Chapter 30: Piles of Ledgers
After the meal, the palace maid served the dragon well before the rain.
Lin Yuewan took a sip, closed her eyes and slowly tasted the fragrance of tea, and praised softly, "The tea taste is slightly bitter and sweet, and it will not disperse for a long time. ”
Seeing Lin Yuewan's intoxicated appearance, Su Qian frowned, and took a sip of it, okay, forgive her for being a rough person, it's really difficult to taste other tricks in the tea.
Lin Yuewan pinched the handkerchief, covered her lips and smiled, her eyes emitting a faint streamer.
"The emperor loves my sister, since everything is good, I have brought it to Fengyi Palace, and my sister is here in the harem, and I can drink such an authentic Longjing before the rain."
Su Qian played with the teacup and said in a natural tone: "This palace is classified as the queen, and there are more things in the palace, if there are no things in Fengyi Palace, and there are other concubines in the palace, then it is called rare, it can be seen that the cart is turned upside down, and I don't know the severity." ”
Lin Yuewan's face stiffened slightly, and the corners of her mouth pulled up in agreement, "What Sister Queen said is extremely true. ”
Eating with the meal, tasting the tea with the accompaniment, Lin Yuewan went around for a long time, and finally got down to business.
"When the concubine came, she put it in the box in the outer hall, which contained all the accounts of the harem in the four years since the emperor ascended the throne, including expenses, and my sister checked them."
"Since the queen's sister is in charge of the phoenix seal for the first time, the concubine suggests that you take a closer look at the details of the past account books, if there is anything wrong, you can call your sister over, and your sister will be at your disposal at any time."
Lin Yuewan smiled decently, behaved generously, and spoke in a calm and gentle tone, without the slightest dissatisfaction after her sister was sent down and seized power.
She knew in her heart that the dispute with the queen could not be taken into account of temporary gains and losses, and the queen mother's aunt also told her that since she couldn't fight with the queen, she would first keep her head and avoid her edge for a while.
This harem is the most ruthless and jealous woman, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, she might as well watch from the wall and wait to watch the play.
Su Qian's eyes drifted to the outer hall, and when she saw the four camphor wood boxes, her left eye jumped up uncontrollably, but she didn't expect it to be an account book, she suddenly felt that one head and two were big, and she wanted to cry without tears.
Su Qian asked hesitantly, "The emperor never allocates money for these expenses in the harem, so where did he get so many account books?" ”
"Sister Queen, don't you know?"
Lin Yuewan pretended to be surprised, and then explained them one by one.
"The harem sisters' mother's family will subsidize the silver every month, and they must be checked in the public account, and according to the quantity, they will take an additional 20% to pay the silver tax to the treasury, and over time this account will naturally increase."
Su Qian's family has never sent silver money to the palace, no wonder she is not clear that there is such a process, but she is a liberal arts graduate of the Department of History and Chinese.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, Su Qian can only persuade himself, but he will just look at the account book in the future, compared to the previous days when he was hungry and worried, it is simply a fairy day.
"By the way, Sister Queen has one more thing, the envoy of Shenbi Kingdom came to visit three days later, because it was decided seven days ago, so the concubine had prepared the state banquet earlier, and it was written here."
Lin Yuewan took out a booklet from her sleeve, opened it and pushed it in front of Su Qian, "There are still three days, if the queen's sister feels that there is a need to add something, it is still too late to order it to go down." ”
Shen Bi country!
Su Qian's heart tightened, his face became solemn, the envoys of Shen Bi Kingdom came to visit, I didn't expect the progress in the book to be so fast, the demon girl who caused the territory of the Jokhang Dynasty to fall apart, the brothers were on the wall, and the world was condemned and criticized, is about to appear.
Although Shenbi Country is an extremely inconspicuous small country on the map, there is a mountain range that runs through the whole territory, which is worshiped by Shenbi Country as the existence of the dragon vein, hidden under the chaotic stones, is a priceless jade, almost inexhaustible, inexhaustible.
Because of its extremely high jade production, it has attracted the covetousness of many surrounding large countries, and for the big countries, Shenbi is a lamb to be slaughtered.
Shen Biguo knows better that Pifu is innocent and guilty, and his own country is small and weak, so he chooses to rely on Zhaoguo, the strongest of the big countries, and pays tribute to jade every year in exchange for protection.
And this time, the envoys came, in addition to the tribute that must be paid every year, and also brought the princess of Shenbi Kingdom.
The lord of Shen Bi believed that the current emperor of Zhao was moody, killed excessively, and fought with a large number of troops, and in order to consolidate the unbreakable relationship between the two countries, he tried his best to promote a marriage and tie the good of Qin and Jin.
This princess is the real heroine in the book, she can be called a stunning stunner, but she is also a demon, she is dressed in red and danced with sleeves, silk and bamboo songs, orchid fingers flipped, a smile and a smile, and there are white bones under her feet.
When the book reaches the finale, the male protagonist takes the throne from the hands of the great tyrant and becomes the new emperor of Zhaoguo.
And the heroine has grown step by step from an unfavored princess of a small country to a queen of Jokhang.
Thinking of the scene of the tragic death of the great tyrant at the end of the book, Su Qian's heart suddenly felt panicked, and he felt a dull pain.
"Why doesn't Sister Queen speak? But where does the body feel uncomfortable? ”
Seeing that the queen was stunned for a long time, Lin Yuewan asked with concern.
Su Qian came back to his senses, nodded wiltedly, and reluctantly said, "It's okay, the palace is just lacking." ”
It's such an obvious eviction order, Lin Yuewan smiled and got up with interest, "It's not early, the concubine won't bother the queen's sister, and retire first." ”
Su Qian pretended to be something, didn't get up, and waved his hand as if he had sent it over.
On the palace road.
It was already completely dark, and it was getting colder.
Qing He took off the cloak in the crook of his arm and put it on Lin Yuewan's body, and suddenly dispelled a lot of chills.
Several palace people carried four-corner palace lamps in front of them to illuminate the road ahead.
"Master, the queen really doesn't take you seriously."
Qinghe, as a personal maid who has followed the master since the Prime Minister's Mansion, is the first time to see someone who dares to snub his master except for the emperor, and he can't help but be indignant.
If you want to have a family background without a family background, if you want a background without a background, you can win the emperor with a face, and then dare to hold up the queen's shelf and override the master?
"The queen mother is planning to kick the fourth lady out of the palace and show off her might......"
"Qinghe."
Lin Yuewan's tone was slightly heavier and interrupted Qing He's words, and she looked at her helplessly, this girl has been by her side for so long, and she is still so reckless and unproportionate.
"She is the queen after all, this palace is a noble concubine in the end, even if she presses her head, this palace has to bear it."
Lin Yuewan gathered the cloak on her body and lowered her eyes.
Thinking of her sister, the anger in her heart is still hard to quench, she has a good skin, but she is really stupid, she has not played any role since entering the palace, not to mention, and she has shamed the family.
Originally, it didn't bother her with anything, but the emperor took this opportunity to take away the phoenix seal in her hand and give it to the queen, losing the power of the harem, and it will become more difficult to plan something with the queen mother's aunt for Brother Ling in the future.
Sister, you're damned.
"Qinghe, you help this palace pass a message to your father, you can't ruin the reputation of all the Lin family's daughters just because of one person, let him make a choice in his heart."
Lin Yuewan lowered her eyes to hide the ruthlessness in her eyes, but she wanted to see if her father would continue to indulge his favorite little daughter as always.
