Finally, the position and palace were determined.

Empress Fucha Langya lived in Changchun Palace

Consort Hui Gao Jiaxiyue lives in Xianfu Palace

Yu Fei Chen Wanyin lives in Yongshou Palace

Concubine Xian and Ulanala Ruyi live in Yanxi Palace

Concubine Chun Su Lujun lives in Zhongcui Palace

Concubine Jia Jin Yuyan lived in the side hall of Qixiang Palace

Huang Qiying, the noble lady, lives in a side hall of Jingyang Palace

Hai Changzai Keliyete Hailan lived in the rear hall of Xianfu Palace

After receiving the imperial edict, Chen Wanyin used money to get the positions and palaces of the people in the harem from Wang Qin. When she learned that Ruyi was only given the title of concubine, she was very surprised and asked, "Eunuch Wang, this Concubine Xian was a concubine before, why is her position so different from that of another concubine, Concubine Hui?"

"Noble Concubine Hui's family is powerful and her whole family is well-known. The Emperor also likes her, so it's not surprising that she holds this position. As for Concubine Xian, it was the Empress Dowager who told the Emperor that Concubine Xian cooked meat during the late Emperor's mourning period and presented it to the Empress Dowager, which was unfilial and unworthy of the position of Noble Concubine or Consort. That's why Concubine Xian became the Concubine Master."

Chen Wanyin didn't expect that she would be demoted to a lower position just because she made a revelation about the ham and chicken soup.

She continued to ask: "I wonder if Eunuch Wang can tell me whether this title of mine was proposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or given by someone else."

Wang Qin also wanted to curry favor with Concubine Yu, who had four princes, so he gave a detailed account, "Originally, the Empress chose the character Shu for your title, but the Emperor felt that the character Shu did not suit your personality, so he wrote the character Yu with his own hand. The Emperor said that Yu means treasure. Only this character is worthy of you. Even your Yongshou Palace was chosen by the Emperor."

I guess the Queen was very satisfied with her own magical move to suppress Ruyi's position, and actually chose this good title for her.

But the word "Shu" is not really suitable, just like she thinks Gao Xiyue's title "Hui" is not suitable for her. But maybe it also means that she hopes she can become smarter.

Concubine Yu.

Chen Wanyin was still very satisfied with this position and title. She was finally no longer a small agreeant.

Moreover, he lived in Yongshou Palace, which was closest to the Yangxin Palace.

When the empress dowager returned to the palace from Ganlu Temple, the late emperor allocated Yongshou Palace to her. In order to give the censor an opportunity to impeach her for extravagance, the Empress of Jingren Palace put a lot of effort into decorating Yongshou Palace magnificently. Even the pearl necklace partitions were made of countless translucent green jade beads, which was extremely luxurious.

When the Queen Mother moved to Shoukang Palace, she left behind many fine items, including these jade necklaces. Now they all belong to Chen Wanyin.

Moreover, Yongshou Palace is close to Changchun Palace, so the distance to pay respects will be short in the future.

Chen Wanyin was extremely satisfied.

Yonglin and Yonglang were four years old, Yongcui and Yongcan were three years old, both of them were old enough to run and jump, so Chen Wanyin took the four little kids around the palace.

The five of them were having so much fun.

Chen Wanyin has no desires or demands, so everything is fine with her.

But for Ruyi, there is no such thing as a carefree and comfortable life after entering the palace.

Look, after Ruyi heard from Lang Shining about the monogamous system in their country, she went to ask Hongli what he thought about it. What could Hongli think?

He had just become emperor and the whole world belonged to him. He wished all the beauties in the world could enter his harem. Monogamy was shit to him.

Ruyi was naturally unhappy because she didn't hear what she wanted to hear, and the two of them started to have a quarrel. In order to make Hongli happy, the Queen arranged for other concubines to serve Hongli.

Yesterday we had Concubine Jia, and today she was summoned.

Chen Wanyin put down the melon seeds in her hand and said to Shunxin, "Go out and tell them that I am not feeling well and ask the emperor to find someone else!"

The fact that Hongli stayed in Qixiang Palace for less than a quarter of an hour yesterday and then came out was embarrassing enough for Concubine Jia, and she didn't want to be like Concubine Jia.

I don’t want to become a part of Hongli and Ruyi’s play.

After a few days, the two reconciled. Once they reconciled, Ruyi became almost the only one favored by the emperor.

The Empress Dowager could not bear to see this, so she advised Hongli to share the spoils equally so that others could have the meat to eat.

During a visit to the Queen after the beginning of winter, when Chen Wanyin saw that the Queen was wearing an old, patterned dress, she knew that the Queen was going to cause trouble.

As expected, the queen proposed that in order to save money, everyone should wear clothes made of ordinary fabrics. The amount of rouge, powder, and charcoal should be reduced by half. After the full moon, the princes and princesses should be sent to Xiefang Palace, and the number of servants in Xiefang Palace who take care of the princes and princesses should be reduced by half.

Concubine Chun was in a very bad mood because her seventh prince Yongzhang was only half a year old and could not bear to be away from his biological mother.

Unexpectedly, she was retorted by the Queen just after she said one sentence, "This is the ancestral rule, and I am also following the rules. Concubine Chun, instead of talking to me, you should go back early to prepare the luggage for the Seventh Prince to send to Xiefang Palace."

Currently, the only ones who have children and are still alive are the Queen, Chen Wanyin and Concubine Chun.

Therefore, except Concubine Chun, no one else was in a hurry about this matter.

Chen Wanyin had no complaints about the Queen's order that they could not wear expensive fabrics in the future. After all, after the New Year, the Queen Mother and Hongli would lose face among the court officials and ladies, and the Queen Mother would let everyone go back to their old ways of dressing.

But when it comes to the children, Chen Wanyin will not compromise like Chunpin.

"Where did the Empress pull this ancestral rule from? Didn't you look through ancient books for a while and find it from Emperor Taizong? Thank you for all the trouble, Empress, so that you can use the safety of the princes and princesses to control us, the little concubines."

Everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect that even though her former wife had become the queen, she was still so brave and dared to confront others.

"Empress Yu! Are you questioning me?" The Queen was so touched by what Chen Wanyin said that she used anger to cover up her guilt.

"Yes, I am questioning it. The rules have been changed since the time of Emperor Shengzu. All princes and princesses are raised to the prince residence when they are six years old. But why are you using the ancestral rules to argue with me, Queen? If we follow the ancestral rules, we should not call you Queen, but Dafujin. I will follow you and call myself Yongshou Palace Fujin."

"Fei Yu, you are so insolent! You are really going too far! How can you speak to me like that?"

"Insolent? You don't allow me to be insolent, and I have been insolent many times. Is this the only time? Besides, the Empress knows who went too far! Let me guess what you will do when the princes go to Xiefang Palace. I guess you will ask the servants to serve the princes well, to make sure they eat well, drink well, and sleep well, and not to overwork if possible. Don't practice walking or talking, and make them stupid so that they can show that you are your legitimate son. Eh? Why is the Empress blinking so frequently? You are not feeling guilty, are you?"

Without waiting for the Queen to say anything, Su Lian stood up and said, "How can Concubine Yu not respect Her Majesty the Queen? The Queen is the head of the country—"

Chen Wanyin glanced at her calmly and said, "Aunt Su Lian, you'd better shut up. If I get upset and tell everyone about what you did, I'm afraid that all the heads of your clan won't be enough to chop off."

Su Lian almost couldn't breathe. Thinking of the methods she had used, she dared not say a word.

Jin Yuyan glanced at Su Lian guiltily, then looked at Chen Wanyin nervously, but in the end she said nothing and just lowered her eyes in silence.

The queen looked at Su Lian in confusion and wanted to ask, but she was afraid it was something serious, so she thought of asking Su Lian in private.

Concubine Hui was so curious that she asked stupidly, "What did Su Lian do?"

Chen Wanyin glanced at her lightly and said, "Curiosity kills the cat. It's better for Concubine Hui not to ask."

At this point, she stood up lazily, looking at the queen with burning eyes, "The eldest and second princes are old enough, so if the queen wants to send them to Xiefang Palace, you can do whatever you want with the palace maids and allowances. My third, fourth, fifth, and sixth princes are still young, so I won't trouble the queen. When they reach the age, I will report to the emperor and ask him to personally assign palace maids to them, and I will not trouble the queen. I have to go back to Yongshou Palace to look after the children. If the queen is fine, I will take my leave."

After saying this, he didn't even bother to wait for the queen to react, and just walked away in a swagger.

Everyone was left looking at each other.

Concubine Chun was smart for once, "My son Yongzhang is still young. I will wait until he is six years old before sending him to Xiefang Palace. I will take my leave now."

Naturally, this visit ended unpleasantly.

It can be said that because of Chen Wanyin, the queen lost all her face and dignity.
