My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 106

Until the evening, almost all those who gave gifts to the central palace had come, and the side hall of Wan Qixiao's central palace was also packed to the brim.The gifts are all beautifully packaged, and there is no reason for them to be seen from the outside.Wan Qixiao flipped through it casually, some were gold and silver jewellery, some were silk brocades, some were house title deeds, some were top-quality medicinal materials, and occasionally some rare and exotic treasures.Wan Qixiao lost interest after turning over a dozen.

Asking Yunxia to dig out a few boxes containing jewels, and dump all kinds of jewels on the big red lacquered round table, Wan Chengxiao picked out some eye-catching ones, and then asked Yunxia to summon all the attendants in the middle palace, Go forward to pick out one you like in order of grade, and it can be regarded as a reward from the empress for the Chinese New Year.

It can be seen that Wan Qixiao's generous reward made these court ladies and eunuchs very excited, all of them blushed, and their eyes were shining brightly. If it weren't for the concern that Wan Qixiao was in front of them, they would probably scream.

After the reward was distributed, Wan Qixiao asked Yunxia to order people to collect all the leftovers and throw them into the warehouse to bury them in the dust. Then he heard the news from outside that the New Year's Eve dinner was about to begin.

The New Year's Eve dinner is a custom that every family will gather together for a reunion dinner, not to mention the Great Qin, Chu, Eastern Jin and other countries have this custom.Royal is no exception.

The royal New Year's Eve banquet is where the emperor and the queen sit at the top, and the concubines sit down in order on both sides. On the red carpet in the middle, a group of beautiful dancers sing and dance, and there are also clowns who rap and joke, similar to For language jokes such as cross talk and so on.The whole family talked and laughed together, watching songs and dances, talking and laughing, and meeting each other in the hall, and it was also a pleasure to meet each other.

At this time, everyone will not mention any political or state affairs, public or private enmity, or personal grievances. Even people who usually have old grudges will flatter and flatter each other with a smile on their faces, making the atmosphere harmonious.

After Wan Qixiao thought about it again and again, he decided to put Sima Ce's matter aside for now. Now is really not a good time.A New Year's Eve dinner lasted until Youshi, and then gradually ended under Qin Xian's overwhelming drunkenness.

Wan Qixiao didn't drink much, and when he came back, he asked Yunxia to prepare the red envelope for tomorrow, and then fell asleep.Because there is still quite tiring work tomorrow morning... to meet the wife.Empress is a very tiring job, the first day of the new year is almost completely not my own, from morning to night I use it to meet women with a certain status in the country.

In the early morning of the new year, Wan Qixiao was woken up early by Yun Xia, tidied up, and just sat down when he heard the eunuch Xiao Zuozi shouting in a high voice: "Yuchi Concubine Yang Guifei leads the concubines in the palace to greet the empress... ..."

"Xuan." Wan Chengxiao rubbed his face and made a smile, Xuan joined the concubines and started her hard life on the first day of the new year.

There are a lot of people coming to pay their respects during the New Year, and they are divided into harem concubines according to batches.Of course Wan Qixiao is gone.

That's why Wan Chengxiao freed up a short period of time around three o'clock in the afternoon.I wanted to go to Xianglong Palace to talk to Qin Xian about Sima Ce, but it turned out that Qin Xian was much busier than her. Outside Xianglong Palace, the queue waiting to be received by the emperor had already reached Tsinghua Palace...

Wan Chengxiao looked at the dark dragon, thought for two seconds, and immediately decided to give up.How will Wan Chengxiao spend the extra precious time?Needless to say, of course she slipped out of the palace to go to her dock again to give out red envelopes to the staff.With a stack of bank notes in his arms, Wan Qixiao ran all the way to the Nanshi Dock on the empty street.

The employees in the dock have lived here for generations, so there is no hometown to go back to. Naturally, they all stayed in the dock on the first day of the new year to celebrate the New Year with each other.Of course, there are also employees who work in the harbor to work overtime during the New Year, but their wages have increased by five times, and everyone is still scrambling to get there.

When Wan Qixiao arrived there, it happened that every family had finished receiving New Year's greeting guests, and they moved the coffee table together to come out to bask in the sun and eat melon seeds, so as soon as Wan Qixiao stepped into the dock, he was seen by sharp-eyed people.Everyone stood up one after another, greeted the big boss, and even more cleverly rushed in to report to Qin Junren and Yunshang.

"Big boss, Happy New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai, bring the red envelope!" Immediately, a five or six-year-old clever ghost hugged Wan Qixiao's thigh and begged for the red envelope in a childish voice.

Wan Chengxiao poked his chubby little face funnyly, and took out a ten tael silver note from his pocket and gave it to him: "Here, don't spend the lucky money indiscriminately."

"Thank you, big boss! I wish the big boss and Zuoxiang Shushu and Yuanyuan hugged each other when, and the ducks are watching the fun..." The little ghost ran away with a smile.

The corner of Wan Qixiao's mouth twitched.no?They were still thinking about Qin Xian's impostor, Hu Qingying, who came to pick her up?Uh... so in the eyes of these people, she has always been Hu Qingying's male favorite...

Wan Qixiao was devastated.

"Big Boss, Big Boss, and me, and me... I wish the Big Boss and Zuo Xiangshu will grow old together... raise your eyebrows... give birth to a precious son early... full of children and grandchildren..." A large group of children gathered around you to say something to each other , Even the early born Takako came out.

Wan Qixiao distributed the New Year's money indiscriminately, tears streaming down his face.

She and Hu Qingying are really innocent... woo woo woo

In the end, it was Qin Junren who rescued her.

He just said a word: "Don't make trouble." Then all the little ghosts who got the New Year's money dispersed, laughing and playing in the mud.

Wan Qixiao was dragged away by Qin Junren and dragged into the study, he really admired Qin Junren in his heart.Qin Junren is actually not much older than those children, only two or three years older, but he can drive the little devils away with a single word, and make them submissive, but she can only be treated by those The kid's "children's words" bullying... This is the gap!
Qin Junren dragged Wan Qixiao into the study, closed the door, let Wan Qixiao sit down, poured her a cup of good tea, and then routinely reported the development of the dock.

"This year's shipyard is developing very well. From the dock to the present, after continuous improvement, the production process has improved a lot, and the product quality and speed have also been greatly improved. The Daqin ship market has now been initially opened, and now ship reservations have already begun. In the second half of the year, it is expected that after the market is fully opened, the bookings for ships will be full for more than a year. But considering that ships are long-term use tools, I don’t think it is necessary to expand the dock. Only limited quantities can effectively maintain the price, otherwise the dock If there are too many ships, unsalable ships will only cause bad price cuts and lead to losses. The net income of the dockyard after paying all salary red envelopes by the end of this year is 4000 taels of silver. Although the income is not even a fraction of the income of the city that never sleeps, it It is the basic technical guarantee for harbor business. The part of the city that never sleeps on the water has developed particularly rapidly this year, and the balance at the end of the year surprised everyone. In just a few months, the net income was 1609 million taels of silver! This is simply a cornucopia! When the shipyard sells ships, we have been deliberately erasing the sales of super large commercial ships to ensure the monopoly of the domestic water industry. Now that the shipyard is guaranteed, only we can open the city that never sleeps on the water! Therefore, I suggest that the money should be invested in new production and donated to the surrounding people. The city expands the harbor business, and develops our water city that never sleeps all over Daqin!"
