Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 251 The Queen Really Made a Misjudgement

After leaving the gate of Kunning Palace, Huang Ye got rid of Concubine Lin who was pestering her and walked back to Ningyuxuan.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Die just told me quietly that the Queen found the Queen Mother and asked her to help kick you out of Ning Yuxuan. As long as you are kicked out, the sewing room in the palace will be under the control of the Queen Mother from now on." Hongdou said to Huang Ye in a low voice.

"Oh." Huang Ye stopped in surprise: "The Queen has invested a lot of money this time." Who doesn't know that the sewing room in the palace is the place with the most money?

Hongdou curled her lips and said, "If nothing else, we can go find the retired emperor and let him make the decision for us." They, Ning Yuxuan, now have a backer, and she doesn't believe that the empress dowager can be more powerful than the retired emperor.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Huang Ye was upset and she herself didn't know what was going on.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. The Emperor will see the good in you sooner or later." Seeing that Huang Ye kept silent with her head down, Hongdou thought that she was sad because Concubine Wang was serving the emperor, so she tried to comfort her.

"Hongdou, is it that our Ningyuxuan is too behind in the news?" Seeing Hongdou looking at her in confusion, Huang Ye explained: "Just like today, what happened last night, almost everyone knows about it today, but I don't know. What does this mean?"

"That means the information from Ning Yuxuan is not reliable." Hongdou took over the conversation: "Let's go back and ask our aunt what's going on?" It shouldn't be like this. My aunt has been running this palace for so many years, it's impossible that she couldn't even find out this little information.

Huang Ye returned to Ningyuxuan and without even having time to eat breakfast, she called Fanghua to her bedroom. Seeing Fanghua's complicated eyes, what else could she not understand?

"Aunt, did you know this a long time ago?"

"I got the news last night." Fang Hua sighed, "I was going to tell you this when I was combing your hair this morning, but for a moment... I didn't know how to tell you, for fear that you would be sad..."

"Why should I be sad?" Huang Ye was puzzled: "It's normal to have someone to serve you in bed, isn't it?"

"It's not what your Majesty thinks." Fanghua sighed again: "I heard from your Majesty that you have always been on good terms with that Concubine Wang, and that Concubine Wang took advantage of your Majesty's kindness..."

"What do you mean?" Huang Ye's heart was lifted.

"That Concubine Wang might have heard that the emperor would go to the Imperial Garden at night, so she dressed up carefully and pretended to meet the emperor by chance..." Fanghua felt that the queen had really made a mistake this time.

"That Concubine Wang is a scheming person. She deliberately mentioned the Empress to the Emperor, and said how good her relationship with the Empress was and how she knew a lot about her. The Emperor was very interested and went to Chunjin Pavilion with her." This was what Eunuch Yu sent a little eunuch to tell Aunt Fanghua last night.

Huang Ye suddenly felt a little sick. She often called Xu Rou a fool, but wasn't she the biggest fool herself? Wang Yuan was crying hypocritically there, and she was still standing up for her. Could it be that her IQ dropped after she entered the palace?

Wang Yuan! She never thought that the little girl in Chuxiu Palace who was so cautious about her would have such a scheme.

She wanted to serve Huang Ye and didn't blame her, because in this harem, everyone wants to climb up, and she should never, ever use her name Huang Ye to get to the top. When she thought of her speaking affectionately about her friendship with the emperor, Huang Ye's heart was burning with discomfort.

"Aunt should have told me in advance so that I could be prepared." Huang Ye said to Fang Hua while suppressing the urge to vomit. She hadn't eaten in the morning, so even if she wanted to vomit, nothing would come out.

"If I had told Your Majesty in advance, would you have been able to see Concubine Wang's true face?" This child is kind-hearted, and she can only grow up if she is loved.

Yes, if I had known in advance, how could I have known that Wang Yuan was so good at pretending? Look at the dependent look in her eyes in front of me... The more Huang Ye thought about it, the more stupid she felt. Well, this was also a lesson for her to never trust anyone easily again.

"Hongdou, call Xiao Xiangzi in." Huang Ye ordered. She didn't want to eat for the time being. It was not a good idea to always keep some things in mind. It would be better to solve them early so that she would worry less.

"Today we received news that the Queen persuaded the Queen Mother to drive us out of Ningyuxuan in exchange for giving up the sewing room in the palace. You can tell us what you think..." Huang Ye solemnly called the two people together to discuss the matter. This was also the first crisis Huang Ye had encountered since entering the palace.

"I like Ning Yuxuan very much, so I will not move out. And the most important point is that if I am kicked out of Ning Yuxuan this time, I will have no status in the harem in the future." If that really happens, everyone will come to step on her.

"I agree as well. Ningyuxuan is our home and no one can drive us away." Xiao Xiangzi was very excited. He liked Ningyuxuan and it was like his new home. How could he not be angry when he heard that someone wanted to drive them away?

"Your Majesty, this matter is a bit troublesome." Fanghua said calmly: "If it was someone else, there would be some reason to talk about it, but if it was the Queen Mother... she is not a reasonable person, she is used to making trouble. It took a lot of effort for the Queen to take the sewing room from her. I am afraid that this time..."

"If we go and ask the retired emperor for help, I don't believe that the empress dowager can be more powerful than the retired emperor." Hongdou still thought this method was feasible.

"That's a solution." Fanghua nodded approvingly. "However, Your Majesty has to go and plead with the Retired Emperor in person. The Retired Emperor has been hiding from the Empress Dowager in recent years. I'm afraid he would find it troublesome and unwilling to show up."

"It's just a change of residence. In the eyes of the retired emperor, it's a trivial matter. Whether you can convince the retired emperor depends on you." Fanghua said to Huang Ye.

In fact, Huang Ye had thought of asking for help from the emperor earlier, but she just wanted to hear their opinions. Ning Yuxuan does not belong to her alone. Only when everyone participates can they feel a greater sense of belonging here.

"My queen, how about I go and ask my fifth uncle to see if he has any solution?" In Xiao Xiangzi's mind, his fifth uncle is a very capable man. As long as he wants to, there is nothing he can't do.

Huang Ye suddenly had an idea. She only thought of getting these few people involved. If all the trustworthy people were involved, wouldn’t the chances of winning be higher this time?

"Xiao Xiangzi has a good idea. This is just our idea. It may not be perfect. You can ask Manager Sun later to see if he has any good ideas. As the saying goes, many hands make light work."

Huang Ye instructed Hong Dou: "Pack a portion of the cookies that Lung Bean baked yesterday for Xiao Xiangzi, and have him take it to Manager Sun to try."
