The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 130 Your Majesty

Qin Liuse asked this question suddenly. Concubine Zhang was slightly startled. She looked at the maid's back as she walked away, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Sister, you know, I was originally a servant, so there is no such thing as a maid."

Concubine Zhang was a servant kept by Mr. Meng. She entered the palace to serve others, and of course she was not destined to be served.

It was only after she was favored by Emperor Yongjia and Baolin was promoted that she was assigned maids to serve her.

Originally, she had only two maids. Later, when she became pregnant and had problems, Emperor Yongjia directly promoted her to be a concubine and brought her to Concubine Dong's palace. Concubine Dong found that she had only two maids and thought it was too shabby, so she added a few more for her.

"Before the second prince was born, during the period of pregnancy, people often came to care for her, bringing her food and supplements, and also sending her people."

Qin Liuse had reminded Concubine Zhang that eating too much tonic food would make it difficult to conceive, so she took those tonic foods but used them sparingly.

But those people were sent by high-ranking concubines, just like those objects, she couldn't refuse.

Even if she accepted it, she couldn't pretend to be dumb, so there were many people in this yard who were sent by others. Concubine Zhang knew in her heart that most of these people were spies.

Qin Liuse thought deeper and darker.

The Second Prince's sudden fever this time was due to natural causes, but this does not rule out the possibility that other people might have played a role.

But Qin Liuse did not speak directly, but only reminded her, "The one in front of you is not your own, so you will not be comfortable with him. You have to keep an eye on him and do everything yourself. When new maids come into the palace next year, I will arrange a few clean maids for you."

When Concubine Zhang heard this, she was shocked. She had thought that someone else might harm her child, but when Qin Liuse mentioned it like this, she naturally became more worried.

But she also knew that Qin Liuse was doing this for her own good. Her eyes drooped like a waning moon, full of worry. "They say that the harem is like a deep well. I've been thinking about it. I've been with him day and night for the past two days. Except for the time when I took a bath and went to the toilet, the Second Prince was always under my watch."

Qin Liuse smiled and said, "The Second Prince has always been blessed. I am just reminding my sister."

As they were talking, a maid came in with mung bean soup. Qin Liuse stopped talking and just fanned herself with a bamboo fan, watching the maid put the bowls and plates in place with a smile on her face.

After the servants left, Qin Liuse continued what she had just said, "You must be on guard against others. Sister, you must learn to use both kindness and severity, and not just be a good person."

Zhang Jieyu had just come out of confinement and did not eat the cold mung bean soup, but only ate some bird's nest and fish porridge. Although there was a wet nurse, she was reluctant to breastfeed the baby herself.

After hearing what Qin Liuse said, Concubine Zhang understood in her heart that she was indeed too kind to the people in the palace because of her humble background.

After coming out of Concubine Zhang's palace, Qin Liuse walked back to Shu Yuexuan.

In fact, what Qin Liuse said just now was more than just a reminder to Concubine Zhang.

When talking with Concubine Zhang, Qin Liuse was also thinking about herself.

She reminded Concubine Zhang that she didn't look down on her or dislike her for being too weak.

It is not easy to control subordinates.

Neither letting things go nor implying pressure can be achieved overnight.

Moreover, there are many servants in the palace, and sometimes the masters themselves are blind and don’t understand the connections behind the servants, so it is not easy to deal with them.

Although she is kind to others and will punish anyone who offends her, Qin Liuse admits that she still needs to improve herself in this regard.

But now that she is the person in charge, there are naturally plenty of opportunities for her to gain experience.

After having lunch at Shuyuexuan at noon, Qin Liuse rested for a while before going to Concubine Li’s Yuxiu Palace.

These days are the time when Concubine Li is living a quiet life, so she will not show up for matters that she can decide.

Qin Liuse met several palace ladies in Yuxiu Palace. After the palace ladies left, Liu Qiuniang and Wang Leyao came to Yuxiu Palace.

After the two of them greeted each other, Concubine Li came out and talked to Qin Liuse about sending a birthday gift to Concubine Xiao De tomorrow.

Since Concubine Li was on the letter period, she naturally couldn't go with Qin Liuse. Seeing Liu Qiuniang and Wang Leyao there, she asked them to go with Qin Liuse tomorrow.

Concubine Li believed that sending birthday gifts would be more lively and popular if there were more people present. Qin Liuse had originally planned to go by herself, but hearing this, it made sense to make the party lively, so she agreed.

Wang Leyao was the first to agree, and she seemed very interested. Liu Qiuniang only said "OK" after she agreed.

When the two of them left Yuxiu Palace, they seemed to have not yet digested the news.

Wang Leyao didn't expect to get this opportunity here today. She was not favored, so she would show up whenever possible. Although she knew that the emperor would not go, it was great to have a good relationship with these high-ranking concubines.

Liu Qiuniang was different. She hadn't digested it and felt that it was not a good thing.

Concubine Xiao De is not favored, so what's the point of all these earnest offers?

Wang Leyao rolled her eyes and said, "Who says it's not true? But since the higher-ups have given the order, we naturally have no choice but to obey."

With the opening and closing of his thin lips, he changed his thoughts one by one. These words penetrated deeply into Liu Qiuniang's heart. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that Qin Liuse was just looking for trouble for them.

On the second day, Qin Liuse went to Yuxiu Palace and waited for Concubine Li's maid and the people from the Shang Palace Bureau to bring over the gifts.

Wang Leyao showed up, but Liu Qiuniang was nowhere to be seen.
