Chapter 2 — The Emperor Favors His Royal Highness, I Make Him No Longer Emperor

"That's why we let a woman who has never performed a grand ceremony, and who hasn't even gone through the entire family law, come to manage the harem on behalf of this palace?"

I put down the tea cup. The voice is not loud. But every word is extremely clear.

“Is the Emperor confused, or is your courage too big?”

Lam Nhuoc Lan's face immediately changed. The palace maid behind her was about to step up and help her up. I just glanced over. The palace maid immediately stiffened in place, not daring to move another step.

“Please, Your Majesty, please calm down your anger.”

Lam Nhuoc Lan bit her lower lip, her eyes gradually turned red, and her voice also carried a bit of self-pity.

“I only work according to the Emperor's will.”

"If there's anything that's not done right, I hope you can advise me."

Her words were truly airtight without any gaps. Just brought the Emperor out to force me. Just showed a humble and humble attitude. Outsiders looking in, I'm afraid they will only see me, the Queen, taking advantage of her position to bully others. I looked at her red eyes. Suddenly felt funny. This trick. It's useless to me.

“Stand up.”

I'm too lazy to continue watching her act. Lam Nhuoc Lan stood up. The corners of his eyes still held a layer of pale tears. Those tears dotted her meticulously made-up face, making her look even more fragile and pitiful.

"I heard that today your highness returns to the palace and specially ordered someone to prepare a dinner party. I also hope that your highness will respect you."

"No need."

I refused emphatically.

"What this palace wants to eat is up to Phuong Nghi palace. There's no need for Duc Tu palace to bother worrying."

In the depths of Lam Nhuoc Lan's eyes, a gloomy light flashed. But she still maintained the same gentle and accommodating tone.

"Then I won't bother you to rest anymore."

"Ah yes, His Majesty said he would go to Duc Tu Palace to dine tonight."

"You told me to send a message to your majesty that you will come to visit your majesty tomorrow."

“This palace knows.”

I conveniently picked up the book on the table and opened it. I don't even bother to lift my eyelids. Lam Nhuoc Lan stood in place and waited a while longer. After confirming that I would no longer pay attention to her, she bowed down and bowed. Then, leading four maids behind him, he turned and left. Ngoc Tran lowered his voice:

“Your highness, this noble lady is not easy to deal with.”

"In just two months, I bribed all over the six palaces."

“Even in Phuong Nghi palace…”

"Even in Phuong Nghi palace, there are people of hers. Do you think this palace doesn't know?"

"Mom replaced that painting, and the two palace maids just kneeling on the left, are both from Duc Tu palace."

I flipped through the book and calmly said:

"This palace has only been gone for half a year, and the people in Phuong Nghi palace have almost completely changed."

“Lady, then why do you still keep them by your side?”

“If you chase away one group, another group will come.”

We turn each page of the book. Spending within the supply has tripled. For each expense, it is clearly stated that the Noble Concubine is temporarily paying on behalf of the six palaces.

"Compared to letting her stuff you in other places, it's better than putting it right under your eyelids."

“If you want to look, just look female."

“If you don't want to look, then…”

I raised my head and looked at the sky outside the temple, which was gradually getting darker.

"If the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't bother."

When dinner was served. I have gone through all the books during the time you temporarily assisted in managing the six palaces. Three errors. It must be six places. She's also really smart. Don't dare touch big accounts. Only specializes in playing tricks in small, trivial places. This adds another hundred taels. That place is eighty taels less. All these sporadic amounts added up, yet there were three thousand taels of silver flying without wings. Three thousand taels. How many people can she feed? How many things can be done? I gave the books to Ngoc Tran.

“Put it away carefully.”

“Lady, these things…”

“Can't use it for now.”

"If you bring it out now, the Emperor will only say that this palace deliberately targeted her."

"Wait until she herself turns these small holes into a big hole, this palace will invite her to fill it up."

Ngoc Tran nodded.
