Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Even Jiang Man, who was tired for two days, was lying on the bed on the third day and couldn't get up. She didn't even know when Emperor Yong'an left to go to the morning court.

When Wan Dong woke her up, Jiang Man was still a little dazed, "What's the matter?"

Generally, if there is nothing to do, Wan Dong and Lian Qiu will not bother her to go to bed, let alone when she is so tired.

Looking at Jiang Man's not sober state, Wan Dong waited for Jiang Man to get up, and said: "Master, the ladies and masters of each palace have come to greet you."

Jiang Man became more sober after hearing the words, she frowned, and said, "Didn't I tell them yesterday? You don't need to come every day to say hello, as long as you come to say hello once a month on the first day of every month."

Wan Dong smiled and said: "They may think that the master is just talking."

Jiang Man was speechless, "Who was just talking to them? I'm not idle and have nothing to do. I have to realize my superior presence in front of them every day."

Having said that, everyone has already arrived, and Jiang Man can't miss it.

After Wan Dong and Lian Qiu cleaned up for Jiang Man, Jiang Man took Jiang Man to meet the concubines.

When Jiang Man came out, everyone in the harem was whispering.

"Why hasn't the empress come out yet?"

"Who knows? Wouldn't it be to give us a blow?"

"It's hard to say. Didn't it mean that the new official took office three times? It is also possible that the queen's empress just became a queen and wants to play the queen's prestige."

"Is it possible that the Empress has not gotten up yet?"

"How is it possible? The Kunning Palace where the emperor stayed overnight last night, the emperor has already gone to court in the morning, how could the empress have not gotten up yet, most likely she deliberately left us alone."

The moment Jiang Man came out, everyone stopped talking and saluted Jiang Man together.

Jiang Man sat down in her seat, glanced at all the concubines, and said, "Sit down, I said yesterday that you don't have to come to my palace every day except the first day of the lunar new year to pay my respects, but maybe you didn't Listen to the words of the palace. But it doesn't matter, since you are here today, let's sit together and talk."

All the concubines looked at each other, wondering if Jiang Man meant to blame them for not coming today, or if it meant something else.

Xia Baolin rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said first: "The Empress is kind, she spared the concubines and others to pay their respects, but the concubines and others have to understand the rules."

Jiang Man glanced at Xia Baolin, put the teacup in his hand on the table next to him, and said with a pleasant face, "It's a good thing that Xia Baolin understands the rules, but the rule here in this palace is that everyone can come to ask for safety on the first day of each month. There is no need to come here to say hello. Since Xia Baolin understands the rules so well, he should remember clearly the rules here in this palace."

Although Jiang Man still had a bit of a smile on her face when she spoke, the concubines present didn't care about Jiang Man's words. It was only at this time that they realized that Jiang Man's saying that he only came to pay his respects on the first day of the month was not true. Just talking.

After Jiang Man finished speaking, she looked at all the concubines present, and said: "I know that all the sisters in the palace are people who know etiquette and rules. There are not so many rules here in this palace. Everyone just needs to be the same as before. Just keep your own duty, and the rest of the palace doesn't have any requirements."

All the concubines looked at each other, and they all responded: "What the empress said is that the concubines and others must keep their own place."

After hitting everyone with a few words, Jiang Man wanted to leave immediately. She didn't like to hear insincere compliments and flattery, and she didn't like to see everyone sitting together with their own thoughts, or pretending to be intimate, or sarcasm each other. What's the meaning.

But just as Jiang Man wanted to say: If there is nothing wrong, let’s leave, Concubine Gao Xian, who has always been like a bystander, suddenly said: "Before, the position of the middle palace was vacant, and the emperor had no choice but to hand over the affairs of the harem to the ministers." The concubine will take care of it for the time being, and now that the empress has entered the central palace, the concubines should also hand over all the affairs of the harem to the empress."

"The concubine has already asked people to prepare all the account books and other things. The empress can send someone over to hand over the concubine at any time."

There were originally some concubines who were cautious in the harem. Considering that Concubine Gao Xian has been in charge of the affairs of the harem for such a long time, now that Jiang Man has been promoted to empress, it may not be so easy to wrest the right to manage the harem from Concubine Gao Xian .

Therefore, I hope that the two will fight to see if they can have a chance to make a profit.

Who would have thought that Jiang Man hadn't mentioned the matter of handing over the affairs of the harem yet, but Concubine Gao Xian brought it up on her own initiative, and listened to Concubine Gao Xian, she didn't even mean to embarrass Jiang Man at all, she actually wanted to be honest The right to manage the affairs of the harem was handed over to Jiang Man.

However, some people understand that Concubine Gao Xian's nephew is now the crown prince's companion. Concubine Gao Xian and Jiang Man are natural allies. Handing over to Jiang Man, she will not be affected much in the harem.

Although it is definitely not as convenient as holding the management of the harem in his own hands, it will not cause major inconvenience.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Man actually rejected Concubine Gao Xian.

Jiang Man said: "Sister Concubine Xian has managed the affairs of the harem very well in the past two years, and there have been no major mistakes. I have already told the emperor that in the future, sister Concubine Xian will work harder, and the affairs of the harem will continue. Concubine Xian take care of it."

Concubine Gao Xian did not expect that Jiang Man would continue to hand over the harem affairs to herself. Normally, even if Jiang Man is not good at taking care of these trivial matters in the harem, she should take them over and hand them over to the grand lady in charge or the nanny in charge. Reasonable is.

However, Concubine Gao Xian soon figured it out. She has long been on the same side as Jiang Man, and even though she is a noble concubine, she has neither a princess nor a prince behind her, and she doesn't even have the emperor's favor. Taking care of the harem for Jiang Man, Jiang Man is not afraid of what she will do behind the scenes, and Jiang Man can save herself trouble.

Then again, in fact, after managing the harem for so long, she herself is willing to continue to manage it. Although she is not obsessed with power, she also understands that she has nothing to rely on in the harem now, and holds the right to manage the harem in her hands. It's also a little tougher to speak.

Thinking about it this way, it was a win-win for Jiang Man to let her continue to manage the harem.

Concubine Gao Xian thought so much, but in reality it was only a moment.

She came back to her senses, bowed to Jiang Man, and said: "Since the emperor and the empress trust the concubine, the concubine must also live up to the trust of the emperor and the empress, and will continue to manage the affairs of the harem for the emperor and the empress. "

Jiang Man nodded, "Okay, let's break up, everyone."

After Jiang Man finished speaking, she got up directly.

Everyone resigned knowingly.
