Yun Mengqi looked at the Zhong Miao Yi who was lowering her head and reading the book, and said softly: "Even chenqie has times where she can't handle it by herself. Other than chenqie, the only one in the palace who has the highest score is Yun Concubine, and she has also served the emperor for the longest period of time.
Zhong Miao Yi was a little confused at being called out suddenly, and then she understood what Yun Mengqi meant.
She frowned, not wanting to get involved in this.
"What do you think?" Su Zeyi glanced at Yun Mengqi, then turned his head and asked Zhong Miao Yi.
Zhong Miao Yi was in a bit of a difficult situation as she stood up, "Chenqie. Before coming into contact with these, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help the empress. "
Yun Mengqi hurriedly replied, "It's definitely going to be the first time. You should at least learn something, right, your majesty the emperor?"
Su Zeyi felt that Yun Mengqi's words were reasonable, he had intended for the Zhong Miao Yi to learn about managing the harem, "What the Empress says is reasonable, you should just learn from her, if you really don't understand, we can talk about it later."
"But …" Zhong Miao Yi frowned, what could she learn about this?
"You are so smart, you can't possibly not learn it." Su Zeyi smiled and gave her a comforting look, reassuring his.
Forget it, Su Zeyi had already said that. She could not stop not giving him face, so he could only sigh and nod: "Then we'll follow your majesty."
Yun Mengqi had achieved her goal this time and even dragged the Zhong Miao Yi down along with him. She was very happy in her heart.
"With the help of my concubine Yun's assistance, chenqie is more confident." Yun Mengqi laughed, she did not express any hostility towards Zhong Miao Yi, but at least she was obedient in front of him.
In this aspect, Su Zeyi was very satisfied. He just hoped that Yun Mengqi could treat Zhong Miao Yi a little better, and now that Yun Mengqi had such thoughts and practices, he already had a good impression of Yun Mengqi in his heart.
Zhong Miao Yi knew that all of these were Yun Mengqi's pretense in front of Su Zeyi, but she did not reveal it to him.
When Yun Mengqi left, she also wore the Zhong Miao Yi along with him, saying that since she had already made up her mind, she would start preparing, so she wanted the Zhong Miao Yi to familiarize with the process as well.
The Zhong Miao Yi did not refute him and followed Yun Mengqi.
The two of them rarely had the chance to walk together like this. Zhong Miao Yi followed Yun Mengqi but they did not speak a word throughout the journey.
When they were almost at Legitimate Wife, Yun Mengqi finally spoke: "Do you know why I asked you to help me?"
Zhong Miao Yi looked at Yun Mengqi's face and shook her head.
"Zhou Xu, this child has given you a headache, right?" Yun Mengqi asked with a smile on her face.
"What does the empress want to say?" Zhong Miao Yi did not accept her words. She knew what Yun Mengqi wanted to say, but. She would not join hands with Yun Mengqi.
"You sure are magnanimous. I really love that child of yours when I look at you. What? Aren't you worried about his future?" Yun Mengqi continued to probe.
"The future is his own, and he decides it. I can't make any decisions for him."
After Zhong Miao Yi had finished speaking, she bowed towards Yun Mengqi. "If you have no other orders, esteemed Empress, then chenqie will take her leave first."
"Halt." Yun Mengqi called out to the Zhong Miao Yi and took a deep breath. "I'll go back and report this to Esteemed Empress Dowager later. Come over to the Legitimate Wife after dinner.
Zhong Miao Yi nodded her head and agreed.
After the Zhong Miao Yi had left, Bao`er asked, "The Empress knows very well that the Cloud Concubine will not agree, so why are you asking me this question?"
Yun Mengqi sighed, "I don't know, I'm very confused. Forget it, let's go to the empress dowager first."
Empress Dowager Xi and East Empress Dowager were discussing about Zhou Xu's child together. At their age, excluding their family, the most important thing was that they liked their child the most.
Having a grandson to show his filial piety was the happiest thing in the world.
When Yun Mengqi came, Empress Dowager Xi was planning to send some more things to Zhou Fu when she heard that Yun Mengqi had arrived. She waved her hand, "It's good that you're here, come to This Dowager's place."
Empress Dowager Xi pulled Yun Mengqi over, pointed at the items on the list and asked, "Look, do you want these things?"
Empress Dowager Xi was still thinking about Yun Mengqi. "You suffered losses before, so you should make up for it as soon as possible. Give birth to a grandson for This Dowager. "
Yun Mengqi's face immediately flushed red. "Where did the empress dowager say that?
Her expression made both emperors laugh.
"Empress Dowager, chenqie came because I have something to tell the empress dowager." Yun Mengqi said in a spoiled manner, as if she was back in the past.
Empress Dowager Xi put down the things in her hands and asked softly, "What is it?"
"Chenqie asked the Emperor, saying that it was to celebrate for Imperial Consort X, and the Emperor has already agreed. Chenqie asked Yunshu to help her prepare this matter, and I've already seen it. Ten days from now, it will be a good day." After Yun Mengqi finished speaking, she laughed, "When the time comes, everyone will be happy together. After all, she is the first child of the palace.
Empress Dowager Xi nodded, but made no comment. "Celebrating is naturally not a problem. "But can a concubine do this kind of thing well?"
Yun Mengqi laughed: "Chenqie will do her best to teach her. I presume there won't be any big problems."
Once Yun Mengqi said that, Empress Dowager Xi understood the meaning behind her words. She narrowed her eyes and pointed out, "Then you still have to be careful, understand?"
Yun Mengqi nodded her head and stood up. "Chenqie understands, there are countless of things that need to be done. From where I started, chenqie still needs to go and take care of it, so I won't disturb the empress dowager anymore."
Empress Dowager Xi nodded slightly and sent Yun Mengqi out.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for a concubine to do the same?" East Empress Dowager listened for a long time. After Yun Mengqi left, she asked slowly.
Empress Dowager Xi picked up the list again and looked at it. "Whether it's appropriate or not, it's all a matter of young people like them. This Dowager and you are old, so it doesn't matter. In a few years, This Dowager and you will both be gone. Just let them go. "
In the palace, it was not easy to survive, but one had to put forth all of their strength.
Zhong Miao Yi's status was lower than others by a level, which meant that she was destined to suffer even more pain and suffering than others.
If she could adapt, then she could live. The harem had always been cruel, and the empress dowager was a former victor, hence no matter how Yun Mengqi had tortured her, she didn't want to interfere in her plans. At most, she would stop there.
