Chapter 282: Back to the East Palace
With the Queen's assurance, the Emperor still trusted her ability, so his expression became more relaxed.
But before leaving, the emperor thought of something else. He gently grabbed the queen's hand and repeatedly warned: "By the way, queen, you must be extremely careful with this food. Don't allow anyone to tamper with the food."
.”
The queen blushed at the emperor's sudden intimate move. She lowered her eyes and smiled, and nodded in agreement. This sudden amorous move made the emperor's heart skip a beat, and he also developed a good impression of the queen.
When he left, the emperor was still thinking about waiting for this trip, and that he would spend more time with the queen to reward her for her hard work these days.
Seeing the emperor and empress being so loving and harmonious, Ruan Wanwan felt very happy, otherwise it would be better than seeing the emperor and empress quarreling here.
After the emperor left, Ruan Wanwan also bowed and said goodbye to the Queen, "Queen, I will leave first. There are some things to deal with in the East Palace."
The Empress was in a good mood at this time and did not stay any longer. Her face was as rosy as a blooming peony, which really fulfilled the saying that people feel refreshed during happy events.
Even though the emperor came here specially to assign such a difficult task to her, the queen no longer felt tired at all, and even felt that her whole body was full of strength.
"Okay, Crown Princess, you should go back quickly. It's really not good for me to keep you here all the time."
Ruan Wanwan returned to the East Palace in a sedan chair. As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a series of greetings and saw some maids and eunuchs running around in the distance to inform him that he had returned.
It has to be said that the entire East Palace has become a lot more lively because of Ruan Wanwan's return. After all, the princess and the hostess are not here, and the people below have also slacked off. Now that the real owner is back, they must notify each other.
After Ruan Wanwan came back, under the report of her personal maid Bi'er, she found that the concubine Jiang Huaiyuan kept the East Palace in order.
Before even having a cup of tea, the concubines in the East Palace came to greet the Crown Princess one after another when they heard that the Crown Princess was back. They all dressed up in such a fancy way that Ruan Wanwan couldn't help but frown.
"Crown Princess, you are finally back. I am eating fast and chanting Buddha in the mansion, and finally praying for the Crown Prince and you." Xiao Luxi was dressed very plainly, wearing a moon-white long coat with dark patterns, and only stained her hair.
Just a jade hairpin.
She usually eats fast and prays to Buddha, and doesn't like to go out much. Now she heard that the Crown Princess came back to say hello.
"You're interested." Ruan Wanwan nodded towards her without saying anything. She always felt that Xiao Luxi was wearing a mask and couldn't see through it. However, after following closely, she did see it every day.
Hiding in the house.
"Concubine Jiang, when I was away, you managed the prince's residence very well. I'm very satisfied. Now it's up to you to take care of the residence. I have to help the queen.
I really don’t have time to deal with the Mid-Autumn Festival.” Ruan Wanwan praised Jiang Huaiyuan and expressed that she had high hopes for her.
Jiang Huaiyuan never expected that Ruan Wanwan would actually say this to her directly. She was a little surprised for a moment. She squinted her eyes to see if the princess was telling the truth or if she was just being polite.
After looking at it, Jiang Huaiyuan touched the red gold and colorful butterfly hairpin on her head with her hand, and then raised her chin with a proud face, "Since the Crown Princess appreciates it, I will not give in anymore."
Seeing how arrogant Jiang Huaiyuan was, Ruan Wanwan just smiled faintly and did not pursue anything with her. On the contrary, Qin Yurou, the concubine of Qin, stood beside her and her face changed with anger, and the handkerchief in her hand was torn and deformed.
She didn't expect that the Crown Princess was so brainless and gave up the right to properly manage the inner court to the arrogant and domineering Jiang Huaiyuan.
And she also had some worries in her heart. The Crown Princess had a good temper, and even if she offended her, she would just laugh it off.
But this Jiang Huaiyuan is different. She is narrow-minded. If she doesn't deal with her, she will definitely find an opportunity to make up for it in the future.
Lan Ziyuan, who was next to her, lowered her head and said nothing. She knew that she was from the lowest background and it would be her turn to interfere in such matters no matter what.
In fact, Ruan Wanwan really didn't care who was in charge of the house, but she found that Jiang Huaiyuan was really good at managing the house, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her. After all, she didn't like power at all.
What's the point of giving orders to these women in this house every day? It's really boring to take care of those needles and threads and prevent them from being jealous.
Since Jiang Huaiyuan enjoys being in charge, she also enjoys her leisure time. It would be better to do something with so much time than to waste her time in this inner courtyard.
After Ruan Wanwan came back, Bei Liangye also learned the news. After the game, his feet couldn't help but come to Ruan Wanwan's room.
But when he reached the door, Bei Liangye also paused. He suddenly didn't dare to go in. After thinking for a long time, he found an excuse for himself in his heart. Only then did Bei Liangye step into the room with satisfaction.
At this time, Ruan Wanwan was looking in the mirror and taking off the hairpin ring on her head. Her hair was falling down like a waterfall, like a bunch of black clouds, and it was unbelievably beautiful.
"Your Highness, you are here." Ruan Wanwan saw Bei Liangye coming in through the bronze mirror, and quickly stood up to greet him.
Looking at Ruan Wanwan, who couldn't hide her stunning beauty even without makeup, Bei Liangye felt a sense of joy in her heart, as if a cat's paw was gently scratching her. She was in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After a moment, Bei Liangye reacted. He coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Ahem, I heard that you handed over all the housekeeping rights to Concubine Jiang?"
"Yes, concubine is not happy with these fights for fame and wealth. Since Concubine Jiang has done well, let her continue to control her." Ruan Wanwan nodded.
When Bei Liangye heard what Ruan Wanwan said, he felt even more favorable towards her. Which woman in the harem in the backyard didn't seize the power in her hands and refused to let go. She gave it to herself like Ruan Wanwan.
It's really rare to go out.
"It's just that I was worried that the Jiang family would suddenly gain power and start to have other ideas." Beiliangye also had some concerns of his own.
