Part 72: Bingyue Palace Jokes

Thanks to the events at the banquet and the chaos in the palace, Liu Erniang became the subject of heated discussion among the servants.

The news spread like the wind blowing in the middle of spring to small areas all over Bingyue. In the palace, they spoke as if Liu Erniang was a mortal who no longer had a host.

How not, he entered the palace after his father was deposed. Hoping to become the woman who holds the highest throne, she falls when her own title has not been established.

Her father is forced into retirement, her mother becomes a regular mistress, her title is suspended and her first night falls apart. What could be more embarrassing than this?

“What's Xian High Concubine? She was only Consort Xian whose title was suspended. His Majesty even left him without saying anything,” said a servant in charge of taking care of the palace garden. Together with the other servants, they were both talking about that day.

“Consort Xian's reputation is indeed quite bad. If not for Master Liu's protection, he would have long been the joke of the imperial city. In my opinion, Princess Empress Changle is a thousand times better than her. He even gave a big surprise to all of us,” said another.

“Are you guys so relaxed? Looks like you guys have forgotten the rules and need to be reminded again. How many times do I have to tell, talking about an employer is a gross offense?” ask for a voice behind the servants.

They immediately looked. Auntie Zhang of the Inner Palace Division stood up and stared ferociously at them.  This servant clearly knew the rules in the palace and it was very clear that talking about the master, especially the imperial concubines was a very grave sin.

They could be put to death if their words reached the ears of Emperor Baili. Auntie Zhang was very angry and she was eager to punish these servants.

“Supervisor! Take them to the Inner Palace Division and the law according to the rules!” exclaimed Aunt Zhang.

The servants kneeled down to beg for mercy. However, they were so shocked when they saw the two majestic female figures standing behind Auntie Zhang, watching them without interest.

Consort Dowager Sun and Empress Dowager Ming sighed they were tired. It's not the fault of the servants to talk like this.

Yesterday's incident was a huge one. It was only natural that the servants could not help but gossip. But they still have to remember who they are and what they are talking about.

So, the two people could only let the bodyguards bring the servants to be punished. As Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Ming could not allow negative issues to spread and persist for long in the palace.

Consort Xian's presence was quite controversial in the harem because all this time the concubines of her son had been competing with each other. Present one more concubine, with a strong background and smart playing strategy, then the days in the Harem Palace will no longer be the same.

“Aih, problems come non-stop. When do you think this palace has become so crowded?” ask Empress Dowager Ming. Consort Dowager Sun just chuckled.

“Actually there is never a day of peace in the palace. It's just that we've forgotten it and assume everything is normal,” replied Consort Dowager Sun.

His concern is not really that much. Consort Sun's widow could have closed her eyes and ears to not see or hear anything like her previous years.

She was only the widow of Empress Dowager Ming's father-in-law, whose power was not much and should no longer interfere in world affairs. Were it not for his son and daughter-in-law acting out, he would not have interfered.

The two women then sat in the imperial garden. Some waiters came with snacks and tea. Spring is still in its early stages, the flowers there have just bloomed.

Usually at this time, they would hold a small banquet and invite the girls of noble families and officials here. But because the situation was not stable, the routine banquet was forced to be postponed.

“What are your plans to arrange for your first grandchild?” ask Dowager Consort Sun.

Empress Dowager Ming took a sip of the aroma of her tea for a moment.

“I'll have Yan’er give him the title. After all, he remains an imperial descendant and his eldest son.”

There wasn't much hope he had for this. Empress Dowager Ming only wanted her first granddaughter to live well and be recognized as an imperial family.

Although she was born not from a concubine, but rather a woman from outside and her mother's status was probably of the lower classes, yet inside her body was flowing blood from the emperor and she bore the Baili clan. Even if he was the son of an entertainer, he still had the right to be part of the imperial family.

Baili Wuyuan is a kid. Empress Dowager Ming was still able to organize it and educate it by protocol in the imperial family. If educated well, it was possible that Baili Wuyuan could become a smart prince.

So when his son's concubine was unable to provide a child, then Baili Wuyuan could be prepared to become a future successor to the throne if necessary.

you Empress Ming nodded her head investigating the words of Consort Dowager Sun.

“Stupid! That kind of thing you can't handle?”

Liu Erniang slapped his servant many times in anger. The servant's face was almost swollen and reddened. Liu Erniang could not hold back his emotions because this servant was not so good at dampening bad talk about him.

As a servant, he should have been blocking all the bad things about his master despite risking his life. But, this servant is so stupid and useless!

“Please, Mistress Consort. Too many people talk about it, low servants like servants can not silence them at once,” said the maid while prostrating.

Liu Erniang clenched both his hands. Right now, the people he was desperate to get rid of were King Changle and his Empress Princess. The title of High Concubine who was suspended was all because of the actions of the couple.

They were very compact to drop him when he was at a very high peak. It felt like Liu Erniang wanted to chop their bodies and throw them into the wolf cage.

Goddamnit! Liu Qingyi was truly a thorn in the flesh for him!

Liu Erniang was never out of sight and supervision of the woman. Each of his actions could be known quickly and his reply was even twice as severe.

The frantic grudge between Liu Qingyi and the Liu Family had been deeply rooted and the woman would never let go once.

He is sure, last night was also the case. An ordinary servant or bodyguard could not possibly have such a crazy idea. Liu Erniang simply did not know how Qingyi could carry such a large copper furnace without being caught.

The only thing that is possible is the involvement of King Changle. The couple conspired to ruin it!

“Liu Qingyi, I will destroy you!” snarl.

The servant grew even more frightened as he accidentally saw the look in the eye killing Liu Erniang. The servant was unlucky to have gotten such a ruthless employer as Concubine Xian.

“Mrs Concubine, if Madam wants to sit stably, Madam must become strong first,” said the waiter hesitated. He must have licked the employer to make his life safe.

“Oh? Then you want to try it?”

“Ha-servant is willing to follow the orders of Mistress Consort and swear to be faithful. Please Mistress Concubine forgive the life of a servant,” beg the servant.

He was so frightened because Liu Erniang really looked terrible. He had even held onto his golden hairpin and pointed his sharp tip at the servant's face.

“Go! Use your brain to silence them!”

“Good, Mistress Concubine,” then at the waiter retreated uneasily.

When he came out, another servant approached him and asked him how he was doing. But, before he answered, the maid had already fainted first.

Liu Erniang threw his hairpin against the paper wall until the paper was torn. His gaze darkened, as if a demon had possessed his body.

Now, his father had already lost his power and he was alone in this palace. If he wanted to survive and take revenge, Liu Erniang could only rely on himself. He will not allow himself to be a joke.

“It's time they returned the favor. Well, since you guys love jokes so much, then I'll give you a fancy show!”

Then, Liu Erniang laughed out loud like a madman
