Palace Concubine Policy: Invincible Queen

Chapter 715
"But now is not the time! Now that the national treasury is empty, where did the military expenses come from to fight the war? Isn't this just watching that rebellious son hand over the throne to others?" Namui was so angry that she almost burst into tears.

"It's useless for your empress to be so anxious now. Once the imperial decree is issued, it can't be changed. Your empress might as well find a way to help the emperor raise military expenses. It's a serious matter. You can't sit and wait for death, right?" Sister Lan reminded.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's useless for the Ai family to scold that rebellious son now. It's better to find a way to help that rebellious son raise more military expenses and let him give it a go. There may be a chance of survival." Namui thought of this Then he put down his chopsticks and left the dining table, "Xiao Rongzi, help the Ai family prepare the four treasures of the study. The Ai family needs to write invitations."

"Yes! The servant will do it immediately!" Sun Rongsheng, who had been daring to stay aside, quickly responded and went down to prepare.

"Lan'er, you immediately make an order for the Ai family: all the concubines, servants, etc. in the harem will be cut in half. All the treasures in the harem treasury will go to the national treasury. All the banquets to be organized in advance this year will be cancelled, and all palaces will not be repaired. , Daily necessities are not allowed to be purchased unless necessary. Aijia wants to save every penny for the emperor. Go!"

"Yes!" Sister Lan replied, and hurried to the House of Internal Affairs and the Sixth Court of Sangong to issue an order.

Xianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, just now the Empress Dowager issued a decree to reduce the expenses of all concubines and servants in the harem by half. And no banquets are allowed. Madam, do you want to let Shang be aware of the clothes and jewelry you want to wear on your birthday?" Can the palace bureau help with the preparations?" The court lady Bai He asked Concubine Li Gui carefully.

"What?! Originally, my expenses were not enough, and my father often had to help me a little bit, but now I have to cut the expenses by half again. Then let me live? And not let me organize a banquet, then my father What should I do about my birthday? The birthdays of the Empress and Concubine Sun Guifei have passed, of course they have no problem! If I don’t hold a birthday banquet this year, where will I put my face? In the future, the Empress and the others will step on the soles of their feet Next?" Concubine Li Gui raised her voice.

"But...but this is the imperial decree issued by the empress dowager." Lily said at a loss.
