Chapter 508 Consort Hui's Calculations

"Speak."

Jiang Chen's expression was somewhat indifferent.

He didn't have much fondness for this Consort Hui, who thought herself clever.

Consort Hui didn't notice Jiang Chen's displeasure. She was immersed in her own thoughts, full of longing and yearning for the future.

"Your Majesty, my mother was ill a few days ago, and I went back to visit her. On the way, I saw many poor families."

"I couldn't bear it, and after thinking about it, I want to establish a charity foundation to help these poor families. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After speaking, Consort Hui looked at Jiang Chen with anticipation.

A few days ago, she did indeed go home, and the reason was indeed that her mother was ill.

But that wasn't the whole truth.

The family had simply found an excuse to call her back.

The goal, of course, was the position of Empress.

After some discussion, they realized that what Consort Hui lacked compared to Consort Shu was a merit.

Since Consort Shu had a charity foundation, they would imitate it and create a loving heart foundation!

Moreover, it would be larger in scale than Consort Shu's charity foundation, and it was bound to overwhelm Consort Shu!

After returning to the palace, Consort Hui couldn't wait to report to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was a little surprised after listening.

A sneer rose in his heart.

The charity foundation had been established for nearly two years, and Consort Hui had taken no action, but now she suddenly wanted to create a loving heart foundation.

What it was for was obvious at a glance.

However, Jiang Chen didn't refuse this kind of good thing.

Anyway, in the end, it would benefit the people of Da Wei.

"I am very happy that Royal Concubine has such thoughts."

Jiang Chen praised Consort Hui without hesitation: "Royal Concubine's actions will surely be appreciated by the people of the world."

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't refuse, Consort Hui was overjoyed.

When discussing at home, they all agreed that the biggest obstacle to establishing the loving heart foundation was Jiang Chen.

After all, they were going to compete with Consort Shu.

But unexpectedly, it was so easy to get permission from Jiang Chen!

Consort Hui was extremely excited.

Not only because Jiang Chen agreed to her creating the loving heart foundation, but also because it indirectly confirmed what happened in the court a few days ago!

His Majesty doesn't value Consort Shu as much as everyone thought!

This was definitely a great encouragement to Consort Hui!

Consort Hui said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "If there is a need, I can come forward to organize some activities for you."

Consort Hui was even more pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, I was just wondering whether to say it or not. I am preparing to hold an auction to raise the first fund for the loving heart foundation!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "No problem, Royal Concubine, feel free to do it. I will strongly support it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Watching Consort Hui leave happily, the expression on Jiang Chen's face was a little elusive.

Feng Jin, who was beside him, couldn't help but say at this time: "Your Majesty, is Consort Hui's move intended to demonstrate against Consort Shu?"

Feng Jin couldn't say whether he liked or disliked Consort Hui.

But he was very grateful to Consort Shu.

When Imperial Concubine Mei was in charge of the harem, he, the chief eunuch, had no dignity at all. He was often summoned and scolded by Imperial Concubine Mei, and even slapping his face was a common occurrence.

At this time, Consort Shu, who was being bullied everywhere, would comfort him a few words.

In addition, since Consort Shu took charge of the harem, she has been very respectful to him, the chief eunuch.

So for Feng Jin, he very much hoped that a good person like Consort Shu would ascend to the position of Empress.

Jiang Chen smiled: "That's right."

Feng Jin was a little anxious and said, "Then why doesn't Your Majesty stop her?"

In Feng Jin's opinion, Jiang Chen should come forward to protect Consort Shu.

Jiang Chen smiled and glanced at Feng Jin: "You seem to be very concerned about who will become the Empress."

Feng Jin's face changed drastically, and he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "This old servant is guilty!"

After being told by Jiang Chen, he realized what he had done.

And eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, which is an iron law established by the Grand Ancestor of Da Wei.

"Get up."

Jiang Chen waved his hand indifferently. He was just a little surprised that Consort Shu could get Feng Jin's support.

Feng Jin stood up cautiously, not daring to say more, and stood aside obediently.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Why do you think I didn't stop her?"

Feng Jin shook his head. He didn't know.

If he knew, he wouldn't have asked the question just now.

Jiang Chen smiled: "Because although Consort Hui has ulterior motives, it is beneficial to the people."

"Since it's just a demonstration against Consort Shu, why shouldn't I allow it?"

Feng Jin suddenly understood after hearing this.

At the same time, he also understood Jiang Chen's decision.

Consort Shu will definitely be conferred as Empress!

After coming to this conclusion, Feng Jin said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

But then, he became worried again.

"Your Majesty, won't this make the other imperial concubines think that Consort Shu is easy to bully?"

Feng Jin said with a worried face.

Jiang Chen had naturally considered this point long ago.

"Don't worry, anyone with a little brain won't take action at this time."

Feng Jin was stunned, and then he understood and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

If they take action now, it would be tantamount to showing their petty minds.

It would definitely be detrimental to competing for the position of Empress.

"Your Majesty, the weather is getting hot. This old servant will go to the Imperial Kitchen to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup." Feng Jin said happily.

"Go ahead." Jiang Chen waved his hand and picked up the memorial to review it.

Not long after, Jiang Chen heard a rush of footsteps, and smiled curiously: "Feng Jin, are you back from the Imperial Kitchen so soon?"

Raising his head, Jiang Chen saw Feng Jin looking a little anxious. Behind him was a young eunuch.

Jiang Chen looked at it and recognized that this young eunuch was guarding the gate of Consort Shu's palace. His name seemed to be Xiao Tingzi.

Feng Jin said anxiously at this time: "Your Majesty, Xiao Tingzi has something to report."

Eunuchs of Xiao Tingzi's status are normally not qualified to come to the Hall of Diligent Governance to see him.

But Feng Jin overstepped the rules and brought him in, obviously something urgent happened.

Jiang Chen restrained the smile on his face and said, "Speak!"

Xiao Tingzi knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, just now, Imperial Concubine Heng of Xingheng Palace wanted to see Consort Shu, but Consort Shu had already ordered that she was not feeling well today, so she would not see outsiders."

"This humble servant explained this to Imperial Concubine Heng, but Imperial Concubine Heng didn't listen. This humble servant couldn't stop her and let Imperial Concubine Heng break in."

As he spoke, Xiao Tingzi tilted his left face, and Jiang Chen saw a bright red palm print.

Obviously, Imperial Concubine Heng slapped him.

Jiang Chen also had an impression of this Imperial Concubine Heng.

She was a rather jealous woman. After Jiang Chen transmigrated, he only contacted her once and then never went to Xingheng Palace again.
