Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 21
In the past few days, the atmosphere in the harem seems to be somewhat different.

"Master Master, the sun is coming out from the west!" Xiaoqing happily ran into the Canglan Courtyard, shouting as she ran.

Lotus was using bamboo clips to turn over the buds of dead wood tea piece by piece. Hearing this, she looked up at the direction where the person was running, and said, "Hey, Xiaoqing, are you crazy? The sun is already in the middle of the sky, why did it come out? ?"

"No, no," Xiaoqing ran to Lianhua, took a few breaths, and then said, "Little Master, have you forgotten? You said at the beginning that if Shanggong Bureau can pay a full monthly salary, unless the sun hits the west come out."

Lotus stood up excitedly: "Ah, did you get the full amount of Moon Silver today? Let me take a look."

"Yeah, it's a full twelve taels, a lot of money, you see it's all here!"

Lianhua took the purse, felt the heavy weight, and sighed contentedly: "It really is the sun coming out from the west, and in my lifetime, the Shang Palace Bureau will finally find out its conscience."

As early as when he heard Xiaoqing's voice, Xiaojizi came over, holding his chin in his right hand thoughtfully.

Lianhua took out two pieces of silver from the purse, and said proudly to the two of them: "Xiaoqing Xiaojizi, from now on you have the moon silver, and the master can't forget you when you get rich. Take it, take it all."

Xiaoqing happily took over the silver, and was so excited that she had been in the palace for more than two years, and finally had Yueyin.

Speaking of which, Xiaoqing was so sad that she followed Lotus within a few days of entering the palace, while the servants and servants of other palaces were all given moon silver and rewards by the master, but the lotus alone could not be sent out. Struggling up and down, where can I get it out?

"Xiao Jizi, why are you looking like that, aren't you happy?" Xiaoqing asked suspiciously, looking at Xiaojizi's silence.

Xiaojizi grabbed Xiaoqing's hand and didn't answer her question: "Xiaoqing, when you went to receive your monthly salary today, did you notice anything different from the past? For example, is the expression of the eunuch paying the salary any different?"

Xiaoqing recalled for a moment: "No, I didn't find anything wrong. The eunuch who paid a salary was very kind today. Let me take a little bit, and then go."

"That's it!" Xiao Jizi said decisively with a slap on the thigh.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with this?" Lotus looked at Xiao Jizi suspiciously, not understanding what he was talking about.

Xiaojizi took a step back, bowed to the lotus and said, "Reporting to the master, the servant has found that something is not right in the palace recently. When the servant went to the imperial kitchen to get the ingredients, the servants and servants of the palaces were much less than usual, and all of them were doing their best. Hastily, looking nervous, the minions are suspicious..."

As he approached the two of them, his voice lowered a lot: "The servant suspects that something big is going to happen in the palace, but we live in a corner and received the news late. Now that we don't know the situation, we should close the door first and go out less for the sake of it. wonderful."

After listening to Lianhua, she thought about it carefully. Recently, the atmosphere in the palace is indeed wrong. The eunuch in the imperial garden who is in charge of the garden often sees himself as a dead mother, so he said a few words to her, begging for mercy. , Don't be rude, but I've seen myself recently, but my expression has changed, and I ran away without waiting for me to get close.

In addition, the elder sisters of the palaces are hardly seen hanging out, and in the past, I could occasionally encounter one or two.

Hmm...that's not quite right.

After thinking about this, Lianhua Xia decided: "Okay, let's listen to Xiaojizi. Xiaojizi, today you go to the imperial kitchen to get some more meat and put it in the well to be kept in the well, and we won't go out in the next few days." I don't know, it's better to go first.

"Hey, the servant will go now." After speaking, Xiao Jizi ran out of the Canglan Courtyard in a hurry.

The situation in the palace is getting more and more serious. There are rumors that it is Long Live the Concubine Checha Kekou concubine and the palace servant Yueyin Yiyi. Some people are frightened, and some people applaud.

No one knows why Long Live Lord suddenly wants to thoroughly investigate this matter. After all, the deduction of palace shares has become an unspoken rule no matter whether it was in the previous dynasty or the dynasty. Besides, it is much better now than the previous emperor's time. As long as it is not excessive, everyone will not. will say anything.

I don't know who made the complaint, all the palaces are secretly guessing.

The three of Lianhua and Xiaoqing huddled in Canglan Courtyard, looking like they were indifferent to the world, but they were calm.

For this matter, Lianhua has some vague guesses. That night, she seemed to have inadvertently mentioned the deduction to Mr. Long live. Could it be related to her?
But when I think about how it is possible that Lord Long live because of her, I figured it out, it's definitely not her.

However, it seems that she can't tell other people about the deduction when she mentioned it to Long Live. She said that it may be the target of public criticism if it is leaked. She understands the importance of it.

After a few days, the situation gradually became clear. Several eunuchs and the general manager of the Shang Palace Bureau were fired and sent to prison. Together with Wei Jieyu, they were also sent to prison. I heard that punishment was used. It was the harem in recent years. biggest case.

There was an uproar in the harem, and it was thought that the slaves were doing the trick, but it turned out that there were also concubines involved.

The low-level concubines and low-level servants applauded, all of them rejoicing, the person who deducted the monthly salary was arrested, and they will be able to get the full amount of money in the future.

There are also people who don't believe that a Jieyu dares to commit such a big thing, there must be a mystery behind it, this Jieyu is just a scapegoat.

In general, some people are happy and some are worried.

　No matter how clear the water is, there is a turbid side. The emperor's harem is a thousand times better than that of the first emperor. Unfortunately, there are still rotten fish and rotten shrimp. If there are no disputes in the harem, it will not be a harem.

　　But our Lord Long Live, will protect the lotus.
