When Ji Wu Jiu wore plain clothes to visit the markets to see how the citizens are doing, he once saw people at the market haggling prices, like a war, and never ending, it can be compared with the bickering of the ministers at court.
Today, he was lucky to be able to witness the haggling process of inner palace women; The empress dowager and the empress was negotiating about what level title and how should Xu Wei Rong enter the palace.
Ye Zhen Zhen was thinking, no matter what Xu Wei Rong is still related to the empress dowager, she will be closer to empress dowager compared to Xian Concubine, so it will be best to not have a high position for that woman, if not there will be more problems later.
Furthermore, even if the emperor wants to give title to any woman, she can't enter with a high title from the start, Xian Concubine was a different case, she was brought in with that title thanks to Ye Zhen Zhen's marriage to the emperor. Xu Wei Rong's father is just a small minister, definitely did not make any big contributions to the country, and also not to mention was pushed down by Ye Xiu Ming, so the empress dowager cannot use the family status as a reason.
Ye Zhen Zhen was clear that although she was not officially in bad terms with the empress dowager, but they both know they don't like each other, so she didn't really give face to her, so she was trying her best to haggle with her. The empress dowager said that Xu Wei Rong "Gentle and humble", Ye Zhen Zhen replied "all the woman in this palace, which one is not gentle and humble", the empress dowager said "good in literature and arts", Ye Zhen Zhen replied " why not ask her to become a female scholar, and help the emperor at the court, it would be the same, why should a woman with such knowledge be covered by the woman that only knows how to be pretty here", the empress dowager said Xu Wei Rong is "a well known pretty maiden in the capital" Ye Zhen Zhen laughed coldly "if the whole capital knows she is pretty, looks like she has been showing her face very frequently".. Empress dowager :....
Empress dowager can't continue saying anything.
She is a normally quiet person, meeting Ye Zhen Zhen , this type of straightforward person that does not even takes time to take a breath before replying, and what ever she says is a strong wind that will slap the other persons face, making her unable to withstand anymore.
Therefore, the empress dowager look at Xian Concubine. Xian Concubine was brought here purposely, thinking that it would be better if there were someone backing her, but who knew that Xian Concubine will remain quiet as well.
Of Course Xian Concubine understood what the empress dowager wanted, but these two days, she slowly came to a realization, on to why the emperor was angry with her, most probably because he didn't liked her interfering with Xu Wei Rong's case, if that is the case, she shouldn't say anything now. Also she found out, Ye Zhen Zhen appear to be abit crazy ,and will sometimes speak nonsense but in reality she really is someone clever, she, Fang Liu Yue did things too rashly, and made a mistake, next time definitely no more.
That's why Xian Concubine was sitting down quietly, not looking at anyone, not saying anything.
The empress dowager than turned to look at Ji Wu Jiu, supposedly Xu Wei Rong is brought in by the empress dowager for the emperor, the emperor will only be required to wait for the pretty maiden to be sent to his arms, and previously he was not involved as well, but now if he takes the initiative to give the title to her, the empress would not be able to do anything.
However, the person who said that he wanted his cousin sister to enter the palace, today he is like Xian Concubine, only sitting and not saying anything.
The empress felt weird that the two of them who proposed the idea are now keeping quiet, initially she thought she will win the argument, but now she wants to vomit blood from the words that are coming out from Ye Zhen Zhen. Both of them continued to negotiate, one of them wants to give Xu Wei Rong a second rank title, another one wanted to simply give her a ninth rank Shu Nu, and according to both sides argument, the rank starts to head to the middle, in the end they finally came to an agreement, sixth rank, Cai Ren.
Coming out from Kun Ning Palace, Ji Wu Jiu said, "It didn't know that your haggling skills were so great"
Thinking about how the empress dowager was early, she was actually rather tired, but hearing the praise from him now, she got abit happy, and said rashly, "of course, next time if you divorce me, I will be a merchant, I think I will be able to get a fortune at least"
Ji Wu Jiu stopped walking, and frown "When did I say I want to divorce you?"
Ye Zhen Zhen looked down, thinking in her heart, it would be too late, when I hear you say that.
Seeing Ye Zhen Zhen not saying anything, JI Wu Jiu opened his mouth and wanted to say "I would not divorce you" but he felt that even if he said that, the both of them would not believe it as well, so he closed his mouth and continued to be silent.
