Chapter 125 It's a pity to give such good fabric to the emperor
. Anyway, everyone thinks that Lin Mo must be something unusual.
But although the gifts given by this girl are not very normal, they are indeed quite exciting, because you have no idea what she will come up with.
The official beside Minister Lin asked curiously: "Lord Lin, do you know what kind of jade carving Master Lin is going to give to the Empress?"
Minister Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know." He didn't know what this girl was doing in her room every day, but her yard was always very lively.
Since the system became a human, these two people have been making trouble in the yard. Today they do it in this yard and tomorrow they do it in that yard. They don't know what their yard has become.
Lin Qi suddenly remembered a semi-finished jade carving he saw that day.
It looks like a chicken, right? Could it be that this girl is giving the gift to the Empress?
Lin Mo started to keep everyone in suspense. What she is giving this time will definitely be as stunning as last time!
No one knew what she was going to give to the Empress until the end of the court.
After the court, the prince immediately went to find his mother.
The Empress is now counting accounts with a group of concubines. They have made quite a lot of money during this period. The Emperor's clothes are selling very well, and the gifts given by the ministers on their birthdays every year are also selling well.
"The emperor's underwear is much less now. If you take it, remember to replenish it. You don't need to use too fine fabrics, just use something that won't scratch your butt."
The Queen Mother said while twirling her abacus, "Oh, Concubine De, did the emperor take a jade bottle from your palace last time? Remember to ask him to return it. These must be put into the warehouse. If you have no money, you can still sell them." Concubine De
nodded: "Don't worry, Queen, I will definitely ask the emperor to return it." The prince
standing at the door: ... Why do I feel that the ladies in the harem are a little different from the ones he saw before. Although
it is said that my father's harem has always been so harmonious, but now this harem is a little bit like a harem, a bit like an accounting office.
"Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother and the ladies," the prince was quite serious in front of the elders.
"Hey, the prince is here, what brings you here today?"
Everyone looked to see if the prince had brought any gifts, and when they saw him coming empty-handed, there was a hint of disappointment on their faces.
Tsk! He didn't even bring anything good, and they didn't know how hard it was for the elders in the harem.
The emperor didn't have many concubines, and they only gave birth to a few princes and princesses, so they were basically raised by everyone.
For these children, the concubines raised them as if they were their own children.
The Queen was too lazy to greet her son, "If you have nothing to do, find a place to sit. We are very busy now."
"Oh, remember to remind your father to return the jade bottle in the palace of Concubine De. It is not decent for an emperor to return someone else's things!"
"Okay, mother, I will remind father."
The prince's mind was a little confused now:... What did I do?
When he left the palace, he didn't say anything.
No! Didn't I come to tell my mother about the gift that Lord Kobayashi gave him? How did I get distracted all of a sudden?
After sending her son away, the Queen took a group of concubines to embroider flowers.
There is no other way. The more money they can make, the more money they will make. Moreover, they are originally noble ladies. Besides talking in the group, they embroider. This is also their specialty.
Emperor Xuande found nothing as soon as he entered the harem.
Looking at the empty palace of Fengyi Palace, he asked in confusion: "Where is the empress?"
The maid at the door replied: "Your Majesty, the empress took the ladies to the embroidery room."
Went to the embroidery room? Could it be that they are going to make something new for him!
Emperor Xuande's eyes lit up.
The last time the empress brought the concubines to embroider something for him was five years ago. He is still wearing that sachet and shoes.
Tsk, the empress and her concubines are still good. They know how to sympathize with him!
At this moment in the embroidery room, the queen led the concubines and embroiderers to work very seriously.
The queen took out a piece of medium-quality cloth and said, "Who of you has time? Use this cloth to embroider a sachet for the emperor. Just embroider it casually."
Everyone present lowered their heads. They were very busy now and didn't have the time.
The work on hand could be sold for money, but embroidering sachets for the emperor would not make money.
"Your Majesty, I embroidered the sachet five years ago. I really don't want to embroider it this year. This piece of cloth is not bad. Why don't you change it for a worse one?" Defei looked at the cloth and felt really distressed. They spent money to buy it!
The Queen: "After all, he is the Emperor. How can he use inferior fabrics? This one is just passable. Since you came five years ago, I will do it this year."
The Queen sighed and had to do it herself.
It is really rare for a concubine to achieve what they have.
Everyone thinks that these concubines in the harem are enjoying a good life in the harem. They are served by others and have the best food, clothing and daily necessities.
But who knows, although they are served by others, it is not as good as they imagine.
The Emperor has no money, and the harem has no money either!
Although the treasury is full now, they can't use the money in the treasury, so they should be self-reliant.
And they have a lot of dowry, so they have survived all these years.
Three days later, Emperor Xuande looked at the freshly baked sachets and smiled brilliantly.
"I knew that the Empress cared about me the most. Look how delicately this sachet is embroidered, and how fragrant it smells."
The Emperor kept showing it to Eunuch Li, who was speechless.
No, Your Majesty, your filter is too big. How can this sachet be delicate? It's better to buy it on the street.
And the fabric is not the best. It's obvious that the ladies in the palace are just perfunctory.
However, Eunuch Li did not dare to say these words. The ladies' lives were already hard enough. Compared with the concubines of the previous emperor, the ladies now lived worse than the lowest-ranking concubines at that time.
Although they had more servants than the lowest-ranking concubines before, the concubines before had a lower rank, but basically they did not have to do anything, and they were rewarded with good things from time to time.
The previous emperor really committed a sin. If he had not squandered so much money, how could the emperor and the ladies in the palace live such a miserable life now!
