Chapter 17: She Lies Down and Wins Again
Seeing him like that, even if he didn't say anything, you knew he was angry.
Lu Zhu stepped forward and gently pulled her sleeve: "Niangniang, the emperor really seems to be angry now, what should we do next?" Are you really not going home? ”
Jing Chuchu also sat on the soft couch angrily, his cheeks bulging: "Everyone knows why this palace entered the palace, and it is just a matter of taking me as a hostage, and now they are still worried about my family's property, is it really easy for our Jing family to bully?" ”
"But ......"
"No, although my brother has money, it is also his hard-earned earnings, why did he give it to me for nothing?" Jing Chuchu felt that building the palace required more than a small amount of money, and she had no face to speak to the third brother.
"Dad and eldest brother and second brother should also come, and it is even more difficult to meet them now, and I can't discuss with them first, so this palace will not come nonsense."
She is so funny, there are countless concubines in the emperor's three palaces and six courts, so many people go home to ask for some money, and they can make up a lot together, why do you want to keep an eye on their Jing family?
Lu Zhu patted her on the back gently: "Niangniang is angry, and the slave is considerate of Niangniang to protect the Jing family's thoughts, but what can I do in the future with the emperor like this?" The Queen Mother is also pressuring, if we don't do it......"
It is precisely because of this that she is annoyed, only to feel more irritable at this time.
"Luzhu, you and Cuiping go outside to guard first, by the way, when you have nothing to do, go out to inquire about the emperor's past, if the palace wants to please the emperor, you must do what he likes."
She is now eager to understand the emperor's past, and it is best to pinch some handles, so that he will always throw himself face.
Two girls, I don't know what the imperial concubine is going to do now? Since it has been commanded, it can only be commanded.
"Lu Zhu, do you feel that the imperial concubine seems to have changed after entering the palace, sometimes she is calm and wise, and sometimes she is even a little stupider than before?" Cuiping is now very incomprehensible to the imperial concubine.
Lu Zhu pinched her arm: "Don't say such things in the future, the imperial concubine is also bitter in her heart, as soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, Niangniang just wants to protect the glory of the Jing family by herself, of course there will be changes, it is because of these changes that the Jing family has a future." ”
She couldn't help but give Cui Ping a big white eye, this guy now looks like the former imperial concubine, a little lacking in heart.
Although Cuiping was aggrieved, she didn't say anything, just rubbed the pinched place: "Luzhu, it hurts me so much if you pinch it." ”
"It's right if it hurts, and it will be remembered for a long time."
Jing Chuchu hid behind the door, she heard the conversation in the wish clearly, so she was finally relieved, the two little maids had still been bought by her? I also believe what she said yesterday.
Since the emperor didn't get a response from her, she hasn't been here for a few days, and Jing Chuchu is finally happy.
She sat in a rocking chair and quietly listened to the report of the maid next to her.
"Niangniang, the slave maid heard that Lan Jieyu had prepared 5,000 taels of silver from home and handed it over to the emperor, Concubine Xian raised 20,000 taels of silver from home to enter the palace, and Concubine Shu raised 50,000 taels of silver, and everyone almost worked hard to please the emperor."
Someone who was eating melon seeds didn't take the news to heart at all.
"Of course, now at this critical juncture, of course, whoever gets more silver will be treated by the emperor, but the palace has already given all the dowry to the emperor, how to say that there are 100,000 taels of silver, which is more than what their concubines take, and they don't have to go back to the Jing family to ask for money."
"But mother, if you continue like this, you're going to fall out of favor!" Cui Ping was anxious for her, and she didn't care about such an important thing at all.
Lu Zhu just stood aside and didn't speak, she couldn't figure out the thoughts of the imperial concubine, but she knew that the imperial concubine would not turn her back on the general's mansion.
"Okay, regardless of the ups and downs outside, let's live happily by ourselves, since they want to please the emperor, let them go, as long as the palace can live a plain life."
At this time, the little eunuch guarding the door came to report.
"Back to the imperial concubine, Zuo Yushi sent someone to send a letter."
Jing Chuchu immediately stood up: "Hurry up and bring the letter." ”
Why did her second brother write to her in a good manner?
Unfolding the letter, Jing Chuchu almost cried.
"This palace worked hard and was not afraid of offending the queen mother and the emperor, and finally took himself out of the fundraising thing, he ...... They were in a hurry to deliver money? ”
I'm really angry with her.
Seeing that the imperial concubine was so angry that tears came out, Luzhu hurriedly stepped forward to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Mother, what happened? Can it be so sad? ”
Fold the letter and put it back in his sleeve and let out a long sigh.
"The palace lost a large amount of dowry, and the third brother paid money to the second brother to give it to the emperor to help build the palace, and said that the palace wrote a letter back to the family to raise money, and all the credit was deducted from the palace."
Did she lie down and win again?
"Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, then the emperor will never be angry with Niangniang again, maybe he will come to visit Niangniang again soon." The faces of the two were full of joy, although the imperial concubine did not compete for favor, as personal slaves, they were anxious for their masters.
Jing Chuchu's face was going to be green, and the family didn't discuss things with her in advance, so they sent the money for no reason, so if the emperor was also short of money, would he have to ask them for it?
She really couldn't figure it out, and she was angry.
"Niangniang, Bai Yong next to the emperor is here, see it or not?" Cui Ping didn't know why her mother was angry, and she was careful when she spoke.
"No, this palace has nothing to say to the emperor." Throwing off her wide sleeves, she is angry, how can she have the heart to deal with the emperor?
"Wait, let him in." Jing Chuchu packed up his emotions and put on a solemn look.
"See Huang Guifei, the imperial concubine Wanfu Jin'an." Bai Yi knelt on the ground and saluted.
"The white guards are exempt, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't have time to talk to the palace when he wants to, I don't know what the white guards are here this time?"
Now she is not only angry with her brothers, but even more angry with the emperor, and even more so angry that she is calculating their family property, which is really hateful!
"Back to the imperial concubine, the emperor said that General Jing was loyal, and sent Zuo Yushi to send enough silver money to build the palace, and the imperial concubine's dowry naturally did not need to be added to it, so he sent Weichen back."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw someone carrying a box from the outside, and in a short time it filled the yard.
Jing Chuchu looked at the dowries a little dumbfounded, only knowing that when she left the mansion, Mrs. Jing whispered in her ear, saying that the dowry was worth a total of 100,000 taels of silver, why didn't she expect that there would be so much?
"Ahem...... Isn't the dowry of the main palace kept by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why did you send it all to the courtyard of the main palace? ”
She did take the waist card of the dowry and gave it to the green bead and asked her to send it to the emperor.
Bai Yong respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to Niangniang's words, the emperor said that Niangniang is virtuous and wise, and she will definitely make good use of these dowries, and there is no need for the Internal Affairs Office to take care of them." ”
