"To put things in perspective? Yuan Xiuyi has been practicing rituals with His Majesty for so long. He has worked conscientiously and has never made any mistakes. He is no different from the civil servants of the previous dynasty. Just because of a useless piece of jade, the imperial concubine escorted him to Yeting.
, trying to force a confession through words and deeds!" Wen Ranran interrupted the other party with a sneer.
"If the Queen and I hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't we have been beaten into submission?!"
Wen Ranran's words hit the point. Concubine Jiang was stunned and her face turned pale instantly.
The emperor's face turned cold.
"Concubine Jiang, do you know your guilt?!"
Jiang Yi cried until she cried, but no matter how much she cried, it would not be able to shake the emperor's judgment at this time.
"Come here! Take Concubine Jiang down and demote her to Concubine Jiang... she will be grounded for three months and shut up to reflect on her mistakes!"
Emperor Rongcheng's words brought an end to this farce.
Wen Ranran sighed.
Although Emperor Rongcheng is now devoted to Empress Tao and has never been to other people in the harem, the Jiang family is still as close as his confidants to the emperor.
Yuan Zurong suffered such great injustice, but the other party actually just demoted her to a concubine and imposed a grounding as a punishment.
Thinking of this, if I had known earlier, I should have secretly tipped my mother off in advance and asked her to slap me twice more yesterday!
After dealing with Concubine Jiang, the emperor looked at Yuan Surong again.
"Here, promote Yuan Xiuyi to the rank of Fourth-Rank Zhongshu Minister! Attending the court!"
Yuan Zirong burst into tears, and she and Yuan Qinghuai made a grand ceremony to the emperor together.
"My lord! Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
Compared with the second-rank Xiu Yi of the harem, it seems that the official position of the Minister of Zhongshu has been lowered, but this means that Yuan Jurong, like Wen Ranran and Queen Tao, has become a genuine official who can go to the court, rather than a
The embarrassing identity of a female official.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise...
Wen Ranran smiled.
As for Queen Tao... she didn't even show up during the whole process...
As expected, those who are favored are confident!
Wen Ranran sighed, and together with Yuan Qinghuai, sent Yuan Surong home.
…
"Bitch! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
The sound of broken porcelain resounded in the Chengci Hall. Concubine Jiang was no longer as unruly as usual, and her face was ferocious. She wished she could grab Wen Ranran and Tao Yuanyuan right now and have their skin peeled and cramped!
"One by one... they are all against my Jiang family! They are against me!"
"I... If I gain power, I will never let these two bitches go!"
Jiang Yi almost went crazy.
The Jiang family has suffered a big loss on this level.
Next to Jiang Yi, a middle-aged nanny who looked small and pretty was kneeling with her head lowered and did not dare to speak.
Jiang Yi was so angry that she kicked the nanny coldly.
"You damn bitch! If it weren't for you, how could I believe what that old guy Jin Feng said! How could I suffer such a big loss?!"
The nanny named Yanqiu didn't dare to answer, she just knelt slightly on the ground, trembling and enduring the pain.
Outside the door, the maid came to report with a trembling voice.
"Mother, my father-in-law is here!"
Only then did Jiang Yi regain some sense and glared at the palace maid fiercely.
"If you dare to say one more word, I will skin you!"
There were tears in Yanqiu's eyes, but he didn't dare to say more.
As soon as Eunuch Feng entered the palace, his eyes first fell on Yan Qiu, then he looked at Jiang Yi and saluted: "See you, empress!"
Jiang Yi looked at Jin Feng and reluctantly controlled her emotions.
"Why are you here? Are you here to see how miserable I am?!"
Jin Feng quickly shook his head and glanced at Yan Qiu from the corner of his eye. He knew that Concubine Jiang was taking advantage of her again and sighed slightly.
"I don't dare! It's just that...the emperor has sent Buddhist scriptures and ointments for the empress to cultivate herself..."
Jiang Yi's chest rose and fell violently, and she finally waved her hand.
"Let it go! Don't forget what you promised me!"
Jin Feng lowered his eyes, covering up the resentment in his eyes without any trace.
