Delicate green plum dressed as the little emperor of green tea

Chapter 343

They didn't go far, but just left the main hall of Fengluan Palace.

Qi Ru's questioning voice was a bit loud, and the concubines could still hear some vague conversations.

Then they heard Lu Zhan's usual warm voice reply: "Of course it's because you are too popular, and you will be punished by others with jealousy. I have to pretend to alienate you. I do this for your own good."

Qi Ru saw some truth in Lu Zhan's usually gentle eyes, and it was easy to believe what Lu Zhan said.

Only then did he leave happily.

Many concubines looked at each other in blank dismay, and the high-ranking concubines who had a good relationship with Zhen Baozhu couldn't help looking at Zhen Baozhu with pity.

He felt that this girl was so pitiful that she was actually used by the new emperor as a shield for Qi Changzai.

As for the concubines who had a feud with Zhen Baozhu, such as Shen Yu, her mind became active and she wanted to take revenge on Zhen Baozhu.

It's just that there are too many people at the moment, so it's hard to do anything.

Empress Shen glanced over the concubines below one by one, and finally fixed on Shen Yu's face.

Shen Yu is the same age as her, but Shen Yue never likes to have too much contact with this younger sister, because she thinks Shen Yu is too stupid.

Never thought of entering the palace, Shen Yu is still so stupid.

What Shen Yu wants to do can be seen from her eyes.

But Shen Yue didn't want to remind Shen Yu either.

She admired Xindi a little.

There is no doubt that the new emperor loves Zhen Baozhu, but the new emperor does not want Zhen Baozhu to be the target of public criticism, but he can't bear to deal with Qi Ru.

Actually came up with such a way.

So, the nonsense that a man loves you is the only way to alienate you is to deceive an arrogant and stupid woman like Qi Ru.

If a man really loves you, he will never want to stay with another woman for a moment.

Shen Yue withdrew her gaze and talked about donating money.

All the high-ranking concubines were generous, especially Zhen Baozhu, who donated all her small coffers.

On the eve of entering the palace, several aunts feel sorry for Zhen Baozhu, saying that there are ways to spend money everywhere in the palace, and they just gave Baozhu a lot of property.

Baozhu doesn't know how to run a property, and several aunts run it for her, and distribute the dividends to her every year.

When everyone looked at Baozhu's small treasury, they couldn't help being speechless.

Xiehou Mansion is really rich!

Zhen Baozhu is really rich!

With these people as examples, the low-ranking concubines must also show their performance.

In just three days, Empress Shen collected about 20 taels of silver.

The harem set such an example, the ministers always pretended to be gentlemen, and they couldn't lose to a few little girls.

With Liang Hou on the sidelines to supervise, there will be money for disaster relief.

Zhang Yuan is dedicated to his work, and he handles the disaster relief work beautifully.

Although the new emperor is not in charge, but because of this incident, he is quite prestigious.

And because of the recent turmoil in the country, the new emperor canceled all banquets, large and small, in the palace, which won the praise of his subjects.

This made the regent feel a sense of crisis, and discussed with Shen Guogong in private, saying that the new emperor could not stay.

The two are preparing to surprise the new emperor when the new emperor reaches the crown.

The new emperor knew that in this matter, the concubines in the harem gave him a lot of support.

He also knows that these concubines in his harem are all capable people, and if they live in the harem, it would be too useless.

He gave the high-ranking concubines a lot of freedom, and he supported them in whatever they wanted.

This made the concubines more active.

Especially Liang Guifei, she tasted the sweetness of making money, and wanted to earn more sweetness.

The main reason is that the source of tourists in the palace is really limited.

At this moment, Zhen Baozhu boldly encouraged her: "Since brother Zhan has let us do what we want to do, sister Guifei has such a good cooking skill, so we can't let it go to waste."

"I'm not afraid of failure. If you fail, you will still be a noble concubine, and you can still receive a salary!"

Concubine Liang felt the same way, so she acted boldly.

But she didn't do it alone, she pulled in Empress Shen, Concubine Yaxian, Concubine Rongde, Concubine Yaxian, and Concubine Liang Shu.

This is also the idea that Zhen Baozhu came up with, called risk diversification.

Especially since they donated all their money earlier, the money they can use now is limited.

But it's different when everyone puts it together.

The few women are in a hurry, and they do things simply and neatly.

Except for Empress Shen, the other concubines would often dress up as ordinary people and go out of the palace to run restaurants.

Gradually, the business is doing well and has some reputation.

They never get tired of it, but feel that the position of concubine is simply a drag.

A year later, the new emperor will be crowned, and the crowning ceremony will be performed according to the law, and the new emperor will be able to govern in person.

When it comes to personal governance, these concubines have long been different from the past. They have broken away from the checks and balances of the family and started to think for themselves.

Xindi encourages them to be themselves and gives them freedom.

These are things that the family cannot give them.

In their hearts, they even hoped that the new emperor would soon be in charge.

It's a pity that their power is limited, and the regent will not allow the new emperor to govern so easily, and there is still a fierce battle to be fought.

On the day when the new emperor was crowned, the empress dowager, who had always been ignorant of common matters, also attended and crowned the new emperor in person.

The haze of the country faded away, and it was full of singing and dancing.

Sitting together with the emperor and empress, Empress Shen had a gentle and calm face. She poured wine for the new emperor herself, and said to the new emperor in a low voice: "Father has arranged a manpower outside, and asked me to invite the emperor to go out, and I want to lay hands on the emperor."

"I'll leave this matter to Mr. Shen."

The new emperor nodded and said: "I understand, thank you queen."

Empress Shen said: "It's too polite to say thank you, I am your queen, and I will be as prosperous as you are and as bad as you are."

The new emperor did not have any children, so if someone assassinated him, the regent would definitely take over.

At that time, her position as queen will be extremely embarrassing.

She has never been a person who would sacrifice her own interests for the interests of the family.

After a while, Shen Guiren who was sitting under Empress Shen really took the initiative to pour tea for the new emperor.

"Look, the emperor is drunk, why don't you go out and get some air."

Lu Zhan also pretended to be intoxicated, and said "Okay" slowly. On the way out with Shen Guiren, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and passed out.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly said: "Quickly ask the imperial physician to take down Guiren Shen!"

Shen Yu was stunned, seeing people coming and going around her, she herself was taken down.

As a suspect, Shen Guiren was ordered to reveal the person behind the scenes.

Rong Guogong, who was killed by the former Concubine Shen and now the Empress Dowager Shen, said frankly: "Shen Guiren is the emperor's concubine, and the emperor treats her well. She was named a nobleman when she first entered the palace. No one else has this honor. If the family asks, I'm afraid they won't do such a thing, right?"

"After all, everyone knows that Shen Guogong is the direct uncle of the Prince Regent, and he has come to the Prince Regent himself. This time, I am afraid that he wants to prevent the new emperor from governing himself."

Although many people think so, few people stand up and agree.

The life and death of the new emperor is uncertain, and the situation between the court and China is still unclear. No one wants to stand up and offend others.
