Wu Yunzhao smiled: "Where is it, what advice does my father-in-law have?" ”

In the palace, the eunuchs in high positions and powers are not idle. Wang De's mention is a rare good saying.

Wang De said: "The queen has raised the old slave, and she can't talk about advice. He pointed to the side hall and whispered: "Niangniang, you are the queen, the master of the harem, your face is very expensive, not everyone is fortunate to be rewarded by you, you should have a good meal at lunchtime, and the rest will be okay to put it in the future." ”

Wu Yunzhao immediately understood what Wang De meant, and said with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law!" ”

Wang Dedao: "Niangniang is wise, how can you use the old slave to point fingers, you and the virtuous concubine Niangniang eat first, the old slave retreated." ”

When she couldn't see Wang De's figure, Liu Ruohua asked anxiously, "Sister Rui Yao, what's going on?" Faint ••" Wu Yunzhao rolled his eyes and changed his words: "Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty suddenly kind to you." ”

Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "The little girl is straightforward and fast-talking, and she will probably bring trouble to herself in the future." He shook his head secretly, straightened his face, and said, "Ruohua, you are in the deep palace, how can you not be cautious in your words and deeds?" Do you miss your mother's family, because of your few joking words, the Nine Clans? Listening to Liu Ruohua say the word "faint gentleman" so smoothly, it is obviously not once or twice, I am afraid it has become a habit.

Liu Ruohua stuck out his tongue, and then said with a straight face: "Obey the will of the queen's mother, Ruohua will abide by the palace rules in the future and never commit it again." As he spoke, he bowed.

Wu Yunzhao said: "This is quite decent. He helped the man up, pulled him to the table, and said, "Let's talk while eating." ”

Liu Ruohua smiled: "En." ”

Xiong Yan's attitude improved just by chance, how could Wu Yunzhao guess it? I had to tell Liu Ruohua about the two things I had caught Ye Zhaoyi's palace maid and Ziyan's bed.

After Liu Ruohua heard this, he said, "No wonder I didn't see Ziyan by my side." It turned out that they had become sisters, Sister Rui Yao, does this count as Your Majesty's slapping of your face? ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Originally, yes, but, looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem to be the case, as for the reason, I have to judge Ye Zhaoyi before I know." ”

After cross-examination, Ziyun didn't recruit anything useful. However, the servant was ordered by the master to interrogate Ye Zhaoyi well, and there may be unexpected gains.

Liu Ruohua nodded and said, "I listened to what the prince just meant, I want my sister to hang people first, so that everyone in the harem can see the queen's majesty, Sister Rui Yao, how long are you going to hang her?" ”

Wu Yunzhao pondered for a moment and said, "Ruohua, the interrogation is not in a hurry, my sister still has an idea, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Liu Ruohua became interested and said with a smile: "Sister Rui Yao, you say, I'll check it for you." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "I thought in my heart, the new official took office with three fires, and this first fire must be burned on Ye Ziqing, Ruohua, you say, is it possible to take this opportunity to pull Ye Ziqing down from Zhaoyi's position?" ”

According to the harem system of this dynasty, under the queen, there are four concubines of Gui, Shu, De, and Xian, and there are nine concubines under the four concubines, and after the nine concubines are Jieyu, Beauty, Cairen, Baolin, Imperial Maid, and Cainu.

Among the concubines, the noble concubine Sun Hong is fragrant and beautiful in the harem, and her grace is the most prosperous, but she has a humble background and has no support behind her; Concubine Han Rongjia has an average appearance and grace, and as the daughter of Shangshu, she has a lot of help behind her; Concubine Liu Ruohua is a tiger girl, not loved by Xiong Yan, and her grace is only a little more than that of the queen, but relying on the power of her father and brother, no one dares to bully her in the palace.

Concubine Shu is the more special one among the four concubines.

Concubine Shufang's name is Li Shiyu, and she is the niece of the Queen Mother. It stands to reason that she is close to the royal family, and her grace should not be low, but listening to rumors in the palace, this concubine is in a more embarrassing situation than Queen Wang Ruiyao, not only can she not get Xiong Yan's favor, but she can't even get the queen mother's pity.

After Wu Yunzhao knew about Li Shiyu, he became suspicious, but Li Shiyu claimed that he was sick and had been avoiding Hanzhang Palace, rarely going out, not seeing anyone at all, and not being able to hear about her situation for the time being.

The four concubines have a respected status in the harem, but they can influence the forces of the harem, and they are only one step away from the queen's position, no matter which one they are, they are a threat to Wu Yunzhao, who is in the back position. This is a matter involving a power struggle, so the system will not tell the specific situation about the four concubines, and it can only be obtained by Wu Yunzhao himself.

Wu Yunzhao has been running in with the system for a long time, and in frequent exchanges, he probably knows the scope of the system's capabilities, and he doesn't ask about such obvious things. She has always believed in her own means, and she does not like to rely on external objects unless she has to, so she is not dissatisfied, but finds it challenging and more motivating.

Let's talk about Ye Ziqing.

Ye Ziqing, as Zhaoyi, is the head of the nine concubines, the second grade, and her rank is only below the four concubines, which is not low. Ye Ziqing is also the daughter of an official, but the way of entering the palace is different from that of the queen and the four concubines, neither by the royal ceremony nor by the official selection into the palace, but by the official into the palace. To put it bluntly, Ye Ziqing was sent to the emperor as a tool to exchange for official positions and wealth.

Ye Ziqing is also competitive, and through continuous efforts, he climbed to the position of Zhaoyi, and pulled his father, who was originally from the sixth rank Tong Zhilang, to the Taishi Ling from the fifth grade, with no low ability and no small credit.
