Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 111
After the plague in the suburbs of Beijing was revealed, it suddenly seemed like an outbreak, but it became serious within three or two days.

In order to prevent the plague from spreading to the city and the palace, the gates of the city were temporarily closed, and no one outside the palace was allowed to enter.

The purchased things should be sent to the gate of the palace, and then transported to the corresponding place by the people in the palace.

When the ministers went to court, they all invited themselves to go to the suburbs to get rid of the epidemic.

This time Ning Chen waved his hand, selected one person from each of the Chen family, Xie family, Yao family, and Wu family's juniors, and threw them out together.

Naturally, there are also some other officials, but these four are the main ones.

Let's see how they earn first.

At the same time, Ye Yun found a way to deliver a letter to his mother Chu outside the palace. The content was that heroes come out of troubled times, and if grandparents and uncles want to become an imperial merchant, this is a great opportunity.

The Chu family is also smart, so they naturally understand the meaning. Without a husband, the children are still young, and if the mother's family is good, she can rely on her.

So the letter was rushed to Bianzhou that day.

Greetings the next day, the queen became strict.

"Nowadays the plague is rampant outside the city. It is inevitable that the vegetables and fruits brought into the palace at this time are not as fresh as in the past. You should all be more sensible. If I let the palace know who is making trouble at this juncture, then don't blame the palace for not caring." Remember the sisterhood!"

This is for Yimei.

Yesterday afternoon, Yimei asked for some fruit to eat, but there was no one she liked, so she lost her temper with the steward of the dining room.

At this moment, the beauty Ziyi lowered her head, not daring to vent her breath.

Fortunately, no one dares to make trouble now, for fear of being caught by the queen and deal with it, but no one taunts her.

In fact, Yimei also regretted it. She lost her temper yesterday because she was angered by the kitchen staff.

It turned out that the person said in secret that she is not as fond of Ye Yun now, and even Ye Yun is not so picky, what is she picky about.

Thinking about it carefully, that person is just a slave, and she herself is not out of favor, how dare that person ridicule her like this, someone must have ordered it.

But the matter was over, and she couldn't afford to regret it, so she had to warn herself to be more careful.

"Let's leave for those below Jieyu, and the rest will follow me to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

After the queen finished speaking, she stood up.

Ye Yun sighed in his heart, he only hoped that the empress dowager would not be a demon.

This was the first time she went back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and she wanted to come back with her whole body intact.

When they arrived at the Compassionate Peace Palace, they sat down according to their positions after saluting in unison.

The queen mother was holding a string of emerald bead chains in her hand, she glanced lightly, and then spoke.

"Recently, there has been a lot of noise about the plague. The emperor was troubled in the previous dynasty. You must serve the emperor more attentively to relieve the emperor's fatigue. In addition, the people are suffering outside, and Ai's family is also feeling uncomfortable. They have copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the past two days. , but felt that it was far from enough, the Ai family thought, since the empress dowagers can’t share the emperor’s worries, then together with the Ai family, go to Baohua Hall to copy scriptures, burn incense, worship Buddha, and pray for the common people.”

"The empress mother has a heart of love for the common people. Presumably, she will be able to move the gods and end this plague earlier." The empress echoed with a smile.

Concubine Shu also followed suit, "The Empress Dowager is the mother of the world, and if the Empress personally prays for the people, she will surely be able to bless the people."

"Exactly, having the Empress Dowager lead the ministers and concubines to pray for blessings can be regarded as doing a little bit for the common people." Concubine Wen said.

After hearing these few compliments, the Empress Dowager smiled a little, which was obviously very helpful.

Of course, these 'daughter-in-laws' weren't called here for compliments.

With a sweep of his gaze, he landed on Yao Xiang.

"Fang Xiuyi has the grace of saving the emperor's life. I think he must be a blessed person. The Ai family thought, why not let Fang Xiuyi set aside an extra hour every day to burn the Buddhist scriptures copied by the Ai family and everyone to the Bodhisattva."

Concubine Shu hurriedly answered, "What the empress dowager said is very true. Fang Xiuyi's dangerous injury was able to recover. It must be a great blessing. It is most appropriate to entrust the burning of Buddhist scriptures to her."

"The empress dowager thinks highly of it, and my concubines should be the common people of the Li people, and I will do my best."

Yao Xiang got up obediently, and obeyed her body in a well-behaved manner. This obedient appearance made the Queen Mother feel very comfortable.

Concubine Yao's status was higher than hers at the beginning, but she was the only one who bowed her head. Now seeing Yao's aunts and nephews bowing and kneeling under her hands, it is not unpleasant.

After tossing Yao Xiang, naturally he would not let the next one go, and Ye Yun was named after that.

Some time ago, Ning Chen gave Ye Yunming a lot of things in secret. The Queen Mother heard the news, and she didn't know how many times she scolded Hu Meizi in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

"Ming Jieyu's attire is very luxurious, the clothes of moonlight brocade, the bracelet of Hetian jade, the hairpin of Nanzhu hairpin, the common people are suffering outside the palace, and the Ai family has become frugal, but you are still extravagant!"

The queen seemed to be persuading her, and hurriedly said, "Mother, please calm down. Ming Jieyu is young, and she loves these bright dresses. The emperor loves Ming Jieyu very much. Last year, she even gave her gold powder and silver powder to decorate her nails for fun. Let's There is no shortage of these in the palace, but it is special now, but please rest assured, the queen mother, I will definitely teach her well."

Ye Yun frowned, and stood up, "The concubine knows she's wrong, so she must dress more plainly, these jewelry and cloths are all brought in by the concubine's mother's house, and the concubine can change them as soon as she returns.

After a pause, he continued.

"But the concubine thinks that it is enough for the empress dowager to pray for the people if she wants to, and she doesn't have to be too demanding on herself. After all these years, the empress dowager, if she saves money for the people, the people will feel sorry for themselves. Isn't it reasonable? Going against the original intention of the Empress Dowager to do things for the people."

"You mean that the Ai family did something wrong?" The queen mother snorted coldly.

Ye Yun calmly said, "The concubine dare not, the concubine just loves the empress dowager, the emperor has watched the people suffer, if the empress dowager can't enjoy the blessing, the emperor will suffer even more."

When it comes to the emperor, the queen mother is concerned that Ye Yun is getting the favor recently, so she glared at her and said nothing.

After coming out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Wang Xiuyuan stopped her.

"I saw my sister's full moon gift to the second princess. My sister really put her heart into it. I thanked my sister for the second princess."

"Sister, you're welcome. The second princess is a beautiful daughter of the sky. She should have all the good things. I'm just playing tricks. It's not in vain to make my sister happy." Ye Yun smiled.

Since it is decided to make friends, then be gentle.

Wang Xiuyuan looked around and lowered her voice, "Don't blame my sister for not being able to speak for you just now. Although my sister gave birth to the second princess and has her current status, but her family background is poor, and she still has some face in front of the emperor. The queen mother There's really nothing to say here."

"Sister is overthinking, I understand." Ye Yun said soothingly, "Our empress dowager has high eyesight, and I'm afraid she only thinks of Chen Wanrong. It's normal for me to be a little angry, but I will go to Baohua Palace in the future Kneel down, my sister is just out of confinement, she must take good care of her body."

Seeing that she really didn't blame herself, Wang Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The two separated, and Ye Yun got into the sedan chair and drove back to Yuxiu Pavilion, feeling restless.

This Queen Mother dislikes everyone, but she doesn't know that anyone dislikes her either.

Sooner or later you will kill yourself.
