Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Outside the Cining Palace.

Today's weather is not good. It snowed all night last night. Although the snow stopped in the morning, the sky is still cloudy, and the cold wind is howling. "I heard that a plague broke out in Shandong, and the emperor has been very busy these days." I haven't closed my eyes all night, I can't take care of the affairs of the harem!" Concubine Shen sighed, the cold wind poured into her neck, she couldn't help shivering, the stove in her hand was no longer hot this time, Fortunately, the road back to Xianfu Palace from Compassionate Ning Palace is not too far.

Cheng Concubine walked on the cleaned bluestone road, and sighed: "Yes, this winter is unusually cold. Fortunately, there is only Song Xu in my palace, and the other unused side halls and side halls have stopped charcoal fires. Back then I tidied up a large side hall for her to live in, but now she is suffering from the cold. The bigger the house, the more charcoal fires are needed. Her share is only a little bit. I could give her a little bit in the past, but now I They all carried Yinyou into their own room. Calling her to the main hall to talk to her during the day can also save her some charcoal fire."

Concubine Shen said angrily: "I used to have at least half of the eight catties of red bamboo charcoal that I should have daily, so that I can fill my hand stove to warm my hands! Now I don't even have a catty of it! Those bamboo charcoals are old again. It’s not enough, it won’t be hot if you put it in the hand stove for an hour!” Then he threw the silver-bodied enamel colored hand stove that didn’t even have any heat to the maid of honor, “She really wants to put the whole body Is it all making chickens and dogs restless?!"

Concubine Cheng hastily covered Concubine Shen's mouth, and said in a low voice: "You keep your voice down! Don't be afraid of being heard! In order to relieve the disaster in Shandong, even the quotas in the Taihuangtai's house have been halved, let alone you and me?"

"If the money is reduced, it will be reduced! Even the good charcoal is gone, how can I live this winter?! I haven't seen her reduce it in the palace!" Concubine Shen said indignantly.

Suddenly, a stern questioning voice came from behind: "What does Concubine Shen say about reducing or not? Tell Bengong to hear it too."

Concubine Shen and Concubine Cheng heard the familiar voice, they hurriedly pushed to the side of the road, and saluted: "Golden Concubine Empress Jin'an!"

Concubine Tong came out of the sedan chair in which the blue luan was flying together with colorful engraved silk, wearing a thick silver fox cloak, Concubine Shen and Concubine Cheng could only smell the warm scent coming towards their faces, Concubine Tong was full of jewels and emeralds today. Dressed extraordinarily gorgeously, Concubine Tong squinted lazily and proudly: "You two are muttering, don't you gossip behind people's backs?"

Concubine Cheng hastily stepped forward to Concubine Shen and said with a humble smile: "How could it be? Just now, Concubine Shen's younger sister was saying that even the imperial concubine's status in Jingren Palace has been reduced by more than half, concubines and concubines should follow suit!"

Concubine Tong's vermilion lips snorted slightly, showing that she didn't believe Cheng Concubine's words, and said arrogantly: "That's good! The imperial court spent a lot of money on this disaster relief, and the empress and palace should also do their part! My lord I have been in business for many years, and I have always practiced frugality. This year, I am not richer than in previous years, and the reduction of empress dowagers and palace expenses is also allowed by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I don’t think there will be anyone who dares to go against it, right?”

Concubine Shen had long had a resentment in her heart, and being so provoked by Concubine Tong, she couldn't help but said, "This year's red bamboo charcoal is really small! Once the empress reduces the cost, it will seem like it has grown wings. Similarly, apart from the emperor and the two palaces in the entire palace, only the imperial concubine’s palace can’t run out! I think the red bamboo charcoal used by the concubines will worship the high and step down, so they all fly to the imperial concubine’s palace !"

Concubine Tong Guifei was so angry that smoke came from her nostrils when she heard Concubine Shen's weird and sarcastic words.

Concubine Cheng was the first to reprimand: "Sister Concubine Shen, what are you talking about?! You don't even know who is superior? I see that you are looking at Concubine Tong, who has always been magnanimous, so you don't know how to restrain yourself. of!"

Concubine Shen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt aggrieved. Concubine Cheng had always spoken to her in a dignified and gentle manner, why had she ever scolded her like this?Muttering, looking at Concubine Cheng, she couldn't believe it, "Sister Cheng, you..."

Concubine Tong Gui was also taken aback, Concubine Cheng and Concubine Shen have always been better, why are there internal strife today?Then I felt a little bit more about continuing to watch the show.

Concubine Cheng snorted heavily, "The most important thing in this palace is dignity! Red bamboo charcoal is always in short supply, if there is any shortage, of course it will be enough to give to the emperor, the two palaces, and the palace of the noble concubine! The red bamboo charcoal in the Ren Palace has been taken enough, if there is any surplus, it will be the turn of the other palaces! Naturally, the noble people should take the good things first, otherwise you have to take them first?!"

Guifei Tong couldn't help but feel complacent, but besides complacent, she seemed to feel that there was something wrong with Cheng Concubine's flattery, but she couldn't chew it out.

Concubine Cheng bowed to Concubine Tong and said, "Concubine Shen is rude to the concubine and empress. According to the palace regulations, she should be punished for one month! Please concubine and concubine convict Concubine Shen to show that the palace rules are strict and orderly!"

Concubine Tong nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Concubine Cheng is getting more and more good at talking! Since this is the case, I will naturally remonstrate with you—" Mei Mou glanced at Concubine Shen who had a pale face, and couldn't help but sneer, " Hesheli should go back to his own palace and think about it!"

Concubine Cheng took Concubine Shen to salute, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, hurry up and return to the palace, you are precious, you must not be hurt by the cold wind, otherwise it will be the fault of the concubines!"

Concubine Tong Guifei suddenly felt that she had lost her face, and with her chin raised high, she swaggered back to the palace.

Concubine Cheng and Concubine Shen are both concubines, so they can only walk back to the palace and continue to suffer from the cold in the ice and snow.

"Sister Cheng..." Concubine Shen walked all the way, and when she reached the gate of her palace, she realized that Concubine Cheng's Changchun Palace had already passed. Concubine Cheng accompanied her for a longer walk and suffered a lot of cold wind. Wet: "Thank you, sister."

Cheng Concubine showed a comforting smile on his face, "You finally understand."

Concubine Shen laughed and said: "I just felt that I was wronged halfway, but later I realized that my sister is not the kind of person who will bow down and step down, so I began to think about the reason why my sister said that."

Concubine Cheng stopped and said, "Then you have figured it out?"

Concubine Shen hummed, "I'm too stupid. The current situation is unusual. If I annoy her, it's me who suffers? My sister's words just now seem to be a compliment to Concubine Tong, and she begged her to punish me, but the rumors When I go out, other people will only know that I was grounded because I complained to Concubine Tong Guifei because I didn't have the red basket charcoal that I should have. Dujing Rengong regards red bamboo charcoal as ordinary bamboo charcoal to warm the house. Now, many people will share their hatred with me from the bottom of their hearts!"

Concubine Cheng nodded, and said with a smile, "You know it's good to use your brain! If Nanny Li was still alive, I would never have dared to play my mind in front of Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong without Nanny Li would not It’s just that a loyal confidant is missing! Just now I was really afraid that you would accidentally offend her, so I came up with this plan out of desperation. Anyway, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I will be frozen when I go out, so I stay in my own palace It’s okay if you don’t get out.”

Concubine Shen smiled heartily, and said loudly: "Yes, from today onwards, I will start cat winter!"

The concubine Cheng said again: "When you return to the palace, the people in the palace often agree to squeeze together and use the charcoal together. This winter will always be able to survive!"

"I see, sister Cheng, go back quickly, it's very gloomy today, I'm afraid there will be heavy snow!"
