Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 4 Dismissing the Minions
As Su Qingyan expected, soon, the news that the emperor gave her a glazed lantern spread throughout the harem.

When the empress knew about this, she didn't react too much. After all, this is the harem. It's normal for the emperor to give something to his concubine on a whim.

However, the other party is Fangyi who hasn't been favored for three years, which is a bit interesting.

"Yingluo, go and send the two bolts of brocade that I have newly acquired to Su Fangyi."

"Yes." In response, Yingluo backed away.

In Yichun Palace, Concubine Shen also knew about the glazed lantern, thinking of Su Qingyan she saw in the imperial garden yesterday, a smile curled up on Concubine Shen's lips.

"I haven't been favored for three years, and now I can't hold back anymore. She's a seductive vixen."

"It's just Fangyi, so why should you care about it? We also have the glazed lanterns in Yichun Palace. Your Majesty has always been wise. Su Fangyi's flirtatious tricks probably won't last long."

Hongxiu stood aside, comforting Concubine Shen with a smile. Hearing what she said, Concubine Shen nodded with a smile.

"That's natural. A Fangyi, is it possible that he can go beyond the palace? You go and send the hairpin that the magpie climbed on the branch of the palace to Su Fangyi."

"Yes." Responding, Hongxiu smiled and retreated. This harem is also particular about gift giving.

Although this magpie climbed a branch, although it was a good meaning, it was also a warning to Su Qingyan that no matter how much a magpie climbed a branch, it would not become a phoenix.

Logically speaking, such things should be given by the queen, that is the right meaning, but in Concubine Shen's heart, the position of queen will be hers sooner or later.

Qifeng Palace and Yichun Palace gave gifts, and the rest of the concubines naturally also had to send some gifts.

Of course, they did not send things to congratulate Su Qingyan for getting the emperor's attention, but to use the things they rewarded to warn Su Qingyan.

Don't look at her getting the emperor's attention, but she is only a seventh-rank Fangyi, as long as someone with a higher status than her sends her something, that is a reward.

Looking at the things on the table, Su Qingyan only felt a headache.

This is just a glazed lantern, and that's it. If the emperor suddenly had a whim and had a meal with him, or even...even invited him to Chenghuan Hall, the women in the harem would want to eat him alive.

What Su Qingyan wanted, Zitan and Zisu also wanted. Seeing Su Qingyan's face, Zitan cautiously said, "Master, these things..."

"You and Zisu have a good inventory, and then put it away." After a moment of silence, Su Qingyan opened her mouth. Zitan and Zisu agreed, tidied up the things, and put them away in Tao Ranju's small warehouse.

When the two returned to the room, their expressions suddenly darkened, because there were palace servants kneeling all over the room.

These were supposed to be the maids and eunuchs serving Su Qingyan, but because Su Qingyan hadn't been favored for three years and her status was low, she couldn't see them at all.

Now, just hearing that the emperor sent a glazed lantern, these palace maids and eunuchs immediately regained their composure, so they ran back one after another.

"Bah, you shameless people, get out!" Zisu had a straightforward character, looked at the kneeling people on the ground, and immediately ran to Su Qingyan, spitting at the maids and eunuchs on the ground.

"Miss Zisu, the servants are forced to do so. Although the servants are not usually in Taoranju, their hearts are always with our master." One of the eunuchs raised his head and said to Zisu.

Such shameless words made Zisu even more angry. She wanted to speak, but Zitan stretched out her hand and motioned her to see the master.

Turning her head to look at her master, Su Qingyan's eyes were fixed on the maids and eunuchs on the ground. Although there was a smile on her lips, the smile didn't reach her eyes at all.

"Let's go, my Tao Ranju doesn't need to eat slaves from inside and outside. Of course, you don't have to go. I will go to the empress and report all your daily actions to the empress. This slave who betrayed the master , have always been beaten to death."

After a long time, Su Qingyan opened her mouth. There was a coldness in her voice, which made the servants who were kneeling on the ground tremble uncontrollably.

"Master..." The little eunuch who spoke before wanted to speak again, but Zisu planned viciously.

"Hurry up and get out, I'll go to Director Kang!" Zisu said this, naturally to scare the group of people, but the scare words still worked.

The maids and eunuchs on the ground, you look at me, I look at yours, one by one quickly got up and walked out of the house, they all knew that it was impossible to stay.

Zi Su followed behind the palace people, waiting for the maids and eunuchs to leave, then slammed the door of Tao Ranju.

"Zisu, the master is calling us!" After the palace people had left, Su Qingyan asked Zitan to call Zisu and Xiao Fuzi into the room.

From Su Qingyan's point of view, just receiving a glazed lantern doesn't mean anything, but since these things happened today, she simply opened up the conversation with the people around her.

Looking at the three people in front of her, Su Qingyan showed a gentle smile on her face, "You all saw it just now, but it's just a glazed lantern, which can make those servants like this."

"Master, don't be angry. It's not worth being angry with that kind of person. Don't worry, Zisu will always be by your side!"

Thinking that Su Qingyan was angry, Zisu quickly spoke to comfort her.

"I'm not angry. I let you in because I have something to say."

"You've been with me for so long, and you know exactly what's going on here. It's still the same sentence. It's just a lamp, but it doesn't mean that I will be favored. If you continue to follow me, it may still be the same as before."

"So if you also want to leave, I will definitely not stop you, but if you are willing to continue to follow me, you can rest assured that as long as I have a bite to eat, you will not be hungry. We will all be prosperous and all will suffer."

Although it's a bit early to say this, Su Qingyan feels that this is the harem after all, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable in the harem. Rather than waiting for the people around her to betray her, it is better to speak clearly from the beginning.

The extent to which this person can win over is considered as such.

"Master, don't worry, slaves swear to follow master!" Zitan knelt down first, and said with a firm face.

Seeing her like this, Zisu and Xiao Fuzi knelt down together, "The slaves swear to follow the master to the death!"

Seeing the three of them like this, a smile appeared on Su Qingyan's face. She called the three of them to get up, and then rewarded each of them with a purse containing five taels of silver.

Although you don't know what will happen in the future, it is still very important to win over the people around you. After all, you never know what will happen in the next second in this harem?
