bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 37 The Way to Save Money
Han Dongwen fell on the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling in a daze.

As the saying goes, a penny beats a hero.

Without money, I'm afraid I can only lose my bones.

If you were asked suddenly, which bone in your body is the most unnecessary, how would you answer?

Do teeth count?
I'm afraid it doesn't count.

"Is there any bone in me that I don't need? Is there a bone called something, some tailbone?"

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his buttocks, then retracted in disappointment.

"...I don't know how to take out the bone. If I make an operation here, I will have to sleep standing up for the rest of my life."

Han Dongwen sighed, took out a small jade tablet from his bosom, held it in his palm and looked at it.

This jade token was naturally returned to him by Jiang Keyin, the little red bean jade token.

During the day in Tianchi Palace, when Han Dongwen asked Jiang Keyin to return the jade token, Jiang Keyin just stared at him with interest, and then generously took out the jade token.

"That court lady, the National Judicial Department naturally has no reason to silence her now."

Han Dongwen felt Jiang Keyin's gaze, and said so boldly.

"Everyone in this palace has a way to protect themselves. If she is not stupid, she will naturally figure it out. If she is stupid, if His Highness saves her this time, there will be another time."

And Jiang Keyin answered him like this.

After hearing this, Han Dongwen just smiled, took the jade card and put it in his arms: "After all, he is the one who follows me. I said I want to protect her, so I have to do it after all."

Just kidding, if there was no opportunity brought by Xiao Hongdou, how could Han Dongwen sit opposite Jiang Keyin and talk like he is now?

"Isn't Ke'er one of His Highness's people?"

"Ah, alright, alright."

……

Now the jade tablet was lying in Han Dongwen's palm, he tossed and turned for a while, and finally shook his head.

"Tomorrow, think about whether there is any other way to get money. If it doesn't work, we can only discuss it in the long run."

Bored before going to bed, he put his hand under the pillow again, ready to take out the Xuanji disk to take a look at the forum.

Maybe besides him, there will be videos of people from other places released, so that he can understand some things outside the palace.

Xuanji held the disk in her hand.

Han Dongwen stared blankly at the Xuanji disk, but did not open the forum.

After a while, he showed a smile, as if he had heard some funny joke, and he was so happy that he slapped his thigh.

"Why didn't I think of it, why didn't I think of it?"

It was only then that Han Dongwen discovered that he still had some abilities to make the best use of everything.

If his thinking is correct, then at least he already has an understanding of the material for the step of getting into the marrow!

Can keep the bones!
"I'll go to Taishu Pavilion tomorrow..."

Thinking so, he walked to the door of the bedroom and knocked lightly on the door beam.

"The servant is here, Your Highness."

Immediately came the voice of the maid outside the door.

There are always three maids on duty for this night, and two of them are standing next to the bedroom. These two maids used to be unable to sleep all night, so they always pay attention at night, listening to how Han Dongwen slept at night, breathing evenly, and getting up again. How many nights, how many times turned over.

These details are related to the emperor's health, if the imperial hospital asks, they must be able to answer.

In addition, they have to kneel naked all night in the bedroom, suffer from the cold, kneeling in place, but still have to pay attention to these many details, it is really a tormenting task.

But Han Dongwen was not used to this, so he only told them to stay on watch outside the bedroom door, and if there was nothing important, they didn't have to enter the bedroom.

If he wanted something, or had any order, he just had to come to the door and knock.

"Notify Yingchun Palace that Xiaohongdou will be on duty tomorrow."

If Han Dongwen's idea works, then maybe he can start working on it tomorrow.

That being the case, the people around you should be your own people.

After hearing this, the two maids outside the door looked at each other meaningfully, and nodded in unison.

Since they wanted to pass on the message, the two of them naturally didn't dare to delay, so one of them was left to guard here, while the other maid temporarily resigned and returned to Yingchun Palace.

------

In the Spring Palace.

During the usual rest time, Xiao Hongdou was never used to being too intimate with other court ladies, so she usually just had dinner together in the Yingchun Palace, and then listened to Mi Niangniang's plan for the next day.

You can't eat too much for dinner, it's not treating them badly, but if you eat enough, you will inevitably get sleepy.

As a servant, you must always be smart.

At this time, Xiao Hongdou was staying in the room, the ladies in the palace were going to be late for dinner, a small lamp was lit on the small table in front of her, and there was also a piece of letter paper on the table, and she was planning to write a letter to her father. .

There is nothing that must be said, but I just want to report that I am safe - of course I will not say about the assassination before, not only will it make my father more worried, but also because of the self-consciousness of being a court lady.

This is not my own business, it is the Holy Majesty's business, if she leaks the secret, it will be too dereliction of duty.

What's more, who knows how many people's hands and how many inspections the letterhead will pass through?
Naturally, I can only talk about things that are neither salty nor dull. The weather is fine and the snow has not yet snowed. I have a good life in the palace. With the grace of the Holy One, I have made some friends, and I am not alone.

After writing this, she stopped the pen in her hand and sighed.

It is true that it has not snowed yet, and I am indeed taken care of by His Highness.

But she doesn't have many friends.

She is not particularly close by nature, and she is a younger sister who has just entered the palace, so she always obeys the rules and behaves politely to other older sisters.

Since entering the palace, other people just smiled politely and nodded when they saw her.

This would have been no problem.

But after he finished learning the rules and served His Highness on duty, he suddenly felt that other people looked at him much weirder.

Of course she doesn't know, there are many rumors behind her back, some people say that she is very favored by the Holy One, and just because she loves her, she is exempted from the rule of maids in bed and undressing.

Some people even said that this was no different from those court ladies who had been favored by the Holy Majesty before. Maybe one day the Holy Majesty would be useless, and in the end all the court ladies would also have to be implicated.

In fact, it is a good job for a court lady to eat and use the palace food, and there is also a lot of money every month. Many palace ladies always want to continue to do it.

But the premise is not to let Han Dongwen fall in love with him. If Han Dongwen falls in love with him, he may suffer some disaster.

Many people always want to continue to be court ladies, and they are afraid that Han Dongwen will turn his attention to Yingchun Palace again. They wish they can live in the palace easily, save monthly money, and when they are old enough to return to their hometown, they will have good conditions. You can also do your own business.

There are also some court ladies who are big-minded and love to dream of concubines, so they hate girls like Xiao Hongdou even more, they always take up His Highness's time, and they should be punished.

So they were almost always dissatisfied with Xiaohongdou, and they didn't even nod their heads or smile when they met each other.

"Little Red Bean, what are you doing!"

A court lady knocked on Xiaohongdou's door, she hurriedly put down her pen, and recognized that it was Chi Hanqing's personal maid, Lu Sisi's voice.

Almost only she is still close to Xiaohongdou, but Xiaohongdou doesn't tell her about the hardships she has suffered.

After all, it is very rare for someone to treat you well, how can you ask others to care about you?
