Chapter 63: Speechless
In the Changqiu Palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Jiang Yu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
Sitting opposite her was Meng Xuanyu, who had been watching her since she entered the door.
Jiang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and continued to pick up the pastry and take a bite - the queen didn't know where to invite the master, and the black plum cake was quite good.
The queen inevitably had another tirade and disciplined the palace concubine, from the untidy appearance of a certain little picking girl to Meng Xuanyu's coquettishness.
When it was Jiang Yu's turn at the end, the queen probably said that she was tired, so she first picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
put down the tea bowl, then turned his head to look at Jiang Yu, his eyes sank, his tone softened a little, and asked, "Concubine, how are you managing this palace affairs?"
Jiang Yu patted the pastry crumbs on his hand, bent his eyes and smiled, and said, "It's good." ”
The queen said, "That's good." As he spoke, he covered his chest again, made a weak look, and said: "The palace has recently had angina, and the imperial doctor instructed me not to be tired, but fortunately, the emperor sympathized with the palace and temporarily handed over the palace affairs to you to take care of, so that the palace can have time to recuperate." ”
This is said with a bit of desire, how the queen was removed from the palace, I am afraid that no one in the harem does not know.
Jiang Yu thought that the queen should have something to say next, and sure enough, he heard the queen say: "But the concubine has no management of palace affairs and no experience, I am afraid I don't know what precedent there are for many of these things, and someone needs to help you." As he spoke, he pointed to Aunt Gu beside him, and was about to say, "This Aunt Gu used to help this palace manage the palace, so let her help Zichen Palace help you." ”
As a result, before the words came out, he was interrupted by Jiang Yu with a strong smile: "The concubine has indeed never managed palace affairs and has no experience, but fortunately, Xu Zhaorong helps the concubine." ”
said and looked at Xu Zhaorong with a smile, but Xu Zhaorong had a look of disdain on his face, and snorted lightly, waiting to see her joke.
Jiang Yu continued to smile and said: "I heard that Xu Zhaorong helped his mother take care of the housekeeper when he was in his mother's house, and he managed the palace affairs in an orderly manner a few days ago, and he was really a good hand in the housekeeper director." Yesterday, she taught her concubines a lot of experience, and also said a lot of things in the palace......"
As he spoke, he reached into his sleeve, took out a piece of paper from it with his index and middle fingers, and said with a smile as he opened it...... Yesterday, Xu Zhaorong told the concubines that the minions in this palace have a great loss of the emperor's silver, and the egg palace sells for a penny, and the better ones are no more than two pennies, but the minions in the palace bully the emperor and the ladies who live in the deep palace and don't know the outside market, and they actually record an egg as five cents of silver. One tael of silver is a thousand wen, and five cents of silver can buy three or five hundred eggs. You said that the emperor's money didn't know how much money was carried by these minions.
Therefore, Xu Zhaorong made this list of accounts for the concubines yesterday, saying that when the concubines are in charge of the palace in the future, they will follow this list, like eggs are purchased at the price of three cents each, which is enough. ”
Xu Zhaorong was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu with wide eyes, and then stood up and pointed at Jiang Yu: "Meng Yuyu, you wronged me, when will I ......?"
Jiang Yu looked at her and interrupted her, "You mean you didn't copy this list?"
Xu Zhaorong said angrily: "I copied it, but it's obviously your ......"
Jiang Yu shook the piece of paper in his hand as a fan and interrupted again: "Just admit that you copied it." Besides, the next time you talk to this palace, remember to call 'Guifei Niangniang', it's always like this, no big or small, no distinction between dignity and inferiority, even if this palace is tolerant, you can't be so presumptuous. ”
The rest of the palace concubines in the palace were already looking at them in surprise, they didn't know the doorway in the palace, but the interests of the minions had already formed a force, and it was difficult to break through this force. What's more, there are people behind this.
So no matter who is in charge of the palace, they just don't know, turn a blind eye, and it's not their own silver anyway.
But I didn't expect that when the concubine first got the palace power, she wanted to fight against this force.
As for Xu Zhaorong, they had some doubts, it was really what she told the concubine about this?...... Some believe and some don't.
Those who believe in it thought in their hearts that the concubine had never been in charge of palace affairs, and she relied on the grace of the saint, and it was said that she was fearless if she didn't know, but Xu Zhaorong, she even dared.
The palace concubine didn't say anything, she just wanted to watch the development of the situation.
Naturally, the queen had already glared at Jiang Yu and Xu Zhaorong with her eyes open.
Since she entered the palace as a queen, she has always been in charge of palace affairs, and they say that the slave boldly embezzles the silver of the building, it is better to say that she, the queen, is holding the silver.
Although the words are true, they are very unpleasant.
Of course, she also knows that the accounts of the palace are not right, but the person in charge of the purchase is the queen mother, she and the queen mother are out of the Cui family together, first, she is the queen who acts on weekdays and the queen mother supports her, and secondly, the family also warns her from time to time that everything after entering the palace must listen to the queen mother.
Although she didn't know where her aunt had gotten so much silver, she thought that it wasn't her silver anyway, so she turned a blind eye.
The queen gestured to the jade smoke behind her with her eyes, and the jade smoke understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to Jiang Yu and held it with both hands.
Jiang Yu didn't wait for her to speak, and had already handed the list in his hand to Yuyan with a smile.
Yuyan handed the list to the Empress.
The queen looked at the words on it, it was indeed Xu Zhaorong's handwriting.
Looking at what is written on it, the more I look at it, the more angry I become.
The queen turned her head hatefully, looked at Jiang Yu and Xu Zhaorong, gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine, Xu Zhaorong, how are you, you are really good!"
Jiang Yu hurriedly made a happy gesture and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, do you also agree with the concubines doing this?" said and patted his chest, and said with a smile: "The concubine was worried that the Queen Mother would not agree, but the Queen Mother is really wise and generous, and the mother is the world!" ”
Queen: "......"
Xu Zhaorong felt chills all over her body, as if she had been pushed into an ice cave by Meng Yuyu. She framed her and made her speechless.
The list was copied by her, and it was in her handwriting, but she copied it according to Meng Yuyu's reading, how many people would believe her if she said it?
She looked at the queen's fierce and angry gaze, as well as the appearance of the surrounding palace concubines watching the play, and what kind of expression would the queen mother of Jing'an Palace have when she found out? At this time, she only felt speechless.
Meng Xuanyu watched all this silently, didn't say anything, picked up the tea bowl next to her, and took a sip silently.
She was wondering if what Meng Yuyu was doing now was what Meng Yuyu wanted to do, or if the emperor instructed her to do it.
Meng Yuyu is not a nosy person, and he has never managed a house, so it is impossible to be so familiar.
The emperor handed over the palace affairs to Xu Zhaorong, Xu Zhaorong listened to her, did the emperor ever want her to play the role of Meng Yuyu now. She didn't dare to offend the queen mother and didn't take action, did she disappoint the emperor......
If the emperor originally hoped that she was the one who could join hands with him to deal with the queen mother, then she ......
Meng Xuanyu was a little irritable in her heart, she just felt that she had recently taken a wrong step.
