The harem’s matters had always been related to the previous dynasty. A little bit of trouble could cause some families to make a big move. After all, it was related to the family’s interests. Otherwise, those n.o.ble families would not have squeezed their heads out to send their sons into the palace.
Now, Feng Jun had angered the Empress.
Many of the officials had ideas in their hearts. They wanted to send their sons into the palace, and their eyes were aimed at the throne in the middle Palace.
In the residence of the a.s.sistant Minister of personnel.
A middle-aged woman dressed in embroidered clothes stood in the study, her eyes occasionally shining with a sharp light. Her facial features were shrewd, and one could tell at a glance that she was an old fox who mingled in the officialdom.
The a.s.sistant Minister of the Ministry of official personnel was called he Yuhua. Her official position was not small, but she was not satisfied with her current position. Her hands stretched far and wide, and she even placed spies in the palace.
He Yuhua was not disloyal.
He was just too greedy.
Because she had placed spies in the palace, she had once inadvertently obtained a portrait of the current Royal concubine, who was Wen Xian.
He made an unexpected discovery.
This Royal concubine looked 60 – 70% similar to her youngest son. Although Luo ‘er was not as beautiful as that one, her divine charm could almost pa.s.s off as the real one.
Through the spies in the palace, she also found out the reason for the Empress’s anger.
It was because the Royal concubine had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Emperor.
He Yuhua, who knew about this, was so shocked that he almost broke the cup in his hand.
From the way the Empress handled things this time, he Yuhua deduced that the Emperor probably had feelings for the Royal concubine. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been locked up in the Imperial prison for committing a crime as serious as murdering the Emperor.
Hence, he Yuhua had an idea.
The Royal concubine had done such a thing. Even if the Emperor did not execute him, it was impossible for him to forgive him. After all, as a woman, and as an Emperor, Her Majesty’s dignity could not be trampled on. She would not allow herself to forgive someone who wanted to kill her.
And her Luo ‘er looked so much like the Royal concubine. If she sent her to the emperor’s side at this time to accompany her and comfort her from time to time … At that time, the position of the Royal concubine would be in his hands.
The a.s.sistant Minister’s eyes flashed.
If everything went well, her he family would definitely rise to the next level.
Thinking of this, the a.s.sistant Minister of personnel said to his attendant,”Invite the little Lord over.”
After a short while.
He Luo pushed open the door of the study, and greeted his mother, who was sitting in the main seat. A smile appeared on his fair and beautiful face, two dimples appeared on his cheeks. He opened his mouth and asked:”Mother, is there something you need me for?”
Seeing such an outstanding young son.
The a.s.sistant Minister of the Ministry of official personnel Affairs “eyes showed a touch of relief and pride. She put down the book in her hand, walked in front of he Luo with her hands behind her back, raised her hand to Pat his shoulder, and asked gently.
“Luo ‘er, mother asks you, are you willing to enter the palace and serve by the emperor’s side?”
He Luo raised his eyes in disbelief, his face paled a bit, his fingers that were holding his sleeve tightened.
He was obviously unwilling to do so.
But he Luo knew his mother’s personality, if she hadn’t decided on this matter, she would never have come to find him.
He Luo’s face instantly darkened a bit, but still holding on to the last bit of hope, he weakly expressed his position, and said in a low voice:”Mother, I, I already have a fiancee. How can 1 enter the palace again?”
The a.s.sistant Minister of personnel frowned.
“What fiancee? how can your useless cousin be worthy of you?” This kind of
verbal engagement is just a talk, it doesn’t count..”
