Chapter 104: Choosing a Waiter

Coincidentally, Concubine Wen was sitting idly in the small pavilion at the East Warm Pavilion without fear of the cold, spreading out a picture of Shengxuan's painting. Seeing Lin Yuan coming, she glanced at the palace man holding several large boxes behind Lin Yuan with a slight surprise, and said curiously: "Did Concubine Hui come to give the reward in person?" ”

When Empress Xiao was on the council, she naturally wouldn't be so laborious, and she would assign people under her to send things. Later, Concubine Jing gained power, and the same was true.

Lin Yuan smiled and said to Concubine Wen: "I have never done such an errand, the first time I took charge of the palace, I ran by myself, so as not to omission." Said with a helpless expression: "Even if I personally go to the palaces to give rewards, how many people are still dissatisfied, if I don't stare at it, the greedy people will take more, where do I dare to be lazy." They just bullied me when I first took over. ”

Xu Shi was slightly surprised when he heard this, he heard yesterday that Concubine Hui Gui was tossed by some concubines after taking power, and Li Fangyi and others also released the news that Concubine Hui Gui was incompetent to participate in the queen.

She knew that Lin Yuan's palace power was not easy to come by, and the road in the future would not be smooth. It's just that Lin Yuan has always been arrogant, even if she encounters any difficulties, she shouldn't complain in front of her old enemy, right?

Xu secretly paid attention in his heart, Lin Yuan came here today, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

Lin Yuan complained a few words, took a few steps forward to take a look at the painting of Wen Guifei, and praised: "Sister is talented, these birds and birds in the phoenix seem to be alive." ”

"Carving insect skills, no feet." Xu Shi straightened his sideburns, pointed to a chair and invited Lin Yuan to sit down: "I am preparing to present it to the Queen Mother, and I have to finish painting it in a hurry in the next few days." ”

This is to drive people out. Lin Yuan was not annoyed, and ordered someone to hand over the things to the palace people around Concubine Wen, but he stepped forward and pondered the painting carefully: "Yo, this is a lark, right?" Is this a peacock? The three white feathers on its head are exactly the same as Xu Wei's famous work, and those who don't know think it's the original......"

Lin Yuan was noisy, and Xu's patience was gradually exhausted. Her good-looking willow eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at it, with surprise on his face: "Isn't this Xu Wei's original work!" Hmm, a hundred birds and a phoenix...... It's better to see than to hear, it's really vivid, not ordinary! It seems that this painting has been preserved for more than 200 years, and the years are long, and its spirit is immortal. Sister Wen really has something good here! ”

Xu's painting today is copied, and the one hanging in front of him is Xu Wei's masterpiece. She watched Lin Yuan pinch her fingers on the head of the hundred birds and phoenixes that were worth thousands of gold, and couldn't help but be annoyed, and got up and said, "Hui Gui Concubine!" This thing was presented by the Western Xia Kingdom, and it is priceless......"

"Yo, Sister Wen is really gracious, such a valuable painting, the emperor has rewarded her sister!" Lin Yuan was envious.

Turning his head again, he caught a glimpse of the four pairs of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the corridor, all of which were Wang Xizhi's words, and the orchid pavilion preface was impressively listed.

Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised and ran over to watch them one by one. After a while, she sighed, turned around and said to Concubine Wen: "Sister Wen doesn't like gold and jade in the past, but she likes pen and ink alone. Most of the paintings in the palace have entered my sister's Bixiao Palace, and the day before yesterday, Wang Shurong Niangniang wanted to ask for a scroll of Wang Xizhi's handwriting, and it turned out that all of them were here with my sister. ”

Xu Shi sensed the sharpness in her words, and his face changed slightly. Lin Yuan didn't wait for her to interject, and looked sideways at Chu Xue and said: "Sister Wen is loved by the emperor, and she has a lot of rewards, and some good things are also her duty. However, ......" said and raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid there are still a lot of things here, which were taken directly from the Shang Palace Bureau?" The queen mother and the queen mother in the palace don't like pen and ink very much, and they don't care about these, but let the sister of the noble concubine enjoy it alone......"

"Come on, take away all the things in the Bixiao Palace, except for the rewards recorded in the book as the emperor!"

This was the last thing Lin Yuan said when he left Bixiao Palace. The concubine Wen behind her jumped wildly, and she didn't turn her head back into the sedan chair.

After returning to the Scarlet Building, I heard reports from the people that there had been a commotion in the palace, and the matter of Bixiao Hall was spreading. Lin Yuan sat idly and spread out the orchid pavilion to watch it carefully, with a smile on her face - it's really a good thing, although she has no interest in pen and ink, but Wang Xizhi's real handwriting has only been seen in the museum in her previous life, and she can touch it with her own hands at this time.

The favorite concubines in this palace like the Xu family, it is normal to be more greedy. The emperor is spoiled, the queen turns a blind eye, Concubine Jing doesn't like to offend people, so there are one or two things in the palace of the favorite concubine.

But fortunately, Lin Yuan doesn't have this problem - the reason is very simple, these so-called favorite concubines are scum in front of her, and the emperor's favor for her is not comparable to others. The good things that the emperor rewarded her can't be spent in her life, so why should she be greedy?

All her things have crossed the Ming Road, and those gold and jade ornaments that are out of order also have the reward records of the queen mother and the emperor. She really doesn't have a handle on this.

Two hours later, Xiao Chengzi stepped forward and said: "The concubines in several palaces of Wanchun Palace and Qixiang Palace have come to ask Niangniang for their guilt, and they have taken the initiative to return the things made in their palace, as well as the more monthly examples in the past. Mother, do you go out to meet? ”

"They're here so soon?" Lin Yuan chuckled, waved her hand in a good mood: "Concubine Ben is too lazy to see them." Let them send the things back to the Shanggong Bureau, and let the housekeeper's aunt register them. ”

"Yes."

"Xiao Chengzi, you said this person, you should beat it." Lin Yuan smiled with a smile on her face: "If I don't move my real character, they will be bullied by me, right?" I picked out the hardest one and smashed it, and they were scared like this, don't you think it's funny? ”

"Mother, you have to be careful." Xiao Chengzi's face was sad: "Let's loot the Bixiao Palace, but the noble concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has already knelt in front of the gate of Jianzhang Palace at this time to ask to see the emperor!" Although a few concubines came to us to ask for guilt, Li Fangyi, Wei Wenji, Ling Xiaoyi and others have not yet come, obviously waiting and seeing. If the emperor blames it......"

"Blame?" Lin Yuan chuckled: "Just by relying on the Xu family, is it worthy of competing with me for favor!" It is rumored in the palace that she is equal to me, but it is just a joke! If it weren't for the Chu family, without my secret support, she would have been able to support King Zhao? Now that Chu has been convicted, she is useless. ”

Xiao Chengzi was silent, he knew his master's temper, and leaned over and kowtowed and retreated.

"Xiao Chengzi, you wait." Lin Yuan beckoned: "Pass my words, take the monthly records of the previous two years to the concubine, the concubine will personally review it, pick out all the things that are used in the transgression, and order those who are greedy for ink to hand it in as soon as possible!" If it can't be handed over, it will be converted into cash and returned! In addition, Li Fangyi and other people who refuse to take the initiative to hand in, if they do not repent within three days, they will be punished twice the amount of greedy ink! ”

Xiao Chengzi listened to it and sighed in his heart, two years! Hurriedly said again: "Niangniang, this ...... Is this too harsh, many masters in the palace have been greedy, and after two years, I don't know how much...... Let them all spit it out at once, such a large amount, some people are forced to keep it, and they complain, and Wen Guifei will also use this matter to accuse Niangniang of being harsh......"

"This concubine is generous enough!" Lin Yuan snorted coldly: "It's only been two years, and I haven't started to investigate it when the emperor ascended the throne, it's already given them face!" Besides, Li Fangyi has a few more, and the concubine also gave them three days, which is enough to figure out how much she is greedy! ”

Xiao Chengzi became more and more frightened, and he was too busy to persuade again, so he went down on an errand.

The matter of Bixiao Hall caused an uproar in the palace. Many concubines were afraid of Lin Yuan's prestige, and went to the Shanggong Bureau one after another to return the extra things they had taken before, but there were also many people who sneered at Lin Yuan and waited to see the jokes.

Concubine Jing in the Hehuan Hall didn't expect Lin Yuan to make such a big move, and she was secretly uneasy in her heart, this Lin family, every time she did something, it would surprise her! The soldiers made dangerous moves, and used Wen Guifei as a raft to kill monkeys and show chickens! I'm not afraid that Wen Gui's concubines will jump off the wall in a hurry, and I'm not afraid that the concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards will join forces to oppose her!

If this one is not good, the authority that the Lin family has worked so hard to gain is estimated to be handed over. But if you get it right...... In the future, she will intimidate the six palaces, and no one will dare to disobey her, won't this harem become her main business, and where should she be placed as a concubine.

The more Concubine Jing thought about it, the more upset she became. Every time she fights Lin, she feels exhausted.

This time, I don't know if I can achieve my goal......

She sat quietly in the palace and thought to herself, watching the fire from the other side, and did not move.

At this time, the noble concubines were still kneeling in front of the gate of the dormitory of Jianzhang Palace and begging to see the emperor.

She came alone, and she didn't get involved with King Zhao - she was a smart person, if she used King Zhao as an excuse to fight for the emperor's pity in everything, she would soon be seen through by the emperor, and then disliked.

I had no choice but to ask for a long time, but the emperor didn't come out, and I heard that it was very busy with government affairs. The sky overhead was gray, and in a short time it was snowing again at noon. The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Concubine Wen almost became a snowman after kneeling for half an hour, she couldn't stand it and had to hide in the side hall and continue to wait for the emperor.

In the side hall of Jianzhang Palace, there is a hot earth dragon, the status of the noble concubine is precious, the palace people are attentive, and she is served with tea and fruits. As a result, Concubine Wen was eating preserved fruits in the side hall, steaming hot, and fell asleep on the bookcase in a daze.

By the time she woke up, it was getting late. She got up and ran outside the house, the snow stopped, but the candle flame in the dormitory of Jianzhang Palace was lit, and outside the palace gate stood Gonggong An and two yellow door attendants, and a little palace maid quietly opened the palace door with a bucket.

Concubine Wen's mind "boomed", this is the posture of the waiter...... She was waiting outside, and it turned out that Concubine Hui had already found another way.

She stood still for a long time, then turned to leave.

By the time the sun rose the next day, the snow had already begun to melt, but the air was getting colder. An oracle came out of the Jianzhang Palace, and the Jin Feng Cai Queen was the chosen attendant.

A low-level servant naturally can't cause any waves, but this Wang clan is extraordinary, this is a person who has been silent in the palace for several years.

Half of his body is buried in the soil, but he can still be favored for a while?

There are so many strange things in the palace.
