The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

Xiao Chuchu was held in Xiao Yunzhou's arms early in the morning.

Xiao Yunzhou was looking at the "memorial" that Concubine Liu handed to him last night - the preliminary idea of ​​the charity sale.

In the study, not only Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue was sitting, but also the chief minister of the cabinet, Lord Fucha.

Lord Fucha, that was looking at the emperor holding the third princess for a while, and then shifting his gaze to Concubine Liu who was sitting under the emperor.

Lord Fucha's square face, which was nearly fifty years old, was almost wrinkled.

Why is the gap so big?

His daughter was noble earlier, and was Concubine Fucha, several levels higher than Liu, the promise at that time.

Even today, Concubine Liu's position is lower than his daughter, and Liu Wenchang's official position is also lower than his.

But - why is there such a big gap?

The daughter of the Liu family, a concubine in the harem, can sit in the emperor's study and discuss matters with their ministers!

His daughter is still jealous in the harem, and only knows how to cry...

Alas.

The corners of Lord Fucha's eyes twitched.

"Today's situation is special. The charity sale involves the harem, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and a group of women. I also want to hear the opinions of the harem." Emperor Xiao Yunzhou looked at the cabinet elders and the Ministry of Revenue Jiang Li. "So, today I called Concubine Liu to participate in the discussion of the charity sale at the beginning of the new year." Jiang Li, the Ministry of Revenue, did not dare to have any opinions. "Your Majesty, this matter was originally the idea of ​​Concubine Liu. Naturally, we also want to hear how the queen wants to act." The cabinet elder Fucha was silent. Obviously, he had nothing to say about Concubine Liu, a woman in the harem, interfering in politics today. After all, the charity sale was her idea, and she also wrote a paper of how to deal with it. [Ding, congratulations to the host. ] [Side quest-The status of women has been significantly improved to 2.3%! ] Xiao Chuchu was in Xiao Yunzhou's arms. When she heard the system prompt, she immediately looked at her mother with bright eyes and grinned at her. This system prompt, except Xiao Chuchu, no one else could hear it. When Concubine Liu saw her daughter's smile, she thought it was an encouragement to her. After thinking for a while, she looked at Emperor Xiao Yunzhou.

"What do you think of the preliminary charity sale plan I wrote?"

"I want to find a palace maid to explain each item before it is displayed on the stage."

"Explanation?" Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue leaned forward and frowned, "Madam Liu means to introduce the items?"

With the emperor around, he didn't dare to criticize the concubines in the harem.

But Jiang Li's face was full of disapproval.

"Not appropriate." Fu Cha Ge Lao also disagreed, "According to the discussion last night, the items sold this time are all old items."

How to explain old items?

Say that the gold hairpin used by the queen before is no longer used, so it is sold.

Or is it that this is a style of gold hairpin that was popular ten years ago?

The value of the gold hairpin can be calculated by weight, and the merchants know it clearly.

Not to mention that it is an outdated style that has been used for several years and has been abandoned...

The more detailed the explanation, the more it reveals that these old items are no longer valuable.

"If you want the merchant to pay a high price, it's better not to say it." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue also spoke up to oppose Liupin's pre-sale explanation.

Xiao Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong.

Just as he frowned and thought hard, he heard a tender rebuttal in his arms.

[Ah, it's not like that! ]

Xiao Chuchu opened her eyes wide and was about to look at the official from the Ministry of Revenue.

[Honest man, this is...]

[Since ancient times, behind high-priced luxury goods, there is a legend of an ancient family and a celebrity society~]

[What people buy is not the item itself, but the history and legend behind it, which is a symbol of their social status! ]

Xiao Yunzhou was startled, as if a door was slowly opening in front of him.

He had never heard of this statement!

But the words of his daughter completely expressed the feeling in his heart just now!

Xiao Yunzhou put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Concubine Liu with praise, "Concubine Liu, tell me in detail, why did you think of asking the palace maid to explain before selling?" Concubine Liu had been thinking about it for two nights, and now she could come up with an excuse, "I thought of my childhood." "There used to be candied haws sold on the street, and I wanted to eat them. But my father wanted to embezzle my New Year's money to buy the peach snacks he wanted to eat." "..." Xiao Yunzhou, Jiang Li, and Fu Cha were all stunned. I didn't expect that Liu Wenchang would be such a father! How shameless. He embezzled the money for the child's candied haws and bought what he liked? ! "Of course I didn't want to, and I cried on the street on the spot." Of course I had to cry! Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched. He felt that he had arranged Old Liu in the wrong place. He even took advantage of his daughter's money. He should have worked in the Ministry of Revenue, which was in charge of money! "Hey, Concubine Liu, I know it's not easy for you, but what does the tragic childhood you mentioned have to do with my question?" Xiao Yunzhou interrupted her. After all, Liu Wenchang is now an important official, representing the face of the court. Xiao Yunzhou looked at Jiang Li of the Ministry of Revenue and Fu Cha, not allowing Concubine Liu to continue to expose her family's shortcomings. But Concubine Liu smiled and continued, "I haven't finished yet." "Later, I didn't agree and cried and made a fuss, so my father told me a story about the Queen Mother holding a peach banquet." "He told me that even the gods in the sky want to eat peaches, but the Queen Mother never gives them easily. She only rewards the most powerful immortals." Xiao Yunzhou was shocked. Jiang Li of the Ministry of Revenue and Fu Cha were both smart people, and they understood it instantly!

Concubine Liu smiled modestly, "I thought of this children's story yesterday and wondered if I could use it for a charity sale."

"I don't want to be like my father, who deceives people who come to buy old things."

"I just want to tell them the stories behind the old things in the palace."

"For example, the jade bowl the Queen Mother used to eat when she was young was not broken in the library when the earth dragon turned over last time. Normally, she would only reward the princes with one if they were praised for their homework."

Ouch!

Hubu Jiang Li suddenly raised his head!

This story is great!

Doesn’t this make this bowl look so expensive?

But God knows that when he purchased that batch of jade bowls, he was working as an errand at the Ministry of Revenue. The total of those jade bowls was less than five taels of silver, which was even more expensive than the ginseng Li Fei had eaten before...

"Congratulations, Madam!" Jiang Li, a member of the household department, was filled with admiration.

Amazing, this harem woman!

"Okay, okay, Concubine Liu, you are worthy of being the woman who figured out how to weave silk!"

Xiao Yunzhou was gearing up after hearing this, wishing he could hold a charity sale now.

"Okay, these scammers in the harem, no, you are fully responsible for the second-hand items for sale in the harem and the explanations for the sales!"

Xiao Yunzhou said and looked at Liu Bin with emotion.

"Hey, if you were a man, why would my household department worry about not having money?"

Jiang Li from the Department of Revenue: "..."

I feel like I’m being connoted!

Why did the emperor step on it?

[Side mission-The status of women has been significantly increased to 2.5%! 】

[Can be redeemed for one lucky draw. 】

Xiao Chuchu's eyes lit up.

In the afternoon of that day, Concubine Liu accepted the imperial edict and went to visit the Queen Mother.

One sentence made the Queen Mother almost move out half of her warehouse.

"Mother, if you take out these old things and put them at the New Year charity sale, I will ask Cheng Qian to write articles and poems about these old things for you, and put them at the charity sale and recite them to the merchants and the people."

"!"

The Queen Mother suddenly got up from the couch!

Hey, has anyone written a story for the Queen Mother?

You know, most of the stories sung in operas since ancient times are about loyal ministers and wise kings!

In the afternoon, Concubine Li got the news and encouraged the queen and a group of concubines to protest to the queen mother.

"The Queen Mother, Concubine Liu is crazy about money. Many of your old things were given by the late Emperor. You see things and miss people, how can you sell them——"

Before she finished speaking, she saw the Queen Mother's serious face.

"What do you mean? Do you think that the Ai family in the palace only deserves to miss the late emperor? It is best to go to accompany the late emperor as soon as possible and bury him if he dies as soon as possible?"

"??? No, this is not what I mean..."

"If the late Emperor comes back to life, he will come to you in the middle of the night to lecture you!" the Queen Mother said angrily to Concubine Li.

"!?!"

"If it can benefit the people, what's the problem if the Ai family doesn't have a jade bowl to eat!?"

"You too, each bring out three small things. If you don't have money, you can give me some old clothes that you don't wear! The emperor is not dead, so you don't necessarily have to see things and miss others!"

"...!"

Everyone looked at Concubine Li with resentment.

The corners of Li Fei's mouth twitched.

Why can Liu Bin be happy but she can’t?
