Chapter 11: The Delicate Concubine & Liwei Takes Advantage
After eating, Murong Jin left quietly as he had done a few days ago.
Li Xiang flipped through the ledger that he had just sent, and just wanted to burn it.
The maid in front of her, Xiao Huang, trembled, and saw that Li Xiang's face was getting worse and worse, and she was about to kneel.
"Your aunt is also a female official, so she can't figure out the accounts?!" Li Xiang closed the account book, it stands to reason that from the time she entered the door, she should have handed it over to her along with the princess's seal and the key to the Xiangqi Palace, and it would be delayed until today, not right!
"The princess atoned for her sins! Aunt...... Auntie, she is not in good health, and she was punished again not long ago, so she ...... "Xiao Huang was miserable, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Ask the princess to atone for her sins!" ”
"Where's your aunt? Why don't you come by yourself? "Sending a little maid to deliver the account book, or the fake account book that has been repeatedly covered up and can't be matched, is this really when she is young and doesn't know anything, or do you think she can't see how much of it is fake?
"Auntie...... My aunt is not in good health and is sick, otherwise, I would have sent the account book over early, please forgive me! ”
Li Xiang saw that this maid was crying as if it was real, so he wanted to send someone to prepare a thin coffin for Cheng's first.
"What are these words! Or our mother, you can't make it! Lixia wrinkled her eyebrows, and stared at the girl with big round eyes.
"Forget it, since Cheng is not coming, let's go and see her, if she is really sick, she should take care of her." Li Xiang didn't want to look at the maid, so he picked up the account book and walked out, taking the spring rain that was about to come in outside.
Lixia glanced at Xiao Huang, who was still kneeling, pulled someone up, and walked out, "Don't look, don't be stunned, our mother has arrived at your Qiutang Courtyard." ”
Xiao Huang didn't seem to have reacted yet, this, this said to go to Qiutang Courtyard, and left?
……
At the gate of Qiutang Courtyard, Cheng Yiqiu Cheng was looking at the door, and after looking for a while, he happened to be bumped into by Li Xiang, who came straight here.
Looking at each other, Cheng took a few steps back, eager to turn around and run.
"Cheng, this palace is here to take a look at you, ask something by the way, don't be in a hurry." Li Xiang didn't understand, this courage and brain, how dare she do it in the account book, and stop the Cheng family who couldn't wait to escape, Li Xiang and his party went straight to the door.
"See, see the princess and the princess ......"
"Don't tremble, get up and talk." Li Xiang glanced at it, picked a place to sit, put the account book on the table, and looked at Cheng, "I'll make a long story short, I heard the maid say that you are not in good health?" Has the doctor come to see you? How so? ”
Cheng licked his lips and didn't dare to sit, "The house doctor said, it's just that the winter is cold, and the north is blowing, so it's infected with the wind and cold, and if it doesn't matter, Lao Niangniang is worried......"
"Since you don't care, dare to ask Aunt Cheng, why was this account book sent by the maid?" Lixia glanced at Li Xiang and opened his mouth, "My aunt is also a female official, why don't you even understand these rules?" ”
"I, I'm ......" Cheng didn't expect that this was the one he asked, and he didn't stutter for a long time.
"Cheng?" Li Xiang clicked on the ledger, and as soon as she raised her hand, the ledger was thrown in front of Cheng's family, so shocked that she took several steps back and almost didn't stand firm.
"Mother, mother, mother......"
"If it is less, it will be deducted from your monthly silver, until the deduction is finished, can you have any objections?"
"I didn't ...... No. ”
"Then deduct it for 30 years first, deduct half of it every month, and then talk about it after the deduction." Li Xiang stood up and straightened his clothes, "Concubine Cheng, the wind and cold are getting heavier, and I am afraid of disturbing others, so I asked to close the hospital for three months, and I can't come out without an edict." ”
Cheng sat on the ground, Li Xiang walked out, and Chunyu picked up the account book and followed.
Wang Fu, the late housekeeper, only heard the last sentence, didn't ask, and directly called someone to seal the courtyard.
"You came just in time, from now on, register the things in everyone's house, start again, and clear the treasury in the house, and the stingers of the Xianxian Courtyard will come over to help, and then count the account books one by one in a few days, put them in place as soon as possible, repack and seal them in the warehouse."
Xiangqi Wangfu has the master's wedding, the treasury is supposed to have been counted, the account book is also cleared, the account handed over to the master's mother, there must be no problem, the front yard Li Xiang is very relieved, just look at those people to know that Wang Fujiao is good, but this backyard, it seems that no one cares about it, since you want to check, check it together, now check it, it will save trouble in the future.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" Wang Fu responded directly, but Li Xiang glanced at him more, and said: "In the evening, the palace will say to the prince, you can do it tomorrow." ”
Not long after the wedding, Murong Jin will definitely come to Xianxian Courtyard tonight, this is considered to be the dignity of the bride, even if she doesn't like it anymore, she has to do it, but I don't know how long it will last according to the rules of the Xiangqi Palace.
"Yes!" Wang Fu did not doubt it, and watched people seal the courtyard.
Li Xiang walked back, changed his path, and suddenly smelled a medicinal fragrance, which was very strong, "Mrs. Xue lives near here?" ”
"Yes, I heard that Mrs. Xue has been sick for many years, and she has never stopped taking medicine when she entered the house." Chunyu glanced at it and pursed her lips slightly.
The one who is favored in the house is Mrs. Snow, and there is no one. Moreover, on the night of the wedding, it was the people in their courtyard who actually tried to invite the prince!
"The one who came to invite the prince that night was the person from their courtyard!" Lixia does not have as much consideration as spring rain, and his temper is a little anxious and angry.
"Unless the Shangguan clan wants to seek death, it's not her intention, and it's not her henchman's doing." Li Xiang didn't care, this marriage was a marriage.
What is Marriage Gifting? The two were a good match, and the Son of Heaven decreed that they would become husband and wife.
This is even more different from the concubine who was selected by the East Palace last year, the concubine was selected, and the one who was chosen, she bowed her head at the beginning, she was not, she was married, even though there were some things mixed in it, but, it is understandable that from now on, half of her will be in the Xiangqi Palace, if Murong Jin unfortunately dies young, the entire Xiangqi Mansion will be hers.
The Son of Heaven is a matchmaker, how many people are staring at this marriage, the Shangguan family dares to be a demon, the first one in the palace can't spare her, but the concubine knows very well how she married into the palace.
Lixia also figured it out after a while, but he couldn't figure out who did it, and suddenly let the Shangguan clan offend the new master's mother, such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, where did such a person come from in the house?
"The water in Xiangqiwang's Mansion is very deep, there are more than six concubines in the concubine room, and there are some messy people who have been grounded and punished, we haven't seen it yet!"
Li Xiang smiled, there are a lot of people, the six of them that day are still counted as concubines, that is, they are close to Murong Jin's body, but what about those who are not close? In terms of Murong Jin's favor in front of the emperor and the status of the noble concubine in the harem, there will never be a shortage of women in the inner mansion of the Xiangqi Palace, and there will be no shortage of spies who are sent in.
"Let's go, she's sick when she's sick, Lixia, you go to a few other people later, there is a box of red jade beads in the jewelry in the palace yesterday, and I will share it with them." Li Xiang glanced at the Wenxue Courtyard on the other side of the wall, and remembered the demeanor of the Shangguan clan that day, he was sick like this, and Zhou Shi couldn't cure it, was he sick or poisoned?
