Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

The main reason why Concubine Wang Xian wanted to manage the harem was because she found that there were no real people in charge of things in the palace and it was a mess, even more chaotic than her own home.

More importantly, this chaos has affected her - no one cares about it. These people are serious about asking for bribes. If they don't pay, they will not serve her well, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation they give her are not good.

Can Concubine Wang Xian bear this? Thinking that these people don't open their dog eyes to see who they are, they dare to disrespect themselves. The emperor was supported by their family, what kind of dogs are they, dare to do this to themselves?

So she wanted the right to manage the harem, and when she got it, let's see how she dealt with this group of trash who dared to ask her for money.

In order to live a better life, this is the reason why Concubine Wang Xian wants management rights. Another reason is because she heard her family talking about it, saying that if she had not been so young, before the emperor came to the throne, she would have been allowed to marry the then emperor. He has not yet ascended the throne and needs the support of the royal family. The emperor, who is still a prince, becomes a prince and concubine, and then she can become a queen at this moment.

It was a pity that she was too young at the time, otherwise this would definitely have been possible. After all, the emperor at that time desperately needed the support of the Wang family.

Well now, the emperor has ascended the throne. It is difficult for her to become a queen. She can only become a concubine first and talk about it later when there is a chance.

Although the family members wanted to talk about it later when they had a chance, Concubine Wang Xian felt that since there was no queen in the palace now, as the highest-status concubine - An Ran, the concubine who also had a prince, she simply ignored it - it would be okay to palm the phoenix seal in advance. The problem is that there have been cases in the past where there was no queen in the palace and high-ranking concubines held the phoenix seal on their behalf.

When she holds the Phoenix Seal, it will not only be good for controlling the power of the harem, but also good for becoming a queen or queen mother and managing the harem in the future. After all, this can be considered as entering the state in advance.

She didn't think her suggestion was too much. After all, there were high-ranking concubines who took care of the harem in the past.

But she had forgotten that the Empress Dowager Zheng was now in charge of the harem. Although she was the hands-off shopkeeper, the power was indeed in her hands. Moreover, it could be seen from the fact that Empress Dowager Zheng had never informed the emperor about empress Luo. She did not want to Hand over the power, otherwise the emperor would have appointed a queen, and then the power to manage the harem would have to be handed over.

Even though she was obsessed with power, she was also robbed of management rights. Needless to say, Empress Dowager Zheng was naturally furious at Concubine Wang Xian’s suggestion. She thought about what happened to this girl from the Wang family and how the Wang family taught her. Just grab power after entering the palace?

Or is it that the Wang family is so ambitious to begin with? ——Actually, it is true. The Wang family is indeed very ambitious. Otherwise, why would they want the future emperor to be a member of the Wang family?

But Concubine Wang Xian wanted management rights, and Empress Dowager Zheng was really embarrassed not to give it to her.

Generally speaking, the harem is managed by the queen. If there is no queen, it is indeed managed by the emperor's concubines, not the queen mother. Because the queen mother is a widow and a widow, she should have been there after the death of the late emperor. , who did not care about worldly affairs and concentrated on praying for the late emperor in the Buddhist hall.

In fact, it is the same among the people. After the death of the husband, the head of the house should be replaced by the daughter-in-law, instead of the widow continuing to run the house. After all, it is taboo to interact with other families. Some people will avoid interacting with widows because they think it is unlucky, so housekeepers generally The power will be placed in the hands of the daughter-in-law.

In fact, when the head of the house in many families gets older, even if her husband is not dead, she will gradually transfer the housekeeping rights to her daughter-in-law, instead of always dominating.

The palace was previously under the control of Empress Dowager Zheng because there was no queen or even a high-ranking concubine.

And since An Ran became a high-ranking concubine, Empress Dowager Zheng should actually hand over the Phoenix Seal to An Ran for custody.

But Empress Dowager Zheng was obsessed with power and was unwilling to let it go, while An Ran didn't want to take charge of the affairs at all, and never took it away, so she let Empress Dowager Zheng control the harem all the time.

But now, Concubine Wang Xian is here. She just entered the palace before and was not favored, so she did not dare to seize power. Now that she is favored, she is relieved and has the mind to do other things, such as seizing the management rights of the harem.

In fact, it is unreasonable for Empress Dowager Zheng to hold on to power. It is not an exaggeration for Concubine Wang Xian to demand power, but no one dares to take away her power. Concubine Wang Xian dared to take it away, which naturally made Empress Dowager Zheng angry with Concubine Wang Xian again.

But no matter how angry she was, someone suggested this idea, but Empress Dowager Zheng was too embarrassed to hold on to the phoenix seal and refused to hand it over. After all, in all dynasties, the empress or the emperor's concubines were in charge of the harem. I have never heard of any empress dowager in charge of the harem. It's actually quite out of line for her to be able to take charge of things for such a long time.

In fact, her mother, Mrs. Zheng, had come to the palace before and tactfully advised her that since An Ran gave birth to a prince and became a high-ranking concubine, there were people in the palace. She asked her to hand over the Phoenix Seal to An Ran and not continue. Holding power.

She said that she had heard some people talking about this and felt that she was greedy for power and it was outrageous that she would not give the phoenix seal to her daughter-in-law and still keep it to herself.

Her mother didn't want Queen Mother Zheng and the Zheng family to have a bad reputation, so she went to the palace to persuade her.

At that time, Empress Dowager Zheng listened to her mother's advice and was moved. However, she was really greedy for power and was unwilling to take out the Phoenix Seal. After all, only when the Phoenix Seal was in her hands did she have the power. If she handed it over, even if she was The Queen Mother's status would be much worse than her current status, so she had not taken any action. Anyway, An Ran didn't ask her for it, so she just pretended that it was not the case.

But now, it was clear that Concubine Wang Xian would not let her continue to pretend to be stupid, and came directly to ask for it. Empress Dowager Zheng could no longer pretend to be stupid, so she naturally had no choice but to hand over the Phoenix Seal. After all, if she dared not give it, Concubine Wang Xian shouted out and said The Queen Mother, a widow, insisted on holding the phoenix seal and refused to give it to her daughter-in-law. The outside world didn't know how to talk about her. Therefore, Queen Mother Zheng was forced by Wang Xianfei and had no choice but to hand over the phoenix seal. She just felt very unhappy.

Feeling unhappy, Empress Dowager Zheng immediately agreed to hand over the phoenix seal to Concubine Wang Xian, but at the same time said that An Ran and Concubine Wang Xian had equal status, and there was also a prince, so An Ran and Concubine Wang Xian were allowed to take charge of the harem together. There was no reason for her to hand over the phoenix seal and only let An Ran. Concubine Wang Xian manages the harem alone to avoid being accused of favoring one over the other.

——Even if she was deprived of power, Concubine Wang Xian could not be satisfied, so Empress Dowager Zheng used such a stumbling block.

Concubine Wang Xian couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Queen Mother Zheng's instructions.

She didn't take An Ran seriously at all, and she never thought about taking charge of the harem together with An Ran. After all, the Changping Marquis Mansion of the Chu family didn't have much power in the court. It just had the title of marquis, which gave it a somewhat high status.

But Empress Dowager Zheng is right. An Ran's current status is as high as hers, and the prince is qualified to manage the harem in every aspect.

Therefore, although Concubine Wang Xian was not willing to manage the harem together with An Ran, she had no reason to refuse, and since it was the Queen Mother Zheng's order, she could not refuse, so she had to manage the harem together with An Ran.
