Chapter 957: The Empress Commands
Yan'er didn't see anything wrong with the drawings on these lamps at all, and kept asking Concubine Li to look at this and that.
Concubine Li didn't react.
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Concubine Li's face had changed, and she didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly bowed her head and closed her mouth.
Although she doesn't know why the master is unhappy, but the master is unhappy, she has to be careful.
Concubine Li said coldly: "This year's newly made palace lanterns are all these patterns, either dolls or golden boys and girls. Does the queen want to add joy to the children in her and her concubine's womb, or is she here to satirize the palace? ”
Only then did Yan'er understand what Concubine Li was angry about.
It turned out that Concubine Li was angry that the patterns on the palace lamps were eye-catching, but she didn't expect Concubine Li to think of this.
How cute these dolls are, the master is too good at cranky.
Yan'er didn't dare to say it, but said: "Don't be angry, presumably the queen didn't mean it." In fact, this year's new palace lamps and old lamps are mixed and hung, and there are more new lamps elsewhere, but we have fewer here. ”
There are still many old lamps outside the Changchun Palace, and the patterns on the old lamps are decent, nothing more than Fulu Suxi and the like.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li didn't become as happy as she imagined when she heard this, but was even more displeased, "You mean, there are more new lights hanging elsewhere, only we have more old lights in Changchun Palace?" Are the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs blatantly ignoring me? ”
Yan'er: "......"
She didn't seem to be right to say anything, Concubine Li wasn't happy to listen to it, so she had better keep her mouth shut.
Concubine Li was annoyed for a while, and when she looked back, she saw that Yan'er looked like a frosted eggplant, so she only said lightly, "Let's go, go to the Internal Affairs Mansion with the palace." ”
"Ah......h
Yan'er was a little nervous, "Niangniang is going to ask the people of the Internal Affairs Office about the guilt?" Actually, this lamp is less new than the old one, and it's not much ......."
Concubine Li glanced at her impatiently, "Haven't you taken the quota for the next year yet?" This palace has nothing to do, so I'll go with you, what kind of teacher asks for sin? ”
Yan'er was relieved.
She looked at Concubine Li's unhappy expression, and thought that she was going to the Internal Affairs Office to find trouble, which would be bad.
……
The share of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been received by the big palace maids of each palace.
Changchun Palace was supposed to be picked up by Yan'er, but when she saw Concubine Li coming over today, everyone in the Internal Affairs Office was surprised and did not dare to slack off.
"Hey, Concubine Li, why are you here in person?"
The steward hurriedly brought out a chair and invited her to sit, although Concubine Li fell out of favor, in the end, she was a concubine, and these courtesies still had to be done.
Concubine Li looked around, and after a while, she came over and sat down, and slowly accosted, "The palace is just idle, I heard Yan'er say that she was going to come to the Internal Affairs Mansion to get a share, thinking that she hadn't carefully read the environment of the Internal Affairs Mansion, so she followed along." ”
"That's the case, Concubine Li can come in person, it's really brilliant!"
As the steward spoke, he ordered someone to fetch a copy for Yan'er, and soon the things came, and the little eunuch sang the account book while putting the same thing out.
Yan'er was staring there, Concubine Li seemed to be drinking tea leisurely, but in fact, her attention was always here.
After all the items were sung, Yan'er nodded, "No problem." ”
The little eunuch gave her the account book and Zhu Ni, "Since there is no problem, please Miss Yan'er press a fingerprint here, and you will know that this errand is over." ”
Yan'er pressed Zhu Ni with her thumb, and was about to press down on the account book, when she suddenly heard Concubine Li say, "Slow." ”
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her, and Yan'er also stopped her hand and didn't press down.
Concubine Li slowly stood up from her seat, "Father-in-law, Yan'er is a newly promoted person from this palace, she used to do rough work, and she didn't understand the rules of the Internal Affairs Bureau. Don't bully her for being young, in the case of Changchun Palace. ”
The father-in-law in charge was shocked when he heard this, "Niangniang said and laughed, how dare we?" Slow to say that the mother is a concubine, we can't afford to be guilty, just say that now the harem is governed by the queen's mother, and the account of the internal affairs office is a lump sum, how can anyone dare to deduct it? ”
Even if they dare to offend Concubine Li, they don't dare to offend Queen Zhou.
Dan'er beside Queen Zhou has long been instructed that the Internal Affairs Office is not allowed to worship the high and step on the low, if the queen knows that the share of the disgraced concubine has been deducted, or the favored concubine has received too many exceptional things, she will deal with it according to the law.
In fact, the Internal Affairs Office knew in her heart that the queen didn't like Concubine Li on the surface, but she actually took care of Concubine Li.
Isn't this order just for Concubine Li, and which concubine in the harem is out of favor?
It's just that there is no need to say these words in front of Concubine Li, so she won't have to worry too much.
Concubine Li listened to the steward's words, and just now she glanced at it a few times, her share of things was roughly the same as the account book, and the one who wanted to be in charge did not lie.
She raised her chin slightly, "That's good, in the future, the palace will be able to let Yan'er come and go to the Internal Affairs Mansion with peace of mind." If there is anything wrong, the palace will have to come to the Internal Affairs Office in person to settle the score. ”
"The slave doesn't dare, don't worry."
The steward hurriedly bowed down, Concubine Li gave Yan'er a look, and Yan'er pressed her red finger down, and immediately left a duck egg-shaped trace on the account book.
Concubine Li left with Yan'er satisfied.
Thinking that after knocking on the people of the Internal Affairs Office today, they will not dare to casually detain the things of the Changchun Palace in the future, or indiscriminately charge the Changchun Palace like the palace lamp.
After Concubine Li left, the steward stood at the door and sighed indignantly in his heart.
The little eunuch walked over incomprehensibly, "Father-in-law, why are you so polite to Concubine Li?" We didn't feel sorry for her, and the quota was also given on time and in quantity, so why bother with a weak heart? ”
If it were someone else, Concubine Li, a concubine who had fallen out of favor, would dare to come to the Internal Affairs Office to put on such a big face?
"Phew!"
The father-in-law of the steward finally spit out the voice in his heart, he was afraid that others would accuse him of being angry with his master, so this mouth was on the little eunuch.
He was also very angry, "That's it, we do things according to the rules, she suspects us, why are we so angry?" Even in front of the queen, the queen is polite to us! ”
The more the father-in-law in charge thought about it, the more angry he became.
The little eunuch said: "If it weren't for the queen's mother's order not to deduct the use of the favored concubines, we wouldn't have to suffer from this bird's anger." In the past, when Concubine Li was still Concubine Li Xian, everyone said that she was virtuous and virtuous, and she was not under the queen. Now that the time has passed, I know who is Li Kui and who is Li Ghost. ”
"This is what the queen mother specially ordered."
The housekeeper's father-in-law stared at the door hatefully, "Otherwise, I don't want to deduct and deduct, so that she knows that our eunuchs are not easy to bully, and they can't just come to warn her!" ”
