Chapter 156, Humming Falls Out of Favor (440 Monthly Pass ++)
Carved moon Kaiyun Palace.
The queen frowned tightly, "Have you found out why Concubine Shu fell out of favor?"
Mama Chen shook her head: "The Changchun Immortal Pavilion has been blocked, and there is really no way to investigate." The slave only watched, and the emperor was really angry. ”
The queen sighed, "The queen mother is still alive, the concubine is still jumping, and it's not time for Concubine Shu to fall out of favor now!"
Mama Chen nodded and said: "Isn't it! Pure concubines and concubines are declining day by day, and Yi Guiren is pregnant again, just those few who are always there and promise the little master, although there are also outstanding figures, but it is difficult to get the favor of Shu Concubine!"
The queen rubbed her forehead with a solemn expression, "This palace always feels that Concubine Shu's fall from grace is too abrupt and unusual! ”
"Yes, the minions understand. ”
——————
What to do if you fall out of favor?
Cold!
Hao Ming leaned on the satin pillow of the Luohan couch, and there was a lazy yawning fire ball in his arms, "Now the outside is tightly guarded, except for going out to receive the monthly allowance, waiting for the idle palace people to go out of the hall for half a step." In such a situation, I am afraid that there will be few unpopular fluctuations. He said to Mama Sun: "How much idle money is there in the account?"
Grandma Sun thought for a while, and then said: "There are about five or six thousand taels of silver tickets, and only half of the gold bills rewarded by the emperor earlier. ”
Hao Ming nodded, "Since it's still abundant, don't save it at this time." In the museum, whether it is a palace maid, eunuch, or grandmother, they will all be rewarded for two months, which is to praise them for their loyalty. Give them peace of mind. ”
Grandma Sun smiled and nodded "yes".
Hao Ming instructed again: "Also, it will be cold soon." The earth dragon and the charcoal basin should also be burned, and the place that needs to be dotted outside remembers that the silver makes it richer, in short, where the silver should be used, Mama considers that this only works. ”
Mama Sun said: "Even if these ladies don't say it, the minions can be saved." Our Changchun Immortal Pavilion will not be banned for too long, and the silver must be enough. ”
There is grandma grandma here. Take care of it inside and out, and you don't need to worry about it. She just ate and slept every day, and as the weather gradually cooled down. The chirp is like a cat's winter. In the medicine garden, the collection and drying of medicine should be handed over to the fire group to work, and the fire group works at night, so it is lazy during the day.
Such a laid-back day. It lasted until winter came.
Snow was falling outside Jingming Hall. The world is as white as promised, and the two Xifu begonia trees outside the hall have been covered with snow, only a few red begonia fruits are exposed, and he stands under the porch, wearing a magenta silk chrysanthemum cloak worn last winter, holding a hot hand stove, but leisurely and comfortable.
Banxia was full of resentment, "The leather and satin used this winter." The minions looked at it, and the mink and the ula mink were both inferior. The color of the coat is also mixed! The silk and satin are even more old-fashioned, and the color is not bright!"
Hao Ming smiled faintly: "It's good to be able to send it down according to the regulations." This is still the result of giving a lot of silver in exchange. In such a situation, she had already expected that the people in the palace, which one would not worship the high and step on the low? Even including the palace maids and eunuchs who served in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, if she hadn't doubled the reward for the next month, I was afraid that she would have been unfulfilled for a long time. I just didn't see it, my heart was flying, and it was useless to keep that kind of person.
Banxia stomped her feet: "Niang Niang is good-tempered, the silk and leather have been sent to the sewing room for almost half a month, and so far I haven't even made a new cloak to keep out the cold! The minions have sent people to urge twice, and the silver reward has been given twice, but they are just perfunctory!!"
"Then don't rush, anyway, last year's clothes are still enough to wear. She said slowly, she was favored last year, and the clothes made in the needlework room were fast and good, and she stammered on the pole, so the winter clothes were sufficient, but she was not worried about freezing.
Hao Ming looked at Banxia with a smile: "It doesn't matter what is on the side, as long as the charcoal fire is sufficient, this winter will not be sad." ”
Banxia also said with a busy smile: "Seeing that it is almost in the moon, no matter what, Niangniang is a concubine who has been canonized seriously, and when the New Year is approaching, the ban will always be lifted." ”
Is the ban lifted? Ming looked down at his waist, he was almost three months old, wearing a thick winter coat, he couldn't see it at all, and then if he stroked it carefully, he could already feel a slight bulge in his lower abdomen.
This kid didn't come at the right time. In addition to sucking the spiritual fluid in her dantian from time to time, she doesn't make much trouble, and there are no symptoms of nausea and vomiting, but her appetite is not very good, and she wants to eat sour and spicy. It's a pity that now that she is in lockdown, her diet has been deducted a lot, where can she eat whatever she wants?
"It's cold, let's go back to the house. Banxia persuaded softly.
Humming responded, it has been grounded for two months, and the emperor has never been to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion again, as if he has forgotten that she exists in this palace. Now that it is winter, I am afraid that the government will also be busy, and the emperor is afraid that he will not have time to pay attention to the situation of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion.
Mama Sun specially stewed sour radish and duck soup for her to drink, the sour and delicious soup was very delicious, and she ate two bowls in one go, and her stomach was swollen before she stopped. For example, there are ten chickens, ducks and geese every month, and Grandma Sun will stew soup for her to drink. It's just that the fresh vegetables in winter are pitifully burned, and there are few that can be used as ingredients, nothing more than cabbage and radish. Although there are also out-of-season vegetables supplied to the inner court in this era, the quantity is scarce, and it is obvious that she will not have a concubine who has fallen out of favor.
Grandma Sun's cooking skills are very good, and she couldn't help but smile when she saw that Ming was appetizing: "Originally, adding some kelp would make it taste more delicious." It's a pity that that thing was divided up at the beginning of the month, and there is nothing left. ”
Hao Ming stroked his stomach: "Those rare ingredients in winter, don't make up your mind, those things can't be distributed by giving more money." ”
Mama Sun sighed and said, "In the past, didn't all the good ingredients follow our Changchun Immortal Pavilion first?
"Aren't all the people in the palace like this?" said Ming looked at her with a smile.
Grandma Sun took the dishes and chopsticks and said, "It's hard for the mother to think about it like this, and the slaves feel wronged for the mother." ”
"What's there to be wronged about?" Mingming tilted his head and stroked the soft hair of the fire, "It's my own choice to have today." ”
In order to avoid open guns and arrows, the emperor's favor naturally has to be put aside first.
Grandma Sun went to the charcoal basin and added a few pieces of red basket charcoal, and suddenly said: "By the way, this morning the noble people sent someone to send some bird's nest, and the slave saw that it was a good official swallow, and he had already asked the small kitchen to soak it, and he would stew a red date bird's nest for Niangniang at night." Now that the winter is dry, it is better to eat some bird's nest to moisten your throat. ”
Humming his head: "It's hard to be a noble person, she should be pregnant now, and she supports herself alone, I'm afraid it's hard work." ”
Mama Sun hurriedly said: "The slave heard that the emperor often goes to visit Yi Guiren these days, and because she is pregnant, many people stutter, so the diet is good." ”
"Then I'm relieved. "Hao Ming's heart is relieved, no matter what, the emperor always cares about the heir.
Mama Sun looked at the red flame in the charcoal basin, "According to the concubine position, eight catties of red charcoal per day and thirty catties of black charcoal per day are used in winter. The black charcoal is enough, but the red charcoal has only been given half of it in the past few days...... Black charcoal is okay to use to burn the earth, but it is too choking to burn charcoal pots. ”
Hao Ming is also silent, this winter seems to be colder than last year, and because he lives in the Old Summer Palace with many lakes, it is much colder than in the Forbidden City, which can hide the wind in all directions. It's only early winter, and it's comparable to the number nine. It's barely enough now, but it's only getting colder and colder in the future.
At this time, Banxia Ha walked in quickly, with a happy look on his face: "Niangniang, Concubine Jia Niangniang sent someone to send two baskets of red baskets of charcoal! ”
He smiled and glanced at Mama Sun: "Will there be a shortage of charcoal for a while now?" The red basket charcoal is the best charcoal for the inner court, and it is made of high-quality hardwood wood selected by the construction department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and each piece of charcoal is evenly sized and neatly packed into the red basket, so it is called "red basket charcoal". The red basket charcoal is black and shiny, burn-resistant and long-lasting, and tasteless and smokeless, even if you don't add charcoal overnight, you wake up the next morning, and the charcoal basin is still not extinguished.
Mama Sun smiled and said: "The fourth elder brother is young and cold, it is hard for her to even set up a charcoal case to help her mother." ”
Banxia smiled and said: "Niangniang has always been kind to others, so even if she is in trouble now, there are still many people to help." The day before yesterday, the pure concubine sent someone to send a brocade quilt is also very thick. ”
Yes, so the grounding is not a big deal, but the adversity sees the truth, and he feels quite comforted in his heart.
Jia Concubine and Chun Concubine are not too favored, but they are just living by routine. Jia Concubine is slightly better, the fourth elder brother has not yet been enrolled, and there is an exclusive charcoal case for the prince, and the mother and son add a piece, so they can allow two baskets of red charcoal to come out.
Kyushu Qingyan.
The north wind howled at night like a ghost crying wolf, and the dense snow fluttered on the window paper of Kyushu Qingyan, but the hall was warm and hot.
Wu Shulai, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace, tiptoed up with a ginseng soup and said, "Your Majesty, drink ginseng soup to moisten your mouth." ”
Emperor Zhu Bi paused, looking at the piled up on the case, he couldn't help frowning a little, the heavy snowfall for several days, even in the Gyeonggi area, a large number of houses were collapsed, countless livestock on the grassland froze to death, Horqin and several other tribes have been shouting for funds for relief. In the past few days, the emperor has been irritable, so the people in front of the emperor are all cautious and small, and they dare not come out. (To be continued.) )
