Self-cultivation of the noble concubine who eats melons

Chapter 119 120: Leveraging Strength
Their Song family is not as big and powerful as the Qin family's family, but she will find helpers, and she doesn't want to eat alone. Hello, me, everyone.

Therefore, Song Yunzhao asked Feng Yunjin to be in charge of the think tank, Han Guibin to be in charge of action, and Lu Zhixue to be in charge of the talk, to start the small group meeting.

After the three listened to Song Yunzhao's words, Feng Yunjin was the first to express her support. She understood the core of Yunzhao's operation.

Contributing meritorious service is secondary, and dividing meritorious service is the main thing. It is naturally clear at a glance who is responsible for the meritorious service.

Han Jinyi also sighed and said, "When the snow falls, I don't know how many people are suffering from cold and starvation. It's good to do something."

Since her father came back from the disaster relief, she and her father had communicated through letters, and felt that the people affected by the disaster were really pitiful. Now that this kind of thing happened again, she knew that she could help, so of course she was willing to help.What's more, if you have a blog and a good reputation, you will kill two birds with one stone.

Lu Zhixue didn't think of anything else, but when she heard Song Yunzhao talk about Qin Xiyue's porridge, it must be that Song Yunzhao was careful not to let Qin Xiyue steal her limelight, and he justly said that he would share the emperor's worries and do his best for the people.

Hmph, Song Yunzhao's mouth, a deceitful ghost, can't believe a word.

However, she is willing to do things that make Qin Xiyue suffer a little bit, after all, she is also someone who has suffered from Qin Xiyue.

So Lu Zhixue also agreed.

"If you want to make clothes, you need cloth, cotton, and embroiderers who do needlework. If you do a lot of things, you need a lot of things and people." Feng Yunjin said.

Han Jinyi said: "As for the cloth and cotton, we can set an example and call on the ladies in Beijing to donate. The cloth is better, but it is difficult for a big family to come up with a lot of cotton."

Song Yunzhao thought for a while and said: "The common people don't all have cotton to resist the cold. They can't afford cotton. They often use catkins, poplar catkins, straw, and reed flowers to keep warm. They can use whatever they can buy. Right now No choice."

"This is a good way." Lu Zhixue nodded, "I have been to Zhuangzi before, and the tenants in Zhuangzi used these to make cotton coats."

"We are in the deep palace, it is not easy to do these things, we need to find someone to take the lead." Feng Yunjin looked at Yun Zhao and said.

Song Yunzhao nodded, "I think Concubine Lu is very suitable, what do you think?"

Lu Zhixue said in surprise, "Concubine Lu?"

What a joke, where it fits, she doesn't fit anywhere.

Han Jinyi looked sideways at Lu Zhixue, "If Concubine Lu is not available, do you want to choose between Concubine Wan and Concubine Zhuang?"

Lu Zhixue is silent, so it's not as good as Concubine Lu.

Feng Yunjin pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately understood Song Jieyu's meaning. This was to use Concubine Lu's temperament to suppress Concubine Wan and Concubine Zhuang. , but Concubine Zhuang is different.

"Concubine Lu is indeed a suitable candidate, and because of the fraud case, the Prime Minister is in decline, so he must want a chance to regain his strength. Now Jieyu has given this opportunity to Concubine Lu, and the Prime Minister has a deeper understanding than Concubine Lu. If you go further, you will naturally know how to do it.”

For example, recruiting all the embroidered women in the capital to make cotton clothes, the prime minister has the right to do it, but they, the deep palace concubines, cannot.

Qin Wanyi has Grand Tutor Qin, so they can get on the boat of Prime Minister Right.

Song Yunzhao praised in his heart, he is worthy of being the think tank of the heroine in the book, this brain is really good.

After the four of them had a good discussion, they split up. Feng Yunjin took Han Jinyi and Lu Zhixue to prepare cloth and cotton, as well as the embroiderer. She came here to find Concubine Lu to cooperate.

In Cuiwei Palace, Concubine Lu is drinking tea and looking at the snow scene, the palace people outside are busy clearing the snow, there is no place to set foot in the yard, she is too lazy to go out, it would be more comfortable to drink tea by the stove.

"Who's here?" Concubine Lu was taken aback, then frowned, "Song Jieyu? It's so cold and hard to walk on the road, what is she doing in Cuiwei Palace?"

"Song Jieyu said that there is something she wants to report to the empress." Yun Shang replied.

Concubine Lu sneered, she didn't believe it, but thinking about it last time, she was considered to be in the honor of Song Yunzhao, this person never came to the door easily, what if something good happened?

"Invite people in." Concubine Lu said lazily.

Song Yunzhao walked all the way over the snow, and it was useless to step on clogs, if it weren't for the thick shoes on his feet, he would have been soaked all the way.

It's really too cold.

After entering the inner hall and feeling the temperature of the stove, Song Yunzhao felt his whole body calm down. Song Yunzhao stepped forward to greet Concubine Lu, "The concubine pays respects to Concubine Lu."

Concubine Lu didn't want to see Song Yunzhao, seeing her internally hurt every time, especially since she entered the palace, it was extremely difficult for them to see the emperor. They used to be able to drink tea every now and then, but now they can't see the tea soup.

I don't know how this Jieyu is so capable, if she is a soft persimmon, it's fine, but if she touches her hands, she will get internal injuries.

This is also due to the fact that there is no queen in the harem. If there is a queen, Song Yunzhao will be seen every day when she goes to pay her respects. This life will be impossible.

"Get up, Song Jieyu is a rare visitor, why did she come here in this snowy day?"

Song Yunzhao didn't care about Concubine Lu's yin and yang aura, and after getting up and taking his seat, he said with a smile: "This concubine has made a great contribution and wants to give it to the empress."

Concubine Lu's eyelids twitched violently when she heard this, she stared at Song Yunzhao suspiciously, and looked at her suspiciously, "Give me a great contribution? Why don't you keep such a good thing for yourself?"

"Of course it's because the concubine can't eat alone." Song Yunzhao knows how to deal with Concubine Lu. It's useless to talk too much about Concubine Lu's temperament, it's better to be straightforward.

Concubine Lu thought that this was something Song Yunzhao would say, so she said, "Let's listen to it."

Song Yunzhao briefly explained the matter of the snow disaster, and focused on the actions of Qin Xiyue and Qin Taifu, so that Concubine Lu must have the illusion that if she moves too slowly, she will run away.

Concubine Lu's expression really became solemn, she really doesn't care much about whether the emperor comes to Cuiwei Palace or not, it makes no difference if he comes or not, anyway, she is just sitting and drinking tea and playing chess, the emperor doesn't know what dislikes her , I haven't touched her for so many years.

What she cares most about now is to keep her concubine position, and it is best to take a step forward, and her father was implicated in the fraud case last time, which would embarrass her as well.

It would be great if, as Song Yunzhao said, his father could make a contribution this time.

Song Yunzhao said solemnly: "When our family first arrived in the capital, where can we borrow someone to make cotton clothes? We can pay some thin silver for the cloth and cotton wool, but the embroiderer is really powerless, so I thought about asking the empress If you come forward, only the empress can facilitate this matter."

Concubine Lu took a look at Song Yunzhao, thinking that what she said was very sweet, although she knew that she didn't have a few words of truth, but she couldn't help but she was in a good mood.

"You're right. The people are innocent. When we encounter a natural disaster, we must try our best to do something. However, I dare not say that this matter will be done well. I can only try."

Song Yunzhao was pleasantly surprised, "It is the blessing of the common people to get the words of the empress."

Concubine Lu glanced at Song Yunzhao again, and asked, "How many of you want to pay for cloth and cotton wool?"

Song Yunzhao nodded, "The concubine and the others just want to do their bit."

It's not enough to just count on the four of them, it's a drop in the bucket.

What Song Yunzhao really expected was that they would do this first, using the influence of the right prime minister, Concubine Lu and her name as a favorite concubine, the noble ladies in the capital would definitely follow suit and do good deeds. Talent is the thickest wool.

Song Yunzhao understands the herd effect best. This kind of thing is really common in later generations.

Now she is taking advantage of everyone's mentality to see if she can take advantage of the situation to seek some benefits for the people. She only has such great skills, and she dare not say how well she can do it. Let's do my best.

Concubine Lu murmured in her heart that she could play tricks, no wonder she could captivate the emperor's eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, but when she thought that she had gotten the most benefit from the cup, she turned her eyes away and didn't look at Song Yunzhao, so she didn't get angry.

"How long have you been in the palace, what money do you have?" Concubine Lu snorted, "It's my share." She said looking at Yunshang, "Take 1000 taels of silver and give it to Song Jieyu."

Yun Chang nodded and went down into the inner hall, and quickly came out holding a bank note, and respectfully placed it on the table beside Song Jieyu.

Song Yunzhao did not expect such an unexpected joy, "Your Majesty really has great kindness in her heart, and my concubines admire her."

Concubine Lu waved her hand indifferently, "Okay, you can go back quickly, and I will let you know when there is news."

Song Yunzhao didn't care about Concubine Lu's attitude just because of the 1000 taels of silver, and immediately got up to leave, absolutely not staying in the way for a second.

After Song Yunzhao left, Concubine Lu went into the study to sort out her thoughts before writing a letter.

It is a matter of her father's ability to get back together, which cannot be ignored.

Concubine Lu's letter was quickly sent out of the palace and arrived at the Right Prime Minister's mansion, but the Right Prime Minister hadn't returned to the mansion yet. The heavy snow fell and he was busy inwards and outwards without touching the ground. By the time he returned to the mansion, it was already late at night.

Hearing that his daughter had delivered a letter, Prime Minister Right turned around and went directly to the study. The fire dragon was burning in the study. After entering the door, Prime Minister Right let out a long sigh of relief, his whole body was about to freeze.

Leaning on the stove to warm my hands, I didn't feel stiff anymore, so I picked up the letter and opened it.

The Prime Minister on the right looked at it and became serious. Today, Qin Taifu was the first to give porridge to save the people, and he really won the praise of the emperor.

The right minister found out that he was a step too late, so of course he couldn't let Mrs. Qin steal the limelight, and it was rare to join hands with the left minister to put aside their previous suspicions. They were negotiating that it would be okay to have porridge but no clothes, but they wanted so many cotton clothes, where did they get the money? to do this?

This is not a small amount, the Ministry of Households is crying poor, and there is a lot of money that can be taken out, the emperor's face is very ugly.

This can’t be blamed on the Ministry of Households. This year’s floods in the south cost a lot of treasury money for disaster relief, and the emperor also exempted the people in the disaster-stricken areas from taxes. The treasury will not be full next year, and next year will be a difficult year. snowstorm.

He has a close relationship with Zuo Xiangxin, this year is a sad one.

However, the heart is in his daughter to send the news, if the concubine in the harem takes the lead in donating money to buy cloth, then he can plan this matter well.

Prime Minister on the right breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that his daughter said in the letter that Song Jieyu had offered advice, he felt very complicated.

Why is this Song Jieyu everywhere, but not only will he not refuse this plan, but he will make it bigger and better.

The right minister remembered what happened last time. It was Song Jieyu who gave him the news, so that he could barely avoid the fraud case, that's all, even if Song Jieyu's favor was returned.

Right Prime Minister simply ate a mouthful of hot food, and then began to arrange the matter overnight.

What is written in the daughter's letter is very simple, but it is not easy at all to do it. First of all, the news must be released, so that the wives of each government know what the concubines in the palace are doing, so that these people will follow suit Good deeds, no matter whether they are willing or unwilling, will always cost some blood.

Immediately, people were asked to count the number of embroiderers in the city, and then the government issued a decree to recruit embroiderers to make cotton-padded clothes. After they were finished, how to distribute the clothes and how to transport them needed a special person to coordinate...

Prime Minister Right's eyes were turning red, and the pen in his hand was never idle for a moment. Nuo Da's study room was brightly lit, and the accountant and staff were all called to discuss matters. Once the lights were on, it would be a night...

This night, Song Yunzhao was not idle either. The emperor had no time to enter the harem because of the snow disaster. She would not bother him at this time, but took Han Jinyi and the others to make a plan on how to spend the money overnight. After a while, Concubine Lu sent news, and Song Yunzhao knew that Prime Minister Right would not refuse the opportunity to make meritorious service.

Once Concubine Lu took the lead, the movement was different. She was a concubine who was a concubine, and she sent people and opened the warehouse.After Concubine Zhuang's Zhaoyang Palace is Qin Xiyue's Huayang Palace, Qin Xiyue soon heard the news.

Song Yunzhao had been busy all night and hardly slept a wink. After Feng Yunjin sent the plan discussed by several people to Concubine Lu, he fell asleep by himself, so he didn't care about Qin Xiyue's reaction when he found out.

Lu Zhixue and Han Jinyi were also tired all night. Like Song Yunzhao, Lu Zhixue returned to Yihua Palace to catch up on sleep. Han Jinyi was not so lucky, and met Qin Xiyue before returning to Liuhua Palace.

The two happened to walk across from each other in front of Liuhua Palace.

Han Jinyi took a look at Qin Wanyi, knelt down and saluted, "I have seen Qin Wanyi."

Qin Xiyue looked at the direction Han Jinyi came from, and said with a smile, "Where did Concubine Han Gui come from this early in the morning?"

When Han Jinyi heard this, she replied, "The concubine just separated from Concubine Lu, and unexpectedly met Wanyi here. Qin Wanyi passed by here, is she going to Qingyan Palace?"

Qin Xiyue's Huayang Palace is not far from Han Jinyi's Liuhua Palace, besides, all the concubines living in Qingyan Palace are the defeated concubines of Concubine Lu's class, and they hardly go out and rarely interact with others.

She said this on purpose because Qingyan Palace is to the east of Liuhua Palace. Since Qin Xiyue didn't come to Liuhua Palace, she certainly wouldn't go to Yihua Palace to visit Lu Zhixue, so she could only go to Qingyan Palace.

Although Qin Xiyue had a smile on her face, her eyes were dark. She said softly, "I didn't go to Qingyan Palace, I just wanted to find Feng Xiaoyuan. I didn't expect Feng Xiaoyuan to come out to look at you because she wasn't in Yanqing Palace. Coming from a distance, I thought you and Feng Xiaoyuan were not far away, so I came here to ask."

Han Jinyi thought that what Qin Xiyue said was that she had found out about their whereabouts. There was nothing to hide about this matter, and she would know about it sooner or later, so she said frankly, "Qin Wanyi's visit is unlucky, Feng Xiaoyuan has gone. Cuiwei Palace, you missed it on the way."

Han Jinyi said this on purpose, Feng Yunjin went to Cuiwei Palace from Wangyou Palace, Qin Xiyue came from Huayang Palace, one east and one west, the two happened to be staggered, unless they were deliberately stuck, otherwise it would be really hard to meet not easy.

The smile on Qin Xiyue's face froze slightly, Feng Yunjin went to see Concubine Lu?
Han Jinyi was too cold, and really didn't want to stand here to suffer the cold, so she said with a smile: "If Qin Wanyi has no other orders, the concubine will leave first."

Qin Xiyue could only nod her head and watched Han Jinyi enter Liuhua Palace.

She looked at the jacaranda and ordered: "Someone invited An Fangyi to Huayang Palace to talk."

When the jacarandas came down, Qin Xiyue led the people away first, and the clogs made a creaking sound as they stepped on the snow, which was especially clear in this early morning.

Han Jinyi returned to the main hall and warmed up against the stove for a while before she recovered. Now that she has moved into the main hall, it is more spacious than the Qiulan Hall where she lived before.

Originally, her status was not as high as An Fangyi's, but the emperor granted her to live in the main hall, so she naturally had nothing to worry about, but since she moved into the main hall, her relationship with An Fangyi has become even colder.

Originally, there was not much communication between the two, but after this incident, the people around An Fangyi saw them as very wary.

Wen Xia stomped his feet into the palace and said, "Master, An Fangyi just left Liuhua Palace."

Han Jinyi lowered her head slightly, raised her head to look at Xia and asked, "Why did you go out in this weather all of a sudden?"

"My servant saw a little palace maid entering Feishuang Palace, she was a bit unfamiliar, I don't quite remember which palace she is from." Wen Xia replied.

Han Jinyi's eyes narrowed, "Is someone watching?"

"The servant sent the little maid to follow from a distance," Wen Xia said, since they had a quarrel with An Fangyi's people, the people on both sides were not in harmony, so they paid close attention to each other's whereabouts.

Han Jinyi nodded, "I'll take a nap for a while, call me if you have any news."

Ask Xia Ying, and serve the master to sleep.

The gloomy sky makes people feel dull. If it snows again, it will not be a good thing for the people.

Feng Yi discussed disaster relief with the officials in the court hall, and then the right minister stood up and talked about the cotton clothes, and the atmosphere in the court hall became a little lively.

Qin Taifu gave out rice and grain for porridge, and the right minister came to donate clothes. After the right minister said that the last idea was from the concubines in the harem, he fell silent instantly.

Feng Yi glanced at Prime Minister Right, although Prime Minister Right highly praised Concubine Lu for taking the lead in handling this matter, but Song Yunzhao and others were added later, only Concubine Lu could think of these things?
Feng Yi felt that it must have been figured out by Song Yunzhao, and he also knew how to use the hands of Concubine Lu to let the Right Prime Minister implement it. This brain turned quickly, and he was quite good at judging the situation.

The emperor didn't care about the right minister's small thoughts, Song Nanzhen received the disaster relief mission again this time, Yun Zhao shouldn't be too showy at this time, the father and daughter are too conspicuous.

However, Yun Zhao was willing to share his worries, which warmed his heart.

When the court came down, Feng Yi didn't go back to the imperial study and went directly to Wangyou Palace. Meng Jiuchang was stunned for a moment, Zhang Maoquan passed him and followed.

Xu Sixi's face was wooden, and he yelled in his heart, you son of a bitch!
All the way to Wangyou Palace in a hurry, Mammy Yu and others were taken aback, Xiangxue was about to enter the bedroom to wake up the master.

Feng Yi stopped her and asked, "Why haven't you woken up yet?"

Xiangxue hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the master discussed things with Feng Xiaoyuan last night and didn't sleep until dawn."

Feng Yi remembered what Prime Minister Right said this morning, and his expression eased, "You all step back."

Xiangxue glanced at the bedroom with some unease, and then retreated with Nanny Yu.

Feng Yi took off his outer clothes in the outer hall, Zhang Maoquan hurriedly brought over the stove, "Your Majesty, please warm your hands first."

Feng Yi waved his hand, and walked directly into the bedroom.

The light in the dormitory was dim, the autumn-colored bed curtain fell down, white smoke curled up from the incense burner on the small table, and the faint breath of soothing incense poured into the nostrils.

He slowed down and walked over slowly, lifted the bed curtain, hung it on the jade hook casually, sat on the edge of the bed and stared down at Yun Zhao's sleeping face.

There was a layer of blush on the white and tender face, eyes closed, black hair scattered on the pillow, a booklet was thrown on the bedside table, he took it casually, and saw a few lines of words written in a mess.

After a closer look, it turned out to be the amount of silver taels raised in the harem, and the estimated amount of cloth to be bought. The cloth was marked as coarse cloth, because more cloth could be bought to make clothes.

In the back, Lin Lin Zong always wrote the words Weaving Workshop, Embroidery Workshop, Embroidery Lady, etc. The handwriting was a bit scribbled. When he saw an ink mark on the small table, he looked down to the ground and found a pen on the ground in the corner. .

This is before going to bed, still thinking about how to do more things with limited money?
Feng Yi's hand holding the booklet tightened slightly. Until now, he found that he didn't really know Yun Zhao very well. He thought he understood her temperament very well, but now he felt that he didn't understand.

She is a Jieyu, as long as she serves him well in the harem and makes him happy, she doesn't need to take care of these things at all, and she doesn't need to spend such thoughts planning disaster relief.

She was even willing to give Concubine Lu the credit for the Right Prime Minister's action.

Why is she doing this?

Feng Yi's heart tightened.

At this moment, the person on the bed moved, his arms stretched out from the brocade quilt, he turned his head and fell asleep again.

Feng Yi stretched out his hand and stuffed her arm back into the brocade quilt. Just as he was about to cover her with the quilt, the sleeping person suddenly moved, and then turned his head abruptly.

The eyes of the two met together.

Song Yunzhao's eyes were hazy, and he subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Seeing her stupid look, Feng Yi couldn't help but smile, "I'll come and see you."

Song Yunzhao felt that he was dreaming, the emperor's eyes were so gentle, as if looking at someone in love.

Hey, it really is only in dreams that you have what you want.

Feng Yi thought that Song Yunzhao had woken up, but he didn't know that after he finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Feng Yi's tenderness, I just feel that it has been put into the water, and it will never look back.

　Today's update is sent, cute little ones.
