Chapter 12 The first time the concubine goes to court
The Queen Mother was so frightened by Leng Yue's shout that the hand stove almost fell to the ground, and said with some disgust: "How old is it, I was still shocked, I really don't know how you got mixed up with this concubine." β
Leng Yue smiled embarrassedly, she didn't know why it was easy to show her active side in front of the Queen Mother, was it just because she was the mother of the dust?
"Queen Mother, just now when I was selling the Golden Palace, I moved a gold vase, the vase is two feet high, and the thickness of the inner wall is also a finger, but I picked it up easily, if it is made of pure gold, I am afraid it will cost twenty catties. No wonder I thought something was wrong at the time, but because someone died, I didn't think about it. Leng Yue finally knew why she felt something was wrong.
The Queen Mother sneered and said: "It seems that Concubine Mei and the Queen are in a group, they think that this dark Chen Cang's technique is very clever, but they don't know that we have a person here." β
Leng Yue pinched her fingers and calculated: "The silver in the treasury has been exchanged for gold, and only a few are left to pay for the expenses in the palace, so it should probably be six or seven million taels." I don't know how much gold has been diverted from the Golden Temple, and we must dig up their means of transportation as soon as possible. β
The Queen Mother nodded, rubbed her forehead again and said, "What a troublesome woman." β
Leng Yue took back the secret letter and said, "Let's send this letter out, as long as the queen's funds can't be sent, then Jialan Kingdom will definitely put pressure on her, and then her fox tail will be exposed." β
The Queen Mother scolded with a smile: "It's really a human spirit, you go and do it, I'm going to sleep." β
Leng Yue smiled and returned to Huiyue Palace with the three of them. Leng Yue took a nap, but unfortunately she was woken up by the holy decree before she could wake up naturally.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The queen repented in the cold palace, and the harem affairs were taken care of by the concubine. After reciting the holy decree, Gonggong Ruan said a little unnaturally: "Niangniang, the emperor is distressed by Niangniang, and wants Niangniang to take care of her body with peace of mind and not overwork." β
Leng Yue didn't say anything, just nodded, and Shui Ling came back after sending Ruan Gonggong out and said, "Niangniang, the emperor is exploiting Niangniang's rights."
β
Leng Yue smiled: "It doesn't matter, the concubines in the harem can't afford to make any big waves, and I don't bother to care." However, the emperor has begun to stand on the side of the concubine, if we don't make a move, I'm afraid that the power will be divided. β
Peaches said a little unwillingly: "Niangniang, you should think of a way!" The slave maid went to the imperial dining room to boil some porridge for the mother, but the eunuch guarding the door of the imperial dining room was replaced, and the slave and maid were not allowed to enter at all. He also said that no one could come, and if he wanted to eat, he would wait until dawn to start the fire before eating. β
Leng Yue sighed and said: "I originally wanted to save money for the palace, but I didn't open a small kitchen, it seems that there is no need for this at the moment, so I will clean up and read today, and I will not go to the imperial dining room in the future." β
"Yes." Momoko replied obediently.
Leng Yue looked at the sky and said, "It's time to go to court, give me a freshness, wear a costume today, I'm going to kill a few people." β
Shui Ling asked Peaches to go out to fetch water, then picked up a comb to comb Leng Yue's hair, and asked, "Niangniang, do you want to get rid of those useless people?" β
Leng Yue nodded and said, "It seems that my hands are destined to be dirty. "She's going to live up to Ling Tian's expectations.
The cold moon is dressed up, and it looks even more glamorous, beautiful and enchanting. She looked at herself in the mirror and sneered: "People who are beautiful will also turn into red faces and dry bones, so let's do something meaningful while the flowers are in full bloom." β
"The mother is so beautiful...... The concubine is simply incomparable to the mother. Momoko looked at Leng Yue adoringly.
Leng Yue nodded Peach's little nose and said with a smile: "Women, if you want to compete for favor, you can't rely on beauty alone. You have to rely on your brains and means, I used song and dance to confuse the emperor at the beginning, and now the concubine is relying on fun to attract the emperor. β
"Oh, the slave maid still thinks that as long as she is beautiful in the palace, she can be favored." Momoko said stupidly.
Leng Yue sighed and said: "In the past, Bai Yuhe and Long Lan'er were both beautiful women, but unfortunately they all died.
Therefore, if you want to be favored, you must not only be beautiful, but also ruthless, otherwise life will be as short as an epiphany. Let's go and make a fuss in the court. β
Leng Yue came to the outside of the Jinluan Hall and whispered to Nian Jiuling: "Help me inform Yan Niang and ask her to go to the gold mine to exchange the silver for gold, and then save it." By the way, help me see how the output of the gold mine is, if our funds can't compete with Jialan, the consequences will be terrible. β
Nian Jiuling nodded, turned around and left, although the red magpie is an official, he does not have the right to go to the court, Shui Ling and Peaches are always there, and they can follow the master to the court at any time to listen to the government, but they can't discuss the government.
Gonggong Ruan was taken aback when he saw Leng Yue dressed up, but he didn't stop him, in the rules of the Holy Dragon Dynasty, the concubine and the queen can go to the court to discuss politics, but only once a month. So he didn't stop him, he just shouted: "Guifei Niangniang, go to the court to discuss politics-"
Leng Yue raised her arrogant head, walked into the main hall, and saw the concubine sitting beside the emperor at a glance. She looked at the emperor with sharp eyes, and the emperor was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to collide with Leng Yue's gaze.
"I didn't expect that the rules of the Holy Dragon Dynasty have changed, and even the concubines can go to court!" Leng Yue said sarcastically.
Father-in-law Ruan sweated on his forehead, and explained for the emperor: "The noble concubine forgives the sin, it was the old slave who saw the emperor's poor health and privately asked the concubine to take care of her. β
Leng Yue saw that Grandpa Ruan had taken it on with all his might, so she didn't want to pursue it, and said: "Grandpa Ruan's loyalty to the emperor, this palace understands, you must know that this palace is not in good health to find your sister, right?" β
When Gonggong Ruan saw Leng Yue giving him the steps, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow gratefully, he thought that he would be executed if he spoke for the emperor today!
"Get up, I'm here today to ask the ministers, if someone not only accepts bribes, but also withholds tribute without permission, what kind of crime will such a person be?" Seeing that Leng Yue had pardoned him, Gonggong Ruan hurriedly pulled Concubine Mei and asked her to get up.
Concubine Mei was unwilling, but she didn't dare to be too arrogant, so she had to get up from the dragon chair and sit on the chair below.
Leng Yue sat beside the emperor generously, and glanced coldly at the ministers below, and sure enough, a few of them were trembling.
She sneered and continued: "There are some secret reports here in this palace, I don't know if anyone wants to hear about it?" β
The right minister suddenly came out and said: "Guifei Niangniang, the ministers are discussing with the emperor, the southern rainstorm is repeated, and there is a flood, whether to allocate disaster relief funds, as for the secret report that Niangniang said, it is better to wait and listen." β
"Oh? So what do the ministers think about this? Leng Yue lowered her eyes to Zuo Xiang.
Zuo Xiang stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Although there has been a lot of rain in the south, and there has indeed been a flood, Huang Jun, a protΓ©gΓ© of Xiaguan, has already handled it properly and comforted the people affected by the disaster, so there is no need to allocate this disaster relief money for the time being." β
Huang Jun? Leng Yue felt that this name was familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that Huang Jun was the one who caused the plague at that time, and he was ordered by Hecheng County. He's a good officer, and since he said it's okay, it's definitely not a big deal.
Right Prime Minister snorted coldly: "Although Huang Jun has made a difference in Yinhe City, he doesn't understand water conservancy after all, and we can't just listen to his one-sided words. Lao Chen: There is a joint application from the people here, and if the disaster relief funds are not allocated, I am afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel. β
Zuo Xiang also snorted coldly: "Even if you need silver for disaster relief, you don't need a huge amount as five million taels. β
Leng Yue has a plan in her heart, it seems that the queen wants to defraud the silver in the name of this disaster relief, disaster relief? I'm afraid that the silver will be robbed by her before it arrives. So Leng Yue said: "The number of five million taels is too big, let's keep it down for the time being, and we will discuss it later." β
The right minister seemed to refuse to let go like this, and took the lead in kneeling down and said: "Please sympathize with the suffering of the people and allocate disaster relief funds." As soon as he knelt, most of the people in the court also knelt down and repeated what Zuo Xiang had just said.
Leng Yue's face was cold, and the people who knelt down were all people who supported Concubine Mei, some of them supported themselves when they were standing, and some of them were villains who watched her change. I didn't expect my power to be so weak......
