MTL - The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon-Chapter 65 066: The emperor is not easy to deal with
Chapter 65 066: The emperor is not easy to deal with
Song Yunzhao collected the silver, calculated her own small treasury, plus the subsidy from her father, it was actually very rich.
But for a concubine like her who has a whole family of people, the expenses are still quite high, not to mention that in this palace, besides the regular dishes, if you want to eat well, you have to use your own money to go to the imperial dining room to order a small stove. If you don’t want to spend money, you can only eat the regular dishes.
The menu of regular dishes is rotated every season, so that anyone who eats it for years will get tired of eating.
Basic food, housing, and transportation cost money for everything. Others see the beauty of being a concubine, but they don't know the bitterness of it. Just like clothes and jewelry, there are normal supplies of clothes according to the position throughout the year, but there are also four sets of outerwear, four sets of underwear, and shoes and socks in each season.
For people like Song Yunzhao, if they want to be beautiful in front of the emperor every day, they can’t turn over and over again the clothes and jewelry, so they have to spend extra money to do it. These expenses are invisible, but they still cost a lot.
Why do many people sharpen their heads and go to the Liushang Bureau as errands, because there is really a lot of trouble there.
Song Yunzhao is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. She doesn't intend to contribute to the Liushang Bureau. There was some discord before, so she is ready to grab the emperor's wool.
"The emperor is here!"
Song Yunzhao was taken aback for a moment, he really said that Cao Cao had arrived, and he was thinking of him, and here he came. Immediately got up to greet her, fortunately she did not rest, the clothes on her body were very decent.
Out of the dormitory, as soon as she entered the Ming room, she saw the emperor strode in. She hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Concubine pays homage to the emperor,"
Feng Yi came to Wangyou Palace for the first time after Song Yunzhao moved in, "Get up, I'm passing by, so I'll come and see you."
Song Yunzhao rolled his eyes, and immediately showed a surprised smile, "Really? Concubine, thank the emperor for thinking about it. It's really a happy thing."
Feng Yi looked sideways at Yun Zhao when he heard the words, "Is that so happy?"
"Of course, it is a very happy thing to be remembered by others." Song Yunzhao said solemnly.
Feng Yi recalled how Song Yunzhao was treated harshly by the Cai family when he was in the Song family, and thought she would be in a bad mood today, but unexpectedly she was not bad.
It is indeed a happy thing to be missed by others, and to be remembered by others.
What seems normal to others is rare for him and Song Yunzhao.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi couldn't help but think of the queen mother who was still in Bieyuan, and his brows and eyes were a little gloomy.
"Sit down and talk." Feng Yi said after taking his seat, pointing to the seat opposite.
Song Yunzhao sat down as she said, and she could feel that the emperor's mood was a little different after she said that sentence.
Of course she will feel differently. She is as pitiful as the emperor in some aspects. Such words can resonate.
The first step in falling in love is to find the common ground between the two parties, to have the same topic, to have a sense of identity, and to have resonance.
This kind of relationship is different, and it cannot be easily inserted by others.
Feng Yi raised his head, and saw Yun Zhao was looking at him with a pair of big eyes, and subconsciously asked: "What are you looking at?"
"The emperor looks good."
"Nonsense!" Feng Yi glared at Song Yunzhao, he is the king of a country, how could he talk to him with slightly frivolous words.
Song Yunzhao doesn't believe a word. Although Feng Yi has been on the throne for five years, but he is only 20 years old, he is a young man in his youth. She doesn't believe that he feels dissatisfied, who doesn't like being praised for being handsome.
"I'm telling the truth, there are bandits and gentlemen, who are as sharp as cutting, and as sharp as grinding. In my heart, the emperor's dragon and phoenix are as bright as a jade tree, and no one can match."
Feng Yi:...
He felt that Song Yunzhao might not be conscious right now.
But being praised so much by her, I can't help but feel a little proud. The only advantage is probably that my eyes are not bad.
"Your Majesty, don't you believe me, I can eat three bowls of rice in your face."
"What?"
"Let's have dinner."
Feng Yi was silent, he didn't quite understand, but he didn't speak.
Song Yunzhao said happily: "Others have food to eat, but I don't need to. I just have the emperor. You see how important you are to me."
Feng Yi can't go up and down at a stretch, thank you so much, I don't need it anymore.
Song Yunzhao made the emperor feel good. The more he got in touch with the emperor, the more he found that he was really different from the book. The emperor in the book was steady, patient and cautious, but the one in front of her was a little cute, making her feel a little guilty for teasing others.
Ami tofu.
Feng Yi felt that he shouldn't have come, so he got up and was about to leave, but he heard Song Yunzhao say again: "Thank you, the emperor, for the reward. Otherwise, if I saw that my family didn't give them a gift today, it would not only embarrass me, but also embarrass your majesty. Fortunately, your majesty is thoughtful. I am so touched by your concern for me."
Feng Yi sat back on his **** that was about to lift up, and said with a frown, "Did the Liushang Bureau detain you?"
"No." Song Yunzhao smiled. They wanted to, but she didn't give them a chance. As for the embarrassment of the Department of Clothes Bureau, other people have to think about how to offend her, so as not to be beaten back by her.
She is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, looking at the concubine who is soaring in a rocket.
Although her favorite concubine is very imaginary and the emperor didn't sleep, she already has a plan.
Thinking about how Concubine Shu in the book took on a false name in vain, and they were still the ones who kept their hands tightly shut, I found it very funny.
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao suspiciously, "Then why don't you have anything to reward?"
Song Yunzhao was taken aback for a moment. She carefully observed the emperor's expression and found that he was really surprised.
Thinking for a while with downcast eyes, I suddenly understood, looked up at the emperor, and said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "The emperor doesn't know the suffering of a concubine, I'm just a noble concubine, and the things I have to spare are pitifully small, and I can barely use it myself. How can there be any extra to reward others?"
"few?"
"Yes."
Seeing that the emperor didn't quite believe it, Song Yunzhao didn't talk nonsense to her, got up and went into the bedroom, took out his dowry box and put it on the table.
She opened the first floor and said: "Your concubine has two sets of red gold inlaid treasures, six jade hairpins of various colors, six pairs of hairpins, temple inserts, combs, and pearl hairpins, six pairs of earrings of various colors, and accessories such as bracelets, rings, and necklaces. Even if I have a full dozen, my dowry box is not full. You say, there is no extra reward for matching these."
Where did the emperor pay attention to these before, and he became interested for a while, "Is this not enough?"
How many heads does she have, and she needs to wear so many jewelry?
"How can it be used? I can't wear the same one every day. I don't bother myself, but you will be annoyed if you see me always changing my appearance." Song Yunzhao deliberately put on an angry look, "Don't we all rely on one face as a concubine? Is this face beautiful for no reason? It has to be dressed up."
Hearing this, Feng Yi suddenly remembered that the last time Xuan Xuan went to **** her, her dress was indeed different from now.
"Furthermore, besides these, there are rouge gouache and silk and satin. These are all used less. For someone like me who loves to dress up, the monthly rouge and gouache is not enough. If those silk and silk are not made by others, will they become clothes by themselves? Ask the Department of Clothing Bureau to help make clothes, so it doesn't cost money?"
Feng Yi sounded interested, "It makes sense."
Song Yunzhao:…
Wool is not easy to squeeze, and the emperor is not easy to deal with.
Seeing that Song Yunzhao stopped talking, Feng Yi immediately urged: "Go on."
It turns out that there are so many tricks in the Liushang Bureau. He didn't know it before, because no one told him about these trivial things.
Song Yunzhao took a deep breath, kept smiling, and then continued: "My salary is only 260 taels a year, and 21 taels a month. This amount of money is not enough to reward people, let alone ask people to buy rouge for clothes and jewelry. Your Majesty, I am really struggling."
Feng Yi finally understood when he heard the last sentence, it was crying poor with him.
Yes, he can really do it.
In the past few years since he took the throne, he has cried a lot with him, but they are all old oily people in the court.
Song Yunzhao is the number one concubine!
If you don’t listen, you don’t know. After hearing this, it seems that Song Yunzhao’s life is really not easy.
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao and said with a stern face: "The palace has its own rules. I can't give you a monthly salary increase. Isn't that a mess? Song Guifei, others can use it, so save yourself and don't waste money. I still have official duties, so let's take a step first, and you should rest well."
Feng Yi walked away, Song Yunzhao was dumbfounded.
This is really an iron cock!
Zhang Maoquan rushed to follow His Majesty to Wangyou Palace this time, and he didn't even let Meng Jiuchang stare at him. Fortunately, he came, otherwise, how could he hear such a big show.
Concubine Song Gui is really talented. Which of the concubines in the harem lives on a monthly salary, unless they are from a bad family background.
Like Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Wan, even An Fangyi, whom the emperor dislikes, like Zhao Liangren, Qin Cainu and others who are in the cold palace, live a comfortable life because of money from their families.
Zhang Maoquan thought His Majesty would be angry, but the corners of His Majesty's lips were raised when he left Wangyou Palace. He really didn't understand what His Majesty thought.
However, this is also Song Guibi's ability. She can still make the emperor happy by saying such things. This talent is extraordinary. He has to learn from it and sit on the throne of the first chief executive as soon as possible.
Back to Tai Chi Palace, Feng Yi laughed more and more as he thought about it, why couldn't he see Song Yunzhao's little thoughts, he just wanted to tease her.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Maoquan and said, "Go get a box of golden beans and send it to Concubine Song." After a pause, she remembered that she gave the jewelry she gave to her family, and added, "Find a box of jewelry from the library and add it."
"Yes, I will go now." Zhang Maoquan clicked his tongue in his heart. He thought that His Majesty ran away from Wangyou Palace because he didn't want to spend money, and he would get more rewards after his affection returned.
It's still Song Guipin who has the ability to dare to complain bravely, and he can be rewarded after complaining. Anyway, this is the first time he has seen him, and he has learned a lot.
Zhang Maoquan wanted to sell it to Concubine Song, so he opened His Majesty's private treasury, picked out two big boxes, carried them to Wangyou Palace, and ordered them out in front of Concubine Song. After being thanked by Concubine Song, he left happily.
A good man can't be done in vain, Song Guibi remembers his love.
Song Yunzhao was almost blinded by the big box of golden beans, and when he opened the box of jewelry, the impact was much smaller. The jewelry was quite satisfactory, and it was all available for her status, so it wasn't too brilliant.
Compared in this way, Jindouzi still wins her heart more.
Sure enough, you can't be too concerned about your face. If you don't cry, where will you get rewards?
Is she asking for a reward?
of course.
But most importantly, let the emperor know that she is having a hard time!
Why don't others cry about being poor? It's because there is a family helping to send money. She is uncomfortable because the Song family doesn't have much spare money to support her.
Comparing this up and down, the impression of the Song family's incorruptibility fell in the emperor's heart.
Killing three birds with one stone, Song Yunzhao was delighted.
As for her income from royalties, this is the private money she earned on her own. She has her little vest tightly covered, so the emperor cannot know about it.
After all, she had to write a script for the emperor to read.
Xiangxue and the others looked at His Majesty and rewarded Master, all with smiles on their faces, it is a good thing that Master is treated favorably by His Majesty.
New concubines who have entered the palace, others have not yet received a reward, and this is the second time for their master, so they have a lot of face.
The palace was very lively for several days in a row. The new concubines in the palace were busy meeting their family members, and there was no one to make a fuss for a while. Song Yunzhao had a very quiet life for a few days.
During this period of time, the emperor did not announce her to accompany him, nor did he stay overnight in the harem. He just went to the palace of Concubine Shu and the others to drink tea every few days before leaving.
Therefore, some people began to spread the news that Song Yunzhao fell out of favor. After all, the emperor went to the third concubine instead of Wangyou Palace.
Song Yunzhao had a faint feeling that the emperor was going to make trouble, but she just didn't move, and stayed in Wangyou Palace when she had nothing to do.
After Feng Yi found out: ...
She is so lazy!
Song Yunzhao looked at the scripts happily. Yes, the scripts written by others that she bought for her from outside the palace were all popular in the capital recently.
It is not good to work behind closed doors. She has to keep up with the trend of the times, grasp the central idea, and try her best to ensure that her words cannot be divorced from the foundation of the masses.
Is she easy?
Besides, it is true that she is willing to be a pioneer for the emperor, but if she does not grab the heroine, the garbage sweeper will be fine.
Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao thought of the box of golden beans and jewelry again, felt guilty for some reason, and had to do something to fool him.
Thinking of this, he called out, "Xiangxue."
"The servant is here." Xiangxue came in immediately, "Master, what are your orders?"
"I heard that the Imperial Garden is very lively recently?" Song Yunzhao asked.
Xiangxue said: "That is to say, the master doesn't like to go out. In this weather, everyone is willing to go to the garden to cool off, so there will naturally be more people."
"Changing clothes, dressing up, let's go for a walk too." Song Yunzhao got up and sat in front of the dressing table with a smile.
Xiangxue immediately called Shi Zhu in, and asked her to pick out clothes for her master, while she began to untangle her hair and comb a new bun, with the jade comb slipping in her hand, she said as she combed, "I will give you a single-snail bun today, it looks nice and refreshing."
Song Yunzhao thought for a while, "That's fine."
Single snail bun is a hair style that picks up the face, and her face can bear it. Generally, if the face is not perfect, wearing this kind of hair bun is quite a disaster, and it doesn't look good.
Xiangxue quickly combed her hair and put on the hairpin. Song Yunzhao looked in the mirror very satisfied.
Xiangxue put on makeup for her master again. It was not easy to apply too much powder on such a hot day. Fortunately, the master had a fair complexion, so she applied a light layer to outline the eyebrows, lightly swept her cheeks with the prepared peach blossom powder, and finally applied rouge on her lips.
Song Yunzhao is more than satisfied. Xiangxue has such skillful hands, so many people want to have them, and she is very good at aesthetics, and she can innovate after learning from her, which is amazing.
She taught her her own make-up tricks, and taught her how to do it. Now she is relieved. She heard from Shi Zhu that when Xiangxue was not working, she used rouge to make up in her room, and worked hard in private.
Who doesn’t like such smart and motivated subordinates, so this time Yun Zhaoding rouge gouache, set a little more points, and gave them all points.
When they are happy, they will work **** errands, and when their hearts are united, it is not easy to be a traitor. Spend a little money and save big things.
Money is something that you don’t bring with you when you die. It’s better to spend it while you’re alive than to keep money after you’re dead.
Shi Zhu came over with a light yellow dress in her arms, "Master, how about this outfit?"
The tender color of goose yellow is suitable for her age, and it will be difficult to wear it after a few years, Song Yunzhao nodded.
Change your clothes and take a selfie in the mirror, beautiful!
Song Yunzhao showed up this time with Qingfengyu, Xiangxue and Shizhu were on duty last night, so they just left them to rest.
Anshun was cleaning up the courtyard with a few servants. Seeing Song Yunzhao rushing forward to pay respects, he handed over the errand to others and followed suit himself.
"Master, where are we going?" Yulu asked excitedly.
"Where is the crowd going?" Song Yunzhao went to see Anshun.
Anshun immediately said: "There are many people in the West Garden."
Song Yunzhao nodded, "Then go to the West Garden."
Although Anshun doesn't talk much, she is very reliable in her work, and she is very satisfied with just inquiring about news.
A group of people are walking towards the West Garden, why is the West Garden so busy?
Because the heroine is in the West Palace, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang are in the West Palace, and the East Palace was originally lively with Concubine Chu, but Concubine Chu died of illness, and there was only one Concubine Wan who didn’t like to join in the fun, so the East Palace is now a little quiet.
The entire harem is divided into east and west palaces based on the Changle Palace where the empress lived.
As far as the imperial garden of the Forbidden City is concerned, speaking from the east end, if the voice is louder, the west end can be heard clearly, it is indeed very small.
It is different here. The two imperial gardens in the East Palace and West Palace are real imperial gardens, at least three or four larger than the Qing Imperial Gardens.
The entire harem palace is hidden among mountains, rocks, flowers and plants. It is really beautiful, and it is worthy of the world in the book.
Anyway, there is not such a layout in reality. If it is not like this layout, how can we meet the emperor by chance, crash with the emperor, deliberately fall in front of the emperor, and fall into the water and feed the fish.
For Gong Dou, the author also took great pains.
Admiring the scenery and watching flowers all the way, I slowly arrived at the West Garden. Not long after I entered, I heard talking and laughing.
Passing around the rockery, it suddenly opened up. Many people sat in the octagonal pavilion in the distance. Everyone held a fan, or a plantain fan, or a round fan.
As soon as Song Yunzhao stepped onto the corridor, before entering the pavilion, the people in the pavilion couldn't help laughing when they saw her.
Song Yunzhao lifted his feet up the steps, then walked in, and saw Concubine Shu sitting at the top, she had a three-tailed phoenix hairpin on her temples, the phoenix spread its wings and was about to fly, with thin golden tassels hanging down to the ears, it was really imposing.
Sitting next to Concubine Shu is Concubine Zhuang. Compared to Concubine Shu who is bright and flamboyant, Concubine Zhuang is more mature and dignified. What's more, she has always been known as a virtuous and virtuous woman, so she naturally doesn't take the route of coquettish and cheap.
"Concubine pays respects to Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang." Song Yunzhao stepped forward to salute.
Concubine Shu's eyes fell on Song Yunzhao's body and she couldn't help frowning. Looking at her tender face that could pinch water, she was even more disturbed. She was in a bad mood and wanted to find fault. She said lightly: "Why did Concubine Song Gui come out today? Since entering the palace, it is not easy to see you."
Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Qin Xiyue and others sitting around were silent. Song Yunzhao, the new concubine who entered the palace, has always been the only one, so she was more or less hated.
Han Jinyi is not here, and there is no one to speak for her at this time.
Song Yunzhao lights the wax for herself, she is not very popular.
As long as there is no intention of sharing, it is impossible for her to make many friends in this palace.
Song Yunzhao saw that Concubine Shu had no intention of letting her get up, so he stood up directly, and then said, "My concubine likes to be quiet and doesn't like to join in the fun, so she seldom comes out to visit the garden. If Concubine Shu wants to see her concubine, she can order someone to pass a message. It's not easy to say."
Song Yunzhao stabbed back neither soft nor hard, you are not a queen, who would kowtow to you every day, she dares to go, does she dare to accept?
Everyone's eyes fell on Song Yunzhao, and they watched her get up, and they couldn't help being stunned. Concubine Shu didn't let her get up, did she?
Song Yunzhao pretended not to see the weird expressions on everyone's faces, and sat down aside, waved the fan in his hand, and swept everyone with a smile.
Everyone hurriedly withdrew their eyes, Song Yunzhao smiled inwardly, he still wanted to watch the fun with just this little courage.
Concubine Shu was suffocated by Song Yunzhao at the moment, and her face was not very good-looking, but she couldn't hold on to the matter of Song Yunzhao's sitting. Wouldn't this show her intention to make things difficult for others?
But Song Yunzhao was so rude, Concubine Shu was naturally unhappy, and said: "Song Guifei really has a sharp tongue."
"The empress is absurd, but I dare not be a concubine." Song Yunzhao laughed.
Everyone: …
When did the sharp-mouthed Lishi praise?
But seeing Song Yunzhao's expression on his face, everyone really opened their eyes.
Concubine Shu was so angry that she almost got internal injuries, this Song Yunzhao is really a hob!
"What pastime does Concubine Song like?"
Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Zhuang, and spoke softly, at least on the surface, and she replied equally gently: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just like to read a storybook."
The smile on Concubine Zhuang's face couldn't be maintained anymore, no one present would say that, and no one would say one or two famous books to save face.
