Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 130 The Concubine Controversy
Everyone in the palace knew that the queen was almost a decoration these years, and she rarely appeared in front of people.

This is also one of the reasons why Concubine Wan dominates her family and no one dares to disobey her.

But who would have expected that the queen who had been silent for many years would actually summon an inconspicuous little female official?

Lu Yuer was the first to not believe it. After finally forcing Ding Jiayi to this point, how could she give up willingly?

Without even thinking about it, Lu Yuer yelled.

"What queen? Don't you deliberately fool people because of your age? The queen has been out of business for so many years. Who doesn't know that this harem is the world of Concubine Wan..."

However, just as Lu Yuer was halfway through her words, an eunuch hurried forward and covered her mouth.

Looking at Director Liu, the eunuch had a look of panic and fear on his face.

"My lord, newcomers don't know the rules, your lord has a lot..."

The eunuch had just finished speaking, but seeing Director Liu's face showing a smile that was not a smile, looking at him inexplicably, the eunuch couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking of the prestige of Director Liu many years ago, he suddenly dared not speak again.

That Lu Yu'er didn't know who she had offended, she still held her head up, with a proud and contemptuous look on her face.

Director Liu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, coughed, but shook his head and sighed: "Our family will not come out for a few years, so the people in the palace have forgotten our family, right?"

His voice was very soft, not harsh and harsh like other eunuchs, but rather mellow.

However, it would be good to have such a voice on a woman, but paired with his old face, it was indescribably weird.

The eunuch who spoke before heard the words, and hurriedly led all the palace people to prostrate to the ground.

"The slaves dare not!"

Director Liu sneered, his eyes wandered around these palace people, and then turned to look at Lu Yu'er.

"Lu Yu'er? Our family has heard of your name in Qingfeng Palace, but you are only a fourth-rank beauty, how dare you shout in front of our family?"

Manager Liu's tone changed, he took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to pinch Lu Yu'er's delicate chin.

Lu Yu'er finally realized that something was wrong, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

"What do you, you old eunuch want to do?! I am a beauty appointed by the Holy Majesty! How dare you disrespect me?"

"Hmph! The Holy Majesty personally appointed you? Without the consent of the empress, your name as a beauty is nothing more than falsehood! So what if you are granted the royal title?"

Lu Yu'er's eunuch angered Manager Liu, he snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and looked sharply at the group of eunuchs.

Duyefang is one of the eight workshops, but in fact the status of the eight workshops in the palace is not high.

Bafang, also known as Outer Bafang, mostly deals with affairs on the edge of the palace, and besides these Bafang, there are also four divisions and eight bureaus, which form the inner twelve workshops.

Most of the Waibafang are headed by female officials, while the heads of the four divisions and eight bureaus are mostly eunuchs.

This Director Liu was assigned to Yunyuefang when he first entered the palace because of his outstanding voice, but he has been promoted all the way. He was the owner of Duyefang for a period of time, so these eunuchs will recognize him.

However, later he took refuge in the Queen's side, and was taken away by the Queen to become the chief eunuch of Qingfeng Palace, and concurrently served as the deputy chief of Twelve Workshops, with a very high reputation.

Although the queen's status became lower and lower later on, all the old people in the palace will never forget this Manager Liu.

Manager Liu's single name is Qian, which in the eyes of many people is synonymous with devils.

Those eunuchs in Duyefang looked at Liu Qian, hesitated in their hearts, finally gritted their teeth, stood up hula la, and surrounded Lu Yu'er.

But for a moment, the situation was completely reversed.

"Beauty, I'm sorry."

The leading eunuch whispered, then waved his hands, his eyes were full of cold light.

A group of subordinates quickly tied up Lu Yu'er without any sympathy.

But Liu Qian didn't even look at Lu Yu'er, his face became calm, and he walked in front of Ding Jiayi.

"Miss Ding, the empress is still waiting!"

Ding Jiayi watched the good show for a while, and couldn't help sighing at the sudden turn of the matter. Hearing the old eunuch's reminder at this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses.

"There is Mr. Lao."

Ding Jiayi smiled and bowed his knees, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, but there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

If it wasn't for the other party's appearance, it would be unavoidable for him and Qin Wanxia to be beaten up.

Liu Qian was very satisfied with Ding Jiayi's attitude, nodded slightly, stuffed the handkerchief back into his sleeve, motioned to Ding Jiayi, and then walked out slowly.

Ding Jiayi whispered a few words to Qin Wanxia and the others, telling them to wait quietly in the hall, before they had time to change their clothes, they rushed over quickly.

Liu Qian's walking speed is not fast, one step at a time, he looks old.Ding Jiayi followed behind him cautiously, with his head lowered, without making any overstepping moves.

Qingfeng Palace is very far away from Yunyuefang. When Liu Qian took Ding Jiayi out of Yunyuefang, Ding Jiayi suddenly found that there were already two soft sedan chairs outside.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a soft sedan chair, but it is actually just a bamboo chair on top of two moso bamboos.

In the palace, not just anyone can take a sedan chair.When the queen travels, she needs to take a phoenix chariot, and most concubines take soft sedan chairs, while eunuch chiefs, female officials, etc., at most, just sit on these bamboo pedals.And low-quality court ladies and eunuchs are not qualified at all.

Although Ding Jiayi is a sixth-rank female official, she does not have such qualifications in a strict sense, but the queen's call today is obviously the queen's special order.

Ding Jiayi first helped Liu Qian onto the bamboo step in front, and then carefully stepped on the one behind.

The four eunuchs then put the bamboo poles on their shoulders, and carried the two of them steadily towards Qingfeng Palace.

"Our family is getting old and weak. The empress sympathizes with our family, so she allows our family to walk in sedan chairs in the palace." Liu Qian's voice came slowly from the front.

Ding Jiayi immediately understood the meaning of the other party, and said more respectfully: "Don't worry, father-in-law, this servant knows her identity, and will not talk too much in front of your mother."

Liu Qian looked back at her, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't speak any more, and they were extremely quiet along the way. They occasionally met some palace people, and when they saw Liu Qian, they immediately fell silent.

When they came to Qingfeng Palace, the two got off the sedan chair, Liu Qian glanced back at her, Ding Jiayi immediately understood, and stepped forward to hold Liu Qian's arm.

Liu Qian nodded in satisfaction, and patted the back of Ding Jiayi's hand with the other hand.

"go in!"

The solemnity of Qingfeng Palace was completely different from the splendor of Qinghua Palace, which made Ding Jiayi instinctively feel a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Madam is easy to talk to." Liu Qian seemed to see Ding Jiayi's uneasiness, and said in relief.

When he came to the main hall, Ding Jiayi looked up, then stopped.

"The empress is behind."

However, Liu Qian didn't even look at the main hall, and led Ding Jiayi straight to the side hall at the back.

Ding Jiayi noticed that the main hall seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and the door of the hall was closed tightly, giving off an old feeling of gray matter.

In this huge Qingfeng Palace, there are very few palace people, and everyone I see is extremely silent, extremely quiet.

Ding Jiayi felt strange, thinking of the noisy scene when he went to Qinghua Palace for the first time, and comparing it with the current Qingfeng Palace, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before she knew it, Liu Qian brought her to an inconspicuous side hall.

This side hall looked about the same size as the side hall she lived in. It didn't have too many gorgeous decorations, and the color was low. Although it stood tall, it inevitably gave people a dull feeling.

"Your Majesty, Lady Ding Wan will bring you here."

Liu Qian bowed and shouted outside the hall.

Not long after, a gentle voice came from the hall.

"Let her in!"

Hearing this voice, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but shiver, subconsciously straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the hall.

The main hall is not spacious, and the furnishings are simple, but every piece of furniture reveals a profound heritage.

But what surprised Ding Jiayi the most was that in the center of the hall, there was a Buddha statue as tall as a person.

The Buddha statue carved from rosewood wood, with a smile on his face, holds a flower in his right hand, and his eyes are full of compassion.

And in front of this Buddha statue, there stood a person impressively, dressed in blue cloth, without makeup, with a gentle temperament like water.

Ding Jiayi was startled suddenly.

Apart from this person, there is no one else in this hall. Could it be that this person is the queen?
Ding Jiayi had imagined many images of queens, but he did not expect this situation.
