"Sisters, I have heard that snow disasters have occurred in Shengjing for many generations, and Zhili has not been spared. We should do our best to help the emperor solve his problems. I see that our harem should also reduce its use.

Save it!" Concubine Xian glanced at everyone and said with a smile, but there was no doubt in her words. [ ]

As soon as they heard that the expenses of the harem were going to be reduced, the faces of everyone present became a little ugly.

"Your Majesty, the monthly money and expenses provided by the palace every day are just enough for the daily expenses of all the sisters. If the expenses are reduced, it will be difficult in the future!" Yibin said with a worried look on her face.

As a concubine, you don't have to worry about food, clothing and housing, but there is also a place where money can be used, and rewarding slaves is a huge sum.

Concubine Xian did not expect that the first person to complain would be Yibin, who had been following her lead these days, but... she had never had expectations for them.

In order not to be isolated by everyone, she had no choice but to bribe these losers.

"I will naturally consider it for all my sisters. I just want to reduce the expenses a little. It won't be a big problem!" Concubine Xian glanced at Yibin without any trace and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, is it the emperor's intention to reduce the expenses of the harem?" Concubine Jia asked with a smile.

"I have said that this is to share the emperor's worries, so naturally it is not the emperor's will!" Concubine Xian returned patiently.

"Since it is not the emperor's will, may I ask the empress if it is the empress dowager and empress's will?" Concubine Jia asked again.

"No!" Concubine Xian looked at her and said word by word.

"In this case, it is difficult for me to ask you to forgive me!" Concubine Jia said with a smile.

"What's the matter? As a concubine in the harem, Concubine Jia is unwilling to share the emperor's worries and solve his problems?" Concubine Xian suddenly darkened her face.

Concubine Jia snorted coldly and said nothing. Now her expenses are just barely enough to survive. Because she is not very favored, the emperor's rewards are less. What's more, there will be no need for money in the future.

If it's more, she won't agree to it.

"Concubine Jia, are you deliberately going against me?" Concubine Xian suddenly sneered.

"I don't dare, my concubine. Your Majesty is now responsible for taking care of the harem. I will naturally look after my Majesty, but... there are some things that I'm afraid you won't be able to decide!" Concubine Jia seemed to have something to rely on and was not afraid.

Concubine Xian was angry.

Concubine Xian clenched her hands tightly. It seemed that if she didn't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys today, she might not be able to control these people in the future. It's just Concubine Jia... well, it's her own fault for trying to be strong.

"Concubine Jia, I am running the harem under the orders of the Queen Mother. If you don't respect my will, you are disrespecting the Queen Mother's will! I can only ask the Queen Mother to discipline me. Someone is here. Please go to Concubine Jia to be kind."

Ning Gong apologizes to the Queen Mother!" Concubine Xian said coldly.

When Concubine Jia heard this, she sneered. At this point, Concubine Xian had no choice but to use the Queen Mother to suppress others, but how could she be controlled by others.

"My Lady, please don't be angry. I have been very restless in recent days, and what I say will inevitably not be heard. I felt a little unhappy when I came to greet you today. I called the imperial doctor to see you. The doctor said that I am already more than three months pregnant.

, You should have peace of mind to raise your baby!" When Concubine Jia said this, she saw everyone looked surprised, and then she smiled and said: "As you all sisters know, it is cold in winter, and I am always afraid of the cold, so I wear a lot of clothes.

, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, I thought I was getting fat, but I never thought I was pregnant!”

Wei Ning'er looked at Concubine Jia next to her. After being surprised, she realized that her belly was indeed slightly bulging. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell.

"Congratulations, sister!" Wei Ning'er smiled.

"Congratulations to Concubine Jia!" Lu Yunxi and others immediately stood up.

Concubine Xian's face turned slightly pale, but she did not dare to embarrass Concubine Jia at this time. After a moment, she said coldly: "In that case, someone is here, please ask the imperial doctor to diagnose Concubine Jia's pulse!"

"Why, do you think your concubine is lying?" Concubine Jia suddenly darkened her face.

"Concubine Jia, I am doing this for your own good. Imperial doctors sometimes make mistakes when diagnosing your pulse. If you don't confirm it as soon as possible, if you don't have a dragon seed in your belly, Concubine Jia, then you will be guilty of deceiving the king!" Xian!

The imperial concubine smiled.

When Concubine Jia heard this, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes. She knew clearly whether she was pregnant or not, and now she summoned the imperial doctor. This was a deliberate insult to her.

"The Pure Imperial Concubine has arrived!" At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside.

"May the pure noble concubine be blessed!" All the concubines immediately stood up to say hello.

"Sisters, there is no need to be polite. What a huge formation this early in the morning!" Concubine Chun said with a smile as she walked in.

Concubine Jia, who was sitting on the right, immediately stood up and said with a smile: "My queen, please take a seat!"

Concubine Chun helped her sit down and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Jia, please sit down. I heard from outside that my sister is pregnant. Congratulations!"

Concubine Yu on the left also stood up and said softly: "My queen, please take a seat!"

Concubine Chun glanced at Concubine Yu and sat down unceremoniously, Concubine Yu sat below her.

"The princess was very noisy today, and I wasted some time. Sister Xian won't care about it, right?" Concubine Chun looked at Concubine Xian who was sitting on top and said casually.

Concubine Xian looked at her and said after a while: "Since the princess is ill, I will allow you, Concubine Chun, to return to the palace to take care of the princess. There is no need to distract yourself from coming to Yikun Palace to pay your respects in the past few days!"

"Princess, please don't bother Sister Xian. I have my own sense of proportion. Now that you are in charge of the harem, I will naturally come to pay my respects!" Concubine Chun said with a bit of sarcasm on her face.

Concubine Xian gave her a steady look and then said to Mu Yun beside her: "Did you send someone to ask for the imperial doctor?"

"Empress Qi, let's go!" Mu Yun responded.

"What's wrong? Is Sister Xian feeling unwell?" Concubine Chun pretended to be concerned.

When Concubine Xian heard this, a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes. Concubine Xian was asking questions knowingly, but it was not easy for her to fall out with her at this time, so she said softly: "Concubine Jia's sister is pregnant, and I want Dr. Xuan to come and take a look.

Only then can I report back to the Emperor and the Queen Mother!"

However, Concubine Jia suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "No need to bother Concubine Xian, I will go to Yangxin Hall to see the Emperor."

Seeing Concubine Jia angrily leaving with the help of the palace maid, it took a moment for everyone to come back to their senses.

Concubine Xian's hand on the chair tightened, but she didn't have any trouble. After a moment, she smiled and said: "I said earlier that I would reduce some expenses. Sisters, do you have any objection?"

"Reducing expenses?" Concubine Chun exclaimed, immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "Sisters, I am worried about the princess and have returned to the palace first!"

Wei Ning'er also stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty sent someone to pass the order early in the morning, saying that he was going to Yanxi Palace next court. I saw that the time was almost up, so I resigned."

"Your Majesty, my concubine's old habit of having sex has happened again. As you know, my concubine often fell ill when she was in the palace, and she can't stand it anymore!" Chen Guiren also stood up, and the palace maid beside her stood up.

He walked out with help.

After a while, Lu Yunxi, Yi Bin, and Shu Bin each resigned for different reasons. For a while, only Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu were left in the main hall of Yikun Palace.

"Why don't you leave?" Concubine Xian's face turned slightly pale at this time. She looked at Concubine Yu and shouted.

"Empress!" Concubine Yu stood up and said softly: "Without the will of the Empress, I dare not retreat!"

"Really? This is the first time I know that Concubine Yu is so understanding of etiquette!" Concubine Xian looked at her coldly and smiled.

"My Majesty, you know that if it weren't for Yong Qi, I would not stay here. However... I ask your Majesty to be kind to Yong Qi, otherwise even if I fight to the death, I will not give up!" If not!

She was afraid that her son would be bullied, so why did she bother to stay alone and be looked down upon by others.

Concubine Xian looked at her. Although the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed, she did not break out on the spot. She then said in a deep voice: "Stay back!"

"Concubine, please leave!" Concubine Yu didn't get what she asked for, so she immediately stood up and left.

Looking at the empty hall, Concubine Xian was silent for a long time. After a while, she held her forehead and shook her head helplessly.

"Mother, why are you doing this!" Mu Yun's words were full of bitterness.

"Mu Yun, since I decided to take this step, then... fighting is the only thing I can do now. Unfortunately... this is not the best time, but it makes it difficult for me to move forward in this harem.

!" Concubine Xian sighed.

"Then why don't you go back to the Queen Mother and resign from the temporary management of the harem!" Mu Yun immediately suggested.

Concubine Xian shook her head gently: "Some things... once you have them, it's too difficult to give them up."

She has been keeping a low profile for so many years. Now that her long-cherished wish has just been achieved, how can she give up?

"But ladies and gentlemen, you have now made it clear that if you don't listen to Madam, if this continues, Madam, you will be in a worrying situation!" Mu Yun said very worriedly.

Hearing this, Concubine Xian had a wry smile on her face: "I am too eager for quick success. Originally I just wanted to let them reduce their expenses a little, so as not to hurt their muscles and bones. I think they won't care too much. Now the Queen Mother will

will be more satisfied with me, and the emperor will also look at me with admiration. But now it seems that my thinking is too simple. Once money is involved, they will not give in at all. I finally understand why, after so many years,

, the queen couldn’t help but not reduce the expenses of the harem, and even increased them.”

"My Lady, please don't mention money in the future, otherwise I'm afraid all the ladies will not let it go!" Mu Yun was worried and immediately suggested.

"That can't be done. I have never taken back what I said. No matter how much the price is, I will never give up!" If this matter is not handled well, she will still be in the eyes of the concubines in the harem in the future.

What prestige is there?

"Mu Yun, go and bring Shu Shu to me!" After a while, Concubine Xian seemed to have made up her mind and ordered Mu Yun beside her.
