Second day

Song Qingwan helped Xiao Rui change his clothes, and deliberately placed the beads that the emperor was going to wear when he went to court on the broken table.

Song Qingwan gently helped Xiao Rui change his clothes, carefully straightened his collar, and said, "Your Majesty, this is really like a son of heaven!"

Xiao Rui laughed loudly after hearing this. "What are you talking about? I am the emperor myself!"

Song Qingwan said, "Yes, yes, yes~ I'm sorry. Okay, I'll put the beads on you and it will be done!"

At this moment, the table happened to fall over, and the beads on it fell to the ground, scattered all over the floor!

Seeing this, Song Qingwan quickly knelt down to pick up the scattered beads, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't mean it!"

Xiao Rui was about to get angry, but when he saw Song Qingwan kneeling down to pick up the beads seriously and admitting her mistake devoutly, his anger subsided a lot.

"What happened out of nowhere? Why did the table fall over?" Xiao Rui asked

While picking up the beads, Song Qingwan answered carelessly, "Ah, the emperor said that table. That table has been broken for a long time. I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs several times a few days ago. The palace servants currently have no time to repair it. It has been delayed!"

After she finished talking and picked up all the beads, Song Qingwan strung them together again, tied them up, and put them on Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui asked unhappily, "The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are spending all day eating lunch, don't they even have time to fix a table?"

Song Qingwan smiled and said, "The palace is so big, with three palaces and six courtyards, it is understandable that I can't handle it all at once. Okay, Your Majesty, I will put it on for you!"

Xiao Rui said angrily, "I think they are deliberately neglecting you! Wan'er, you are kindhearted. If it weren't for this table falling down in front of me, would you still be planning to keep using it?"

"Hahaha, if not, do I have to hold the plate with my hands to eat?" Song Qingwan said jokingly

"I will have someone make a rosewood table for you, Wan'er, and send it to Yufangzhai. If you need anything in the future, just let me know! I'm going to court first!" Xiao Rui said

"Your Majesty, your concubine respectfully sees you off!" After seeing Xiao Rui leave, Song Qingwan glanced at the table that she had tampered with.

Ministry of Internal Affairs

Little Fuzi suddenly arrived, and Chief Steward Li hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Here comes Eunuch Fu. What does the Emperor want?"

Xiao Fuzi said coldly, "Come and take off your hat!"

Manager Li was completely confused. "What's wrong, Eunuch Fu? I haven't done anything wrong recently."

Xiao Fuzi said, "Nothing has happened? Yufangzhai got a table and asked your Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair it. Did you send someone to repair it?"

Li Zongguan then remembered that it was all about this matter. "Eunuch Fu, we have been friends for so many years. Tell me the truth. Was it that person from Yufangzhai who persuaded the emperor to accept my advice?"

Xiao Fuzi glanced at Li Zongguan and said, "The emperor stayed at Yufangzhai last night. The beads he brought to court were placed on the table. The table fell over in front of the emperor! The beads fell all over the floor! It's a good thing that the emperor didn't take your head off!"

After listening to this, Manager Li was stunned for a moment, then he said wittily, "In fact, someone was sent to deal with the matter of the table in Yufangzhai, but I have already ordered them to go down and handle it! Maybe those subordinates below deceived their superiors and were lazy and didn't go!"

"Eunuch Fu, please tell the emperor for me! This is really none of my business!"

Xiao Fuzi said, "Okay, stop talking. The emperor just punished the people in the Jingshifang yesterday, and the chief steward of the Jingshifang said the same thing as you did! This time the emperor is punishing you for your negligence! The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department has been in office for so many years, and he has had enough of the benefits. It's time to let him go!"

Manager Li wanted to say something else, but he was afraid of angering the Holy Face, so he had to shut up. "Yes."

"There is one more thing," Xiao Fuzi continued.

"The former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs neglected Yufangzhai and shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!"

Manager Li was stunned. He thought he would be dismissed from his post, but he didn't expect to be beaten.

Jiahe Palace

Noble Lady Shen was chatting with Concubine Ru. "Have you heard, Concubine Ru? The chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been replaced!"

Concubine Ru shook her head. "Is there such a thing? Hasn't Chief Steward Li been doing this for many years?"

Concubine Shen said, "The one from Yufangzhai! She has regained her favor. Manager Li neglected her before, but she is in big trouble right now!"

After hearing this, Concubine Ru sighed and said, "Oh, so she is really capable! No wonder she didn't say a word when I was trying to help her in Fenghua Palace that day. It turns out she had something bad in mind!"

Concubine Shen said, "Who says it's not true? In my opinion, maybe she will take revenge on Concubine Wang next..."

Concubine Ru smiled and said, "Noble Lady Wang has been so proud for so long, it's time for someone to teach her a lesson!"

Concubine Shen and Concubine Ru looked at each other and said, "Well, let's just sit back and watch the fire from the other side of the river~"
