Chapter 583 Saving Expenses

This relieved Meng Qianyan a lot.In this way, she would not worry that if something happened to Hua Lanyi, it would delay Luo Ziyan's handling of government affairs.

Then Meng Qianyan chose a sunny day and prepared a dinner party in the palace. All the daughters of the court and officials' families came to attend, and secretly asked Mo Geyi to choose a suitable son-in-law for Wei Lewan.

Mo Geyi's eyes are very poisonous, so he picked several people who looked pleasing to his eyes, and called them to him one by one for questioning.

In this way, Mo Geyi's thoughts are all put on the lifelong affairs of his children.

The empress dowager of the East Palace and the concubine of the West Palace will no longer have superficial discord.

In the entire palace, there was a peaceful situation.

In such a worry-free situation, Luo Ziyan devoted all his attention to handling government affairs.

Qiying assassinated Liu Zhiping's family according to his request, which greatly deterred the Xiongyan Kingdom.

Then, Luo Ziyan ordered to strengthen the defense of the frontier.

The Xiongyan Kingdom immediately became honest, and also sent many expensive gifts.

Under Luo Ziyan's governance, it can be said that in less than half a year, the whole Dahe has presented a scene of peace and prosperity.

Luo Ziyan saw this in his eyes and was delighted.

By the end of the year, he was not so busy.

At most, it is to deal with more memorials about Dahe's response to the severe cold weather.

"For some reason this year, there seems to be less snow."

In the cold wind, Hua Lanyi wore a thick fur cloak and walked on the road.

Behind her, Mu actually followed her, "Isn't that right, since the new emperor ascended the throne, it seems that the whole Dahe has followed the weather."

"Hehe." Hua Lanyi loved to hear these words, "Well, our emperor was sent by the gods in the sky."

"It's true, Weichen thinks so too. Weichen has been looking at the concubine for the past few months, and the complexion of the concubine seems to be getting better and better."

"Really." Hua Lanyi touched his cheek subconsciously, and some doubts flashed in his heart.

It seemed that she hadn't been so hungry in the middle of the night for many days.

I don't know why, but the problem left in the cold palace seems to be a little better.

Is it self-healing?
Hua Lanyi couldn't explain clearly either, and always vaguely felt that it was related to something.

But in detail, she couldn't tell.

Mu unexpectedly saw her in a daze, "Taifei, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, I didn't think about anything, I was just a little lost in thought. By the way, unexpectedly, there is something Aijia has been thinking about in his heart."

"Toffee is talking about the whereabouts of the Hua family, right?"

"Yes, Aijia has been telling the emperor that the emperor seems to be too busy, so he has not replied to Aijia."

Mu even smiled, "Hehe, concubine, you also like to worry too much, tell the concubine the truth, the task of finding the whereabouts of the Hua clan has been assigned by the emperor to my servant."

"It turned out to be you, so did you find out anything?"

In Mu Yuan's eyes, there was a deliberate smile.

"Mu Yuan, are you kidding Ai?" Hua Lanyi stomped her feet unhappily.

Mu Yuan said: "Okay, I don't want to hide the truth from the concubine anymore. In fact, this time I came to the palace to tell the concubine the good news."

"Have you found them?"

"Yes, I found it."

"That's great, but what about them? Did you bring them back to the capital?"

"Toffee, don't worry, just listen to what I told you. Back then, something happened to the Hua family, and you and your father all ended up miserable. The Hua family, it was the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. It has been more than 20 years now. gone."

Hua Lanyi was still very anxious, "So what? Didn't you say you've found it?"

"I found it, but I only found Xing Yun, the concubine's younger brother, and Xing Yun's body is not very sharp now."

Hua Lanyi frowned, "Then who else is around him?"

"When Weichen found him in a small town in Jingcheng in the south, he was selling letters for a living in the small town, and his life was relatively poor. According to what he told Weichen, he was secretly rescued by Hua Lao's cronies back then. In that small town, he married a girl and lived a life of ordinary people. Now, it is said that he has a son and a daughter. The son is named Lanying, and the daughter is named Blue as beautiful."

"Lan name?"

"That's right. At that time, the surname Hua was afraid that people would find out the clues, so it was the surname of the Lan family."

A little melancholy appeared on Hua Lanyi's face, "It seems that Xingyun's life has been very difficult these years. I'm so sorry for him. Unexpectedly, why didn't you bring him back to the capital? Tell him Ah, now that his nephew has become emperor, Fahrenheit's reputation has already been restored."

"Weichen said it, but it happened that he was not feeling well, so he wanted to wait until it was warmer tomorrow before coming here. Jingcheng is warmer than our country."

"So what if it's warm, where is our country in a small town? You, think of a way, no matter what, bring their family of four to the capital, and Aijia will let the emperor prepare a house for settlement!"

Hua Lanyi's request was strong and unquestionable, but there was nothing to do, "Okay, okay, my minister will set off for Jingcheng tomorrow."

"That's right, it's just right, you should leave the palace too, Ai's family goes to Chaofeng Hall to have a look, the emperor should be there."

Hua Lanyi acted quickly, and soon arrived at Chaofeng Hall, and told Luo Ziyan and Meng Qianyan that Hua Xingyun had found it.

Of course, Luo Ziyan was also happy to hear about his own uncle.At that time, he agreed to Hua Lanyi's request, and decreed to free up a house for the Hua family members to live in.

Hua Lanyi wanted to compensate her family well, so she asked herself to be responsible for the repair of the residence.

Luo Ziyan also agreed.

Mu actually went to Jingcheng, and it took about ten days to find out.

This is the time to decorate the palace with lanterns and festoons to prepare for the New Year.

The 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

Meng Qianyan nestled in the Chaofeng Hall holding the stove while listening to the steward reading the food and clothing expenses for this New Year's Eve from the book.

"Finally, adding the Queen Mother and Concubine of the Eastern and Western Palaces, the total silver used for this year's Chinese New Year is 6000 taels of silver."

"What?" Meng Qianyan frowned, "How can there be so much money?"

"Oh, empress, look at this book. It is clearly written. There are too many places to spend money." The official in charge sighed, "Just the princesses and concubines in the palace need to spend money." There are nearly 2 taels."

"Then how did you keep it in your notebook? It was a request from the toffees and princesses themselves."

"Yes, that's it."

"In this way, you go to communicate with their various palaces. Let's say, the emperor has been exempted from taxes for three years, and the treasury can't come in. Let them keep it simple. Except for necessary expenses, everything else will be erased to save expenses. That's it. Said, this is what I mean. It is best to reduce it to about [-] to [-] silver."

"This--"

"What's wrong? Difficulty?"

"Empress, you probably don't know everything. A lot of money has been spent. Especially the concubine's side, which has already spent nearly 2 taels of silver."
