Concubine Shen in the palace also bribed many officials with money, and her actions were carried out under the emperor's nose. When the emperor did not stop her, Concubine Shen became even more fearless.
The Queen and her concubines were unable to stop Concubine Shen's growing power and could only vent their frustration helplessly.
Is there any way?
The emperor needs Concubine Shen's help, or to be more precise, he needs the Shen family's money, otherwise what is she, Shen Lin?
Ling Xue also learned some news about Concubine Shen from Shen Zhen, but it was just about how favored she was and how powerful she was. However, Ling Xue didn't care too much.
Even if she could become the empress, what would it matter? The imperial court was about to fall, and she would be finished sooner or later!
There are more and more people around Ling Xue who can be used. Even the maids have been trained by Xiao Taozi's grandmother Yun Xiangrong and can all stand on their own.
Xiao Taozi is no longer Ling Xue's maid. She is now considered one of the high-ranking officials in Yunyang Prefecture. When Xiao Taozi walks on the street now, everyone she meets will respectfully address her as "Master Shi".
Although Xiao Taozi is very busy now, she still comes to Ling Xue from time to time to show her presence.
She is very good at vying for favor. She is not afraid that the young master will forget her. What she is afraid of is that if she is not in front of the young master for a long time, there will definitely be some little bitch who will snatch her position as the number one person in front of the young master.
Seeing Xiao Taozi staggering back, Ling Xue asked, "Xiao Taozi, you're back. How does it feel to be an official? Are you adapting?"
Speaking of work, Xiao Taozi became excited: "Adapt, of course I can adapt! I think I was born to be an official. Don't you know how stupid those people are? I can't leave even for a moment, otherwise I wouldn't come back so long."
As Xiao Taozi spoke, she looked at the delicious dishes on Ling Xue's table.
Ling Xue felt a little distressed when she saw her face getting smaller. She immediately asked the maids to add another set of bowls and chopsticks for Xiao Taozi:
"Hurry up and sit down and eat together. I see you've lost a lot of weight."
Xiao Taozi naturally would not refuse. She is an official now. When she was a maid, she could not eat with the young master. Now that she is an official, her treatment is naturally different.
Looking at Xiao Taozi's honest and impolite look, Yun Xiangrong almost fainted from anger. How could she have such a stupid granddaughter?
Fortunately, the young master likes her silly look, otherwise she would have died long ago!
While eating her meal with relish, Xiao Taozi reported her work to Ling Xue.
Seeing how happily she ate, Ling Xue unknowingly took a few more bites as well. Yun Xiangrong finally felt better, thinking that the little peach was of some use.
Of course, Ling Xue also gave Xiao Taozi a lot of advice on work matters.
Although Ling Xue didn't say much, every time she said it, Xiao Taozi felt as if she had suddenly realized something.
Xiao Taozi sighed in her heart: The young master is still a young master after all, he is much more powerful than ordinary people like them.
After Xiao Taozi left, Yun Xiangrong also took the time to brainwash these maids:
"See? That little Taozi used to serve the young master, but now she's a big shot. In Yunyang Mansion, she's second to none. As long as you serve her well, you'll have a chance too."
Yun Xiangrong's brainwashing immediately made the maids' blood boil. Xiao Taozi's today is their tomorrow.
Nanny Yun said that in the eyes of the young master, he never regarded them as servants. As long as they were capable enough, he would give them the opportunity to become officials.
Wow, they are going to work hard!
Yun Xiangrong looked at the maids with satisfaction: Roll it up, girls!
