Chapter 574: Wearing Old Clothes

The queen went inside, and a little girl came out.

"You'd better go back, the queen won't see you, and she won't agree to make new clothes. If you do it again, it will only delay more time, so you might as well think of other ways. ”

The little palace maid smiled slightly, but gave An Lan an idea. An Lan knew that this was what the queen asked her to say.

"In that case, I'll go back first. Please also tell the queen that since she doesn't make clothes for Princess Min, I can only make another plan. An Lan's words carried some angry meanings.

But she knew that the other party was the queen, so naturally she wouldn't take her words to heart.

Seeing that it was fruitless, An Lan could only leave in disgrace, but she couldn't go back like this to recover her life.

Suddenly thought of the emperor. Since the little palace maid just now pointed out a clear path for herself, she could naturally go to the emperor. If you tell the emperor that the emperor will come forward, everyone will not have any opinions, and it is just a new dress.

An Lan came to the emperor's imperial study and found that the emperor was there to review the recitals. Standing on the side and waiting for a while, the emperor finished the review and asked An Lan to give him a seat.

An Lan did not sit down, but bowed slightly to the emperor, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the emperor.

"No need to be polite." The emperor's face was full of love.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time to ask the emperor for help." An Lan's eyebrows were filled with joy.

"What the hell do you need my help with? But it doesn't hurt to say that. The emperor made a gesture to An Lan, he has always loved An Lan.

"Presumably the emperor also knows that tonight is the annual flower viewing festival held in the palace. All the princesses will be dressed up, which also shows the peaceful beauty of our country's prosperity......"

An Lan knew very well what the emperor liked to hear, and said a lot of things that the emperor liked to hear.

The emperor laughed happily.

"To put it mildly, the cherry blossom viewing festival is indeed a grand event in the palace." When the emperor said this, his eyes stared at An Lan.

He didn't go on, but with some deep meaning.

He is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands that An Lan must have something else to mean when he comes here, and he will not just tell himself what about the flower viewing conference.

Seeing that the emperor had already guessed his intentions, An Lan couldn't hide anything.

"Your Majesty, the real purpose of my coming here this time is to ask the emperor to make a new dress for Princess Min. The princess didn't have a decent dress, so wouldn't it be a joke to participate in the flower feast like this. It is small for her to lose face alone, if people are involved in the emperor's head, it will be more than worth the loss, and some people will say that the emperor has wronged his daughter! People with ulterior motives can even involve the emptiness of the treasury, which will cause turmoil in the country. ”

An Lan deeply knew that just a princess's new clothes would not be taken to heart by the emperor. But if it rises to the level of national dignity, then the emperor has to pay attention to it

As An Lan guessed, hearing her say such a big truth, the emperor frowned, and immediately showed full of majesty.

"What you're saying is that if this happens, the consequences will be severe. It's just that I remember making new clothes every year, how could I not have them? ”

The emperor is the one who makes the rules of the harem, and he remembers this rule clearly.

Because before, he did not allow all the concubines, princesses and others to make new clothes wantonly, extravagantly and wastefully, and only allowed them to make a few new clothes every year.

Later, a rule was also formed that clothes for the four seasons would only be made at the corresponding time, and no money from the country should be spent on new clothes on the way.

An Lan was a little embarrassed, and she was not embarrassed to say some things directly.

"The emperor might as well go to the princess's palace with me, and when you get there, the emperor will know the truth of the matter at a glance." An Lan smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation to the emperor.

The emperor did not refuse, he hadn't seen Princess Min for so long, it was time to visit her.

The emperor came to Princess Min's palace with An Lan, and found that a lot of clothes were thrown on the ground, some of which had been cut into pieces, and these styles and fabrics did not seem to be the ones they are today.

"What are you doing here? Why did you cut all these clothes into pieces and step on them like this? The emperor questioned Chu Qiaomin with a dark face.

Seeing the emperor coming, Chu Qiaomin immediately knelt on the ground. After the previous few things, she and the emperor can no longer be as close as before.

"Father, the son knows that he shouldn't be like this. But these clothes were all worn by Erchen when he was a child, and many of them did not fit. You also know that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the sons have few clothes in the past two years, and many of them are given by others! Chu Qiaomin made his grievances clear.

The emperor's face was ugly, and he didn't expect Chu Qiaomin to say that he hadn't made clothes in the past two years. As far as he knew, each princess had to have thirty sets of clothes for the four seasons of the year.

"What you say is ridiculous, I can't believe it!" The emperor had a dark face, turned around and walked inside, this was where Chu Qiaomin collected his clothes.

Their princesses' clothes are taken care of by special palace maids. After entering, the palace maid immediately knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor.

There are a lot of clothes here, and sure enough, as Chu Qiaomin said, many of them are clothes from childhood, and some are either from a few years ago.

Chu Qiaomin was obese a few years ago, and these clothes naturally didn't fit.

The emperor came to a cabinet next to it, where all the latest clothes were placed. When I opened it, I found that there were very few clothes, only ten simple pieces.

"How can there be only ten? I know very well that every year you princesses have thirty sets of clothes, and even if you make them this year alone, you shouldn't be the only ten pieces! The emperor stared, unable to believe that all this was true.

"The father is like this, and the queen mother said that the son made a mistake and did not make new clothes. Last year, I didn't make new clothes because I accidentally broke her beloved vase. This year also went wrong, I was fined not to make new clothes, these ten clothes were either given by others, or I spent my own money to make them, and they were not uniformly made in the palace. ”

Chu Qiaomin told the emperor about what happened to him. After listening to her words, the emperor's face was completely darkened to the extreme.

"It's ridiculous, how can my daughter worry about clothes? Come with me, and I'll ask the queen in person. ”

All the emperor's anger rushed up, and he didn't want to be polite to the queen at all, so he led a group of people to set off towards the queen's bedroom.

Because of the huge momentum, it was quickly known by others. Almost all the palaces were spread, and the emperor rushed towards the queen's palace, including Chu Qiaosi and Chu Qiaomeng.

The two of them were playing chess in the palace, and suddenly saw the little palace maid running in a panic.

"What happened? Why are you so flustered? Chu Qiaomeng put down the chess pieces in her hand and stared at the little palace maid with a happy face, she had always been gentle to the palace maid under her hand.
