Chapter 129
After Yi Jieyu was promoted, Ning Chen remembered Yang Shi who was pregnant and hadn't been promoted yet.

He was simply promoted to the position of talented person, which also means that he will be promoted after giving birth.

"Maybe the emperor hasn't sealed off the harem for a long time. Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated in the Lingxi Garden, and a batch was also sealed. This year, the plague has just passed. Why don't you confer a few more sisters, so that everyone can be happy." The queen smiled.

Concubine Shu pushes one Zhang, and she pushes everyone in the harem, so that Zhang will not be conspicuous.

"Well, the empress is right. Some concubines have served me for many years, so they should make a move." Ning Chen responded.

His eyes swept down, stayed on Ye Yun for a moment, and then moved away.

After a while, he said, "Lin Jieyu was promoted to beauty, Xia Wanrong was promoted to beauty, and Chen Wanrong was promoted to beauty."

Those who are named are all Yixi. Although there are not many people who are promoted, it is a good thing to be promoted.

However, everyone was also surprised that there was no Ming Jieyu, but it was understandable that this one would be the ninth concubine with no children and no achievements, so it was too soon.

Just when everyone thought this was over, Ning Chen spoke again.

"Ming Jieyu pointed out the fact that Yi Jieyu was pregnant today, and it's a meritorious service. I should reward you with something. Tell me, I'll give you whatever you want."

Such a doting tone, and speaking out alone, can't help but make everyone look sideways.

Ye Yun was also calm, and stood up with a big smile, "The concubine is just talking, and there is merit, but it is rare for the emperor to promise, so the concubine just asks for a favor."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, then glanced to the side before continuing.

"The concubine's temperament has never been very diplomatic, but Zhou Baolin, who entered the palace with the concubine, got along well with the concubine. Since the emperor sealed the harem today, why don't you also give her a promotion? It's been a long time."

Zhou Shi, who was called by name suddenly, was stunned for a moment, and got up quickly after realizing it.

"Xie Ming Jieyu loves her so much, I really don't dare to be a concubine."

"Since Ming Jieyu said hello, it must be really good, so let's be promoted together." Ning Chen didn't care about this bit of status, and agreed with a wave of his hand, "Ming Jieyu values ​​you, you In the future, we must treat her well, and we must not let him down in the slightest."

Zhou Cairen was excited and blessed, "The concubine would like to follow the emperor's instructions!"

Everyone can understand that the Zhou family was promoted because of Ye Yun, and it can be regarded as making it clear in the harem that the Zhou family is a member of Ye Yun's boat.

Of course, there are many people who think that Ye Yun is a firm favorite of the Zhou family, but Ye Yun naturally doesn't think so.

She doesn't need anyone to cling to, but she needs allies.

Zhou has shown her loyalty to her for a long time, and she should give some practical benefits, otherwise what would others follow her for?

And she also knew that Ning Chen would definitely agree, after all, it's not a big deal, it's good to sell favors.

"You always ask others, but you don't have anything you want?"

Ning Chen's voice brought her back from her thoughts.

Looking up, he saw the handsome and unparalleled man on the dragon chair, looking at him with a pair of phoenix eyes with a smile.

What a disaster!

Ye Yun grumbled in his heart, still looking cute on his face, stood up and smiled slightly, "The grace is all given by the emperor, and the concubines just go on with it. The emperor treats the concubines well, but he really doesn't want anything. If there is , then I hope that the emperor will have a healthy body and a long life, so that the ministers and concubines will be satisfied."

"Hahahaha, look, Empress, she has always been born with a clever mouth, and she is the best at talking." Ning Chen smiled heartily, and his eyes brightened a little.

Knowing that Ye Yun was acting, but she did speak beautifully.

The queen also laughed, knowing that she wanted her to go along with it, so she wisely answered the question.

"The courtiers also feel the same way. Ming Jieyu is worthy of being a loyal queen, she is all for the emperor."

"Well, it's rare for the queen to praise you like this. After talking about loyalty, I remembered that during this plague, Mrs. Ye and the Chu family have contributed a lot of money and effort, which really solved many urgent needs of the government. General Ye is loyal and courageous. Madam Ye is also kind-hearted when she sacrificed her life for the country, and the Chu family is even more generous and selfless as in-laws!"

Ning Chen took advantage of the situation and started to praise, it was not Ye Yun, but the Ye family and the Chu family.

Everyone thought about it right away. If you want to talk about Mrs. Ye, she is already a first-rank woman, and Ye Xiaojun is also a marquis. The mother and son are worthless, but the Chu family has nothing.

Is this to reward the Chu family?
That is, at this moment, among the ministers below, Xu Jiangbai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court is now finalizing the matter of the imperial merchants. I believe that the Chu family is a century-old family with a lot of experience in business, and the second is that the Chu family has a heart for the world and is benevolent in business. It is really the best of the imperial merchants." select!"

After he made the beginning, Master He also expressed his opinion, and some people nodded in agreement one after another.

The British prince sat at the head of the hundred officials, his eyes were very gloomy.

As the emperor's own uncle, even the others spoke out in support, so it was hard for him not to say a word.

If it had been changed before, it would have been enough to ask the people below to object, but this time the Chu family has actually done something, the common people and all the officials are watching, and there are many voices of support.

This time, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only support it.

After drinking a glass of wine, he also said, "I also think that the Chu family is very suitable as the choice of the imperial merchant, but it is not good that there is only one imperial merchant. After all, it is newly established, and many things need to be explored. Only the Chu family One family, I’m afraid it’s not easy to compare and check for leaks, so it’s better to choose one or two, and several companies will implement it together, so as to compare the pros and cons and integrate the best management methods.”

It's okay to take a step back, but it can't be all good.

The British will not easily let anyone become big under his nose.

The Chu family rejected the olive branch thrown by the Chen family at that time, so don't blame him for not allowing the Chu family to develop well.

It will be more exciting if there are more merchants at the same time.

Ning Chen kept his eyes dark, he did not expect that the British Guild would retreat in order to advance.

If he agrees, it means that at least half of the imperial merchants belong to the Chen family's power, but if he disagrees, then half of his power will be lost.

The Chen family is really a good courtier for persecuting the emperor and dividing up the benefits in this way!

Ning Chen felt cold in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about the Duke of England who was in power.

He came to the throne at a young age, and the Chen family was originally a noble family with some foundations. They had developed so well while assisting him, that he could not completely control it overnight.

"It's still my uncle's thoughtful thinking, so let's settle it for now. In addition to the Chu family, choose another business name, and jointly seal it as an imperial business. The specific matters will be discussed later."

"Your majesty is wise!" the British prince bowed his hands respectfully.

When it came to the Chu family, Ye Yun got up and thanked him.

With government affairs mixed in, the banquet was not so pure, and everyone's interest also faded away.

The main reason is that the emperor is not in a good mood, and no one dares to move.

In the end, before the hour, the queen mother said that she was tired, and Ning Chen took the opportunity to send the queen mother back to the palace to rest and leave.

He left, and the banquet was even more meaningless, and it all broke up in less than half an hour.

 Happy Labor day
