Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 465: Rules (1)
The next day, Empress Dowager Zhao of Shouning Palace issued a phoenix decree, indicating the six palaces and reducing the cost of each palace.
Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at Queen Qiao speechlessly.
Queen Qiao smiled bitterly and sighed in a low voice: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother summoned Ben Gong to Shouning Palace, and brought up the matter of reducing expenses, praised Ben Gong for being thoughtful, and also praised Ben Gong as a filial daughter-in-law."
It's not implied but explicit.
What else can I do as a daughter-in-law? We can only give this virtuous name to Shouning Palace.
Lu Mingyu snorted softly: "It must be Concubine Qin who is tricking me."
"Who else is there besides her." Queen Qiao mentioned Concubine Qin, full of anger and unhappiness, and whispered: "She relied on the Queen Mother's favor, and often instigated in the Queen Mother's ear. The Queen Mother blindly protected her, she I didn't do anything outrageous, so it's inconvenient to deal with it. I have to endure it for a while."
As the most honorable Queen of the Central Palace in the Great Wei Dynasty, she cannot act freely and arbitrarily. Queen Qiao is not unhappy.
But what can be done?
Such a trivial matter is not worth making a fuss about.
Lu Mingyu had to comfort Queen Qiao: "Everyone knows what's going on. It's the mother's queen, and no one can take it away."
Queen Qiao smiled lightly: "As long as the East Palace is stable, your husband and wife and children are well, this trivial matter, this palace does not take it to heart."
The matter of the reduction of the fee in the palace soon spread to the inside and outside of the court.
There is a memorial in the imperial history, which sings praises to the virtuousness of the Empress Dowager Zhao.
Emperor Yongjia has a light on his face, and his face is full of joy.
Empress Dowager Zhao was also quite satisfied, and she looked a little better at Queen Qiao. He also took the initiative to reduce the cost of Shouning Palace by 20%: "The cost of the palace is reduced by 20%, and Aijia should do the same. So, the cost of Shouning Palace will also be reduced by 20%."
Queen Qiao smiled and flattered: "My mother's heart is in the country, which is admirable."
Concubine Qin flattered her ass, and it was even more disgusting: "The Empress Dowager is simply the most virtuous empress dowager in history!"
Empress Dowager Zhao listened very well and smiled cheerfully: "How can Concubine Qin speak so exaggeratedly."
Everyone got goosebumps all over the place, holding back their nausea and boasting.
The Queen Mother Zhao was in a good mood after hearing the flattery for a few days. When Emperor Yongjia came to pay his respects, Zhangkou urged Emperor Yongjia to sit down in Concubine Qin's bedroom: "It's your cousin who gave birth to the fourth prince for you and serves the Aijia every day. You should give Aijia some face. , I have time to talk to Concubine Qin."
Emperor Yongjia nodded indiscriminately and went to Concubine Qin's palace that night.
……
There is no need to go into detail about the means of competing for holy favor in the harem.
As a daughter-in-law, Lu Mingyu is also inconvenient to pay too much attention to which palace concubine her father-in-law goes to sleep with.
Now that Queen Qiao's body has recovered and she is in charge of the affairs of the sixth house, she doesn't have to go forward with everything, and her whole person is much more relaxed. It is also a pleasure to accompany the children every day.
A few days later, Qiyun was taken into the East Palace. Entering the palace together, there is also brother Zhong, who has just been full moon.
This matter is obviously not in accordance with the rules of the palace.
Concubine Meng took advantage of Emperor Yongjia's visit to Yanxi Palace, and deliberately mentioned this matter: "...Prince Concubine has meritorious service in the country, and the Xingyang Army is powerful, all these ministers and concubines know it. However, when the Concubine did this, It's too unethical. Once the palace servants are released to marry and have children, there is no reason for them to enter the palace to serve them again."
Emperor Yongjia frowned and glanced at Concubine Meng: "This matter, the queen told me before, and I am also right. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Rules are set by people, and occasionally Just change it."
"According to the rules, I spend most of the month in Yanxi Palace, is this appropriate?"
Concubine Meng choked.
In the past, she had long been angry, waiting for Emperor Yongjia to coax her.
Now, he quickly suppressed the sullenness in his heart and squeezed out a smile: "The concubine just said it casually to relieve the emperor. The emperor is not willing to listen, so the concubine just doesn't say it."
Emperor Yongjia's expression slowed down.
Concubine Meng hurriedly brought up another important matter: "The emperor arranged a marriage for Jing An before he left. Jing An is now eighteen years old, and this marriage should also be arranged."
The daughters-in-law chosen by Emperor Yongjia were all from the family of military commanders. Picking a concubine for her daughter, but choosing an excellent son-in-law from the civil servant's family. For example, Concubine Wu, with outstanding literary talent, came from a well-known scholarly family, and had a decent family style.
Princess Jing'an's future concubine is the eldest grandson of the noble noble book of the Ministry of Housing, a well-known talent in the capital, with a handsome appearance. She is one year older than Princess Jing An, and she is nineteen this year.
Emperor Yongjia nodded and said with a smile, "In a blink of an eye, Jing'an will be married."
"Yeah, time flies so fast." Concubine Meng sighed, her voice full of sigh and self-pity: "In a blink of an eye, the concubine is already old."
Emperor Yongjia laughed and stretched out his hand to hug Concubine Meng into his arms: "In my eyes, Jiaojiao will always be what it used to be."
Concubine Meng snuggled up in Emperor Yongjia's arms with a sweet look on her face, and sipped hard in her heart.
A heart is about to be coaxed by that cheap maid Wang Jieyu.
Still here to coax her nicely.
It's not like she's a fool!
But ~IndoMTL.com~ he's pretending, and she doesn't need to be sincere. At this moment, Fu Xiao is low, and of course has a purpose: "Your Majesty, the concubine is Jing'an's mother. My daughter is married, and the concubine wants to handle the marriage by herself."
This is certainly not legal.
However, married into the Li family for so many years. When did Concubine Meng observe the rules of the concubine's room?
Emperor Yongjia didn't even think about it, he nodded immediately.
Concubine Meng felt relieved, the corners of her mouth raised, and she demanded every inch: "Jing'an's dowry can't be simple, it's the same as Hui'an back then."
Emperor Yongjia has always loved Princess Jing'an, so he was about to nod his head when he felt something was wrong, and frowned: "It's not that I don't care about Jing'an. It's just that all the money in the House of Internal Affairs has been misappropriated as pension money. Now I can barely support it. For the expenses in the palace, it all depends on the private rooms of the queen and the crown princess. I will not be reluctant to give up the dowry for Jing'an. However, I can't ignore some dignity."
"By the way, I remember that in the past few years, you often asked for gold, silver and jade, saying that it was a dowry for Jing'an. Why are you asking for a dowry now?"
Concubine Meng: "..."
Emperor Yongjia's eyes were bright, and seeing Concubine Meng's guilty conscience, he softened his voice and said, "My concubine also wants to make Jing'an a beautiful marriage."
Emperor Yongjia's face sank slightly: "You only have yourself and a pair of children in your eyes, and you don't even think about it. Now that the Great Wei treasury is empty, how difficult it is for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't expect you to take out money like the Queen and Crown Princess. You're good, and you've made another bad idea."
In a fit of rage, he walked away.
Concubine Meng's expression stiffened for a moment, but she didn't even shed a tear.
No matter how deep the affection is, it can't help but die. Emperor Yongjia didn't take her to heart, and she wouldn't cry anymore for him.
