Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

There are two pregnant women in the palace, but the children in their wombs have masters, so it is generally peaceful.Liu Changzai's child is no accident, and Chang's concubine is already a concubine, so the child can raise her own.And what accidents can happen to Baoqin, besides the queen and the emperor, she has sex the most times, and is also the favorite of the queen mother. Both brothers are promising, unless she herself has a brain twitch, or dies of a serious illness one day.

But looking at her going to and from the Palace of Compassion, the Palace of Mental Cultivation, and the Palace of Kunning every day, and occasionally going to the Palace of Qianqing, her steps are light and brisk, and the little maids have to trot all the way to keep up. You know that she is in good health. What a surprise.

Liu Chang has been completely silent since the reversal incident last time. Apart from paying respects to the Empress Dowager, she doesn't even leave the gate of Qixiang Palace, and walks in the palace. As the child grows older day by day, he will completely withdraw from people's sight.

Concubine Chang's belly was a month or two later than Liu Changzai's, and when she wore winter clothes, she happily went out with her big belly all day long.Unlike Liu Changzai, she is now showing off in a high-profile way, but these have nothing to do with Baoqin, and she still stays in the Empress Dowager's Palace three out of five days.

For the remaining two days, listen to Ruicheng's complaints.Since the last time she revealed a little bit of "major court affairs" related to her in front of her, Ruicheng seemed to be addicted.In fact, the job of being an emperor is not easy, and the pressure is too great.

Especially Ruicheng claims to be a wise king, or he has always planned to be a wise king, and this is what he demands of himself.So first of all, when the ministers quarrel, well, when they have different political opinions, he can't show obvious likes and dislikes, and he has to listen to others.

But God knows who was born as a Jinshi, and the officials who have cultivated their sentiments in the Imperial Academy for so many years quarreled like this... It was exactly the same as when he was a little prince in the early years, seeing the irony of his father's concubines overtly and secretly, Almost pulled my hair out.

Moreover, under the influence of the slightly "violent" queen, Ruicheng really wanted to say: "I can't bear it anymore, roll up your sleeves, the one who survives the fight has the final say."

The above only exists in the emperor's fantasy, the fact is this:

When the ministers of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry quarreled over the funding of the Ministry of Industry next year, the Minister of the Ministry of War also got involved. If the Ministry of Industry has more money, the Ministry of War will have less money, but the military salary cannot be reduced.Well, everyone understands the truth.

Minister of the Household Department: There is a severe drought in five provinces this year, and there is not enough money.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry: Build a dam, build a dam, otherwise you will be responsible for the flood next year.

Minister of the Ministry of War: Reduce military expenditure?Reduce military pay?Are you sure?

At first, Ruicheng listened to it quite interestingly. At that time, several officials were still rational, and their speeches were secretly sarcastic, and they could quote a few famous quotes from famous people. It took a lot of brains to understand.Later, when my temper came up and I talked about blushing and thick neck, I could only hehe.

After Ruicheng's coughing was drowned out, he could only throw out a teacup. Quiet was quiet. Several ministers knelt on the ground in unison, buried their heads deeply, and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision!" When I got up, I was still a little teary.

"My dear friends, please get up." Ruicheng said, he got up, but he still had to say something. "All the lovers are the pillars of the country, and your opinions are very pertinent. In this way, all of you will go back and make a detailed list of plans for next year. I will take a closer look before making a decision."

It's over for the time being, but Ruicheng also knows that if there is a severe drought, there will be disaster relief and tax relief, but the dam must be repaired, and the military salary cannot be reduced.There is not enough money in the treasury so that if this problem cannot be solved, there will be quarrels next time.

Maybe Ruicheng already has some ideas about the source of this money, otherwise why did he come to find Baoqin.

With hot black tea and slightly sweet snacks, Ruicheng quickly relaxed, and after saying a few words, he felt much better, saying: "The treasury's money is not enough, the emperor's private treasury is still If you have silver, you can leave it anyway.”

Baoqin listened quietly, and when Ruicheng stopped talking, he took out a small box from the back bedroom and said, "This is the money I got from the palace in the past two months."

Ruicheng was a little emotional when he received the hand, and listened to Baoqin and said: "When I was at home earlier, I always heard from my father that the problems that can be solved with money are small problems." It's gone.

Baoqin saw that his complexion was getting better and better, so he poured him another cup of tea, Ruicheng said: "The emperor's private treasury has been handed down for several generations, and it is enough for a few years. Or when the harvest is good, it can be replenished." go back."

Baoqin followed suit and nodded, it's not easy to answer the question at this time, do you want to talk about copying Jia's mansion, how much money they have in the mansion, we have to wait for the emperor to say it first.

However, Ruicheng adjusted himself, and did not continue to cite the topic of the small emptiness of the national treasury. After praising the delicious snacks, he turned around and asked: "You said last time that Jia Bin's aunt got married. Wanliang's dowry?"

This is what I was waiting for, and Baoqin smiled brightly, "My mother said that she almost bought all the jewelry in the capital for a year."

Ruicheng was thoughtful, and changed the subject as if covering up, "Why don't you mention Liu Changzai in your palace?"

Baoqin's face froze, why don't you turn around so fast, I want to talk about the gauze used by Jia's mansion to paste the windows. "Your Majesty," Bao Qin said, "I will take good care of Liu Changzai, but isn't Your Majesty here to see me today?"

Ruicheng laughed twice, "Let me take a good look."

The next day, I went to the Empress Dowager's Palace with Qin, and told the Empress Dowager exactly how she took care of Liu Changzai, what time did she start, what did she eat in the morning, what did she eat for lunch, as well as snacks and soups? No matter what, I didn't miss it at all.

The queen mother was very happy, because Baoqin gave back more detailed explanation than what she sent to Liu Changzai's nanny, so it can be seen that she is careful and aware of the general situation.

So when Ruicheng came over and complained that Baoqin was a bit jealous, the Queen Mother smiled and patted him twice, "She really cares about you. Look, when she comes back to me, she doesn't care about every detail, even Liu Chang has recorded everything he ate in a booklet, and he knows when he goes to bed in the morning and evening. Let me tell you, go to her palace and get along well with others, don't mention others when you have nothing to do."

It was only then that Ruicheng suddenly realized, is she being awkward?But when I go to Baoqin Palace, I will pay more and more attention, and I won't mention others.

When the first snow fell in winter, Liang Dafu sent the news that Jia's family was dead, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, both front and rear legs died in one day.

Qin Keqing knew a thing or two about the cause of Qin Keqing's death, even if he died earlier, it was nothing more than the arrival of the backer.As for Wang Xifeng... the only thing that has changed is Baoqin's family. So, Wang Xifeng has something to do with her father's death?

Baoqin sneered a few times, it's a good thing you died early, otherwise you might suffer some kind of crime later?After thinking for a while, she called the eunuch from her palace over, and said: "You go to the eunuch Xia in Jiapin's palace, and tell him that something happened at Jiapin's house, and there is no need to mention the rest."

The eunuch led the order to go, holding the piano and counting the days, Xiaobao must be back soon.
