The emperor pondered for a moment and was moved by An Lingrong's next sentence.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." An Lingrong pointed out the expenses to the Emperor.

"The palace maids who were supposed to be released in those two years have not left the palace, but the annual election has not stopped. The palace has already had sufficient manpower, and the annual expenses alone are a large amount of income."

When the emperor saw the expenses, he immediately made a decision: "Let those palace servants who were supposed to go home be released."

The emperor felt a little heartbroken when he thought about how much money could have been saved.

Fortunately, he had previously asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. If this problem had been discovered earlier, why would he have wronged the concubines in the harem?

He is an emperor. Even the money of the harem and concubines has to be saved, which is really a bit embarrassing.

An Lingrong achieved his goal and closed the account book with great satisfaction.

The next day, I went to Xianfu Palace to discuss with Concubine Jing. When Concubine Jing heard the emperor's decision, she said that she would also choose the candidate.

An Lingrong and Jing Bin thought about it for several days and came up with the final list.

Not a single rumor was leaked.

Concubine Jing hated Concubine Nian. She had been the princess in Nian Shilan's courtyard since she was hiding in the mansion, and she was tortured unspeakably by the minute Kung Fu.

After so many years, she could not forget the humiliation and pain every time she saw Nian Shilan.

As the saying goes, the people who know you best are often your enemies.

Concubine Jing's understanding of Concubine Nian was far deeper than others imagined, and she also uncovered many connections that had been buried deep within Concubine Nian.

If it weren't for the thirty-year-old age limit, Jingbi could still find more!

The age of thirty was proposed by An Lingrong.

After all, no matter how old she is, her reasons for letting the palace maid out are somewhat untenable.

A palace maid in her thirties, neither above nor below her, would inevitably make people feel that the royal family is cold and cold.

And Cui Jinxi was included in this list.

After An Lingrong and Jingbi discussed it, they jointly issued an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

An Lingrong held the emperor's tiger-skin banner, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs swallowed up all his dissatisfaction.

By the time the queen and concubine Nian knew about it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already started to proceed.

The queen turned pale with anger, especially when she knew that the palace maid she let out had her own agenda. She almost wanted to break up with An Lingrong in Chengqian Palace!

This was clearly a step too far, trying to overstep her authority and challenge her majesty as a queen!

The queen now hates An Lingrong deeply, and she knows that this is what the other party proposed without even thinking about it.

Concubine Jing is an old man, and her time in charge of the palace is not short, so she needs to do it early.

Fortunately, now I have only lost some of my manpower on the surface, but not secretly. I am much better than Concubine Nian.

Happiness comes from contrast. When the queen thought about it, she instantly felt balanced.

Yikun Palace.

When Concubine Nian heard the news about Songzhi, she was so angry that she threw her pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the ground.

"I just fell out of favor temporarily, how dare they make such a mistake!"

Concubine Nian was even more annoyed when she saw Songzhi picking up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"What are you picking up?! Your Majesty doesn't care about me, so what else can I write about!"

"My dear, the more this happens, the more you have to calm down!"

Songzhi comforted her with sincere words: "My queen, they just want to make you angry now so that the emperor will be even more angry with you. You must not fall into the trap!"

After hearing this, the concubine Nian felt as if she had woken up from a dream. He said in a panic: "Yes, these bitches just want to add insult to injury and steal my favor! I must make the emperor change his mind!"

She hurriedly asked Songzhi to put in a new pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started writing word for word again.

She has tolerated the loss of her connections, and if she doesn't have them, she just needs to train them. The most indispensable thing in the palace is manpower.

As long as he can regain his favor and regain the power of the palace, he will have many ways to deal with them in the future!

Concubine Nian only regretted that she had been too kind and soft-hearted in the past, and was not too cruel to Concubine Jing and Concubine Xian.

Otherwise, how could there be such humiliation today?

Since Cui Jinxi was kicked out of Suiyuxuan, she went to Yonghe Palace under the care of Su Peisheng.

There is no master in Yonghe Palace, so Jin Xi is still the maid in charge here.

Although it is leisurely, it is not what Jinxi wants.

But now she has no one she can rely on, so she can only wait silently.

When Zhen Huan is promoted to concubine, she can ask Su Peisheng to transfer her to Sui Yuxuan.

Jin Xi, who had received the kindness of Queen Chunyuan, was very sure that Zhen Huan would be favored and it would only be a matter of time before she became a concubine.

Although she heard that Concubine Xian was favored more now, as long as the Emperor still remembered Empress Chunyuan, Zhen Guiren would not be ignored.

But I never expected that I would be on the list of being released from the palace!

Although she heard the news that the palace maid would be let out, she didn't expect it to happen to her at all.

When informed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Cui Jinxi suddenly became anxious.

She gave money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stay, but was rejected.

In the end, Cui Jinxi had no choice but to beg Su Peisheng again.

In fact, she didn't want to owe Su Peisheng so many favors. Since ancient times, the debt of favor has been the hardest to repay.

And she knew very well that Su Peisheng was somewhat interested in her.

But Cui Jinxi didn't want to confront the eunuch, even if he was the most capable eunuch around the emperor. She didn't want to either.

But apart from Su Peisheng, she had no other son.

After Su Peisheng received Cui Jinxi's request, he immediately agreed to the matter.

I thought it was a small matter, but it was rejected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

"Eunuch Su, this is not a big deal. Logically speaking, even a slave can handle it."

Jiang Zhongmin smiled apologetically at Su Peisheng: "If it were normal times, there would be no need for you to go there in person? But this time the personnel were selected by Concubine Xian personally, and Concubine Xian had already spoken. There is only one person on the list. It cannot be changed, she must nod it in person. Moreover, this matter is approved by the emperor, so I really don’t have the guts to make my own decision!"

"Concubine Xian made the decision personally?"

Su Peisheng frowned, feeling doubtful in his heart.

Concubine Xian let go of the palace maids, why did she include Jin Xi?

Although he didn't understand, Su Peisheng felt that she was just a palace maid. It shouldn't be difficult for him to plead with An Lingrong to save Jin Xi.

Because Su Peisheng was following the emperor, he couldn't escape easily.

And as the favored person around the emperor, colluding with the concubine is a taboo.

After a few days, Su Peisheng finally found an opportunity to go to Chengqian Palace.

It's not that he doesn't want to beg the emperor, but he doesn't dare to beg the emperor because of Jin Xi.

After all, Concubine Xian was responsible for this. Although he could bypass Concubine Xian and keep Jinxi here by begging the emperor, he would lose Concubine Xian's face.

Jin Xi will still be in the harem in the future, what if Concubine Xian hates her?

Su Peisheng had to think more about Jin Xi.

An Lingrong was a little surprised when she saw Su Peisheng coming to Chengqian Palace to find her. She had thought that Su Peisheng would beg the emperor.

"What's the matter with Eunuch Su? But what is the emperor's purpose?"

Su Peisheng was startled when he was asked, and hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Replying to Concubine Xian, the emperor has no will. It is the servant who has a private matter that he wants to ask Concubine Xian to fulfill."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

An Lingrong asked knowingly, but Su Peisheng peeked at her face and said cautiously: "I have a fellow countryman who has relatives at home, so he doesn't want to leave the palace. Can you please forgive me, Concubine Xian?"

An Lingrong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked his name with a curious look.

After learning that it was Cui Jinxi, she took out the list and looked for it.

Suddenly he said "Ah" and pointed at Cui Jinxi's name with regret: "Eunuch Su, you are a step too late."
