Chapter 203 The law of nature is the survival of the fittest
Butler Feng hesitated for a moment, but still advised: "It's just that... most of the people in this mansion were brought here by my cousin from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Doing this... I'm afraid it will cause public outrage. If the servants protest collectively, then..."
"Public outrage?" Yu Jiuer sneered, "I want to see how angry they can get."
Steward Feng said honestly, "I'm afraid they will make a big fuss about it, attracting the attention of Jingzhao Yin and the Imperial Censor, and damaging the reputation of the prince!"
"Is the prince well-known for his virtue?" Yu Jiuer asked back.
"Uh..." Butler Feng thought about it and it seemed that there really wasn't one.
In the eyes of the world, the prince is a bloodthirsty and violent killer. When he attacked the Northern Rong in the past, he was full of murderous aura. Every time he returned to the capital, no common people within five miles dared to approach him.
But Butler Feng did not give up. He pieced together some ideas and actually managed to gain some reputation. He said seriously:
"Since you came, our prince has become a different person. He is no longer a terrifying figure. The Jinyiwei Yamen he took over is loved by the people, the palace has become more down-to-earth, and even the Censorate no longer targets us..."
As he was talking, Butler Feng could no longer continue, and finally said dejectedly, "Okay! I'll call everyone over right away!"
Yu Jiuer had a sharp gaze and could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Butler Feng.
However, after spending these days together, Yu Jiuer knew that he was indeed loyal. She was just afraid that he would be taken advantage of without knowing it.
Soon, all 190 servants in the palace gathered together.
Through observations over this period of time, Yu Jiuer had a rough idea of who was willing to work and who was full of complaints.
However, she was willing to give some people another chance, so she said, "Everyone knows that the palace will welcome three other mistresses next month. Who of you is willing to serve the new concubines and does not want to continue to help me, please step out."
Soon, there were a full 130 servants standing in front of her.
Yu Jiuer nodded and ordered in a cold voice: "Housekeeper, send these 130 people to other farms to do farm work. Those who don't want to go will be sold directly!"
"Boom!" The crowd went wild.
Relying on their large numbers, some people boldly protested:
"Empress Yu, how can you do this? Are you taking advantage of the fact that there is no other mistress in the palace and acting like a tyrant?"
"We refuse to accept this! We have worked in the palace for many years, loyally and conscientiously. You cannot kick us out of the palace!"
"The four concubines in the palace are all from wealthy families, but you are the only one from a poor family. Are you afraid that they will join forces with us to deal with you after they come, so you take the initiative? You have no right to drive us out of the palace!"
......
Yu Jiuer did not argue. She took out the family head token from her arms and held it above her head. She looked as if she was holding an imperial edict, extremely arrogant.
All the servants were suddenly struck by lightning and were speechless. Even Butler Feng sighed.
Everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion recognizes this token.
The prince had obtained it in exchange for his military merits, and they all thought that he would give it to Miss Rong, but they did not expect that it fell into the hands of this Yinshan man.
Even if the servants were dissatisfied, they had nothing to say!
The family head's token is equivalent to the prince's order. They have no reason and no position to refute.
Yu Jiuer shook the token in her hand and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are loyal, but not to me, but to Rong Wan'er. I can't keep you! Sorry, you can only blame yourself for choosing the wrong camp. Send you away!"
The law of the jungle is the law of nature, and no one can violate it. She can only avoid being bullied by putting herself in the position of a strong person.
Butler Feng ordered the palace soldiers to escort this group of people out of the palace in a mighty manner.
Now, there are only sixty people left in the mansion. These sixty people are the most unwelcome people in Prince Jing's mansion and are the ones who are often bullied and oppressed.
In the past, they were the ones who did all the dirty and tiring work in the mansion, they were the ones who took all the blame, and they had to endure all the grievances silently.
Therefore, they are very self-aware and never dare to dream of serving their masters closely.
"Butler, the remaining people will be assigned to various positions in the palace to replace those lazy, cunning, and bullying servants."
As soon as Yu Jiuer finished speaking, the remaining sixty people all looked in disbelief.
Did they get promoted without knowing why? Will no one bully them anymore?
Yu Jiuer jokingly asked, "Why? You don't want to?"
Everyone knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed to express their gratitude, saying in unison: "No, no, we are willing to do so. Thank you, Concubine Yu, for promoting us, and thank you, Concubine Yu, for your appreciation!"
"Very good, as long as everyone performs their duties conscientiously and works hard to do their part, the palace will not drive you away!" Yu Jiuer looked at the remaining people and calculated in her mind that it was just enough.
After all, this huge palace still needs someone to take care of it, and so many soldiers in the palace also need someone to take care of them, and they cannot all be driven away.
After cleaning up the servants in the mansion, Yu Jiuer found that Butler Feng was looking down and laughing, no longer as nervous as before, so she asked, "Butler Feng, are you happy that the person you care about was not sent away?"
Butler Feng said in a flattering tone, "Haha! You really have a keen eye, nothing can be hidden from you! I thought you would drive away those unwelcome people in the mansion!"
"Butler Feng's sweetheart can stay. Are you planning to hold a wedding?" Yu Jiuer noticed that the old man kept glancing at Nanny Qing with worry.
"Swish" Butler Feng's face turned red as a monkey's butt when he heard this.
"Hahaha!" Yu Jiuer laughed out loud and continued to tease, "When the flowers are in bloom, you must pick them immediately, don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck! You are not a child anymore, you should be more careful!"
"Yes, yes!" Butler Feng, who was hit on the heart of the matter, bowed and saluted repeatedly, glancing towards Nanny Qing.
Nanny Qing glared at him angrily.
Everything was done, Yu Jiuer was in a good mood. Her life could still be wonderful without a man, so why did she need a man?
She looked up at the sky, and while the palace gate was still unlocked, she quickly ordered Shadow to prepare the horse and go to the palace to visit her son.
Her sons are her biggest bargaining chip and her hope. She can give up anything except her sons.
When she arrived at the palace, the two cute and clever babies looked at her with resentment.
Xiao Xiner pouted and asked, "Does mother not want us anymore?"
Xiao Jing'er had a cold face, but her little eyes, longing for motherly love, stared at Yu Jiu'er without blinking, as if she was afraid that her mother would disappear if she blinked.
Yu Jiuer hugged the two babies and kissed them hard: "I'm sorry! My babies, mother has been a little busy recently. A few days ago, mother was busy with the Lantern Festival and didn't take the babies out. Mother will go and ask your royal grandfather to make it up to you, okay?"
Looking at the two pairs of sad eyes, Yu Jiuer's heart was broken. Didn't she want to be with them all day, kissing, hugging and holding them up high?
Yu Jiuer played with them for a while. Knowing that the emperor would come to have dinner with the children after finishing his official duties every day, she shamelessly stayed to eat.
Sure enough, as soon as Yu Jiuer suggested taking them back to Prince Jing's mansion to spend the night, the emperor's face darkened: "No! You missed it yourself, who can you blame? It can't be made up!"
The old emperor was not easy to talk to. Yu Jiuer squeezed out two tears and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, even the most common transactions among the people require compensation. Can't you be flexible?"
"I don't have any compensation here!"
At this moment, her two little babies cried out "Wow" in unison and burst into tears at the same time.
The emperor panicked this time and quickly squatted down to comfort them.
"I want my mother, I want my mother! Wuwu..."
Yu Jiuer secretly gave them a thumbs up. This trick really works every time!
Finally, she successfully took the two little babies out of the palace.
The emperor looked at their backs and said to Eunuch Cao: "This Yu Jiu'er is not a good person. I promised Mo'er to make her a concubine. I hope she can be grateful and cherish her happiness!"
Eunuch Cao flattered, "The Emperor is so worried about his little grandson. He and Concubine Yu will surely be grateful."
"Humph! Why don't I feel that Yu Jiu'er has any gratitude towards me at all!"
Yu Jiuer really couldn't be grateful to the old emperor. He sent so many monsters to destroy her family, and she was already very polite by not fighting back.
Anyway, she has one thing that the emperor doesn't have, and that is youth!
Humph, let’s see who can outlast the other? I’ll outlast you!
Yu Jiuer brought her two babies and four maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, chasing and playing with each other all the way as they walked towards the palace gate.
As luck would have it, an obstacle suddenly appeared halfway.
Empress Xiang deliberately let Xiao Xiner knock her down on the road, and she howled "Ouch!"
She has seen many such palace fighting scenes in modern palace fighting dramas before, so why are you afraid of her?
However, the palace gate was about to be locked, and if she didn't leave now, she would be late.
If she can't take her son out, she will also be criticized by the Censorate.
This sinister Xiang Fei deliberately took advantage of this point to make things difficult for her.
Yu Jiuer frowned and said, "My Lady Xiang Fei, am I afraid of you wearing shoes if I am barefoot? If you push me to the limit, I don't mind if we both die together! Think about the nude incident on the farm."
Such a simple and crude sentence successfully stopped Concubine Xiang from wailing instantly. She could only grit her teeth and glare at them.
"Let's go home with mother!" Yu Jiuer held the two babies and turned back to give Xiang Fei a provocative sneer.
She has hundreds of palace fighting scenes in her mind. Do you want to fight with her?
I’ll deal with this demon when I have time and avenge Aunt Qu!
She is currently surrounded by enemies on all sides, so let's put this aside for now.
Don’t worry, come one by one!
