The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and happiness~"

Everyone stood up and saluted. Fucha Langya was helped to take a seat by Suxin and said in a friendly manner, "Hello, sisters, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Queen."

After sitting down, Huang Qiying looked up and her heart skipped a beat. This dress... She looked at Su Xin, and Su Xin gave her a subtle wink, and Huang Qiying felt a little relieved.

"The Empress's clothes are very beautiful. I don't think they are the luxurious brocades commonly used in the harem." Gao Xiyue was indeed a die-hard fan of the Empress. Without waiting for the Empress's signal, she took the initiative to bring out the Empress's purpose today.

"Xiyue has good taste. This dress of mine has been made with pearls and ordinary warm satin instead of gold thread. The manpower and material resources spent on it are much less than the brocade that my sisters usually like to wear."

Jin Yuyan originally wanted to agree with Gao Xiyue to support the queen, but she felt something was wrong when the queen said this.

really!

"The embroidery of the imperial harem is often admired by the people, and if this continues, extravagance will become a trend.

Even if the country is rich and the people are strong, the harem cannot be squandered. Otherwise, how many generations can the foundation left by our ancestors withstand?"

The queen's purpose was obvious, and the concubines all felt uneasy: Oh no, the queen is coming for us this time.

Even Gao Xiyue was secretly complaining in her heart, "Sister Queen, you didn't say that I was cooperating with you to do something that would offend everyone today!"

Fu Cha Langya's true intentions were exposed. "I will set an example myself and follow the old rules of our ancestors. From today on, I will no longer use the expensive tribute materials from Jiangnan, nor will I wear expensive jewelry. The rouge and powder I use on a daily basis will also be reduced by half.

However, the princes and princesses are still young, so the maids and eunuchs who serve them, as well as their expenses, do not need to be touched."

"Huh, thank goodness they didn't say to reduce the charcoal fire by half." Winters in the capital are always extremely cold. She is afraid of the cold and cannot stand the lack of charcoal fire in winter.

As for the princesses and princes' expenses remaining the same, this must be Su Xin's contribution. I don't know how much she spent to persuade Fu Cha Langya to give up the idea of ​​taking action against the child.

(The word "take action" here does not refer to harming anyone, but simply means that she wanted to gather all the children in Xiefang Palace and entrust them to the care of servants, and also laid off half of the servants who served the princess and the princes.)

Huang Qiying and Su Lujun both breathed a sigh of relief. They were both mothers, and their families sent money to the palace every month. They were both concubines and were not favored by the emperor, so it didn't matter if their allowance was less. They didn't care about rouge, powder, clothes, and jewelry, because they were not favored anyway.

But the children cannot be neglected. Fortunately, the queen did not touch the people around them.

But it was obviously too early to relax.

"Also, according to ancestral rules, princes cannot be raised directly by their biological mothers."

"Your Majesty, Yongzhang is still young, he can't leave his mother!" Before the Queen finished speaking, Su Lujun became restless and knelt down in a hurry to interrupt the Queen.

"Princess Chun, you stand up first. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. You should learn from Concubine Yi and stop kneeling all the time."

Su Lujun looked at Huang Qiying when she heard that. Concubine Yi was indeed not panicked. She looked at Huang Qiying with some resentment, and her eyes said: How can you sit still when this concerns the child!

Huang Qiying smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

I whispered in my heart: Queen, you don’t have to call my name at this time.

"The Emperor and I originally discussed sending the princess and the princes to Xiefang Palace for upbringing. However, we later considered that the princes were mostly young and unable to control the servants. Without the sisters watching over them, I'm afraid some servants would pretend to obey but actually serve them perfunctorily.

Therefore, after discussing with the Emperor, we decided to follow the old rules of Emperor Kangxi's harem, that children born in the harem would be raised by concubines in other palaces before they were seven years old.

Just like the sisters Jingqin and Jingyuan, they will be taken care of by Xiyue from now on. Qiying, do you agree?"

Is the Queen asking for her opinion? Of course not, she is asking her to express her submission!

Fortunately, the two girls were very smart and close to Gao Xiyue, so she was not too reluctant to leave. She got down from the chair and bowed, "Sister Noble Concubine is gentle and kind, and she is on good terms with me. I am naturally relieved. I hope you will take good care of sisters Jingqin and Jingyuan in the future."

The first sentence expresses his stance to the Queen, and the second sentence is addressed to Gao Xiyue.

"Don't worry, sister! I will treat them as my own daughters. If you miss them, you are always welcome to Yongshou Palace!" Gao Xiyue was so happy to have two little girls that she naturally promised to take good care of them.

Fucha Langya nodded and said, "Please sit down." She then arranged for Yongzhang and the others to go to the hospital. "Yonghuang is a child without a mother. In the future, Concubine Chun will have to take care of him."

"Ah?" Su Lujun was obviously still not recovered from the shock of the impending separation of mother and child, and was stunned when she heard the words. It was only when her trusted maid secretly pushed her that she reacted and saluted, "Yes, I obey your command."

"And Yongzhang, Lady Jia, I'm leaving Yongzhang in your care. You must take good care of him from now on."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although I have never been a mother, I will definitely treat the Third Prince as my own." Although Jin Yuyan didn't want to raise someone else's child, how could she not agree since the emperor had agreed?

"Yes." Langhua was satisfied and looked at Chen Wanyin at the end. "Wan agrees. You are also an old friend of the Qiandi Palace and you are devoted to the Emperor. Today, I will promote you to Wan Changzai. In the future, you must serve the Emperor more diligently and share his worries."

"Ah, yes, I thank the Queen for her grace."

Chen Wanyin was a little surprised. She thought she could also raise a child, although her rank was too low and it was impossible, so she just thought about it. However, she didn't expect that although the queen did not allow her to raise a child, she raised her rank. It was really a pleasant surprise.

Everyone was a little puzzled. Aren't we talking about the princes and princesses? Why was Chen Wanyin's rank promoted? On what basis?

Huang Qiying understood. She had previously lamented in front of the Queen that Wan Ying was truly sincere to the Emperor, but it was a pity that the Emperor only had eyes for Qingying and could not see anyone else.

The queen was puzzled. Chen Wanyin had always been low-key. How did Huang Qi know that she was deeply in love with the emperor?

If the master has doubts, the servant naturally has to resolve them.

Su Xin quickly discovered that Chen Wanyin had painted many portraits of the emperor over the years, each one vivid and lifelike. It was obvious she had put so much effort into them, yet she never revealed them to anyone else, even keeping the paintings hidden.

If it weren't for chance, Huang Qiying would not have been able to know what he was thinking.

The Empress was moved by her sincerity, and secondly, Qingying's constant attitude of "You're all attracted to the Emperor's status, only I'm sincere to Brother Hongli" really irritated Langya. So she wanted to let the Emperor know Chen Wanyin's deep affection!

Everyone kept their thoughts secret, but on the surface they all looked happy for Chen Wanyin and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Sister Wan."

"Also, my daughters Jingse, Jinghuan, and Jingyun will all be raised by the Queen Mother in the future. Qiying, can you rest assured?"

"I dare not. Your Majesty, I am sorry for embarrassing my younger sister. I am so happy to have the Queen Mother to teach me!"

The Queen did not say what to do with the second prince Yonglian, but after returning, everyone soon found out that Yonglian was taken to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor to be personally educated. For a moment, everyone felt very sad!

Zhen Huan actually had no objection to helping concubines take care of children, but Jingse always thought about her Empress Dowager and ran to Changchun Palace whenever she had time. Zhen Huan did not stop her. She felt a lot more relaxed without having a granddaughter around.

Moreover, what she is most concerned about now is Fu Cha Langya's order to cut the expenses of the harem.

If the concubines were dressed up beautifully, even if the emperor was still in mourning and could not see or eat them, at least he would feel comfortable looking at them.

Now that the Queen has done this, the Emperor has lost a lot of interest.

No one knows a son better than his mother. Zhen Huan understood better than anyone else: her son was a lustful man. If the concubines in the harem did not satisfy him, he would naturally seek happiness elsewhere.

It just so happened that there was a good seedling in the Nan Mansion, and she had already cultivated him, just waiting for Hongli to take the bait.

In this way, when the concubines in the palace were busy taking care of their children and had no time to take care of other things, the emperor unknowingly summoned the musicians from the Nan Palace several times.

In the blink of an eye, the three-month mourning period was over, and the palace finally resumed the consumption of taboo items such as alcohol and meat.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor, empress, concubines, and children came to pay their respects to the empress dowager.

Zhen Huan was so affectionate in her arms holding Yonglian, but when she looked at the Third Prince Yongzhang in the arms of his wet nurse, her eyes were filled with distress and she said, "You've lost weight."

Jin Yuyan knelt down in fear and said, "It is because of my uselessness that Third Prince has suffered."

The Third Prince used to live with his biological mother and was raised by Su Lujun, making him plump and chubby. However, he had obviously lost a lot of weight during the two months he was raised in Qixiang Palace.

"You are useless. I heard that among the children, Yongzhang is the only one who can't eat or sleep well."

"Please forgive me, Empress Dowager. I am a fool, but I have no unkindness towards the Third Prince. Please forgive me for the dedication I have put in taking care of him these days."

Jin Yuyan has indeed had a hard time these days. Yongzhang was spoiled by Su Lujun and would cry if he was not satisfied with anything. Jin Yuyan was tortured by him so much that she couldn't even think about the prince she was thinking about.

Just look at the dark circles under her eyes that even makeup can't cover up. Of course, she deliberately left the dark circles under her eyes for everyone to see.

"Oh, never mind. You're young after all, and you've never had children before. It's really hard to take care of a child for the first time. Pay more attention to yourself in the future. Yongzhang can't keep losing weight like this."

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your consideration. I will do my best to take care of He Yongzhang in the future."

After discussing Yong Zhang, the Queen Mother looked at the princesses again.

The sisters Jingqin and Jingyuan were the best at clinging to the Empress Dowager. They had been raised by the Empress Dowager for a while and had established an emotional foundation with her. As soon as the Empress Dowager waved her hand, they rushed over and hugged the Empress Dowager, calling her "Ma'ma" all the time.

It's rare that they can speak so fluently at their age.

But the eldest princess Jingse was very reserved and could not act as coquettishly and cutely as Jingqin and Jingyuan. She just snuggled up to Fucha Langya and was unwilling to go over.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. The children were very respectful of this grandparent-grandchildren reunion scene. Even the normally quiet eldest prince, Yonghuang, offered a few auspicious words. Their well-behaved and sensible appearance made Zhen Huan feel pity for them.

But Jingse just refused to cooperate.
