Chapter 412: Do one good deed a day, it’s just a piece of cake
Fei Wan didn't know that Bai Yuan was blessing her in a place where she couldn't see.
Even if she knew, she would just nod and smile, and then reward Bai Yuan with a bracelet or a pearl flower.
The passing of the wild geese leaves no trace. For Fei Wan, secretly helping Bai Yuan and activating Bai Yuan when needed are just a piece of cake and a trivial daily matter.
She has always known what she wants to do, and she also knows what kind of support she needs to achieve her goals.
She never stopped making friends with all the concubines and palace maids in the palace, as long as she could.
Just like watering the grass, sprinkle it in every corner, and maybe flowers will bloom somewhere.
"what happened?"
When the sedan chair passed by a roadside flower garden, the palace maids who were doing menial work in the garden bowed their heads in salute to show their respect.
Fei Wan did not continue walking, but stopped and asked what happened.
It was because I had seen from afar that one of the senior palace maids who looked like a consul was scolding one of them.
"Your Highness, it's nothing serious that needs your attention. They're just being slow, and I'm urging them to focus on their work so we can get this forest garden in order as soon as possible."
The senior palace maid stepped forward and replied with a flattering smile on her face.
Fei Wan sat on the sedan chair and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work. However, from afar, I can see that you are working quite attentively. As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work. There is no need to rush to meet the deadline and do things rudely, which will only make things look ugly. If there is a shortage of manpower, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a few more people to help. Are you the leader?"
The senior palace maid hurriedly said yes.
Fei Wan smiled gently at her, "You lead people to do work, and you have to answer to your superiors, so it's inevitable that you have more worries. However, you need to be strict and lenient with your subordinates in order to get things done. Go back to the kitchen and get a bowl of white fungus soup. It will be paid from the Chunxi Palace account. This is my reward for your hard work. Also, get two plates of cakes and share them among everyone. Remember, everyone gets a share."
"Yes! Thank you, Empress Zhao! May your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
The senior palace maid quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
From the first few sentences, it was clear that Fei Wan did not allow her to scold her subordinates. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not expect Fei Wan to say in public that she had worked hard and even gave her soup, which was a great honor.
How could she not be happy?
The young palace maids behind her were even happier after hearing Fei Wan's words. Not only did Concubine Zhao speak up for them, she also gave them cakes. Concubine Zhao was so kind.
So everyone gave thanks together.
Fei Wan simply smiled. "You don't need to thank me. I want to thank you for taking such good care of the garden. It's a delight to behold. Your Majesty must be delighted every day as he walks along the elegant path lined with flowers and trees. Your Majesty's joy is the joy of all of us in the harem."
After hearing this, everyone was convinced.
I also feel proud of it and feel that the work in my hands has become meaningful.
After Fei Wan's sedan chair had gone away, everyone continued to work and whispered to each other, praising Empress Zhao Fei's beauty and kindness.
Where can you find such a generous and kind master? The palace maids serving in Chunxi Palace are so lucky. Look at those eunuchs and palace maids following the sedan chair. They all look healthy and energetic. They are more comfortable to look at than the palace maids in other places!
This is Feiwan’s “easy task”.
She does this every day.
Like a heartless man wandering around in the flower garden, he was affectionate everywhere, but he was not sincere at all. But the heartless man was after the woman's body and soul, while she was after more. In addition to the palace maids, she even did not let go of the eunuchs, and she would take advantage of anyone she saw.
Not only does she want everyone to work diligently and honestly, but she also wants everyone to praise her, admire her, and respect her. In this way, every time she encounters difficulties, more and more people will side with her!
So the reason why Bai Yuan was able to persuade Qingyun to change her mind this time was not because she was lucky, but because she never forgot to pave the way for herself!
"Oh, my dear sister, why are you here? It's not that I don't welcome you, it's just that your injuries haven't healed yet, so I should be the one to see you."
Fei Wan took a detour to Lincui Palace, and when Concubine Kang heard about it, she went straight to the door to greet her.
He personally helped Fei Wan down from the sedan chair, fearing that she would get bumped or hurt.
Concubine Shun and Concubine Kang were discussing matters here and handling complicated affairs in the palace, so they also took it out.
He and Concubine Kang supported Fei Wan on both sides and helped her all the way to the palace. They were more diligent and careful than when they served the empress dowager before.
The emperor stayed in Chunxi Palace again last night.
Fei Wan continued to show favor even when she was injured, so how could they dare to neglect her?
All the palace servants who were waiting inside and outside the palace were sent away, and the whole focus was on receiving Fei Wan.
Fei Wan was invited to the main seat, and she accepted it because she couldn't refuse.
"I was just bored after being cooped up in the house for so long that I decided to come out for some fresh air and a walk. I decided to come here on a whim, but I was afraid I might disturb my two sisters' meeting."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. There's nothing important going on lately. We're just renovating the palace and hiring new staff. We're really worried about it, and only with your coming can we rest in peace."
Concubine Kang served tea to Fei Wan.
Concubine Shun handed Feiwan some fruits and snacks.
Fei Wan thanked them embarrassedly, "It's all because of my constant injuries that you two sisters have to endure. Otherwise, I could at least help with some trivial matters."
Concubine Kang smiled and said, "We are all hoping that you will recover soon! If you get better soon, we may not need to handle palace affairs together. After Concubine Yue is crowned as the Queen, she will naturally take on these responsibilities. But we can go to the opera together. That Yinzhu in your palace brought me something last time, and I happened to hear her humming a few lines of opera tunes. She sang very well. When the time comes, let her dress up with the people in my palace. I just happen to be in need of a good Hua Dan!"
There are not only Hua Dan, but also Daoma Dan. The Jasmine here is also good at fighting. Fei Wan thought, but I can’t give you Jasmine.
Concubine Shun already had Qingyun, and Concubine Kang just happened to be in need of a good informant. Fei Wan said, "Since you like Yinzhu, I'll send her over to learn opera singing from you. She was always naughty when I was with her, and I have enough staff in the palace now. As long as you like her, that's all."
When Concubine Kang heard this, her face lit up with joy. "Really? Are you really willing to send her over?"
Fei Wan smiled and said, "Of course, why would I try to coax my sister? But there's one thing. If you can't stand it, just send her back to me later. Don't be embarrassed."
"what?"
"That girl is a bit silly, and her words and actions are incoherent. Even Cao Bin can't stand her and hides when he sees her."
Concubine Kang laughed heartily: "How can I be as stupid as you? Don't worry, just send her here. I will provide her with food and lodging, as long as she studies opera well!"
Concubine Kang was determined to enjoy life and became more and more unrestrained.
So the matter was finalized.
Fei Wan said, "I will definitely tell her to listen to you in everything. You helped me, so consider it as my reward to you. Please don't despise it."
"I'm so happy that I can't express it in words!" Concubine Kang was indeed very optimistic about Yinzhu.
The two of them were talking animatedly, and Concubine Shun had been unable to get a word in. Now, she was finally able to interject, and she asked with a smile, "When did Sister Kang help Sister Zhao? Tell me about it, and I'll be happy too."
Fei Wan just looked at Concubine Shun and smiled.
"Sister Shunfei, you should be happy together. Sister Kang is not only helping me, but also you and Sister Yue."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Shun was puzzled.
But suddenly I reacted.
When the note fell from her sleeve and was stared at by Lan Zhaoyi, Concubine Kang arrived and immediately sent her maid Qingyun to the Palace Administration Office.
When Qingyun was brought back from the Palace Administration Office, she easily changed her story in public, saying that she was coerced by Lan Zhaoyi...
Concubine Shun paused and looked at Concubine Kang in surprise.
Then he waved his hand and dismissed all the palace servants standing in the hall.
Then he asked, "Sister Kang sent Qingyun away... Could it be..."
Concubine Kang groaned, "Sister Zhao, why are you telling her this? I just moved my lips and said a few words."
Concubine Shun immediately restrained her expression and bowed to Concubine Kang.
"It was just a few words for my sister, but it helped me a lot. If my sister hadn't sent Qingyun to the Palace Administration Office and persuaded her to change her mind, I would have been in even greater trouble..."
"Hey, don't thank me!"
Concubine Kang quickly dodged and pushed Fei Wan out.
"She secretly sent someone to tell me that she wanted to send Qingyun away alone. As for who persuaded Qingyun, it has nothing to do with me."
Concubine Shun bowed to Fei Wan again to express her gratitude.
Fei Wan sat upright, accepted the greeting, then smiled and said in a close tone: "Sister, why should you be so polite? We are all directors together and have known each other for many days. Naturally, our relationship is deeper than that with other people in the palace. Seeing you suffer injustice, how could I stand idly by? I believe that if it were you who encountered trouble, you would also lend a hand, right? You are also lucky. I just asked the people from the Palace Administration Office to persuade Qingyun and find out the reason. Who knew that Bai Yuan, formerly from Fengyi Palace, was delivering clothes to the Palace Administration Office. When she encountered this matter, she persuaded Qingyun for a while, and who knew it worked. But these are minor details. The most important thing is that Qingyun and sister have been together for many years, and she can't bear to really betray her."
"Sister Zhao, although I am not very talented and may not be able to help you, if you need anything in the future, I will do my best and will never let our friendship down."
Shun Fei's eyes were filled with tears as she made a firm promise.
Fei Wan nodded with a smile.
Concubine Shun was more discerning than Concubine Kang, and must have known that she was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes. Perhaps her gratitude to her was also mixed with a sense of fear.
But it's okay.
What she sought was never friendship, but alliance.
With both kindness and force, and with the help of Qingyun, Concubine Shun became hers from then on.
In this palace, more allies mean more paths, and more powerful enemies mean more obstacles. If she wants to make a move in the front court, she must first stabilize the harem.
This is her base camp.
After staying for a while and chatting about some insignificant palace trivia, which deepened their relationship, Fei Wan left Lincui Palace and went to Changle Palace.
Concubine Yue was writing a letter to her family, dictating it while Linglong took pen to paper.
When he heard that Fei Wan had arrived, he didn't put away the half-written letter, but directly let Fei Wan into the inner hall.
"I heard you went to the Palace Administration Office to see Consort Lan."
Fei Wan smiled: "Sister, your ears and eyes are really sharp."
He went straight to the soft couch where Concubine Yue was lying and lay down at the other end.
