"Sisters, I heard that there was a snow disaster in Shengjing, and Zhili was not spared. We should do our best to help the emperor solve the problem. I will see that our harem should also reduce some of its use. It's over!" Concubine Xian glanced at everyone and said with a smile, but her words were beyond doubt. 【 】

When they heard that the cost of the harem was going to be reduced, the expressions of all the people present became a little ugly.

"Your Majesty, the monthly allowance and expenses given by the palace are only enough for the daily expenses of the sisters. If the expenses are reduced, it will be difficult in the future!" Yipin said with a worried face.

As a concubine, she doesn't have to worry about food, clothing and housing, but she also has land for money, so rewarding servants is a huge sum.

Concubine Xian did not expect that the first one to come out to complain would be Concubine Yi, who had followed her lead these days, but... she had never had expectations of them.

In order not to be isolated by everyone, she had no choice but to buy these trash.

"Of course I will consider all the younger sisters, just reduce the expenses a little, it won't cause any serious problems!" Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Yi nonchalantly, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you dare to ask me, is it the emperor's intention to reduce the cost of the harem?" Concubine Jia asked with a smile.

"I have said that this is to share the emperor's worries, so naturally it is not the emperor's will!" Concubine Xian returned patiently.

"Since it's not the emperor's will, dare to ask the empress, is it the empress dowager's and empress's will?" Concubine Jia asked again.

"No!" Concubine Xian looked at her and said word by word.

"Since this is the case, please forgive my concubine for being unable to follow her orders!" Concubine Jia laughed.

"What? Concubine Jia, as a concubine in the harem, is unwilling to share the emperor's worries and problems?" Concubine Xian suddenly darkened her face.

Concubine Jia snorted coldly and said nothing more, now her expenses are barely enough to get by, because she is not very favored, the emperor's rewards are less, not to mention, in the future, where money is needed will also be used. More, she will not agree.

"Concubine Jia, are you deliberately going against me?" Concubine Xian sneered suddenly.

"The concubine doesn't dare. Your concubine is now taking care of the harem according to the order. The concubine will naturally look up to her, but... there are some things, I am afraid that you will not be able to take charge of them!" Concubine Jia seems to be relying on something, not afraid Concubine Xian was angry.

Concubine Xian clenched her hands tightly. It seemed that if she didn't kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys today, she might not be able to restrain these people in the future. It's just Concubine Jia... Anyway, it's her own fault for trying to be brave.

"Concubine Jia, I take care of the harem according to the order of the empress dowager. If you don't respect the order of the empress dowager, you are disrespecting the order of the empress dowager! I can only ask the empress dowager to discipline me. Someone is here, please go to the concubine Jia to be kind. Ning Gong apologizes to the Queen Mother!" Concubine Xian said coldly.

Concubine Jia sneered when she heard the words. Up to now, Concubine Xian can only use the Queen Mother to suppress others, but how can she be controlled by others.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The concubine has been very irritable these days, and her words are unavoidable. When I came to greet you today, I was a little upset. I called the imperial doctor to see her. The imperial doctor said that the concubine was already more than three months pregnant. You have to rest assured to raise your baby!" Concubine Jia said this, and seeing everyone was surprised, she smiled and said: "All sisters know that it is cold in winter, and I have always been afraid of the cold, so I wear extra clothes. , I couldn't control my mouth, I thought I was getting fat, but I never thought I was pregnant!"

Wei Ning'er looked at Concubine Jia beside her, and after she was surprised, she realized that her belly was slightly swollen, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it.

"Congratulations sister!" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Congratulations, Concubine Jia!" Lu Yunxi and the others immediately stood up.

Concubine Xian's face turned pale slightly, but at this moment she didn't dare to embarrass Concubine Jia, and said coldly after a while: "Since that's the case, here comes someone, please come and ask the imperial physician to take the pulse of Concubine Jia!"

"Why, the empress thinks the concubine is lying?" Concubine Jia suddenly darkened her face.

"Concubine Jia, this Palace is also for your own good. The imperial physician may make a mistake in diagnosis of the pulse. If you don't confirm it as soon as possible, if you don't have dragon species in your belly, Concubine Jia, then you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor by then!" Xian The noble concubine laughed.

Concubine Jia heard the words, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, she naturally knew clearly whether she was pregnant or not, and now she summoned the imperial physician again, this was deliberately insulting her.

"Pure imperial concubine is here!" At this moment, the voice of the eunuch came from outside.

"Pure noble concubine, Wanfu Jinan!" All the concubines immediately got up and greeted.

"Sisters, you don't need to be too polite, it's so early in the morning, what a big battle!" Concubine Chun walked in and laughed.

Concubine Jia who was sitting on the right stood up immediately, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please sit down!"

Concubine Chun supported her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiafei, sit down, I heard that my sister is pregnant when I was outside, congratulations!"

Concubine Yu on the left also stood up, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please take a seat!"

Concubine Chun glanced at Concubine Yu, and sat down very politely, and Concubine Yu sat under her.

"Today, the princess is very noisy, the Palace has only delayed some time, sister Xian won't care about it?" Concubine Chun looked at Concubine Xian who was sitting in the upper position, and said casually.

Concubine Xian looked at her, and said after a while: "Since the princess is ill, I will allow you, Concubine Chun, to go back to the palace to take care of the princess. You don't have to be distracted to come to Yikun Palace to pay your respects in the next few days!"

"Princess, don't bother sister Xian. I have my own discretion. Now that you are in charge of the harem, I will naturally come to pay my respects!" Concubine Chun said with a bit of sarcasm.

Concubine Xian took a fixed look at her, and then said to Mu Yun beside her, "Have you sent someone to invite the imperial physician?"

"Mistress Qi, let's go!" Mu Yun replied.

"What? Is sister Xian unwell?" Concubine Chun pretended to be concerned.

Concubine Xian's eyes flashed unhappiness when she heard the words, this pure concubine knew what she was asking, but she couldn't turn against her at this time, so she said softly: "Sister Jiafei is pregnant, I want the imperial physician Xuan to come and see, Only then can I report to the emperor and the empress dowager!"

Concubine Jia stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "Don't bother your concubine Xian, this concubine will go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the emperor."

Seeing Concubine Jia who was angrily leaving with the help of the maid, it took a moment for everyone to come back to their senses.

Concubine Xian's hands holding on to the chair tightened, but she didn't get angry, and she smiled after a while: "I said earlier that the expenses should be reduced, and all the younger sisters have no objection?"

"Reduce the cost?" Concubine Chun exclaimed, immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "My sisters, I am worried about the princess, so I will go back to the palace first!"

Wei Ning'er also stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor sent someone to pass the decree early in the morning, saying that he will go to the Yanxi Palace after the court. The concubine sees that the time is almost here, and the concubine has resigned."

"Your Majesty, my concubine's old problem of being coquettish has recurred. You know it, my concubine. My concubine often fell ill when she was in the palace, and I can't hold it anymore!" Chen Guiren also stood up, and the maid beside her He walked out with the help of her.

After a while, Lu Yunxi, Yipin, and Shupin each resigned for different reasons, leaving only Concubine Xian, who sat high above, and Concubine Yu, who was below, in the main hall of Yikun Palace.

"Why don't you go?" Concubine Xian's face turned pale at this time, she looked at Concubine Yu and shouted.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu stood up and said softly, "Without Your Majesty's will, this concubine dare not step down!"

"Really? This is the first time I know Concubine Yu is so polite!" Concubine Xian looked at her coldly and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you know that if it wasn't for Yongqi, the concubine would not have stayed, but... please treat Yongqi kindly, otherwise, even if you are desperate, the concubine will not let it go!" If not Fearing that her son would be bullied, why would she stay by herself and attract people's eyes.

Concubine Xian looked at her, although she couldn't restrain the anger in her heart, she didn't explode on the spot, and said in a deep voice, "Back off!"

"The concubine resigns!" Concubine Yu couldn't wait more than she wanted, and immediately stood up and retreated.

Looking at the empty hall, Concubine Xian remained silent for a long time, and then held her forehead for a while, shaking her head helplessly.

"My lady, why are you bothering!" Mu Yun's words were full of bitterness.

"Mu Yun, since you decided to take this step at the beginning, then... fighting is the only thing I can do now, but unfortunately... this is not the best time, but it makes it difficult for me to move forward in this harem." !” Concubine Xian sighed.

"Then why don't you go back to the empress dowager and resign from the power to temporarily manage the harem!" Mu Yun immediately suggested.

Concubine Xian shook her head lightly: "Some things... Once you have it, it's too difficult to give it up."

For so many years, she has been keeping a low profile. Now, her long-cherished wish has just been half fulfilled, how could she give up.

"But now, ladies and gentlemen, you have made it clear that if you don't listen to your mother's words, if this continues, you will be in a dire situation, my lady!" Mu Yun said very worriedly.

Concubine Xian had a wry smile on her face when she heard the words: "I am too eager for quick success. Originally, I only wanted to let them reduce their expenses a little, so that they don't hurt their muscles and bones. I think they don't care too much. Now the empress dowager is doing it. I will be more satisfied with this palace, and the emperor will look at this palace with admiration, but now it seems that this palace is thinking too simply. Once money is involved, they will not give in at all. Bengong finally understands why it has been so many years , the empress can't help but have never reduced the cost of the harem, and even increased it."

"Your Majesty, please don't mention the matter of money in the future, or I'm afraid that all the ladies will not let it go!" Mu Yun was very worried, and immediately suggested.

"That's impossible. I have never taken back what I said. No matter how much the price is paid, I will never give up!" What prestige is there.

"Mu Yun, go and send Shu Shu to me!" After a while, Concubine Xian seemed to have made up her mind, and ordered to Mu Yun beside her.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see Big Brother's side Fujin?" Mu Yun was a little surprised, didn't the master not want to see that reckless side Fujin?
