Although spring has begun, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the plum blossoms in the corner of the wall are blooming with frost and do not see decay. The north wind outside the window was blowing, and there was no finishing posture at all.

The cold spring in Beijing is not ordinary, and the cold wind penetrates everywhere and drills into people's bones. There is nothing else, and Concubine Hua doesn't want to go out to find guilt.

But no matter how lazy you are, you still have to deal with the official business that should be handled.

"After the porridge is served these days, it is also a headache. Shen Guiren's idea was quite feasible and saved a lot of silver. ”

"In the first few months, there are no days when there is no need to spend a lot of money, and this palace can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"When the silver arrives later, you don't have to live like this."

After Concubine Hua finished speaking, she also had the heart to taste the tea. There are many tea leaves in the palace, and there are many good teas, but she only likes Longjing before the rain.

I've been drinking it for so many years, and I've long been used to it.

(I used to drink a 1,000 yuan and a tael of pre-rain Longjing at a relative's house, and to be honest, it was no different from 50 yuan a pound of barley tea to me.) ）

Song Zhi said, "Niangniang has been working really hard these days, and the slaves and maids are distressed when they look at it. ”

"If you want the slave to say, these things should give the emperor a headache himself."

"Anyway, the birthday banquet is his birthday banquet, the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet is also his palace banquet, and the face is also his face, what does it have to do with you?"

Concubine Hua put down the teacup and changed to a comfortable position. Leaning on the kang, leaning on two boxy pillows, he picked up a jade roller made of green jade and rolled it on his face.

"This palace doesn't want to care, but it doesn't work. After all, the queen doesn't care about things now, and the harem is managed by the main palace. ”

"If he really loses face, he won't all blame it on Bengong, saying that Bengong is incompetent."

"At that time, there will be even more reason to divide the palace power, and let Shen Guiren and Jing Concubine share the worries of the palace."

"The palace will not give him this opportunity, even if the palace power will eventually be divided into a part, that part will also be determined by the palace."

Song Zhi nodded, "That's right, it's a pity that Jing Concubine and Shen Guiren are cheaper." ”

"But the mother has thought about it, which profit to give to the two of them?"

Concubine Hua said, "Of course, let the two of them take care of the Imperial Garden." ”

"Shen Guiren has a lot of ideas, so let her take care of the flowers and plants in the imperial garden first, as well as those rare and exotic beasts."

"As for Jing Concubine, I couldn't hold back a word for a long time before, and I didn't have any sense of existence. If it weren't for the fact that my mother's family was still competent, I wouldn't know where to stay in it. ”

"Let her be in charge of the buildings of the Qin'an Palace, Tianyimen, Qianqiu Pavilion and Wanchun Pavilion."

"Tell the two of them that they have just come into contact with palace affairs, so they will first manage the imperial garden and practice their hands. If anyone is really capable, this palace will naturally consider it at its discretion and arrange other things for them to manage. ”

"In this way, even if the emperor knows, he can't pick out the thorns in the palace."

Song Zhi complimented, "Niang Niang is wise, the slave maid can't think of so much." ”

"The Imperial Garden sounds good, and it has a little bit of oil and water, but compared to places like the Internal Affairs Office and the Imperial Dining Room, it's just bright on the face."

"Take it to Shen Guiren and Jing Concubine to practice hands, who doesn't say that the mother is generous."

"But I'm afraid I'll have to go to the garden less in the future, the slaves and maids are worried that they are in charge of the imperial garden, and if they have any bad intentions, I'm afraid it will be bad for the mother."

"After all, if Niangniang is really uncomfortable, the palace power will really fall into the hands of the two of them."

Concubine Hua said disdainfully, "The two of them have not been so bold as to dare to have any accidents in the Imperial Garden and the Palace." ”

"Speaking of which, if it were before, what kind of nobleman and mother would she want to assist in the Six Palaces?"

"This palace wants to help them take care of the cold palace!"

A cold light flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes, and then she quickly calmed down and continued,

"By the way, has the word gotten out?"

Song Zhi said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the palace must already know about it at this time." You are very dissatisfied with the favor of An Yu and Shen Guiren. ”

Concubine Hua smiled, "That's good, so that the emperor will think that this palace is still the same Concubine Hua as before, and our affairs can be much smoother." ”

"By the way, bring the account book, and the palace will have to calculate the accounts of the past few days."

"Yes."

As soon as Song Zhi put the account book in Concubine Hua's hand, Zhou Ninghai came in from outside.

"The slave sees Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an."

Concubine Hua flipped through the accounts in her hand and asked without raising her head, "Get up, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhou Ninghai said, "Back to Niangniang, just now Xiao Xiazi from the Heart Cultivation Palace came to pass the word, saying that the emperor said that Jin An promised to be always there, and the title was Jing." ”

"Listening to Xiao Xiazi, the emperor personally wrote a few of these titles, and let Jing Chang pick them by himself."

Concubine Hua raised her head, her brows moved, Chang was no different from the promise, they were all the lowest concubines.

It makes no difference whether you are promoted or not.

But how long did it take to give the title, and it was still written by Big Fat Orange and let her pick it herself.

The newcomers selected this time are really not ordinary.

"Bengong really underestimates her, a small family, but there are some means."

"Shen Guiren still hasn't had a serious title, just a surname. This is always there, but it comes from behind. ”

Song Zhi persuaded, "Don't be angry, she is from a humble background, she has no support from her mother's family, and the emperor is ......."

"If you don't have children, you are a nobleman. Such a person is only worthy of carrying shoes for you. ”

Concubine Hua glanced at Song Zhi, put the account book aside, and said calmly, "How many times have I said it, this palace will definitely not be angry about such a thing again." ”

"Jing Chang is favored again, and this palace doesn't care. What this palace cares about is whether they will ruin the affairs of this palace! ”

Zhou Ninghai said, "Quiet? ”

"She shouldn't be, she's just a rootless duckweed, where does she have the ability to spoil your business?"

Concubine Hua was still worried in her heart after all, before the dust settled, she couldn't rest assured of anyone.

"Maybe it's because this palace is too careful, she's really nothing."

"Let's see, after all, it hasn't been used before. The palace is worried that the emperor will only eat it once, so he can do it once and for all. ”

Zhou Ninghai asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Concubine Hua said, "You go and prepare some more, and when the emperor comes, put it in the diet." In this way, the main palace can rest assured. ”

Zhou Ninghai said, "Niangniang, it's easy to leak the news if you do too much of this kind of thing." The minions were also guarding against this, so they found a few middle-aged men with a group of children and quietly made some moves. ”

"Whether it is comprehensive or not, you just need to look at them, and there is no need to take the risk of giving the emperor medicine."

Concubine Hua smiled with satisfaction, "Zhou Ninghai, you have learned a lot smarter." ”

Zhou Ninghai suddenly laughed innocently, "The slave learned this skill by following the mother's side and hearing it." ”

Concubine Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's fine." ”

"By the way, let's see how things are ready. Tomorrow, Prince Zhuang Fujin sent the fifth elder brother into the palace, but don't make a mistake. ”
