Chapter 13: New Officials Take Office (3)

Zhao Hongtu came over, bent down to pick up the roster and handed it to Zhong Weiwei, with a lot of disapproval in his eyes: "Xiao Zhong, why are you doing this?" ”

Zhong Wei only grabbed the roster with one hand, and served her cold steamed bun with one hand, smiling like a flower: "Lao Zhao, I think I did a good job, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en." ”

Flipping through the roster again, he squeezed his eyebrows: "I'm going to get rich." ”

Zhao Hongtu was so angry with her that he lost his temper, nodded at her, turned around and left.

Zhong Weiwei returned to the house, and the palace people who were punished by her had not left yet, waiting for her acceptance in fear.

Zhong Weiwei shook the roster in his hand to the palace people ostentatiously, and then reached out to wipe it in the crack of the door, and bared his teeth: "Do it again!" ”

The palace man kowtowed, picked up the rag and wiped it again.

Zhong Weiwei sat under the lamp and ate cold steamed buns with cold tea, and looked through the roster of the new palace concubines with one hand.

The first two names, one is Wei Rou and the other is Lu Chun, and both names have been circled by Chonghua with a red pen, proving that these two are at least one of the four concubines.

Zhong Weiwei paused slightly, bit off half of the steamed bun in one bite, chewed and chewed hard, and continued to look down at the roster.

The candidates behind are not particularly outstanding, and no one can compare with Wei Rou and Lu Chun.

This situation is all expected by Zhong Weiwei, since the founding of the State of Li, the throne has been controlled by the Wei family and the Lu family, and the mother concubine of the succeeding prince is basically from these two families.

These two families are both colluding with each other and competing with each other, strangleholding all the families that threaten their position.

Passed down to the generation of Emperor Yong, they are already deep-rooted, and it is common to control the major affairs of the court and government, and even manipulate the heir to the throne, which seriously threatens the imperial power.

That's why Emperor Yong sent Chonghua to Cangshan and studied incognito under Zhong Nanjiang for many years.

In order not to let Chonghua have too much contact with his biological mother, Empress Dowager Wei, lest he be held hostage and oppressed by the relationship between mother and son, and let Empress Dowager Wei manipulate and manipulate power.

Chonghua really had a weak relationship with Empress Dowager Wei's mother and son, but he grew up far away from the center of the court, and there were very few military generals in the family who obeyed him.

He still had to bring the daughters of the Wei and Lu families into the palace, in order to get their support, slowly gain a firm foothold, and grasp the power.

The back position is vacant, and Webster and Lu's are both determined to win.

Whoever gets pregnant first and gives birth to the eldest son has a much better chance of entering the middle palace, so they will never allow the women of other clans to win against Wei Rou and Lu Chun.

Zhong Weiwei closed the roster and stared at the jumping candle flame to think about the order of the waiter's bed.

It is really a nerve-wracking thing to satisfy Chonghua, Wei and Lu, and to appease those ordinary clans that Chonghua wants to promote and reuse. The first emperor really left a mess.

Someone knocked on the door and asked tentatively, "Has Zhong Tongshi slept?" ”

Zhong Wei's only eye swept over, and the palace people who were cleaning diligently on the side immediately ran to open the door: "Not yet, what's the matter?" ”

Several palace people crowded at the door embarrassedly: "We are here to congratulate Zhong Tongshi." ”

Zhong Wei was the only one who was happy to see it, all of them were palace people who blackmailed her money and property these days and made her angry.

put away the roster, beckoned them in, and got straight to the point: "What's the congratulatory method?" ”

The palace people flattered and said a bunch of congratulatory words, not only returned the property that had been blackmailed from her before, but also gave a lot of extra things.

There are edible foods, elaborate knick-knacks, and even silver.

Zhong Weiwei accepted all the orders, saying that he was not to blame for the past, and the palace people put their hearts back and dispersed happily.

Zhong Wei only yawned, and someone brought hot face and foot washing water to her.

She accepted it with a smile, and casually rewarded the scattered silver from the palace people's filial piety, and went to bed comfortably.

When she got up the next morning, because the person on duty was Wang Chu, she didn't go forward, but enjoyed her cold steamed bun breakfast with peace of mind.

Then I told the palace people to pack up their things, go to the Shangyi Bureau to inquire if the house was cleaned up, and prepare to move at any time.

She is not what she used to be, although she is a cold steamed bun, but someone privately honored her hot, fragrant vegetarian soup, and a number of exquisite pastries and fruits to accompany her.

Zhong Weiwei soaked the cold steamed buns in the three fresh soup and ate them to his heart's content.

I rinsed my mouth, and then I heard Li Anren say at the door with a ghostly voice: "Your Majesty asked, doesn't Zhong Tongshi need to be on duty?" It seems that the rules in this palace should be tightened. ”

Zhong Weiwei dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak: "Today is Wang Tongshi's duty." ”

Li Anren raised his small chin: "Wang Chu lost his honor in front of the emperor, and he has been dismissed and investigated, and sent back to the court." ”

Zhong Weiwei "chuckled" in his heart, hurriedly picked it up, and hurried to the front.

Chonghua still looks like a loveless student, picky with breakfast, and when he sees her go in, he throws away his toothbrush, disgusted:

"Why is it still this ugly appearance that is neither male nor female? Do you think you're still a living man from the outside court? I see you're wild! You'll have to find someone to teach you the rules! ”

Zhong Weiwei's female official costume has not yet been done, and she is still wearing the official robe of the living room, but the official hat is returned, and she only wears a man's hair bun on her head, using only a plain hosta, and does not apply fat powder.

She was born delicate and slender, and her temperament is even more peaceful and calm when she is not weird, no matter where she stands, she looks like an elegant ink painting, which has nothing to do with being neither male nor female, and ugly.

But since Chonghua wants to find faults, she has to follow him to let him dissipate his anger.

She smiled and explained, "Your Majesty scolded yes. Weichen's female official costume has not yet been done, and she can only grieve His Majesty's eyes in the past few days. ”

Chonghua glared at her viciously and grinded his teeth: "You are wronged by more than my eyes, have you received a soft hand from the cashier?" ”

It seems that the news of her selling to Wang Chu has been leaked, and Wang Chu is unproductive.

Zhong Weiwei smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, congratulations to Your Majesty, the beauties in the palace are very longing for Your Majesty." ”

Chonghua stared at her gloomily for a long time, and smiled coldly: "The treasury is empty, I am thinking about throttling and opening up, and Zhong Tongshi just reminded me." ”

Zhong Weiwei suddenly felt bad: "It's just a small fight, and that little bit of scattered silver is not enough for Your Majesty's meal." ”

Chonghua saw that she was in a hurry, and his smile became more and more obvious: "Every penny is also money, and the province has to be saved, and I will not embarrass you, in the future, you will pay three thousand taels of silver every month, and the rest will be rewarded to you." ”

This is too dark-hearted, and she is rewarded, where did she get the three thousand taels of silver?

Zhong Weiwei was taken aback, and was so frightened that he stammered: "What, how can there be this, so much, Your Majesty, don't scare Weichen, you can't make up so much money if you sell Weichen." ”

Chonghua glanced at her coldly: "Didn't you earn one hundred and twenty taels of silver from Wang Chu yesterday just in a few words?"

Thirty days in a month, a hundred taels of silver a day, and at least twenty taels of silver you can save every day, don't be dissatisfied. ”
