I am the Queen

Chapter 128 Empress Virtue

"Master, the spies from Fifth Elder Brother's house came to report that Fifth Elder Brother doted on a maid named Chuchun next to Little Yanzi last night." Feng Ling whispered in Lingxin's ear.

"These fifth elder brothers say that they are devoted to Little Swallow and only love Little Swallow all their lives, but they don't do it in practice. Men, they always say one thing and act another way." Lingxin used After breakfast, she took the water from Nanny Rong and was rinsing her mouth.

"Jing Xian, you can't overwhelm someone with one shot, I'm not." Qianlong rushed to Lingkun Palace of Lingxin after his court.

"Why are you here at this time?" Lingxin looked at Qianlong wonderingly.

"It's a pity that I want to have breakfast with you as soon as I go to court, you just hurt my heart." Qianlong shook his head pretending to be sad.

"I've already finished my breakfast, you just came here, you are not sincere at all." Looking at Qianlong's funny look, Lingxin felt very sweet in her heart. Now when there are no outsiders, they are more like an ordinary couple.

"At first I wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems that I have to eat alone." Qianlong asked Madam Rong to bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks to use Lingxin's leftover food.

"Have someone prepare another serving for you. I have eaten these before." Lingxin saw that Qianlong ate his own food without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, what do I eat if you eat, it makes us look more like a husband and wife, it's too extravagant, now that Gansu is in drought, it's better to be frugal, and you can give the saved silver taels to the victims, as much as you want?" Qianlong thought of the recent Gansu is suffering from drought, and I am so busy with this matter, and the war in Tibet is over, Ba Leben will bring his Princess Seya to Beijing.

"How do those of us in the deep palace know what it means to suffer from hunger and cold? I think so. When they come to pay their respects tomorrow, I will mobilize those concubines to donate some silver to the victims. It doesn't matter how much. The key is to look at the heart. It can relieve your worries and troubles, and it can show that the emperor's concubines also care about the common people." Lingxin wanted to solve Qianlong's worries and problems.

"I still don't need your silver taels." Qianlong ate millet porridge and answered Lingxin's words. Lingxin could think of sharing his worries. He felt that he did not love the wrong person, and Lingxin was a good queen.

"Although there are not many of them, they can be dealt with for a while. I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but as the mother of a country, can I sit idly by knowing that my people have something to do?" Lingxin knew that the drought there was like Very serious, some even let their children drink their own blood.

"Jingxian, you can do whatever you think, but it's just fundraising, and I can't do anything else. I don't want to receive a memorial from the imperial censor saying that the empress interferes in politics." Qianlong also made sense after thinking about it, and he was also worried about where to go. Silver, but fortunately the war in Tibet is over, it can save a lot of expenses, otherwise it is really one head and two big.The money for Huijiang has been prepared and will not be used easily.

"I'll go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning first, and tell the Empress Empress about this. I believe the Empress Empress will support me. Later, I'll ask Nanny Rong to wear the clothes that I don't usually wear but won't go too far. Pack up the casual clothes, and take out 5000 taels from my private treasury. I will ask Grandma Rong’s grandson to buy those clothes in the Longyuan Building. The businessmen's wives will definitely rush to buy." Lingxin thought of the way of charity sale to make more money.

"It's just up to you to decide, there's still work ahead, I'll go and get busy first." Qianlong had breakfast while listening to Lingxin.

"Master, this old slave also has some private money, you can take it out." Mother Rong said after watching Qianlong leave.

"Your Majesty, servants are also willing to bring some silver taels." After Mammy Rong finished speaking, the maids and eunuchs of Lingkun Palace also knelt down in front of Lingxin.

"You guys are interested, but your salaries are not much, and some of you have to rely on that little money to support your family. How dare I want you." Lingxin thought arrogantly when she saw that her palace servants were so caring. My own master teaches well.

"Your Majesty, although there are not many slaves, one tael is one tael, and the accumulation of a small amount makes a lot, which is also a little bit of our heart." A rough envoy maid said boldly.

"Yes, master, you will fulfill everyone's kindness." Feng Ling persuaded.

"Okay, but you have to do what you can. Mother Rong, you are here to deal with it. Fengling, you go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace with me, and there is no need to pour out the rest of my meal in the future. I will reward you all." Ling Ling Xin knew that there was a lot left over from every meal, but she poured it out after she finished eating.

"Thank you, ma'am." Those palace people were overjoyed. They knew that although it was left over, it was much better than what they usually used. desire.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is seeking to see you outside." Nanny Gui entered the Buddhist hall and reported to the Empress Dowager who was reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Jingxian, why is she here at this time?" The queen mother felt strange, Lingxin knew that she was in the Buddhist hall at this hour, and she usually would not come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

"The servants don't know either, the empress only said that she wanted to greet the Queen Mother." Nanny Gui helped the Queen Mother up.

"Let's go." The queen mother went to see Lingxin without saying anything.

"The empress dowager is here."

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Lingxin knelt down and saluted with the wind chime in hand.

"Stay flat." The Empress Dowager walked to the main seat with the support of Nanny Gui.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Lingxin got up and stood beside the Empress Dowager.

"Jing Xian, you have something to report to Ai's family." The Empress Dowager took a sip of the ginseng tea offered by Nanny Gui.

"The Empress Dowager is really good at predicting things." Lingxin and the Queen Mother are getting along more like a mother and daughter now.

"Okay, stop flattering Ai's family." The queen mother looked at the daughter-in-law who was the best at playing tricks in front of her.

"Emperor's mother, today the emperor told his concubine that there is a severe drought in Gansu, and many victims are hungry. The daughter-in-law thinks that she can't help many important national affairs, and the ancestral family law, the harem is not allowed to participate in politics. But this time in Gansu During the severe drought, the daughter-in-law could see that the emperor was very worried about it. It was more or less because of the money. The daughter-in-law thought that as a queen, she should do something for her people that did not violate the family law of the ancestors, so the daughter-in-law wanted to raise funds for the disaster victims. The money, how much can temporarily relieve the emperor's urgent need." Lingxin said deliberatively.

"The Ai family is very pleased that Jingxian has such a heart. You are kind-hearted like your aunt. The Ai family supports you in this matter. The Ai family took out 1 taels from the Ai family's private treasury. Jing Xian , This is a little thought from the Ai family." The more the queen mother looked at it, the more she felt that Lingxin was a good wife.

"The daughter-in-law kowtowed to the Queen Mother on behalf of those victims." Lingxin knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother. "Emperor Niang, if my daughter-in-law wants to mobilize those concubines, she will get some of them. My daughter-in-law also wants to reveal this idea to some members of the clan's Fujin."

"Jingxian, you have this kind of heart. The Ai family is very pleased, but the Ai family is afraid that those people will say that you are involved in politics. You must know that the people in our harem from the top to the bottom of the Ai family agreed, and the plaque erected above us that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics , to a sharp sword." The Empress Dowager pulled Lingxin over and let Lingxin sit beside her.

"Mother of the Emperor, my daughter-in-law knows, and my daughter-in-law also knows how to measure. My daughter-in-law did not interfere with the emperor's government affairs, but simply wanted to do something for the victims." Lingxin saw that the queen mother was so considerate of herself, and knew that she was completely concerned about her. Be your own.

"The Ai family knows that you don't like to take care of things. Even the affairs of the harem are handed over to the two noble concubines. The Ai family is old, and there are some things that the Ai family doesn't like to meddle too much. You should take the palace affairs into your own hands. You can ask them to help you, if you let someone with a heart do something like this, you won't even know."

"Emperor Niang, although the daughter-in-law doesn't care, they will still report to me once every three days, and I will be the one to decide the big things. The Phoenix Seal is in my hands, and they can't make any big waves."

"Xiao Wu's marriage is almost prepared by the House of Internal Affairs. The Ai family loves this granddaughter the most. The Ai family has prepared all the items to add makeup to her." The queen mother thought that Xiao Wu was still surrounded by her knees when she was a child. I'm about to marry and be a woman, and I really don't have time to spare.

"The fifth girl is lucky to have you love her like this. If you feel bored, Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law will bring ten more girls to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to accompany you, but these ten girls are now a bully." Lingxin saw that The Queen Mother felt lonely. She used to have Qinger by her side, and then she had Wu Yatou. Now Wu Yatou is waiting to be married and has many things to learn. Qi Gege and Jiu Gege are not easy to let go because their biological mother is the Wei family. The queen mother is waiting, so there is no Gege of the right age to serve the queen mother.

"The Ai family knows that you have such filial piety, but the Ai family is now worshiping Buddha, and life is not boring." The queen mother patted Lingxin's hand, "Kneel down, the Ai family is a little tired."

"It's the Empress Dowager, please rest more. The daughter-in-law is leaving." Lingxin blessed the Empress Dowager and left the Palace of Compassion.

On the second day, all the concubines greeted Lingxin.

"I heard that there was a severe drought in Gansu, and the people were in dire straits. The emperor was worried about this. I knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and I would not interfere with the emperor's political affairs. I just tried my best to help the victims, which can also reflect the concubines of the emperor's harem. The concubine cares about the common people." Lingxin thought for a long time before coming up with such an opening line.

"Your Majesty, about the matter in Gansu, I also heard the maidservant mention it. There is a maidservant in the maidservant's palace who happens to be from Gansu, that's why I found out." Concubine Xin bowed her knees and saluted, but in order to avoid Lingxin thinking that she was inquiring about the affairs of the court, she explained.

"Then Concubine Xin will know more than this palace. I don't know what to do for them, so I have reported to the emperor and queen mother to raise funds for the victims. This palace and the queen mother have already donated part of the silver. I hope you can also support."

"Niangniangzhai has a kind heart and is an example for the servants to follow." Concubine Shu Gui said first.

"Your Majesty, although there are not many servants, they will still support your Majesty." Concubine Ying continued.

"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of being impeached by the censor. The emperor's affairs will naturally be handled by the emperor's civil and military affairs. Empress Empress, you are managing the harem and ordering women. You should manage your own affairs well." explain.

"Since I dare to say it, naturally the emperor and queen mother have also asked for instructions. I think you probably don't know, concubine Jin, that the emperor had already told all the civil and military officials this morning. How to react, I think it is very important. I need to let you know. Sister Rong, go to Qianqing Palace and ask the emperor if he can borrow Mr. Gao." Lingxin looked at Concubine Jin with a half-smile.

Mother Rong blessed her body, turned around and went to Qianqing Palace, when she passed Concubine Jin, she snorted coldly.

Concubine Jin naturally knows, you dog slave, when I become the empress, I will be the first to strike at you, "The empress is of course considerate, and this servant is waiting here for the emperor's reply."

"Concubine Jin, you are about to give birth, so stay in your bedroom if you have nothing to do. Concubine Shu, the midwife and the doctor must be ready to avoid being in a hurry." Lingxin thought that Concubine Jin could not stay, her heart Bigger than Wei's.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant is ready. Concubine Jin has asked Wusun Imperial Physician to take care of Concubine Jin with all her strength." Concubine Shu Gui replied.

"That's good."

Concubine Jin interrupted Lingxin's words, "I would like to thank the empress for your concern, my maidservant. After the birth of my servant's younger brother, I need you to take care of me, my ladyship."

When all the concubines saw that Concubine Jin was so bold and dared to interrupt the Queen, they all broke into cold sweats for Concubine Jin, but this Concubine Jin was too arrogant, relying on the dragon species in her belly, she did not take the other concubines seriously In the past, they couldn't understand her more or less in their hearts, and in addition, she was stepping on the throne of a nobleman, just like the concubine Ling back then.

Lingxin was not popular, and she didn't say much, just left her to dry, just tasting the new tea that had just been presented as a tribute.

"Your servant will see the empress, your empress is auspicious." Gao Wuyong followed Rongmao in.

"Director Gao doesn't need to be too polite. I came here today to ask the general manager to clarify for me." Lingxin always respected the people around Qianlong, especially this old man who had served two generations of kings.

"Your Majesty, when the servant came, the emperor had already ordered the servant to tell the truth." Gao Wuyong continued, "In the early court this morning, the emperor told the ministers that the empress wanted to donate some silver taels to the victims of the disaster. The minister objected, but the emperor said that the queen is not interfering in the government affairs, and now it also needs money. Although the queen's money is not much, it can be dealt with for a while. And the emperor also said that if they can think of a solution, he will stop it Empress. But those ministers didn’t expect that in the end they praised the empress for her virtue.” Gao Wuyong said briefly, and he also omitted some court affairs, and Ama Wanyan, the concubine of Jin, kept stopping him, and was finally reprimanded by the emperor.

"Everyone is clear, the emperor and all the officials have no objections, and you are satisfied." Lingxin knew that Gao Wuyong had something to say, and she would not ask, because it would involve government affairs, and there are so many concubines here , she only needs to achieve the effect she wants. "My palace will not ask for the silver taels you donate, as long as you have the heart. This matter will be handed over to Concubine Ying, Concubine Ying, you must handle this matter well, and don't let the emperor and this palace down. "

"Slave servant respects Yizhi." Concubine Ying is the first time she has dealt with such a big matter since she was promoted to noble concubine. She must handle it well, leave a good impression on the emperor, and come to her palace more often.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, let's kneel down. Nanny Rong will send Manager Gao off." Lingxin actually didn't want to stay with Concubine Jin any longer, seeing her face, she really wanted to tear it apart.
