Dong's temperament is weak, and when Concubine Zhao asked so seriously, she immediately panicked, knelt down and said: "If you go back to Niangniang, you borrowed less than two hundred taels before and after, and it was the slave and Rong who promised to make it together." ”

"Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and your wealth is no more than that." Ling Zhao said solemnly, "Besides, now that you are the emperor's harem and the master, why are you still subject to the grandmother who brought you in the past?" ”

She turned around coldly and asked the person kneeling on the ground: "Your grade, there are not many monthly cases, and there is no place to spend silver in the palace for you to eat and drink, what have you done with so much silver?" ”

"Slave, slave maid......" The mother lay on the ground, and did not dare to speak.

"Let's take it and lend it." Ling Zhao said coldly, "This is something that is expressly forbidden in the palace. ”

As early as at home, Ling Zhao knew that the aunts in the house, the decent subordinates, and even the mothers would take out the money they had saved to lend money. Those who have earned it proudly show off everywhere, and some of them have been fooled and their money has been swept away, but they don't even dare to say anything.

There are naturally a lot of such things in the palace, and the thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City don't have to go outside to lend money, just going around the palace is enough.

The harem explicitly prohibits usury in private, and prohibits palace maids and eunuchs from gambling, but the people below cover each other, and they are repeatedly banned, and more importantly, people's * can never be suppressed.

Now that the queen is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, Ling Zhao is in charge of the six palaces, and she thinks that she has a heavy responsibility, and she bumps into the matter in front of her eyes, and she knowingly commits it, so she must be dealt with severely.

Dong Yun said softly on the side: "Master, Rong is about to give birth if he agrees, don't let you be scared, what a big deal, let's just leave it to the people of the Internal Affairs Office to deal with." ”

Ling Zhao frowned slightly, looked into the room, and instructed Ji Xin: "Go and tell Rong to agree, it's nothing, so she doesn't have to come out." ”

Ji Xin got up and quickly ran back to the house, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office on the side came to Ling Zhao's side and said, "Concubine Zhao, this matter will be handed over to the slave ......."

"Get her out." Ling Zhao said coldly, "It is a crime to lend money in private, and it is another crime to be disrespectful to the emperor's harem, who dared to be disrespectful to the first emperor's Barya Fujin back then?" In our generation, if you don't take Rong and Dong in your eyes, won't you become me and the queen's mother? Such a person can't stay in the palace, and let others see what happens if they break the rules. ”

The people in the Internal Affairs Office looked embarrassed, and they couldn't answer half a sentence, and they knew in their hearts that the people who bumped into it today deserved it.

But they have been in the palace for more than ten or twenty years, and they have seen Concubine Xiao Zhao take great pains to gain power, respectful on their faces, but they laugh in their hearts.

Ling Zhao was unaware of it, and said coldly: "Rong promised to be born soon, don't care about this matter, everything is important to the emperor's heir." But your palace maids are making a lot of noise and losing decency, so go to the respectful room to receive punishment, and do it according to the rules. ”

There was silence inside and outside the courtyard, Ling Zhao frowned, and scolded: "Didn't you hear what I said? ”

The little palace maid who Dong promised cried out with a wow, crawled to Dong's side and said, "Master, slaves and maids don't ...... board."

At this moment, in Kunning Palace, the inner hall is covered with all kinds of silk beads, and the palace maids bring the same brocade box, carefully packed it, and can not have anything more, nor can it be missing.

Shu Shu crossed his legs and wrote a note in front of the kang, and the little palace maid wiped it with the paste and carefully pasted it on the box.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Hesheri family will enter the palace to ask for peace, grandfather's brother, Amma's brother, so the old lady and the little daughter-in-law, so many female dependents have to prepare rewards.

Pomegranate thought that Shu Shu would be irritable about such a thing, but the queen didn't shake it off after handing it over to her, and today she was also happily helping to write notes together, talking and laughing in the room, and some good things were distributed to the little palace maids on the spot, and everyone was happy on their faces.

Shu Shu finished writing the note, lazily leaned against the window to look at the scene outside, saw the pomegranate go out, and talked with people under the eaves for a while, Shu Shu stretched his muscles, turned around and didn't look down, and he wasn't very curious.

But not long after, Pomegranate came back, sent an extra plate of fruit to Shu Shu in his hand, and said softly: "Niangniang, Rong promised there, something happened." ”

"She's not well?" Shu Shu asked nervously, "Did you hurt the child?" ”

Pomegranate ordered the palace maids to retreat, and only then did they talk about the matter, and the two palace maids who Rong promised and Dong promised were sent to the worship room to receive ten boards each, and the old palace maids who borrowed money and did not pay it back have been kicked out. ”

Shu Shu held the tea bowl and said, "This kind of thing is very common outside, both black and white. ”

When Pomegranate heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "It's still our mother's well-informed." ”

Shu Shu ate the fruit slowly, and said: "Since there are rules in the palace, it is not unreasonable for Concubine Zhao to do this, but we are all young and have not yet gained a firm foothold in the palace, it is true that we are the masters, but the people below are not easy to offend." ”

Pomegranate said: "Forgive the slave and the maid, what you said is what the slave and the maid want to say, this trouble, the people below are all in a group, Concubine Zhao has moved their interests, and they will inevitably fight back." I'm afraid that in the future, big and small things, openly and secretly neglect and make bad, Concubine Zhao doesn't know where something went wrong, and she was bullied in vain. ”

Shu Shu said: "If there is anything in the future, you should also send someone to watch for her, if someone dares to delay the bad, you should quickly think of something to make up for it, don't embarrass her, and don't let someone bully her." ”

"Yes." Pomegranate replied, "But ...... I'm afraid that if you are kind, you will be misunderstood as a joke. ”

Shu Shu disagreed: "Then don't let her know, I don't care about any credit, I can give it to her." ”

The little queen was so reasonable and generous, and Pomegranate sighed with emotion: "Niangniang, with a heart like you sitting in the middle palace, is it not good to worry about the harem?" It's just that Queen Xiaokang can't meet her. ”

"E-Niang, it's difficult, isn't it?" Shu Shu asked.

"Miss, she was once slapped in the mouth by Meng Guqing, the dignified queen, and she beat and scolded the concubine at will in front of people." Pomegranate sighed, "When she was there, no one in the harem who was not punished for kneeling joked that the floor tiles in front of Kunning Palace would also be broken." ”

Shu Shu said softly: "Auntie, don't worry, I won't become like that, and I will never be bullied casually, I am Eniang's daughter-in-law." “

Pomegranate smiled: "The slave is very relieved, very relieved. ”

But Shu Shu asked curiously: "Auntie, have you seen that Taizong's noble concubine?" Is she locked up in the Forbidden Palace in the East? ”

Pomegranate asked, "Who did Niangniang listen to?" ”

Shu Shu said: "When I was at home, I heard some rumors, that concubine is the same age as the imperial grandmother, is she still older, is she still alive?" ”

Pomegranate shook her head and said, "The slave maid has never seen it, but your mother-in-law has seen it, and the Empress Dowager once personally led the young lady there." ”

Shu Shu's eyes were full of curiosity: "Is Eniang afraid?" ”

Pomegranate said: "She is not afraid, the Queen Mother said, things that have nothing to do with her, don't let her think too much." ”

Shu Shu sighed, and said with a smile: "No wonder I asked the emperor that day, and I was reprimanded by him, since the emperor's grandmother thinks so, then I don't care." ”

Pomegranate smiled and asked, "Is Niangniang so curious?" ”

Shu Shu was a little arrogant in his eyes: "I think, I am the queen after all, and there should be nothing in this palace that I don't know." ”

Pomegranate's heart trembled, but he quickly settled down, and people said that they made a decision to kill while talking and laughing, which is this temperament.

As she spoke, it was rumored outside that Concubine Zhao asked to see her, Shu Shu tidied up her appearance, and generously invited her to enter the door.

Ling Zhao saw that the room was full of gift boxes, and knew that it was for the queen's family, but she was busy herself, and she didn't prepare it at all.

Regarding the matter of Rong agreeing to the other side, Ling Zhao told the queen in 1510, Shu Shu handed the fruit to Ling Zhao to eat, listened disapprerovingly, and when she finished, she said: "Rong promised to be fine, and other punishments that should be punished are also a wake-up call for others." ”

Ling Zhao bowed and said: "The concubine made the decision without permission, and did not tell you, and I hope that the mother will forgive her sins." ”

Shu Shuwaner: "Where do you forgive your sins, my sister's hard work is." ”

Ling Zhao's eyes flickered, she really had her own concerns, and got up and said, "Actually...... The concubine was very worried that Rong promised to be frightened, and if she injured the fetus in her womb, the concubine would be guilty of death. ”

"Then ask the doctor to take care of it, and I'll come forward." Shu Shu smiled, "Don't be nervous, it'll be fine, not to mention that they themselves don't respect it first." ”

Shu Shu tried her best to comfort Ling Zhao, I don't know if she can feel at ease, and in the evening of this day, Xuan Ye went straight to Kunning Palace after school to change clothes, and wanted to go to dinner with the imperial grandmother with Shu Shu.

At this moment, he stood motionless, dressed by the pomegranate, mentioned this matter, and said that it was told by Da Li Zi, so Shu Shu advised: "Don't ask, the emperor doesn't bother to ask, the affairs of the previous dynasty are not enough for you to worry about?" Concubine Zhao is also for the palace, does she ask the slave to climb to the master's head? ”

Xuan Ye said coldly: "She knows that she wants Ma Jia's family to know and respect herself, when she bows to Ao, does she remember that she is my imperial concubine?" ”

Pomegranate was also stunned when she heard this, and looked at the queen on the side, and they understood why Concubine Zhao was sick before.

Shu Shu handed over the shoulder, tiptoed to put it on Xuan Ye, and whispered in his ear, "Did you say that you leaked your mouth?" ”

Xuan Ye was stunned, and hurriedly instructed Pomegranate: "You should act as if you didn't hear anything." ”
