Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

It's only been a year since Lu Chen returned to the East Palace, and when they got married, many servants and maids from the palace were transferred over.

Tonight, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Princess had no intercourse, so they had already been snooped by other people's eyeliner.

Everyone who cares about Quan Chang'an knows that the prince and the princess do not have sex.

Li Lingling got the news early in the morning, so she hurriedly asked the servant girl to fetch the golden hairpin that she had just bought from the jewelry pavilion at a huge price, and went to the palace to watch Qiao Jinniang's excitement.

Qiao Jinniang woke up refreshed in the morning.

Little Lu Xi on the side woke up early and was playing with a Luban lock.

The maids filed in to wait on Qiao Jinniang's washing.

On the first day of marrying into the East Palace, the rules are to salute the queen and all the concubines in the palace.

Qiao Jinniang had to put on the clothes that added up to about twelve layers.

Lu Chen came in and said, "Fortunately, you are thin."

Qiao Jinniang was already used to it, and said to Lu Chen, "Do you want to go with me to see the queen?"

According to the rules, Lu Chen didn't have to go there together.

But since Qiao Jinniang asked, it's fine for him to go.

It's just that although there is a 15-day rest period for the wedding, but at this moment His Majesty has an imperial decree to invite Lu Chen, so Lu Chen has no choice but to go to the Tai Chi Hall.

Qiao Jinniang took little Lu Xi's hand and went to the middle palace together. She thought she had come too early.

But the central palace was full of concubines, and several princes and concubines also came.

When Qiao Jinniang entered, she saluted and said, "I will see my mother."

The queen smiled and said: "You worked hard yesterday, please sit down quickly."

Li Lingling slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Last night, the Crown Princess didn't have to wait on His Highness, why did she get up so late?"

For a while, Qiao Jinniang didn't realize that what Li Lingling said was to make fun of her for not consummating her wedding.

I just thought she was mocking herself for coming too late.

Qiao Jinniang said: "My son wanted to make some breakfast for my mother, but I was late for a while, so I ask my mother to forgive me."

The maid behind her took Qiao Jinniang's breakfast one by one and placed them in front of the concubines and queens.

Qiao Jinniang smiled at the concubines and said, "I never thought that the sisters-in-law would come into the palace as soon as the palace gate opened, and I hope you forgive me for not preparing breakfast for your sisters-in-law."

It's not too late for her to come, these concubines are all in a hurry to come in as soon as the palace gate is opened.

Li Lingling saw that Qiao Jinniang was not nervous or annoyed when she teased Qiao Jinniang for staying alone in her empty boudoir, so she said to the queen again:

"Mother, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is married, but the marriage does not enter the Crown Princess's room, so it is useless for the emperor's heir to reproduce.

At this moment, the spring is bright and beautiful, and it is the time when thousands of flowers in the palace are in full bloom.

How about inviting the daughters of all the ministers to enjoy flowers and celebrate his birthday tomorrow at His Highness's birthday banquet? "

Qiao Jinniang smiled.

Li Lingling asked Qiao Jinniang: "What are you laughing at?"

He only said to the queen, "Mother, I remembered a folk joke, but it was a bit indecent, so I won't tarnish the ears of my mother and all the empresses."

The queen said: "It's okay for you to say it, just let us listen to folk jokes."

Qiao Jinniang glanced at Li Lingling meaningfully and said:

"There was a scholar in Yangzhou City who got married because the scholar lost his mother since he was a child.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and even the matter of marrying a wife is only possible with the help of her sister-in-law.

The scholar's sister-in-law spent a whole tael of silver as the bride price to marry the scholar, and the scholar's sister-in-law felt very distressed because of this.

On the wedding night, the scholar's sister-in-law took the scholar's elder brother to listen to the corner.

When her neighbor saw it, she angrily scolded them for being immodest, but the scholar's sister-in-law said loudly: "I spent a whole tael of silver to marry the bride, and the copper coins can be heard on the ground."

I can't waste this tael of silver, I can't even hear a sound! The whole family listened, and it was worth the money to spend it! "

All the concubines smiled, Concubine Jian covered her lips with a handkerchief and said, "That scholar's sister-in-law is too outrageous."

Qiao Jinniang said: "Your concubine, this is not outrageous, after all, some sisters-in-law didn't help my brother with the dowry, and they kept staring at my brother's affairs in the house!

This matter has been ridiculed among the people, the eldest sister-in-law is from the Cheng Enbo Mansion, she behaves like a country woman, she will lose face of the empress dowager! "

The queen said to Li Lingling when she heard the words: "Princess Huai, what you have said is indeed too much. Is it possible that you, a princess, can inquire about the affairs of the Eastern Palace at will? I will punish you to copy the scriptures a hundred times, are you convinced?"

Due to Li Lingling's status as a queen, she can only accept the punishment, so what about copying Buddhist scriptures, she can ask the servant girl below to copy for her.

But Qiao Jinniang entered the East Palace with all her heart and soul, and she didn't even have a bridal chamber, so pitiful!

...

After Qiao Jinniang returned to the East Palace, she did not see Lu Chen coming back from the Tai Chi Hall.

She then ordered someone to call Gu Ming, the chief manager of the inner courtyard of the Eastern Palace, and officials from the backyard of the Eastern Palace.

Gu Ming is Lu Chen's servant-in-law, and in the backyard of the East Palace, Gu Ming is also the chief steward.

The backyard of the East Palace is divided into five bureaus: Dianshan Bureau, Yaozang Bureau, Neizhi Bureau, Dianshe Bureau and Guanmen Bureau.

It corresponds to Shangshi Bureau, Shangpharmaceutical Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangshe Bureau and Chengmen Lang in the palace.

These are different from the Shang Palace in the palace, there are many female officials in the Shang Palace Bureau, and most of the departments of the Eastern Palace are servants as officials, but there are many court ladies working underneath.

There are as many as nine hundred maids of all kinds in the backyard.

Not counting the front yard, including the officials and servants in the front yard, not counting the soldiers and hidden guards, there might be as many as 1,200 people in the entire East Palace.

Qiao Jinniang had heard Qing Mo talk about these official positions, big and small, before she got married.

If Qiao Jinniang wanted to take care of so many courtiers in every detail like managing a restaurant, she would be exhausted to the point of exhaustion.

It can only be picked up from those high-ranking officials.

Gu Ming, together with the eunuchs in charge of Dianshan Bureau, Yaozang Bureau, Neizhi Bureau, Dianshe Bureau and Guanmen Bureau, came to visit Qiao Jinniang.

Gu Ming knelt on the ground, and for a long time he didn't see Qiao Jinniang calling him up, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead one after another.

He served in front of the prince since he was a child, except for the few years when the prince disappeared, usually those high-ranking concubine daughters would always be polite when they saw him.

But he didn't expect that the Crown Princess would give him such a blow on the first day.

Qiao Jinniang said slowly without anger and prestige: "The prince has not been in the palace for several years, and you are in charge of the East Palace like this? Everyone in Chang'an knows that there are some troubles in the East Palace?"

"I'll give you half a month. If there are still those who talk badly in the backyard of the Eastern Palace, who spread the news outside, and who are in front of other people's eyes and ears, and it is found out that they are people under you, then your position can also be replaced. "

Gu Ming kowtowed again and again, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Princess."

After everyone retreated, Dian Shelang from the Dian She Bureau whispered in Gu Ming's ear:

"This princess concubine is really from the countryside and has never seen the world.

Where Eunuch Gu goes is not respected by everyone, yet the Crown Princess looks down on Eunuch Gu so much!

She is not favored now, if she is favored, she doesn't know how to be arrogant! "

Gu Ming sneered: "The Crown Princess is not favored?"
