently, then turned and gracefully stepped into the inner room.
Before long, she emerged, carefully holding a delicate silver trinket in both hands.
He then respectfully handed it to Fucha Peiyun.
Fucha Peiyun gracefully accepted the silver box and gently opened it.
In an instant, a flash of silver light came into everyone's view; it turned out that the silver container was filled with loose silver coins.
She nodded first, then smiled at Ye'er, Xue'er, Granny Wang, and Granny Li and said:
"Ye'er, Xue'er, Granny Wang, Granny Li,"
You have been very efficient in your work these days, doing your best to share my burdens and solve my problems.
Therefore, I hereby bestow upon each of you ten taels of silver. I hope you will continue to maintain this diligence and dedication in the future.”
Upon hearing this, the four men's faces lit up with joy, and they quickly knelt down, expressing their gratitude in unison:
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness! This is simply our duty."
"To receive such favor from Her Majesty is truly the greatest honor of our lives."
Fucha Peiyun nodded slightly, indicating her approval of their attitude, then turned her gaze to the other servants present and said slowly:
"As for the rest of the group, although they did not make any significant contributions,
However, their dedication to their posts and their respective duties are equally commendable.
Therefore, I have decided to bestow upon each of you five taels of silver as a token of my appreciation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of joyful shouts erupted from the crowd.
Everyone kowtowed in gratitude, shouting in unison:
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty and the young prince have everything they desire!"
Fucha Peiyun said, "Alright, everyone go and get back to work."
After receiving their rewards, everyone went off to do their own thing in high spirits.
After leaving Consort Jing's Xianfu Palace, the chubby orange tree was still worried about the Empress.
He has very few children; he cannot afford to let the Empress squander them any longer.
After the Empress's confinement was lifted, who knew she wouldn't then turn to Consort Shu's sixth son?
They even targeted Consort Jing's belly.
With that in mind, the chubby orange decided to personally go to Jingren Palace to give the Empress a warning.
Throughout the journey, the chubby orange-faced man's expression was ashen, as if water could drip from it.
Su Peisheng followed closely behind, not daring to utter a sound.
When he arrived at Jingren Palace, he found that it looked much more desolate than before.
But the empress is still the empress.
Although she was confined to her quarters, as long as she remained Empress, no one dared to act too recklessly.
Besides, she also has the Empress Dowager backing her up.
When the Empress heard that the Emperor was coming to Jingren Palace, her heart, which had long since died, was instantly rekindled with hope.
She hurriedly had Huichun dress up carefully, and then got up in a panic to greet the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you have finally deigned to visit me!"
The Empress had a big smile on her face.
Big Fat Orange looked up and saw that the Empress in front of him was noticeably thinner and more haggard than before.
Seeing the Empress in this state, his heart softened slightly.
After all, they had been married for many years.
The chubby orange cat felt a pang of sympathy when it saw the queen, who had become much thinner and more haggard.
After all, they had been married for many years.
But thinking about what she did...
He hardened his heart again.
The chubby orange cat walked inside with a sullen face, followed closely by the Empress.
Seeing the chubby orange cat's expression, the Empress knew that the Emperor hadn't come to see her.
But she was also happy, though she was also worried.
However, whatever the emperor wants to say, it's better than being confined to the house.
The big, fat orange cat walked into the hall and slowly sat down.
The Empress hurriedly ordered the palace maids to serve tea, but her eyes never left the big, fat orange.
