Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 409 Bai Jieyu gets a reward
There were too many potatoes, and they would grow sprouts if left uneaten for a long time. Leng Luoyue asked Caiwei to fry a lot of French fries with the potatoes.

It just so happened that Mrs. Xu and the others asked Caiwei to bring back tomatoes in the dish. They also made some tomato sauce and ate it with French fries. It was perfect.

Children shouldn't eat too much fried food. Leng Luoyue didn't dare to let the kitten eat more. Seeing that he had eaten a few sticks, he asked Caiwei to take them away.

When people in Lenghsiang Palace took a break at night, they ate French fries while admiring the moon. Most of the box of French fries was eaten up immediately.

The shopkeeper of Mengyou Bookstore found the new manuscript of the wild scholar on the row of bookshelves where the four books were placed.

"The Story The Queen Mother and I Have to Tell" ended unexpectedly, but the ending was very good. The male favorite was discovered and executed by the emperor. The queen mother was actually pregnant with the male favorite's child. The emperor ordered that the bastard be released and the healthy child be taken away. The Queen Mother was sent to the royal temple to become a monk.It was announced to the outside world that the Queen Mother had seen through the world of mortals and wanted to stay home, eat fast, chant Buddha's name, and pray for the country.

But "The Daily Life of Lao Wang" made the shopkeeper frown. He felt that the plot of this volume seemed a bit inconsistent, and it felt very different from the previous volumes.

The boss said that if the Wild Scholar's manuscript arrives, it will be printed directly. However, he is a little unsure about paying attention to this volume now, fearing that if this volume is printed, someone will scold him if he buys it.

After much deliberation, I took the manuscript to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.

In the study, Yu Wei held the manuscript and looked at it, while the shopkeeper stood next to him waiting.

Yu Wei frowned at first, then gradually relaxed his brows, and a smile appeared on his face.

He became more and more curious about who this wild scholar was?He actually knew everything about King Chang'an.

People who don't know the inside story will definitely feel that this volume is a bit inconsistent and does not look like it was written by a wild scholar.But Yu Wei, who knew the inside story, understood it. It is written in the book "The Wild Scholar" that King Chang'an learned that the court was going to search the brothel. He was afraid that his secret would be exposed, so he sent people to inquire. It should be King Chang'an who learned that the emperor sent troops to Qingzhou. His true reaction after wiping out the bandits.

He suddenly had a feeling that the book Wild Scholar was actually written for the King of Chang'an.

People are spying on you all the time, so secrets cannot be hidden. Everyone will feel panic, fear or even fear!

Seeing his boss smiling, the shopkeeper showed doubts on his face. Does he still think this volume is good?

Yu Wei closed the manuscript and handed "The Story The Queen Mother and I Have to Tell" to the shopkeeper.

"Let's hurry up and print this! This volume..." Yu Wei looked at the manuscript on the coffee table, "Wait for a while before printing and selling it."

"Yes." The shopkeeper took the manuscript, with a look of confusion on his face.

Since the owner thinks that the manuscript of this volume is fine, why not just print it and sell it?We have to wait another ten days.

The reason why Yu Wei waited a while for the book to be released was because he couldn't let King Chang'an think that he had someone write the book. He suspected that the emperor sent troops to Qingzhou just to wipe out the private soldiers he kept deep in the Changling Mountains. The news spread.

This volume can be released, but not now, at least until Xiang Yuan destroys the group of private soldiers hiding in the Changling Mountains.

It’s just going to be a pain for those who are waiting for the book.

Bai Jieyu got the right to manage the harem and was determined to make achievements, so she started to work aggressively.

The first thing she did was to check the accounts of the imperial kitchen and the various departments. Many people in the palace were primarily concerned with money, and the departments would naturally be a little secretive. Even if the accounts seemed clean, they were not. Once checked, problems can still be found.

Bai Jieyu dealt with several people and replaced them with her own people. Naturally, she managed the harem with people who came to curry favor and work for her, and her people were these people.She also chased back 2 taels of silver. After the silver was recovered, she had someone take the silver to report to the emperor.

Fengcheng Han hated the greed and theft of these people in the palace, so he praised Bai Jieyu, put 2 taels of silver into the treasury, and rewarded her with a jade pendant.

Bai Jieyu was very happy to receive the praise and reward. Knowing that the emperor did not like extravagance and waste, she put forward another idea of ​​hers.

"Your Majesty, extravagance is common in the palace, and the food and clothing expenses of each palace are wasteful. For example, for a concubine, the daily meal portion includes one hoof, two chickens, and one duck. Three fish, ten eggs..."

"One person can't finish that piece of chicken, let alone other things. The water in the palace is poured out of the palace in more than twenty barrels every day. I heard that there are many people from poor families. , he is guarding the water in the palace every day outside the palace!"

"When he saw that the Gushui was pouring, he went up to rob it, picked up the meat from the Gushui, washed it, and dried it into dried meat to eat."

"Poor people can't afford meat, but our palace is so wasteful. Every time I think about this, I feel very uncomfortable." Bai Jieyu said, covering her chest with her hands, showing a look of discomfort.

"So I feel that the share of each palace should be reduced."

Fengcheng Han was not a person who liked extravagance and waste. He had more portions than his concubines, but on weekdays he basically had enough food to eat, and he never asked the imperial kitchen to prepare meals for him according to his own portions.Therefore, what Bai Jieyu said really spoke to his heart, and he also wanted to reduce his share in the palace.

"Why don't you have a plan in mind?" Feng Chenghan looked at Bai Jieyu and asked.

"...Not yet." She just had this idea, but she hadn't drawn up the charter yet.

"Then you first draw up a charter and show it to me before you implement it."

"Yes." Bai Jieyu's face was filled with joy, and she suddenly felt that she was right to mention this matter. If she could save more money for the emperor, the emperor would definitely think that she managed the harem well, and would give her more than just A small reward.

Feng Chenghan wanted to approve the memorial, but after Bai Jieyu finished speaking, he just let her go.

Bai Jieyu happily came out of the imperial study. She put the jade pendant that the emperor had gifted her on a tray and asked the palace maid to hold it carefully, for fear that no one would know that she had received the reward.

Knowing that Bai Jieyu had been praised and rewarded by the emperor, Concubine Li was so angry that she coughed violently for a while before she stopped.

She felt depressed and sour in her heart. In the two years she had been managing the harem, the emperor had never praised or rewarded her for her good management.

Bai Jieyu got what she had never gotten, which made her feel that she was not as good as Bai Jieyu in managing the harem.

Concubine Li, who had always wanted to be strong in her life, could not accept such a thing and designated Bai Jieyu as the second most hated person in the palace.

As for the most annoying person, it is naturally Concubine Leng.

Bai Jieyu became the person in charge of the harem, which made many ministers of the previous dynasty wonder whether the emperor valued her. After all, not everyone could manage the harem.

Some people who originally wanted to support Concubine Li as the queen were a little shaken. For several days in a row, guests came to Bai Yushi's house. Bai Yushi also looked like he was in high spirits during happy events, and the corners of his mouth were full of laughter anytime and anywhere. They were all raised and could not go down.
