Chapter 36: The Queen Mother's Little Treasury
In the next few days, he practiced martial arts during the day and went to the Queen Mother's bedroom at night to hand in his homework.
It's so unpretentious and boring.
Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain, once they start to roll down, it is difficult to stop...
At first, Empress Dowager Chen still wanted to work hard to maintain her so-called 'Empress Dowager prestige', but now, what 'Empress Dowager prestige' has long been left behind.
She entered the palace when she was in the prime of her life, and was made the queen at the age of twenty-eight, but at that time, Emperor Sheng Yuan was already riddled with diseases, which caused her to become the queen mother before she became the queen mother for two years, and lived in the deep palace since then.
Have you ever felt that fiery chest and warmth?
Especially after experiencing the bliss of the world, she just wants the little bird to snuggle in the arms of a thief, feel the warmth that she has never experienced, and she is too lazy to move...
Xu Boqing hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and looked out of the white window, feeling quite uncomfortable.
In the past few days, he has thought about ways to make money, thought about making soap, and thought about making gunpowder, but when he thinks about his chemistry achievements in his previous life, he can't be a mother at all.
It is possible to copy a few poems, but poetry needs to be circulated and fermented over time, and its value is difficult to determine, and it cannot be realized into money in a short period of time.
For the sake of the second uncle's family...
Let's eat soft rice if you eat soft rice...
Empress Dowager Chen rubbed her face on his chest affectionately, and suddenly heard a sigh of nothingness, she looked up, only to find that the thief who not only stole her body, but also stole her own heart was actually full of melancholy at this moment.
"Hmph, are you tired of being with the mourning family?"
"How can I be?"
Xu Boqing hugged the beautiful woman in his arms tighter, rubbed his cheek lightly against her forehead, and murmured: "I have cultivated the blessings of eight lifetimes in order to get the favor of the Queen Mother, the baby is too late, how can it be greasy?" ”
"Humph......"
When did Empress Dowager Chen hear such explicit love words, leaned over his shoulder and took a bite lightly, and asked coquettishly: "Then what are you sad about?" ”
Although she subconsciously knew that the thief would say something nice to amuse herself, she still couldn't resist the feeling.
Xu Boqing pecked her lightly on the forehead, sighed and said, "I'm lamenting that it's hard to move an inch without money in this world." ”
"Can't move an inch without money?"
Empress Dowager Chen was shocked, raised her head and looked directly into his eyes and asked, "The mourning family wants to know, what happened to make you sigh like this?" ”
Xu Boqing deliberately groaned, and then recounted his experience of going to the prison a few days ago.
"This criminal department is so bold!!"
After Empress Dowager Chen heard that the price of the prison could be 'ransomed', Feng Mu stood up and wanted to dress, and said coldly: "The mourning family has to go and talk to the emperor and let him rectify the unhealthy atmosphere of the criminal department." ”
"Don't Don't ......"
Xu Boqing hurriedly calmed him down, and in the face of the Queen Mother's puzzled gaze, he sighed and explained: "Niangniang, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." ”
"The mourning family is the queen mother!"
Empress Dowager Chen said disapprerovingly: "Although it is not a continuation of the bloodline, but nominally speaking, the mourning family is still the mother of the current emperor. ”
"That being said, it's more than that."
Xu Boqing patiently explained: "The six departments of the imperial court are under the personal management of His Majesty, Niangniang, if you go to talk about the unhealthy atmosphere of the Criminal Department, won't it be clear that your Majesty will be embarrassed?"
Moreover...
The prison has formed a fixed industrial chain.
From top to bottom, the number of officials involved in the Criminal Department is unimaginable, the system is extremely huge, and we have no evidence in hand, even if we sue His Majesty, there is nothing to make up. ”
Empress Dowager Chen was not stupid, she calmed down when she heard this, and asked with a slight frown: "Then what should I do?" ”
"We can't control the affairs of the Criminal Department."
Xu Boqing shook his head and said: "What they are trying to do is nothing more than money, three thousand two hundred taels of silver is not much, but it is not much, I want to find a way to get it..."
"Silver ......"
Empress Dowager Chen pondered for a while, Xiumei thought of something, and Feng Mu smiled and pulled Xu Boqing's hand, as if she wanted to pull him up from the bed.
"Little thief, get up quickly, my Cining Palace is not short of silver."
“……”
Xu Boqing saw that she had put on her nightgown and got up, so he also got up and put on his nightgown and followed.
Empress Dowager Chen searched for the head of Fenglu's bed and found three boxes the size of a human head...
When I opened the first box, it was filled with jewelry carved from warm and turquoise water, pearl jade, or agate jade.
Jeweled, extremely dazzling, the material and carving, the price of any piece of jewelry is far from ordinary gold and silver.
Then she opened the second box, and inside was a thick stack of silver and gold tickets...
When Empress Dowager Chen saw the third box, she didn't know what she thought, her cheeks were slightly hot, and she didn't mean to open it...
She explained: "Although the mourning family has lived in the deep palace for a long time, after all, they are still the queen mother, and the amount of money issued every year is not less than half a cent, and jade jewelry is often given.
Those gold and silver, except for the annual joint day to reward the people in the palace, the mourning family can't use it, and it takes up too much space, so Manager Huang has exchanged it for silver and gold tickets. ”
Empress Dowager Chen said and took out the thick stack of silver tickets, handed them to Xu Boqing, smiled and raised her neck, and said: "Well, for the sake of serving the mourning family so hard, these will be rewarded to you." ”
“……”
Xu Boqing glanced at the thick stack of silver and gold tickets, most of them were in the denomination of 1,000 taels, and there were also some 10,000 taels, adding up to no less than 200,000 taels!
After thinking about it carefully, Empress Dowager Chen has been living in Cining Palace for sixteen years, not counting before the queen, it seems completely reasonable to save these assets.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't have a 'rich woman' in his previous life, but his dream has come true in this life...
But......
The first box is for jewelry, and the second box is for small vaults, so what is in the third box?
"Little thank you for the reward~"
Xu Boqing responded with a smile, and did not shirk it, and after taking the stack of silver and gold tickets, he casually drew a few thousand taels of shares, and the others were stuffed back into the 'small treasury'.
"What are you doing back?"
"It doesn't take so much."
"That's... In the future, you will use it yourself. ”
"Row ......"
Xu Boqing nodded, closed the two boxes and put them back in their places, and when he touched the third box, he keenly noticed that the Queen Mother's face seemed to be a little unnatural.
He raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Niangniang, what is in this third box?" ”
"No... Nothing, just some everyday items. ”
Empress Dowager Chen's eyes were a little evasive, and her cheeks were slightly hot.
"Can I take a look?"
Xu Boqing wanted to open it as he spoke, but before he could open it, Empress Dowager Chen was like a kitten protecting food, and subconsciously wanted to snatch the box over.
"No, it's a mournful ......"
As a result, before she could finish speaking, her hand slipped, and the box also fell to the ground, falling out of a green Ruyi...
“……”
The two people at the head of the Fengqi bed were stunned in place.
And the beautiful face of the Empress Dowager Chen on the side turned red as if it was soaked in blood.
Xu Boqing chuckled, kicked the thing away carelessly, turned around behind her, and said softly: "I won't need that thing in the future..."
And Empress Dowager Chen also exclaimed, her center of gravity was also out of balance, and she could only hold her body steady with both hands at the head of Fengqiu's bed...
"You ......"
Just when the two of them were enjoying the warmth brought by each other, they suddenly heard the old lady outside shouting and singing: "Queen Zhang of Kunning Palace and Concubine Liu of Yongning Palace are visiting..."
When Empress Dowager Chen heard that Empress Zhang of Kunning Palace was visiting with Concubine Liu Guifei, her body softened, and she turned around as if begging for mercy to show a little grief...
"You... You... Get dressed..."
"Just say you're not feeling well, and you're not there."
"No, mourning... The mourning family asked them to come to enjoy the flowers today. ”
“……”
Xu Boqing also knew the priority of the matter, and after a quick teasing, he pulled away and left...
Seeing that the Queen Mother's body was weak and she was dressed neatly, he served her intimately after putting on her clothes.
Empress Dowager Chen hurriedly sat in front of the dresser, and after giving him a look, she said outside, "Come in." ”
