Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 464

[Chapter 464 Means (2)]

Empress Qiao glanced at the faces of the concubines in the harem, and said with a faint smile: “While you are all here, this palace has an important announcement to announce.”

“From today onwards, the cost of the harem will be reduced everywhere.”

“The Jiaofang Palace has been reduced by 30%, and the East Palace has been reduced by 40%. The rest of the palaces are the same as the East Palace, and the cost has been reduced by 40%. Now the treasury is empty, and the deposit in the Internal Affairs Office has also been used up. Everyone should be thrifty, etc. Get through these two years, slow down, and then resume the fee.”

Cut costs by 40%?

Why not just reduce it all?

Concubine Meng, who was full of sullenness, 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 inferior.”

Concubine Qin was also not happy in her heart, but in the current situation, she could not tolerate her being unhappy.

As Concubine Meng said, Queen Qiao and the Crown Princess took the lead in reducing expenses, what else can they say?

Concubine Qin coughed and laughed, “I 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, answered the question: “Concubine Qin, just rest assured, the filial piety of the queen mother to the emperor’s grandmother is no less than yours.”

Concubine Qin was choked and smiled dryly: “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 from the mouth, and disaster comes out of the mouth. There are many people in the palace, talking less and talking less is the way to be a human being. Concubine Qin is the smartest. , the reason for this, I don’t need to say it clearly.”

Concubine Qin: “…”

Concubine Qin snorted: “Prince Concubine is right.” She quickly shut up.

Because of the cost reduction, everyone lost interest in speaking, gossiped a few words, and each 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.

Empress Qiao was startled, 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, her beautiful eyes filled with tears of shame: “I have been honored by the empress’s great kindness and virtue. I never imagined that one day, the concubine will make the queen’s face look dull. I’m really ashamed, shameless to see the Empress again.”

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

Such a thing is undoubtedly a humiliation for a woman.

The more Wang Jieyu thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Tears in her eyes quickly fell, and her voice choked up: “My concubine’s heart for her concubine has never changed. I beg your concubine, please don’t hate my 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 and met Wang Jieyu’s eyes: “The legs are on the emperor’s body, no one can stop him wherever he wants to go. You agree. My dear, this palace is also happy. It’s better than the emperor going to Yanxi Palace.”

This is also true.

Wang Jieyu calmed down a little, 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 empress, my lady will never forget her. 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 goddess, charge into battle, and do whatever it takes.”

The last sentence was said firmly and without hesitation.

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

This sincere confession made Queen Qiao moved.

Empress 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. For what happened last night, Bengong will not blame him. To you. On the contrary, this palace hopes that you will be able to favor the sixth house and gain the holy favor alone.

Press down Concubine Meng, Concubine Qin.

”

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

…

After Concubine Qin left Jiaofang Palace, she went directly to Shouning Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhao was accustomed to the company of Concubine Qin. When they 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 my concubine’s heart? The emperor spoiled Concubine Meng and stayed in Yanxi Palace for more than a month. Now I am going to Fanghua Palace. The concubine has not seen the emperor for a long time. .”

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

In the end, he felt sorry for Concubine Qin, and whispered again: “When the emperor comes to Shouning Palace, Aijia asks him to go to your bedroom and sit down.”

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

Empress Dowager Zhao glanced over with a smile: “I’m also a grandmother. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is still shy to ask for holy favor. Could it be that a prince can pop out of his stomach?”

Concubine Qin blushed with shame, and whispered, “At my age, it’s not easy to have a child.”

“It’s not.” Empress Dowager Zhao took over the words sloppily: “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 servant girl was just a dog next to Queen Qiao. 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.

When the Queen Mother Zhao heard that Shouning Palace’s expenses had not been reduced, she immediately said: “The money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been used 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 holes. The expenses should indeed be reduced.”

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

Concubine Qin deliberately sighed: “It’s nothing to reduce the fee. 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, and frowned, rather unhappy: “If you don’t say it, Aijia hasn’t thought about it. The queen is also not good at doing things. Such a big thing, just bypass Aijia and set it up. ”

“No, Ai’s family will send someone to call the queen to come over and ask. Let’s see what kind of heart she has!”

Concubine Qin successfully put on the eye drops, and she was secretly proud of herself. She hurriedly said in a low voice: “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 the concubine.”

Empress Dowager Zhao snorted: “With Aijia, forgive her and dare not!”
