The palace people below gradually reported the number of items withdrawn, and no matter how large or small, the palace maids were responsible for remembering them. Concubine Shu listened attentively, while rummaging through the account book in her hand, there was no problem, and she gave up.

There was a special female officer to watch these matters, but if she kept letting go, she didn't know if she asked her subordinates to deceive her. Therefore, I always have to take the time to take a look, and I also regulate the people below.

Concubine Jin Zunyu didn't know the price of folk prices, but she went out of the palace to inquire, broke some unclean hands and feet, and took advantage of the many chores to fish for oil and water.

But in this way, there are still unstoppable and crooked thoughts.

Ruan Yuyi sat upright, lowered her eyes and blew the floating leaves in the tea cup, and the heat gathered on her face. It seems to be careless, but in fact, it also listens to it.

The grandmother at the bottom had a stern complexion, and raised her voice to report, "The day before yesterday, I bought a total of 20 horses of silk, 40 taels, 10 catties of Liu'an melon slices, and 36 taels ......."

There are a few things that are not the same as in previous years.

Concubine Shu bowed slightly, "This palace knows, go down." After gathering her mind for a long time, she was also a little tired, and she bent her knuckles and pressed her eyebrows. But this is the last one.

The mother's face remained unchanged, and she was about to bow down. The door of the hall was wide open, and a cold wind swept in, Ruan Yuyi reached out and found that her neck was blown hot.

Looking at the back of the departing grandmother, she suddenly felt that something was not right, "Stay, Grandma." ”

The man's slightly leaning back obviously stiffened, and it took a while to turn around, "Jieyu still has other instructions?"

"What's wrong with my sister?" Concubine Shu asked slowly.

Due to the climate, the best tea leaves are mostly produced in Southern Province. But this year's climate is different, in the spring even fell for more than half a month of rain, the tea leaves are poured out, although the aroma is not as good as in previous years, but it is scarce and expensive for a while, and the price has risen extremely high.

This Lu'an melon slice is a kind of spring tea.

When A-Niang chatted with her, she also mentioned it. Even if it is a newly purchased tea this year, how can the price remain the same?

Ruan Yuyi got up and put this reason with Concubine Shu one by one, and at the end, she glanced at the grandmother and said lightly, "Niangniang is afraid that she will really have to ask questions, but she can't sell them cheaply because it is for the palace." ”

The heavenly family is rich, and it is too late for those businessmen to raise the price.

"This slave doesn't know ......" The corner of the mother's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and she caught a glimpse of the concubine's unkind face, her lips trembled, and she couldn't understand a word, she just kept repeating, "Niang Niang Mingjian ......"

With such a little dial, Concubine Shu still didn't understand the secret, and sneered, "What are you learning?" How much of this account is fraudulent? ”

Her voice was clear, extremely stern and majestic, and it filled this huge hall, and there was not a single cough in the hall. The palace people all held their breath, for fear of suffering from the pond fish.

Ruan Yuyi leaned back silently, and picked up the teacup again, but instead of having a dry mouth, she was looking for something to do for herself.

The grandmother below trembled, and when she saw that she couldn't shirk it, she hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. The muffled sound echoed, and it was a little frightening.

Concubine Shu frowned and looked at Ruan Yuyi, "It's just that if there is a greedy silver tael in it, how can this expense be less, is it-" She suddenly remembered something.

"It's exactly what Niangniang expected, they may have used the old tea in the palace to perfunctory." She said.

What was found was only tea, but what was not found behind it, and what kind of money should it be.

The mother panicked, broke her forehead and didn't know the pain, but she continued. Blood meandered down, around the bridge of her nose, and seeped into the corners of Mama's mouth.

She looked a little frightened and lowered her eyelashes.

Look at this grandmother's appearance, she is afraid of death. So she deliberately said, "This is not the first time I have done this." What is the mother going to do with it? ”

She added, "If you give thirty canes as an example, those who want to come to the filth will not dare to do this next time, so as to avoid the effort of the mother to interrogate again." Her voice was as soft as a clear spring over a stone, but it made the grandmother frightened.

Mama didn't know what the benefits were, so she planned to keep her mouth shut. After Ruan Yuyi said this, she really hurriedly opened her mouth, for fear that if she said it a moment later, she would really be dragged out, "Niangniang spares her life, just a slave and a maid, where can she commit this thing, she should have been discovered a long time ago......"

Then she recruited all the people who were greedy for money together.

In fact, the silver money that was approved for purchase was exploited at the top, and there was not much left of her greed.

She relied on Concubine Shu's trust and asked her to inquire about the price of private prices, which became an important part of the oil and water above. The top talent gave her more, and coerced her to take the risk and continue to do things.

But with a lot of money, it's useless to spend it. Where did she dare to hide it.

The negligence of this tea price alone involved a long list of people involved. This happened under Concubine Shu's hands, and the new emperor was afraid that he would also be punished, so her face was not good-looking.

Those who should be dismissed, those who should be punished, the concubines have taken care of them one by one.

The atmosphere in the hall is stagnant, the palace people look at their noses and noses, and everyone is in danger. The little palace maid who added tea had just been transferred to do things, when she had seen the scene, her hands trembled, and for a while, the teapot in her hand fell, and the splashed tea slightly wet Ruan Yuyi's embroidered shoes.

The palace maid's face turned pale, and she knelt down.

She moved her foot away slightly, avoiding the tea that was still spreading, and said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, and then said, "Go and find a towel and a broom, and clean up this place." ”

Mu Xiang stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Gongwen's hand, and she was willing to get up and leave.

Seeing that it was someone from her palace, Concubine Shu was also a little unbearable, and said slowly, "This maid is clumsy, my sister should not be surprised." There are a few snails here in the palace, and my sister took them when she left, and she was shocked. ”

She originally thought that this Ruan Jieyu was just a fox who was used to makeup, and the master who was happy with the new emperor, but she didn't want to be actually a golden jade, so she was willing to look at it at this time.

Ruan Yuyi didn't care about these either, because the words she said were also flattering, "The concubine doesn't want the snail Dai in my sister's palace, the lotus crisp last time was good." ”

This is true, the shape of the lotus crisp is beautiful, the entrance is crispy and sweet, and it is inevitable to work hard to make it like this.

Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her complexion was even more ambiguous. The eyes are like fine stars, moist and tight, and they are extremely pleasing.

Rao is Concubine Shu's heart also softened, and she said softly, "Then Ming'er will send it to my sister." She never thought that someone could be so concerned about the pastries she sent at random.

only one sentence, but it poked straight into Concubine Shu's heart. There was a sour look in her eyes.

Looking at her mother, she should have been the closest person, but she forced her to fight for power and profit, and she never glanced at this lotus cake, and even the only thoughtful word she asked for.

There are only five or six palace concubines in this palace, and she can't even sit in half of the hall, she has reached the concubine position, and she doesn't understand what else to fight for, even-

She glanced at the inner room, where on the mirror stand, in the makeup, there was still the medicine given by the Rong family.

He did not hesitate to use such despicable means.

"If my sister is willing to come to this Chonghua Palace," added the concubine, "this pastry is always prepared for you." ”

Ruan Yuyi thanked herself.
