Chapter 995 The envy of the concubines

Qiongniang and the others happily took the child back.

 Not long after, the late emperor’s concubines all got the news.

 Each one's eyes burst out with fire.

How come they didn't think of this move and became the adoptive mother of the emperor's brother. When the emperor's brother becomes an adult and is crowned king, he will be able to follow him out of the palace to provide for his old age.

At that time, not only would there be no shortage of glory and wealth, but they would also be free. What is the difference between them living in the palace now and living in prison?

 When she heard the news, Concubine Hui was gathering with several concubines to play mahjong.

Now that the late emperor is gone, they don't need to compete for favor, and even dressing up has become meaningless.

Living in this remote palace, dressing up and showing off to ghosts?

 We are much closer than before.

　　A nobleman played a card bitterly, "Why did Concubine Fang get this clever sect? If I had known about it, I should have asked the Empress to raise the emperor's younger brother to me."

 Another one sneered: "Do you think you can raise it if you want?"

“Fang Taifei has a high position. Besides, she is an old man from the time when the late Emperor was staying in his residence. Her relationship with the Queen is not comparable to that of you and me.”

Concubine Hui sighed in her heart. When she entered the palace, she showed goodwill to the former crown concubine and now the queen, but she had no chance to show her kindness further.

At this time, someone sighed quietly, "Are we just going to die of old age in this palace?"

Concubine Hui Gui was silent for a long time, "Be content. It's because of the Emperor's mercy that we can still live in the palace. All the concubines with low status in the previous dynasty had their heads shaved and were sent to be sisters-in-law. Do you want to go?"

I think no one wants to be a nun. The food and clothing here are better than a nunnery. I heard that those who are nuns have to fetch their own water and cook their own food. It’s really impossible to survive.

One person couldn't help but said, "I knew it earlier..."

Had I known that the late emperor had such a short life, he should not have entered the palace.

Everyone was silent for a while, and the nobleman whispered: "To be honest, the queen's life is really good. The emperor doesn't even have a concubine now. I heard that the ministers wrote letters proposing to choose a concubine, but the emperor rejected it."

“It’s really worth it for a woman to be a queen.”

Concubine Hui Gui glanced at her and said slowly: "You only saw the thief eating meat but not the thief being beaten."

“Did you know that when the emperor was conquering the world, the queen and her maids went to the battlefield together, and it was really killing people.”

None of these concubines knew about this, and all of them stared wide-eyed, "The Queen is so beautiful, she looks delicate and frail, how can she still kill someone?"

 The other one covered his mouth, "Killing? God, how could you do it?"

Hui Guifei chuckled lightly, "The Queen is not an ordinary woman. If you want to have her fate, you must first have her ability."

Concubine Hui Gui had long known this from her father, which was why she showed her kindness to Gu Fei as soon as she entered the palace.

Everyone said nothing and played cards silently.

 Not two days later, Gu Fei went to court for the second time.

 At the court, there was not only harmony, but at least no one was complaining about women not being able to participate in politics.

Gu Fei took the opportunity to propose setting up a bank under the control of the imperial court.

Some of the ministers' eyes shone, thinking that it would be great to establish a bank, as it would allow them to appoint close associates, while others began to think deeply about the Queen's intention in establishing the bank.

 In the end, everyone felt that this was not a big deal. After discussing it for a while, no one raised any objections.

 Xiao Yu was very satisfied and felt completely relieved about Gu Fei's supervision.

Soon after, fifty thousand troops and horses were ordered and headed for Shanhaiguan.
