Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 154 Detailed Planning

The reason why Bai Shuang was brought along was naturally because this girl was useful.

Yao Jinse had actually been observing this girl for some time. In addition to her clean background, she also discovered that Bai Shuang had one real advantage.

She doesn't lie.

In Yao Jinse's opinion, there is actually a big difference between keeping a tight mouth and not telling lies. Some things should be said and those that should not be said should not be said. This is the way to survive in the harem.

Bai Shuang has been in Yuxiu Palace for such a long time, and basically everyone dislikes her. Even during the time when Concubine Yi and Yao Jinse were unhappy, Bai Shuang was able to hear some news from Concubine Yi's maids. The reason why she is so popular with everyone is not just because of her sweet mouth.

This girl was able to speak words that touched people's hearts, which was similar to Yao Jinse's ability to make the imperial concubine happy. However, she had an advantage over Yao Jinse. No one in the palace would be wary of such a little girl.

The reason why Bai Shuang was able to achieve this was because she was a rare honest person in the palace.

Words cannot be trusted, but expressions can be faked. There are so many falsehoods in the palace, so the person involved can best feel whether the visitor has good intentions or bad intentions.

Few people can resist sincere, heartfelt compliments.

Especially when it comes to a child, adults say that they will not take children's words seriously, but that is when they are saying bad things. On the contrary, if a child says nice things from the bottom of his heart, adults will think that the child is really well-behaved, sensible and cute.

Although Bai Shuang is already thirteen years old, she is still a child in the harem. If it were not for the world, how could she end up being a slave in the harem?
It's not that You Jingjing has a heart of a bodhisattva, but when many things are put in front of her, she will help them if she can. This is the way the world is, and there are too many rules that she cannot change. Instead of being sad and worried about these things that cannot be changed, it is better to do some good things within her ability.

"Where are you going, father-in-law?"

Before she reached the gate of Chengqian Palace, Yao Jinse met the chief eunuch in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, who seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

"Greetings to the Concubine." Wei Pingkai was able to become the chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace, so he must have some ability in dealing with people. Yao Jinse was very respectable in Chengqian Palace. This matter was her idea, so Wei Pingkai naturally respected her a little. "I am going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the accounts of recent purchases on the orders of the Empress."

So they are going to look for someone. Yao Jinse thought to herself that they were right to come. If Wei Pingkai were to go look for someone, who wouldn't know that something was happening in Chengqian Palace again?
Yao Jinse reached out and supported Wei Pingkai's bent body: "I came here for this matter. Eunuch Wei, please don't be anxious. Let's go back to Chengqian Palace first. There are some things that need to be decided by the queen."

Wei Pingkai was indeed not in a hurry.

The eunuchs in the palace basically have some connections with the outside world. Either they can't make ends meet at home, or they are people who are bribed with gold, silver and power in the harem. Wei Pingkai is the latter, but the benefits of piling up gold and silver are real. As long as the imperial concubine's favor continues, Wei Pingkai will be the most loyal person to the imperial concubine in the harem, and no one can surpass him.

Moreover, what the Imperial Concubine was going to do this time was indeed a little inappropriate in his opinion. Imperial Concubine Rong had only been in the harem for a year, but Wei Pingkai had been in the deep palace for decades and naturally understood that if many things really needed to be done, they could not be done too ostentatiously and had to be done in secret. However, this matter was personally ordered by the Imperial Concubine, so she not only attached great importance to it, but was also very anxious.

No matter how respectable Wei Pingkai was, he couldn't possibly go against the Imperial Concubine's wishes in front of her. This was not something a servant like him should say.

Now that Yao Jinse was willing to come up and take part in this matter, he naturally welcomed it very much, and he happily followed Yao Jinse back.

Chen Yimiao was already very surprised to see Yao Jinse. After all, it was not the right time for the imperial concubine to have dinner. Although the imperial kitchen had not delivered the food yet, it would only take a short while. Even if she thought highly of Yao Jinse, it was a bit too presumptuous of Yao Jinse to come here at this time.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This matter is really urgent. I just thought of it suddenly. I happened to meet Eunuch Wei on the road, so I took the initiative to stop him."

Yao Jinse knew, of course, that Concubine Rong was unhappy. After all, the Emperor would be here soon, and if she stayed here at this time, no matter how you looked at it, she would be suspected of trying to flatter the Concubine.

It's not that Concubine Rong is intolerant, but she can only be tolerant when she is in a good mood. In the Concubine's heart, nothing is more important than being with the Emperor, so Yao Jinse can only make a quick decision.

"You tell me first."

Concubine Rong walked in front, and with the support of Wanqiu, she adjusted the position of dishes on the menu on the table in the air. Yao Jinse followed behind with her head down, explaining step by step how to do the whole thing and how to grasp the timing.

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious now, especially don't do anything that would attract attention, such as checking the accounts. Although this is your duty, you have not been attending to official business for a long time, and if you suddenly want to check the account books, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the Queen."

First set up a target so that Concubine Rong’s emotions have something to direct, and this way, Concubine Rong will listen to her carefully.

As expected, when Chen Yimiao heard that the queen would notice it, she realized what was going on. Fortunately, Yao Jinse stopped her, otherwise this matter would be difficult to deal with later.

"You are thoughtful. Keep going."

"The most important thing right now is not to spread the news. Your Majesty must know that everyone in the harem is now staring at Concubine Qi's belly. I think your Majesty can see clearly that the Queen wants to help Concubine Qi ascend to the throne, but the Emperor does not like this approach. However, he has to praise the Queen for her wisdom and generosity. Why don't you follow the Queen's example?"

In fact, Yao Jinse had already stated the general meaning of these words when she first offered the plan, but Concubine Rong was obviously not very capable of understanding the deeper meanings, so she still needed to break it down and explain it.

"Since Concubine Qi is pregnant now, her mother should come to the palace to accompany her for a while in August. Why don't you ask for grace on behalf of everyone at the New Year's Eve banquet? In this way, the Queen will only think that you did it on purpose and will never think that your intentions are other than this."
