Chapter 852 Unwilling to be a slave

After so much information was selected and compiled, Nangong Shuangshuang immediately came up with a precise answer. She looked at Mrs. Jing, who was still thinking about why the emperor suddenly chose a girl from a high-ranking official to be his concubine, and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty wants to tell the girl from the northwest.

We are using troops on the side."

Mrs. Jing was slightly startled and blinked. She didn't know why Nangong Shuangshuang came to such a conclusion, and weren't they just talking about the daughters of high-ranking officials who entered the palace?

Nangong Shuangshuang was a little helpless. Mrs. Jing was very smart, but she could not broaden her horizons. She always stayed in the harem and the emperor's favor, and never thought of looking at the world.

It is still necessary to guide slowly. Once you have the power, your vision will naturally come. With this thought, Nangong Shuangshuang continued to explain to Mrs. Jing, "The fathers of the concubines who entered the palace were responsible for managing things related to the war.

For example, the Minister of Household Affairs is responsible for raising food and military pay, the Minister of War is responsible for recruiting troops, and the generals responsible for fighting, etc. The emperor's biggest purpose in selecting the daughters of these families to enter the palace is not to select the queen, although the emperor does intend to choose among these concubines.

Choose a queen.

But the emperor’s real purpose is to use the position of queen to dangle the officials who covet the position of queen, so that they can work for the emperor to the best of their ability when the emperor is sending troops to the northwest, and don’t be too careful.”

Nangong Shuangshuang didn't know why the emperor suddenly changed his temper before, but Nangong Shuangshuang never believed that the emperor was a person who would change his mind at will. There must be a reason for his behavior, so Nangong Shuangshuang read the letter Gao Yan sent to the palace for several days.

, I finally guessed the emperor’s thoughts.

I have to say that this is a method that is very characteristic of the emperor's character. In order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes, even if he uses a few innocent women. He is as cold and clear-minded as ever.

After hearing Nangong Shuangshuang's analysis, Madam Jing was also surprised and her eyes widened. She never doubted Nangong Shuangshuang's words. She was just surprised that the emperor could make such a decision for this reason. Madam Jing thought it was a shameless decision.

The emperor is completely taking advantage of these girls. It will be fine for them to be favored when they enter the palace in the future, but if they do not please the emperor, life will be difficult in the future.

The emperor is not a person who will wrong himself. Even if he wants to use the father of these concubines, the most he can do is select them into the palace and promote them to high-ranking concubines. As for whether to favor them or not, it all depends on the emperor's own preferences.

"What's the matter with your concubine's surprised look?" With a rich male voice, the emperor in regular clothes walked in. Recently, the emperor came to Yingyue Palace to make a surprise attack.

Mrs. Jing put away the surprised look on her face, and Nangong both stood up quickly and walked out from behind the desk. They both saluted the emperor and said hello. The emperor said goodbye, sat down on the main seat, and continued to ask Mrs. Jing,

"My beloved concubine hasn't said yet why she was so surprised just now."

Mrs. Jing smiled very calmly and said: "I just asked Shuangshuang to read my father's letter to me, but something happened that surprised me so much. It was said that a dozen shrews actually got into a group fight in the market, and I wanted to hear it.

It feels very incredible.”

"Oh, a dozen shrews were fighting in a group. I heard it was incredible. When did the news come? Bring it to me." The emperor also became curious after being told by Madam Jing. Nangong both immediately took the page of letter paper.

Take it over and show it to the emperor.

The emperor had read the letters Gao Yan sent to Mrs. Jing many times, and knew that they were all trivial things in the market, so he didn't suspect anything. He just thought that Mrs. Jing was really lonely in the harem and wanted to hear about outside things to relieve her boredom.

The emperor felt that Mrs. Jing's hobby was very good, and Mrs. Jing's handling style was very similar to that of the queen, which made the emperor very satisfied.

Although the emperor had previously handed over the palace affairs to Concubine Shu and Lady Jing, he could not completely rest assured. He was afraid that Concubine Shu and Lady Jing could not handle the relationship in the harem well, and he was also afraid that they would do something by taking advantage of their time managing palace affairs.

, so he has been sending people to keep an eye on him secretly.

After staring at the emperor, he discovered that Concubine Shu's ability to handle palace affairs was mediocre. Although she would not use the opportunity of managing palace affairs to stir up trouble, she often failed to handle conflicts between some concubines in the harem.

But Mrs. Jing is different. Her way of managing palace affairs is just like the Queen's, with a firm yet gentle touch. She will refer to the Queen's method of handling any issues that cannot be handled, which makes the Emperor very satisfied.

What satisfies the Emperor the most is that Madam Jing has properly arranged all the maids, eunuchs, mammies and aunts in Fengchen Palace who were originally the Queen. This matter Madam Jing did is particularly in line with the Emperor's wishes.

Although the Emperor himself is cool, he doesn't like other people to be cold. He likes his courtiers and concubines to be affectionate and righteous. Mrs. Jing was so kind to the Queen before, and the Emperor already regards Mrs. Jing as someone on the Queen's side.

When the Queen died, something happened to Mrs. Jing's father. In addition, the Queen's Fengchen Palace was ordered to be closed by the Emperor, and concubines were not allowed to enter, so the Emperor didn't think it was a big deal since Mrs. Jing never came to visit the Queen.

But after the Queen's death, none of the concubines in the harem who had been cared for by the Queen remembered to take care of the servants around the Queen, including the transparent people. The concubine Shu, who had been taken care of by the Queen for many years to ensure that her palace status was not harsh, also had a crush on Fengchen Palace.

People avoid it for fear of being out of reach, for fear of offending themselves.

It can be said that Concubine Shu's performance made the emperor very dissatisfied. Mrs. Jing was not afraid of being angered and took the initiative to take care of the people in the queen's palace, which was particularly conspicuous in the eyes of the emperor.

In addition, Mrs. Jing is indeed more capable than Concubine Shu and handles palace affairs in an orderly manner. Therefore, in the past six months, almost all the power of palace affairs has been transferred to Mrs. Jing by the emperor.

The emperor's visit to Yingyue Palace this time was just a whim. It was still daytime at this time, and it was impossible to stay with Mrs. Jing in Yingyue Palace all day. The emperor left after having a royal meal with Mrs. Jing.

After the emperor left, Nangong Shuangshuang continued to read the letter in his hand. The door and window were open, giving a clear view of the situation inside the house. Nangong Shuangshuang and Mrs. Jing were always magnanimous when reading letters, so although the emperor had encountered them many times, they had never seen them.

Was suspicious.

If the person who read the letter in this way was a prince, the emperor might be suspicious, but it was two women who read the letter in this way. In the emperor's mind, what knowledge could a woman have?

Even if a woman cares about it, she just wants to see whether a man loves her and other women are favored. As for court affairs, a few confidants proved to the emperor that women do not have such tendencies.
