The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system

Half an hour later.

The chief steward stood in an open space in the front yard of the imperial palace, facing the servants who had been busy for many days. He cleared his throat and said loudly in a loud voice:

"In recent days, you have all been busy and toiling for the master's wedding. Thank you for your hard work. Therefore, the benevolent and generous Empress has specially prepared generous rewards for you all."

As soon as the words fell, the scene was silent at first, and then, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it instantly stirred up a thousand waves.

The entire imperial palace was in an uproar, with cheers and exclamations rising one after another.

"Everyone has a share, come and line up to get it!" the butler shouted again.

Upon hearing these words, the servants, who were originally a little reserved, immediately rushed to the front of the queue like a tide, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would miss this rare gift.

Soon, the maids and servants who were the first to receive the rewards could no longer contain their joy and began to whisper to each other excitedly.

"The Sixth Imperial Concubine actually gave each of us two taels of silver and two large bags of snacks. This is so generous!" said a little maid with a look of surprise on her face.

Another maidservant beside her nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! Our monthly salary is usually only one or two taels of silver, but this time the reward is twice as much as usual!

Add in these two large bags of rare snacks, and the total value must be at least five taels of silver."

At this time, a servant came over and interrupted, "And the head steward just said that as long as we work hard and do a good job, not only will our monthly wages increase, but we will also receive generous rewards during festivals."

"Oh my! If this matter were to spread to other mansions, those servants would surely envy us to death!" One of the tall maids laughed, covering her mouth.

Everyone was praising Yun Zhizhi, either explicitly or implicitly.

For a moment, the entire palace was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

After handing out the rewards to the servants, the chief steward called the guard Zhao Yi over with a beaming smile: "The imperial concubine has prepared double the rewards for you guards and the secret guards."

"Tell them all to come to me later to receive their four ounces of silver and four large bags of snacks."

After hearing this, Zhao Yi was very happy, but at the same time his curiosity was aroused.

He rolled his eyes, and with a smile, he leaned close to the butler's ear and asked in a low voice, gossiping, "Butler, can you tell me the truth? How much silver and snacks did the Sixth Imperial Concubine give you?"

The butler was slightly stunned at first, then he straightened his chest, raised his chin proudly, and a smug smile spread across his face.

He coughed lightly and replied mysteriously, "Haha, thanks to the Sixth Imperial Concubine, this old servant has received quite a bit of reward. After all, my position is there."

"As for how much silver and snacks were given as rewards, it's best not to be too nosy. If you find out, you might become upset and jealous, which would be bad."

At this time, Xiao Tao ran over with a piece of paper and said to the chief steward, "Chief steward, please send someone to post this reward list on the public notice board of the imperial palace."

"The Imperial Concubine said that for the sake of fairness, from today onwards, who received the reward and what the reward was will be made public one by one."

After saying that, Xiao Tao was about to hand over the reward list to the chief steward when she was suddenly intercepted by Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi quickly grabbed the paper and scanned the first column of names on it with his sharp eyes.

In an instant, his eyes fixed on the eye-catching name at the top - Butler.

Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sly smile, and he said sarcastically, "Wow! So the butler got three times the reward and snacks! Seeing how cocky you were just now, I thought you got many times more."

"These six taels of silver and six bags of snacks are not enough to make me envious or hateful."

In the entire imperial palace, the only person he envied, hated and envied was Zhao Wu.

Ever since the flattering Zhao Wu followed the imperial concubine, he not only ate well and slept well, but also gained a lot of weight.

Yesterday, the five personal guards took advantage of him being drunk, tied him up like a piglet, and weighed him. They found that he had gained a full five kilograms in weight.

Moreover, when the imperial concubine usually set up her stall for three days and fished for two days, he would also join in the laziness.

It’s so cool!

The butler, whose boasting was exposed and who was slapped in the face in public, smiled awkwardly, quickly snatched the reward list from Zhao Yi, and ran away without saying a word.

Yesterday, the Sixth Prince got married, and several interesting things happened during this period. The news spread like wildfire throughout the capital city.

Many common people, especially those aunts and uncles who like to gossip about family matters, always like to gather together, eating melon seeds and enthusiastically discussing the interesting stories behind the wedding banquet.
