Sun Miaoqing didn't care who the big fat orange was, she only knew that she finally didn't have to go to work today, so she cherished this rare holiday and was ready to lie down for a while.

On the other side of Jingren Palace, it was finally lively again. The queen bowed down to everything, took off her cloak with ice and snow for the big fat orange, and asked the stove to be moved closer to make the big fat orange warmer.

"On such a cold day, there is still snow outside, why does the emperor not care about his body at all. I didn't take a sedan chair, so I walked over directly. ”

"Go cook a bowl of ginger soup and bring it up."

"I'm not a porcelain doll, so there's no need to be so nervous. ”

"It's also comfortable to sit every day, and occasionally walk around like this."

The queen said, "The concubines are also concerned about chaos, you are the people, you must pay attention to your body." ”

Without saying a few words, Jian Qiu had already stepped forward with ginger soup, and the big fat orange took it and drank it all.

He hasn't come to the queen for some days, and it's the Halloween in two days, so he should come to Jingren Palace to sit and listen to some affairs of the harem during this time.

Big Fat Orange said, "It's Halloween in two days, I wonder how the queen is preparing?" ”

The queen said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubines are all ready according to your instructions." ”

"Now that the treasury is empty, although you must be frugal, it is the first time you have lived a long life since you ascended the throne. The longevity boundless, auspicious and festive porcelain specially fired for the birthday banquet totaled 15,000 pieces and cost 20,000 taels of silver. ”

"The fourth-class seats for the birthday banquet cost four taels and four cents of silver per table, and the total cost was twelve thousand taels."

"There are also flowers, silk, palace lamps, and charcoal fires for birthday feasts, which add up to 100,000 taels. and the silver for the soup with the people, and other expenses, all of which were all five hundred thousand taels. ”

"Your Majesty, look." The queen handed the ledger to Big Fat Orange.

(Most of the actual expenses in history are more than that, it is said that Guangxu's wedding cost more than 5 million taels, and Cixi's birthday cost more than 10 million taels, far beyond my imagination as a poor man!) ）

Da Tang was not calm at this time, the first emperor left him with eight million taels of silver, although this year's tax revenue has risen some, but it is necessary to maintain the operation of the imperial court, and also to prepare for possible disasters.

Enthronement is a sum of money, the draft is a sum of money, the 500,000 taels spent on the Wanshou Festival, and it will soon be the time for the New Year, how long can the eight million taels withstand the expenses!

can look at these expenditures, and understand that the queen is telling the truth, this year is the first year of his ascension to the throne, and he really can't save it.

It's just that after this time, we have to think about opening up sources and reducing expenditure, otherwise we don't have to live in the future.

Big Fat Orange said, "The queen has worked hard. ”

With the words of the big fat orange, the queen pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that the hard work of the past few months was not bitter at all.

"These are all things that a concubine should do, you are busy with government affairs every day, and the concubine can only share your worries in these places, hoping to give you a stable harem."

The big fat orange was extremely moved by the queen's words, and reached out to hold the queen's little hand, but she also understood in her heart that Concubine Hua was coquettish and capricious, as long as the Nian clan was still there, and there was someone behind her to support her, the harem would definitely not be clean.

Although the queen is virtuous, her health is not good, and her ability is not enough, so she can't suppress Concubine Hua, so she still has to push someone out to balance Concubine Hua.

Thinking of this, a lively and noisy person with different hearts and mouths appeared in the heart of the big fat orange. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but then he thought that she was afraid that she would not do what he thought.

Shen Meizhuang's gentle and dignified appearance appeared in his heart again, and he suddenly had a way, but there was no need to worry about this matter, Shilan was still sick, but he had been sick for too long.

The big fat orange said, "Concubine Hua has been sick for such a long time, and every time I go to visit, she is blocked by her and does not let me see. The doctor said that she has been better these days, but she doesn't know when she will get better. ”

Seeing him mention Concubine Hua, the smile on the queen's face became faint, but she also knew that on such an occasion, if Concubine Hua was not there, I don't know what strange rumors would spread, which would damage the royal face.

The queen said, "The concubine has already asked people to go to Yikun Palace to ask, saying that Concubine Hua's body is almost well, but she is very sick these days, and it is inevitable that she will be a little weak." ”

"The emperor's longevity is a big event, and Concubine Hua will definitely attend."

The big fat orange was satisfied, but he remembered that on the day of the draft, the show girl who looked very similar to Chunyuan seemed to have been sick for a long time.

"What about Wan Chang? I remember that she was sick as soon as she entered the palace, and she was not fully recovered? ”

The queen said, "The imperial doctor said that Guan Chang's condition recurred, and the previous symptoms were almost better, but in the cold winter, Guan Chang was blowing the wind, and he was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed at this time, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come out to congratulate the emperor on his birthday on the day of Wanshou Day." ”

frowned, why is this body so weak, just wait for her to raise it.

The big fat orange said, "Then let her recuperate in her own palace and wait until she is better." ”

The queen smiled and agreed, but she always felt uneasy in her heart, before Jianqiu, she secretly went to Broken Yuxuan to see it, and the things buried in the flower bed were gone.

This Guan is often cowardly, it is really timid, and smart is indeed smart. She doesn't want to come out, she is willing to die in the palace, and she is as she is.

Anyway, she has such a face, even if the matter is exposed, the emperor will not let her go to the cold palace, and it is easy to implicate her.

And although this Shen Guiren can bear it, she is not Concubine Hua's opponent, and when the opportunity arises, she will push out Guan Changzai. The river mussels competed, the fisherman profited, and she sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

When the queen thought of this, her eyebrows also stretched, thinking of the nobles of Fucha, who had come to her to serve every day in the past few days, and this was also a master who only had beauty and no brains.

She doesn't mind being promoted, people who serve the emperor only have beauty and no wisdom, which is the best advantage.

The queen said, "Although Guan Changzai is not well yet, among the new concubines who have entered the palace, the emperor has only been fortunate to be Cheng Guiren and Shen Guiren, who does the emperor want to wait for today?" ”

Big Fat Orange thought about it, but he didn't have any impression of the others, so he had to ask, "Who are the other ones?" ”

The queen said, "There are also the nobles of Fucha, Borzigit, Chun Chang, Xia Chang, and An promised. ”

When it comes to this Xia Changzai, the big fat orange has some impressions, among so many show girls, she is the most cheesy, if it wasn't for the queen mother, how could such a person be selected into the harem.

Big Fat Orange said, "This Xia is always here, I remember that she seems to have offended Concubine Hua, and I heard that she also hurt her face?" ”

Faced with the big fat orange's inquiry, the queen was a little embarrassed, she just said casually, and she forgot about this.

The queen said, "There is such a thing, but now that it has been raised, the scar on the face is extremely shallow, and it cannot be seen without looking carefully." After putting on the makeup, as before, I couldn't see anything. ”

"In the palace, it has always been forbidden to scold and not beat, and not to slap in the face. This is still the case for slaves and maids, and what the Xia family says is also a constant presence. ”

The big fat orange said, "Concubine Hua is indeed ......"

Although the queen said that Xia Chang's injury on his face was no longer in the way, the big fat orange was obviously not ready to force himself, so let's come according to his position first.

The big fat orange said, "Let's get rich tonight." ”
