Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 182

"No, it's rare for me to have a chance to rest. Your concubine will be tired for a while."

The queen opened one eye, said a few words, then pretended to be unconscious again, this time she didn't let Shu Ning say anything, and finally had to leave discouraged.

"Why? The queen is still unwilling?"

The emperor only looked at Shuning's depression, knowing that the empress rejected her again.

"Ah."

Sitting next to the emperor weakly, this palace affairs management is not troublesome, but it is very difficult.To deal with those old fritters in the palace, Shu Ning felt that her brain cells had died unknowingly, and it seemed that she lost more hair every day than before.

"Then love the concubine, let's hold on for a while longer! Since entering the palace, the empress really hasn't rested for a few days!"

There are so many affairs in the harem, other emperors can't be as trustworthy as the empress.Of course, now there is another person added, that is the imperial concubine.

"Okay, the emperor has said so, what else can I do?"

Shu Ning also knew that apart from letting the queen rest for a while, it was also for her to practice her skills.

She will be the mother of the prince in the future, so she can't even take care of palace affairs, can she?Now that we are familiar, how can we teach our daughter-in-law in the future?

Daughter-in-law?Well, the son hasn't been seen yet, so I'm thinking about my daughter-in-law.

Shu Ning is also drunk, but fortunately, people around the queen are helping with the palace affairs, and she also helps the Wang family manage the house at home. If you can live with people, it will not be difficult to manage this matter.

What's more, because she is not a queen, but she is favored by the emperor and knows the market.The act of buying two eggs for one tael of silver in the palace is unfeasible to her. Although Daxia’s palace is not so outrageous, an egg costs twenty or thirty renminbi, but in fact, the price in the capital is two renminbi. Although one egg is much more expensive than a penny or two in other places, it is definitely not as high as the purchase price in the palace.

If you are greedy for a little bit of Shuning, you still blink and just close your eyes. If you dare to buy an egg for two yuan, you can buy it for twenty or thirty yuan, so that is intolerable.And the emperor also said that if the palace can save a little, many disaster victims can be treated.If it were anything else, Shu Ning might not be able to do it, but when she heard that it was going to be used by the victims of the disaster, Shu Ning was so cruel!If they don't hand it over, they will hit the board, and if they don't say anything, their homes will be ransacked and they will be driven out of the palace.

Most of the buyers in the palace are eunuchs, if they leave the palace, if they don't return home, the ending is basically not very happy.In order not to be kicked out of the palace, and to not offend the current celebrities in the palace, those who were greedy for money gave everything they could.

Shu Ning didn't push people into a hurry, she just said that if she took out the embezzled money, she could leave the past behind, otherwise it would be easy to kick them out of the palace, and those who were too corrupt would be handed over to Ye Ting directly, hehe...

In addition to managing the training and distribution of court ladies and eunuchs, this Yeting also has another purpose, that is, to punish court ladies and eunuchs who committed crimes in the palace.Often these people, after returning to Houyeting, they were never seen in the palace again, including the lowest places like the Huanyi Bureau.

So once the hearing was handed back to Ye Ting, no one would dare to lie to the noble concubine unless it was someone who was really not afraid of death.

Now the imperial concubine's family dominates, and the empress is ill. The emperor will not care about the affairs of the harem, let alone the empress dowager.Before the imperial concubine took care of things, they were taken to beat them.

Because the queen is the mother of a country, she is held back by these people and cannot be rectified with great effort.But the imperial concubine is not, she is just a favorite concubine, it is normal for a favorite concubine to do anything, even if she kills some corrupt people.What's more important is that the censors of the previous dynasty can't say that what this favorite concubine did was wrong.Why?Because the imperial concubine converted all the saved silver and copied silver items into food supplies, and transported them to the disaster-stricken places to relieve the victims. Does the censor want to say that it is wrong for the imperial concubine to do so?

Last year, many provinces in the Great Xia Dynasty were hit by snowstorms. Many victims had no land to live in and no food to eat. The imperial concubine’s move was simply the arrival of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, which brought hope to the victims. Which censor dared to play a book on the imperial concubine, Tomorrow his house will be full of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.You have to be covered with sacks when you go out, and you may fall into the pit when you walk.

So at this time, even if the officials who are in collusion with these purchasers dare not stand up, who would dare to stand up for them at the expense of the world, and even accuse the imperial concubine and empress!Not only can they not come out to criticize, but they have to return the parts that were greedy before. They are also afraid of being brought out one by one.

So they were also afraid. The noble concubine's behavior was too unexpected, and she could turn around the situation that was originally unfavorable to her. In addition, there were people from Yongninghou and the Houfu who were good friends in the previous dynasty to help, and the noble concubine's behavior was completely ignored. , Anyway, they didn't take the money. As for the consequences for those who took it, the ministers said that they would discuss who should be placed in the vacant positions.

There are noble concubines on the top who are forcing their lives, and ministers on the bottom are thinking about their official positions. At this time, fools know how to choose.Anyway, the imperial concubine said, to return the silver that was greedy, she held it up high and put it down gently. Compared with the silver, the official position and life are more important.

"A total of 3506 million taels, and this is only the last ten years, and ten years ago, because the time is too far away, the concubine's fault is too much to pursue, so I can only let them go."

Shu Ning put the money she recovered in front of the emperor, even the emperor was shocked.

Originally, he thought that his harem was frugal enough. Compared with the previous several million a year's expenses, the current one-year expenses are only one million yuan a year, which is indeed a lot less.Who would have known that the noble concubine's move would actually find out several million taels of silver. This was still found out, so what about the ones that weren't found out?
The emperor's whole body is not well.

"My concubine, am I a fool?"

The emperor also knew that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, but there were millions of taels of silver!It is not known how many victims of disasters can be treated if it is used to relieve the victims.

The emperor always thought that they were not greedy. After all, the emperor allowed people to do things and take some benefits, but when the amount was so large that even the emperor was shocked, these people deserved to die.

"Leave these people alone. If they change, I will let them live to the end of their lives in peace. If they don't change..."

The emperor's words were not finished, but Shu Ning had already understood what he meant.
