The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

Anyway, everyone thinks that Lin Mo must not be normal.

But even though the gifts this girl gave were not very normal, they were indeed quite exciting because you had no idea what she would come up with.

The official beside Minister Lin asked curiously, "Master Lin, do you know what kind of jade carving Master Lin is going to give to the Queen?"

Minister Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know." He didn't know what this girl did in her room every day. Anyway, her yard was always bustling with activity.

Ever since the system turned into a human, these two people have been causing chaos in the yard. Today they are causing trouble in this yard, and tomorrow they are causing trouble in that yard. The two of them have messed up their own yard to the point of no return.

Lin Qi suddenly remembered a semi-finished jade carving he saw that day.

It looks like a chicken, right? Could it be that this girl's gift to the Queen?

Lin Mo started to keep everyone in suspense. The gift she gave this time would definitely amaze everyone like last time!

Until the end of the court session, no one knew what she was going to give to the Queen.

After leaving court, the prince immediately went to find his mother.

The Queen is now counting the accounts with a group of concubines. The income during this period is quite a lot. The Emperor's clothes are selling very well, and the gifts from ministers on their birthdays every year are also selling well.

"The emperor's underwear is running low now. If you take it, remember to restock it. You don't need to use too fine fabrics, just use something that won't scratch your butt."

The Empress said without looking up while turning the abacus: "Oh, Concubine De, didn't the Emperor take a jade bottle from your palace last time? Remember to ask him to return it. These need to be put into the warehouse. If you run out of money, you can still sell them."

Concubine De nodded and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. I will definitely get the emperor back."

The prince standing at the door: ...Why do I feel that the ladies in the harem are a little different from the ones he has seen before.

Although my father's harem has always been so harmonious, it now seems a little less like a harem and more like an accounting office.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother and greets all the ladies," the prince was quite serious in front of his elders.

"Hey, the prince is here. What's the matter with you coming here today?"

Everyone looked to see if the prince had brought any gifts, and there was a hint of disappointment on their faces when they saw that he came empty-handed.

Tsk! They didn't even bring some good things with them. They didn't know how hard it was for the elders in the harem.

The emperor had few concubines and only gave birth to a few princes and princesses, so they were basically raised by everyone together.

The concubines raised these children as if they were their own.

The queen was too lazy to greet her son. "If you have nothing to do, please find a place to sit. We are very busy now."

"Oh, remember to remind your father to return the jade bottle in Concubine De's palace. It's not right for an emperor to take other people's things!"

"Okay, mother. I will remind father."

The prince’s mind is a little confused now:...What was I doing?

When he left the palace, he didn't say anything.

No! Didn't I come to tell my mother about the gift that Lord Kobayashi sent him? How did I get sidetracked?

After the queen sent her son away, she took a group of concubines to embroider.

There is no other way. They have to make as much money as possible. What's more, they are noble ladies. Apart from chatting in the group, they usually do embroidery, which is also their specialty.

As soon as Emperor Xuande entered the harem, he found nothing.

Looking at the empty Fengyi Palace, he asked in confusion: "Where is the queen?"

The maid at the door replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress has taken the ladies to the embroidery room."

Went to the embroidery room? Could it be that she was going to make something new for him?

Emperor Xuande's eyes suddenly lit up.

The last time the Queen brought the concubines to embroider something for him was five years ago. He is still wearing the sachet and shoes.

Tsk, the Queen and his concubines are so nice, they know how to sympathize with him!

At this moment in the embroidery room, the Queen, the concubines and the embroiderers were working very hard.

The queen took out a piece of medium-quality cloth and said, "Who among you has time? Use this cloth to embroider a sachet for the emperor. Just embroider it casually."

Everyone present lowered their heads. They were very busy and didn't have the time for this.

The work on hand can be sold for money, but embroidering sachets for the emperor cannot be sold for money.

"Empress, I embroidered the sachet five years ago. I really don't want to embroider it this year. This piece of cloth is not bad. How about changing it for a worse one?" Defei felt really distressed when she looked at the cloth, because they bought it with their own money!

The Queen: "You are the Emperor after all. How can you use inferior fabrics? This one is just passable. Since you came five years ago, I will do it this year."

The queen sighed and had to do it herself.

There is really no other concubine who can achieve the level they have.

Everyone thought that these concubines in the harem were enjoying a good life, with someone to serve them no matter what they did, and they had the best food, drink and clothing.

But who knows? Even though there are people serving them, it’s not as good as they imagined.

The emperor has no money, and the harem has no money either!

Although the national treasury is now full, they can't use the money in the treasury, so they still have to be self-reliant.

Moreover, their dowries were large, which is why they have managed to survive all these years.

Three days later, Emperor Xuande looked at the freshly-baked sachets and smiled brightly.

"I knew that the Queen cared about me the most. Look at how delicately this sachet is embroidered, and how fragrant it smells."

The emperor kept showing off in front of Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li was left a little speechless.

No, Your Majesty, the filter you use is a bit too big. This sachet is not exquisite at all. It might as well be something you buy on the street.

Moreover, the fabric is not the best. It looks like the ladies in the palace are just trying to please you.

However, Eunuch Li did not dare to say these words. The ladies' lives were already hard enough. Compared with the concubines in the previous emperor's harem, the ladies now lived worse than the lowest-ranking concubines at that time.

Although she had more servants than the lowest-ranking concubines before, the previous concubines had lower ranks, but basically she didn't have to do anything, and she was rewarded with good things from time to time.

The late emperor really committed a sin. If he hadn't squandered so much money, how could the emperor and the concubines in the palace be living such a miserable life now!
