The New Year is coming soon, Hua Ying is busy again, but it can be regarded as enriching herself, the affairs of the Celebrant Bureau are busy, but it is also a good opportunity to show herself, last year she was praised by the emperor and the queen mother, because of the exquisite arrangement, it can also be regarded as a recognition of her handling of palace affairs.

The third elder brother's illness has not been good and thorough, and the queen has become more and more busy these days, not only because of the third elder brother's illness and palace affairs, but also because of the question between the queen mother and the emperor.

"The rest of you all go down, the queen stays, if the emperor has time, you can also wait, the mourning family has something to say." Once after the Cining Palace asked for peace, the queen was named by the queen mother to stay, and since the queen mother spoke, the emperor also stayed.

"The mourning family heard that the queen had caused public anger, so they left the queen and called the emperor to comment together."

"Queen Mother, there are a lot of gossips in the palace, you don't have to listen to others, the concubines have been doing their best to deal with palace affairs these days, how can it cause public anger." The queen didn't wait for the queen mother to finish speaking, so she said categorically, her heart was puzzled and irritable, and she even felt that the queen mother was looking for trouble.

The queen mother wanted to say that she had only heard about this matter, not to settle accounts with the queen, but she knew that the queen was not polite, so she was no longer tactful: "The queen is sure that no one is dissatisfied with your behavior and is so confident, so let's talk about the fact that you have been thrifty in recent years, but only for low-ranking concubines and subordinates." ”

Before the queen mother's words fell, the queen immediately denied it: "I don't know where the queen mother heard such a thing, the concubines practice frugality, but they are always fair and just, how can it only be aimed at low-ranking sisters and subordinates." ”

"Queen." The emperor said loudly: "Let the queen mother finish speaking, the queen mother will naturally not wronged you, and you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

Seeing that the queen mother was a little impatient because of the queen's fierce reaction and repeated interruptions, the emperor reminded the queen, and the queen still felt that she had been framed: "The concubine just thinks that someone deliberately said this to the queen mother, wanting to sow discord or slander the reputation of the concubine." ”

"The mourning family doesn't want to slander you, but when they heard about it, they wanted to make it clear to you, if the matter is not true, they will naturally punish those who chew the root of the tongue, you don't have to be so eager to prove your innocence, the pure will clear themselves, this kind of truth will not be understood by the queen."

So far, the queen can only feel aggrieved, and then resignedly: "It's the concubine who is in a hurry, please continue to talk about the queen mother." ”

"First of all, there is a charcoal fire, there is no standard for you to reduce charcoal, and there are indeed many charcoal used in the palace every year, but why only the number of concubines below the rank of concubine has been reduced, this is one of them. Then you manage the internal affairs of the harem, although there are other concubines to assist in the six palaces, but the account books of the internal affairs office are still in charge of you, the queen, why didn't you find that many unfavored concubines have been deducted more than a little, this is the second. In the end, it was the mourning family that let Zhu Li secretly investigate, and many people in the Internal Affairs Office were used to cutting corners, and then filling their pockets, basically with power in their hands. If you want to be thrifty, you must first start with your own people, otherwise it will be in vain, this is the third thing that the mourning family has found, and the queen can now explain them one by one. ”

The queen mother is clearly organized, at a glance is prepared, the three points listed are visible, the queen can not deny, she is indeed worried that the emperor and the queen mother blame her for not having a good demeanor, so she cut the number of concubines below the concubine position, there are many queen people in the internal affairs office, it is estimated that they think that they are familiar with the queen, the queen has never disciplined, and she often hides the silver in her own pocket with one eye closed.

The queen didn't know where to start explaining for a while, hesitated for a moment, knew that the emperor was here, and she must find ways to cover up the past, so she pretended to be calm and said: "The concubine is not aimed at which sister, and the reduction of the black charcoal below the concubine position is also carefully considered, because the low-ranking concubines do not need to raise the imperial heir, and they don't need much on weekdays, even if they are slightly reduced, it is enough for food and clothing, plus the concubines often take care of those sisters, but the concubines make their own decisions, and ask the emperor and the emperor to atone for their sins." ”

"As for the two points that the emperor said later, it is the negligence of the concubines and they don't know, the minions of the internal affairs office may have worshiped the high and stepped on the low, and the concubines will rectify themselves, and they also bother the emperor to remind the concubines, it is really the concubines." The queen picked up unimportant points and wanted to perfunctory the past, and what she said was all frivolous, as if what the queen mother said was insignificant.

"When the queen said this, it seemed that the mourning family had nothing to do." The Queen Mother heard the queen's words and sneered: "The queen said that those concubines are enough for her needs, I don't know if I listened to them or went to their palace to see them in person?"

“…… The concubines would always ask the sisters of each palace when they asked for peace. "The queen now prays that the queen mother can let herself go once, but unfortunately she is wrong.

"Then why did you make such a shameless mess last time?" The queen mother simply didn't stretch it anymore, it seems that she told the queen that the queen is still a dead duck with a hard mouth, since she asked the queen to stay today, she has already found out the cause: "The matter of the Shun nobles is the emperor who mourns the family together, the queen does not have to be dissatisfied, and besides, the red basket charcoal of the Shun nobles is given by Concubine Yun, why should you be aggressive." ”

"Queen, although I know that you advocate frugality, I also think that you treat everyone equally, how can you only deduct the share of low-ranking concubines? I have never consulted with me. "The emperor didn't understand why the queen mother asked herself to stay because of this little thing in the harem, but now she also understands that the queen mother is telling herself that the queen's serious dereliction of duty will cause instability in the harem, even if the queen thinks that some people are insignificant, but when they are gathered, they can also set off waves, and if they want to balance the harem, they can't just rely on those high-ranking concubines.

The queen's face turned pale, and it was the first time she was accused like this, so she was a little confused, but fortunately, she still understood the emperor's temperament for so many years: "The concubine knows her mistake, but the concubine is not thoughtful, and some sisters suffer, and after she goes back, the concubine immediately rectifies the internal affairs office." ”

Picking up the light again, the queen's words are like this, but the queen mother will not let her go easily: "The queen doesn't think this is a trivial matter, the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty, if this matter is a big problem, it is better to let others watch the royal jokes, not to mention that you have been the queen for so many years, you don't know how to think before doing things, and you don't know how to reflect after doing something wrong, so how can the mourning family rest assured that they can enjoy their old age." ”

The Queen Mother then became even more full of aura and sharp-eyed: "Before this internal affairs office was handed over to the queen, no one dared to be so arrogant, stepping on the master's head, I don't know how the queen handled the affairs of the harem, so they were so bold." ”

The queen mother did not deliberately say this to the queen, but to seek truth from facts, she became the queen mother, and at the same time shouldered the burden of harem things early, if the queen can calm down this time and think about it and rectify it, the queen mother will change her opinion.

"It's the concubine who connived at them, not the concubine who deliberately wanted to do this."

Although the queen's hands are upright, she is actually secretly using her strength, it seems that the queen mother is determined to let her be punished this time, the queen is really not so easy to be.

"The mourning family knows, it's just that the matter has come to this, whether intentionally or not, the most important thing is to let them not make a decision, you, the queen, should also show your own posture, and don't be merciful when you should be resolute." The Queen Mother was able to say that she was already taking care of the queen, and pointing out a clear path for her also gave her some face.

"Thank you for the guidance of the emperor, the concubine will not live up to the expectations of the emperor in the future." The queen can feel the queen mother's meaning, just give herself a chance, but the queen feels that she is the queen in her heart, and it is impossible to do everything, and the queen mother is inevitably too fussy, and let the emperor listen to it.

The emperor saw that the matter was resolved, and his favorability towards the queen was reduced, but he didn't say anything, the queen he chose had to have some stamina, and he also knew that it took some thought to deal with the affairs of the harem, plus the third elder brother still needs the queen's personal care, so he forgave the queen more, but he didn't know that the queen spent very little time with the third elder brother, and every day he asked the third elder brother about his condition and then took a look at it as a companion.

"This time, the Shun nobles have really made a great achievement, so that the concubines and concubines at the bottom of the harem can live a better life, I don't know how to thank the Shun nobles." Yu Guiren smiled and picked up the wine glass in his hand, although it was just a plum blossom wine that was not so strong, but it also represented his own heart.

Only a few of them know about the noble people going to find the queen mother, otherwise if the queen knows, it will inevitably be another-for-tat, sometimes Hua Ying admires the noble Shun very much, she is the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name, although she has helped many people do good things, but she doesn't say it, even if she has the implication of protecting herself, she doesn't seek fame and fortune, because she can rely on Hua Ying, and she doesn't need to help others fight for anything.

Hua Ying looked at the Shun nobles with satisfaction, and then said to Hui Xin: "Today we are happy, you go and get a jar of treasured plum blossom wine, by the way, and then go to the small kitchen to bring a plate of green three fresh, and a plate of snowflake cake, one to drink, one can also fill the stomach of the Shun noble." ”

"Sister, you seem to say that I only know how to eat, but I really want to eat more, after all, it can be regarded as a solution to one thing in my heart." Shun Guiren unceremoniously stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said happily, even the people who cloth the vegetables will be omitted.

"Shun noble, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, why did you go to the Queen Mother? You don't need to go to the Queen Mother in the first place, it's for the sake of Yu Guiren or Rou Chang, I really don't understand. "Concubine Jing is to some extent a person who is better than less than one thing, and it is normal for the two of them to sometimes think on the same level.

"I just feel that I have been in the palace for a few years, and I have spent day after day in a mess, and now that I have the seventh princess, I should also do something meaningful that can teach her the truth in the future, teach her to be brave when she encounters things, to have empathy, and tell her that even if her status is not so high, she is just a princess and not an elder brother, and she can also use the things around her to achieve what she needs."

It turned out that unconsciously, Shun Guiren had already thought that after that, it was not the girl who only knew how to flutter butterflies, but these words made Concubine Jing a little silent, she was that kind of person, there was no pursuit, and she also felt that he was safe when she gave birth to the fourth elder brother, and now it seems that she should leave some meaningful memories for the fourth elder brother.

Hua Ying, who saw Concubine Jing's thoughts, picked up her wine glass and touched it: "No matter what you think in your heart, there is no right or wrong, you don't have to follow anyone, you are also a good lady, and the fourth elder brother will always miss you." ”
