The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 217 The incident happened, each has his own report

Concubine De Gui said, it's not right to pull the maid to leave, or not to leave, they all look at Queen Zhao.

Empress Zhao couldn't hide her hesitation, but she and Concubine Degui had never broken skin, and it was not easy to tangle with so many women outside the inner palace, so she forced herself to suppress her dissatisfaction, and turned to look at her: "Concubine De Gui, what's the matter? Are you trying to plead for this evil thing?"

Concubine Degui shook her head, and smiled gently: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The concubine is just confused. Miss Mu is entering the palace for the first time, and she has never had any grudges with the maids in the palace. She is very good-natured. How could this servant be so malicious?" ?”

Everyone thought about it carefully, and it really was the truth, and they all looked at the palace maid Bu Cai with surprise on their faces.

Empress Zhao hadn't seen the scene in the hall just now, she didn't know the cause of the incident, and she also felt that it was quite strange, so she immediately waved her hand and asked the eunuch to let go of the maid.

If the palace maid is granted amnesty, whether she can save her life is at this moment. Once she has her own life, she knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty: "Madam, this servant didn't intend to do this to Ms. Mu...it's...it was Ms. Zhao, she gave this servant three times. One hundred silver, let the servant do this. She also threatened the servant, if the servant refuses to obey, she will send the servant to the Punishment Department. Madam, please spare the servant!"

Before the words fell, everyone's eyes shot at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was proud of herself, how could she have expected that the servant girl would suddenly turn against her, pointed the finger at her, and stood up in a hurry: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your servant is not talking nonsense!" The maid said firmly, she took out a [-] bank note from her bosom and held it up in both hands: "This is given to this servant by Miss Zhao's sister Ruyi behind Miss Zhao."

Empress Zhao was so angry that her lips trembled, and she asked her personal maid to go forward to get it, and it really was a bank note.She also knows the virtues of her niece, not to mention spending money lavishly, and always likes to bully others. She used to let her go. What is the occasion today, how can she be allowed to be so nonsense?

But thinking about Zhao Yilong, Zhao Yan's grandfather, he is now the strongest support of the third prince, this punishment really cannot be severe...

While she was thinking, Nangong Jin sneered again: "Empress, you are the mother of a country, and you have always been tolerant in governing the harem. It is inevitable that there will be young people who don't pay attention to the palace rules. This slave girl's crime is not a big deal. Wrong, it's just..." She said with dark eyes and murderous intent.

Empress Zhao was stunned: "Just what?"

"It's just that the queen's mother is in charge of this inner palace. I don't know when the general will let an outsider boss around?" Nangong Jin said, her gaze fell on Zhao Yan coldly.

These words were harsh enough, and they had deeply touched Queen Zhao's bottom line.No matter how much the queen dotes on Zhao Yan, she will never allow her to seek her own power.

Empress Zhao couldn't hide her disappointment and anger, she slapped the table and stood up: "You guys have such good tricks and tricks that you almost deceived me too! Miss Mu is today's honored guest, Zhao Yan, you are so blatant If you hurt her, you hurt my royal dignity. It’s because the Japanese Palace is too arrogant and pampered you, making you feel unreasonable! You don’t have to participate in today’s banquet, and you will leave the palace immediately and go back to the house to be locked up for two months. I know when I will report back to this palace again! Someone, drag this daring slave out to me and kill him with a rod, otherwise everyone will think that this inner palace has no rules."

She lost her temper, then turned to look at Mu Yunge, and said with airs: "Miss Mu was wronged today, it's all my fault..."

Xiao Shi and Mu Yunge hurriedly stood up, Xiao Shi knelt down and said: "The empress is worrying a lot, and Yunge is a blessing for her to be cared for by her. There are so many maids and maids in the inner palace, it is inevitable that there are some young people hiding there. Blame it on the empress?"

These words were impeccable, and very sensible, Empress Zhao's face turned pale: "You are pregnant, please sit down."

The left and right hurriedly helped Xiao Shi up, Xiao Shi thanked her, and Empress Zhao turned to the maidservant behind her: "Go and get the tungsten gold necklace with five phoenix hairpins from my palace, and give it to Miss Mu."

Mu Yunge lifted the hem of the skirt and walked into the hall, knelt down and replied loudly: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness, but firstly, the maids can't wear a bun before they reach the hairpin, and the five phoenix hairpins probably won't be used; secondly, the courtiers have no rank , Untitled courtiers and female relatives, Wufeng hairpins are only eligible to be worn by first-rank imperial concubines, ministers and daughters dare not go beyond, and please take it back."

"You are an observant person. It is my negligence." After being reminded by her, Empress Zhao also nodded: "There are many grades in the palace, and it is indeed inconvenient to reward. Come, I will give you a reward." Take two bolts of ice silk newly offered by Jiangnan this year, and give them to Miss Mu."

This time it was reasonable, Mu Yunge didn't dare to shirk, thanked him respectfully, and returned to his original position.

Zhao Yan was led by the eunuch, and left the Rongying Hall aggrievedly. She saw the bustle and bustle of the male guests from a distance, and vaguely heard Wei Shi loudly praising Emperor Wu's new horse bow, and she felt indescribably sad.

Two months of confinement, it seems that this year's Anshan autumn will not be able to go!

Thinking that she couldn't see Wei Shi's valiant and heroic posture, Zhao Yan's hatred for Mu Yunge more than doubled...

Zhao Yan left, Mu Yunge got the reward, Nan Gongjin praised Queen Zhao a few more times, and Queen Zhao asked her to sit down.After a storm passed, the banquet was peaceful until the evening.

On the way back to the mansion from the Mu family, Mu Zhizhao heard about the banquet.The daughter's hands were full of ferocity, he couldn't help but support Mu Yunge's wrist with distress, and said angrily: "The Zhao family is too bullying, when did we offend them, let her young lady trample us Yunge like this!"

"I've been offended a long time ago." Mu Yunge said with a faint smile: "The third prince placed Aunt Qiao in the mansion, Aunt Qiao was cut off, and the Zhao family lost their troops after paying for their wife. Naturally, they don't like the Mu family."

"That's because they made mistakes first!" Mu Zhizhao was even more angry: "Can you blame us?"

Mu Yunge shook his head and sighed, his father has already stepped into the imperial court, how could he be so naive?

She had no choice but to explain patiently: "The Zhao family is at fault, but who in the world knows? However, Zhao Yan didn't embarrass me because of Aunt Qiao's affairs. She was just narrow-minded and wanted to find an excuse to make trouble."

"She didn't provoke her, why is she..." Mu Zhizhao knew everything about the court, but his daughter couldn't figure it out.

Mu Jinran pouted beside him and said, "Is it for brother Yuwang?"

It was too late for Mu Yunge to cover his mouth, Xiao Shi and Mu Zhizhao's gazes fell on her, so she could only say: "Zhao Yan has been in love with King Yu for many years, His Highness King Yu was in Biling Academy in Jinling Having been a husband, congratulating my daughter on her birthday, and helping the Mu family get rid of crimes, Zhao Yan attributed all these to her daughter's fault."

Mu Zhizhao let out an "oh" and fell silent.

Xiao's thoughts were delicate, thinking of the radiant Yu Wang, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "So, His Highness Yu Wang still has some connections with you. Could it be...he came to Jinling just for you?"

Mu Yunge was startled, she didn't expect Xiao Shi to be so sensitive, and she discovered the connection right away.Fortunately, she had already cultivated a calm complexion, and she didn't show any clues.

On the contrary, Mu Zhizhao sneered: "You, you are still as naive as before. Who is King Yu, and how old is Yun Ge, would he like Yun Ge?"

"Why don't you like it? I don't think Yun Ge is worse than anyone else!" Xiao Shi couldn't get used to these words, and became unhappy.

Mu Zhizhao didn't dare to say any more, he lowered his head and smiled sullenly.

Xiao thought about it, and felt that it was impossible, not to mention the high status of Yu Wang, who has seen all the springs in the world, but said that although her daughter is beautiful, she is still too young... Although she thinks that her daughter is worthy of anyone If she is qualified, considering Yu Wang's family and appearance, no matter how satisfied she is, she can only give up.

As soon as he returned to Mu's house, Mu Zhizhao went straight to the study.

At the palace banquet today, Emperor Wu inadvertently mentioned that the war in the north was urgent, and his eyes seemed to sweep to him with deep meaning.

Mu Zhizhao is also a person who has been in the mall for many years. The emperor can understand the mind after a little thought, and immediately goes out to ask for orders, willing to share the emperor's worries.Emperor Wu was overjoyed, and agreed to the Mu family to donate money on the spot, and allowed him to act cheaply.

Mu Zhi went back to the mansion to think carefully, and felt that Emperor Wu had deep thoughts, and since he allowed him to act cheaply, the implication of his words was not as simple as asking the Mu family to donate money.What Emperor Wu meant was probably to ask him to unite wealthy merchants from the north and the south of the capital, so that everyone could collect firewood like a flame, so that they could get together the military salaries needed by the army at once.

After understanding the key points, Mu Zhizhao is of course going to do something.Guanshi Xu stayed in Jinling, and Guanshi Long from the Jinling branch of Mu's family is now following around Mu's family. He immediately recruited Guanshi Long and asked him to prepare dozens of invitations, which must be sent to the residences of all the rich merchants tonight.

Steward Long took the invitation and was about to go out when he happened to meet Mu Yunge who came out of the main courtyard. He knew that this young lady was actually the owner of the shop in Mu's family. When Mu Yunge asked, he explained everything .

After Mu Yunge listened to it, he asked him to do it quickly, while he went to the study.

"Father, the emperor asked you to raise military pay, what is your plan?" Mu Yunge asked straight to the point.

Mu Zhizhao said: "The emperor meant to ask the rich merchants to donate their family property. I originally wanted to transfer the money from Jinling directly and allocate 50 taels of silver to the emperor. After thinking about it, I felt that this was very inappropriate. If The Mu family took out 50 taels of silver so easily, not only would it fail to please the emperor, but it would also bring disaster and arouse the emperor's suspicion. The most frightening thing is that if you give 50 taels this time, then next time, next time , the emperor will still think of the Mu family, and will ask for more, so endless, there will always be a day when the Mu family can't afford it, and the head will fall to the ground sooner or later. Are you right?"

"Father is very thoughtful, it's my daughter who is worrying too much." Mu Yunge breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as she heard about it, she was afraid that father would give all the money Emperor Wu wanted all at once.

Mu Zhizhao said with a smile: "So Dad thinks, since the Emperor gave Dad privileges, there is no need to use them for nothing. Anyway, the Emperor's purpose of relocating wealthy businessmen from the north and south is so obvious. Everyone knows what the Emperor means at the banquet today. I will come to ask for it, not only No one refuses to give, I'm afraid everyone will give more, just ask me to say something nice in front of the emperor!"

Mu Yunge blinked: "Jiang is old and spicy, but dad is amazing!"

"You, don't give your father the ecstasy soup. Let me tell you, I'm very busy now, and I don't have time to worry about these miscellaneous things. Starting tomorrow, you have to help your father, and be a Mu family running around to change the illusion of selling property. Your Majesty, look. Dad, let's focus on raising money!" Mu Zhizhao pinched her face, and his pampering was beyond words: "I've been tired all day, go and rest, Dad is going out!"

Mu Yunge's heart dropped when he mentioned it, he smiled, and returned to Ningbi Pavilion briskly.

After washing up, she lay on the bed with all her clothes on and read "National Policy". It wasn't that she wasn't sleepy, but she was just waiting for some news.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long. When people in the capital began to turn off the lights and go to bed, Peiying came from outside and said solemnly: "Miss, Jingzhao Yin's mansion has taken the yamen servants out, the dirty things in Kong Lianxi's other courtyard , but I can no longer hide it!"
