Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm - Chapter 995: The Envy of the Concubines

Qiongniang and others happily took the child back.

It didn’t take long for the late emperor’s concubines to get the news.

Fire spewed out of their eyes.

Why didn’t they expect this move to become the adoptive mother of the emperor’s younger brother? In the future, when the emperor’s younger brother reaches adulthood 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 was the difference between them living in the palace and living in prison?

When she heard the news, Concubine Hui was playing mahjong with several concubines.

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?

Everyone is much closer than before.

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

Another sneered: “Do you think you can raise them if you want?”

“Concubine Fang has a high status. Besides, she is an old man who lived when the late Emperor was in hiding. 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 was silent for a long time, “Be content. It’s because of the Emperor’s kindness that we can still live in the palace. All the low-ranking concubines 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…”

If I had 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 kill someone?”

The other one covered his mouth, “Killing someone? Oh my god, how could he do it?”

Concubine Hui 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.

Within two days, Gu Fei went to court for the second time.

In the court, not only was there harmony, at least no one was making excuses for women not being allowed 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 set up a bank, as it would allow them to place confidants, while others began to think deeply about the Queen’s intention in setting up a bank.

In the end, everyone felt that this was not a big deal, and after a while of discussion, no one raised any objections.

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

Soon they ordered 50,000 troops and horses and headed for Shanhaiguan.
