The self-disciplined princess wins

Chapter 88
"It's not bad." Zhang Anchu lay down, not caring about him, and finally fell asleep.

After a while, Fu Zhiyuan heard her well-proportioned breathing, which was especially clear in the quiet hall.

He turned around and lay on his side, looking at Zhang Anchu who was lying on the bed.

Fu Zhiyuan's mind was chaotic and complicated. At first, he thought that there would be nothing good after sitting on the throne.

But now, I feel a little bit of enjoyment...

No matter what, Zhang Anchu is still his concubine in the harem, and she will do whatever he wants her to do.

Even if she is angry, just say a few words to calm her down.

Fu Zhiyuan suddenly realized again, why Zhang Anchu finally got Zhang Anchu recently, why did he always think about her?

I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and the next morning, I didn't sleep well, so I had to go to court.

Zhang Anchu was dressed neatly, and sent him respectfully to court, and then, it was a formal farewell to the new couple.

In the harem, there is no queen, she has the highest status, so it falls on her head.

Yurou and Siyu had already prepared tea and snacks, so there was absolutely no mistake.

But after a while, the five of them came to Wangyou Palace almost at the same time.

As soon as they entered the hall, Zhang Anchu smelled a strong smell of makeup, which was much thicker than yesterday.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine."

"Sit down." Zhang Anchu said.

The five sat down one by one, and then Zhang Anchu asked with concern: "How did you sleep last night?"

All five of them lowered their heads in shame and did not speak.

After waking up today, I have already listened to the maids around me telling what happened yesterday.

They reckoned that just one day after officially becoming a concubine in the harem, the emperor saw her ugly behavior.

It is estimated that the days to come will be difficult...

"Why don't you talk?" Zhang Anchu asked suspiciously.

"Imperial Concubine, the emperor saw the ugliness of the courtiers and concubines yesterday, what should I do?" Shao Concubine asked worriedly, frowning.

Zhang Anchu smiled knowingly, knowing their worries, and persuading them: "What else can I do? Live as you want. You enter the palace as concubines, and you also get a salary. There is only one purpose, one is to spread branches and leaves for the emperor. The second is to serve the emperor well, the third is to serve the future queen well, what else do you care about?"

"The emperor was displeased yesterday, and he will not favor his concubines from now on, so let's not talk about spreading things." The sorrow on Shao's face did not disappear, and the others did not feel that what she just said could explain themselves.

Zhang Anchu understood their worries, but she knew that Fu Zhiyuan would not favor them.

Moving to Wangyou Palace yesterday confirmed her guess once again.

What Fu Zhiyuan wanted was only an heir, and now, the heir was in her womb.

Although it is not known whether it is the prince or the princess, according to Fu Zhiyuan's paranoid temperament, it is estimated that she will continue to have children.

He had done his best to touch Zhang Anchu.

"Wouldn't that be better? If I'm the palace, I don't have to worry about it with my salary, wouldn't it be very relaxing?" Zhang Anchu had no choice but to change their minds first and let them make mental preparations.

"Ah..." Shao Bin was surprised that Zhang Anchu would say such a thing.

Even the others looked at each other, not understanding what happened to the imperial concubine, was she talking crazy?

As an imperial concubine, she was already favored by the emperor, so it is understandable for her to think so.

Who enters the palace not to spread branches and leaves for the emperor?
Who doesn't want to be favored when entering the palace?
These words came from Zhang Anchu's mouth, as if she didn't want them to be favored.

Zhang Anchu took a sip of tea, knowing that they didn't understand him, and said again: "It's like the emperor is our boss, the queen is the shopkeeper, and we are buddies. The emperor invited us here to run the harem well and create for him. Benefit."

Listening to what she said, the five of them felt novelty and listened quietly and carefully.

"This interest is much wider. You are smart people and you understand it."

"Imperial concubine, this is the first time I have heard this kind of statement, but now the emperor despises the courtiers and concubines, and the courtiers can no longer create benefits for the emperor." Wei Wei said.

Zhang Anchu shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong. Let's not talk about whether the emperor has rejected you, so what if he has rejected you? Could it be that there is nothing else in the harem?"

Concubine Wei was puzzled, and asked: "The courtiers and concubines are all around the emperor. If the emperor doesn't like it, what else can they do?"

"I can do a lot." Zhang Anchu stood up and said, "How many palace maids and eunuchs are there in the harem, have you ever found out?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, how could they know the details.

"What do you know about this?" Di Ying asked suspiciously.

"Since you don't understand, you have to find out. This is just one, and the second is how much salary do they have for a year?"

"Imperial Concubine, does what you say have anything to do with us?" Mei promised to ask boldly.

"Of course there is. Their yearly salary is estimated to be 40 taels of silver. You say, if we earn silver and pay them salaries without the emperor taking it out of the private treasury, you say that the emperor is not favored by him." What can you do? It's not the same for you. "

Zhang Anchu's bold words shocked them too.

The idea was unprecedented and unbelievable.

40 taels, how could it be possible?

However, if you think about it carefully, it is also a solution.

Concubine Wei stood up, bowed to Zhang Anchu, and said: "I understand the good intentions of the imperial concubine."

Everyone looked over, wondering what she understood.

When Concubine Shao heard what she said, she suddenly realized that she also stood up and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your reminder."

Others have not figured it out at all, Zhang Anchu feels that this is the only way to go today.

"Okay, I've invited you all over, you go back if you have nothing to do," Zhang Anchu said.

She still has to ponder for a while, how to get the palace power.

"Yes."

The five people left, and Wei Pin and Shao Pin walked in front, smiling at each other.

The other three couldn't figure it out, what did they understand?

They didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Anchu's words even after careful consideration.

Di promised to take a quick step, came to Wei Concubine's side, and asked, "Wei Concubine, what do you mean by listening to the imperial concubine?"

Di promised not to care about anything, just ask if you don't understand, why not?
Concubine Wei smiled slightly, and said: "The meaning of the imperial concubine, in fact, I have only a half-knowledge, but I also have some experience."

Several people leaned forward and listened carefully.

"When you enter the harem, you don't have to take love too seriously. If you have something special, even if you are not favored, you can still live well." Wei Wei said softly.

Concubine Shao nodded and added: "This special place can be a family background, a talent, an ability, or a virtue. Even if you are not favored, there are only characteristics that can make the emperor treat you differently." , and you will be safe.”

The three of them nodded. They felt that they were indeed better than Wei Bin and Shao Bin on this point, and they were able to come up with so many deep meanings just by relying on these two words of Zhang Anchu.

Zhang Anchu didn't know what they were thinking, her original intention was just to say, why wait for that illusory favor, being favored may not be a good thing.

As long as you have the ability, there is a place for you in this harem.

It's a pity that she didn't know that those five people were wrong.

After Fu Zhiyuan came down to court, he had to review the memorial, which was unshakeable.

And just as he walked to Xuande Hall, he realized that he had already moved to Wangyou Palace yesterday.

I had no choice but to turn around and go to Wangyou Palace.

Behind Xiao Yunzi was a group of young eunuchs, holding memorials in their arms.

Seeing him coming back, Zhang Anchu thought about the palace power, so he had no choice but to go up to him.

"See Your Majesty."

"Well, get up." Fu Zhiyuan walked past her, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You are pregnant, so you don't need to salute from now on."

Zhang Anchu was pleasantly surprised, that's great, she didn't bother to salute.

"Yes."

Fu Zhiyuan sat down at the table, and the memorials held by the little eunuchs were placed on the table in rows.

Seeing this, Zhang Anchu prepared the cinnabar he needed.

He used a red pen to review the memorial, and this cinnabar is what is necessary.

Fu Zhiyuan picked up the brush and paused, then looked at Zhang Anchu suspiciously.

"Why are you so attentive today?"

"Your Majesty, what you said is that my concubine wants to wake up early and go to bed late, and is busy all day long, so why are she so attentive today?" Zhang Anchu asked obstinately.

Fu Zhiyuan knew that she was busy on weekdays, but she would not come to him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Fu Zhiyuan opened his mouth and asked.

Zhang Anchu smiled slightly, since he asked, he naturally wanted to say it.

"Your Majesty, the concubine said it clearly, and it was not false. The concubine wants palace power!"

Fu Zhiyuan knew that she still didn't give up. He glanced at her abdomen and said, "You just need to take care of your health, and forget about the palace power."

"Your Majesty, my concubine always thinks a lot during pregnancy. If the imperial power is not in my hands, I feel uneasy. It is said that if you think too much during pregnancy, the child will be unhealthy..." Zhang Anchu took advantage of his weakness and said .

She knew that Fu Zhiyuan valued his sons, so she made a point of using them.

Fu Zhiyuan glanced at her, thought for a while, and felt that what she said was also a reason.

"You can leave the palace power to you, but you must not be tired. If something happens to the heir, I will ask you!" Fu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Anchu was satisfied, he was about to enter the palace so easily, and it seemed that the child in his stomach was the best.

After speaking, he saw the nanny coming over with a bowl of goat's milk. Fu Zhiyuan glanced at her and knew that she had the habit of drinking goat's milk, so he didn't say anything.

After Zhang Anchu finished drinking the goat milk, he sat beside Fu Zhiyuan, read a book, and paid attention to his cinnabar, if it ran out, he would add it.

When it was time for lunch, Zhang Anchu wanted to have a good meal, but at this moment, Xiao Yunzi entered the hall and hurriedly reported.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xiaoyao came back from Youzhou, and came to the palace to greet you."

There was a pause in the movements of Fu Zhiyuan's hands, and Zhang Anchu saw that something was wrong with him, but he didn't know why.

Fu Zhiyuan was in the Palace of Wangyou at this time, the previous expectation was to vacate a room in the side hall, if there was a courtier to meet him, it would be in that room.

As for the rule that courtiers in the harem are not allowed to enter, he thought, this will not always be the case in the future, as long as a courtier comes in, he will send multiple eunuchs to follow, and nothing will go wrong.

These are easy to handle, but Prince Xiaoyao is not easy to handle.

He is afraid...

Afraid that Prince Xiaoyao would see Zhang Anchu!
"You stay in the hall, you are not allowed to go out." Fu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, stood up and left for the side hall.

After Prince Xiaoyao entered the palace, he didn't expect Fu Zhiyuan to change his place, and he was still in the harem.

This was what I dreamed of, how could I imagine that Fu Zhiyuan, a stunned man, would have the same idea as me?

So strange!

Seeing him coming in, Lord Xiaoyao smiled, and said playfully: "Yes, third brother, you have grown up now!"

"Don't be joking, talk about something serious." Fu Zhiyuan had time to talk to him about other things, so he hurriedly finished speaking and sent him away.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, what's the matter with saying a few more words? Is it because I'm afraid... Is it because I'm afraid that my brother will see your imperial concubine?" Prince Xiaoyao joked with a folding fan in his hand. Seeing his impatient face, he said: " Don't you think too much now, brothers and wives, this king still has a bottom line."

Fu Zhiyuan's heart hurt when he heard what he said.

brother wife?
If the eldest brother becomes the emperor, then Zhang Anchu should be his wife.

Not only that, if he hadn't forced Zhang Anchu to stay in the harem, he would have entered the backyard of the palace.

Doesn't this mean that he has no bottom line?
"Hurry up and get down to business!" Fu Zhiyuan said holding back his anger.

Prince Xiaoyao didn't know what happened to him, why he was so angry today, he thought to himself, could it be that he had quarreled with the imperial concubine?
He remembered that this imperial concubine was a servant girl in his palace, and now she can become an imperial concubine, which shows that she has some ability.

"Everything has been done, and the curtain has come to a successful conclusion. I came to the palace this time to ask you, why is the concubine of Beiping Hou gone?" Prince Xiaoyao still couldn't believe it, and he would always put it down if he had to ask in person.

Fu Zhiyuan hummed, a little guilty, but he didn't dare to show it.

Prince Xiaoyao's eyes were lonely, and he muttered to himself: "Sure enough, the beauty is so unlucky, and the book does not deceive me..."

Prince Xiaoyao left, as if half of his soul had been taken away.

Fu Zhiyuan sat in the side hall in a daze.

This matter, I am sorry for you...

Three months later, Zhang Anchu became pregnant, and now his life is very fulfilling. Apart from the usual things before, he also has to manage the chores of the harem. For now, the concubines are in harmony for the time being.

Fu Zhiyuan has never spoiled them, and he has been living in Wangyou Palace. They also know that they probably came to the palace to sit on the bench.

The few people sat down and chatted openly and honestly, and decided to start a business outside the palace. After discussing the business, they felt that the only way to achieve the small goal of 40 yuan was to go to sea besides selling salt.

Selling salt is an official business, so it must not work, it is illegal.

Then the only way is to go to sea, bring goods from other countries to sell, and bring your own goods to other countries to sell.

Several people pooled some money and started to prepare for the business, but they were too busy to touch the ground.

When Fu Zhiyuan learned about this, he was a little angry at first, but Zhang Anchu turned him back.

Zhang Anchu said: "You don't favor them, what's wrong with them finding something to do on their own? Or, you can go to their palace tonight, and I can assure you that they will stop messing around with this."

Fu Zhiyuan ignored her and simply ignored her. Anyway, it wasn't his money they paid for their business, and they made money to enrich their private treasury.
