Chapter 15 Make money with confidence
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was busy for a long time, and finally made the fried chicken for ten people.
In order to be worthy of the one or two silver, she is still very powerful in terms of weight.
After all, these days, no one has any surplus food. If things are too expensive, it will be more than worth the loss if no customers come to the door in the future.
Concubine Ji looked surprised when she saw the big bag of fried chicken in front of her.
"This... is this the share of a tael of silver?"
It seems that this weight is indeed beyond her imagination.
Shangguan smiled and said: "Let's not talk about foreign affairs. You only have three or two months of silver every month. You are willing to spend one third of my food, that is, you treat me as a bosom friend, so I will give you more. Some, so remember to patronize my business in the future."
"Could it be... you have something better than this?" Concubine Ji was obviously a foodie, and her eyes sparkled when she talked about eating.
Shangguan smiled and said: "Of course, I won't lie. Next time you come to keep it, you will have a surprise, and it's all praised by the emperor himself. You can't go wrong."
"Then... After that, no matter what food the emperor eats, as long as it is delicious, you will keep one for me."
Concubine Ji has made a reservation.
Shangguan smiled and secretly delighted in his heart, and he had to pretend to be on the surface.
"This is no problem, but do you have enough money?"
"My family is in business, and the monthly money in the palace is definitely not enough, but when I came to the palace, my parents prepared a lot of money for me, which is enough."
Hearing this, Shangguan smiled and realized that he had accidentally discovered a big gold master.
"No problem, you have money and I have delicious food. Welcome next time, Xiao Cui, send Ji Concubine."
"No, no, I came here secretly. I tell you, everyone is going to join forces to fight you, but I'm not with them. If they know that I'm here with you, they will definitely exclude me, so today's matter, still Please keep it secret."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao got some news from Concubine Ji, and was very grateful to her.
"Don't worry, next time I see you, I'll pretend I don't know you."
Concubine Ji had just left on the front foot, and several beauties from the harem came one after another on the back foot, agreeing.
Apparently, they're all here for fried chicken.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao learned about the situation of a few people from Xiaocui.
On the surface, these people are going to oppose Shangguan Xiaoxiao, but in fact, they have all been bought by Shangguan Xiaoxiao's delicious food.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao closed the door and counted the money, not to mention how happy he was.
Xiaocui brought a glass of water to Shangguan with a smile: "Niangniang, wouldn't it be good for you to earn money like this openly?"
"What's wrong? My father is a man with clear arms. After entering the palace, you don't know how hard we have lived. Now that there is a chance to earn money, the more the better, I not only want to earn the money of these harem concubines and concubines. , I will earn even the emperor's money someday."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was like a miser, putting all the scraps of silver he earned into his money box.
In the future, these will be the capital after she leaves the palace.
Not a penny can be lost.
……
"Did she really say that?" After getting the report, Feng Lingzun's lips curled into a smile.
"Yes!"
"Interesting, continue to send people to watch, no matter what she said or did, she must report everything to me every day." Feng Lingzun ordered.
The man in black left immediately after receiving the order.
Before going to bed at night, Feng Lingzun went to the Queen Mother's side.
Although the public security was called in the morning, but the Queen Mother has been feeling unwell recently, so Feng Lingzun will also go there in the evening.
The queen mother was about to go to bed when she heard the news that the emperor was coming from outside, so she quickly got up to greet her.
Feng Lingzun walked into Fengyi Palace and saw the Queen Mother being helped out.
"Empress mother, I just came to see you, why are you still working so hard, why don't you hurry up and help the queen mother back."
The two palace maids did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes, so they had no choice but to help the queen mother into the bedroom.
The queen mother sat by the bed and coughed a few times from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.
"Empress mother, is your health better? What are the imperial doctors doing? They don't care if you are unwell? I will punish them later."
The queen mother couldn't help coughing a few more times and said, "The emperor doesn't have to work hard for Ai's family. It's fine to take care of this minor illness. It's fine, you don't need to ask the imperial doctor to trouble them."
"The imperial physicians are all responsible for the bodies of the nobles in the palace. You are like this. Naturally, they are negligent in their duties and must be severely punished. Come and call Imperial Doctor Li."
Feng Lingzun was just about to let a palace maid go to the imperial hospital first.
The Empress Dowager hurriedly stopped and said: "No need, the imperial physicians often come to the Fengyi Palace of Aijia. As the saying goes, the disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread. The Aijia's disease is not a serious disease, but it needs to be treated slowly. It has nothing to do with the doctors."
"The queen mother is kind, and that's the case, tomorrow I will invite the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the queen mother carefully."
The queen mother nodded and coughed a few more times.
"Mother, it will be your birthday feast soon, what do you want?"
The queen mother said: "There is nothing in the palace, and the Aijia has nothing to want. It is the emperor, the Aijia knows that the national treasury is empty and the people are barren. The emperor, don't make extravagance for the Aijia."
The Queen Mother's words made Feng Lingzun very warm.
"Empress Mother, since you are against extravagance and waste, let's keep it simple this time. But you are the Queen Mother, and the birthday banquet cannot be too perfunctory, so I leave such an important task to Concubine Xi in the harem to plan."
Hearing this, the queen mother frowned immediately.
"Nonsense! Naturally, the Ministry of Rites will send someone to deal with this matter. If you let the concubines of the harem intervene in this matter, how can you explain it to the other concubines?"
Although the emperor is the supreme in the world, he still has a lot of helplessness.
The women in this harem are not liked by the emperor, but driven by interests.
If the emperor wants to maintain a stable position, he must have a good relationship with those ministers, and the best way is to marry.
On the one hand, it gave these loyal ministers face, and on the other hand, it was to contain them.
In fact, this is a good thing for both parties.
If any woman can be favored and even become a queen, then the woman's family must be prosperous for three generations.
But if they did nothing and had no contact with the emperor, how could they be willing to work for the emperor.
Feng Lingzun knows these things the most, so when he chooses a concubine in the harem, he doesn't show much expectation, nor does he show much disdain.
In short, to satisfy those ministers, he did the right thing.
Now those women are still safe in the harem, but the emperor also knows that most of these women are here for their families, and they can live in peace now because the harem has not yet been favored alone.
Once he favors someone alone, even if these women have no idea, the family behind them will definitely not be safe.
