After Lin Yan freshened up, put on her makeup, then walked to the couch and sat down, and took the first letter from Lin Ying and Youyu from the northwest from Mu Zhi.

Zhuang's letter mainly talked about some daily trivial things in the northwest, saying that his belly has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and the child is moving more and more, and he is very worried that this one will be a naughty boy when he comes out. He also said that a few days after they came, a small number of Hu people in the northwest invaded the border, and Cheng Liang, who was only ten years old, clamored to go with his father and brother to fight Hu people, but he was shocked and fell off the horse, and almost died under the Hu people's golden knife, but fortunately Cheng Gang saved him.

sighed again and said, Cheng Gang looks like a stuffy gourd on weekdays, but there are still their parents and brothers in his heart, and Aunt Shang's affairs have been so long, she should also let go and should not be angry with Cheng Gang's mother, and said that her mother is in the capital, although her IQ is a little worrying, but for the sake of her sisters, if you can teach her, teach her to help a little, and the best thing is to twist her unclear temperament back.

Lin Ying's letter was shorter, more like an excerpt to the emperor, reporting the military situation, saying that he wanted to adjust the northwest frontier defense, and only at the end did he say a family background, "Worship Niangniang to give the name of the unborn child".

Youyu's letter is the most interesting, she went out for the first time, the customs of the northwest are completely different from the capital, she is curious about everything, the northwest of the horse, the earth fort, the vast uninhabited loess, and some Hu people in the border to sell small boots, sheepskins, etc., and said that the sixth brother also took her to the Hu people to look like the Hu people to visit the place, and finally sighed that the people in the northwest are really poor, they can't even afford to live in the house, and they have to live in the soil.

She's talking about the caves in the northwest. The northwest wind and sand are strong, and in some places it is very easy to be blown down by the wind, so many people will live in caves.

Lin Yan couldn't help but smile knowingly, and put these letters in the box.

The Tong envoy of Shangyi Bureau came over with last month's Tong book, and Lin Yan flipped through it casually.

Jiang Cairen for three days, Wang Cairen for two days, and the rest of the new concubines who entered the palace for one day each, such as Wu Guifei, Cui Xianfei and Hu Zhaorong, the old people in the palace, the emperor often went to sit when he was free, but he rarely stayed overnight, and most of the rest of the time the emperor stayed in Changkun Palace.

The emperor probably still wants a bowl of water for the palace concubines in the harem, and tries to make the rain and dew evenly wet, but he favors Jiang Cairen a little, but he is also very restrained, Wang Cairen can have one more day than others, it is entirely because her surname is Wang, and the emperor plans to reuse the people of the Wang family.

After Lin Yan read it, she stamped it again, and then handed it back to the Tong envoy to take it back for archiving.

But after Li Tong took the Tong book, he did not leave immediately, but said to Lin Yan: "Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang wants to read the Tong book, you see ......"

After more than half a year, the harem is basically in the hands of Lin Yan, and if Wu Guifei wants to do something without her consent as before, it is basically impossible. It stands to reason that in addition to the emperor, only Lin Yan, the queen, can read it, of course, before Lin Yan entered the palace, Wu Guifei could also do it, but it was not because she had this authority.

Lin Yan nodded, didn't say anything, and waved her hand to let her go down.

When the palace concubine asked for peace, Lin Yan glanced at Wu Guifei who was sitting next to her.

The crown prince has begun to listen to the government, Wu Guifei has been a little anxious recently, and has been jumping with the Wu family for a while, walking around, wanting the emperor to agree to let the second prince also go to the court, for which he even agreed to the emperor's policy of increasing commercial taxes, but the emperor finally did not agree to let the second prince participate in politics like the prince.

For this reason, Wu Guifei's temper is also a little big, and I heard that yesterday she also punished a palace maid to the Yeting Palace, just because she broke a tea bowl.

Lin Yan opened her mouth and said, "Guifei, I heard that you want to flip through the Tong book?" ”

Wu Guifei snorted disdainfully in her heart, she didn't know when this queen would eat away at her roots in the harem little by little. If it was before, she had to flip through a Tong book, who would dare to say anything.

As a result, this time when she asked the palace maid to go to the Shangyi Bureau to ask for it, the people of the Shangyi Bureau said with a smile on their faces that the Tong book had not been sorted out yet, and they would personally send it to Zhaoyang Palace after it was sorted out, but in a blink of an eye, they reported the matter to the queen. The palace maid was also stupid, and she came back empty-handed like this, but as soon as she heard it, she knew that the people from the Shangyi Bureau were perfunctory to her.

Wu Guifei stretched out her hand, looked at her danko-painted fingers, and said casually: "What's so strange about the concubine wanting to turn it over, the queen mother asked everyone in this harem, who doesn't want to turn it." The queen mother has big fish and meat, but don't even give the broth to the concubines to smell. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xi and said, "You said yes, Jiang Cairen." ”

Jiang Xi looked a little haggard today, his face lacked blood, and his spirit looked a little trance-like when he sat on the chair, and he didn't know if he was sick or how.

Hearing that Wu Guifei dragged her into the battle with the queen, she was a little annoyed, but she pretended not to hear anything, and asked in a trance: "Ah? What is the concubine talking about? Saying that, he stood up, bowed to Lin Yan and Wu Guifei, and said, "I'm sorry, the queen mother, the concubine, the concubine has been feeling a little unwell recently, and her spirit is not good, and she has just been out of her mind for a while, and she didn't hear what the two mothers were saying." ”

Concubine Cui Xian and Hu Zhaorong glanced at each other and did not speak.

Lin Yan directly skipped Jiang Xi, as if thinking about it seriously, then nodded, and said: "What the concubine said is also reasonable, since everyone cares about the Tong book so much, after the seal is used every month in the future, the palace will ask the Shangyi Bureau to copy a few copies and send one to each palace, so that you don't have to hide and inquire." ”

Mu Qing frowned when he heard this.

The rest of the concubines originally lowered their heads, but when they heard Lin Yan's words, they raised their heads in surprise, and they couldn't believe that the queen would say such a thing.

Only the queen can read the Tong book, but since ancient times, the concubines of the harem can't prevent the concubines from asking left and right, but after all, this involves the emperor's private affairs, and no queen has dared to announce it to the world with such fanfare. Of course, if they can read Tong Envoy, they will naturally be happy.

The palace concubines looked at each other, and they didn't know for a moment whether to kneel down and thank them, or to confess for the queen's "hidden inquiry".

Lin Yan didn't have time to care about what they were thinking, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's disperse today." After speaking, he took a sip of tea and said that he was sending off the guests.

The palace concubines retired one by one, Mu Qing glanced at Lin Yan, and said with some disapproval: "Niangniang, the matter of Tong's book, Niangniang shouldn't be so hasty." ”

The palace concubine was not allowed to read the Tong book without authorization, originally because she was afraid that the palace concubine would tamper with the Tong history record after reading it, not to mention that this involved the emperor's private affairs, so I am afraid that it is a bit disrespectful to the Holy Body.

Lin Yan said: "It's okay, all they give them is a copy of the copy, and they can't touch the original." Rather than letting them inquire in private like this, causing the palace maids and eunuchs to go around, it is better to move it to the table. ”
