Chapter Seventy-Three: Reducing Expenditures
"I heard that Duan Xiuyi has taken care of you very much these days, and I have checked everything one by one, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, and it is by no means pretentious, I guess you are also very grateful to Duan Xiuyi in your heart." Li Ling felt that since she came, if she didn't say anything, it would inevitably make people suspicious, so she went straight to the purpose of her coming today.
"Sister Duan does take good care of her sister." Jia Xiurong didn't know what the purpose of Li Ling said this.
"My 'good' sister Nan, you once slipped on the tire, don't you know that the people of this harem are sinister, and you are willing to believe the person who robbed you of your position in front of the queen mother?" Rita's words were full of mockery.
Jia Xiurong was stimulated by Liling's words, and her slippery tire was an eternal thorn in her heart before.
Li Ling glanced at Jia Xiurong's face and continued: "Could it be that you think that because of the Queen Mother's orders in this matter, Duan Xiuyi had to obey?" Is she too enthusiastic to take care of you like this, presumably, even if she takes care of her own fetus, it is nothing more than that. ”
As soon as Li Ling's words came out, Fu Nange was also a little thoughtful, but then looked at Li Ling coldly.
As soon as Li Ling saw Jia Xiurong's expression, she knew what Jia Xiurong was thinking, and Li Ling said, "Do you think that this palace is really provoking the relationship between you and Duan Xiuyi?" Do you think I need this? Just a kind reminder to remind you. ”
With that, Ri Ling got up from her chair and was about to leave.
"Think about it, Duan Xiuyi takes care of you like this, what good can she do, people, I'm afraid that only when taking care of her own children will she be so careful, and Duan Xiuyi herself will not get pregnant." After speaking, Li Ling didn't wait for Jia Xiu Rong to react, and walked out of Jia Xiu Rong's bedroom, although the words were subtle, but Li Ling believed that Jia Xiu Rong must understand.
Presumably, next, Jia Xiu will have some temptations for the end repairer.
The show will start soon.
"Jia Xiurong is popular today, fortunately there is no big problem, but the emperor is really angry, saying that Duan Xiuyi did not take care of Jia Xiurong, and ordered Duan Xiuyi to be grounded for half a month, Jia Xiurong herself said to the emperor that she wanted Yao Guifei to take care of her fetus, but the emperor refused on the grounds that the concubine wanted to take care of the eldest prince, and only let Jia Xiurong raise the fetus in the Pianjiao Palace." Edari said the news that he had inquired about today.
Li Ling was very happy, and a little puzzled, happy that Jia Xiurong still tested Duan Xiuyi, and no longer took care of Jia Xiuyi's fetus, what is puzzled is that Jia Xiurong should know that Yao Guifei is now taking care of the eldest prince who is not in good health, how can she take care of Jia Xiurong's fetus, presumably Jia Xiurong also knows this, so why do you want to let Yao Guifei be responsible for giving her a baby?
What kind of dumb riddle is Jia Contour playing? 3000
2-13 is about to enter April, and it is about to be the day of the draft, Li Ling is a little stunned, and there will be new concubines entering the palace at that time, looking at those delicate new faces, Li Ling feels that she is really old.
At this time, a major event also happened in the court, after a winter of recuperation, Yuan Xiguo wantonly raised troops to invade the country of pardon, and captured the three cities of the border city of the country of pardon in less than half a month, for a time, the people in the court were panicked.
The Emperor of the Pardon Kingdom was furious, and even appointed General An Da as the commander-in-chief, leading an army of 200,000 to the front line to support, and General An Da was the father of Yao Guifei An Wanling.
Li Ling sighed, it seems that she can't move Concubine Yao for the time being, this battle, I don't know how many years it will take, if the days are longer, the eldest prince has grown up, at that time, Concubine Yao's power will be even stronger, at that time, how can she avenge the fetus that has not yet taken shape?
But it doesn't matter, in this battle, the Yuan Xiguo is menacing, and the victory or defeat is still unknown, if General An is defeated, then Concubine Yao will also plummet; If she wins, then Concubine Yao will rise with the tide, but General An's merits are high, and Concubine Yao has a big prince, the emperor will definitely be jealous, and will not let the An family sit big, and will definitely suppress one or two, and disperse the military power in General An's hands.
Since it will disperse the military power, Li Ling feels that it seems necessary for her to make some arrangements in advance, maybe when the time comes, she can also get a piece of the pie.
Thinking of this, Li Ling immediately took a letter of resignation and asked Yang Yuan to send it to Li Jingzong.
The main content of the letter is to ask Li Jingzong to find some children from the poor family who were born in martial arts, and then take care of one or two, promote more, and it is best to join the military department.
"There was a war in the previous dynasty, and in order to reduce expenses, the emperor decreed that there would be no draft this year, and the annual draft was changed to once every three years." Please be happy on this day, Concubine Yao said the news that made many people happy.
"Really?" The first thing to do is Meng Xiuyuan.
"Does this palace dare to falsely spread the emperor's will?" Concubine Yao smiled and confirmed the authenticity of the matter.
"That's really ......" Xin Chongyi originally wanted to say that it was really good, but she felt that the occasion was wrong, so she changed her words stiffly: "It's really going to be less flowery and jade-like sisters......"
"It's not, but now it's a time of war, and the emperor doesn't have the heart to draft." Of course, it was Bai Baolin who spoke behind Xin Chongyi.
Pear Ling was silent, I don't know how many people will be happy after the draft is stopped, and how many people will be unhappy, but the draft will be held once every three years in the future, which is also good.
As Liling thought, after stopping this year's draft, there are indeed many happy people, and the happiest is the group of people who entered the palace last year, except for Duan Xiuyi and Meng Xiuyuan, there don't seem to be a few people in high positions, and it seems that only Meng Xiuyuan has been favored for a while, and most people can't see the emperor's face, and now the draft has a newcomer, so aren't they going to see the saint face forever? And in the next two years, there will be no newcomers entering the palace, and they have a lot more opportunities, can you not be happy?
Today's greetings are a little more festive because of the fact that there is no draft this year.
"As concubines, we should also relieve the emperor's worries, so let's do it, from today on, the harem will reduce expenses, and we will reduce everyone's income by half!" Concubine Yao interrupted the discussion below.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and the expenses were reduced, and the reduction was halved as soon as they shrank! Isn't that too much?
"What? Don't all my sisters want to worry about the emperor?! Contribute to the country? Concubine Yao's face sank.
"How come, of course the concubine is to follow the will of the concubine." It was Li Ling who spoke, Yao Guifei's move was good, this matter was done, it was naturally Yao Guifei who left a name in the emperor's heart, and it would only be Yao Guifei who had a virtuous reputation, even if all of them also reduced their share.
"What about you? Can you have any objections? Yao Guifei was still very satisfied that Li Ling was the first to respond to the call.
"Obey the will of the concubine!" Concubine Yao and Guifei have moved out of the emperor and the country, and all the concubines dare to refute, so they have to respond.
Concubine Yao showed a very satisfied look on her face.
