Chapter 16: Count on her
The Queen Mother looked at the many concubines and thought tactfully.
"Summoning the concubines over today, just to share the emperor's worries and solve problems, now the palace has been blown beyond recognition by the explosives of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and I want to rebuild the people and money, and the treasury is at its tightest time, the mourning family wants to see what good plans you have?"
Jing Chuchu secretly poked and rolled his eyes, this was the queen who asked them to ask for money, the house was bombed, and there was no money to rebuild, so he hit them with the idea.
I'm afraid this is the main topic.
Concubine Shu took the lead in standing up and saluted the Queen Mother, with a demeanor of everyone.
"Back to the queen mother's words, the emperor was busy with political affairs, and now the palace has been razed to the ground, the concubines should be for the emperor to share the worries and solve problems, the father of the family is the prime minister, the money is quite rich, and the mother and the family are in a good way, if the concubines go back, they will definitely be able to get some, and do their best."
What he said was not leaky, he not only made a difference, but also gave the emperor face, and I don't know how much I can get back.
With Concubine Shu taking the lead, the other concubines are naturally not far behind.
Although Jing Chuchu, the imperial concubine, has not yet expressed her position, seeing that everyone has gone back to her parents' house to get money to help the emperor, then she can't escape even if she wants to!
"The concubine is also willing to return to the General's Mansion and contribute to the reconstruction of the palace." Why is she embarrassed to go home and ask for money? But the current situation forced her to follow the tide.
"Well, this is very good, since everyone has the heart to share the emperor's worries and solve problems, we must serve the emperor well in the future and open up branches for the royal family as soon as possible." When the Queen Mother's goal is achieved, she is naturally happy.
Jing Chu has been worried since she first came out of Shouxin Palace, how can she talk to her family?
"Niangniang, can you worry about going back to ask for money?"
Lu Zhu knew her mind best, and she didn't understand what she was worried about now.
"Yes! How much of a fortune is it to build a palace? Just rely on the efforts of our concubines......" She shook her head, always feeling that it was not very possible.
"Oops! Why is the mother so depressed? I think our third son is rich and rivals the country, don't say that it is a palace, and ten of them can also be built, as long as the mother goes back and speaks, it is not a matter of being caught? Cui Ping didn't care about opening her mouth, and she didn't feel distressed at all.
Jing Chuchu gave her a look and didn't speak.
The Jing family held her in the palm of her hand from top to bottom, and she was willing to be a chess piece in the hands of the emperor when she entered the palace, in order to protect the prosperity of the Jing family, how long has she been in the palace? She was going back to her parents' house to move things, and she was a little embarrassed.
Seeing her hesitation, Cui Ping simply spoke again: "Niangniang, at this time, you should go directly to the third prince, but don't forget, even if you want the stars and moon in the sky, the third prince will not hesitate to pick them for you and build a palace, it's just a problem." ”
Jing Chuchu looked at Cuiping for a long time and couldn't open her mouth, her feelings didn't cost her money, and she didn't know how distressed she was......
"Forget it, let Bengong think about it again, it's really not okay, it's not too late to go back and ask for help, but today, Bengong just wants to be alone and quiet."
Yesterday, it took a whole night to figure out her future path, and she was not ready to go on, which came another problem.
Headache, too much of a headache.
Before returning to the Wanjing Palace, the Queen Mother sent someone to send a large basin of ice cubes.
Jing Chuchu looked at those ices, and his heart was cold, today's queen mother is so excited, I'm afraid it's just to let her go home and ask for money, right?
"Alas...... That's it, you two go down, let me be quiet. ”
Jing Chuchu lay weakly at the window and looked outside, listening to the cicadas, but remembered the carefree days when he was a child.
With a bumpy fate, I knew that I would have a difficult journey along the way, but I never expected her to cross, and she was a delicate girl who was held in the palm of her hand by her family.
Sure enough, God treats her well.
Jing Chuchu looked outside and thought tactfully, how could he refuse the Queen Mother, and he didn't have to go back and ask the third brother for money?
Cui Ping suppressed the happiness in her heart and ran quickly: "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”
The person who was thinking about things suddenly paused, and he didn't turn his head around.
"What do you say? Why did the emperor come at this time? "I have a bad feeling in my heart, shouldn't the emperor come to settle accounts after the autumn at this time?
"Aifei, I came, and I didn't come out to greet you, but I didn't welcome it?"
Jing Chuchu changed his expression several times: "What did the emperor say, the concubines were flattered, the emperor only came last night, and this is here again, I'm afraid that the harem sisters should complain in their hearts." ”
Nangong Jinrun looked at the little woman in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her face: "Ai Concubine, isn't it good to pet the sixth palace?" Why are you so afraid of me? ”
Jing Chu Chu was bitter at the beginning, and she really didn't want to stand on the cusp.
She knelt on the ground and lowered her head, and her words were panicked: "Your Majesty, the concubines are panicked, the concubines just want to be by the emperor's side quietly, live a dull life, and do not have a covetous heart for the posterior, please let the emperor know." ”
He bent down to help her up: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be so flustered, if you don't want to be a queen, then don't be a queen!" I will not issue a decree to the world. ”
Jing Chuchu always felt that a trace of relief flashed on Nangong Jinrun's face, as if she refused to be the queen, but she was very happy.
It seemed to smell gossip in an instant, but now was not the time to ask.
"Your Majesty, what is the so-called matter of the concubine here today?"
"The queen mother said to me today that the imperial concubine is willing to devote her own efforts to help me build the palace, and when I heard this, I was deeply gratified and came to see the imperial concubine."
Nangong Jinrun held her hand, but Jing Chuchu was full of black lines.
The emperor and the queen mother sang and harmonized, and calculated her to death.
I'm afraid I can't push it now, right?
"Your Majesty, the concubines brought a lot of dowries into the palace, although the salary is also a drop in the bucket in the end, how about the emperor accept it all?" She never wanted to give in, and went back to ask for money, but she really couldn't open that mouth.
Nangong Jinrun looked at her with an uncertain expression, and did not speak, but drank the tea sent by Luzhu.
Raising your hands and feet is full of the spirit of a king.
Jing Chuchu swallowed her saliva, just now it was just to test the emperor's intentions, if he was willing to take all his dowry, then she didn't have to go back to ask for money.
"Imperial concubine, although you are not the queen, but you are already the same queen, and now that the palace reconstruction is imminent, is the imperial concubine willing to watch me in a dilemma?"
Nangong Jinrun played the family card, and Jing Chuchu was shocked by his words.
The emperor shouldn't be like this, he can talk to himself so tactfully, which shows that he is indeed encountering a tricky matter now.
However, she didn't like the emperor, so how could she be willing to help him?
"Your Majesty, the Jing family has always been loyal to the emperor, and so are the concubines, so they are willing to take out all the dowry to do their part."
She just didn't let go and went back to get the money, and Nangong Jinrun also looked at her and didn't speak.
Jing Chuchu felt that if he continued to confront him like this, he might suffocate to death because of the emperor's aura.
"That's it, since the imperial concubine is embarrassed, then I won't force you, and take a good rest in the hot summer." The emperor stood up and left without stopping at all.
