Chapter 326 Concubine Yang
"Zhaoyi Jing also means well. I am the mistress of the harem, so naturally I should shoulder the responsibility." The queen didn't mind what the emperor said.
"She refused to tell me when I asked her before. It's a sign of the Queen's magnanimity that she and the harem are in harmony. It's their blessing to have a mistress like you." Qi Yixiu patted the Queen's hand.
The queen smiled and said that no matter how much love there was, it was good as long as they respected each other.
So the next day, the queen said this when she paid her respects in the morning.
"It's also something I can do for His Majesty. There's no rush. I'll go to Cheng'an Temple tomorrow. We'll talk about it when I come back."
Concubine Feng was the first to be dissatisfied: "Your Highness is the Empress, so naturally you have everything you need."
"Your Majesty's arrangement is the best, and it will also allow the suffering people to have something to eat and wear. I agree with it, and I will ask someone to pack up the things when I go back. Even if there is not much, we can at least find a lot." Concubine Kangde said with a smile.
"The same goes for me." Concubine Jin answered with a guilty conscience. She was reluctant to give up anything, but she had to leave.
No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can't say no to this matter.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I packed some things earlier and was going to put them in the storeroom, so I'm going to check them again. I wonder where the Queen wants to put the things first?"
"Why not put it in the Qunfang Palace for the time being?" said the Queen.
Shen Chuliu answered yes, and everyone dispersed one by one.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu said, "I'll pay for yours. You're just Baolin, so you don't need to pay too much. It won't look good if you pay too much."
Yao Baolin thanked him quickly and said, "I still have some useless things here, just take them all."
Shen Chuliu nodded.
After Yao Baolin recovered from her illness this time, she lost some weight, but she was still in good spirits. Seeing that the emperor didn't think of her, she gradually stopped being afraid.
He said he would talk about it after he came back, but Shen Chuliu was quick and packed up the most clothes, as well as some jewelry that she would never use. All of them had the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on them, so they were difficult to sell. However, if people from outside saw these things, they would be precious.
There are also some useless ornaments and so on.
Anyway, there are quite a few.
"If you don't look through it, you'll never know how much stuff you have." Shen Chuliu was shocked when she saw the old clothes: "Have I wasted so much over the years?"
"What are you talking about, master? You are of noble status, so you should have these!" Zi Rui didn't want to hear this.
Shen Chuliu clicked his tongue: "Okay, it's really expensive. You guys can quickly pick out the ones you like and wear. The rest will be given away. You guys can bring your extra clothes here."
Most of the things Yao Baolin sent were clothes, and there were also some inferior jewelry.
However, no matter how bad it is, it is still good.
The maids chose some simple clothes with light colors and patterns.
After it was done, Shen Chuliu was the first to deliver it to the Qunfang Palace and handed the booklet to the Queen's Fengzao Palace.
Just these, it took three trucks to pull them...
Shen Chuliu looked at him and smiled: "Okay, this time I have stabilized the hatred again."
She had never had an easy life in the past few years since she entered the palace. She didn't know how much she had before, but now she knows...
I’m afraid even Concubine Kangde doesn’t have as many concubines as her.
Zi Rui came over and whispered, "Don't you see how much the emperor rewards you every year?"
Shen Chuliu patted her back and Zi Rui stuck out her tongue.
Indeed, Qi Yixiu gave a lot of rewards.
However, Shen Chuliu thought that this was enough to attract enough hatred, but he didn't expect that there was even more!
Perhaps Qi Yixiu felt that she had given away too much, so in the afternoon, he hurriedly rewarded her with a few more pieces of cloth...
Shen Chuliu looked at the beautiful cloth on the table and didn't say anything for a long time...
In the harem, everyone was worried about how to pack up their things, but Jing Zhaoyi pulled three carts! It would not look good if there were too few people.
However, there were some down-to-earth people, such as Concubine Kangde. Although she was a first-rank concubine, her family background was ordinary after all, and the reward was not much, so she packed up a car and let someone take it away peacefully.
With her taking the lead, others will not be nervous anymore.
The ladies in the position of concubines are not short of things anyway. Among the nine concubines, some of them have family assets. Even those who don't have, such as Wen Chongrong who was promoted this year, and Yi Chongyuan who has been at the bottom for many years, can also give more or less.
But it’s more difficult for the people below.
So it's decreasing order.
The queen once again sent someone to pass on the message, saying that she didn't ask for much, just a token of her appreciation.
Concubine Feng was late, but she didn't want to lose face, so she forced four cars together. But she didn't lack anything.
Concubine Xin had just entered the palace, so she didn't think much, and there was only one car. It was unknown what her mood was.
I actually put all my things away on this day.
At nightfall, the two Empress Dowagers also ordered people to bring five carts of things each! In fact, they were all old, belonging to the women in the harem. It was hard to throw away their old things, so most of them were given away as rewards.
It's also good to give things to your parents if you have one.
For the two queen dowagers, this was not much at all.
First, he asked the servants to pack and sort the things, and then to mess them up so that outsiders would not be able to tell who they belonged to.
Early the next morning, everyone went to pay their respects to the two Empress Dowagers and then went to Cheng'an Temple together.
The children were taken care of by their respective wet nurses, and after paying their respects they all went back.
All the concubines are going today, so there is a large procession with many carriages and horses.
When they arrived at Cheng'an Temple, it was only mid-morning. The abbot came out to greet them, and the two Empress Dowagers were waited on by the Empress and Consort Feng.
He greeted the abbot and other people in the temple politely, and was then welcomed in.
Go to the Main Hall to burn incense first.
Then he went to the back and sat down to talk and listen to the lecture.
Those concubines said they entered Cheng'an Temple, but they were actually in the nunnery on the hillside behind Cheng'an Temple. This nunnery belongs to Cheng'an Temple, so it is generally called Cheng'an Temple.
The people there cannot come out, and the monks will not go there. There are imperial guards stationed here, and they are replaced every once in a while, so there will be no dirty things like night parties.
However, the concubines who came here were divided into different levels. Those who had done nothing wrong came here just to convert to Buddhism and live a simple life.
But if you make a mistake, you have to come in and work.
For example, the purpose of the two Empress Dowagers today, Concubine Yang.
When Concubine Yang and other concubines came to pay their respects, everyone saw at a glance that Concubine Yang had become extremely thin.
She was liked by the late emperor because of her good looks, but how can she still look good now? In fact, she is younger than the two Empress Dowagers, and is only in her forties now.
But looking at him, he seemed to be in his seventies or eighties.
Other concubines greeted her with courtesy, but she refused.
"I am so honored that the Queen Mother comes to see me." Concubine Yang said lightly.
"Yang, I thought you would have changed after a few years of meditation here, but I didn't expect you to be still like this." Empress Dowager Feng sneered, "It's true that one's nature is hard to change."
