Chapter 20: Tribute (1)

The drunken glory and the lonely night in the Great Qin court are still the same as before. No one paid attention to the king from a foreign country who had nothing to do with him, and Tuoba Hiroshi was busy summoning envoys and accepting the worship of small countries, and the former court was proud. The concubines were still jealous of Concubine Jing's favor during this time, and three or five people gathered in Shanglin Yuan to cook wine and gossip.

Lin Yuan slept in the Yuzhao Palace for an afternoon, and Fan Yu accompanied him, embroidering the dowry on the wall, and there was nothing to do.

It's as if time has been so calm throughout.

A few days later, when Concubine Chen entered the palace again, Fan Yu went to meet her, and when she came back, she really talked to Lin Yuan about the Mongolian king. Her eyebrows were full of playful laughter, and she lowered her voice to share a funny secret: "This thing is really bad to say!" Niangniang didn't see it, the lord of Goryeo pretended to be a maid and was taken into the car by the king of Mongolia, and now the envoys of Goryeo have lost the lord of Weng, and they are in a hurry in the court, begging the emperor to find someone for them...... Aha! I heard that the place in Goryeo also has strict rules, why is their lord like that! ”

Lin Yuan was silent. After a while, he said: "Princess Chen has long known that the lord of Goryeo admires the Mongolian king, so she helped her and sent her to the Mongolian king's sedan chair?" Yuan Lie is extremely shrewd, and he really thinks that the woman who was sent is me? ”

"Isn't that easy to do?" Fan Yu was still smiling, and her face showed the cheerfulness that an eleven-year-old girl should have: "This is the capital of Qin, and the emperor personally came to send it when the Mongolian king set off, and later his father returned to the palace to summon envoys from other countries, but the left and right prime ministers still stood in front of the Xuanwu Gate to show respect." He thought that he had snatched the emperor's favorite concubine under the noses of so many Qin people? Can he not be nervous? In this panic, I saw a masked woman being sent up inexplicably, with a sapphire hairpin on her bun...... On the spot, he ordered to leave the capital immediately, for fear of being tracked down by the emperor! ”

"Then sooner or later, Yuan Yeol will find out that he recognized the wrong person." Lin Yuan looked at Fan Yu laughing, and she couldn't help but laugh. She had a feeling of relief - she was humiliated by that man in every way, and almost lost her life because of him, and this time she was finally able to take revenge! He's in a hurry, and if he realizes he's mistaken, his expression will be wonderful, right? And at that time, he was afraid that he was more than 100 miles away from Beijing, and Tuoba Hong sent him away like a plague god, and it was not easy for him to come back.

"What if you admit your mistake!" Fan Yu pursed his lips, and the disdain in his eyes flashed: "That's the daughter of the King of Goryeo, isn't it worthy of him!" I was also very surprised to hear the princess talk about this, that Weng lord was very young, as early as a few years ago, when the old Khan of Mongolia visited Goryeo with his princes, he stalked Yuan Yeol to the death. What's so good about Yuan Lie's cold temperament, she likes it so much! This time, she disguised herself as a man and followed the envoys to the Qin State just to marry Yuan Lie! As a royal daughter, she is so unproductive, and she can even betray her parents and country for her sweetheart, which is eye-opening. ”

"Giving up everything because I like one person, it turns out that the emperor also thinks it's a very unproductive thing." Lin Yuan smiled.

"That's right!" Fan Yu shouted, "Lord Goryeo Weng is so stupid that he puts his life in the hands of others. I heard that the king of Goryeo had five sons, and this lord was his only daughter, and she was spoiled since she was a child. Alas, if she hadn't been so stupid, with her status and status, she would have been the queen of any big country in the future. Now elope to Mongolia...... Mo said that her father would be so angry that he didn't want to recognize her, and Yuan Yeol wouldn't treat her well. ”

Lin Yuan fell silent again. Fan Yu may not understand - only those who are born with a comfortable life are qualified to fall in love, and they are qualified to squander and not cherish. The pampering of her parents and relatives gave her infinite self-confidence, allowing her to pursue what she wanted.

Like myself and Fan Yu, it's a luxury to live.

The affairs of the Mongolian king were solved so neatly, which was a bit beyond Lin Yuan's expectations. She chatted with Fan Yu for a while, and then went to the treasury to prepare a generous gift in person, and brought Fan Yu to Concubine Chen. She and Concubine Chen actually have nothing to do with each other, and they don't know how to repay this favor in the future, so they have to promise that "if there is a place where I can help in the future, I can't give up the definition".

After sending off the Mongolian king, Lin Yuan and Tuoba Hong's lives became easier.

Xu was because Lin Yuan was coquettish and stupid in Jianzhang Palace that day, and Tuoba Hong came to Yuzhao Palace more often than he went to Huayang Palace. Concubine Jing didn't find fault with her, she understood that the emperor's favor couldn't compete with Lin Yuan, whether it was her age or appearance, she was not as much as Lin Yuan.

At the beginning of March, the weather was already warm, and Concubine Jing went to greet the Queen Mother when she was well, and at the same time took back the power of the palace.

Lin Yuan took the initiative to hand over the phoenix order in his hand to Concubine Jing. At that time, Concubine Jing was still stunned in surprise for a long time, and Lin Yuan said to her: "I was a member of the board of directors with Zhaoyi Niangniang before, to be honest, it is really hard to control the sundries in this harem. Without Concubine Jing Niangniang to lead the harem, the concubines are stupid and have a hard time doing things, but fortunately, now Niangniang is in charge of the palace again. This phoenix order should be held by the mother. ”

Concubine Jing had already torn her face with Lin Yuan, and at this time, seeing her come over to send Feng Ling with a smile, her heart was stable for a moment before she reluctantly smiled: "What did Sister Lin say, you and Zhao Zhaoyi have done a good job for more than a year." The emperor has praised it......"

Concubine Jing was right. In the two years that Lin Yuan was in power, she fought with Concubine Jing at the beginning, and tossed Li Fangyi and the original Wengui Concubine Liwei, and there was no shortage of chaos in the palace. But both the emperor and the queen mother have an appreciative attitude towards her, this Lin family doesn't say anything else, just bookkeeping, financial management this piece really has to be picked, the source of the silver in the palace remembers clearly, everyone lives the same life, but she can save 50,000 taels a year, don't forget that the Jiaotai Palace is still being repaired.

"That's just not asking for merit, but asking for no fault, the concubine really hasn't made any achievements." Lin Yuan was full of humility: "Niangniang is the head of all the concubines, and she has been in the palace for a long time, so she is naturally more familiar with big and small affairs." ”

Lin Yuan knew that now was not the time to fight with Concubine Jing for the phoenix order. She could see that Concubine Jing had lost her son again, and Tuoba Hong's pity for her was by no means something she could easily challenge. Even if you try your best to win her again, you will have to pay a lot of price.

Authority is a good thing, but she can't come over to fight until the emperor doesn't have that heartache for this lost child.

And whose hands the harem is in control is not something that a small phoenix order can decide.

Concubine Jing helped her back to the palace, and the Huayang Palace soon welcomed the concubines who came to visit and meet one after another, as well as the roster and account books handed over by the Shanggong Bureau. Gao Meiren's sharp eyes saw Feng Ling, who was pressed under the heavy gifts, and stepped forward with a smile: "Concubine Jing is the head of all the concubines, and you are in charge of the palace again, which is much more justifiable than others!" Hui Zhaoyuan Niangniang also respectfully to you, and couldn't wait to send the phoenix order, which shows the majesty of Niangniang in the harem. ”

This Gao beauty's brain is not bright, and she is not the only one sitting in the Hehuan Hall to meet Concubine Jing at this time, she is stepping on Lin Yuan to flatter Concubine Jing so loudly. Concubine Jing glanced at her and said, "Hui Zhaoyuan is just humble. ”

In the face of Gao's enthusiasm, Concubine Jing was not happy at all.

Praise her for the happy event of returning to the power of the palace? This authority was bought with a child! If that child can be born, perhaps, he will be the next monarch of Great Qin...... If there is a prince, where is she rare and has any authority!

This Gao Mei is really far worse than the talented person who was thrown into the cold palace. Although Fang Cai is of little use, Concubine Jing is still good to her, most of the reason is because Concubine Jing likes to have such a talking person by her side, and it is good to coax herself to be happy every day.

Looking at Gao Meiren at this time, Concubine Jing had little patience, and turned her face sideways for a moment to ignore her.

Gao Meiren was thick-skinned and unimpressed, and continued to say auspicious words of congratulations.

Although there are brainless people like Gao Meiren in the palace, there are even more clever and thoughtful people. A concubine surnamed Liu stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the envoys of Mongolia, Dayue, and Goryeo all left a few days ago, leaving a large number of tributes that have not been rewarded. The sisters are waiting anxiously, and the concubines are here to beg the mother to give her face and let the sisters get things as soon as possible. ”

Concubine Jing was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then nodded and said, "That's the reason." "Stretch out your hand and order the maid of the palace to take the booklet and the account book.

Concubine Liu's words reminded her. People have to look forward to life, although the child is gone, but if you are blindly depressed, I am afraid that the palace power in your hands can also be taken away. It's just a miscarriage, she can afford to lose, she is still Concubine Jing of Great Qin, and she also has Tuoba Hong's favor and power in her hands.

The envoys left one after another, and the emperor gave some of the tribute left behind to the concubines, but he didn't have time to send them to the palaces. This is the first palace affairs she will deal with since she returned to favor, and it is not a trivial matter - it is a tribute to the worship of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention the precious, rare treasures are unknown. It is very different from the things that came up from Jiangnan, Yunzhou, Qizhou and other places in Surili.

Although it is troublesome to divide things and deal with various contradictions, Concubine Jing is still happy to think about it. The exotic tribute is a windfall for the harem, and the concubines are all in a mood of being smashed by pies, and they are very happy. She did this beautifully, and the women would appreciate her and respect herβ€”though she was only a divider, not an envoy of the Three Kingdoms.

Then I cheered up and took the booklet and read it carefully. Looking at the smile overflowing from the corner of his eyes, he waved his hand and ordered a few concubines sitting around to come forward, pointing to the roster and the people: "Look, the Mongolians really have good things, five hundred quintals of matsutake mushrooms!" That stuff is so much more delicious than your average mushroom! Well, there is also the ruby of this Great Moon Country, I heard that the quality is not the same as that produced in our Central Plains...... It's a pity that the 1,000 dzi have been given to Emperor Changning. ”
