Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 490

Mr. Han Ge entered the main hall and saw the kneeling people on the ground. Without a heartbeat, he looked away and bowed politely, "The old minister joined the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Emperor Renchong's mouth, Han Ge didn't know, but his father-in-law, who had watched Emperor Renchong grow up, knew that the emperor was mocking Han Ge and Concubine Han for overreaching.

"What's the matter with Mr. Han Ge?" Emperor Ren Chong said with a smile, Concubine Han Gui on the ground was overjoyed, the emperor was kind to his father, and he also liked her from the bottom of his heart.

"The old minister came here because of one thing. I heard that a group of servants in the mansion tried to do their best to collect clothes for disaster relief recently. However, they didn't have much to offer. They were worried about being rejected. The old minister came today. I came here just to ask the emperor to give me a will, and please don't have any family or status views on donations."

Although servants are not free to serve others, they are also raised by their biological parents, and they also hope that the people of Anyuan County can live and work in peace and contentment.

Concubine Han frowned, and interjected next to her, "Your Majesty, this concubine came here today for this matter. Didn't outsiders donate? Prince..."

Before Concubine Han Guifei finished speaking, Emperor Renchong raised his hand to interrupt, and looked straight at Elder Han Ge who was attacking, "What does Elder Han Ge think about what the imperial concubine said?"

Han Ge's body froze, but it was only for a moment. He had already knelt down, "I don't teach my father's faults, and only when I feel the suffering of the people can I be happy for the safety of the people. The empress's move is an act of righteousness, the noble concubine The empress is ignorant, it is because of the improper education of the old minister, and I ask the emperor to forgive her this time for the sake of the old minister and the imperial concubine who is pregnant with the child."

The matter of reducing the expenses in the palace caused quite a stir in Beijing. People outside said that the empress is diligent and thrifty, loves the people like a child, and admires the empress. Han Ge's back is dripping with cold sweat. Fortunately, he has more thoughts. Otherwise, let alone being dragged down by Concubine Han, if this matter spreads, the common people will look down on her.

All the sarcasm on Emperor Renchong's face faded away, but, looking at Concubine Han's sad eyes, he asked Elder Han Ge, "Concubine Han Gui doesn't seem to think so, will Elder Han Ge misunderstand Concubine Han's meaning?"

Old Han Ge's back was wet, and his forehead was densely covered with sweat. At this moment, he had to admit that the old lady was right. A concubine is a concubine. It's always not as good as a daughter-in-law.

"Concubine Han Gui is probably pregnant with a child, so she hasn't heard anything about Anyuan County, please forgive her this time, Your Majesty."

Emperor Renchong snorted coldly, "Forgive me? As a noble concubine, she has no education at all. The empress leads by example. Instead of imitating or speaking, she blames the empress. She is pregnant with children no matter how old or young. The whole day is endless. The empress is tolerant of her. Not enough? Come, bring Concubine Han back to the Osmanthus japonica Palace so that she can reflect on herself, I see that she is not satisfied with the position of Concubine, so she will take off the title of Concubine and be demoted to concubine."

Concubine Han's legs were numb, hearing the meaning of Emperor Ren Chong's words, she opened her mouth to yell, but the eunuch who came in was smart and prepared a towel in his hand, and when Concubine Han opened his mouth, he went over and stuffed the towel into it Concubine Han said, Concubine Han was speechless and didn't want to leave, Han Ge always looked frustrated, and he almost followed Concubine Han's way, following Concubine Han's words, his fate would not be much better than Concubine Han's.

Concubine Han Guifei left, Emperor Renchong picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "Mr. Han Ge, if you have nothing to do, go back. Doing good deeds does not distinguish between status and status. The money donated by the servants of the mansion can be combined with each mansion. That's right, but the total amount of silver donated by the servant must be noted next to it."

"The old minister thanked the emperor for them, and the old minister resigned." After Han Ge retired, he couldn't help but took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead. It was freezing and snowy, but he broke out in a sweat. He looked in the corridor next to him and saw Concubine Han Shadow, Mr. Han Ge sighed, returned to the mansion, and ordered the housekeeper to spend another 1000 taels, which should be regarded as a donation from the servants of the mansion.

The silver donated by Qin Muyin is nothing to the Hou Mansion. Li Wan took out her own money and wanted to donate part of it, but Qin Muyin refused when she found out, "I have already taken a share from the Hou Mansion, your silver It's better to keep it..."

Li Wan felt inexplicable, Qin Muyin shook the only one in his hand, Li Wan, and then she understood, she couldn't help being amused, "The only one is only a little older, so there is no need for a dowry, besides, when the only one gets married, the Marquis also needs a dowry?"

Zilan and the others heard that servant girls can donate. Zilan donated 50 taels of silver, plus some worn clothes. She still needs to support the whole family. Li Wan expressed her understanding. She didn't ask everyone to donate a lot.

When it was reported, the part donated by the servants of the Hou's Mansion was the least, and it was accurate to pieces. Emperor Renchong was very happy after reading it, not as much as other mansions, but it can be seen that it was donated by the servants of the Hou Mansion, unlike some The servants will take out a few thousand taels casually...

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are almost no donations of money and clothing in Beijing. Instead, it is the Chinese New Year. The streets and alleys are filled with red lanterns. Quanfu is also starting to replace the lanterns in the corridors. Zilan is carrying two hanging outside the main house. By the side, Wei Wei was overjoyed to see it, because it was daytime, and there was no candle in the lantern, Wei Wei raised her head, looked at the tassels hanging from the bottom of the lantern, and tried to reach for it, Li Wan put one hand on Wei Yi's feet, It felt like she was kicking upwards obviously, but unfortunately, it was still not enough.

Zilan watched interestingly from behind. After a while, someone waved at the gate of the courtyard. Zilan trotted to the gate of the courtyard. When she came back, her breath was disturbed, but her voice did not change. "Ma'am, the people outside said Fang The second young lady of the family wants to see you, so I have posted a greeting card, do you want to see me?"

Li Wan looked sideways, with puzzled eyes, Zilan explained leisurely, "The second young lady of the Fang family is from the Li family. Before the Li family had a room, she was the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and she was a colleague of the master..."
