Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. They hadn't even sat down yet, so why did someone from the Xue family come again? Still frowning, "Bring the person up here. Forget it. I'll handle this matter. Your Majesty, please send the Queen Mother and Yin'er back to the palace. Nanbeibei, do you still want to go to the palace to play?"
Beibei glanced at Yin'er and shook his head: "I won't go today, just rest at home. Yin'er, go back and spend some time with your mother, okay?"
Yin'er nodded: "Okay, I just want to tell my mother everything I did today."
The Queen Mother also thought it was time to go back, so under the escort of Mu Yexiao, they went to the palace together. Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning separated from Qian Jiujiu's family on the street. Jiang Hu had just returned today and went home to reunite.
After Qian Jiujiu sent the people away, she came to Xue Li. After Xue Li arrived, someone brought Qin Yujie over. The couple looked at Qian Jiujiu in front of them and saluted.
"Meet Princess Side by Side."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Get up, Xue Li is back, this matter, this matter, how do you plan to solve it?"
Qian Jiujiu was not really that curious about other people's affairs, nor did she want to meddle in other people's affairs. Of course, she would not stand by and watch someone die, so this scene happened.
Of course Xue Li told Qin Yujie about the Xue family's way of dealing with the matter, and then she was dumbfounded. Madam Xue was sent to the family temple, her aunt Xue Qiqi was sent to practice hard, and her cousin was sent back directly. The Xue family's backyard was under her control.
How come this is like a dream? Qian Jiujiu glanced at the confused Qin Yujie and sighed, "Are you satisfied with this answer? If you are, then your husband can go back."
Qin Yujie was naturally quite satisfied: "Thank you, Princess, for taking charge."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Xue Li and said, "You did a good job. I hope you don't forget your original intention. Only then can you two go further. And you, Qin Yujie, sometimes, if a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable. Don't count on your man for everything."
"If you do this, you will only become a burden to him, and you won't be able to go far. Okay, you can go now."
After hearing this, Qin Yujie suddenly realized that her status should be that of a wife following her husband's status. Since she has become noble, her previous mentality must be changed.
After leaving the palace, Qin Yujie looked at Xue Li and said, "My husband, I will change. I will be able to protect myself in the future and will not hold you back."
Xue Li nodded. This time, it was a close call. If he hadn't happened to meet the princess's family, he would have lost his wife.
After sending the people away, Qian Jiujiu went to rest, waiting for Mu Yexiao to come back, who had just sent the people back.
Yin'er and the Queen hadn't seen each other for another day. After Yin'er returned to the palace, he naturally went to find his mother first: "Yin'er pays his respects to the Queen Mother. I'm back."
The queen smiled gently at Yin'er: "Yin'er, you're back. Come here and tell your mother what you did outside today."
Yin Er did not hide it and started talking: "I went shopping, bought and sold candied haws..."
Before she finished speaking, the queen asked in confusion: "I bought candied haws, why are you selling candied haws again?"
Yin Er was very excited when talking about selling things: "I bought all the candied haws from an old man and sold them. I also sold a lot of hairbands. Mother, I like selling things. When can I sell things again?"
Sell something? The queen looked at her son's expectant eyes and thought she should do something to fulfill his wish. But if she wanted to sell something, what could she sell
She touched Yin'er's head and said, "Don't worry, Yin'er. I will be able to fulfill your wish soon. You are tired today, so go down and have a rest first."
After sending Yin'er to rest, the Queen was thinking about this matter. Soon Si Xia came over to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Han and Concubine Liu are here."
The queen nodded and let the two in: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Waving her hand for the two to stand up, the Queen looked at them and said, "How did you two find the time to come here? But what's the matter?"
Normally, unless it was something she couldn't decide, these two people wouldn't come and disturb her. Concubine Han looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, how are we going to arrange the palace banquet for the New Year?"
Palace banquet? The queen's mind was working very fast, and suddenly she thought, isn't it time to fulfill her son's wish? Looking at the two of them, she smiled mysteriously: "I have an idea."
"The palace banquet tonight will be the same, but before the banquet, we can have a special program. Everyone in the harem must participate in this program, which is to sell the things in everyone's palace. The silver will be given to each palace."
"Of course, I will also take out some things to sell to cover the expenses of each palace next year. Okay, you two can pass on this message and make preparations now. Forget it, wait a minute, you should propose this decision tomorrow morning, and I will agree to it then."
This idea still needs the Queen Mother's approval. It's so late now and it's not appropriate to disturb her, so let's talk about it tomorrow morning.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. All the palaces paid their respects to the Empress Dowager in the palace. Almost everyone had arrived, but of course there were still a few people missing. Imperial Concubine Yan had been punished and could not come.
After paying respects to the Queen Mother, Concubine Han slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, for this year's New Year, I have thought of a different activity. We can hold a palace market..."
After she told the Queen about her ideas for the palace market and all the details that she and Concubine Liu had discussed last night, the Queen had to nod and admit that these two people were naturals at management.
Looking at the Queen Mother, she said, "Mother, I also think this is a good idea. If that's the case, I will also take out some things to sell, and the money from the sales will be used as the expenses of each palace next year."
The Queen Mother heard this and she understood that this was the Queen's idea, but it didn't seem impossible. An event held once a year was still very meaningful.
"That's a good idea, let's do it. The Queen is pregnant now, so she won't be tired easily. Let's leave this matter to Concubine Han and Concubine Liu."
It can be said that these two people really relied on their own abilities to reach the position of imperial concubines. No one else can do this. The two looked at each other and quickly thanked the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Queen Mother. We will definitely do our best."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, take all these concubines with you and go to your palace to discuss the details. I will talk to the Queen."
Concubine Han stood up and took all the concubines away. The Queen Mother then looked at the Queen and said, "This was your idea, right?"
The Queen looked at the Queen Mother with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother shook her head in amusement. "You dare to say such big words. If the things cannot be sold, how will you pay for the expenses of the palaces? Let Lin Zezhi support you?"
The Queen shook her head: "No, I have already prepared some things. I held this event just because Yin'er still wants to sell things."
The Queen Mother said helplessly: "This is just a one-time trip outing, and they are addicted to it. I think Nanbeibeibei will definitely like it. Please send someone to notify them both."
The queen still smiled and said, "I think your mother misses them again. Well, send someone to bring them to the palace. Let Jiu'er and Xiaoman come to the palace as well. Let's play mahjong together."
Since she had nothing to do anyway, the Queen Mother naturally agreed. In fact, she was also addicted to mahjong, but usually the concubines did not dare to beat her and only let her win, which made her feel that it was meaningless.
So they quickly invited people into the palace. As for Mu Yexiao, of course he was conscripted by the emperor to do some work. After all, there were still a lot of things to do in the court.
The atmosphere in the Queen's harem has become very harmonious since Qian Jiujiu and others came back. After all, all the women in the harem know that they can't afford to offend either Qian Jiujiu or Xiaoman, so it's better to keep to themselves.
In Yuyang Palace, Concubine Yan looked at Ran'er and said, "Ran'er, did anything happen in the palace today?"
The entire harem was filled with a feeling of jubilation, except for Imperial Concubine Yan's palace, which was filled with depression. Ran'er didn't know how to comfort Imperial Concubine Yan: "I don't know."
Imperial Concubine Yan frowned and said, "I can't go out, so you go out and help me check, is there anything wrong? I feel like the palace is different today, it's so lively outside."
The matter of the palace market had already been passed on, and everyone in the entire palace was discussing the matter. Naturally, Yuyang Palace could feel something about it. Ran'er quickly found out the news and came back to tell Concubine Yan.
Imperial Concubine Yan frowned: "Everyone is happily waiting to celebrate the New Year, only my brother is still imprisoned in the sky prison."
Obviously, when we met before, Sister Jiuer was not this kind of person. Why? Why did she suddenly change? Is it because of the queen? It turns out that the legendary King and Princess Bingjian are also such sycophants
"I want to go out and see the emperor, begging him to release my brother."
Ran Er frowned and said, "My queen, the emperor is still angry at this time, so it's better not to provoke him."
Imperial Concubine Yan was so angry that she couldn't help but say, "Get out of here. I want to be alone."
Ran'er glanced at Imperial Concubine Yan, then turned around and walked out: "I'll stay outside, Your Majesty, please think about it carefully."
Concubine Yan was so angry at Ran'er's attitude that she stood by the window with her hands clenched. Suddenly, a palace maid who was watering the flowers came over. The palace maid looked at Concubine Yan, gave her a note, and then left quickly.
He opened the note and read: "Father has arrived in Kyoto and will find a way to meet the emperor. Please do not interfere in your brother's affairs."
