I want to ruin the country

Wenqing was puzzled. According to the rules, a noble lady should have four palace maids serving her. What did the emperor mean?

"Your Majesty, what are their identities...?"

Yining Road,

"What status? No status, as long as they don't starve to death, that's fine. Let them learn Chinese first. Whoever learns faster and better will get a reward!"

Ever since returning from Tianjin, Hongxiu, Qingxi and Jintang have been feeling a little worried.

For no other reason than the beauties that Prince Gong brought back for the Emperor.

Wow, that head is taller than a man’s, and its appearance is whiter than flour. Its thighs are so thin and long, and it’s all legs from the neck down.

They don't wear skirts, they wear pants, so you can really see their thighs!

The double eyelids are as wide as a leek leaf, and the big eyeballs are rolling and blue, like sapphires.

The only problem is that my nose is so big that if it were shaved off it would weigh half a pound, which wouldn't look good.

When they laugh, they don't even know to cover their mouths with handkerchiefs, and just laugh with their big teeth showing, which is not ladylike.

But, it doesn’t matter whether they look good or not, or whether they are ladies or not, as long as the emperor thinks they look good, that’s all that matters!

Red Sleeve Road,

"Qingxi, you're the most thoughtful person. Think of a solution. What should we do?"

Qingxi was actually not feeling well, but she managed to keep her composure. She rolled her eyes at Hongxiu.

"Sister Xiu, you are stupid. What can I do? Can I send these women back to the West?"

Hongxiu pouted,

"But with so many people coming in, will we three still be visible?"

Qingxi said,

"Look at you like this, if the emperor saw you, you would look like a jealous woman!

Let me tell you, no matter how much the emperor loves you and likes you, he is also annoyed by jealous women.

You'd better pretend to be calm and not see anything, don't let the emperor see it!"

Hongxiu sat down on the stool.

"I can't pretend!"

Kam Tong Road,

"Even if you can't pretend, you have to pretend. Look at the emperors of every dynasty, and you'll see how few women there are around them.

Marrying her isn't enough, but...that emperor is having an affair with Fu Heng's wife Tang'er!

It is men’s nature to be lustful. They are always looking at what is in the pot while eating what is in the bowl, and they are never satisfied!

Sister Qingxi is right. The more jealous you are, the more the emperor will be annoyed with you. The more annoyed he is with you, the further away he will be from you, and slowly he will forget you!"

Hongxiu said,

"Actually, I understand the logic, but I just feel uncomfortable!"

Qingxi said,

"Be content. For several months now, it's been just the three of us serving the Emperor. You still think it will be like this forever? You're just wishful thinking!"

Kam Tong Road,

"You'll get used to it slowly. It's better to think about having children first. Having children gives you a backbone. Without children, you have no roots!"

Red Sleeve Road,

"What are you thinking? What should I do if I can't get pregnant?"

Qingxi said,

"Didn't you hear? The Emperor doesn't allow premature childbirth, saying it's bad for your health!"

Kam Tong Road,

"It's okay to be hurt. In a few years, there will be more and more women in the palace. Your land will always be barren. The emperor won't come to plant it for a month or two. You won't be able to get pregnant even if you want to!"

Red Sleeve Road,

"What should I do?"

Qingxi said,

"What else can we do? We'll try to be nice to the Emperor. When we get married, let's try to do it with one person first. Once one gets pregnant, we can move on to the second one!"

Red Sleeve Road,

"Why are you here alone?"

Kam Tong Road,

"Haven't you read in the book that it says a woman is most likely to get pregnant around eighty or ninety days after her period begins?

When those days come, we can find a way to get her to have more contact with the Emperor. Wouldn't that increase the chances?"

Hongxiu frowned and said,

"The Emperor isn't obedient either!"

Now, the three of them were most likely with Emperor Yining, and they were already very familiar with each other, so it was natural for them to talk about this matter. There was no sense of shyness.

Qingxi said,

"Sister Xiu, you are stupid. The three of us can't even take down the Emperor alone. That's too stupid!"

Kam Tong Road,

"That's right, when the critical moment comes and the emperor wants to change people, we can just be a little petty and that's it!"

Hongxiu suddenly became enlightened,

"This is a good idea!"

Qingxi said again,

"There's another way. Let's go find the imperial physician and ask for some prescriptions to help with pregnancy and a healthy pregnancy!"

Kam Tong Road,

"The imperial doctors are very corrupt. I'm afraid it won't work without spending money!"

Hongxiu was delighted when she heard this.

"We don't have anything else but money!"

Speaking of which, Hongxiu and Qingxi's salary is higher than Jintang's, but it's only twenty-five taels of silver each month.

This money is not enough to bribe the imperial physician.

However, Yining felt sorry for them and kept giving them silver notes worth a thousand or eight hundred taels, just because she was afraid that they would not have enough money to spend.

So, these two are standard rich people!

In the evening, just like before, the four of them did exercise.

In the end, Qingxi and Jintang escaped.

"Your Majesty, please take care of Hongxiu, we are tired!

Yining didn't expect that the three people had planned to plot against him, and everything was normal!

In the blink of an eye, it is the first day of the twelfth lunar month. There is a saying that goes, "The New Year begins as soon as the twelfth lunar month begins!" This saying originated from the Daqing period.

Because the New Year celebrations in the palace began at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and lasted until the twentieth day of the first lunar month. It took fifty or sixty days before and after the New Year.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor would go to Shufangzhai to bathe, change clothes, burn incense and worship.

Then use a brush engraved with the four characters "bless the common people" and dip it in cinnabar to write the character "Fu", which is called "opening the brush to bless".

Moreover, the first "Fu" character of each year must be sealed, which means to retain good fortune.

The second one is hung in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The "Fu" character written next would mostly be given as red envelopes to princes, ministers, and provincial governors.

Of course, the ministers would not hang the word "Fu" on the door, but would place it at home for worship.

Yining thought, everyone has been busy for a whole year, and the emperor only made a lucky character to celebrate the New Year. This emperor is too stingy!

No, he felt bad about it. He wanted to give everyone a year-end bonus this year and let everyone have a happy New Year. If they don’t have enough food and energy, their talents will not be revealed!

He issued a handwritten decree to give Lin Zexu, Du Shoutian, Chen Fuen and Seng Linqin a year-end bonus of 5 million Singapore dollars each.

Several other military ministers received three million yuan.

One million yuan for provincial and ministerial level cadres.

The salary for department-level officials is 500,000 yuan, and the salary for county-level officials is 300,000 yuan.

Even the village director received 5,000 yuan just after working for a few months.

People travel thousands of miles to become officials for money, and no one becomes an official unless they want to live a good life.

Since we don’t allow them to be greedy, we can’t let them live in poverty either.

Ruijin almost fainted from heartache when he received the handwritten notice for the year-end bonus.

The emperor is so unreasonable. He has just enjoyed a few days of good life, but now he has lost his temper.

He, he, he actually gave out red envelopes worth millions of taels of silver to his ministers in one go.

Isn't this a true prodigal son?

He stumbled over to the emperor in a hurry to argue.
