Several large boxes were carried by the people of the Shang Palace Bureau and retreated from the scarlet building. According to Concubine Jing's will, the consumption of the Scarlet Smoke Building was cut by half, and the rest of the palaces were reduced by one-third, except for the three palaces of Changle Palace, Jianzhang Palace, and Changxin Palace, as well as the palace where the prince and the emperor lived. Her own Hehuan Hall was also cut in half to set an example.

One-third is not a decimal number, especially since many concubines are not favored on weekdays, and there are not many examples. Everyone was miserable, but they did not dare to complain.

In such a flying disaster, the concubines were in distress, and even the five princes who were first accepted into the palace to raise them were no longer a topic of conversation.

The emperor was bored with state affairs, so he naturally ignored the harem. After the decree to fight with the Xiongnu was issued, the vanguard generals of Beisai had already led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight the enemy first. However, a few days later, the report of the battle returned to the capital, and Tuoba Hong found that the situation was going in the worst direction - after the Qin army sent troops to conquer, the Xiongnu, who had surrendered ten years earlier, refused to back down.

The Huns' hard-line attitude made him understand that a long-standing campaign had been triggered. Is the other party's ambition more than food in winter? I'm afraid it's the entire land of Great Qin.

In order to fight against the Xiongnu, the emperor passed down the holy decree again three days later, ordering the general Shangguan who was guarding the northwest to lead a serious illness to face the battle, and discussed politics with his courtiers all day, refusing to set foot in the harem for many days.

However, a few days later, there was news that An Lingji was favored.

Another day later, An Lingji was promoted to Shunyi, and she was favored.

Among the concubines, there are those who are not used to it, so they went to the Hehuan Hall to complain to Concubine Jing: "The newly sealed An Shunyi and the emperor sang songs day and night, and yesterday they actually held a banquet again, not to mention that she is charming, our sisters are thrifty, and the days are tight, she actually feasts with the emperor every day, and I don't know how much silver it will cost." ”

At that time, Lin Yuan was also on the side, holding a fan to cover his lips and said with a light smile: "The emperor has not invited a servant to sleep for so many days, and finally an family likes him, and he can serve the emperor well, what's wrong!" The emperor was depressed, and he needed a lovely person to be the interpreter, but An's just slept for two days in a row, and Fang Ronghua was too fussful. ”

"This An family is shallow by nature, and he doesn't know the etiquette, where is the concubine Niangniang who can not only appease the emperor, but also take care of the overall situation!" Fang Ronghua, who spoke, did not back down, got up and begged Concubine Jing: "Concubine Jing is in charge of the six palaces, and the An family does not follow Niangniang's will and lives in obscenity, so Niangniang might as well use her to establish authority." ”

If it is in normal times, it is just a common thing for a new favorite to take the position, where will it attract everyone's anger. It's just that everyone is having a hard time these days, and an An suddenly became favored, and he held a night banquet, which naturally provoked everyone's anger. Concubine Jing smiled lightly, and Liu Jieyu frowned on the side and said, "Speaking of luxury, An's is not too much. In order to compete with An Shunyi, Na Li Fangyi actually summoned 120 dancers from Liyuan to dance together on the platform. With such a big show, the cost is much higher than a night banquet......"

Before he finished speaking, the curtain at the door of the temple moved slightly, and an inner supervisor hurriedly came in and said, "The Holy Lord has arrived." Behind him, Tuoba Hongren had already arrived: "The Hehuan Hall is really lively. What are you talking about? ”

Concubine Jing and Lin Yuan hurriedly got up to greet them. Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Why is the emperor free?" It's Fang Ronghua and them, gossiping with their concubines. ”

Tuoba Hong's complexion is not good, I think it is because he has not slept peacefully in the past few days. He waved his hand to order the concubines to sit down, walked straight to Lin Yuan, and said with concern: "I haven't set foot in the harem for a long time, and I came to visit you today, but I didn't expect you to come to this Hehuan Hall again when you were in the Hehuan Palace." How are you doing these days? Did the Six Princes trouble you? ”

"Our emperor is very well-behaved, the emperor is busy, and everything is fine here for the concubines, so why worry." Lin Yuan got up and made tea for Tuoba Hong with his own hands, and a light smile rose on the corner of his lips: "The concubine and the others are just discussing with Concubine Jing about reducing the amount. ”

Tuoba Hong sighed, nodded and said: "The Huns suddenly attacked, the front line was tight, and Concubine Jing did a good job." He looked at Lin Yuan again and said, "I just heard that you took the lead in cutting half of the usage?" Yuan'er, it's good to be thrifty, but you can't be too aggrieved. ”

"How can a concubine be wronged!" Lin Yuan hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor rewards his concubines every day, even if there is no monthly rule, can't the days of the Scarlet Mansion go on!" The concubines also wanted to persuade the emperor not to give such a big reward, and those priceless jade treasures might as well be donated to the treasury as military salaries. ”

Speaking of which, Tuoba Hong treats her really considerately and does not have to choose, if she ignores the concubines who share her favor, she wants to award him a trophy of "five good husbands". Even during this period, the He family and the An family were favored and entitled, and it was because she was not suitable to sleep after giving birth to the sixth prince, so she took advantage of the loophole and got cheap.

You can't go out of the house within one month after giving birth, and you can't have sex within two months, otherwise you will fall ill. Even if Tuoba Hong had the intention to pamper him, Lin Yuan didn't dare to abuse his body.

Tuoba Hong smiled and nodded the tip of her nose, shook her head and said, "Okay, it's up to you." He said to Concubine Jing again: "It's just the Scarlet Smoke Building, with me and the Queen Mother taking care of it, it doesn't hurt to cut it in half." But Anshunyi is there...... It's better to change from a third to a quarter and don't make her too sad. ”

An's has been in the palace for half a year, and during this period, the He family and the Zhao family have been favored one after another, but she has been unknown. Tuoba Hong had never paid attention to her before, but that day when he was watching the excerpts in the Jianzhang Palace, he was upset and couldn't eat lunch, and An dressed up as a maid in front of the palace to prepare food for him......

An's is not a stunning person, and his charming style is far from being good, but his hands are even fairer and more delicate than the white porcelain jade bowl he is holding. Tuoba Hong's mind is full of jade hands, beautiful, so beautiful.

Although these days are busy, I can't help but pass on the An's bedtime after being tired. And this An family is also different from the brutal He family, she is courteous and thoughtful, and she is attentive and thoughtful, which satisfies Tuoba Hongda in a few days.

Concubine Jing heard the emperor say this, and her heart chuckled, but she didn't expect that this new favorite An really had some skills, which made the emperor so attentive. And this An's is quite friendly with Hui Guifei......

Concubine Jing had countless thoughts in her heart, but she held them all back. She has always been tactful, and she thought about the emperor's thoughts and said: "The emperor feels sorry for Sister An, and the concubines congratulate the emperor on getting a beautiful woman again." This Sister An has a thin body and very white skin, and the concubine thinks that she is a weak person, so she simply does not cut her share. ”

"Yes, that's very good." Tuoba Hong nodded, and remembered An's snow-white face like jade, and his heart was soft.

But compared to Yuan'er, it's still too far behind...... Tuoba Hong couldn't help but turn to Lin Yuan, well, his favorite fairy daughter, delicate, beautiful and intelligent, but unfortunately she can't enjoy it until she is well-raised......

The emperor rewarded An's family, Concubine Jing climbed up the pole, and Fang Ronghua who was present was uncomfortable. What do you say about Ann's weakness? Which of the concubines in this palace is not kind-faced and cold-hearted, pitiful in front of the emperor, and bloody battles behind their backs, how can a really weak person live for a long time?

Fang Ronghua is not favored every day, and the minions of the Shanggong Bureau will not deliberately flatter, this is reduced, and the days are not a little sad. She was also bold, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, so she knelt down and said to the emperor: "The emperor is Mingjian, the palace is thrifty now, but An Shunyi and Li Fangyi are as extravagant as ever......"

Tuoba Hongzheng took pity on An's family, and his face turned cold when he heard her say this. Concubine Jing was happy to see these low-level concubines fighting to the death, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty, don't blame Fang Ronghua for being fast-mouthed. The concubines in this harem are used to being pampered and pampered, and they can't adapt to it when they are thrifty. Sister An and Sister He have spent a lot of money in the past few days, and Fang Ronghua has to abide by the rules to reduce the amount of money, so he is naturally dissatisfied. ”

The implication is that whether it is Fang Ronghua who is kneeling, An Shunyi who holds a night banquet to coax the emperor to laugh, and Li Fangyi who sings and dances in order to compete for favor, they are all arrogant women who are used to being noble and sit in the high hall regardless of the hardships of the border pass.

And if there is any concubine who is not long-sighted and dares to disobey her will to reduce her consumption, she will only care about her own enjoyment, arrogant and immoral!

"The Shunyi Night Banquet is to relieve my worries, and it is not too much." Tuoba Hong frowned and explained, and said to Fang Ronghua: "You stand down!" What Concubine Jing said is good, isn't it because you cut the use and are resentful, so you have jealousy and hatred for An's family! ”

"The emperor forgives ......" Fang Ronghua had already regretted it at this time, the emperor's words were ruthless, she couldn't help but break down in a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up and retreated.

The new favorite An Shunyi was not present, but she disturbed the peace of the Hehuan Palace, which was really interesting. Lin Yuan looked at it coldly, and then looked at Concubine Jing's smug face, and the corners of her lips slowly hooked a sneer.

Wei Mizhuang...... The new official has taken office three times, and it is not the first time she has been in power, but this time she has done better than the last time! took the lead in reducing the use of the harem and raising military salaries for the front-line soldiers, although Concubine Jing's move was not necessarily clever, but it was deeply appreciated by Tuoba Hong.

The only drawback is that it offends people. However, Concubine Jing is obviously far-sighted and understands the overall situation, what can those concubines do if they are dissatisfied? She took advantage of the situation to bring out the emperor to stand up and see which one dared to disobey.

"Your Majesty, don't blame Fang Ronghua." Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Concubine Jing Niangniang contributed to the border soldiers, understood the righteousness, and can be called an exemplary concubine. Fang Ronghua lost his words in front of him, but it was also understandable. Your Majesty, think about it, each palace has cut off one-third of its use, those favored concubines are still better, and the rest, Suri's share is often deducted by the Shang Palace Bureau, this cut, life must be very sad......"

Tuoba Hong frowned: "The Shang Palace Bureau still dares to deduct the master's share!" As soon as the words came out, he fell silent, and then he remembered that this harem of Great Qin was not a fair world.
