Chapter 408: The Legend of the Deep Palace VII

The queen's father respects the queen's mother, even if his sister gives birth to a precious concubine, the queen's father does not look at her much differently, let alone do anything to spoil the concubine and kill his wife. My sister was very unwilling, she felt that with her beauty, she should also live a life of superiority, not an aunt who still had to look at the face of the eldest woman.

Then, the opportunity came. My sister went out to incense and ran into my sister, who was already Mrs. Lu. The two sisters who looked exactly the same naturally recognized each other, but the younger sister's current identity was a shame for their mother's family, so the elder sister did not dare to rashly take her younger sister to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. The younger sister thinks that her sister looks down on herself, prevents her from recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors, and is jealous of her sister's identity and life, so her sister is evil and pushes her sister off the cliff, and she pretends to be her sister's identity and becomes "Mrs. Lu".

At that time, the precious concubine had already been born, and Mrs. Lu did not hesitate to leave her biological daughter for the sake of her own future. After Mrs. Lu said about the Lu Mansion, she deliberately let herself be infected with a cold and fever as a good excuse for "amnesia". Master Lu didn't know that Mrs. Lu had twin sisters, and he never suspected Mrs. Lu. A few years later, Mrs. Lu gave birth to a daughter again, the heroine Lu Hongxun.

"Both daughters have inherited Mrs. Lu's genes and are equally capable. Lin Baiyu sighed and put away the information well. It's a big killer and will be useful later.

……

In the study, the emperor sat in front of the desk and thought quietly, his brows furrowed, and he never let go. The great eunuch Guan Dezhu sighed in his heart, he could best understand the emperor's distress. The first emperor was a person who loved luxury and tossed, and he tossed the treasury to the emptiness of Jiangnan several times, so that the emperor did not dare to have a big celebration since he ascended the throne, and even the repair of the palace has been delayed, and there is really no money. But now that several disasters have occurred, it is the time to use the money, but the emperor can't take out the money, no wonder he is so distressed.

A little eunuch quietly walked in with a plate with a green head card and looked at Guan Dezhu inquiringly. Guan Dezhu nodded and let the little eunuch step forward, while he bowed down and called the emperor softly.

"Your Majesty, the green head card is here, but which lady's brand do you want to turn over?"

The emperor's mind drew the delicate faces of the beauties in the harem, and the irritable mood was soothed a little, and he stretched out his hand to point on the brand, and was about to turn over Lu Hongxun's brand, when suddenly someone at the door reported: "Your Majesty, the precious concubine sent chicken soup." ”

A trace of boredom flashed in the emperor's eyes, this precious concubine, whenever she doted on other women, she came to this set. How did the little sister become like this? The queen is not as jealous as she is.

"Guan Dezhu, you go and bring in the chicken soup and send people away. ”

The emperor instructed lightly, and his interest was all disturbed by the precious concubine's hand, and he didn't even want to see Lu Hongxun, who the precious concubine looked like he imagined, and his fingers moved away from Lu Hongxun's green head card, and turned over Xiao Mingxiang's green head card.

The news reached the harem, and Ganquan Palace smashed another set of tea sets. The precious concubine didn't expect that her action of sending chicken soup would have the opposite effect, she was so angry that her chest was stuffy, her eyes were slight, and she almost fell on the fragments of the tea set. The precious concubine gave Qingquan a backhand slap: "It's all your bad idea!"

Qingquan's face was cut by the precious concubine's nails, and blood flowed out. She bit her lower lip and didn't dare to show resentment, but she was shocked and complained about the precious concubine.

In Danruo Palace, Lu Hongxun was also surprised, she thought that the emperor was satisfied with her, and she would turn over her green head card today, but where did she think that the emperor turned Xiao Mingxiang's brand. It's really the emperor's heart, the needle under the sea, so that she can't see through it and guess.

As for Xiao Mingxiang, she was happy, she had already figured out how to help the emperor make money and enrich the treasury, just wait for the emperor to come to her, so that she could complete the task. I didn't expect the emperor to give face and turn over her green card.

At three o'clock, the emperor stepped on the moonlight and came to the Water Moon Palace. Xiao Mingxiang served the emperor to eat, and the dishes were made by Xiao Mingxiang and the cook according to modern methods, so that the emperor was very satisfied.

"It's a good dish, but no chef has ever done it before. This must have been made by Concubine Ai's cook, right?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Xiao Mingxiang was happy, and the emperor really asked according to her plan, and immediately replied: "This is the recipe I saw in a travelogue, and I thought it was good, so I asked the cook to make it according to the recipe." The travelogue is very interesting, not only with recipes, but also with how to make glass!"

"Liuli?" the emperor was surprised, "It should be difficult to make something as valuable as Liuli, right?"

"It's not difficult at all, and the materials needed are very cheap, and you can fire them out of sand and stones. Xiao Mingxiang made an incredulous expression, "Those merchants who make and sell colored glass can make money, and this colored glass is a profitable business." ”

The emperor was moved by this, and hurriedly said, "Where is Fangzi?" Take it out and let me see." ”

The concubine remembered it and immediately wrote it to the emperor. Xiao Mingxiang said.

The emperor immediately ordered someone to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he personally polished Xiao Mingxiang's ink. Xiao Mingxiang picked up the pen, took a deep breath, and began to write. Thanks to the original body's skills, otherwise she is such a person who is used to the keyboard and rarely writes, and the pen will reveal flaws. In other words, the original owner's hairpin is really good-looking.

After writing, before he could put down the pen, the emperor snatched the paper full of words and looked at it carefully.

"Well, it's easy to make and the materials are cheap, if I can really make glass, my treasury won't be empty anymore. The emperor was very happy after reading it, and then said with a little regret, "It's a pity that Fang Zi came a little late, if it had been earlier, I wouldn't have been troubled." ”

"What's the emperor's troubles?" Xiao Mingxiang hurriedly asked with concern about the completion of the task.

When the emperor heard her ask, he also wanted to find someone to confide in his troubles, so he told Xiao Mingxiang in one go: "It's not about disaster relief in a few disaster-stricken places, the treasury has no money, how to provide disaster relief?"

Xiao Mingxiang's eyes rolled, this problem is easy to solve, many people have said solutions in crossing.

"Your Majesty, I have a stupid solution, I don't know if it can be used?" Xiao Mingxiang made a hesitant expression.

"If there's any way, just say it. Even if you say something wrong, I won't punish you. The emperor is now very interested in Xiao Mingxiang's idea, he feels that Xiao Mingxiang is like his lucky star, maybe the idea she says can really help him.

Xiao Mingxiang was assured, and said boldly with confidence: "The concubines heard that the richest people in the world are businessmen, but their status is very low. The emperor might as well let the businessmen donate money and materials to assist in disaster relief, and when the time comes, give those businessmen some false lords or write a plaque and send a holy decree to reward them, and those businessmen will definitely be proud and actively donate money and materials. ”

When the emperor heard this, he said, "Isn't this a buying and selling official?"

Xiao Mingxiang said: "How is this a buying and selling official, but a reward specially given by the emperor to thank the merchants for their contribution to the victims." Moreover, the emperor does not give all of them official titles, but only rewards the three people who donate the most official positions. It is enough for other businessmen to commend them with a holy decree, anyway, it is the Zhongshu Sheren who drafts the decree, and he can't tire the emperor. ”

After hearing this, the emperor laughed: "This method is good, the concubine is quite resourceful, and it is really Zhuge among women." ”

Yes, I robbed the heroine's name and positioning. Xiao Mingxiang looked at the word "Complete" on the taskbar and was extremely happy.

The emperor relieved his heart, the whole person relaxed, and when he saw the beauty in front of him, he was moved, and stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Mingxiang's wrist: "Concubine Ai, it's late at night, go to bed peacefully!"

The hibiscus tent warms up the spring night.

The next day, after the emperor ascended to the court, he asked the merchants to contribute money and materials to help the disaster relief according to Xiao Mingxiang's proposal, and hung a carrot on the heads of the merchants. The effect of this carrot was very good, and many businessmen rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward to fight for it, so that the victims were quickly resettled, and the reconstruction project in the disaster area was also very smooth. The emperor was so pleased that he rewarded the three merchants who had donated the most, each of whom gave the false title of lieutenant of a light chariot. The rest of the merchants who donated also issued holy decrees to commend them, meaningfully giving one or two items, which were kept as family heirlooms by the merchants.

The emperor could not have been more satisfied with this effect, and the manufacture of glass was contested by wealthy and wealthy merchants, so that the emperor's private treasury and the treasury were rich. The emperor thought that both things were the credit of Xiao Mingxiang, and ordered that Xiao Mingxiang be named Wanyi, and his position was higher than that of Lu Hongxun.

Ganquan Palace changed the tea set as usual, and the emperor received a report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was noncommittal about the behavior of the precious concubine, in fact, the emperor's feelings for the precious concubine have almost been consumed, but he does not care about the precious concubine in small matters, and if the precious concubine does something to frame other concubines as before, the emperor will definitely no longer spare it.

Time flies quickly, nearly half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the palace maid has licked a few more pregnant women, and Lu Hongxun is also in the ranks of pregnant women, but her fetus has just been found out, and it is less than two months. Lin Baiyu gave everyone the medicinal herbs and silk fairly, different from the gratitude of others to the queen, Lu Honghun carefully put away the medicinal materials and silk, she didn't trust the queen. If the queen is really so generous, why are there only two princes in the palace today? One of them is still the queen's son. For the sake of this son, can the queen allow them to give birth to children that jeopardize the status of the eldest prince?

Not only is the queen very defensive, but Lu Hongxun is even more defensive of Xiao Mingxiang, she thinks that among the new batch of newcomers entering the palace, she and Xiao Mingxiang are opponents, and she is pregnant, how can Xiao Mingxiang be willing, and she will definitely find a way to assassinate herself. She was guarding against the wrong person, and in the entire palace, Lin Baiyu and Xiao Mingxiang didn't care about her stomach. Lin Baiyu has confidence in the eldest prince, even if the emperor has more sons, the throne will eventually be the eldest prince. [.]
