Chapter 166: Lukewarm

Chu Xuanyu turned around and returned to Yilan Garden, he had to discuss this matter with Yu Ling first.

"Ling'er, there is something that my husband wants to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

Yu Ling looked at him with a solemn face, and felt a little bad in his heart.

He sat on the chair and gently wrapped his arms around Yu Ling's waist, "For the husband...... wants to raise Yun'er as a side concubine, after all, he once promised her that if she is pregnant with an heir, she will be a side concubine, and now, she is also pregnant, and it is time to fulfill her promise. ”

Yu Ling trembled a little, he didn't even notice that Cheng Yun'er was stealing beams and changing pillars, and he ******** thought that the masked woman he met on the day of the Shangyuan Festival was Cheng Yun'er.

She was completely speechless, well, in that case, just wait for me to give you a special surprise.

"Since it is the husband's person, some of them are decided by the husband, and there is no need to discuss."

This sentence, every word, was said by Yu Ling with the piercing pain in his heart, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, but he was deeply hurt in his heart, it turned out that he still couldn't let go.

On the second day, Chu Xuanyu announced the promotion of Cheng Yun'er as a side concubine in front of the palace.

Some people are happy and some are worried, looking at Cheng Yun'er's proud face, the corners of Yu Ling's mouth hooked, proud, happy, when the dust settles, it will be the day of your great sorrow!

"Congratulations to Sister Yun'er, after looking forward to it for so many years, I finally got my wish!"

Cheng Yun'er snorted coldly, "Thank you, sister, in the future, I need my sister to mention more." ”

"Well said!"

Chu Xuanyu didn't know why, he was always uncomfortable in his heart, Yu Ling and Cheng Yun'er's yin and yang weird dialogue made him feel like a fish in his throat, is it right or wrong to do this?

Although Yu Ling did not appear to be particularly angry on the surface, her actual actions completely exposed her heart.

She had a cold war with Chu Xuanyu, and her speech was always lukewarm, although he was trying to coax her and please her, Yu Ling was still indifferent, which made him very depressed.

On the third day of the second lunar month, there were still two days before the New Year, Yu Ling was in charge of the affairs of the house, the food, supplies, cloths and other items prepared for the New Year, there were countless things, listening to the housekeeper's report, looking at the dense account books, she had a headache.

These things alone cost more than 400,000 taels of silver, which is not a small expense.

"Why are there so many?" She flipped through the ledger.

"Back to the princess, it was like this in previous years, there were more than 200 mouthfuls in the house, food and clothing, and red envelopes for the people in the New Year, all of which were in it."

Yu Ling nodded, there are many rules in big families, not to mention that Chu Xuanyu is a prince and a relative of the emperor, so it is possible that this cost is large.

She flipped through a few more pages, and there were 80,000 taels of expenditures, which made her wonder, "What is the matter with these 80,000 taels?" ”

"Back to the princess, this is what Concubine Cheng wants." The housekeeper answered truthfully.

She slammed the ledger on the table, "What did you ask for 80,000 taels?" How much money does the prince give in a month? It's ridiculous to squander it like this! ”

The housekeeper was so frightened that he wiped a cold sweat secretly, this princess, who has always been gentle and cold, actually has such a big temper!

Later, she continued:

"The prince is too hardworking, it is not easy to get the silver, and he has to feed more than 200 people in the whole house, and he has spent so much in the past few days of the New Year, if he doesn't save expenses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support, and these things will be returned, and he will save them!"

"But, but, when Concubine Cheng asked, would it be ......?"

"Just say that I mean, if there is any dissatisfaction, just let her come to me!"

"Yes."

Cheng Yun'er's jewelry, jade ornaments, and not a single one of them was delivered, and she was angry with the housekeeper again.

"Steward Xu! What the hell is going on? Why did I return everything I wanted? ”

The housekeeper lowered his head, "Hui Cheng Side Concubine, it was the princess who explained that she wanted to save money for the house, so everything you wanted was returned." ”

"Savings?" She sneered, "It's all saved on me?" She's deliberately bothering me, isn't she? ”

"The princess said, if Concubine Cheng has any dissatisfaction, just go to her." The housekeeper said slowly.

"Looking for her? Of course I'm looking for her! ”

She ran to Yilan Garden angrily, intending to ask Yu Ling for an explanation.

And Yu Ling was counting the items in the yard at this time, and Cheng Yun'er broke into the garden with the maid in a menacing manner, and the people in the garden didn't stop her.

"What do you mean by sister?"

Yu Ling knew that she would come to settle the score, and she was ready to deal with it for a long time, "What's wrong?" ”

She didn't look up at her, and continued what she had just done.

"Why did you return all the items ordered by the concubine?" She no longer hid it, and said it directly.

"What is it that made you angry, it turns out that this is because of this."

She put down the list in her hand, "That's right, I gave it back, what's wrong?" Do you have an opinion? ”

Cheng Yun'er took a breath,

"Yes? If you have an opinion, you have to keep it, right? My sister is now in charge of the big and small affairs in the house, and the prince also said that there is something to be approved by my sister, and it is understandable that these things ordered by the concubine did not have the consent of my sister. ”

Yu Ling raised his eyebrows, ho! Just been promoted as a side concubine and became tough?

"If you know, why do you bother?"

"You!" Cheng Yun'er was angry, "Yu Linglong, I knew that you couldn't see that the prince loved me, so I thought about the law against me, didn't you!" ”

"How much does the prince have in a month? How many months of money did you spend on him with such a large sum of money? Have you ever wondered? ”

"You don't talk about the prince! In the past, I would give whatever I wanted, and I never frowned, but now it's good, you can see all the silver in your eyes, what are you not deliberately going against me!? ”

Cheng Yun'er's sharp voice attracted many onlookers, and looking at more and more people, she became even more unscrupulous.

"Concubine Cheng, please pay attention to your words, this is in Yilan Garden, not Liuyun Pavilion, not what's more, you are committing the following crimes!" Ziying couldn't look at it, a side concubine, she actually dared to yell at the main concubine, it was simply lawless and presumptuous!

Cheng Yun'er glared at Ziying fiercely, "Little slut, the master speaks, how can you intervene!" ”

"You!"

Ziying was about to quarrel with her, but was stopped by Yu Ling, "Cheng Yun'er, I advise you to retract what you just said, if this matter reaches the ears of the prince, no one will look good." ”

Yu Ling's light tone, I couldn't tell if she was angry, the more so, the more it fueled her arrogance.

"Haha! Are you also afraid of being known by the prince? I sue you, this bit of silver is a drop in the bucket for the prince, what do you say to save expenses? Look you're targeting me! ”

"What's the noise?"

Chu Xuanyu's gloomy voice came into the garden, and it was because of Yu Ling's cold attitude that he was upset in the past few days, and when he entered the door, he heard Cheng Yun'er making a lot of noise here.

"Lord Wang~"

Cheng Yun'er was delicate, and posted it with a look of grievance, "The concubine ordered a few things, and was rejected by my sister, and the concubine couldn't figure it out for a while, so I came to my sister, and the voice just now was inevitably louder, which shocked the prince, and asked the prince to punish him." ”

The subordinates present had to admire her ability to act, so they were all curious about what would happen next.

"This king said that Ling'er has the final say on all matters in the house, and if it is dismissed, it will be dismissed, and you should save some money."

Hearing Chu Xuanyu facing Yu Ling, Cheng Yun'er didn't give up, "Lord, those things are the concubine's favorite things, and I plan to buy them for the prince as a New Year's gift, how can I give them to the prince!" ”

Chu Xuanyu became more and more upset.

"Yun'er, the livelihood of the victims in the northwest has become a problem now, but we have squandered luxury in the capital, and the silver spent in the past few days is enough for them to spend the winter, what else do you want?"

He sighed, "Go back, this king is tired." ”
