Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 464: Means (2)

Queen Qiao glanced at the faces of the concubines in the harem, and smiled faintly: "While you are all here, this palace has an important announcement to announce."

"From today onwards, the cost of the harem will be reduced."

"The Jiaofang Palace has been reduced by 30%, and the East Palace has been reduced by 40%. The rest of the palaces, like the East Palace, have been reduced by 40%. Now the national treasury is empty, and the deposit in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also been used up. Everyone is frugal. For some, after these two years have passed, they will recover, and then resume their expenses."

Reduce the cost by 40%?

Why don't you just lose everything?

Concubine Meng, who was sulking, replied without a smile: "The empress and concubine set an example and take the lead in cutting costs. This kindness makes the officials and concubines feel ashamed."

Concubine Qin was also unhappy, but in the current situation, she couldn't bear to be unhappy. As Concubine Meng said, Queen Qiao and the Crown Princess took the lead in reducing the cost. What else can they say?

Concubine Qin coughed and smiled: "I would take the liberty of asking a question, I don't know where Shouning Palace is..."

"The cost of the harem has been reduced, and the Shouning Palace is the same as before." Lu Mingyu, who had never spoken out, took over the words: "Concubine Qin just rest assured, the queen mother's filial heart to the emperor's grandmother is no less than yours." /

Concubine Qin smiled dryly after being choked up: "Prince Concubine is joking. The concubine just asked casually and had no other intentions."

"It's best not to have his intentions." Lu Mingyu glanced at him lightly: "Illness comes in through the mouth, and disaster comes out through the mouth. There are many people in the palace, talking less and talking less is the way to be a human being. Concubine Qin The most intelligent, and the reason for this, I don’t need to explain it clearly.”

Concubine Qin: "..."

Concubine Qin hehe said, "Prince Concubine is right." She quickly shut up.

Because of the cost reduction, everyone lost interest in speaking, gossiped a few words, and got up and left. Wang Jieyu did not leave, but stayed until the end.

Lu Mingyu knew something and smiled at Queen Qiao: "I think Wang Jieyu has something to say to the queen mother, and the daughter-in-law will retire with elder brother and elder sister Xuan first."

Queen Joe responded with a smile.

When Lu Mingyu left with a pair of children, there was no one else in the main hall.

Wang Jieyu stood up suddenly and knelt down in front of Queen Qiao.

Queen Qiao was stunned, and immediately reached out to help Wang Jieyu: "Well, what are you doing when you kneel down suddenly? Get up quickly."

Wang Jieyu refused to stand up, with tears of shame in her beautiful eyes: "The concubine has been honored by the empress's great kindness. The concubine is really ashamed and shameless to see the empress again."

Emperor Yongjia ate dinner in Jiaofang Palace, but went to Fanghua Palace to stay overnight.

Such a thing would be humiliating for a woman.

Wang Jieyu became more and more uneasy the more she thought about it, the tears in her eyes quickly fell, and her voice choked up: "My concubine's heart for the niece has never changed. I beg the niece, don't hate the chen and the concubine because of this!"

"How can I blame you for this."

Wang Jieyu insisted on kneeling, but Queen Qiao couldn't hold it, but in desperation, she leaned down to meet Wang Jieyu's eyes: "The legs are on the emperor, no matter where he wants to go, who can stop him? You are favored, and this palace is also happy. It is much better than the emperor going to Yanxi Palace."

That's true.

Wang Jieyu felt relieved, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said in a low voice, "My lady is magnanimous, she didn't blame her concubine, she is very grateful. Please rest assured, the queen, no matter what time, the courtiers and concubines will always be there for you. I will never forget the kindness of the goddess. If the goddess has any dispatch, just order the ministers and concubines."

"Chen and concubine are willing to be the pawns of the empress, charging into battle, at all costs."

The last sentence, said firmly, without hesitation.

Whether a person is true or false, one cannot hide from others.

This sincere confession made Queen Qiao moved.

Queen Qiao pulled Wang Jieyu up and said in a deep voice, "Bengong understands your intentions. Don't worry, Bengong is not such a narrow-minded person. What happened last night, Bengong does not I will blame you for my anger. On the contrary, this palace hopes that you will be able to favor the Six Palaces, gain holy favor alone, and suppress Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin.”

Wang Jieyu took a deep breath and nodded lightly: "I will do my best to live up to the high expectations of the empress."

……

After leaving the Jiaofang Palace, Concubine Qin went directly to Shouning Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhao was used to the company of Concubine Qin, and when she met, she frowned first: "What happened today? Why do you have a sour face?"

Concubine Qin had a bitter look on her face: "Isn't my aunt aware of the bitterness in the heart of the concubine? The emperor spoiled Concubine Meng and stayed in the Yanxi Palace for more than a month. Now I am going to the Fanghua Palace. It has been a long time since my concubine was there See the emperor."

The Empress Dowager Zhao glared at her: "As a palace concubine, such words can also be said, and it is indecent."

In the end, I felt sorry for Concubine Qin, and whispered: "When the emperor comes to Shouning Palace, Aijia asked him to go to your bedroom to sit down."

Concubine Qin was overjoyed and hurriedly supported Empress Zhao: "It's still my aunt who loves me the most."

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and rolled her eyes: "I'm also a grandmother~IndoMTL.com~ I'm still shy to ask for holy favor, can't I still have a prince in my stomach?"

Concubine Qin blushed with embarrassment, and whispered, "It's not easy for me to have children at my age."

"It's not." Empress Dowager Zhao took over the words in a hasty manner: "Wang Jieyu is young. She gave birth to peace before, and maybe she will give birth to a prince in the future."

Concubine Qin: "..."

This lowly maid is just a dog by Queen Qiao's side. She fascinated Emperor Yongjia with her beauty. Even the Queen Mother Zhao praised her from time to time.

Concubine Qin hummed coldly in her heart, followed the voice of the Queen Mother Zhao, and echoed a few words against her will. Then, he talked about the reduction of expenses in the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhao heard that Shouning Palace's expenses had not been reduced, and immediately said: "The money from the Internal Affairs Office has been taken by the emperor to comfort the soldiers, and now it is the queen's crown princess who has taken out a private house to fill the hole. The cost should indeed be reduced. ."

Anyway, it didn't affect Shouning Palace at all.

Concubine Qin deliberately sighed: "It's nothing to reduce the cost. The concubine just thinks that the Queen Mother is using this to invite her name. So, doesn't it seem that the Queen Mother is not virtuous enough?"

Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't laugh anymore, she frowned, rather unhappy: "If you don't say it, the Aijia haven't thought about it. The queen is also not good at handling things. For such a big matter, just bypass the Aijia. down."

"No, Aijia will send someone to ask the queen to come over and ask a question. Let's see what kind of heart she has!"

Concubine Qin successfully applied the eye drops, and she was secretly self-satisfied, and she hurriedly whispered: "The Queen Mother will come later, the Queen Mother should not say that this matter was said by the concubine. Lest the Queen Mother blame Yu Chen's concubine. ."

Empress Dowager Zhao snorted: "If Aijia is here, I don't dare to forgive her!"
