Chapter 29: The Majesty of the Empress
Yunxi asked her mother to choose a few skilled workers for each process, and the rest of the workers put aside the work at hand first. Each process must be strictly controlled. From ginning, stretching cotton to weaving, printing and dyeing, garment-making, ironing. Be quality.
Yun Xi held a meeting with the skilled workers selected by his mother, and analyzed the stakes, if this time the palace sales shun lĂŹ each worker was awarded five taels of silver, who made a mistake and sent ten taels. Yun Xi was still not at ease, so he found a meeting with the director of the workshop and announced the reward and punishment system for them. Each workshop director will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for doing a good job, and he will be fined twenty taels for not doing well.
Whether it is from the workshop director or the workers, they all tighten the strings and are ready to go.
On the palace side, the crown prince is discussing with the queen how to get the emperor to agree to buy Xiaoxi's clothes.
In the evening, the queen freshened up and dressed up, and began to wait for the emperor, waiting left and right for the emperor to still not come, "Xiaocui, you go and ask Gonggong Li, why hasn't the emperor come yet," I thought to myself, didn't the prince say that he had already brought the words? Said he had something to give him. Although he has never given him something for no reason, he often sends things to himself, but this time he really has something to give. I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
After a while, Xiaocui will come back, the queen mother, Gonggong Li said; "The emperor was dragged by Concubine Xing on the way here", and the queen heard "Okay, great." This concubine Xing and her own Liangzi are married, and they dare to cut off themselves from themselves, and they don't look at who they are. Who is the head of the house, which onion and garlic is she counted. Today, I won't let the emperor rest with her, to see what she can do with herself.
"Xiao Cui went to the Apricot Palace, the palace is going to meet this apricot concubine", Xiao Cui didn't dare to say anything, and followed the queen to the Apricot Palace with a fierce attitude. "Xiao Cui went up and smashed the door for me", Xiao Cui hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, why didn't he dare.
Xiao Cui hurriedly knelt down, "The queen's mother and slave don't dare, for fear that the emperor will blame." â
"Coward, I'll come" said that he went up and smashed the door, and soon the door opened a crack and a maid poked her head out, and when she saw that it was the queen mother, she was frightened and hurriedly opened the door, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "The maid sees the queen mother."
"Get up, where is Concubine Xing?"
"The queen mother, the apricot concubine and the emperor are resting."
"Rest, it seems that I'm late, but it doesn't matter, you can get up, go and call her up, just say I'm in a hurry." Yahuan knelt there in fright, not daring to get up.
"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go." Saying that, he pushed the door and went in, came to the door of the bedroom, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and heard someone inside scolding, "Who is disturbing my sleep, pull it out and cut it," and I heard Concubine Xing say: "Your Majesty, you rest first, I'll go and see." "When Concubine Xing opened the door to see, what was the situation, although she was intercepting people halfway, she had fallen asleep, and she still came to ask for someone, and she was not afraid of the emperor's blame. Although he was a little displeased, he still smiled and saluted and said, "It's so late, I don't know what my sister is doing here?" The queen approached Concubine Xing.
"Do you really not know, or do you not know".
"Of course I don't know what my sister said."
"The emperor asked me to manage **, I have something important to discuss today, let the prince go to the study to call the emperor. You intercepted people halfway, and it's your responsibility to have an accident. â
As soon as Concubine Xing heard that she had to take responsibility, she regretted it a little, she should never have intercepted the emperor when the emperor had something important. If something happens to this, a little concubine can't afford it. The fate of the concubine since ancient times is that the emperor will spoil you if he likes you, and if he doesn't like it, he will enter the cold palace.
Hurriedly said to the queen: "Sister, you wait for me to call the emperor." â
Concubine Xing came back and knelt down and said, "It's my sister, my sister said that there is something important to discuss, I think the emperor should go to Zizhu Palace!"
If you delay something, the concubine can't afford to pay the responsibility! â
"Don't let her make trouble, what's important." Didn't I think I just didn't go to her?
I saw that this apricot concubine was still energetic, and she couldn't get up on her knees. The emperor was angry, "You get up, can't I go?" Someone came to change clothes. â
When I came out, I saw the queen and Xiaocui leaving a cruel sentence, "Zitong, you'd better be really something."
Xiao Cui was so frightened that she trembled, and the queen looked at Xiao Cui and said, "Of course there is something, otherwise what do you think, you don't think that I miss you, right?" â
The emperor glared: "Hurry up", he really can't do anything with his queen, sometimes she is like a child, making you angry, but there is still a set of management **, which is what the prime minister is used to.
After entering the house, the queen took out the nen clothes given by Yunxi and showed it to the emperor: "Do you like it?" The emperor unfolded clothes, soft fabrics, delicate patterns. "Well, I like it, I like whatever Zitong sends."
The queen changed the topic, "I wonder if the emperor still remembers a little girl named Xiaoxi who painted a portrait of us a while ago?" The emperor thought for a while, "It's the one who competed with Qin Kai."
"Yes! Oh, yes! If that little girl is really not easy, this is what the little girl and my cousin co-founded in the garment workshop did. I guess it's going to be the New Year, isn't it? This ** should buy two sets of nei clothes per person. As she spoke, she untied her clothes and changed into the belly pocket shorts that Yun Xi gave her in front of the emperor. After changing, he put out a poss, winked at the emperor, and what do you say? The emperor swallowed his saliva when he saw his queen's charming appearance, "You can look at it, after all, this fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, right?" After speaking, he picked up the queen, put it on the bed, and lowered the curtain. He also muttered, "These pants are a little short." â
The next day, the queen began to count the number and size of the required nei clothes, because she didn't understand very well, the queen asked the chief manager to invite a seamstress from outside to measure the size of the concubines, and record the size, color, and pattern of the nei clothes needed by each concubine. There are also some concubines' big girl rings that are also set per person, the most important thing is those princesses, brothers, the color pattern must be remembered. It took a whole night to figure it out. The queen was already exhausted. After dinner, I was about to rest, and someone came to report to Concubine Xing asking to see her, and the queen really wanted to say no. But considering that she is the head of the house, she should be generous.
So he said to Yahuan, "Let her in." â
After the apricot concubine came in, she saw the queen lying crookedly on the couch, and hurriedly said: "Look at my sister's tiredness, it was my sister's fault yesterday, and my sister is here to make amends today, sister, you can forgive your sister!" "
The queen is so angry! This apricot concubine was deliberate, afraid that she would not die of exhaustion, so she came here to add ingredients.
"Ahh I forgive you, are you done? Let's go! I am tired. â
"Since my sister is tired, let's rest early! This is a hometown specialty brought by my family, take it and ask my sister to taste it, "After speaking, put down the things, say goodbye and leave, what should the queen be, isn't it bayberry?" Also a specialty, I ate it when I was three years old,
Yell; "What a broken thing, Xiao Cui threw it." It seems that these little hooves will not be able to repair it.
