The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Qiqige is a trustworthy businessman (local) and person (bandit). She agreed to collect money and release people, and she kept her word.

She put the cash into the box, and then waved to the children, "Okay, we'll get both money and goods, and you can go back."

The children saluted and left, and when they left, they reluctantly looked at the big box containing silver, which was all their pocket money!

Qiqige looked at these children with an extremely gentle gaze, as if looking at a vault, "I hope you will come to bully me often, and I will always wait for you in Xian'an Palace!"

The children felt cold, and ran in small steps to leave this horrible place.

The monthly allowance of the princess and the prince is not much, 20 taels a month.Children don't need money to live in the palace, but they need money to reward servants.It was not easy to save some money, but this time it was fine, and was swept away by Qiqige.

The children's plan failed but they were robbed, and they ate a salty and sour meal, which traumatized their bodies and minds.

They feel aggrieved and dare not file a complaint. After all, they were the ones who had the bad intentions first, so it's unreasonable to speak out!

Qiqige didn't say anything outside, she had to keep quiet to get rich, how could she make money if she shouted out?

The two sides kept silent tacitly, but the more silent the more curious people are.

When the emperor greeted Qiqige, he asked about it, "Why did those children mess with the emperor's mother? I heard that you took away all their monthly bills."

Qiqige looked at him coldly, "What? You came to settle accounts with me?"

The emperor repeatedly denied the desire to survive, "No! I'm afraid those little bastards will make you angry!"

Qiqige nodded in satisfaction, as expected of her big brother, this is the result of her childhood training.

"The kids were well behaved and we just made a very fair deal."

The emperor asked: "What deal? What will they get after handing over the monthly bill?"

Qiqige blinked, and she made it up, "Well...they will get my love."

The emperor said meaningfully: "Oh, it turns out that the empress's love can be bought with money."

"Yes, do you want to buy it? 15 taels of silver for a quarter of an hour. Since you are my son, I can make it cheaper for you."

The emperor: "Don't buy it..." Love is too precious to afford.

It's fine if the client doesn't want to pay. He just made a small fortune a few days ago, and Qiqige is not in a hurry to fill up the small treasury.

The emperor didn't know how to be grateful for being released by Qiqige, and he dared to complain, "Fortunately, the emperor's mother is not a businessman, otherwise you must be the most black-hearted profiteer in the world."

Qiqige waved her hands modestly, "Oh! I'm so overwhelmed, I dare not take it, I don't dare to take it!"

Emperor: I didn't mean to praise you...

"After so many years, the empress's love for money has not changed at all. How much money do you have for the children, do you have the heart to figure it out?"

"It turns out that you love the child..." Qiqige looked at him and said sincerely, "You can redeem their pocket money, and I will only charge you [-]% of the interest."

This is really an unbelievable suggestion. Wouldn't it be good for the emperor to give the money directly to the child?Why do you have to change hands to let Qiqige make the difference?

The emperor hurriedly slipped away on the pretext of being busy with government affairs, he couldn't stay here any longer, and his pocket money would be gone if he stayed any longer.

Seeing the emperor walking away, Qiqige sighed in disappointment, she really wanted to be a porter of pocket money.

The days passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and Niu Hulu's family was about to give birth.Niu Hulu's family background is good, and the queen mother likes it. In order to win her over, the queen is very concerned about her childbirth.

At the end of October, the weather was clear and the air was slightly cool. Niu Hulu gave birth to a princess in Yikun Palace.

Knowing that Niu Hulu had given birth to a daughter, the queen was secretly relieved.She ordered someone to pick out the gift again, which made the gift thicker.

Niu Hulu is ice-snow smart, the empress is so obvious, how could she not understand what the empress means?She sighed secretly in her heart, rejoicing over and over again that she gave birth to a daughter.

The emperor likes children. This year, three children were born in the palace. The emperor wants to raise the status of the concubines in the palace.Seeing that the Chinese New Year would be two months away, the emperor thought that he might as well take advantage of the excitement and hold the canonization ceremony during the Chinese New Year.

Niu Hulu's daughter was conferred the title of Noble Concubine, Wu Ya's was given the title of Concubine, and the rest were often titled Nobles.

Qiqige sent a gift to the newborn princess, and another gift to Niu Hulu to congratulate her on being made a noble concubine.She also advised Niu Hulu to sit in the confinement period, and told her not to come to school in a hurry, but to have a good rest.

Qiqige sympathized with her coolies, and gave Niu Hulu two years of maternity leave, one year of pregnancy, and one year of childcare.Anyway, with Concubine Tong, the No. [-] coolie, Qi Qige was very, very generous.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, this year there will be a canonization ceremony, which is more lively than previous years.

However, Qiqige was unhappy.

During the New Year, you can wear new clothes, set off firecrackers, eat delicious food, and put up window grilles. These are all very good.But it is very bad and very bad to give out lucky money during the Chinese New Year.

Especially Qiqige's seniority is high, with a lot of sons and grandchildren, and the New Year's money is a big expenditure.

Poor Qiqi Gexin worked so hard to pull the wool everywhere, and finally the wool returned to the sheep!

Around the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor sealed the pen for a holiday, and the school officially closed for the holiday.Kids can have fun and play while adults stay busy.

The emperor has to go to worship the heavens and ancestors, and the queen has to prepare various matters for the New Year.On New Year's Eve, a family banquet was held in the palace, and the emperor sat at a table by himself, while the concubines sat on the left and right sides according to their status.Both the prince and the princess were still young, and the emperor asked them to sit beside Er Niang.

There are cold meals and hot meals at the banquet, followed by wine meals and tea meals, followed by pastries, side dishes, soup, porridge, candied fruit and other food.There are a lot of long-winded food, but it's a pity that people only have one mouth, so where can they eat.

There will be singing, dancing and opera performances at the banquet, interspersed with the toasts of the concubines, those who are uneducated will say auspicious words, and those who are a little educated will compose a poem.The contents of the auspicious words and poems are very simple. They are nothing more than praising the emperor as a wise king in a prosperous age, saying that he is comparable to Yao and Shun, which is very false.

The children are also miserable. Not only do they have to say auspicious words, but they also have to be tested by the emperor.According to their learning progress, the emperor gave various topics, some of which were poems, and some were endorsements and interpretations.

When it came to the emperor's questioning session, Qiqige sat on the sidelines and felt anxious. Taking the exam in front of her parents was even scarier than asking questions in class. It was like going back to class in a dream.

Qiqige hates the New Year's Eve palace banquet. She wears heavy clothes and heavy jewelry, listens to concubines flattering, and feels the tense atmosphere of class questions... It's even better when she goes back to Xian'an Palace to pick her feet!

It's a pity that this is the only rule of the palace banquet. She doesn't want to listen to people's flattery. The concubines also think this is an opportunity to show their faces, and they like it very much. Qiqige can't block her way of advancement.

On New Year's Eve, Qiqige stays up until the early hours of the morning and eats a meal of vegetarian dumplings. The palace banquet is almost over.She went back to catch up on sleep, and the children would come to kowtow to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the first lunar month the next day.

The juniors who came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the first lunar month were not only children from the palace, but also children from the clan, such as the children of Fuquan and others.

Qiqige is depressed and has no energy to entertain, and she doesn't want the children to kowtow, as long as they bow and bow, they will give money.

She doesn't want to continue this activity for too long, it hurts.

The first one to receive the money was the eldest princess. She was dressed in red today, and she was dressed like a little red envelope.

"I wish the imperial grandmother a long life and eternal youth."

Qiqige nodded perfunctorily, she picked up a purse, which contained a few gold lockets, she stuffed the purse into the eldest princess's hand and asked her to leave.

"Enn, ok ok. Next!"

Next is the elder brother. The eldest elder brother is wearing a royal blue dress, his height has grown a lot, and he looks like a handsome young man.

"Congratulations to the emperor's grandmother for a happy new year and all the best."

Qiqige grabbed the purse and stuffed it into the child's hand as usual, "Okay, okay, you're welcome, next."

A few children in the palace stood aside after receiving the red envelopes as a matter of routine, and then came the children of the clan.

Baotai, Fuquan's son, came forward to bow to him. He looked a lot like Fuquan, but he looked much smarter than Fuquan when he was a child.

"Imperial Grandmother, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become beautiful again?"

Who doesn't like to hear people praise themselves, after hearing this, Qiqige burst into laughter.The smile just now was a perfunctory, business-like smile, but after hearing this, it is a genuine smile.

"You glib kid!"

Baotai shook his head seriously, "Grandmother, Baotai is the most obedient child, and never tells lies! You are really much more beautiful! You say that the appearance is the same, and the emperor's grandmother is the real one. And kind."

Qiqige was coaxed into a smile, she grabbed several purses, and stuffed them all into Baotai, "Good boy, take them back and play!"

The eldest princess and the others looked eagerly, and they all said auspicious and pleasant words, so why did Baotai get so many purses!They are only one!

Elder Brother and the princesses were dissatisfied, especially the third princess, who wanted to make trouble on the spot.

The eldest princess covered her sister's mouth, the third princess was young and ignorant, and there were still Baotai and others here, so if they wanted to make a fuss, they shouldn't make a fuss now.

After Qiqige finished distributing the red envelopes and sent the children to play outside, Baotai and others obediently left, but the princes and daughters refused to leave.

The eldest princess threw herself on Qiqige's lap and complained about the lack of money, "Grandmother! Why did you give Baotai so much money!"

Qiqige asked: "Why do you think?"

The second princess threw herself on Qiqige's other knee, "Because grandma is partial!"

Qiqige plausibly said, "I am not partial at all, because Baotai said something nice, so I gave more money, this is a fair trade."

The elder brother shouted: "Grandmother, we have also spoken auspicious words!"

Qiqige: "I don't like to hear your auspicious words, I just like to hear others praise me."

She suddenly had an idea, "Let's have a fair deal! Come and praise me, and I'll give you money. Come on! I'm ready!"

Kids: We're not ready!
