At the same time, Chen Feng'er sat quietly in her chamber, her eyes deep in thought, pondering the various affairs of the palace.
The gift brought by General Luo appeared to be a gesture of respect, but in reality, it concealed deeper political intentions.
Luo Ling's behavior is undoubtedly testing her attitude and bottom line.
Chen Feng'er gently touched the pearl necklace on the table, knowing in her heart that every step in the harem must be taken with caution.
She cannot allow anyone, including Luo Ling, to misjudge her character and principles.
"The balance in the palace needs to be carefully maintained," Chen Feng'er muttered softly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
She decided to pay more attention to the dynamics within the palace, especially the actions of the newly entered concubines, as their every move could affect the balance of power in the palace.
Chen Feng'er deeply understands that as the empress, she not only needs to maintain her own dignity, but also to keep a fair and compassionate heart, in order to stand undefeated in this dangerous and beautiful harem.
Night falls, palace lanterns are lit, in Chen Feng'er's chamber, everything appears particularly tranquil. However, beneath this tranquility, complex thoughts and worries are hidden.
Emperor Han Yu walked into the bedroom and saw Chen Feng'er deep in thought. He couldn't help but ask with concern, " Feng'er, you look worried. What's wrong?"
Chen Feng'er looked up at Han Yu with a faint smile in her eyes and replied, "Your Majesty, you will probably find out as soon as tomorrow's morning court, or at the latest, in a few days."
Han Yu sat beside her and gently said, "It's okay, you can tell me about it for now."
Chen Feng'er sighed softly and began to slowly recount the events that had occurred in the palace today, including Luo Ling's punishment of Liu Cui and her own handling of the situation.
Han Yu listened, his brows slightly furrowed. He knew the affairs of the harem were complicated, but he didn't expect Luo Ling to be so arrogant and disrespectful.
"Feng'er, you handled it very well," Han Yu said seriously. "The harmony in the harem is also extremely important for the court. beauty Luo's behavior was indeed excessive, but your handling not only showed your authority, but also maintained kindness, which is crucial for maintaining stability in the harem."
Chen Feng'er smiled slightly, and Han Yu has always supported her, which has given her great comfort and strength.
"Your Majesty, I'm just worried that this matter might affect your governance," Chen Feng'er said.
Emperor Han Yu gently held her hand, "Feng'er, you don't need to worry about these things, I will handle them. The stability of the court requires our joint efforts, and the harmony of the harem is equally important. Your handling of the harem plays an indispensable role in maintaining the stability of the entire court."
They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with trust and support.
The next morning, just before dawn, the court was already bustling with activity. Civil and military officials gathered, each with their own concerns, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Han Yu.
Luo Tianquan, a highly respected old general, stood solemnly in the court. His heart was filled with worry because he knew that his daughter Luo Ling had encountered trouble in the palace.
Emperor Han Yu entered the court with an imposing demeanor, his gaze sweeping over the courtiers before finally fixing on Luo Tianquan.
At the beginning of the morning court session, the officials presented various state matters, but Luo Tianquan was not focused on this. He was waiting for the right moment to speak for his daughter Luo Ling.
Finally, as the morning court approached its end, Luo Tianquan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have a matter to report."
Han Yu nodded to indicate that he should continue.
Luo Tianquan bowed and then began to speak: "Your Majesty, yesterday in the harem, your daughter Luo Ling was reprimanded by the Empress. Although she was at fault, it was due to her youthful ignorance. I request Your Majesty's forgiveness for her mistake this time."
The court was silent, as everyone awaited the Emperor's response. Han Yu's eyes revealed a deep contemplation; he knew that Luo Tianquan was a prominent court official with significant influence on court affairs.
After a moment, Han Yu spoke slowly, " General Luo, we understand your feelings. However, matters of the harem should be handled by the Empress. We believe that the Empress will have her reasons for handling this matter."
Luo Tianquan Upon hearing these words, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew that the emperor's decision was final. He had to bow his head and respond, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight."
The atmosphere in the court suddenly became subtle. Emperor Han Yu changed the subject, with a hint of subtle meaning in his tone:
"General Luo, I also deeply feel that beauty Luo has made some mistakes, which may also be related to my long-term neglect. I failed to timely detect the conflicts in the harem, leading to this situation. I will make amends to beauty Luo in the future, and express gratitude for General Luo's loyalty."
Luo Tianquan Hearing these words, although there was still dissatisfaction in his heart, he also understood that the emperor was giving him a way out.
He bowed again, his voice even more respectful: "Thank you for your grace, if there is anything improper about me, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Other officials in the court heard this conversation and each had their own thoughts. The Emperor's words not only reassured Luo Tianquan, but also showed his concern for the affairs of the harem. This was an important message for them to understand the Emperor's attitude.
After the morning court session, Luo Tianquan quickly left the court. He needed to inform his daughter Luo Ling of the news as soon as possible, and also needed to carefully consider the deeper meaning behind the Emperor's words.
Chen Feng'er felt a subtle shift in her emotions upon learning of Emperor Han Yu's stance in the court. This was not only a way to balance Luo Ling, but also a way to adjust the relationship between the harem and the court.
In the spacious and bright bedchamber, Chen Feng'er and her sister Chen Huang'er enjoyed tea together. As the fragrance of tea lingered, their conversation revealed the deeper workings of the harem.
Chen Huang'er took a sip of tea and looked at her sister with curiosity, "Sister, what do you think of the Emperor's stance today?"
Chen Feng'er set down her teacup, her eyes shining with depth, "The Emperor's actions are aimed at maintaining the balance between the court and the harem. His attitude towards Luo Ling is both a reminder to her and an opportunity for her."
Chen Huang'er nodded in understanding: "So what Sister means is that the Emperor is teaching Luo Ling a lesson while also not letting her lose her footing?"
"Exactly," Chen Feng'er smiled faintly. "Every step in the harem requires caution. Luo Ling has big ambitions, but she still needs to learn how to sharpen herself in order to survive in the harem."
Chen Huang'er After a moment of contemplation, he asked again, "So, how does Sister plan to respond?"
Chen Feng'er The smile in her eyes deepened, "I will maintain my position, while also closely monitoring Luo Ling's actions. In the harem, what we need is not only wisdom, but also balance."
The conversation between the two unfolded slowly amidst the fragrance of tea. Every word from Chen Feng'er revealed her profound understanding of palace politics and her exquisite control. Listening to her sister's analysis, Chen Huang'er admired her sister's wisdom and far-sightedness even more.
The sky gradually darkens, and the palace lanterns illuminate the figures of the two people. Their conversation continues in this tranquil palace, as if in this perilous and splendid harem, they can still find a trace of peaceful solace.
