Chapter 143: Busy
Even if everyone didn't talk to His Majesty directly, they tried their best to get his attention.
It is said that males in nature are full of tricks when they want to court, but now why not look at this woman who is full of harem?
Sleepless occasionally feels ridiculous, but it's not that they're ridiculous, it's that this era is ridiculous.
Locked up a group of women in this harem, watching them in all their tricks, begging a man to look back regardless of their dignity.
But how good can it be outside the walls of this palace?
There are many women who are locked up in square inches, and they can't do more. can only go around one man for the rest of his life.
How unfortunate.
"What's wrong with the Queen?" Ying Qionglou asked deliberately.
Sleepless gave him a very subtle look.
Ying Qionglou smiled, he felt that the morning was too much, and he still held a grudge after sleeplessness.
It's almost time to be safe, and Yingqionglou is leaving.
The crowd sitting below hurriedly got up to see him off.
When the emperor left, he said sleeplessly: "There are many things to do next, seeing that the weather is going to get warmer, and the people outside are going to farm." Everything is recovering. ”
"The queen mother has been tired for a while, and now this thing is also coming in waves. I have to spring ploughing and change clothes, and I am really busy. Jiang Zhaorong said.
"Yes, there are more people this year, so everything must be prepared in advance. Three more children have been added, and they cannot be ignored. If your sisters are promoted, you can't do it without it. Sleepless shook his head: "That's it, I asked the palace province to see the day, you haven't been promoted to the throne a year ago, choose a good day, just do it on the same day." ”
Anyway, the highest is Jieyu, there is nothing to say.
Everyone thanked her, and naturally there was nothing to say.
sent everyone away, and left Yimei alone without sleep.
"They are them, and your promotion ceremony will be taken out separately. Wait for a good day, yours and Xincai people will do it separately. "It's meritorious.
"Thank you, concubine, but even if you do it together, it's nothing, why bother with it. The concubine is not worth mentioning. "Yimei people are decent.
"Beauty is not worth mentioning, you have a chance to be promoted in the future. Don't worry, you're so well-behaved, can I miss you? ”
"It's all the grace of the queen's mother that there are concubines today. The concubine understands in her heart that the queen can rest assured, and the concubine will listen to the queen in the future. Even when the fifth prince is older, the concubine also taught him to remember the kindness of the queen mother. ”
"Alright, alright." Sleepless smiled and waved his hand: "Now that the child is still young, I don't dare to see it, you take care of it." Not to mention anything else, Your Majesty should go to see you in the next few days. She didn't have to say that she reminded her.
Yingqionglou just doesn't care about the Xu family, at least the child cares a lot, and he will go anyway.
Yimei people are naturally grateful.
As soon as they had gone, the people of the province of the temple arrived.
It's late February now, and in March, the furnishings in many parts of the harem will also be changed, and summer clothes and the like will be sent out one after another.
Another is that so many palace people and palace maids were sent out last year, and they will be added this year.
The palace is supplemented by a group of palace people, and they didn't all stuff it in last year, and they can't be everyone.
As for the palace maids, when the new batch of little palace maids entered the palace, they all had to be reviewed one by one.
Of course, this doesn't need to be done by Sleepless, but it also has to go through her hands.
Another thing is the spring ploughing ceremony on the first day of the third month, and His Majesty is going to take his courtiers and the queen to the suburbs to farm.
Since ancient times, emperors have valued farming, so this form must be followed.
For this purpose, the Needlework Bureau also made clothes for the queen and the people who were going to go out with him that day.
It must be coarse linen, why don't you go in gorgeous silk?
But what if you wear it to the nobles and masters, what if the coarse linen clothes scratch the skin?
That's why you need to add another layer of lining.
Anyway, it's just one word: trouble!
Finally, there is the spring reward.
Every spring, there is an unwritten rule that the harem women are rewarded at this time because they have spent too much money during the New Year.
Fortunately, now it is said that the harem was unsustainable when it was said to be the previous dynasty.
Because no one has been in charge, a dynasty has reached the end of the period, and there is everything.
The harem ladies had to collude with the palace people and the living guards to take out the things in the palace and sell them to survive.
This is also one of the many reasons for the collapse of the country in the previous dynasty, some people really can't get by, and some people just dig the foot of the wall. After all, if you pick out a piece of gold leaf in the palace, there are people who are willing to buy and sell it at a high price.
At that time, the emperor's personal belongings could be lost at any time.
At the beginning of this dynasty, this situation improved, and it was not until the time of the first emperor that there was this unwritten rule, that is, to reward once a year in February and March.
Let's make up for the New Year's shortfall.
After all, it costs money to leave the world.
Don't say it's a favor, it's just not a favor, and it's not easy to repeat your clothes during the New Year, and the things in the example are not enough, so don't you have to spend money? How can those who have low ranks and are not favored keep up?
When a concubine enters the palace and can't bring a large dowry like a queen, how much gold and silver can she bring from her mother's family?
The emperor was also embarrassed to ask his woman to spend his mother's money.
What's more, there are also the concubines of the first emperor. Many refer to those who live by various rewards throughout the year.
Therefore, this subsidy, some people are icing on the cake, and some people are really waiting.
However, there is no specific number, and the situation varies from year to year.
I was busy sleepless, and when it was noon, I was called by the geese: "Niangniang, it's time to eat." ”
The palace people and aunts in the palace province hurriedly got up: "The slaves and maids have delayed the maid's meal. ”
"It's okay, you can use some with me and continue when I'm done. Let's do this today, and save it in a few days. Sleepless waved his hand: "Yan Ming, ask someone to prepare a table for them, don't be in a hurry to eat, rest for a while, we'll see you in an hour and a half." ”
A few people hurriedly thanked Niangniang, and then followed Yanming.
Sleepless ate and slept for a while.
When I got up to comb my hair, I talked to Fei Su: "Twenty-seven is Concubine Xu's birthday, I forgot to ask Your Majesty last night, is it okay?" ”
"She's demoted this year, she must be too much, right?" Flying.
Sleepless snorted, thinking to herself, Concubine Xu at this time was only afraid that she was seeking stability.
Sure enough, when she asked sleepless the next morning, Concubine Xu took the initiative to say that the second prince was still recuperating now, and she was really not in the mood, so she was not in the mood for it.
Sleepless, so he only said that he would send a table of noodles when the time came.
That's it.
The day before the spring ploughing, the emperor came to Fengyi Palace.
He is also busy at these times, and he is in a hurry to deal with government affairs, most of which are also related to farming.
The climate in the south is warm, and there are many places with two seasons a year.
