Chapter 177: Pastries are expensive
A harem without a hostess is like a windswept fence on all sides. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoA little bit of wind and grass can blow to every corner of the harem.
In Ci'an Palace, several old concubines and concubines gathered together to gossip.
"When the first emperor was here, the rampant palace in Cining Palace for more than ten years really made people hate itchy, and everyone wanted to tear off a few pieces of her flesh, but unfortunately they never found the opportunity. I heard that yesterday she wanted to embarrass Mrs. Wei Beihou, but not only did she not succeed, but she was also ignored by the emperor, which is really happy!"
Concubine An, who was sitting at the bottom, said with a smile to Concubine De, who was heading up.
The middle-aged woman in a sauce-colored palace dress also laughed: "No, I don't know how this person's brain grows, could it be that the first emperor has favored her for more than ten years, and the emperor has respected her for a few years in the face of Empress Xiaoyuan, and her brain is not good?" Now that Empress Xiaoyuan is gone, there is no one in the palace to support her, and if she offends her sister-in-law, I don't know where she got the confidence? It's really funny!"
Concubine An chimed in: "But that's not what you said, now, it's time for her to know how to live in this palace." ”
The next few concubines also laughed, in the second half of their lives, they still have to spend their days in this palace, and they have fun to watch, which is good.
In the evening, Xiurong served Concubine Shu to drink a bowl of porridge, ate a few pieces of snacks, and after thinking about it, she still said the words that had been hidden in her heart for a day.
"Princess, look, do you want to give a few things to the lady of the family? What ......is today's matter?"
Before he finished speaking, a little eunuch from the Internal Affairs Office came in with a smile on his face: "Say hello to Concubine Shu!"
"Why are you here?"
"I heard that the concubine broke some cups and plates here this afternoon, and Aunt Xiurong went to get it just now, but Mr. An didn't give it, for fear that the concubine would be annoyed, so let the slave come to sue her!"
The little eunuch spoke clearly, and Concubine Shu looked up at Xiurong: "Have you gone to the Internal Affairs Office to get something?"
"Yes...... Our things are broken, and we always need new ones. Xiurong also complained in her heart, if in the past, the things in Cining Palace were broken, naturally someone rushed to send them, but now, Concubine Shu smashed so many things, no one came to ask, if you don't report it yourself, who will replace it for you?
Concubine Shu was suddenly furious, and she picked up a glass dendrobium in her hand and was about to smash it: "Dog minion, bullied to the head of the palace!"
"The concubine is angry!" Xiurong hurriedly stopped.
The little eunuch also looked frightened, and hid back a few steps, but his mouth was not polite at all: "Concubine Shu is angry! The slave is also doing things according to the instructions, Manager An said, the set of gold flowers and birds tea cup and the white jade lion broken in Cining Palace are priced at a total of 1,000 taels, and you have to wait for the silver to be compensated according to the price, and then you can allocate a new one, if the silver is ready, it will be handed over to the slave, if it is not ready, then it will be ready and sent to the Internal Affairs Office, and the slave will immediately send you a new one!"
After saying that, the little eunuch ran away without a trace.
"Look, look! These dog minions can actually bully this palace, and this palace wants to ask the emperor!"
"Concubine!"
Xiurong hurriedly knelt down and stopped Concubine Shu, who was so angry that she was about to go out.
"Just now, the slave maid also wanted to go and tell the emperor, the emperor, the emperor has gone to the Star Pavilion!" Xiurong's voice was full of panic.
Concubine Shu has no children, so what does she rely on to live in this palace? In the morning, King Jin's words were not wrong at all, not to mention, the Internal Affairs Office changed the direction of the wind so quickly, and eighty percent of it was inseparable from His Royal Highness the King of Jin.
Concubine Shu gasped a few times, only to feel so angry that she was about to explode, she Xu Shuning had been in the palace for almost twenty years, and she had never suffered such a big loss!
There was a dead silence in the hall, and it took a long time to hear the light voice of Concubine Shu.
"Very well, Concubine An...... Tomorrow send someone to tell the family that he will ask for ten thousand taels of silver. ”
Concubine Shu returned to the soft couch and said with her head propped up.
Yes, I was a little impulsive today, Xu Chengyi hadn't been able to do it yet, and now he fell out with Shi Yuzhen, and he was a little anxious.
After thinking about it, Concubine Shu added: "By the way, I will give two boxes of Poria cakes." ”
The next day, Weibei Houfu.
After receiving two boxes of Poria cakes, Mrs. Wei Beihou was stunned, and when she understood the little eunuch's intention, she almost laughed.
"You concubines are really good at settling accounts, and if you take two boxes of Poria cakes from the imperial dining room, you will ask me for 10,000 taels of silver......" Mrs. Wei Beihou swept over the box with a pair of sneering eyes, and did not feel anything unusual at all.
Whether it was during Cheng Huan's lifetime or during the period when Cheng Huan went, the emperor sent things to Weibei Houfu, and this internally made thing is really not rare.
"Go back and tell your concubine, this box of Poria cake for 5,000 taels of silver is too expensive for Houfu to eat, let your concubine take care of herself, and cause less trouble to Houfu in the future, even if we burn high incense!"
"Madam, yesterday our concubine was a bumper, you are the concubine's sister-in-law, don't worry about her, it is not easy for the concubine to be in the palace for so many years, and it is also for the ...... of the palace"
"For the sake of Houfu?" Mrs. Wei Beihou glanced at the little eunuch: "Go back and tell your concubine, if you feel wronged, think about it back then, presumably she will not be wronged again." ”
Mrs. Wei Beihou sent off Concubine Shu unceremoniously, but she didn't feel happy in her heart.
"Ah Zhi, I remember that when I first got engaged to Hou Ye, Shuning was very good to me, but later, how did she become like this......"
Looking at the two peony trees in front of the court, Mrs. Weibei Hou still remembered the little girl who greeted her with a smile when she first came to Weibei Houfu to meet her mother-in-law, Mrs. Weibei Hou.
At that time, Xu Shuning was still very friendly to her sister-in-law.
Mama Gao couldn't help but sigh: "It's not because I bought you a big kite during the Qingming Festival later, and forgot to give it to her...... Our aunt and grandmother have a big heart. ”
Mrs. Wei Beihou smiled: "Yes, just a kite can make her hate me in her heart...... But then she didn't listen to the old lady and me, she had to gamble with Zhan Shichun, and insisted on going into the palace, now can it be said that it is for us Houfu? Although our Houfu is not as strong as before, but the Hou Ye has never thought of exchanging the daughter of the family for wealth, and even the matter of Cheng Huan is helpless......
Speaking of her daughter, the smile on Mrs. Wei Beihou's face was gone.
"That's it, for so many years, we have piled a lot of silver into the palace, lest she be wronged, and now, it is enough, and there is no reason for me to bother to raise the enemy. ”
Mama Gao stood quietly aside and nodded, the summer day is gradually getting warmer, I hope that Madame's heart can also be warmed day by day.
When the capital entered the scorching summer, the weather in the northwest also suddenly became hot.
It was as if someone had taken it away in the spring, and it went straight from the cold day to the dog days.
Under the scorching sun, the school field of the Ningzhou Military High School was dusty, and the war horses neighed. (To be continued.) )
