Chapter 440 Extravagant
It is said that the queen, more than a dozen empresses and princesses in the harem were invited.

This is the first time that my aunt has held this kind of flower viewing party since she took power in the harem. Yingning wanted to give her aunt this face.

While having someone notify her third and fourth younger sisters, she went back to the house to change and dress.

When the three sisters packed up and came to the palace, the sun was already shining.

The flower viewing feast was arranged in the gazebo of the imperial garden, with more than a dozen ice basins placed around it, and the eunuchs walked back and forth to replace the ice basins to ensure that the ice basins would not stop.The pavilion is covered with a few light curtains, and diagonally opposite is a large lake of willows. The surging water of the lake brings a cool breeze.

Cozy and comfortable.

The empress and four concubines and other high-ranking concubines are fine, they are favored and treated well, and they often have the opportunity to enjoy these.The rest of the concubines with lower grades are not doing so well.

At least this is a rare day to enjoy uninterrupted ice basins, ice lychees and other melons and fruits in the Royal Garden.

In the past, when the empress was in charge of the family, for the sake of the reputation of being virtuous and virtuous, she refused to have a trace of extravagance and waste, and even the concubines in the harem lived frugally and poorly.

I don't know how many complaints have been made in the dark.

Now that the imperial concubine Shu is in charge, not only has the food and clothing standards of the concubines been greatly increased, but now they are also planning to hold such small gatherings of a purely welfare nature from time to time, which concubine would not be happy.

Empress Wei brought her niece Ren Yan'er, and was surrounded by maidservants. Seeing the situation in the gazebo, her face was not very good-looking.

"She's going to be a good person."

Empress Wei's lady in charge, Wanzhu, held the empress's hand and sneered in a low voice, "The imperial court has spent so much money on wars these years. For the sake of the soldiers and the common people, the empress tried every means to save money in the harem. Fortunately, she was so extravagant when she came up. Waste! Use the emperor's money to be a good person and please the harem."

The queen said lightly: "Now that her son is the crown prince, and she is in charge of the harem, she naturally wants to give some benefits first, so as to control people's hearts."

"This is too extravagant. Isn't there a war in the southeast? It's short of money!"

"Okay, don't say a few words."

The queen stopped Wanzhu and walked into the pavilion.

All the concubines and princesses are busy getting up to greet them.

"Forget it, it's so hot, look at all of you lazy." The queen sat gracefully on the top, looked around at the concubines, her eyes fell on the bright and shining concubine Ming, she couldn't help laughing, "Ming Concubine is almost forty now, how come she still looks like a little girl."

Concubine Ming said frankly: "Your Majesty remembers wrong, I'm only 35 this year."

When she entered the palace at the age of 14, the appearance of Shui Ling attracted the emperor's attention.

The sixth prince was born the following year.

After being favored again after nearly 20 years, she is still as delicate and beautiful as a flower, with a young appearance, clear eyes, and envy.

The queen was pissed off, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, and said calmly: "35 is not too young, and in two years, it's time to withdraw the brand."

"Yes, with the sign removed, I can relax and rest." Concubine Ming said.

All the concubines around showed complicated expressions.

The little princesses pretended not to understand and lowered their heads to drink tea.

Only the concubine Shuhuang laughed: "Sister Mingfei's innocent and upright temper has never changed. No wonder the emperor treats you like a child. Empress, this is the newly tributed lychee, empress Try it. Miss Yan'er also sit here, don't be restrained."

Ren Yan'er first looked at the queen, saw the queen nodded, and then went to sit down.

She was sitting right next to Yingning.
