Chapter 81 The privilege of gifting a brand made her smell business opportunities again
"Which of those women in the harem doesn't have their own minds? Besides, they all know that if they want to get something, they will naturally have to pay a certain price, so I don't think there is any problem with doing this. What's more, this money is all about If you put it into the treasury, the emperor will eventually give it to the people."
Shangguan smiled and said with reason, but Concubine De was unable to refute it for a while.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it carefully." Concubine De subconsciously began to apologize, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at Shangguan with a smile.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao really did what she said, did she want to draw a clear line with the emperor?
But looking at her attitude, it is clear that the relationship with the emperor is closer.
Although Concubine De was a little uncomfortable, after all, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had originally said that she wanted to match her with the emperor.
If she is really duplicitous, then she is really stupid.
But after thinking about it, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, although the emperor did not fall in love with her because of this, he should have given a lot of rewards, and even went to her yard to sit for a while.
That's all, they have more honors than other concubines.
Thinking about it this way, De Fei still suppressed the little doubt in her heart.
Instead, he seriously began to think about what Shangguan Xiaoxiao just said.
In fact, before she entered the palace, she had also heard her father in the Ministry of Military Affairs say that military salaries alone are a large amount of expenses every year, not to mention other places where money is used.
The emperor is indeed short of money, there is no doubt about this.
Then if you can find a way to help the emperor solve his problems, can he win a place in the emperor's heart?
With such thoughts in mind, Concubine Virtue seemed to be very worried, and she didn't even hear what other people said.
Until Mu Guiren reached out and pushed her.
"Sister De Concubine, Sister Guifei asks you, has the emperor walked around your palace recently?"
"what?"
After Concubine De reacted, she subconsciously looked at Shangguan and smiled: "Sister is joking, can you not know where the emperor has gone?"
"Look at what you said, Eunuch Yu hasn't given me the power to flip the brand, otherwise I will flip your brand every day and let the emperor go to you every day, so that you can enhance your relationship a lot."
Mu Guiren hurriedly said: "Sister De Concubine, are you trying to please the emperor? Why do you want to do this? There are too many people competing for favor in the harem. I still think that you are just like us, and I just want to live in peace in this harem. I don't want to be favored."
"Yeah! The emperor is so scary. Every time I see him, I'm scared." Mrs. Xin also spoke in a low voice.
Concubine De glanced at them and found that they were all surprised, and said: "What's the matter, let's talk about Concubine Xi first, your father is the prime minister, and the only person in the entire court who dares to fight against Liu, the powerful minister, is your father alone. It can be seen that the emperor has high regard for the left minister."
"Mr. Mu, your father is a general of the township, and your ancestors have been loyal and patriotic ministers for three generations, and there are even danshu iron coupons that shine on the lintel. Even if your sister does nothing, your family will continue to prosper."
"Mr. Xin, although your family is only a wealthy businessman, it is also one of the richest in the world. The emperor has more places to use your family, so naturally your family will not worry about prosperity."
Xingui said: "But isn't my sister's father the Minister of the Ministry of War? It's not worse than us at all."
"In the eyes of outsiders, the natural beauty is actually a job that offends people. If you do it well, it will naturally be beautiful, but if you do it poorly, the whole family will suffer. When my father sent me to the palace, it was for the benefit of the family. So no matter what, I have to get the emperor's favor to protect the peace of the family."
The crowd sighed.
They naturally understood that Concubine De's expectations were actually the expectations of many women in the harem, either to save their lives or to honor the family.
However, this kind of planning is still a bit too utilitarian.
Shangguan smiled, shook his head and sighed, although she knew that Concubine De had a plan in mind, but she didn't expect it was for this reason.
Do women in the harem have to fight for favor and profit like this?
If this is the case, the emperor is afraid that it is rare to be sincere.
According to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's experience of watching so many palace fighting dramas, the emperor is cold-hearted. In order to gain his favor, either it has absolute use value, or he has to change his heart for heart.
It would be difficult to do things like Concubine De's calculations.
But right now, there is no more suitable candidate than her.
Otherwise, Concubine Liu will really gain power, and she will not have a good life in the future.
Seeing Shangguan smiled and sighed, Concubine De asked, "Sister, is there something wrong?"
"Of course it's not right. Even if you are dedicated to the interests of the family, you have to be sincere. Otherwise, even if I send the emperor to you, you won't be able to impress him, and it won't help in the end."
"Really?" Concubine De was stunned.
Is this thing still in the palace?
Don't you all live in masks?
Speaking of sincerity, it's a bit ironic to think about.
"Forget it, that's all I can mention. If you can't do it, I can't force it. But I'll still help if you need to. I only have one request. entrusted."
Shangguan smiled and wanted to leave the harem, and since Concubine De wanted to stay, they were interdependent.
The Duchess must understand this.
……
In the evening, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was standing in front of the chicken coop feeding the chickens, and when she saw Eunuch Yu coming, she quickly stopped what she was doing.
"Father-in-law, what's the matter?"
"The noble concubine, the servants have been ordered by the emperor to hand over the power of flipping the brand to the goddess. Come on, bring up the signs of all the little masters in this backyard."
More than a dozen eunuchs were holding trays with a bunch of signs in them.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao knew that there were no three thousand beauties in this harem, but there were three or four hundred people, but now that these three or four hundred brands were placed in front of her, she was still a little shocked.
It is good to be the emperor, there are so many women casually.
In the future, she will have to get seventeen or eight beautiful men in her backyard, and she will serve her every day.
This is also equivalent to being a local emperor in the people, right?
That's cool!
Shangguan smiled and collected his emotions, then took out a sign from one of the trays and asked, "Eunuch Yu, I have never done this work, I don't know what it is, you can tell me."
In order to allow Eunuch Yu to help her sincerely, Shangguan Xiaoxiao also specially stuffed him a jade bracelet.
Anyway, she has received a lot of gifts recently, so using this to manage her relationship won't be a loss.
But for Eunuch Yu, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's behavior made him a little happy. Although he is not greedy for money, the emperor said that if the imperial concubine rewards him, he will take it, then he will naturally keep the jade bracelet. .
"Thank you madam, in fact, there is a lot of attention to this brand-flipping. Generally, the women who sleep at night are based on the rank. For example, the imperial concubine level, at least three times a month, ordinary concubines twice a month, and noble concubines level. Once a month, the emperor will be happy if you go further down. Some will never see the emperor's face in their entire lives, and some will win the emperor's favor with their own abilities."
Shangguan smiled and listened, this is not right!
If you say this, isn't it difficult for women below the concubine to have the opportunity to see the emperor?
Come on, this is obviously a business opportunity!
Not as good
