Chapter 110

The situation of the auction was even more intense than Su Mianyue imagined. The concubines who were originally aloof or ladylike, in order to bid for the items they wanted, actually took the scene of tearing up their hands. Many concubines would In the case of a disagreement, the privacy of the other party was exposed, wishing to take this opportunity to get rid of the obtrusive person, so that Su Mianyue was very interested in listening to it, but the Queen Mother shook her head helplessly, saying that she was tired, so she went I left first.

In the end, the faction headed by Concubine Hua won the management rights of the Catering Bureau and the Shang Palace Bureau, and was in charge of matters such as the harem food and publicity performances, which was absolutely luscious.

Although Concubine De didn't show up, her faction bid for the Shangyi Bureau and the Shangfu Bureau, in charge of the teaching of classics and history, several cases of paper and pen, ceremonial praise, Congxi Fu Festival and the service of the harem. The most important thing is that each palace will have something to show in the future, and they must flatter Deqing Palace, so that the offspring can get the best teaching.

Concubine Xian's faction took over the Shang Palace Bureau, which is in charge of gold, silver, pearls, jade, weaving and dyeing, etc., which can be said to be rich in resources.

Concubine Shu's faction took pictures of the Shang dormitory, taking charge of the tedious matters such as bed curtains, laying and sweeping. It seems to be the most complicated work, but it is the most tricky. At least it is easiest to place an eyeliner in which palace but.

"It's interesting. It seems that the harem is really going to be lively. It's really exciting." Su Mianyue lowered her voice and said with a half-smile.

"Miss is afraid that the harem is too idle, and someone will always trouble you, right?" Bi Wu ruthlessly exposed Su Mianyue's thoughts.

"Baby Biwu, I love you so much, shouldn't you also show your love to me?" Su Mianyue blinked her eyes, and there was a wicked light in her bright and energetic eyes.

Biwu looked at Su Mianyue pleadingly, but Su Mianyue wanted to play tricks on her, so Biwu cleared her throat, walked forward with a calm attitude, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please be quiet, don't be impatient, Allow this servant to say a word."

Biwu made a sound, which naturally represented Su Mianyue. Now that she opened her mouth, the hall instantly calmed down, and everyone looked at Biwu with puzzled eyes.

Of course, there are also those who won the quarrel, looking at Biwu with eyes full of anger, don't they know how uninterrupted it is?
Being stared at by so many eyes, Biwu subconsciously wanted to shrink her neck, but the sound of Su Mianyue gently rubbing the teacup made Biwu straighten her chest. These people are no more terrifying than her master.

"Before the auction, the servant girl explained the rules of the auction to the ladies. Now that the auction has come to an end, all the ladies can send someone to the servant girl to get a copy of "Management System". This is free." Biwu grinned and pointed A stack of books beside him said again: "You ladies will know the true meaning of this management system after reading it. It was compiled by the Empress herself, edited by the Emperor, and transcribed by Director De Hai himself. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. "

All the concubines were dumbfounded in an instant. They would bid with a lot of money, not only to win Mu Ting's favor, but also to make a lot of money. By the way, they would punish their unsavory rivals, but now they have a whole book. The management system, this is obviously to restrain them.

Su Mianyue lowered her eyes, and said in a calm tone: "This Palace has won so many opportunities for you sisters. Whether you can grasp this good opportunity depends on your means and abilities. I believe that you sisters will not let you I am disappointed."

"What the empress said is nice, but why didn't you tell me about the management system before the auction. Now that the money has been paid, is the empress trying to trick us?" Concubine Xian has always been sharp-tongued, but it's a pity The mouth is faster than the brain, otherwise Mu Ting would not have chosen her as his side concubine.

Shot cold eyes at Concubine Xian, Su Mianyue said in a deep voice: "Concubine Ling entered the palace not long ago and is not familiar with the palace rules. I thought she was a newcomer, so I gave her a few more chances. Concubine Xian came from the Prince's Mansion. Those who came out from here just didn’t know the rules before, if it’s still like this in front of the new sisters in the future, don’t blame me for not remembering the old friendship.”

Concubine Xian's originally optimistic expression turned into ice in an instant, and the difference in status would always be a gap she couldn't get over.

Fortunately, Concubine Xian is not a real fool, she immediately nodded dissatisfied and said: "The concubine offended the empress in a moment of impatience, please forgive me."

"This is not an example." Su Mianyue's beautiful face showed a cold look, her noble temperament made people feel intimidated, even if the concubines were dissatisfied, they dared not speak out.

Glancing at everyone, Su Mianyue said indifferently: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly report to the imperial court when you see the emperor. Now, everyone has received the brochure and went back earlier. I still have to visit the queen mother and her mother." old man."

After finishing speaking, Su Mianyue got up and walked towards the back hall with Biwu's support, but she was still thinking about the future layout of the harem.

Now Concubine Ling, who is the head of the first rank and four concubines, has been demoted to the second rank, leaving only three concubines, namely Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and Concubine De.

Because of Mu Ting's guilt, Concubine De always has a place in the palace, even if she can't bear children, no one dares to disrespect Concubine De.

On the contrary, Concubine Shu was the first side concubine bestowed to Mu Ting by the previous emperor, so her status should not be underestimated. She once gave birth to a little prince, who was murdered and died early, Concubine Shu has always been like an invisible person Not wanting to fight for favor anymore, Mu Ting treats her kindly.

Concubine Xian was the side concubine whom Mu Ting asked for after Su Mianyue married Mu Ting. She had always been Mu Ting's pawn against Su Mianyue. Because of the strength of the family, it occupies a place in the harem.

Judging from today's auction, it is very likely that Concubine Hua will take over, and Concubine De and Concubine Shu will also take this opportunity to remind people that they still exist and will no longer be wallflowers.

As for Concubine Xian, she has never been a person who keeps her own place, but she will definitely not have a happy ending. Su Mianyue doesn't worry too much about her existence.

"Let's pay attention to the situation of Weiyang Palace. Today's auction doesn't show Gu Ling at all. It's too strange." Su Mianyue said in a low voice when no one was around.

"Yes, I understand." Bi Wu nodded solemnly.

Not to mention Su Mianyue wentssiping with the Queen Mother for a while, and then brought Biwu back to Fengqi Palace. Mu Ting had been waiting for her for a long time.

"This is the amount obtained from the auction, and the money has already been sent to the emperor." Su Mianyue was not surprised, and this was the reason why she deliberately delayed her return.

Mu Ting took the brochure and put it aside casually, obviously knowing everything about the auction.

Holding Su Mianyue's arm with his big hand, and letting her sit beside her, Mu Ting asked with a smile, "I heard that the queen was questioned, don't you feel angry?"

"Is an irrelevant person worth it?" Su Mianyue asked back.

Mu Ting froze for a moment, only felt that Su Mianyue, who was indifferent at the moment, was very strange, and asked again: "In the heart of the queen, what is worth your attention?"

"One is for the concubine, and the other is for the concubine to care about." Su Mianyue said lightly.

"In the eyes of the queen, which kind do I belong to?" Mu Ting turned slightly, approaching Su Mianyue's ear, and asked ambiguously.

With a shallow smile, Su Mianyue tilted her head slightly, stared at Mu Ting and said, "The emperor is the emperor, so naturally the courtiers and concubines care about it." It has nothing to do with you, but because of your status, and you have to care, Otherwise, I don't know how to die.

Su Mianyue only said half a sentence, but Mu Ting's face paled when he heard it, and he said with a smile, "The empress really has a big heart. It's a blessing in my life to have such a wife."

With her lips slightly parted, Su Mianyue changed the subject with a smile, "I'm afraid the harem will have a different scene in the past few days. The emperor already wants to carry out new policies through the harem, so it's not appropriate to stay here with my concubine."

Mu Ting originally planned to leave, but Su Mianyue meant to drive him away, so she changed her mind and said, "I will stay with the queen for lunch today."

"The concubine's small kitchen can serve the emperor at any time. However, from now on, all the expenses of the emperor will be consumed by himself, and concubines should be treated equally when they come here, right?" Su Mianyue stretched out her hand, admiring Ting wants money.

Mu Ting laughed loudly, and asked De Hai to pay the 100 taels of silver. Su Mianyue accepted it with a curled lip, and said to Bi Wu, "This is the first time the emperor has paid for a meal in Fengqi Palace, so I told the kitchen to pay for it." The steward will do some calculations and prepare lunch for the emperor at a discounted price of [-]%."

"Yes." Bi Wu took the order and left.

Hearing the word discount, Mu Ting inevitably had to ask a few questions, Su Mianyue gave a simple explanation, and then the two fell into silence, with nothing to talk about.

Feeling that breathing became uncomfortable, Su Mianyue thought for a while before finding a topic and said, "This is an eye-opener for my concubines. I never thought that there would be so many conflicts between concubines in the harem. The auction will reveal each other's old stories, the most interesting thing is that the concubine Yun pointed at Meng Cairen and said, "Don't pretend to be so gentle and righteous in front of others, I can hear the words you squat in the corner every night and curse people." In the palace where I live in this concubine, I eat people's food every day, but I don't do human affairs'..."

Su Mianyue would imitate one thing at a time, and another at another time, her tone was imitated ten to ten times, but she just picked some innocuous things to laugh at, otherwise the harem might have a big relegation.

Mu Ting kept a happy smile all the time. Hearing Su Mianyue's happy words, he found it very interesting. Naturally, he didn't take those concubines' disrespectful things to heart, and only smiled as Bo Su Mianyue.

And the few people who were imitated by Su Mianyue or complained about, in the next few days, they will have the opportunity to accept the grace of Yulu, or at least have the opportunity to show their faces in front of Mu Ting, but it is a pity that they only dare to show their faces in front of Mu Ting. The most 'perfect' side made Mu Ting feel extremely boring.

After a lunch, Su Mianyue successfully persuaded Mu Ting to go to various palaces and courtyards in the past few days to give some suggestions to the concubines, so as to avoid the difficulty of implementing the contract of the Sixth Bureau.

Naturally, Su Mianyue seized the opportunity to go out of the palace frequently, but she didn't know that Gu Lingzheng had made a major decision in Weiyang Palace where she had been monitoring.

Since Gu Ling fell out of favor, he hasn't had much contact with the concubines in the harem, so the people assigned by Biwu couldn't find any clues at all.

But at this moment, in Gu Ling's bedroom, a court lady with an extremely ordinary face was standing in front of her, bowing down and waiting for instructions.

With trembling fingertips, Gu Ling burned the letter that Taifu Gu had written to her, his eyes gradually became stern, and it took a long time before he said, "Send a word to my father that I am willing to promise him."

The maid Fushen was about to leave, and she didn't seem surprised by Gu Ling's decision, but Gu Ling stopped her.

"Tell father, please remember his original promise to me, otherwise I would rather be thrown into the cold palace and spend the rest of my life miserable than join hands with him." Gu Lingqing said coldly, with determination in his tone.

"Your Majesty, you just need to remember that the person who loves your Majesty the most in this world is an adult, and you have your own discretion in other matters. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." The maid said, but she was as hoarse as a man.

Impatiently waving his hand to dismiss the maid, Gu Ling walked slowly to the window and looked in the direction of the imperial study, knowing that Mu Ting would not be there at this time, but pretended not to know.

"Your Majesty, Qingqing has always remembered the scene when I first met you, and I have always remembered the promise the Emperor made to Qingqing. Does the Emperor still remember all the past?" As he spoke, two lines of tears rolled down Gu Ling's cheeks, and he said sadly : "If Qingqing finds out that the emperor has forgotten the old covenant, Qingqing will definitely make the emperor regret betraying Qingqing's sincerity."

In the latter sentence, Gu Ling's voice was extremely low, and his eyes glistened with tears, but Mu Ting couldn't see it, so naturally he wouldn't show any pity.
