Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You don't need to thank Ben Gong, Ben Gong still has something to discuss with you."

Everyone said, "I don't know what the maiden has ordered?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's right, the emperor's birthday will be in two months, although it's not a tenth birthday, but the emperor has been busy with government affairs over the years and has never had a good birthday. This time, It just so happened that there were special envoys from overseas countries who came to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, so the emperor planned to make a big deal."

Hearing this, everyone showed a happy expression.

Speaking of which, these concubines and concubines are really aggrieved. They can't see the emperor several times a year, especially when the emperor takes his concubine on a tour, and he can't see each other every two years. The emperor and his concubine are not in the palace, and the palace is not There won't be much excitement, and these people will live a lonely life every day, which is really annoying.

Therefore, when I heard that the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor was going to be a big event, it was a big event, and everyone was a little happy.

Even Concubine Yi couldn't help laughing: "That's great."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's good, but it's just that trouble has come."

Concubine Yi said, "What's the trouble?"

Nan Yandao: "Since it is going to be a big deal, it will naturally cost money, but in the past few years, several big events have been done, plus the war with the Yue Kingdom last year, the court is really unable to make ends meet."

When I heard that it was about money, everyone became cautious, you look at me, I look at you.

Nan Yandao: "However, the emperor's birthday is not a trivial matter, especially when this palace said just now that there are special envoys from overseas countries coming, and if the scene is difficult to pass, it will be a shameful thing. If you want to come, sisters don't want to. Yes."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and all forced a smile: "Yes."

"Of course not."

Nan Yandao: "So, in order to increase income and reduce expenditure, Ben Gong decided to cut the cost of the harem. With Ben Gong as the head, the monthly fee will be halved. As for you—"

She said, looking up at the crowd.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Li looked at each other and stood up, Concubine Yi said: "Concubine and sister Li Concubine are also willing to follow the empress, each The monthly fee is halved.”

Nan Yan nodded and said softly: "Bengong is greatly moved by your intentions, but you have Princess Yongping under your knees, so don't wrong the little princess,"

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Concubine Li: "For the past two years since this palace was away from the palace, you have also been in charge of the harem."

Both of them bowed their heads to listen.

Nan Yandao: "Well, the monthly fee for both of you will be cut by 30%."

The two were greatly moved, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for being sympathetic."

Seeing that the three of them had reached an agreement, the other concubines dared to say anything. She is a noble concubine, and besides, this is also to seek favor with His Majesty the Emperor, so the matter is settled.

After chatting for a while, the concubines and concubines dispersed.

As soon as they left, Nan Yan immediately asked someone to come over with an abacus, thinking about how much they could save in this way, Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "The maiden doesn't have to, in fact, just the monthly fee that the maidens of the palaces cut, it is enough. In these two months, there will be a hundred or so taels of silver left, as well as the expenses of the people in the palaces, plus the expenses in the palaces are more frugal, and you can save a lot of money."

Nan Yan said with a smile: "That's good."

The two were talking when Ruo Shui walked in from the outside holding a cup of bird's nest, only to see her face sullen, mumbling something in her mouth. When she came over and put the bird's nest by Nan Yan's hand, Nan Yan asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with someone?"

Ruoshui hurriedly shook his head: "No."

Nan Yan smiled deliberately: "Is that Lu Linchuan provoking you again? Say it, and Ben Gong will vent your anger."

When Ruo Shui heard this, his face immediately turned red.

This time, when she came back from Yongzhou, Nan Yan let her relax on the way, and hardly called her to do things by her side. She also knew in her heart that this was the time the emperor and the concubine gave her to spend with Lu Linchuan, so whenever she was free The two got together.

Although the two of them didn't dare to do anything beyond the norm, after they communicated, they could convey each other's feelings with just a few words. Even if they didn't talk about marriage, the relationship between her and Lu Linchuan had already improved a lot.

Everyone started to make fun of them.

Ruo Shui wanted to fry her hair at first, but then she simply raised her hand and started to fight. Unexpectedly, Nan Yan also began to ridicule her at this time. She blushed, turned her back and said softly, "My lady is really annoying!"

Aunt Tongyun said from the side, "No rules!"

Nan Yan also laughed, and then said: "Okay, let's talk about it, whoever is messing with you, you can tie an oil bottle to your mouth when you come in."

Only then did Ruo Shui come over and said softly, "The servants just went to the imperial kitchen to serve bird's nests for the goddess. When I came back, I saw the ladies from various palaces going out. When I passed the rockery, I heard someone complaining that the goddess took their money to beg for it. The emperor is good; when the emperor's birthday is held in the future, the credit will all be the mother's."

Nan Yan listened, and her face slowly sank.

Aunt Tongyun also frowned, and she immediately said, "You didn't talk to anyone."

Ruoshui said: "Aunt is too underestimated, I didn't even show a shadow. These people are weird, no one cares about them, and what they say will attract right and wrong."

Nan Yan nodded lightly: "That's right."

Aunt Tongyun said: "But, madam this—"

Nan Yan waved his hand gently and said, "Bengong knew from the very beginning that this matter would definitely offend people, but there is a big event in front of us, and there is no way to offend people."

Girl Tongyun said: "The left and right concubine Yi and Concubine Li are still on the side of the concubine."

Ruo Shui immediately said, "Isn't that true? The servants later saw Concubine Li scolding them in the past, and those talents dispersed."

Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.

She knows that things can't be perfect. Since everyone's monthly fee has been cut, it is impossible to please others. However, there are two people in the harem, Concubine Yi and Concubine Li, who are loyal to herself. Be comfortable.

Sitting on the couch, she let out a long sigh of relief, and Ruo Shui had already brought the bird's nest to her: "Niangniang, it's just stewed."

Nan Yan glanced down and said, "From tomorrow onwards, this will be waived."

Ruo Shui pouted as soon as he heard it: "Why?"

Nan Yandao: "You can save a little bit."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Feng's laughing voice came from outside the door, saying: "Why, my noble concubine is so poor that she can't even afford a bird's nest a day?"
