Chapter 392 Wen Yi 21
Cao Qinmo had made up her mind, and she whispered to Nian Shilan:
"Your Majesty, this An family has a humble background and must be isolated and helpless among the candidates."
If we lend a helping hand now, we might be able to win her over and make her work for Her Majesty.”
Nian Shilan raised an eyebrow and sneered:
"Hmph, a little girl like her, if she were truly of any use..."
"I wouldn't mind giving her a chance."
Upon seeing this, Wen Yi mentally recalled An Lingrong's time during the imperial concubine selection.
Cao Qinmo was told about how Xia Dongchun's qipao was accidentally soaked while she was carrying tea.
After listening to Cao Qinmo, he said to Nian Shilan
"Your Majesty, since we want to win over this An family..."
It's better to act sooner rather than later. The An family isn't well-off, so they'll definitely face difficulties during the talent show.
If we lend a helping hand now, we might be able to win her over and make her work for Her Majesty.”
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi, who nodded and led the little eunuch toward Shunzhen Gate.
Not long after Songzhi left, Zhou Ninghai entered again with a young eunuch.
Continuing with the story of the talent show
The young eunuch cleared his throat and said:
"A young lady surnamed Zhen and a young lady surnamed Shen started chatting."
The two seem to have a good relationship.
Shen Xiunü praised Zhen Xiunü, saying that even dressed simply, she was still a beauty in the making.
Zhen Xiunü praised Shen Xiunü again, saying that she would make the Emperor never forget her.
Nian Shilan snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Hmph, these two are quite confident, thinking so highly of themselves even before entering the palace."
Don't they know their place?
Fei Yunyan then asked the little eunuch
"Are these Zhen and Shen from high-ranking official families? What makes them so confident?"
The young eunuch hurriedly replied, "Replying to Consort Li..."
Zhen Xiunü's father, Zhen Yuandao, was the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
Shen Xiunü's father, Shen Zishan, was the Assistant Commander of Jizhou; both families held official positions.
Fei Yunyan scoffed
"I thought it was someone important."
He's just a junior official and a deputy commander, yet he dares to be so arrogant.
Cao Qinmo couldn't let Nian Shilan and Fei Yunyan target Zhen and Shen from the very beginning.
Cao Qinmo smiled slightly and said softly:
"Your Majesty and Consort Li, please don't be angry."
They were just some naive young girls, naturally a bit impetuous.
As elders in the palace, we should naturally prioritize the overall situation and not stoop to their level.
But those two little girls are hardly worth the ladies' attention.
Cao Qinmo's words softened Nian Shilan's expression slightly.
She snorted coldly and said:
"I will naturally not stoop to the level of these little maids."
"But if they really have the ability, I'd like to see what tricks they can pull."
Fei Yunyan nodded and said:
"Sister Cao is right, we can't let these young girls throw us off balance."
At this moment, a palace maid came in to change the tea. The maid carefully carried the tea tray.
She walked lightly to the front of the crowd.
When the palace maid brought the tea to Cao Qinmo,
Cao Qinmo immediately noticed this palace maid.
Cao Qinmo frequently visited Lingkun Palace, and she knew all the palace maids in Consort Hua's palace.
But she had never seen this palace maid before.
Cao Qinmo was slightly taken aback, but quickly guessed that the palace maid was the one the Empress had given to Consort Hua.
Cao Qinmo carefully examined the palace maid; she had delicate features.
He looked very timid and withdrawn.
Cao Qinmo was holding Wen Yi, and had no intention of drinking tea.
I just lifted the lid and smelled the tea.
"The tea in Your Majesty's palace is indeed very fragrant."
This is newly arrived pre-rain Longjing tea; the Emperor truly values the Empress most.
"But this palace maid who served the tea looks unfamiliar?"
When Nian Shilan saw Cao Qinmo, she specifically mentioned the Emperor.
When Cao Qinmo asked about the new palace maid sent by the Empress,
He wasn't angry, he just rolled his eyes and said sarcastically.
"This is a palace maid given to me by the Empress, her name is Fuzi."
They said they were here to serve me, but who knows what the Empress is really thinking.
Wen Yi also carefully examined the Fu Zi.
Her appearance was indeed more outstanding than the other palace maids, as for whether she resembled Chun Yuan...
Wen Yi had never met Chun Yuan and didn't notice anything amiss.
The Empress knew that Consort Hua was short-tempered and spoiled by nature.
They deliberately sent the young and beautiful Fu Zi to Consort Hua's side to provoke her.
The Empress knew that Consort Hua would never keep the person she had given her by her side.
Consort Hua will definitely target Fu Zi.
If Consort Hua punishes Fu Zi, the Empress will be able to find fault with Consort Hua.
On the grounds of "being jealous by nature" and "mistreating servants",
By putting a bad word about Consort Hua in front of the chubby orange, the chubby orange became dissatisfied with Consort Hua.
Shortly after entering Lingkun Palace, Fu Zi was praised by the chubby orange.
This displeased Consort Hua, who then ordered Zhou Ninghai to deal with Fu Zi.
Consort Hua, Nian Shilan, was indeed vicious and didn't care about human life.
But once you enter the harem, there's no such thing as a clean one.
Zhou Ninghai, who was in charge of handling Nian Shilan's dirty business, threw Fuzi into the well.
Fu Zi suddenly became Bubble Fu.
Wen Yi told Cao Qinmo all of this from the bottom of her heart.
Cao Qinmo listened to Wen Yi's innermost thoughts and couldn't help but feel a chill.
This empress is truly cunning and ruthless.
She knew Consort Hua's temperament perfectly well, yet she still sent such a palace maid over.
It was clearly an attempt to use Consort Hua to get rid of Fu Zi.
To frame Consort Hua with another crime is truly a brilliant scheme to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
It's a pity that this blessed child became someone destined to die.
It is thought that Wen Yi was blessed by the Eternal Heaven, which led to her extraordinary encounter.
For her daughter's sake, Cao Qinmo also wanted to accumulate some good karma.
Cao Qin thought for a moment and realized that she could only borrow Wen Yi's help.
Cao Qinmo silently told Wen Yi her thoughts.
Wen Yi responded in her heart.
"Mother, don't worry."
Cao Qinmo sat holding Wen Yi, so her arms weren't very tired.
But she still pretended to be struggling.
He gently shook his arm and said to Nian Shilan:
"Your Majesty, this child is getting a bit heavy after holding him for so long."
"May I have this new maidservant help me hold her for a while?"
Nian Shilan was slightly taken aback, then said
"It is this servant's good fortune to be able to hold Wenyi."
"Fu Zi, hurry and help Consort Cao hold Princess Wenyi."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zi quickly stepped forward, respectfully bowed, and said:
"The slaves obey."
Cao Qinmo carefully handed Wenyi to Fuzi.
Wen Yi naturally cooperated, obediently letting herself lean against Fu Zi's chest.
Fu Zi held Wen Yi, a little nervous, but her movements were very gentle.
Wenyi had no grudge against this Fuzi, so she might as well take him under her wing.
He then planted a loyalty talisman on Fu Zi.
Cao Qinmo then praised
"It seems that Wenyi really likes Fuzi; she didn't cry or fuss when Fuzi was held by her."
At this moment, Nian Shilan also realized that it was better to keep the Empress's person around to annoy her than to keep her around like this.
Why not, under the guise of caring for Wenyi, bestow this blessed child upon Cao Qinmo?
Nian Shilan coughed lightly and said:
"Since Wenyi likes this Fuzi, then I will bestow Fuzi upon Consort Cao."
That way, she can take good care of Wenyi.
Cao Qinmo quickly stood up to express her gratitude:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will make sure Fu Zi takes good care of Wen Yi."
Fu Zi had already been sworn to loyalty, and she was naturally happy to be by her master's side.
