When Jiang Huaiyuan heard this sentence, she said "ouch".

"Today, the female officials in the court came to ask me and said that according to the ancestral system, the other palaces in the court should be packed up and prepared to stay there after the emperor chooses his concubine. But I thought to myself, the matter of choosing a concubine now

There is no shadow yet. Whether we should clean it up or not, I have to ask you, the queen, to say something." When Jiang Huaiyuan talked about this matter, she looked a little embarrassed.

After Ruan Wanwan heard Jiang Huaiyuan say this, she was suddenly stunned.

Yes, there is no way she can escape the seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard.

"Since we have the old calendar ahead of us, let's do everything according to the old calendar." Ruan Wanwan said with a sigh.

But when talking about this, Jiang Huaiyuan was a little reluctant.

"It's not that troublesome to clean up, but the crux of the problem is that the preparations for His Majesty's enthronement ceremony are just now. If we have to start cleaning up the harem impatiently, it will cost a lot.

That's a lot." Jiang Huaiyuan sighed, holding two account books in her hands when she came.

When she saw the account book, Ruan Wanwan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the harem had spent so much recently.

After flipping through it casually, the numbers on the account book can be described as shocking.

Although I know that the royal family has always been extravagant, but the level of extravagance is breathtaking.

"Now that you've found me, it means you already have an idea in mind. Why don't you talk about it first?" Ruan Wanwan looked up at Jiang Huaiyuan and motioned for her to continue.

Jiang Huaiyuan nodded: "Now there is only one empress in the harem. Fengyi Palace has been tidied up properly, and there is no need to tidy up anything else. As for the other palaces, the late emperor's concubines live in them, and now they have all moved to the North Courtyard.

Go, those palaces just need a little cleaning, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Ruan Wanwan nodded slightly.

She remembered again that she heard the conversation between the two palace maids when she was in the back garden today.

As the lord of the world, Bei Liangye will definitely have seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards in the future. However, she, the queen of the middle palace, can only do not be jealous or angry, which is really sad.

Jiang Huaiyuan saw that Ruan Wanwan's mood was not quite right, so she once again asked Qiuyue to go ahead with the other maids.

"When there were concubines in the house before, I never saw you with such a sad expression, but now your expression is really not right. Did something happen?" Jiang Huaiyuan asked softly.

This matter had been on Ruan Wanwan's mind for some days. Looking at Jiang Huaiyuan's concerned look, she finally couldn't help but speak out.

"In order to be able to come back and return to His Majesty, the price I paid was that I would never be a mother again in this life. But Your Majesty is the lord of the world and wants to spread branches and branches of the royal family. Even if His Majesty wants to have only me in the harem in the future.

There are so many people in the world, and the court officials will not allow it." Ruan Wanwan said sadly.

Jiang Huaiyuan finally understood why she always felt that Ruan Wanwan had a strange look on her face recently, as if she was always grieving alone.

I originally thought that Ruan Wanwan was blaming herself for dragging down Bei Liangye, but she didn't expect that she had already thought about it so much.

Jiang Huaiyuan sighed softly: "Does Your Majesty know about this matter now?"

"I haven't had a good talk with her since I woke up. Besides, I don't know how to talk to him about this matter, so I've been delaying it until now." Ruan Wanwan

His tone was full of disappointment.

Jiang Huaiyuan's face darkened: "This matter is a big one, it would be better for the Queen to explain it to His Majesty as soon as possible."

With how much Bei Liangye loves Ruan Wanwan, even if they don't have any more children in the future, they probably won't dislike Ruan Wanwan for this.

But when it came to talking about this matter with Bei Liangye, Ruan Wanwan suddenly felt that she didn't know how to speak.

"Even if Your Majesty is not interested in going to the draft for your sake or for political reasons, even the Queen Mother will not agree to it in the long run," Jiang Huaiyuan reminded.

Yes, Ruan Wanwan feels sad when he thinks about this.

Although the Queen Mother usually likes her, but for such a major matter involving a century-old foundation, the Queen Mother will not let go easily.

"Perhaps the Queen Mother will issue an imperial edict and ask me to handle it together with him?" Ruan Wanwan smiled wryly and looked at Jiang Huaiyuan and said.

I don’t know what’s going on in the past few days. No matter how busy Bei Liangye is, he won’t be so busy that he doesn’t even have time to see Ruan Wanwan or have a meal with her.

Even Jiang Huaiyuan has been keenly aware that Bei Liangye seems to be much colder towards Ruan Wanwan.

And this change seems to have started since Ruan Wanwan went to see Anael that night.

Combining what Ruan Wanwan and Anal said that night, Jiang Huaiyuan probably guessed why Bei Liangye was unhappy.

"No matter what, you still have to talk to His Majesty about all these things. At least you want to make His Majesty feel that you care about him." Jiang Huaiyuan reminded Ruan Wanwan again and again.

But there are so many things going on in the harem now that Ruan Wanwan is not in the mood to think about these miscellaneous things.

Although she said yes on her lips, it was as if she didn't take this matter to her heart at all.

Jiang Huaiyuan still had a lot of tedious things to do here, and it was too late to stay with Ruan Wanwan, so after a few instructions, she left in a hurry.

Ruan Wanwan just watched as the female officials from each palace brought a bunch of messy things over for her to review and sign.

I originally thought this day would be extremely boring, but with so much busyness, I was busy until the evening.

Before dinner, Xiao Luxi came over to check up on Ruan Wanwan as usual to see if she was feeling better.

While watching, he saw Bei Liangye suddenly coming over.

Ruan Wanwan thought that Bei Liangye still wouldn't come over today. Ruan Wanwan had even asked someone to prepare some side dishes for dinner.

"Qiuyue, go and ask the kitchen to prepare some food. Remember to ask for a bowl of stomach-warming soup. Your Majesty is not in good health. He needs some hot soup to warm his stomach." Ruan Wanwan added.

She called Qiuyue to make arrangements.

After hearing the order, Qiuyue immediately went to tell the small kitchen what Ruan Wanwan needed.
