Chapter 396: Stupid Imperial Concubine

The imperial concubine originally heard the first half of the emperor's words, and she was quite proud, thinking that the emperor wanted to praise her in public. Unexpectedly, after listening to the second half of the words, my heart was half cold.

Even if she is a fool, she can hear the emperor's dissatisfaction with her, and her face cannot be described as pale at this moment. It's just too ugly.

"The emperor did not have much money for disaster relief before the concubines, and the reason why the concubines were able to take out so many valuable things to celebrate the emperor's birthday today. Most of them were taken out by the concubines' mothers. The concubine explained in a panic.

She obviously wanted to please the emperor, but she didn't want the emperor to be angry.

It was she who explained that the concubine's mother's face was green, like sitting on pins and needles.

Scholar Zhou: How can he have such a stupid daughter? Some regret lending money to their daughters.

He really didn't know that the stupid daughter collected money from her mother's family and used it to prepare for the emperor's birthday.

Before, the stupid daughter said in front of the emperor that she would give a birthday gift, but she had discussed it with her mother's family for a long time, and he secretly boasted in his heart that his stupid daughter was finally smart. I know how to say good things about my mother's family in front of the emperor.

I didn't want to dig a big pit and wait for him here.

Kapok watched the play quietly, and the concubine was really a cheat. She had to have such a stupid daughter to be.

"I don't even know that the concubine's father, a scholar of the first grade, has a lot of silver taels every month. But as far as I know, the concubine's father and brother are not good at taking care of private property. The year before last, he lost all his private property.

The university scholar has been crying poor in front of me, and he is the most honest and good official in the eyes of hundreds of officials. Today, I learned that the university scholar is so rich. Could it be that the previous crying poverty was all played for me? The emperor's majestic voice smashed like a hammer on the hearts of the university scholars.

The scholar was so frightened that his legs were weak, he was a scholar of the first-class palace, and his daughter was the imperial concubine of the dynasty, so his worth was naturally rising. Usually they also accept bribes from officials.

When the emperor asked this, he was obviously suspicious of him. His stupid daughter wanted to kill him, but he couldn't.

"If you go back to the emperor, the old minister will empty his family so that he can borrow so much silver from the concubine. The emperor clearly observed that this was all the family wealth that the old ministers had accumulated for several generations. The back of the university scholar was cold and sweaty. He made such an excuse.

There are so many silver taels saved by generations of family members, and the emperor should not suspect that he accepted bribes from officials.

"I'll just believe you this time. However, when the palace banquet is over, I will send someone to search the university scholar's mansion. Gather up valuable things, and bring them all back to fill the treasury. Just in case. I will also be grateful for the contributions that scholars have made to the imperial court. Let you go. The emperor's expression was full of restraint at this time, and he couldn't see his emotions.

In fact, he is in a good mood, and if nothing else, he will collect a lot of valuable things, and the treasury has a lot of inputs, can this be a bad mood? If he were alone, he would be happy.

Due to the fact that the Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military, he wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor, and it was not convenient for him to make a sound.

The scholar knelt on the ground, only feeling dizzy, didn't the emperor mean that he wanted to raid his house?

The university scholar also suffered, and his family was poor when he was young, but he was good at studying. was caught by his father-in-law, who was the king of the county. married the county lord, and then rose to prominence in the court, becoming today's first-class scholar.

When he was young, his family was poor, which made him obsessed with money. None of the money he earned was put into the bank, but all of it was kept in the treasury of his house. There are countless gold, silver, and jewelry.

If the emperor sent someone to search the house, it would be tantamount to raiding the house.

He couldn't say a word of rebuttal. The more he escapes, the more it proves that he is weak and tired.

The reason why the emperor is the emperor is not so easy to fool, I don't know if I will ask Dali Siqing to check him.

At that time, it was not a check, not to mention that the money he had saved was gone, and even his official position was not guaranteed.

The scholar rolled his eyes and fainted when he thought of these two eyes, and the ministers sighed. The imperial concubine blamed herself even more in her heart, and her head was dizzy. I really can't stay at the palace banquet.

"The emperor's concubine is unwell, and I hope that the emperor will allow the concubine to go down to rest." The imperial concubine bowed slowly to the position of the emperor above.

"Quasi-play." The emperor didn't want to see her either, and soon allowed her to go down to rest.

As for the scholars who fainted and died in the main hall, the emperor ordered the palace guards to carry people out and find a place to settle down. Academicians are not allowed to return home.

In case he is pretending to be dizzy, the purpose is to transfer money back to the house, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Kapok sat there quietly watching the play, and saw the bachelor with gray temples being carried out by the guards.

Such a sentence popped up in her mind, she worked hard for half her life to save her family wealth, and she was still a bitter young man when she returned.

It's too dramatic, and this palace banquet is too exciting, this big drama comes out one after another, and you sing and I will appear. She can't even see the hurry.

Then it went on as usual, and the concubines presented their birthday gifts to the emperor one by one.

When it was the prince's turn, the prince's small figure appeared in the middle of the hall, with a steadiness that a five-year-old child did not have, and his small body was straight and straight, and no one dared to underestimate him.

"My father and sons made a dagger with their own hands and used it for my father's self-defense." Chu Tianming stood there neither humble nor arrogant, and he had the demeanor of a king at a young age.

"The prince has a heart, and my father likes you to do it himself." The emperor opened his mouth with satisfaction.

He has never seen anything good, it is rare to make it by himself, and the prince has this filial piety, and he is very pleased.

The appearance of the dagger is very atmospheric and exquisite, and the scabbard made of gold is engraved with a noble dragon pattern, symbolizing supreme status. The emperor likes it more and more.

The ministers also praised in their hearts that the prince would give gifts. The gold dagger is inlaid with the best emeralds, which looks unusually precious, and it is made by the prince himself, so the emperor can not like it.

The crown prince was also rewarded by the emperor. Tianming is a child in the end, he has been praised and rewarded by his father, and his heart is happy. Thinking that after the palace banquet, he would divide the reward equally with his aunt.

After all, his aunt came up with the idea for him. My aunt is the smartest one.

Kapok didn't know what Tianming had in her heart, and she could be appreciated by the emperor, and she was also happy for Tianming in her heart.

The eldest princess's birthday gift to the emperor is a pair of longevity peaches made of the best mutton fat white jade, with the best green jade as green leaves, which makes the peaches particularly realistic.

The ministers were amazed, the eldest princess was so generous.

is worthy of being the eldest princess, the most favored child of the first emperor, and the wealth must not be said much.

When the third prince presented his birthday gift, the ministers in the palace did not dare to make any sound, and for a while, the needles in the palace could be heard. They all held their breath and waited to see the birthday ceremony of the third prince.

If you want to say that the richest man in the whole capital, it belongs to the three princes. Richer than the imperial merchants.
