Chapter 979: Chapter 979-Arrogant and Domineering
However, she couldn’t be blamed.
The Pan family had never had any ambition. Of course, it was also because their strength could not keep up with their ambition. Jiankang City was full of talents, but they could not keep up with the number of emperors who died one after another. Being the emperor or something was not considered a good thing.
At least in the eyes of the Pan family, the throne seemed to be cursed.
It could be said that apart from the fact that the current emperor had half of the Pan family’s bloodline, the Pan family did not receive any benefits.
Except for Pan Po, who got the position of provincial governor.
The Pan family was boiling with excitement. They felt that they were about to squeeze into a first-class family.
They were not considered aristocratic families, but a supervisor, a prefect, and a provincial governor. They were considered noble families.
Pan Shuo was drunk in the Xie family’s house, and he was dragging Xie Xian and his brother along with him. Not to mention, in the harem, Consort Pan couldn’t hold back her passionate heart.
When her own son became the Emperor, she did not have a single day where she was at ease. Every day, she was either worried that the little Emperor would lose his life because of someone else’s scheme or let the heavens plot against him. Because the previous emperor choked to death on glutinous rice balls, that thing was extinct in the harem now, but there was still something else…
The nearby Imperial Consort Pan could not interfere either. Although Empress Dowager Xiao had been grief-stricken these days and refused to meet anyone, she had a domineering personality and did not allow anyone to have the slightest bit of power. Imperial Consort Pan did not want to interfere either. The only thing she wanted to interfere with and could interfere with was the little Emperor’s daily diet.
She was also afraid that the child would be greedy and choke…What should I do?
Thus, this was the only thing that she had not let go of, and she had been on her guard.
Over the years, there had been too many people and events that had exceeded Empress Dowager Xiao’s expectations. However, with Empress Dowager Pan’s personality, she had been as timid as a mouse for decades. She had perfectly inherited Emperor Yong Ping’s frightened personality. No matter how big the waves were, she would obediently lie on the shore, trembling. Empress Dowager Xiao magnanimously let go of a matter regarding food and gave full authority to Empress Dowager Pan.
Empress Dowager Xiao was not wrong about Consort Pan. Even though Empress Dowager Xiao had closed her doors to guests, Consort Pan was as obedient as ever and did not do anything out of line.
Imperial Consort Pan had no eyes and ears in the harem. Even a major matter like a clan member’s promotion took half a month to reach her ears.
She did not participate in political affairs and did not care much about the court. However, the Pan family’s career was smooth and they had high positions and high salaries. This was beneficial to her son. She knew this.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, she only kept it in her heart. She did not dare to reveal it, nor did she dare to call Xiao Baoxin into the harem to get close to him.
She was just a consort. If one were to really talk about it, she only had some value as the emperor’s biological mother. Otherwise, she really would not be qualified to call Chief Xie’s wife into the palace. Even if she summoned people in, she still needed Empress Dowager Xiao’s permission before she could do anything.
Imperial Consort Pan weighed the pros and cons for a long time. Empress Dowager Xiao’s elder brother had died, and her own elder brother had taken the position. If she really sent a message to Empress Dowager Xiao now, it would be fine if Empress Dowager Xiao was open-minded. If she didn’t take things too hard, it would be like sprinkling salt on someone’s wound. She would be looking for trouble.
Over the years, Empress Dowager Xiao had accumulated her power for a long time. Imperial Consort Pan did not dare to provoke her on this matter, so she gave up.
It wasn’t until the new year that a banquet was held in the palace. Empress Dowager Xiao and Imperial Consort Pan attended the banquet together. Imperial Consort Pan grabbed Xiao Baoxin and thanked him profusely. Actually, she wasn’t trying to get close to him. She just wanted to tell him that she didn’t take it for granted. She knew it in her heart.
It was just a few words, but it was like a thief. Empress Dowager Xiao had to leave first on the grounds that she was not feeling well, so she had such an empty space.
Xiao Baoxin was speechless. This concubine of the Pan family…He was as timid as a mouse.
She didn’t know what to say. With her loud voice, she was afraid of being overheard and scaring Consort Pan.
“This is still Provincial Governor Pan’s talent.”Xiao Baoxin said softly, carefully controlling his volume.
She felt guilty and short of breath. She felt that she had fallen.
‘Madam Xiao, what are you saying? Why didn’t I hear you clearly?’
“It should be a courtesy.”
‘It should be polite words… Most people were like this…Of course, she was not an ordinary person…Forget it, he would just pretend that he heard it.’
He smiled knowingly at Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Baoxin shut his mouth tightly. He didn’t know how to reply to this Consort Pan. However, this imperial concubine was also rare. She was so paranoid.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard how carefully she tried to please Lady Pan. It was a bit bitter, but also a bit careful. She really didn’t want to scare people so easily, so she usually kept it in front of Lady Pan Pan. Firstly, because of her friendship with Pan Shuo and Xie Xian, and secondly, because she really didn’t want to bully honest people, she was much more restrained than others.
Fortunately, Imperial Consort Pan was very cautious. She only met a few of the other wives throughout the year and rarely spoke to them.
If it wasn’t for Pan Po’s matter, which made Consort Pan feel grateful and wanted to thank her in person, she would have followed Empress Dowager Xiao and left.
In any case, this chapter was over. Once Empress Dowager Xiao left the banquet, the madams let go, but Consort Pan could not. She did not want to interact with these people, nor would she interact with them. She was worried that she would not know her limits and make Empress Dowager Xiao unhappy. After speaking with Xiao Baoxin and her sister-in-law, she was prepared to leave.
Just then, the young eunuch outside the hall suddenly crawled into the hall like a dog.
It could be seen that he had originally wanted to be quiet, but who knew that his legs were not strong enough. The sound of falling to the ground was too loud, and all the nobles in the hall were alarmed. The little eunuch was so frightened that he was about to cry.
Imperial Consort Pan’s heart skipped a beat. This little eunuch was a little eunuch by the Jianxing Emperor’s side. For him to disregard his manners and crawl into the palace hall, attracting the attention of all the women, something must have happened.
“Wha, wha, wha, what happened?” The question was so loud.
Xiao Baoxin looked again, and Empress Pan was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
The young eunuch did not wait for Lady Pan to reply before looking at Xiao Baoxin. Xiao Baoxin immediately had a bad premonition.
The hall was dead silent. Everyone’s fiery gazes were focused on Lady Pan’s face, and most people did not notice the gaze of the young eunuch who had his back to them.
“-tell me!” Consort Pan said angrily, already standing up anxiously.
She was afraid, afraid that her son would choke to death!
She was afraid that she would choke to death if she drank too fast.
Who asked the imperial family of Daliang to be the bane of the emperor!
“The tutor’s little wifey and the emperor are fighting.”The little eunuch almost peed his pants in fright. He had never seen Consort Dowager with such a ferocious expression. First, the Emperor was beaten up, then Consort Dowager Dowager. The impact was layer after layer, and the little eunuch was a little overwhelmed.
He omitted a few thousand words and confessed. However, he didn’t expect that the others would understand his words. Their jaws dropped to the floor. They knew that Xie Xianjia’s twins were even more domineering than Xiao Baoxin back then, but they didn’t expect them to be so domineering that they fought their way to the palace.
