Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 81

Rong Xi did not mention A Jin in the letter to Mu Huai. She felt that A Jin was not worthy of her mention. Even if she was really pregnant with Mu Huai’s child, she was not worth mentioning with Mu Huai.

This month, her attitude towards A Jin, an insignificant palace lady, was not as magnanimous as the court, and Rong Xi knew that if Mu Huai really had other concubines in the future, she would definitely be a vicious lady. Queen of the room.

She had worries and fears about this before, but now it is useless to be afraid, so she can only try to make herself accept these dark thoughts.

Rong Xi set a bottom line for himself in his heart.

The bottom line is that she must not harm Mu Huai and other women’s children.

She still has to fight for the favorite pet.

The concubine’s various methods of fighting for favor, such as how to please a man, or how to beg for pity with a man, she is very familiar with.

But she wanted to keep her original temperament in front of Mu Huai, and get along with her husband in real life.

Rong Xi didn’t want to use those charm tricks to confuse men.

In fact, the last time the Zhai family had an accident, Mu Huai saw her true temperament and knew that she was gentle and gentle on the outside, but a vicious person inside.

But even though Mu Huai said that she was poisonous, he did not dislike her.

As a queen, she ordered Dan Xiang to palm A Jin’s mouth. Although it was justified, it was more or less because she felt nauseous and sullen when she saw A Jin’s face and her bulging belly.

Rong Xi was not sure whether Mu Huai was lucky enough to have such a woman as A Jin.

Thinking of this, Rong Xi tried his best to make his eyebrows feel comfortable.

She carefully received all the letters Mu Huai sent to her in the Luotian wooden box. Although Mu Huai wrote her home letter without any affection at all, these are still treasures to her.

Rong Xi wanted to write some graceful poems, then cut off a strand of his black hair, wrapped it with a red string, and sent it to a man.

But now it seems that a person with such a temperament like Mu Huai would not understand the affection of these daughters.

He also imitated his style of writing, using graceful teeny lower letters on gold-sprinkled paper, and wrote about her recent affairs in the harem, and also wrote some recent updates about Jue’er.

Rong Xi knew that as the queen of Da Qi, she had to take care not only of Zhiyan as her husband, but also to assist Mu Huai as emperor.

During this month, she was not idle.

After getting up every day, they went with Danxiang to various places in the Yongxi Forbidden City. After returning to the East Palace, they listed all the places she found that could save money.

Rong Xi ordered the palace staff to submit to her all the expenses of the inner Zhusi-Ninghui Palace in the past month, and also asked the servant Cheng Song to turn out the old account before Mu Huai ascended the throne.

Cheng Song sent someone to pass her the account books for the last year of Emperor Zhuang’s reign.

Rong Xi asked Cheng Song to find some palace ladies who could look after her account. He also found an abacus. He sat in the study room of the East Palace all day long, cracking the abacus with his slender jade hands.

The old account mainly includes the items purchased by the Sixth Bureau of the Neizhi Departments when Emperor Zhuang was alive.

Rong Xi paired the account books, and he realized that the accounts were not quite right.

She came from a palace maid, and she understood the thoughts of those below, because the salaries of the palace maids and eunuchs were not high, and some people had to send their salaries to their family members outside the palace.

Many palace residents have thoughts about things in the palace, especially those who work in the palace. They come into contact with a lot of food, medicine, silk and jade every day.

Secretly ignorant things will not be discovered.

These people are like worms.

If everyone did this, the money in the national treasury would be in shortfall.

After checking the accounts, Rong Xi asked Cheng Song to call the current two directors of the Nei Zhusi and the supervisor of the sixth bureau to the study of the East Palace.

The servant Cheng Song was surprised by her behavior.

He thought the empress had a gentle temperament. When the emperor went to the east, she would only eat and drink in the palace, and then tease the prince to pass the day.

But it didn’t come to my mind that this Queen Rong was really going to take care of the unhealthy trends in the harem.

The six senior supervisors were summoned to the study room by the eunuchs of the East Palace tremblingly. After seeing the stunning new back end sitting on the bookcase, they all bowed their heads and stood in a row.

Those palace ladies who helped the new post to sort out the accounts immediately handed the account books sorted out for each bureau to the six senior prisoners according to her instructions.

Those supervisors took a closer look and found that it was written about the omissions of various objects in the six games during the year.

It takes a lot of effort to sort these account books.

What surprised these senior supervisors was that Queen Rong’s ability to record things was really terrifying. She was so familiar with the number of these account books, as if she had eaten them all in her stomach.

Rong Xi looked at the supervisors in front of him with those beautiful peach blossom eyes. Seeing that they were surprised and staring at each other, he only said indifferently: “Dear supervisors, from now on, every three days, your six games will The orders purchased outside the palace are presented to this palace. The palace wants to see if one month later, the account books sent to this palace will be able to match these orders.”

The six veterans are respectful.

They secretly realized that the acting styles of the new queen and the first queen were really quite different.

Empress Rong is a very shrewd woman, she pays attention to details, and is even a little real.

When the queen first managed everything in the inner palace, she seemed to be dealing with errands, and she just glanced casually when reconciling the accounts.

Empress Rong’s move was to start the eradication of the forbidden city.

In this way, all the eunuchs or palace ladies who have hidden palace objects are alert.

The emperor is not in the palace, she is the queen said the best.

Everyone said that the new queen is really a ruthless character that is not easy to provoke.

Those palace servants who helped Rong Xi organize the accounts were also reused, and they were placed in various bureaus and departments by Rong Xi.

If Jianyuan Yushi is the superintendent who supervises hundreds of officials, then these court ladies under Rong Xi are the eyeliners responsible for supervising Liusi’s purchase.

The day before Mu Huaidong returned from his tour, Rong Xi’s move was initially effective.

In just one month’s effort, the expenditure of the Yongxi Temple saved more than ten thousand taels of silver.

Dan Xiangli was at Rong Xi’s side, and he was dumbfounded when he heard the female officer and Rong Xi repay.

She really didn’t expect that only one month of work would save so much money.

Rong Xi’s complexion was indifferent, with a knowing smile.

After the female officer left, Rong Xi said to Dan Xiang: “This Yongxi Palace is huge, as high as this palace, and as a rough **** and court lady, each one saves a few pennies a day. , They can save ten thousand taels in one month. Not to mention, what they have secretly hidden in the past is more than a few coins.”

******

On the day when Muhuai returned to the palace, the weather was fine, and a few red maple leaves floated outside the grille threshold window. The autumn scenery was very beautiful.

Rong Xi is not watching Gu Mujue or reading the account books every day, and he feels that the time has changed and his days have passed quickly.

She felt that once she got busy, she would not miss Mu Huai as much as before.

Recently, Mu Wei’s physical condition has become worse, and Rong Xi had a worry when he went to see her in Xu Taiyuan’s palace a while ago.

Mu Wei was seriously ill, and the Yintang became green, fearing that she would die soon.

Xu Taiyuan deliberately surrendered to her and Concubine De, but Rong Xi didn’t dare to trust outsiders easily because of Zhou Xun’s affairs.

When I went to the Moon Palace that day, I faintly learned an old thing.

This Xu Taiyuan was also the old man of Emperor Zhuang’s hidden residence. When she was pregnant with Mu Wei, the imperial doctor still couldn’t tell whether the child in her belly was a male or female.

Empress Dowager Zhai has no children, and she is very afraid of concubines and concubines who are pregnant.

Xu Taiyuan’s family background is average, no one is sheltered, and she is not wise. This allowed the Queen Mother to succeed in her conspiracy.

The lack of Mu Wei’s fetus was also due to the calculation of the Queen Mother.

Although Rong Xi had nothing to do with Mu Wei before, but seeing her as a young girl, she was suffering from illness all day long, and she couldn’t bear it.

Her palace has also been turned over.

According to Mu Huai’s thinking, the Jiaofang Palace was built very gorgeously.

But the concubines of Emperor Zhuang have resentment towards her.

Especially Concubine Hui, she often criticizes Rong Xi for the extravagance of building her own palace, but she discounts their consumption of food and clothing.

Rong Xi found that these toffees really like to get together.

Concubine Hui always took some low-ranking concubines to the Empress Dowager’s palace together. They would not talk about business matters when they gathered together, and would often complain about her as the queen together.

When Dan Xiang told Rong Xi about this, he carefully observed Rong Xi’s expression.

She knew that because of the Zhai family’s affairs, the master empress would be stunned when she mentioned the Queen Mother.

After Rong Xi learned about it, he didn’t endure the words of these concubines silently as before.

Empress Dowager Zhai couldn’t get out of her old palace, so Rong Xi took the imperial doctor and went to the palace of Empress Dowager Zhai.

When she called the imperial physician Mu Huai trusted to diagnose Empress Dowager Zhai’s pulse, Empress Dowager Zhai said unhappily, “Ai’s family is in good health, how can there be any disease?”

Rong Xi smiled and blessed his body slightly. Although his tone was respectful, he heard sarcasm in the ears of the Queen Mother: “Whether or not the mother’s body is healthy can only be known by the imperial doctor.”

The Queen Mother didn’t know what Rong Xi was thinking about, so she had to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse.

After the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, he said to Rong Xi in a decent manner: “Back to the queen mother, the queen mother has a small body disease, and this disease is not suitable for outsiders, and she needs to stay in the palace.”

Empress Zhai was slightly stunned, and asked Xiang Rongxi in a cold voice, “Did the queen forget the emperor’s decree? Today, when the emperor is called, he still has to put an unnecessary condition on Ai’s family?”

Rong Xi slowly replied: “The child minister respects the decree of the first emperor, and must put the mother’s back as the priority, so that he can take the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse of the mother’s queen, and detect signs of minor illnesses, so as to prevent the slightest dysfunction. The imperial physicians are superb. If you have a diagnosis of the wrong pulse, and ask the queen to rest in the palace, these days, those toffees will not bother you again.”

The complexions of Queen Mother Zhai and the maid Lan Ruo turned pale for a while.

Rong Xi just wanted to put her under house arrest, and didn’t want her to see the other concubines. On the surface, she was caring about her body, but in fact she was just looking for a reason.

Before leaving the palace, Rong Xi also restrained the feet of the Queen Mother, and under the banner of fearing that the Queen Mother would get sick, she did not allow the people in her palace to leave this place for half a step.

As soon as he left the palace, Rong Xi ran into Concubine Hui who was going to enter the Queen Mother’s Palace and the former Jie Yu.

Seeing the attendants around the Queen Mother’s palace, Princess Hui couldn’t help but ask Xiang Rongxi in a deep voice, “Are you putting the Queen Mother under house arrest?”

Rong Xi’s complexion remained unchanged, and he faintly replied: “The queen mother is ill, and it is not suitable to see outsiders. The palace has to send some attendants to guard them so as not to disturb the rest of the queen mother.”

Concubine Hui hated Rong Xi at first, so she retorted: “I see, it’s not that the queen mother is sick, but your queen gave her a name for the disease?”

Rong Xi’s delicate and beautiful face was cold, and there were quite a few palace people standing behind her, all of them silently watching the confrontation between Concubine Hui and her.

What kind of thing is Concubine Hui? Every time she sees her, she is always instigated by her anger. Does she dare to yell at her queen because of her seniority?

Rong Xi’s voice was still calm, but the conversation was obviously stinging. She asked Concubine Hui, “Does Concubine Hui see the imperial doctor standing behind the palace? Isn’t the imperial doctor diagnosed if the queen mother is sick? If you understand medical skills, you can go in to check the pulse of the queen mother to see if she is ill.”

Seeing Concubine Hui’s face turned pale, Rong Xi was about to count her expenses in the palace with her again in front of the palace.

She wants to let all the palace people see if she has detained her Huitai concubine.

At this time.

A little **** wearing a tufted head rushed over and said respectfully to Rong Xi with a little excitement: “Mother, the emperor has returned to Bianjing, and the minister of Shicai city gate came to report that the emperor is about to be by the city wall.”

After hearing this, Princess Hui had to take her away angrily.

She thought, the emperor came back very well, that Ajin’s face was almost broken by the queen Rong. After all, this Ajin also liked the emperor before. It’s better, let him see what the evil is about Rong. Face.

Rong Xi didn’t take care of the Concubine Hui any more. After hearing Mu Huai’s return, her eyes suddenly covered with mist.

The palace person looked at, the face of the empress’s empress, just look at it, still with the cruelty of a deep palace woman.

In just this moment of effort, her slightly fierce aura has been reduced a lot, and even with Duanli’s careful makeup, she has restored a little girly temperament that fits her age.

Rong Xi’s voice trembled a little, and said to Dan Xiang, “Go to Xuanhua Tower with this palace and welcome the emperor back.”

Dan Xiang answered excitedly.

The master Niangniang has been wronged too much in the past two months, and the emperor has returned, and she will definitely be able to support her.

This day, the autumn wind in Bianjing was bleak, slightly bitter.

When Mu Huai returned to the palace from the official road of the Royal Street, he did not ride on Huayu, but was dressed in the emperor’s attire, riding a sweaty horse before the crowd.

The leather belt Huasuo, the dark cloak are all blown by the autumn wind, the style can be described as the Hua belt flying scorpion, and the heroic.

Mu Huai wore a luxurious engraved golden crown on his head, and his eyes were deep and steady, not at all like a monarch who had just succeeded to the throne for two months.

The guards next to Xuanhua Building were already heavily guarded.

Xiangguo Yan Juxu made all the arrangements for welcoming the emperor in advance, dressed in court clothes, respectfully bowed to Mu Huai.

After Mu Huai dismounted, although he walked straight in Yan Juxu’s direction, he met Rong Xi’s sight not far away.

Rong Xi had already greeted her and got up, her eyes were fascinated by the wind and sand, and her eyes were sore and tearful.

If it wasn’t for too many people around, she really wanted to jump into the man’s arms immediately.

Fortunately, I was still upright, not crying in front of so many people.

Mu Huai’s voice was as low as ever, and full of magnetism. He said to Yan Juxu: “I am patrolling the east, and my country is in Bian, and it is hard to assist in politics.”

Yan Juxu replied with some trepidation: “The emperor has been praised. It is the duty of a minister to serve the emperor.”

After Mu Huai returned to the palace, the most important thing was to go to Qianyuan Palace with Yan Juxu and other important officials to talk about all the important tasks in Bianjing during the months he was away.

It can be seen that Rong Xi was looking at him with tears in his eyes, Mu Huai finally couldn’t bear it, and walked towards his little queen in front of the courtiers.

He grasped the woman’s slender little hand with a slightly awkward size, and Rong Xi raised his eyes to look at him, feeling that Mu Huai was carrying the coldness of autumn vegetation.

Mu Huai said that the temperature was light, and he whispered: “The queen is a little clearer.”

This tone sounds unusual in Rong Xi’s ears.

But the people standing around were a little surprised.

They had never heard Mu Huai, and they spoke with the same person in a deliberately gentle tone.

Seeing that Rong Xi was a little bit at a loss, Mu Huai lowered the pressure a bit, and told her: “I have important matters to discuss with the minister. Xi’er will go to the inner hall and wait for me first, and I will go to accompany you when I’m busy.”

Rong Xi nodded obediently.

She followed Mu Huai and Yan Xiang. Mu Huai was tall and straight, and was walking towards Qianyuan Palace with Yan Juxu.

Rong Xi knew that Mu Huai was not her husband, Zhiyan, but the emperor of all the people of Daqi.

After Mu Huai finished talking with the minister, it was getting late.

Rong Xi put on a simple and light makeup face, that delicate face suddenly became a little bit more tender, she had been waiting at the Eight Immortals table in the inner hall.

The dishes above have been heated up again.

After Mu Huai entered the inner hall, his expression was not tired. Seeing that Rong Xi was about to stand up and greet him, he motioned her to sit down with his eyes.

Rong Xi hadn’t been alone with Mu Huai for a long time, and felt very cramped, even unaware.

Mu Huai’s eyebrows were cold and thin. Seeing the sharp chin of the woman opposite the Eight Immortals Table, her face was slightly rounded and thinner before finally. Her petite body was wearing the queen’s heavy Ju dress, looking exceptionally thin.

Finally, I fattened her up a bit, and after only two months of work, she became thinner like this.

Mu Huai couldn’t help but frowned.

This woman is not the same as before. She likes to whisper to him.

Mu Huai felt a little flustered in his heart, for fear that this woman would share him with him.

It took only two months to tour the east, and this woman didn’t even stick to him.

Mu Huai’s expression was still calm. He spent a little bit of food and asked Xiang Rongxi: “Listen to Yan Xiang, you have been very effective in cooking the inner palace this month, and you saved ten thousand taels of silver?”

Rong Xi missed the man too much, and when he saw him, he didn’t know what to say.

The mist suddenly appeared in her eyes, she only nodded, and replied softly: “Yeah.”

Just as Mu Huai felt that she was particularly reticent, he looked up and saw that the beautiful eyes of the woman had already become teary.

Helpless, he put his chopsticks back and asked in a low voice: “Why are you crying?”

Mu Huaiyang called the palace man to withdraw the dishes, and embraced the pitiful woman in his arms.

In this hug, Mu Huai Fang felt that Rong Xi was as thin as boneless, and he didn’t dare to exert much effort.

He grabbed the woman’s slender hand, and whispered, “The hand is so ice, so I don’t know how to take good care of myself when I’m not here.”

While talking, he wiped the tears from the cheeks for the woman.

Rong Xi pressed his face to his chest and murmured like a mosquito: “The concubine misses her husband too much, so now she is very kind and hypocritical. Don’t be offended by your husband.”

Mu Huai pulled the corners of his lips slightly and replied, “Xi’er misses me, I am very happy.”

The two hugged for a while, and the palace man had prepared hot water.

Mu Huai hugged the delicate woman by her waist, feeling that her stature was too light, and her complexion sank a little bit imperceptibly.

Rong Xi was immersed in the hot soup, and the room was filled with warm mist.

The water overflowed all over the floor, and she leaned on Mu Huai’s shoulder, crying softly.

Mu Huai looked pitying, he pulled her wet hair away and asked her in a low voice, “Did I hurt Xi’er?”

Rong Xi shook his head with tears on his face.

Mu Huai paid much attention to him a long time ago, and Dun Lunqian will also prepare medicated fat in advance, so that it will not hurt her, let alone hurt her.

She knew that she must be very squeamish now, but when she thought about A Jin, she felt very sour in her heart.

But tonight, she would never mention A Jin with Mu Huai.

This was the day when she married Mu Huai Xiaobie wins their wedding, and no one can destroy it.

Mu Huai kissed away the tears in the corner of her eyes, and then asked in a dumb voice: “Can someone bully Xi’er, tell me?”

Rong Xi weakly and helplessly put Feifen’s small face on the man’s shoulder, and replied in a low voice, “No, no one dares to bully his concubines.”

Mu Huai gently stroked the woman’s thin back and kissed her forehead again.

He vaguely felt that Rong Xi was hiding something from him.

The current posture of the two is Rong Xi’s favorite.

But face to face, as if Mu Huai was holding her.

Rong Xi knew that Mu Huai had been holding back because of her sadness, so he murmured into the man’s ear like a sigh of relief: “If the husband moves, the concubines also think about it.”

Mu Huai couldn’t help the woman’s teasing. As soon as the words fell, he kissed deeply.

After the Jiao Ren’er was fished out, Mu Huai knew that she had been tossed and broke. Although he was still unfulfilled, he planned to accompany her to bed earlier.

His tall body had just embraced her, and Rong Xi immediately shrank into his arms like a baby bird homing.

It’s like a little demon who **** people.

Mu Huai laughed helplessly, and promised to the woman: “In the future, I will not leave Xi’er for so long.”

Rong Xi’s delicate face looked tired, she closed her eyes lightly, and replied softly: “My husband has nothing to say.”

Mu Huai returned to her: “I don’t know how to blame you.”

As soon as the words were over, the woman’s breathing gradually became even in her arms.

Mu Huai leaned over and kissed the center of her eyebrows, seeming to be muttering to herself, and said quietly and inaudibly: “Xi’er is too thin, I want to eat more fat, I can’t bear to touch you now.”

*****

Early the next morning, Mu Huai went down and accompany Rong Xi to Jiaofang Palace, which had just been repaired.

Seeing the woman regained her former brightness, Mu Huai’s heart also sank.

Rong Xi knew the man’s thoughts, and when Mu Huai accompanied her to see the new palace, he deliberately showed a look of excitement.

Mu Huai’s expression was cold. Seeing that the woman was satisfied with this place, his expression also eased.

He thought, this place is worthy of his Xier.

The outdoor autumn wind was harsh, and the two entered the side hall of Jiaofang Palace.

Danxiang offered hot tea for the empress sitting on the bed of Luohan, Rong Xi winked at her at this moment, Danxiang immediately understood.

Originally, Mu Huai watched Rong Xi sipping tea without any distractions, and thought she looked cute and cute with her eyelashes down, but she saw Danxiang lead a woman with a bulging belly into the side hall.

When Ah Jin entered the temple tremblingly, the eyes of the young and handsome new emperor looking at the queen were warm.

But when he turned his head to look at her, the deep eyes of the new emperor were cold, as if they were looking at a firefly.

Mu Huai was puzzled, and asked Xiang Rongxi, “Who is this palace lady, and what do you call her to come in?”

Rong Xi got up from Arhat’s bed and replied respectfully: “The emperor, the maid said that you were fortunate for her three months ago… and she is pregnant…”

Before he finished speaking, Rong Xi heard “Kang Dang–“.

Her eyes widened suddenly.

It was obvious that Mu Huai actually threw the tea cup at hand to the ground.

There were blue veins on his forehead, and he could hardly show a tyrannical and violent state.

Yi got up and walked towards A Jin aggressively.

Standing in the temple, Ah Jin felt frightened and stepped back again and again.

Rong Xi also walked to the side of Mu Huai and A Jin. She didn’t know whether Mu Huai was lucky enough to have A Jin, but A Jin was pregnant with a child in her belly. As a mother, she didn’t want to see a woman. Lost a child.

–“emperor……”

Rong Xi grabbed Mu Huai’s luxurious sleeves.

But Mu Huai grabbed her slender wrist and asked her to stand beside him.

Mu Huai looked at A Jin’s eyes, cold and breathtaking.

Rong Xi cried so sad last night, it must be because of this A Jin.

This palace lady who didn’t know where she came from, destroyed Rong Xi’s trust in him in these two months.

He worked hard for a long time before Rong Xi had some trust in him.

This **** caused his Xi’er to have a discord with him.

Mu Huai’s free hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the back of his hand also had blue veins.

The power of the emperor is daunting.

The palace people all knelt to the ground, so scared that they did not dare to gasp.

Just listen, Mu Huai asked A Jin in a very cold voice: “Where is the bitch? When did I get lucky with you?”
