Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 287 Unhealthy Wind
Shulan Palace

Ding Shuyi, wearing the lightest clothes made of Xiangyun gauze, was holding a bowl of chilled sour plum soup and was spooning it elegantly with a white porcelain spoon.

There were two palace maids standing on the left and right, fanning themselves.

"Then the maid of Lengxiang Palace really said that?" Ding Shuyi lazily passed the half-drunk sour plum soup forward.

Shui'er hurriedly stepped forward and continued, "That's what Cuihua said indeed. Concubine Leng can become more and more beautiful because of the paste made of milk, flour, and egg white. The maids of Lengxiang Palace are indeed Everyone can use ice.”

Ding Shuyi snorted coldly: "We concubines are useless, but the maids in her Lengxiang Palace are all using ice. There is such a big gap between whether we are favored or not."

Maybe it was because she offended the prince and made the emperor unhappy last time in front of the emperor. Those in the imperial kitchen who flattered her and disdained her did not prepare the meals for her as carefully as before.

"No, I have to go to Concubine Li to ask for an explanation. I mentioned the ice in the harem, but why is there so much ice in Lengxiang Palace that even the maids can use it?"

Ding Shuyi stood up angrily and invited the sisters from each palace to go to Concubine Li to ask for an explanation.

Concubine Li was stunned when she heard Ding Shuyi and the others questioning her angrily. She had indeed broken the ice in Lengxiang Palace.

"Sisters, please don't worry." Concubine Li frowned to comfort the agitated concubines, "The ice in the Lengxiang Palace is indeed broken. Even the maids in Lengxiang Palace use ice. I'm afraid Concubine Leng will use it." He got money, or used his identity to put pressure on the people in the ice house."

It is indeed very hot this summer, but the ice in the icehouse is not that insufficient.Concubine Li broke the ice in the harem because she knew that Leng Luoyue was afraid of heat, and the child was also afraid of heat, so she wanted to use some tricks to prevent their life from being so comfortable.

Unexpectedly, Leng Luoyue actually used ice, and even the maids of Lengxiang Palace used it. She either used money to bribe the person in charge of the ice bank, or she used her power as Concubine Leng. Pressuring people, forcing the ice warehouse people to open the warehouse to deliver ice to her.

No matter what method she used, she succeeded in arousing public outrage.

"Needless to say, he must have used his identity to put pressure on the people in the ice bank." Su Zhaorong said angrily.She was so hot yesterday that she asked the palace servants to take the money and go to the cold store, but the cold store didn't even give her a piece of ice.

"We don't need any ice at all, just to save it for later use, but the ice in the Lenghiang Palace is endless, and even the palace maids use it. Isn't it that all the ice we saved was saved for her, the Lenghiang Palace? Already?" Ding Shuyi became angrier as she spoke, and even made herself angry.

"This is too unfair. Concubine Li said that the harem is broken. Why can Concubine Leng be so special and unruly?"

"That's right, we can't just let this matter go. There must be an explanation."

"that is……"

The concubines were excited, their voices became louder and louder, and they became more and more angry.

"Sister Concubine Li, you are in charge of the harem. You must take care of this matter. You must deal with Concubine Leng and give us all an explanation."

"Yes."

Concubine Li frowned in embarrassment and said: "Although I am in charge of the harem, Concubine Leng is the same concubine as me, and she is more favored than me. It is really difficult for me to control her. Sisters, please just bear with me. Bear with it!”

"Forbearance, I can't bear it!" Bai Jieyu said angrily, "Isn't the most taboo thing for the emperor is extravagance and waste? Concubine Leng uses ice for the maids, isn't it extravagance and waste? Since Sister Li Fei can't control her, Let’s go find the emperor together.”

Bai Jieyu's reaction was exactly what Concubine Li wanted.

The emperor hates extravagance and waste. Concubine Leng is so extravagant. If everyone exposes her in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely become disgusted with Concubine Leng.However, Concubine Li didn't want to be the one to go out and complain in front of the emperor.

"That's right, since Sister Li Fei can't control it, let's go find the emperor."

As a result, more than a dozen concubines marched toward the imperial study. Concubine Li shook her head helplessly and followed.

In the imperial study room, Feng Chenghan was reviewing the memorial. He frowned when he saw that it had not rained in Xizhou for more than a month. During the rainy season, there was very little rain. There was a fear of severe drought.

Xizhou is located in the west and has always been short of water and rain. There will be a severe drought every three to five years, killing many people and creating many refugees. The imperial court will provide disaster relief to Xizhou every three to five years. Xizhou has been the king of all dynasties. A place of headache.

At this time, the little eunuch guarding the door came in and bent down to report: "Your Majesty, all the empresses in the harem would like to see you." "What are they here for?" Feng Chenghan had displeasure written all over his face.

He is suffering from Xizhou headache right now!It's definitely not a good thing for all these harem concubines to come looking for him.

The little eunuch said cautiously: "The ladies said that they want your Majesty to make the decision on something."

Let him make the decision?Feng Chenghan took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Isn't Concubine Li in charge of the harem? If they ask Concubine Li to make the decision, why should they ask me?"

What happened to Concubine Li?Can't he manage the harem? He even let the harem concubines find him.

"It's said that Concubine Li can't control it."

Feng Chenghan put down the memorial in his hand and said impatiently: "Send them in!"

He wanted to see what was going on, but Concubine Li couldn't control it, so she wanted him to come in person.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor." The concubines entered the imperial study and knelt on the floor.

Feng Chenghan didn't let them get up and asked, "What do you mean you came to me for?"

Bai Jieyu lowered her head and replied, "It's about Concubine Leng."

"Why is Concubine Leng bothering you again?" Speaking of Concubine Leng, he hadn't been to Lengxiang Palace for a few days, and he missed the kitten a little.Every time, when I hear the kitten's milky voice calling him "Father——", I feel that all worries are gone.

Concubine Li knelt on the ground with her eyes and nose in mind and said nothing.

Bai Jieyu glanced at Concubine Li, and then replied: "This summer is extremely hot. Sister Li Concubine asked Qin Tianjian and said that it would be even hotter in July, and the ice in the icehouse was not enough, so it was broken. Ice is used in the harem. Only ice is delivered to the Queen Mother and Queen every day as usual. Save the ice and start delivering it to the palaces in July. But..."

"But Lengxiang Palace doesn't know what method it uses. Not only does it keep getting ice every day, but even the maids in the palace use ice." Su Zhaorong answered, "Lengxiang Palace consumes as much ice in one day as That’s enough ice for all of us combined in one day.”

"All the ice saved by the concubines has been used by Lengxiang Palace."

"Sister Concubine Li said that Concubine Leng is favored and she is the same concubine, so she doesn't dare to take care of Concubine Leng. We have no choice but to come to the emperor to make the decision."

"Sister Concubine Li is in charge of the harem. Concubine Li has cut off the use of ice in the harem. Concubine Leng should naturally abide by the rules. She has a higher status than me, so she should lead by example."

"That's right, it's just that Concubine Leng doesn't abide by the rules. She is so extravagant and wasteful. This is actually an unhealthy trend in the harem."

"Your Majesty cannot ignore such unhealthy trends..."

The concubines spoke to each other one by one, with very indignant tone and look.

"Is this really true?" Feng Chenghan looked at Concubine Li and asked.

Concubine Li said helplessly: "This is what the maid Cuihua of Lengxiang Palace said herself."

Wang Xin frowned. There was a maid in Lengxiang Palace who was indeed named Cuihua before she changed her name.But... Concubine Leng doesn't look like an extravagant and wasteful person!

Feng Chenghan frowned and looked at the memorial from Xizhou. Xizhou was short of water and rain, and the crops might die from drought. The people of Xizhou didn't even know how hot it was.And the concubine in his harem was so extravagant and wasteful, using ice for all the ladies in the palace. Do you really think that after giving birth to a prince and becoming a cold concubine, she can do whatever she wants?

Feng Chenghan stood up with a roar and said coldly: "Get up!" He strode out of the imperial study room.

The concubines knew that the emperor was going to settle accounts with Concubine Leng, so they quickly got up and followed her.
