Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 233 I’ll take care of your business
His mood was not smooth, so he used a lot of force in the movements of his hands, and the teacup and the covered bowl made a constant rustling sound.
Gu Qinghe heard it and glanced at the seat below him on the left. Concubine Li was sitting there. Her hands were like some kind of mechanism, constantly circling the teacup.
The other concubines naturally heard it as well, but no one said anything. They were just waiting for the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" to confront each other so that they could also watch the fun.
Gu Qinghe also put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Aunt Zhao behind Concubine Li. "Aunt Zhao, quickly take Mother's cup. It looks like Mother's muscles and bones are uncomfortable. Don't break a cup or bowl in Fengyi Palace. This kind of sin is something none of us can bear."
When she said the second half of the sentence, the Crown Princess's eyes met those of Concubine Li, and she asked with concern, "Mother, did you not stretch your muscles today?"
Concubine Li looked at the Crown Princess's half-smiling eyes and felt angry, but she couldn't refute. Now she was really under the control of this little girl.
She was no longer favored by the emperor and only came two or three times a month, mostly just to sleep. She had to admit that she was getting old.
But the emperor only loves the young. Even though he told her that he would love her for this life, it was all just a passing cloud.
Now, Concubine Li’s biggest hope is to wait for the prince to ascend the throne and become the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.
"The Crown Princess is just attentive. Maybe it's because the weather is still cold, and her fingers are stiff and out of control." Concubine Li said with a forced smile.
She said this on the surface, but her inner thoughts were completely the opposite. Just wait, Gu Qinghe, it's not legitimate now, just wait until you become the empress dowager, and everything will be fine.
When Concubine Liu heard what Concubine Li said, she couldn't help but raise her hand, cover her mouth with a pink handkerchief, and chuckled. This Concubine Li was just like that. She had just acted like she was not afraid of the Crown Princess at all outside.
As a result, the other person just smiled and said something, and she became weak. Haha, Concubine Li is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and she bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Concubine Li's hand shaking problem was solved, and Gu Qinghe began to talk about business. "My ladies, I have no control over the affairs of the Imperial Household Department. I only manage the Internal Affairs Department and the trivial matters in the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound similar to that of a girl's giggle was heard. Gu Qinghe looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there were indeed two girls, whom Gu Qinghe had never seen in his previous life.
In his previous life, the emperor's health was already failing, and he would definitely not accept new people into the palace. In this life, he changed doctors, and the number of times he went in and out of the harem increased.
These two should have been selected.
The palace selection of candidates is held every three years, while the minor selection is held at unspecified times and the candidates are usually the daughters or granddaughters of ministers.
Since he couldn't bring himself to mention a name, Gu Qinghe, as a junior of about the same age, couldn't point fingers at others and say, "You come to introduce yourself," so he just let it go.
"Everything will basically be done according to the precedent set when the Queen Mother was alive. Of course, so many years have passed, if there are any changes that need to be made, please tell me and I will then ask the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for instructions." Gu Qinghe smiled kindly, looking like he was very willing to negotiate.
At this time, you can't say "The Emperor and the Empress Dowager", just say whatever shows how close their relationship is.
"What the Crown Princess said makes sense." Concubine Liu took the lead in agreeing, and so did the others.
In fact, there is no other way except to listen to the arrangements of the Crown Princess. After all, if you don't listen now, you will still have to listen to her arrangements after a hundred years of the Emperor's reign, especially the concubines who have never given birth.
They all depend on the Crown Princess for their livelihood.
"If you ladies encounter any problems in your daily life, you can send someone to find me." Gu Qinghe said with a smile. Today's meeting went much more smoothly than she expected.
Just as the ceremony was about to end, Yun Zhaoyi spoke up, "Since the Crown Princess has spoken, I won't be polite. Although it's spring, I'm pregnant with the royal heir and I'm still very afraid of the cold. I asked the Imperial Household Department to send me some gold-thread charcoal, but Chief Steward Zhou Qingxi refused to give it to me."
Gu Qinghe listened with a calm expression. Today's trip brought all new problems that had not existed in the previous life. The root of the problems was that the emperor's energy had improved.
After hearing what Yun Zhaoyi said, Zhou Qingxi felt so wronged that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Crown Princess, please understand. The amount of gold-thread charcoal in this palace is fixed every year. Except for the shortage in the palaces of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, which is supplemented by gold-thread charcoal, all other places use silver frost charcoal or bamboo charcoal."
After saying that, Zhou Qingxi kowtowed on the ground. This Yun Zhaoyi was in cahoots with Chen Wenzhong, and she was trying to seduce him.
Gu Qinghe naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with the Internal Affairs Department's operations. She raised her hand and said, "Stop it! If you hit your head, who will do the work for me?"
Zhou Qingxi then stood up, his forehead already red, which made people sigh.
Even when I do things according to the rules, there are still people who find fault and make things difficult for me. It's really difficult to take care of everything.
Gu Qinghe smiled, straightened up, and looked at Yun Zhaoyi, "Empress Zhaoyi, what do you want me to do?"
"I don't know about this. I'm really afraid of the cold, otherwise I wouldn't have made things difficult for Manager Zhou." Yun Zhaoyi said apologetically, but her eyes were full of meaning, I did make things difficult for him.
"I just mentioned that if there were any changes that needed to be made, Yun Zhaoyi spoke up." Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "They're really efficient, but they're quick to raise questions and slow to make changes."
"If the Crown Princess is troubled, there is no need to change it." Yun Zhaoyi said regretfully.
"You don't have to change it, but I'll take care of your business." Gu Qinghe waved his hand, and Yingchun leaned over. "Take one hundred taels of silver and give it to Manager Zhou."
No one could understand this action. What was the Crown Princess doing?
Zhou Qingxi held the banknotes given by the Crown Princess in his hand, and thought to himself: The Crown Princess is indeed not a pretty vase, this is to disgust Yun Zhaoyi.
You also have to set an example for the harem. If you want extra things, just pay for it.
"Manager Zhou, Consort Yun is pregnant with my brother. I can't just ignore her. Give me one hundred taels of silver. You can buy it or do whatever you want. Consort Yun must use the golden charcoal tonight." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile.
"Yes, I will definitely do it." Zhou Qingxi replied loudly.
"I'll think about how to deal with this kind of thing that's beyond my quota later." Gu Qinghe smiled. How to deal with it? Of course, if you want to use it, you have to pay for it yourself. You can't leave an empty warehouse for yourself.
"The Crown Princess is truly kindhearted." Concubine Liu looked at Concubine Li across from her. After her initial hand trembling, she was now silent. "I envy Concubine Li."
Gu Qinghe didn't want to get involved in the bickering between the two, so he ended the meeting, "It's getting late, everyone should go back."
