The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Chapter 201: Just Thinking About Climbing the Rich Branch

As expected.

Fei Wan had just noticed that something was amiss with Yu Sujin's expression. While Linglong was speaking in the hall, she tried several times to interrupt, but was unable to.

Did you go to someone's house specifically to have a private chat?

Xiang Yi couldn't help but frown: "What does she want to do? Did she hit a wall with the Empress and want to find another way?"

Fei Wan praised her: "Our Miss Xiangyi is getting smarter and smarter."

Xiang Yi was both angry and amused: "Your Majesty, aren't you angry? You still have the mind to make jokes."

"What's there to be angry about? Only after hitting a wall did she know to turn back."

Xiang Yi was puzzled: "If she comes back, can we still keep her? I don't know which master I heard say that if a servant is unfaithful once, he will never be used again."

Fei Wan told her, "Second Miss Yu is not like you. Right now, I'm just using her as a tool. As long as she's useful, her loyalty isn't important. In the future, when you're training your subordinates and making friends, remember that aside from your most important confidants, you don't need to expect everyone to be loyal. Some are loyal, some are useful, and some are neither, but they're there for a reason. You just need to put the right people in the right place and use them at the right time."

Xiangyi and Xiaohui listened in a daze, savoring Feiwan's words.

Fei Wan added, "Besides, there is no such thing as absolute loyalty in this world. For those in a higher position to demand absolute loyalty from their subordinates is against human nature, because no one is born with the mission of devoting everything to another person.

Ultimately, the fate between you and me is simply that we're better off together than alone. You can help me accomplish what I want, and I can help you achieve the life you desire. That's all. Our friendship is born from this foundation. Fate arises and falls, love fades, and nothing can be forced.

From now on, when you treat others, whether close friends or enemies, you can use this method to measure them. Observe what they want and don't want, and what you need and don't need. Comparing the two, you will know where your relationship will go.

Xiangyi and Xiaohui bowed together: "Thank you for your guidance, Madam!"

It would take them some time and real practice to digest Fei Wan's words. At the moment, they just felt that Fei Wan was very smart and powerful, and could always say things that they had never thought of.

Xiang Yi returned to the previous topic: "So what if Second Miss Yu makes friends with other empresses? What should we do? Should we deal with her or wait for her to hit the wall and turn back? What if she doesn't hit the wall and instead competes with the empress for her favor?"

Xiao Hui curled her lips and said, "Look at how impetuous she is. She's not even as good as us. Does she have the ability to compete with the Empress for favor? She only wants to climb high and know the pain when she falls!"

Fei Wan smiled.

This time, Xiaohui saw through it.

It’s not that Yu Sujin doesn’t have the qualifications, it’s just that she is too impatient.

While several people were discussing here, on the small road in the palace in the quiet night, the person being discussed, Yu Sujin, was chatting with Linglong.

Linglong, as the head maid of Changle Palace, was surrounded by several little maids holding glass snow lanterns. Except for her clothing which did not violate the rules, her style was much more superior than Yu Sujin.

When Yu Sujin first entered the palace, although she had a position, she had not yet served in the emperor's bedchamber and lacked confidence. When she saw the confidants of the powerful Concubine Xian, she automatically felt inferior to them.

She has a blood relationship with Fei Wan, but she can only try to please Ling Long.

"Well, Miss Yu, there's no need to explain. Our Empress has long known about your admiration for us. Ever since you entered the palace, she's been impressed by your sensible and polite demeanor. I've heard you're also a talented woman, exceptionally well-versed in poetry and literature. Our Empress loves well-educated and well-mannered people, and she's praised you often in private."

Linglong said this with a reserved smile, and Yu Sujin was overjoyed: "Did the virtuous concubine really praise me?"

"Of course not. What good would it do me to lie to you? Frankly speaking, Miss Yu's current position is not worth my lies and flattery."

Yu Sujin was both happy and heartbroken.

Linglong looked around to see no one was passing by, then smiled and said, "Our Queen said that the three daughters of the Yu family are all in the palace, and Lord Yu is diligent and dedicated to serving the emperor. This will be a great story in the future. However, Yu Gengyi has a bad temper and may have committed a crime, so I'm afraid it won't work out. As for Concubine Zhao, although she is not bad, she was not raised in the Yu family when she was young, so she lacks the bearing of a scholarly family. From now on, I'm afraid you three will have to rely on Concubine Yu. Our Queen really wants to be close to you, but she's busy and can't spare the time, and you don't come to Changle Palace to visit."

Yu Sujin's heart beat faster.

Regardless of whether Concubine Xian said so or not, as long as Linglong is willing to extend an olive branch, she has a chance!

"Sister Linglong, to be honest, I've been wanting to get close to the virtuous concubine for a while now. At the birthday banquet the other day, the virtuous concubine played the song 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' so beautifully that it was like shattering gold and jade. It left a lasting impression on me."

Linglong turned around with a smile: "What are you waiting for? Now that we have met, my lady, why don't you follow me back to Changle Palace and have a few words with our queen."

"Then... I will go to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort and pay my respects to Her Majesty."

Yu Sujin only brought the maid who had served her since childhood and followed her into the palace. She dismissed everyone else and followed Linglong to Changle Palace.

Walk briskly along the way.

Fei Wan spoke nicely and wanted to help her, but she stopped her from going before the emperor.

Some people don't consider family ties first, but it's no wonder that she is looking for another way out!
