Chapter 123: Giving Silver
"The queen doesn't have the support of her mother's family, I'm afraid I don't know it yet, right?" Xuanyuan Meng glanced at Fei Jiqing meaningfully, and then put his eyes on Fei Ranchu's face.
"What support?"
Fei Ranchu was already vaguely aware of what Xuanyuan Meng was going to say, but she still wanted to say all these words through her mouth, and she didn't have to say it herself, and Fei Jiqing refuted it again.
"Let's just take the concubine as an example, the concubine's maiden family is the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion will send someone to send more than 1,000 taels of silver as pocket money every month, so it is okay for the concubine to donate all the silver in the palace every month. The same applies to the chaise. ”
As soon as Xuanyuan Meng's words fell, Fei Jiqing shouted at her impatiently.
"What do you mean by that?"
In the face of Fei Jiqing's anger, Xuanyuan Meng did not panic at all, but chuckled and said something to her inexplicably.
"What does the concubine think this palace means?"
"Don't you just think that your sister can't even give out more than a hundred taels of silver, and you think your sister is stingy? In that case! ”
Fei Jiqing turned to look at Fei Ranchu, deliberately raised his voice, and pretended not to care: "Then you might as well take all the money of the concubine to charge the treasury, anyway, the concubine has silver, and it is not even close." ”
After saying that, Fei Jiqing walked out angrily, without even waiting for an order from Fei Ranchu.
Looking at her back as she left angrily, Fei Ranchu glanced at Xuanyuan Meng with some amusement, and Xuanyuan Meng only smiled faintly, bowed and walked out.
At this point, Fei Ranchu couldn't keep them here anymore, so he let them go.
After everyone left, the arrogant smile on Fei Ranchu's face collapsed in an instant.
She sat down on her phoenix chair with a tired and impatient expression.
"It's really tiring to be a queen who has to use such a face to those concubines every day."
Xicui knows Fei Ranchu's temperament, and knows that she is naturally cheerful, but she still has to pretend to be deep and stern every day, which is really embarrassing for her.
She walked behind Fei Ranchu, rubbed her shoulders, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Today, you and the imperial concubine have participated in the concubine."
"It's because she has to slap her swollen face and become fat, obviously the palace said that it only needs to be one percent, but she was stimulated by the imperial concubine, but she wanted to hand over all the silver."
Xuanyuan Meng, a person who has no quarrel with the world, is definitely not at the same level as non-passion, she relies on the 1,000 taels of silver sent by her mother, I am afraid that she can even get by for a year, but for a person like Fei Jiqing, who spends money like water, I am afraid that it will be difficult to last for a month.
But since Fei Jiqing wants to slap his swollen face and fill this fat man, then Fei Jiqing naturally will not refuse, presumably Zhao Yufeng will not refuse his treasury, and he will have more than a thousand taels of silver every month.
"That's right." As if she had suddenly remembered something, Fei Ran Chu turned her head and asked Dark Moon, "Let you send that little guard back, did you find anything in the end?"
Dark Moon walked in front of Fei Ranchu, bowed her head and said, "Niangniang's guess is indeed right, he has been bullied often in the barracks, his body is full of injuries, and his clothes have been torn by those guards in the process of beating and pulling. ”
Fei Ranchu was silent for a moment after listening to Dark Moon's words.
Taking Xicui's hand off his shoulder, Fei Ranchu walked to the window, leaned against the windowsill, and exhaled a turbid breath.
"Does he have someone close to him in the palace, or is he doing something for some master in the palace?"
"His relatives and subordinates have also checked, and he has nothing to do with any lady in the palace, but he is a brother and sister with a palace maid in the palace, and the two of them will occasionally meet in person once a month."
"What's the palace maid's name?"
"It's called Xin'er, and now she is a sprinkler in front of the imperial study."
"Well, let's look at the two of them more, sometimes what appears on the surface may not be as simple as what we investigated."
"Yes, sissy."
Darkmoon bowed her head in agreement, and then turned and went out.
In fact, Xicui didn't particularly understand Fei Ranchu's cautious intuition, but experience told her that her mother's intuition was amazing every time, so this time, she already had a vague expectation.
A few days have passed peacefully, and today is the day when the Ministry of Internal Affairs distributes the silver.
Fei Ranchu also went to the Internal Affairs Office to watch, and asked the frightened people of the Internal Affairs Office to draw out 10% of the silver from each palace, write their names, and prepare to send them to the treasury together.
After a while, a figure came from outside the door, and Fei Ranchu looked over from a distance, as if it was Xiaoying beside Xuanyuan Meng.
Immediately after that, a person came behind Xiaoying, who was Green Shadow.
Seeing Xiaoying walking in front of her, Green Shadow ran two steps directly, leaving the person behind her, and after she entered the Internal Affairs Mansion one step ahead, she directly slapped the desk of the head of the Internal Affairs Office.
"My mother-in-law said that all the money for this month will be handed over to the treasury."
After finishing speaking, Green Shadow pretended to have just seen Fei Ranchu's appearance, and hurriedly saluted.
"Yikes! It turns out that you are also here, but the slave didn't see it, and it was rude. ”
Before Fei Ran could say anything, Xicui rushed ahead of her and said.
"Huh! I know, I thought you were going to give orders for your mother, but I didn't know that I thought I was here to show off. ”
Green Shadow's psychological quality can be regarded as passable, relying on the master behind him, he didn't pay attention to Xi Cui's words, but said directly to Fei Ranchu.
"Isn't this a show-off, isn't it the emptiness of the treasury that the queen mother said? My mother-in-law wants to hand over all the money every month, which is also for Your Majesty, do you say yes? ”
Faced with the questioning of a servant of the green shadow, Fei Ranchu did not show annoyance and anger, but smiled and said to her:
"Don't put such a hat on the head of this palace, when did this palace say that the treasury was empty? The palace just said that Xiguan was dry and the Yellow River was flooded, have you heard the palace say that the treasury is empty? ”
"Isn't it the nervousness that the mother said?" Green Shadow replied quickly, and his tone was a little arrogant.
And she seems to have forgotten now, there is no one behind her now, only her as a minion.
"If you think about what Bengu said, has Bengu ever said it?"
Fei Ranchu deliberately narrowed her eyes, pretending to be a threat.
And so far, the green shadow has also reflected.
The one standing in front of her is the queen's mother, no matter how much she wants to avenge her mother, she can't forget her identity!
Thinking of this, she hurriedly knelt down in panic.
"The queen mother forgives her sins, and the slave and maid have lost her words."
Unexpectedly, there was a disdainful snort behind him.
