The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

Guarding the warehouse is a fat job, as much oil and water as it goes in and out, most of the money that the Siyuan Bureau can make is here.Just because the job is so light, it is impossible for someone who has nothing to do with it to manage the warehouse.

Then Liao Bing is the nephew of the head of the Siyuan Bureau.Except for the keys to the warehouse, Liao Bing had a spare set of keys for all the houses in the yamen.

Yao Xi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the devastated room, she knew what happened.The Empress Dowager ordered people from the Si Yuan Bureau to arrest her in the palace. Naturally, these people thought that she would not survive last night, so they divided everything in a hurry.At least one person is involved in this matter, and it may be that the entire Department and Garden Bureau are involved.

Right now, if you want not to cause trouble for yourself, you should clean up the house as if nothing happened. She is a little handyman with no background and skills, and she can't offend Liao Bing and his group. Maybe it's what Eunuch Liao meant. not allowed.

But she didn't dare to just go there, it wasn't that she was greedy for money and couldn't bear the things that Zheng Da delivered.It's about bullying, there are two things in one thing, this time pretending to be a grandson and endure it, no one in the Siyuan Bureau will dare to bully her in the future.There are a lot of messy things in the eunuchs, but it's okay to let her take on more errands. I'm most afraid that someone who misses her appearance will mess around while she is being bullied and excluded.

No one expected that Yao Xi would come back alive from Ning'an Palace, Liao Bing dangled in front of Liao Yaoming, the seal of Si Yuan Bureau, until Liao Yaoming was dizzy.

"Go back if you have something to do. Have the things you bought in the morning been put into storage? Just hang around here." Liao Yaoming looked at his nephew who was not up to date, no matter how annoying he was, he dared not send him back to his hometown.It was because he entered the palace in order to exchange some money for the family to live on. There was an old mother in his hometown. After entering the palace, he was thousands of miles away from home. On weekdays, the old lady could only take care of her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Originally, with his help, his brother and sister-in-law would not sell their sons and daughters, but Liao Bing was jealous of the wealth and honor in Beijing, so he voluntarily entered the palace and became a eunuch.For the sake of prosperity and wealth, he is willing to cut everything across the board. That boy Liao Bing is ambitious enough, but unfortunately his vision is too narrow to see a small profit.

"Uncle, do you know? Yao Xi from our yamen came back from Ning'an Palace early in the morning." Liao Bing bowed.

"I'll be right back. What's the big deal!" Liao Yaoming sat in front of the case and checked yesterday's accounts. After the approval, he had to send it to the Supervisor of Rituals, and he didn't have time to listen to his nephew's vernacular.But Liao Bing's words reminded him that his subordinates made mistakes in front of the master, and he couldn't get rid of the responsibility, so he said to the young man next to him: "Command the person in charge of Yao Xi to teach that brat , don’t cause trouble for the Si Yuan Bureau.”

After taking the order, the long follower asked: "Is it an oral instruction or..."

"Just say a few words. The empress dowager doesn't have anyone to blame, so it's not up to us." Liao Yaoming is a genius, there is always a reason why the little eunuch was able to come back from Ning'an Palace alive.

Liao Bing waited for his uncle to finish his orders before he said in a low voice: "The bad thing is that my nephew thought that the kid wouldn't come back, so he took all the valuable things in his room..."

Liao Yaoming stopped his writing and glared at Liao Bing. "You took it for yourself?"

"Hey." Liao Bing leaned forward and said flatteringly, "They are all good things! I wanted to honor you early this morning."

"Do you think everyone is as shallow as your eyelids?" Liao Yaoming was so angry that he slapped Liao Bing with his backhand: "Are you also greedy for the things of the people below? Am I starving you or freezing you? Useless things .You don’t know who sent the things in that kid’s room? Don’t you know that Eunuch Zheng is getting close to that kid?”

Liao Bing covered his face and said bitterly, "I know. I really didn't expect him to come back."

"Eunuch Zheng is fine, I can still speak for you." Liao Yaoming was even more worried: "There was such a big commotion in Ning'an Palace last night, but that Yao Xi came back unscathed. It's not for begging Can he get back the Empress Dowager's favor?"

"Then I... quickly return the things?" Liao Bing was also terrified by the words.

"Idiot. Are you afraid that others won't know that you took it?" Liao Yaoming calmed down, and said: "Take and throw away the things. No matter how good they are saved, there will be things. Said your key was stolen."

"Okay, okay." Liao Bing responded hastily. "That Yao Xi, we have to be ancestors?"

"Not at all. It won't be too late to curry favor with that boy after he really wins the Empress Dowager's favor." Liao Yaoming recalled the turbulent last night, and sighed: "Then Yao Xi is also a troublemaker, it's best to find a reason to drive him to another yamen."

Liao Bing nodded thoughtfully, so anxious that Liao Yaoming kicked Liao Bing's ass hard: "You little bastard. Hurry up and throw your things away! Waiting for Yao Xi to lead someone to search your house will fail." ?”

"Yes yes yes." Liao Bing trotted away.

When Wan Yu woke up, the room was dark, thinking that she had slept until it was dark.

"What time is it?" Wan Yu didn't often stay up late, so she fell asleep day and night upside down, her head was groggy, and everything she saw was two shadows.

The maid serving at the side looked more closely, and replied: "Your Majesty, it's not even noon yet."

"Why is it so dark in the room at noon? You don't even turn on the lights." Wan Yu rubbed her forehead and sat up.

A court lady hurriedly lit the lamp, and the court lady who was being questioned continued: "Go back to your mother, it's cloudy today. The empress said that the treasury is tight, and let the palaces save some money."

"The national treasury is tight?" Wan Yu frowned, and ordered: "If you don't light the lamp, don't light it. Open the window and serve Ai's family to wash and change clothes." Suddenly remembered something, Wan Yu looked in the direction outside the hall and said: "The servant from the Siyuan Bureau has gone back?"

"Go back." The maid said.

"Tell him that he is guarding the cold palace tonight?" Wan Yu showed an expectant expression.

The palace maid nodded: "Aunt Xianqian told him about it."

When changing clothes and washing hands to prepare for lunch, Wan Yu sat at the table and stared at the dishes on the table with cold eyes.Today's lunch is really simple, with only a dozen dishes, and there are only two dishes of big meat.

The entire Ning'an Palace palace people didn't dare to take a deep breath when they saw their master's expression was so bad.

"Heh~" Wan Yu sneered: "Who will pass on the meal? It's all vegetable leaves, feeding Ai's family like cattle and horses?"

The eunuchs of Ning'an Palace were not allowed to serve him closely, and all the maids in the room were so frightened that they knelt down.

Wan Yu glanced at the maids in the room, grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it to an empty place, shouting: "Which servant passed on the meal!"

A little maid looked like she was about to cry, and knelt two steps forward and explained: "Your maidservant... The servant girl passed it on. The empress said, starting from today, Ning'an Palace will have eighteen dishes for each meal, and the empress's palace will have ten dishes. For five dishes, the masters of each palace have lowered a lot..."

The empress is taking care of the affairs of the harem, Wan Yu is not a person who likes to worry about it, and she doesn't bother to take care of it, whether it's jealousy among concubines or minions fighting each other.But in order to please the emperor and compete for favor with other people, the empress actually wanted to implicate her so much that she couldn't live well, okay?Go dreaming!

"Call the queen to Ai's family! She loves to eat this pile of vegetable leaves, so Ai's family will eat every bite!"

Wan Yu was not opposed to frugality, but she was extremely disgusted with the queen's pretentious behavior to please her.If she really wanted to save money for Daxingguo, the queen should persuade her spendthrift father first, even if she wanted to use the harem for surgery, she should reduce it to the right place.Is lamp oil the biggest expense of the harem?Is it a dish?neither.It is the jewelry, clothes, rouge and gouache for all the ladies and gentlemen.Are you capable of subtracting these?Look at those women who love beauty so much that they don't tear themselves apart with the queen.

The meals of the palace masters were rarely wasted. Seeing that dozens of dish masters only ate two mouthfuls, they would reward the servants below when they finished their meals. There was very little waste.

When Empress Zhu heard that she was going to Ning'an Palace, she suddenly lost her appetite while eating. "Did the queen mother tell me what she wanted to do with me?"

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree shook his head.

Zhu knew it would not be a good thing, she was in charge of everything in the harem, but she was crushed to death by the queen mother.Those assassins who broke into the Ning'an Palace at night were quite useless, every time they killed palace maids and eunuchs, they didn't even hurt Wan Yu's hair.She was sincerely looking forward to Wan Yu's death. If Wan Yu hadn't been hindering her everywhere in this palace, she would have cleaned up those little goblins who bewitched the Sacred Heart long ago.How can it be wrong to dress virtuously and save money if you don't eat well or use it poorly.

"Let's go, let's go!" Mrs. Zhu picked up the towel and dabbed her mouth, anyway, she couldn't avoid it.The first emperor really managed to protect Wan Yu forever without any worries, and even left a will to protect Wan Yu after everyone died.If the emperor has this heart for her, she doesn't have to fight with others.

Mrs. Zhu entered the dining room of Ning'an Palace, and saw that the food on the table had not been touched, and there were broken porcelain slags on the ground, so she knew that she had guessed right.There must be many people who are dissatisfied with the drastic reduction in the expenses of each palace, but only the Queen Mother dares to confront her.

"My son has met the queen mother. It seems that the queen mother invited the son to come and accompany me for a meal?" Mrs. Zhu saluted Wan Yu with a haha.

With a slight smile on her face, Wan Yu ordered Zhu Shi to sit down: "No, there are too many dishes sent by the Shangshan Supervisor today, how can the Ai family eat alone?"

"My son has already eaten." Mrs. Zhu also has no appetite, and it is inevitable that she will have to suffer a little bit to please the emperor.In fact, the one in Ning'an Palace is already the best, and her meal is three dishes less than the Empress Dowager's. Fortunately, if you are hungry, you can pay for the small kitchen to make it yourself, so you won't lose your mouth.

Every time the harem reduces the expenses of each palace, it is time for everyone to fight for their wealth.

Those with a lot of money should live their lives as usual, as long as they pretend to be in front of the emperor and carry some people on their backs when using good things.The bitter thing is that those poor families who enter the palace do not have much money in the first place, and when the monthly money is reduced, life will be even more difficult.But the servants of the yamen have to be rewarded with silver. Needless to say, the people in their own palaces usually get rewarded during the New Year and festivals. You have no money?Then it's no wonder that the servants didn't care enough to serve you, and it's even no wonder that some servants collude with others to plot against you in order to change their masters.

So Mrs. Zhu didn't understand why Wan Yu was making a fuss, and the pain was not on her empress dowager's head. Although Wan Yu's mother's family was gone, the thoughtful and thoughtful Da Xing Qing Sheng Xiandi left a small treasury for the empress dowager. , not referring to the monthly routine in the palace.

"I heard that the empress has cut the expenses of the various palaces and wants to save money for the emperor?" Wan Yu looked at the green dishes and said to Zhu with a smile: "The empress is also young. How much money can you save by doing this? It’s a pity that you have the heart, but you can’t find the right way.”

"Oh? What should I do according to my mother's advice?" Zhu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Wan Yu was going to use this to make trouble, but she didn't expect to ask her to come over to help her with ideas.

Wan Yu showed a mysterious smile: "Did the emperor say how much money is short?"

"I heard that the difference is more than 200 million taels." Mrs. Zhu replied respectfully.

Wan Yu pinched her fingers to calculate, smiled and said to Zhu Shi: "Not much!"

"Does the queen mother have an idea?" Zhu's brows were raised.Is Wan Yu willing to use the money from the small treasury to fill the gap in the national treasury?

"Hmm. Let's see, Queen!" Wan Yu picked up a big lump of green leafy vegetables for Mrs. Zhu, and said kindly, "Try it."

Zhu Shi didn't dare to refute Wan Yu's face, reluctantly stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it with tea.Just after she swallowed the bowl in front of her, there were many more dishes, and when she turned her head, Wan Yu was looking at her with a loving smile, like a loving mother who is watching whether her children are obediently eating.

"Eat more. There's more to come." Wan Yu's heart felt dark for a while.

"Mother, my son has already had his meal, and if he eats again, he will not be able to digest it." Zhu shrugged in embarrassment.

Wan Yu frowned and seemed to be worried about Mrs. Zhu's body when she heard this, she got up and served Mrs. Zhu a bowl of soup in a blink of an eye: "Then drink some of this? It's for digestion." That motherly smile: "Good boy. Don't leave until you finish eating!"
