Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 451:
Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Doing Better Than My Palace
The eunuch said with a smile, “Actually, this is to be delivered to Prosperity Palace. It’s not that we want to hide it from the Princess Consort, but Her Highness in Prosperity Palace has a big temper. We servants dare not speak too much. We hope the Princess Consort won’t blame us.”
“How can I not understand? Just a few days ago, I was summoned to Prosperity Palace and scolded.”
The eunuch laughed.
Who believes that?
The status of the Princess Consort is even higher than that of Concubine Xian. If Concubine Xian is arrogant enough to scold, can you bear not scolding them? As the eunuch had this thought in his heart, he said with a smile, “Princess Consort’s mercy can understand the difficulties of us servants, and we are grateful.”
“I just asked casually. Alright, I won’t delay you any longer. Go ahead. I’ll keep this flower. I’m not troubling you am I?” she smiled.
“Oh my, what are you talking about, Your Highness? It’s just a flower. It is this flower’s fortune to be favored by the Princess Consort. Even if we servants want such good fortune, we can’t have it!”
“You’re quite a talker, Eunuch. What’s your name?” Jiang Ning glanced at the eunuch.
The appearance is strong and stout, but the eyes are clever and spirited.
The eunuch hurriedly replied, “In response to the Princess Consort, this servant’s name is Wu Quan.”
“Are you serving in the Prosperity Palace?”
“No, this servant is in the Internal Affairs Bureau.”
“Oh, why not come to my place? I’m in need of a steward,” Jiang Ning pinched the rose and said with a smile, “If you don’t mind, that is.”
Wu Quan was both shocked and delighted, “What merits do this servant have?” Working in the Internal Affairs Bureau is just for odd jobs and running errands. If he becomes a steward in the East Palace, it would be like soaring through the sky for them.
Now as the steward of the Crown Prince’s wife in the East Palace, he will become the steward of the Empress in the future.
Who else in the harem could compare?
Wu Quan has been in the palace for several years and has never thought that such a big pie would fall from the sky and knock him out directly.
Two eunuchs beside the cart who had been pushing it, showed envy and jealousy.
They only hate themselves for not answering the Princess Consort’s question first.
Jiang Ning laughed, “Alright then, if you’re willing, I’ll have someone inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs and transfer you over.”
“Yes, this servant is indebted to the Princess Consort!” Wu Quan immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Jiang Ning nodded and walked away with the rose in hand.
Wu Quan stood there, still in a dream.
Another eunuch beside him exclaimed enviously, “Wu Quan, your fortune has arrived, and nothing can block it. Once you go to the East Palace and serve the Princess Consort, your rise will be unstoppable. Don’t forget to support your former companions when it’s time.”
Wu Quan came back to his senses and smiled, “Of course, I won’t forget any of your benefits.”
Jiang Ning walked leisurely through the palace, occasionally encountering a minor concubine and greeted them warmly, inviting them to eat at the East Palace.
The harem knew that the newly arrived Princess Consort was beautiful, kind-hearted, and gentle, treating even the lowest-ranked palace maid kindly, comforting those who were aggrieved.
If she liked someone, they were invited to work in the East Palace.
For a time, wherever Jiang Ning went, there were sounds of greetings, salutations, and pleasantries.
“You’ve only been in the palace for a short time, and you’re doing better than I am.”
As Jiang Ning walked to a japonica flower in the Imperial Garden, she heard a lazy and elegant voice.
She hurriedly went around and saw her own mother-in-law, Concubine Jin, sitting on a swing, her clothes fluttering, weighing the swing down to the point where it could barely move.
This Concubine Jin… is becoming more and more plump.
Concubine Jin looked at her, “What are you looking at?”
