Imperial Lower Consort Zheng was scolded by the Emperor at Kunning Palace and came out crying.

The news travelled faster than the wind, and the people here were still wondering how the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng was scolded by the emperor just because someone was the last consort to go to the Kunning Palace first. In a while, Zhang Cheng arrived with his Majesty's imperial edict.

His concubine looked at the embryonic Kunning Palace schedule after a long argument, and said with a sigh, "This is useless work."

"Why is His Majesty so angry?" Some people were puzzled.

"The empress does not like the smell of spices, especially the rich fragrance. It would be strange if His Majesty did not lose his temper from the smell of the fragrance that the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng is emitting today." Imperial Lower Consort Liu and Imperial Lower Consort Yang had left long ago if they did not participate in this kind of discussion. Here, only Imperial Noble Lady Yu could figure it out in the blink of an eye.

"empress doesn't like the smell of spices?" His concubines who had entered the palace this year were listening attentively. They had just entered the palace, so they were still clueless about the empress's preferences.

The Imperial Lower Consort Lan stood up and said, "Since Your Majesty has already made his decision, then let's disperse. Even the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng has been scolded by her majesty. I don't dare to go and touch her forehead with my Kunning Palace. "

When the Imperial Lower Consort Lan took the lead and left, the rest of the people also dispersed. Their hearts were still beating with excitement, but when they returned to the palace, they would send the palace maid out to investigate. All sorts of inquiries, including empress's preferences, disgusted her.

When Imperial Lower Consort Zheng returned to the palace, she was still absent-minded. palace maid helped her change her clothes and said with extreme worry, "Empress."

"Go, call the Imperial Noble Lady Yu over." The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said.

Zhou Yuting hurried over, "Why has the Empress called me here?"

"You don't know what happened to me?" Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked.

Zhou Yuting paused for a moment, "I only know that the Empress will be returning to the palace soon after she stays at the Kunning Palace."

"empress doesn't like incense, do you know that?" Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked.

Zhou Yuting still nodded hesitantly, "However, Empress never cared whether we smoked or not. "Sometimes, the Empress would also praise the scent of the empress's wife for being so fragrant."

"Did empress say anything about the incense on the Empress's body?" Zhou Yuting asked as if she didn't know anything.

The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng shook his head, "Your Majesty has come. If you want to get along with empress, I'll have to come back first."

"Empress, how much longer does Your Majesty want to stay at Kunning Palace?" Zhou Yuting asked tentatively.

"How would I know that His Majesty would speak to me in front of the empress?" Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said, "Tell me about whatever other pleasures empress has."

"empress is a very easy person to get along with." Zhou Yuting said, "We have never forced her personal likes and dislikes onto us, so we do not have much consideration for the empress, and are not sensitive to the's likes and dislikes. It's just that we cannot take the Empress's bottom line, but we can only take one path.

"As for the other concubines, their preferences will depend on how sensitive they are."

"Speaking of which, we don't have much of a chance to get along with empress. We only have to pay our respects for a short period of time every day because empress still has to rush to the Tzu'an Palace to pay our respects. We can't even say a few words."

"The Empress usually sets up small banquets, but during the banquets, the Empress only watches songs and dances, and does not chat with us often." Zhou Yuting said, "If you were to talk about empress, other than Imperial Lower Consort Liu and Imperial Lower Consort Lan, she is the only one who knows about it."

"Beauty Wang?" The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked, "Speaking of which, it's strange, the Beauty Wang is much more beautiful than the empress. For the same period of time, why did the Emperor choose the Empress as his successor while the Beauty Wang is just a beauty?"

"How could we have guessed what His Majesty was thinking?" Zhou Yuting said, "During the early stages of the talent competition, the Beauty Wang gave out more information than the Queen, it's just that after the Beauty Wang heard the fake news that the Imperial Consort Guo sent people to spread, gave out dance during the banquet, and dressed up as a Persian, provoking the reprimand from the Emperor.

"In that period of time, Imperial Consort Candidate was the first to serve him. In Gonghou Garden, the emperor carried her back to Chuxiu Palace and set up Beauty Wang. At that time, everyone guessed that His Majesty liked the Beauty Wang. "

"However, after he passed away from Beauty Wang's favor, everyone came back to their senses. I'm afraid that when he used his Gonghou Garden, Beauty Wang used some method to make her Majesty favor her. That's why her Majesty is so disgusted with him." Zhou Yuting said.

"This Empress is currently in the middle of the palace, and she didn't even mention giving her sister points?" The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked, "A beauty is really a little low."

"This Beauty Wang is the Empress's little sister, but she's actually half a father and half a mother." Zhou Yuting said, "So that's why the Empress did not mention the position of Beauty Wang. Everyone understood that the Empress died young, and had a stepmother since she was young. Just like how once there was a rumor that the Beauty Wang was as beautiful as a fairy and that the Empress had no salt, and that the empress was not as beautiful as the Beauty Wang, how could there be no salt at all?

"So that's how it is." The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said, "Why are the Imperial Lower Consort Liu and the Imperial Lower Consort Yang so close to the Empress?"

"Imperial Lower Consort Liu and Imperial Lower Consort Yang are people who shared a room with the Empress during the selection period. It's normal for their relationship to be good." Zhou Yuting said, "empress is a person who knows her old friend, Imperial Lower Consort Liu and Imperial Lower Consort Yang are lucky. If not for the fact that they had a good relationship with the empress, they would not have entered into the final three and would not have been given the title of concubines. "

"She has just been given the title of a concubine?" Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said disdainfully.

"His Majesty's ranking card was pretty tight previously, and that's Imperial Consort Guo. His Majesty's favorite concubine before, the Empress entered the palace, but she was only promoted by one level. She became a Imperial Consort Guo without even a title." Zhou Yuting said, "It is this time that Her Majesty has sealed nine concubines in one day, and only the imperial concubines and Imperial Lower Consort Lan have a title, and the imperial concubine is the first woman of the Emperor. The Imperial Lower Consort Lan had bore the son of the Emperor but had accidentally lost it, if not, she would also have been a concubine with a title above the Imperial Consort Guo."

"I don't know any of that." In the past, she was still too careless and focused all of her attention on the love and care of the Emperor. As long as she had the love of the Emperor, she would never know what the twists and turns of the imperial harem had to do with her. However, today, His Majesty's rage had frightened her. His Majesty's favor would not have changed. If one day His Majesty stopped pampering her, what should she do? She looked at Zhou Yuting, "Tell me more."

When they paid their respects the next day, Wang Rong told the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng in a warm tone. I really did not know that His Majesty would have such a huge reaction.

"The concubines aren't wronged." The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said, "His Majesty is right. The Empress doesn't like incense, and her concubine even has such a strong aroma. It's clear that she isn't sincere."

"But esteemed wangfei, this concubine did not do it on purpose. If concubine knew that the Empress did not like the smell of incense, she would wash her lead and then serve the Empress."

"It's not that I don't like incense." Wang Rong Yun said. It's just that I don't like the rich fragrance, nor do I like the mixed flavors of all sorts of scents. "

"If all of you are afraid that I would stop using incense, then wouldn't it be boring if there wasn't even the slightest bit of incense in His Majesty's harem?" Wang Rong said with a smile.

"His Majesty was right when he said that we would go to the Kunning Palace to serve the Empress." The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said, "After your concubine has learned the song and dance skills, go to the Kunning Palace to help the Empress vent her boredom."

"Of course." Wang Rong said with a smile, "However, I'm afraid that we have to wait for His Majesty to leave. Otherwise, His Majesty would be angry when I don't even have the time to defend you."

"Your Majesty has misunderstood that the reason you have come to Kunning Palace is not for me, but for your Majesty." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like this kind of stuff."

"If empress feels bored, we can call his concubine over to chat and relieve her boredom. His concubine is incompetent, so we can't do anything for the Empress." The Imperial Lower Consort Yang said.

"You guys have done a lot for me." Wang Rong He said, "I want to go and advise my mother. When my stomach is too big, I will lose all my energy and will be unable to manage the palace. I will choose a few concubines to assist my mother and take charge of the palace."

"Empress." The Imperial Lower Consort Liu asked in shock.

She did not like him being pregnant and having to take charge of all kinds of trifling matters. Furthermore, since the emperor had said that he wanted to take her to Ying Tai to take her out in the summer, then she would need someone to take care of her when she was not in the harem. Since the empress dowager had handed over the power of the palace, there was no reason for her to return it. At most, she could slip out a few concubines from the imperial harem to supervise and assist her.

The later concubine immediately became enthusiastic again. Being in charge of the palace had many benefits. The palace head definitely wanted a high ranking imperial concubine. There was only one imperial concubine, and there were more than ten concubines. As for who the Empress chose, there were many that could be manipulated.

When Wang Rong and the empress dowager went to Ci'an Palace to say these words, the empress dowager was also surprised. The Empress Dowager Chen said, "This is too early.

"Being in charge of the palace is no easy task. After entering the palace for two years, I have been in charge of palace affairs and trembling with fear of doing anything inappropriate." Now, you have to choose people to take charge of the palace affairs for me. If you don't pick them earlier, how can you expect them to teach you? " Wang Rong He said, "Even though I have mother mother by my side supervising and assisting them, they learn a little faster. Mother and mother also need to work a little less hard. I also feel a bit more apologetic in my heart."

Empress Dowager Li said, "It's good for you to prepare for a rainy day, but right now, the rank of the imperial concubine is not high. Who are you going to choose?"

"According to the rank, of course the Imperial Consort Guo is one." Amongst the rest, your concubine has been in the palace the longest, and is also the most familiar with the affairs of the palace. There should be her, with her talent and intelligence, and her meticulous heart, making her a good candidate to manage the affairs of the palace. There is also a person whom your son cannot decide between the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng and the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng.

"Imperial Lower Consort Lan." Empress Dowager Li said, "She has experience, so she should be more calm. Imperial Lower Consort Zheng is too flamboyant, the Queen has to suppress her."

"It's entirely up to mother." Wang Rong He said. This response made Empress Dowager Li feel at ease.

Zhu Yijun was not surprised that Wang Rong He wanted to bring up a few concubines to help her manage the palace affairs, he only said to Wang Rong He, "You are really not greedy for power, you really view power as dirt."

"I'm greedy." Wang Ronghe said, "If I were not a queen now, I would hold on to anything in my hands. Just because I'm a queen and I've only found a few people to help me with the palace affairs, the master of the harem is still me. Will His Majesty reduce his control over the government because of the increase in officials? "

"Why do you want to compare yourself with me everywhere?" Zhu Yijun laughed. "Is the empress like you more difficult than the Son of Heaven, me?"

"Take Your Majesty for example. Your Majesty can understand my actions." Wang Rong He said. The empress's palace was only a small one, so of course it couldn't be compared with His Majesty's Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains. However, there would always be similar problems in the harem when it came to politics. "The harem is just a miniature martial arts world. If there are martial arts world, then there will be strife."

"His Majesty manages the rivers and mountains with ease. I am far inferior to his Majesty. His Majesty, you have to help me manage the harem as well." Wang Rong He said, "The harem is also His Majesty's domain."
