Dahanjiao Queen

Just as Chen Jiao had expected, after getting the news that the emperor and the empress did not share the same room on the wedding night, she did not have any difficulty allowing the queen mother to give her the phoenix seal of the harem.

With the phoenix seal in hand, the newly married queen became the most powerful person in the harem in name.She will also officially live in the Jiaofang Palace soon.

Let Liunian put away the seal, Chen Jiao: "I heard that mother entered the palace today?"

"The princess is going to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager," Liu Nian knew that Chen Jiao would ask, and had already made inquiries, "Your Majesty wants to see the princess."

Chen Jiao stopped in her tracks: "Let Suxin...no, I'm used to it, it's Jinse. Let Jinse order the imperial chef to prepare some dishes that my mother likes. By the way, Guo Sheren is now in office!"

"In the past few days, Guo Sheren waited on His Majesty to change clothes and go to court. The empress was not up at that time, so I don't know."

Although there was Guo Sheren, Chen Jiao still didn't feel at ease, so she took care of Liu Che on the wedding night and didn't go to sleep until dawn. She didn't sleep for a few hours, and got up again to meet the queen mother and empress dowager.Afterwards, she was busy taking Feng Yin into her hands, holding the real power of the harem in her hands.

"Have you found the craftsman?"

That day when Liu Che slept in bed, Chen Jiao didn't want to share a bed with a drunk person, so she spent the night propping her head on the desk. She drew a sketch and asked Liu Nian to find someone to make a reclining chair. In order to avoid such a situation again, she would have to wrong herself again.

"It is said that the things will be delivered within three days. It must be here today. Madam, I heard..."

Chen Jiao couldn't help being surprised by her rare desire to speak, "What's wrong? It's rare to see you like this."

"My lord..." Fleeting Nian said cautiously, "I heard that my lord also knows about it."

Liu Fei...

Chen Jiao sighed: "There is no airtight wall in this palace, not to mention, since I want the Empress Dowager to know, it is so easy to hide it from other people. The Empress is newly married, how many pairs of eyes are staring at her?" What about Che'er, is he in the Xuanshi Palace?"

"Your Majesty has been dealing with state affairs in the Hall of Proclamation since he came down today. Are you going to the Hall of Proclamation?"

"Let them follow me. I have something to discuss with Your Majesty." Chen Jiao ordered, "Go and see how the Jiaofang Palace is arranged. From now on, I have to live in the Jiaofang Palace. Then you go to see A Niang, if she is going to Jiaofang Hall, please let me know."

"Here."

In the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Che was worrying about the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty—" Guo Sheren waited beside Liu Che, seeing her arrived, he hurriedly greeted her.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Seeing Chen Jiao frowned, she hurriedly changed her words, "Ajiao, I heard that my aunt has entered the palace, is she here?"

"Aniang is now in the Empress Dowager's Palace. I'm here because of another matter. Guo Sheren, how many maids and eunuchs are there in the Xuanshi Palace?"

"Three or four eunuchs, the rest are palace maids."

"What about the Jiaofang Palace?"

"Except for the fleeting girl and girl Jinse who are beside your empress, the rest are people arranged by the empress dowager. As usual, there are ten maids in your palace, and there are fifteen eunuchs in the palace. Among them, the chief eunuch five indivual."

"So many!" Chen Jiao had never counted before, but now she was a little startled to hear Guo Sheren say this, "Guo Sheren, I have something for you to handle, all the maids in my palace, except Jinse and Liunian, and the others are all replaced by eunuchs. The same goes for Xuanshidian."

"No court lady? Why?"

"If a maid wants to climb up, in this palace, the only way is to climb the dragon bed. Even the maids in charge of the Jiaofang Palace or other palaces are not as high as the imperial concubine or even the empress. And Whether it's a concubine or a queen, the Empress Dowager can talk, and she can put people on the emperor's bed with a single word. Eunuchs are relatively more difficult. So... the nails that the Empress Dowager buried in the palace ladies , more nails than eunuchs. Replacing all the maids, at least half of the nails can be disposed of. Next, it will be much easier to dispose of the nails in the eunuchs."

"What A-Jiao said makes sense," Liu Che nodded in agreement, "But when Grandmother asked, what reason should I give?"

"The empress is jealous and can't tolerate others. Even if someone wants to object to the empress's new marriage, it will be at least half a year later."

"But the imperial grandmother will still think of other ways to make people stare at me." Liu Che asked, "A-Jiao, won't all previous efforts be wasted by then?"

"When the time comes, His Majesty can choose it himself. Not only will you put maids by your Majesty's side, but also let these people listen to you. You know, their future is in your hands, not the Empress Dowager's. "

"Okay, Gillian, this idea is really great!" Liu Che was overjoyed, "Old Guo, go and do it quickly, and replace all these maids, and it's the same in Gillian's palace. Remember, be careful when picking people. Don’t leave one batch, come another batch.”

Guo Sheren patted his chest: "Ninth Brother, I'll take care of things, don't worry!" Then he stepped back to do things.

"A-Jiao, what did you think of it? I'm still worrying about these people surrounding me all the time. I'm so annoyed! Do you know, I read a memorial, and they would all be by my side. If I hadn't asked Guo Sheren to stay So, none of them are willing to go down, saying that it is against the rules to go out, isn’t this rule made by humans?”

Sighing, Chen Jiao knew that her original plan seemed to be changed: "You, if things go on like this, some will suffer in the hands of the Empress Dowager."

Liu Che was puzzled: "A-Jiao, what do you mean...?"

"How do you think that King Liang's imperial decree came about? Could it be that he forged the imperial decree? Don't even think about it. He has no one to back him up. How could he be so bold! When my uncle left, I Hiding under the bed, I heard with my own ears that my uncle was pissed to death after seeing the false edict to proclaim the King of Liang. Cheer, can you have a snack? Not enough, you have to take back the power from the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, let him give up completely, and make Liang Wang completely impossible to succeed to the throne."

"What do you mean?"

"Conspiracy? Treason? If King Liang really commits such a crime, unless the Empress Dowager wants to face Emperor Wen, it is absolutely impossible to help King Liang again."

"Treason? Treason?" Liu Che didn't quite believe it. "His surname is Liu, and he is the son of the emperor's grandmother. It's unlikely!"

Shrugging, Chen Jiao said, "People's hearts, who knows?"

There was silence in the hall of Xuanshi for a while, until Guo Sheren ran in in a panic: "Your Majesty, Princess Guantao is here."

"Auntie?" Chen Jiao wondered, "Why didn't she go to the Jiaofang Hall and come to the Xuanshi Hall?"

"My aunt must have something important to talk to us about," Liu Che said, "please come in, aunt!"

"Here."

Princess Guantao was busy coming to Xuanshidian because she had important matters to discuss with Liu Che and Chen Jiao.

"See you..."

"Aniang, there are no outsiders here, you..." Chen Jiao realized halfway through her words, she could spare Aniang's salute, but Aniang still had to salute with Liu Che, "Forget it."

Seeing this, Liu Che hurriedly stepped forward to help Princess Guantao: "Auntie, please get up quickly, you are kind to me, Gillian is right, you don't need to salute when there are no outsiders."

"Then..." Princess Guantao looked at Liu Che and Chen Jiao, "Okay, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

"Aniang, what's the matter? I asked Jinse to prepare your favorite dishes in the Jiaofang Palace. Why don't we go back to the Jiaofang Palace first? Why don't Che'er come to my palace for dinner too!"

Liu Che echoed, "Yes, Auntie."

"Don't be in a hurry about eating. I'm here because Su Xin is being taken away by the Empress Dowager today."

"Su Xin?" Chen Jiao and Liu Che glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes, "What does the Empress Dowager want her to do?"

Guantao breathed a sigh of relief: "On the second day of your wedding, the Empress Dowager went to my residence. I was not there at the time, and it was Su Xin who took care of me. Today, the Empress Dowager invited me into the palace. , and asked me one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Did the prince live in our mansion after he entered the city? I wondered how she knew about it. Ordinarily, not many people in this mansion knew that it was the prince you brought back!"

"Aniang means..." Chen Jiao said, "Suxin? That's right, she is indeed becoming more and more restless now. I originally planned to let her stay in the mansion for a while, but I didn't expect..."

"What I'm worried about now is that that day when you pretended to be a medicine boy and entered the palace with the imperial physician, will Su Xin..." Guan Tao worried, "If you confront the Empress Dowager head-on now, you and Che'er will definitely lose of."

"I know," Chen Jiao pondered, "Su Xin shouldn't be in a hurry to tell the Empress Dowager everything, because once the explanation is over, her value will be gone, so we have to shut her up before she opens her mouth." Mouth, but...how can we make her shut up?"

Chen Jiao thought for a long time, but she didn't come up with an idea, but Liu Che had an idea: "If I ask the emperor's grandmother to bring Su Xin and put it in the Xuanshi Palace, how about it?"
