Work overtime

Chapter 730

Jiang Yuebai opened it and saw the gold-sprinkled letter paper with the words: "Aunt: Thank you for your kindness. Now we are living in harmony and Xiaoxue is grateful. I wish you good health, good luck, and safety for both mother and child."

After reading it, Jiang Yuebai smiled happily.

"What are you looking at? You're smiling so sweetly." Li Beichen rested his chin on her shoulder and moved closer.

"Huh? The couple is very happy. Did you give them the Indian magic oil?" Li Beichen asked curiously.

Jiang Yuebai chuckled, "What's on your mind all day long?"

She carefully put the letter away and put it in a box. Helping others to achieve their goals was something she always liked to do.

It was time for their evening activities again. Jiang Yuebai was in charge of reading, while Li Beichen was in charge of massaging her legs. Because her belly was too big, she could hardly walk. She could only do some simple leg-lifting and leg-hooking exercises. Varicose veins appeared on her legs, and there was some edema.

Massages are performed three times a day to promote blood circulation. This evening massage is performed by Li Beichen himself.

His body temperature is no longer as hot as it used to be in the cold winter. He is more sensitive to cold than before. Now he is almost like a girl, with cold hands and feet. Rub them more and they will warm up.

Every time, he would soak his hands in hot water, apply the system-provided massage oil for pregnant women, and massage Jiang Yuebai's arms and legs. Every massage was very improper, and he would often touch here and there. If you say it was improper, it seemed like a normal part, and if you say it was not erotic, the technique was very weird, which made Jiang Yuebai laugh and cry.

Six more daughters from official families entered the harem one after another.

When they came to see Jiang Yuebai, they stood in two rows in a straight line. They looked as delicate as flower buds, and their words reminded people of "April in the World", with a youthful air, as if they had returned to their teenage years.

In fact, Jiang Yuebai was only seventeen years old at this time. Although she was only two or three years older than these girls, she felt like an old aunt.

Jiang Yuebai was not the only one who felt this way. The original group of people talked privately, but they felt that he was much older than them after entering the palace half a year earlier.

Now there are eighteen concubines in the harem, which is quite a lot.

The position and palace of a newcomer in the palace, as well as whether or not to give him a title, were originally very particular matters. In the past, the emperor personally decided. Now he has become a hands-off boss, saying:

"You are the queen, it is up to you to decide."

Fortunately, a workplace manager named Su Su has been trained. As the general manager, Su Su does not need to get involved in trivial matters on weekdays, but is responsible for major matters. Jiang Yuebai thought about giving her the task of arranging positions and accommodations, and then drafting a first draft, and then revising it should be almost done.

Instead, she made a list of the family background, appearance, and personality of the six officials' daughters, and then made a plan.

Among the military commanders, there was Xie Danqi, the concubine sister of Xie Concubine, the commander of Shaanxi Province, who was given the title of Xie Changzai and was appointed to Xining Palace;

Meng Xiuchun, the legitimate daughter of Meng Gan, the younger brother of Meng Xin, the commander of Penghu, was given the title of Meng Guiren and was placed in Xining Palace.
Lu Xinliu, the sister of Lu Kunming, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, was named Lu Guiren and lived in Fanghua Residence;
Yuan Donni, the legitimate daughter of Yuan Honglie, the general of Zhenhai and the commander of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, was named Yuan Cairen and Zizhuyuan.

Zhao Yunxuan, the legitimate daughter of General Yongyi, the commander of the Yunnan Buzhen Division, was given the title of Zhao Cairen and the title of Shufang Gong.
Yang Wanyu, the legitimate daughter of Yang Jingchang, the councilor of Huguang Provincial Government, was given the title of Yang Cairen and the title of Shufang Palace.

Jiang Yuebai asked curiously, everything else is easy, there is ready-made information about the family background, and the appearance can be seen, but how can one tell the character?

Su Su smiled and said that she had built her own information network through various channels in the past six months. She could get all the information if she wanted. Jiang Yuebai confirmed it and told her not to use it often. She should be careful when using it, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.

Jiang Yuebai pondered over the form and ordered, "Let Concubine Yuan and Concubine Zhao live in Taorui Palace. Shufang Palace is remote, and Concubine Yang will probably be scared to live alone, so let her move to Ningcui Residence."

Su Su whispered, "My Lady, what should we do with Concubine Chun's things?"

Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Move them all to Fengyi Palace and place them in the west hall. Arrange them according to the original appearance."

The harem is the most ruthless place. When someone dies, they have to make way for someone new. The same goes for ordinary people. Houses are always for the living.

Gong Zhengsi followed the list and took the new ladies to their dormitories and collected daily necessities according to their ranks.

*
Although the doctor had advised that it was best to be abstinent, recite the Purification Mantra every day, and have less sex, but since the new person had entered the house, he had to see her.

Otherwise, the censors of the previous dynasty would impeach the emperor for not treating everyone equally, which was detrimental to the country. The queen was jealous and narrow-minded. Ugh.

Finally, Li Beichen decided to compromise and meet one girl a week. I don't know if it was the sequelae of the cold poison or the psychological pressure, but he did meet her, but he was weak and couldn't lift his head at all. But when he was with Jiang Yuebai, he was full of interest, often pestering Jiang Yuebai for kisses and hugs, wishing to do it N+1 times a night.

This is very depressing, and it seriously hurts my self-esteem. As a man, you can't do this. I can't stand it.

He suspected that Jiang Yuebai had used some kind of prop on him. It was the kind of prop that forced people to be dedicated in this area. After thinking about it, he couldn't help it one day and asked Jiang Yuebai about it.

Jiang Yuebai was speechless and cried out that she was wronged, saying that it was absolutely not true. She was 1% sure that she did not accidentally click on the "Wei Ge Wan". It can be seen how fragile the trust between each other is. At the same time, she cursed "scumbag" N+ times in her heart.

But Jiang Yuebai has a system, and he doesn't. This is very infuriating! He is just a tool being manipulated! This feeling of powerlessness makes him feel crazy.

But when he was with Jiang Yuebai, watching her read "Records of the Grand Historian" to the children with passion and emotion, play the piano for the children, and seriously learn acupuncture and massage with Jiang Xian, holding her heavy belly and doing everything very carefully for fear of falling and getting hurt, he felt inner peace, and those messy thoughts disappeared automatically.

He called Jiang Xian to ask, Jiang Xian thought for a long time, hesitantly said that it might be related to the mood, and he should try to relax as much as possible. Li Beichen thought about it, and he did think of his promise to Jiang Yuebai, which made him lose interest.

He tried to have sex after drinking, but it still didn't work. Both of them were very embarrassed. The concubines were not only embarrassed, but also scared to death, afraid that the emperor would be furious and banish them to the cold palace, or even drag them away and chop them off.

After all, the emperor had made so many concubines pregnant before, and he had also made the queen pregnant with twins, so there must be no problem with that aspect, it must be his own problem. So after the night service, he was just as anxious as waiting for the results of the college entrance examination, fearing that he would be given a white silk ten feet long.

It was not until he went to Concubine Wei's place that he found his dignity as a man again amidst her delicate whimpers. In a happy mood, Concubine Wei was promoted to Wanyi and given the title "Rou".

At the end of October, two newcomers who had nominally slept with the emperor were promoted.

Ye Suhua's sister Ye Zhaoyi was promoted to Ye Fei, of course, in order to support Ye Xiang who had done a good job in the previous dynasty.

The concubines were all thinking that it was true that the ancestors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. The merits and virtues accumulated by Qi Zhaoyi during her lifetime and the wooden fish she beat were all inherited by her younger sister.

One is Xiao Jieyu. She was promoted to Xiao Zhaoyi. However, no one talked about her benefiting from the previous Zhenpin.

At Jiang Yuebai's suggestion, the emperor gave Bater to Xia Wanyi to raise. Bater cried in the emperor's arms for a while, then obediently moved from Wutong Pavilion to Zhongyu Palace.

Xia Wanyi had experienced so many ups and downs, seen so many lives and deaths, and had given up all hope, but unexpectedly her luck turned and a son fell from the sky!
And so on!

Xia Wanyi felt that her life had become much better since Jiang Yuebai became the queen. She was completely conquered by Jiang Yuebai and was grateful to him. She praised the queen to everyone she met.

Rouwanyi's sprained foot has healed, but as the weather got colder she contracted a cough. At first it was just an itchy throat, but later she felt like there was phlegm in her throat that she couldn't cough out. Sometimes when she coughed hard she would cough up thick phlegm.

Jiang Xian said it might be a sequelae of the cold poison, and he could only slowly treat it. Jiang Yuebai showed Jiang Xian several modern prescriptions for cough, including the recipe for Lianhua Qingwen. Jiang Xian figured out a set of dosages based on the recipe of Lianhua Qingwen, and boiled it for Rou Wanyi to drink, which surprisingly worked well.

The concubines came to pay their respects every other day on odd-numbered days, just like the court officials who attended the morning court. So after the first time they paid their respects to the emperor, they never met again.

Soon, a small disturbance occurred.

Meng Zhao's cousin, Lady Meng, was punished by being made to kneel in the yard because Xie Changzai, a palace maid, talked back to her.

The wind was biting cold and the water was frozen. Xie Changzai knelt crying for a while before she fainted. Her maid didn't dare to leave to report the news, so she froze to death while lying on the ground.

There are only two maids in the palace. Jiang Yuebai understands the difficulty of the maids not daring to leave, but it still does not prevent her from dealing with the maids.

"Idiot! Don't you know how to protect your master? Your master fainted from the cold in his own yard, but you didn't take off your clothes and covered him with your arms? You didn't even get a blanket or quilt to wrap him up, and just let him lie on the ground? You didn't even spend money to ask the passing palace maids and eunuchs to tell you something? What's the point of having a mouth?"

After being beaten, he was driven out of the palace and sent to his uncle's teahouse to wash cups. Too many people died, and the labor force must be protected.

She asked Susu to go to the Shanggong Bureau to pick out two suitable palace maids and send them to Xie Changzai, and ordered Dongqing to send some silver and supplements.

As the queen, Jiang Yuebai had the power to promote palace maids. She sent someone to tell Li Beichen, "It's winter and the New Year is coming soon. A small matter almost caused a death. Concubine Xie has just entered the palace, so why not promote her to a higher position to appease her."

An hour later, the imperial edict arrived at Xining Palace, announcing that Concubine Xie was promoted to Concubine Xie, and Concubine Meng was fined one month's salary.

Concubine Meng was so angry that she started to cry. Money, my money. There is no place in the palace that doesn't need money.

Give me back my money, or I'll kneel in the yard for an hour!
