The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 38 Make It Bigger

Ask yourself how do you want to be punished?

Lu Wanlan had never seen such an unreasonable request.

She knew in her heart that apart from executing that Xianggu, the Queen Mother only treated Ronggui and the respect room lightly.He obviously wanted to push the greater blame to himself, but he didn't want to leave anything to say.

At this time, if he answered how he wanted to be punished, he would have fallen into the trap of the Queen Mother.

It doesn't matter if Xianggu is an ordinary person, but she is a Confucian scholar who has contacts with the Duan family.If it spreads out afterwards, the poor family forces headed by Duan Lin will definitely attack the Lu family.

This is an unsolvable question, and no answer is a big pit.

Looking at the concubines around them with a smile on their faces, Lu Wanlan sneered inwardly.

After watching the play for so long, it's time to pay.

She didn't mind, making things bigger.

So he dipped his temples with a handkerchief, pretending to be panicked, and lowered his head to let the maid help him to the Empress Dowager.

When he raised his head again, the empress dowager's eyes twitched instantly with a heartbroken expression on his face.

Want this set again?
"Don't think that if you cry and make a fuss, Aijia won't pursue it!" The queen mother was already numb to these things, and only replied, "If you are not punished, how can you remember this lesson?"

lesson?

These words hit Lu Wanlan's heart, she immediately changed her sincere eyes and said smoothly:

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true, and the concubine also thinks the same. If it's just a punishment and confinement, what's the point of returning to the same old way after a few days? The concubine feels that it is necessary to punish severely."

How could the Empress Dowager not know that this Lu Wanlan was talking about him from left to right, and was just thinking about how to answer the conversation.

But Wang Xueru heard something else: she was mocking herself for not remembering to eat and not to beat, and she wanted to coax the mother to teach her a lesson?

As soon as he spoke quickly, the words in his heart blurted out: "You are talking about it, why is there a heavy punishment?"

Lu Wanlan raised her head, with an expression of concern for the country and the people between her brows, and slowly stated:
"The concubine has long heard from my brother Yun Li that the Holy Majesty has always wanted to increase the tuition fees of the chief secretary colleges. However, these years, natural disasters have continued, the borders have been unstable, and the treasury has been exhausted. Although the concubine is a daughter, she has always respected the Holy Majesty. Cherish talent and love talent.”

"Now, because of my brother's fault, I understand that it is not easy for students from poor families. The concubine feels that she should do her part to recruit wise men for the Holy One. So I am willing to ask the Empress Dowager for permission to let the Lu family offer 20 taels of silver to the Holy One to relieve my worries."

The Empress Dowager looked at Lu Wanlan with sharp eyes, which seemed to burn a hole in her body, but she lowered her eyes and bent down, her posture was already low in the dust.

School tuition money?God knows, where did the emperor mention half a word!

The concubines present here don't know, and the servants don't know.

Duan Xinglang, on the other hand, always hears his father sighing at home, there are many people with lofty ideals in the poor countryside, but because of the difficulties at home, he can't afford to go to college or hire a teacher.His old man has suggested many times to increase the tuition money of the academy to train poor students, but the Holy One has always ignored it.

Unexpectedly, the little girl Princess Yan has such vision and courage.

Although the Empress Dowager was annoyed that Lu Wanlan was talking to herself, regardless of how long the white money would have to be levied in taxes, the emperor must wear the high hat of valuing poor students.

After all, it has only been a few decades since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the officials in the DPRK are from aristocratic families, and a single move can affect the whole body, but a direct minister like Duan Lin who has no background is extremely rare.

And she downplayed the instability across the border, as if to remind herself that the Lu family still had a great general serving the country.

20 taels is not a small amount.

It seems to be receiving a punishment, but it is actually a win over and even a threat.

The queen mother is far-sighted, how can she not understand the implication?Anger was hidden in his chest, but he couldn't reprimand in public. After all, the emperor had been dragged into the water, and now he could only take advantage of the situation to go down this level.

"You really know your mistakes. In this way, the Ai family should reward you, how can they punish you?"

Lu Wanlan applied Shi Ranfu again and said:

"The empress dowager is absurd. The majesty of the heavenly family is both punishment and reward. It is the great fortune of the concubines to do their best for the country. It's just that the Lu family's ability is limited, and it may not last long. Presumably, the empresses of the palaces and mother's family will definitely give their money. Help."

Hearing these words, Concubine Shu was very happy. There is a saying that money can make ghosts pervert. She originally thought that this daughter-in-law was just relying on her own money to take advantage of her.

Unexpectedly, she was actually a ghost, and she let her say all the good and bad things, and obliquely tricked a room full of performers, audiences, front and back palaces into everything.

The situation has reached this point, if no one is willing to stand up, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for Wang Osmanthus?

The concubine, who had nothing to do with her in the house, suddenly looked bewildered.

It was good to watch the fire from the other side, but why, the fire actually burned on my own head?
Seeing the Empress Dowager's eyes passing over her one by one, all the concubines were fidgeting: 20 taels!How much is your monthly salary?
But at this moment, a figure on the right side of the queen mother slowly got up, and it was Xie Minmin who stepped forward:
"The concubine is not talented, and I am willing to be the master of Xie's family. I will offer 20 taels of silver to share the worries of the Holy One."

After saying this, the other concubines had plans in their minds. How could they have thought that Xie Minmin was trying to win over the poor family for the Xie family, they only knew that she was showing off in front of the Queen Mother at this time.

Even if they can't get the money, they still have to make some gestures, and they all knelt down and said: "The ministers are willing to do their best."

.

Xiao Yanzhi, who had been waiting outside the palace gate, was taking an oiled paper bag from Tang Feng and putting it beside him.

Originally, he wanted to wait until Yinshi opened the palace gate, and then take Dowager Shu and Lu Wanlan back to the palace.

Unexpectedly, before the midnight, the palace gate of the key was opened again?
Looking through the curtain of the carriage, he saw that Concubine Shu got into the carriage first.

Just as Lu Wanlan was about to go up, she was stopped by the man behind him who was leaving the palace together.

"King, princess..."

Duan Xinglang's face was flushed at this moment, and he was thinking about how to apologize to Lu Wanlan about the canonization ceremony all the way out of the palace, but he didn't want to open his mouth and stuttered.

Lu Wanlan turned around, raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter, Mr. Duan?"

"Oh, Weichen, Weichen and Ling brother Yunli are classmates." As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted in his heart, what did he say!

"Ah? Oh, it turns out that's the case, and I would like to thank you for speaking out with righteousness today."

"You're welcome... you're welcome, I'd like to thank Princess Wang for her generosity today..."

Duan Xinglang was about to pave the way for his apology, but he saw a tall guard with a fierce face approaching, and saluted Lu Wanlan:

"My lord, the lord has been waiting outside the palace gate, and specially took the wangfei back to the mansion."

"The lord is here?" Hearing Tang Feng's words, Lu Wanlan's eyes instantly lit up, and she only replied to Duan Xinglang, "I will take my leave first." Then she walked towards the carriage of King Yan.

It was the prince's guard who gave him a hard look.

It wasn't until the carriage gradually went away that Duan Xinglang smiled to himself.

From the first glimpse of the Dingguo Mansion that day, the blue figure of this girl has been in his mind for a long time, and he can't get rid of it for a long time.

Fortunately, there was no apology. If she knew that when he read the imperial edict, he ran away in a nervous sweat, she would definitely laugh at him for being superficial.

Maybe she was worrying too much, she never remembered him.

Lu Wanlan in the carriage seemed quite excited, but when he thought of the red handkerchief, he twitched again: "I didn't expect that the prince would actually help my concubine, is it because I don't want my concubine to be made fun of?"

"The princess thinks too much."

"My lord is always duplicity, in fact..." Lu Wanlan lowered her head to hide the snickering at the corner of her mouth, "I want to see the truth..."

Xiao Yanzhi watched coldly, the villain in front of him switched back and forth shyly and domineeringly, unexpectedly he was capricious.

No wonder he was messed up by her the day before yesterday, he knew that Lu Wanlan was clever, but he didn't want to be so thick-skinned!

"This king doesn't know that this Duan Xinglang is really the face that the princess wants to choose?"

"My lord doesn't know?" Lu Wanlan leaned forward and laughed, "Isn't your lord just using him as an excuse for pretending to be sick?"

Seemingly irritated by this fox-like smile again, Xiao Yanzhi grabbed her little hand waving in front of him.

Holding Lu Wanlan in his arms, there was a hint of anger hidden in his tone:

"Cooperating with this king, the princess still adopts the method of charm."
