Difficulty concubine

Chapter 391

These words, what Jiaoniang said, Li Zhaoyi could hear, but she couldn't put her nose on the face because of this, without respect, because Jiaoniang's voice was really intimate, Li Zhaoyi also put a smile on her face, and her tone was also Casually for three minutes, he smiled and said, "Etiquette cannot be discarded. The empress loves concubines, but concubines must not break the rules." Then, Li Zhaoyi remembered another thing, and hurriedly said: "Concubines have I still don't know how to solve this problem, so I have to ask the empress to make a decision."

"You just say it." Jiao Niang gave Li Zhaoyi a funny look, and she knew that she must not be here today because of the menu.

Being glanced at by Jiao Niang, Li Zhaoyi was not afraid, instead she laughed and said softly: "Something went wrong with the fans, ornaments, incense tassels, etc. The Empress Nian has rewarded people generously, but now it is hard to find suitable objects in the palace. It is not easy to decide on the palace fans of several princes and concubines. It will make people criticize in their hearts, let alone those Mrs. Duke and Mrs. Hou, we can’t favor one over another.”

Jiao Niang frowned, if there are many objects in the palace, there are not a few expensive ones, but the difficulty lies in this one, they are all princes and concubines of the same level, it is not appropriate to belittle any of them , it is no wonder that Li Zhaoyi made a difficult decision.

"If Ben Gong said, those fan ornaments should not be rewarded. It is said that no one lacks these things, but it is just for the sake of decency. The empress set a precedent, so there is no need to find trouble for us. "Jiaoniang snorted softly, her tone was a little irritated, and after a moment of contemplation, she said: "This year, the empress is not organizing the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so I simply changed the rules and only rewarded the fragrant tassels and fragrant cakes, my dear." The concubine and princess of the county rewarded tassels with gold and silver threads, embellished with rubies, and the wife of the Duke and Madam Hou rewarded tassels with silver threads, embellished with red agates. As for the others, they only rewarded colorful tassels The fragrant tassels of the thread are enough, and the fragrant cakes are divided into 24 flower shapes to make. The princess and the princess of the county filled 24 kinds of boxes in six layers, and the wife of the Duke and Mrs. Hou packed eighteen kinds in five layers. It’s enough to pack twelve items in three layers, so it’s suitable for the scene.”

"How can it be so simple to be suitable, and it also saves a lot of money." Li Zhaoyi chuckled and said, "We only give them bleeding every year, and we have never seen them honor us once. The concubines watched, one by one, the head The clothes she wears are more expensive than those of Zheng Shu." Having said this, Li Zhaoyi couldn't help poking her lips, thinking that those concubines ordered their wives to buy some property and save some money, but these concubines I have to rely on my salary to live. If it weren't for the help from my family, I might be so down and down!

"You got caught in the eyes of money, so you can't become a layman." Jiao Niang pointed at Li Zhaoyi and laughed. She has never been short of gold and silver since she was a child. How could she understand Li Zhaoyi's difficulties, but she was always smart, so she thought, He also understood a little bit, and asked: "There are still some days before the release of salary and silver. Now that you are organizing the Hundred Flowers Banquet, you have to give it away as a reward. Are you not rich?"

Li Zhaoyi shook her head. How can I say that I am short of money? A salary of 200 taels a year would not be in short supply. It’s just that money envoys are needed everywhere in the palace. After rewarding the money, her little money was just enough to reward.
