Chapter 127 The Empress Who Was Cannon Fodder 13
"Empress, I ask you, why do you deliberately deduct Concubine Han's expenses for food and clothing?" As soon as he entered the door of Nuanxin Palace, the emperor sat down with his sleeves shaken and questioned Su Wei with a calm face.

"This is the tea that Concubine Yu gave to my concubine last time. It is said that it is Pu'er transported from Yunnan." Su Wei poured a cup of tea for the emperor without arrogance, and then lowered her head and asked, "Your Majesty is so angry. I don't know what my concubine did to offend His Majesty?"

"How dare you say it!" The emperor didn't even look at the teacup, got up and took a few steps, and then turned to Su Wei, who was calm and calm, who seemed to be very angry, "You are a dignified queen, you should have the demeanor of a mother in the world But now, you have colluded with the Inner Palace Bureau and the Imperial Dining Room to deliberately deduct the food and clothing expenses of the harem concubine because of private reporting to the public, how decent are you?!"

"Excessive expenses?" Su Wei smiled when she heard this, and gracefully fiddled with the gold-shell inlaid agate armor on her fingers, "Your Majesty, can I ask, who said that the imperial concubine deducted Concubine Han's expenses?" ?”

"What? You still want to die and don't want to admit it?" The emperor looked at Su Wei and sneered, his face gloomy.

"Is it Concubine Han?" Su Wei ignored the emperor's anger and said to herself, with a smile on her lips, "Then if I want to advise your majesty not to be angry and hurt your body, how about you listen to me?"

"Say!" The emperor said with a cold face.

"A few days ago, Lord Tian from the Inner Palace Bureau and Yu Gonggong from the Imperial Dining Room came to look for your concubine. They said that the palace people of Yuhua Palace were always not satisfied with the supplies distributed by the Inner Palace Bureau, and complained all the time. It's not that the quality of things is too low, Let’s just say that the Inner Palace is making things difficult on purpose.” Su Wei said slowly, “It’s the same in the Imperial Dining Room, where the dishes are simple and the food is plain. Lord Tian and Eunuch Yu came to look for concubines full of embarrassment because Concubine Han is a newly-appointed concubine. "

"Concubine Han is a third-class concubine. According to the rules of the Inner Palace Bureau, her own food and clothing expenses are different from other concubines. It's just that Concubine Han doesn't seem to understand. She has a third-class title, but she is jealous and wants to be first-class. The treatment even compares with my own heart." Su Wei said, "It's just that in this harem, it's hard to get around if you don't follow the rules. The other concubines keep the rules without complaint, so how can the concubines Just because of a concubine Han, you broke the rules? So the concubine replied to Eunuch Yu and Lord Tian on that day, and everything went on as usual."

"Third-class treatment?" The emperor snorted coldly, obviously not believing what Su Wei said, "I went to see it today, and the treatment is worse than that of a servant!"

"Your servant?" Su Wei smiled when she heard this, "Your Majesty, you have so much to do every day, how can you know what your servant's food and clothing costs are?"

"If my concubine remembers correctly, Concubine Han's meals should be three meals a day, five dishes per meal, three meat and two vegetables, except that there is no bird's nest occasionally."

"..." The emperor frowned and recalled the dinner in Concubine Han's palace, "There are no meat dishes at all!"

"The concubines don't know about it." Su Wei said, "The Inner Palace Bureau and the imperial dining room did not deduct her expenses as Concubine Han said. Once the account is recorded, all the expenses of Concubine Han are the same as those of concubines of the same status. If you don’t believe it, the emperor, you can personally send someone to the Inner Palace Bureau to check the expenditure account book.”

"If you really want to embarrass Concubine Han, the account books must have been faked. Do you think I will believe you?" said the emperor.

"...Then please send someone to check the expenses of all the third-class concubines in the harem." Su Wei said, "Concubines can make fake account books, but they can't fake the food and clothing expenses of each concubine over the past few years, right? ?”

The emperor pondered for a while, and called Cui Youlu who was guarding outside the palace: "Send someone to find that bamboo concubine for me, and ask her to come to the Queen's Heart-warming Palace, and tell her that I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Eunuch Cui nodded and went out to tell the young eunuch to do something.

Su Wei sneered secretly in her heart, the emperor was really thoughtful, afraid that she would arrange others in advance in order to get rid of the crime, so he didn't listen to her idea, and randomly selected a third-class concubine from the harem to ask questions.

Concubine Zhu came very quickly, and as soon as she entered the palace, she found that the atmosphere between the emperor and the empress was not right, so she was cautious.

"The concubine has seen His Majesty and the Empress." Concubine Zhu saluted.

"I'm asking you, you have to answer truthfully..." The emperor was more serious and carefully interrogated Concubine Zhu about her food and clothing expenses.

Soon after, the eunuch who went to Zhu Fei's palace to find out the truth quietly came in and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

When Concubine Zhu stepped back because she didn't understand, Su Wei asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, can you believe it now? If you still don't want to trust your concubine, you can also call Master Qin, who used to be in charge of the Inner Palace Bureau, to ask him. "

The emperor's expression was not very good-looking, and he said after a while: "Concubine Han used to be very good at food and clothing when she was the princess. Could it be that the status of my concubine is not as good as that of a princess?"

"Your majesty, you have a thorough understanding of the princess's bedroom." Su Wei smiled slightly, unable to tell whether the tone was ironic or normal.

The emperor coughed lightly when he heard this, but did not speak.

"Before she was made a concubine, Concubine Han was known as the adopted daughter of a concubine. As a princess, her food and clothing expenses were of course not as good as those of the ladies in the harem, but at that time, the concubine loved her, so she used her own food and clothing every month. Wear them to subsidize her expenses." Su Wei said, "Now that she is a concubine in the harem, she and I will be treated as sisters from now on, so naturally I don't need to subsidize her anymore."

"Your majesty." Su Wei looked at the silent emperor and said slowly, "What the concubine said is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can still send someone to investigate."

"No need to investigate!" The emperor waved his hand, looked at Su Wei thoughtfully, and said, "Queen, no matter what you said today is true or false, I don't want to go into it anymore. It's just that Concubine Han's status is special, and there are intrigues in the harem. , many people may embarrass Concubine Han because of your status as Queen. In this way, I plan to increase Concubine Han's title."

It was expected, so Su Wei didn't show much surprise, instead she looked calm.

"What your majesty thinks, the concubine naturally dare not disobey." Su Wei bent over and saluted, "It's just that the concubine is afraid, I hope your majesty will treat the concubine a little bit less in the future, and don't scold and protect the concubine in front of the palace people Concubine, Your Majesty, this is the second time you have rushed into the Nuanxin Palace in anger."

"Hmph." Sensing that Su Wei's words were ambiguous, the emperor left with a cold snort.The married couple who were also married in the past, now treat each other with a degree of indifference that is even worse than that of strangers.

Su Wei looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and the expression in her eyes gradually turned cold.

Such a fatuous and incompetent emperor is destined not to be a wise emperor.

On the second day, before the emperor's decree was issued, Su Wei first issued a decree in the name of the queen with a phoenix seal: Concubine Han was promoted to the second-class concubine.After all, it is the queen's job to canonize concubines. Always asking the emperor to override the queen to issue decrees will harm the queen's face and increase Concubine Han's momentum.Su Wei would never do such a stupid thing.
