“Although we won’t align ourselves with the Xue and Cen families, we absolutely mustn’t offend them. We can’t be like some people who make enemies everywhere.” Wei Yingya said, looking at Qiu Kui.
“Select two valuable gifts from my treasury and send them to Cen Jieyu and Xue Meiren.”
This was how Marquis Weiyong always did it.
He would send gifts to both families without offending either, and he would also handle any requests they made.
Of course, if you can get an outsider to do something, it’s not a secret, so there’s no risk of losing your head.
Wei Yingya also planned to do the same. She would handle what she could. But if it were a matter of life and death, she shouldn’t be asked to do it.
She didn’t want to offend anyone.
“Master is so thoughtful.” Qiu Kui flattered.
Wei Yingya praised herself inwardly, suppressing her pride, and said, “Come with me to the small kitchen to prepare new desserts for His Majesty.”
…
After leaving Haitang Residence, Fang Zhaoyi went to Jingxi Palace.
“This Wei Yingya is ungrateful…” Fang Zhaoyi added fuel to the fire, expressing her dissatisfaction with Wei Yingya.
She was dissatisfied with all these favored concubines.
She disliked not only Ning Wanyin, but also Wei Yingya.
“She’s just like her father. No wonder people say, ‘Like father, like daughter’.” Shu Fei remained calm and composed, showing no anger or annoyance.
“There’s no need to try to win her over anymore. Let’s see her off on her final journey.”
“Huh?”
Fang Zhaoyi asked in surprise, “Is this…appropriate?”
The Wei family has always remained neutral. If they were to kill Wei Yingya, wouldn’t that push the Wei family toward the Xue family?
“News just arrived from the Southwest. The Marquis of Weiyong and his sons have died in battle. The Wei family has already submitted a memorial to His Majesty, requesting that the Marquis of Weiyong’s younger brother be granted the title.” Shu Fei said calmly.
“This new Marquis is a clever man; he has given Duke Cen a generous gift. Now it’s not a matter of whether Wei Yingya is willing to submit or not, but rather, the new Marquis cannot tolerate her.”
Fang Zhaoyi was extremely shocked.
The four marquises are hereditary nobles, and if they have no heirs, they would have to choose a close relative from among their relatives to succeed them.
The Marquis of Weiyong’s younger brother is the closest blood relative and the first in line to inherit the title.
“The Wei family has undergone a complete upheaval…” Fang Zhaoyi’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“It was bound to happen sooner or later. Those who waver in the wind never end well.” Shu Fei said casually.
She paused before adding: “The new Marquis is sensible, so the Cen family will naturally pave the way for him. If you handle this matter well, both Cen Jieyu and the Wei family will thank you.”
This new Marquis of Weiyong would never allow the former Marquis’s daughter to become the Emperor’s favorite concubine. Once she gains power, will he have a good ending?
Her father’s death was suspicious.
Wei Yingya must be eliminated.
Fang Zhaoyi’s eyes lit up. She used to be Shu Fei’s follower, and now she could take this opportunity to get in touch with the Cen family, which was naturally excellent.
“This concubine understands.” Fang Zhaoyi smiled.
After arranging this task, Shu Fei deliberately remarked with a touch of melancholy: “I’ve heard that Shu Pin’s pregnancy is going very well. It seems that there will be great joy in the palace soon. We should take care of these small matters as soon as possible, lest His Majesty, in a moment of pleasure, grant her a special favor.”
Fang Zhaoyi’s eyes darkened, but she smiled and said, “Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not keep Cen Jieyu waiting for long.”
Shu Fei glanced at her and said calmly, “You and Shu Pin are both veterans in the palace. I only hope that you will give birth to a son or daughter soon, so that you won’t have to worry about the rest of your life.”
“It’s because I don’t have the same good fortune as Shu Pin…” Fang Zhaoyi clenched her fists under her sleeves.
Once Wei Yingya’s matter is settled, she should start making arrangements for Shun Pin.
