The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Making Money with Favors

Zhen Huan fell ill due to "heart palpitations and fright", and when the day came for the new concubine to serve her in the emperor's bedchamber, her green card was taken off.

Instead, Shen Meizhuang took the initiative, and the new lady was the first to receive the emperor's favor.

What followed was a series of favors, silk and jewelry, and the name of "Changxi Hall" was changed to "Cunju Hall" with the emperor's personal calligraphy.

Knowing that Shen Meizhuang liked the chrysanthemum's integrity of "preferring to die with fragrance on the branch rather than be blown away by the north wind", he filled the yard with chrysanthemums for her to enjoy.

What was more important was that she was also rewarded with the "green chrysanthemum" cultivated in the greenhouse, and was also asked to learn and assist in managing the six palaces, which was a very glorious occasion.

This touched the nerves of Concubine Hua, who currently held the power to "assist in managing the six palaces." When she heard that the "Green Chrysanthemum" was on the way to Cunju Hall, she became furious.

I haven't been summoned to sleep with the emperor yet, so I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten about me.

One day when paying respects to the Queen, Shen Meizhuang was late because her clothes were accidentally soiled by a young eunuch on the way. Concubine Hua took the opportunity to make things difficult for her, fined her one month's monthly allowance, and also implicated Concubine Jing.

Then Concubine Hua summoned Noble Lady Fucha, who lived with me in the Yanx Palace, and taught her to "learn how to grind".

Concubine Hua didn't want them to become arrogant due to her favor in the future, so she had to make some preparations for the future.

Of course, there is also a great deal of jealousy.

It is said that the emperor not only did not stop this matter, but also gave a pot of Dongzhu presented by General Jilin to Concubine Hua as a reward for her thoughtful work in assisting the six palaces.

I remembered what happened not long after that, when Concubine Hua targeted Shen Meiyu in every way, pushed her into the Thousand Carp Pond, and even orchestrated the "fake pregnancy" incident, which made Shen Meiyu irreparable.

Although I haven't even seen the emperor yet, but after thinking and seeing these, I am no longer anxious and inferior, because the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and being favored now may not be a good thing. It is better to stay out of the spotlight and let them take the lead.

Winter had already arrived. These days, I've been living a quiet life in my Yanxi Palace. Apart from using my monthly ticket to trade with Huang Guiquan, I spend the rest of my time teaching the three servants how to embroider.

Seeing that the three little ones were embroidering better and better, I thought it was time to start selling them, so I took out the materials from the warehouse and asked them to start embroidering some patterns on them.

What I found out was a piece of plain satin that I received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs when I first entered the palace, and a piece of elegant cotton that Concubine Hua awarded me.

The price of these two pieces of satin is only fifty taels. I am thinking of embroidering something on them to see if I can sell them for a high price.

I found a way to contact the "Hua Xi Textile" that Zhen Huan told me about before entering the palace, and then asked Yan Xiaobao to send the embroidery material out.

I was very surprised that these two pieces of material worth fifty taels were sold at a high price of two hundred taels.

Yan Xiaobao came back to report that the people from Huaxi Weaving all praised the material when they saw it, saying that if it became popular in the market, it would surely attract many people to buy it and become a fashion, so they thought of buying some more.

I was overjoyed, but Yan Xiaobao looked troubled, probably because he felt that it would be too much to do embroidery work all the time.

Having lived in the palace for many years, I naturally know that in order to make the people in the palace obedient and convinced, prestige is one thing, the emperor's favor is another, but the most important thing is to reward them with money, so that they are willing to work for you sincerely.

I took out ten taels of silver and gave them to Yan Xiaobao, asking him to split it equally with Baojuan and Baoque, and told them that if they sold it again in the future, I would give them one twentieth of the money each time.

As a concubine, my annual salary is only thirty taels, which is two and a half taels per month, and these servants' monthly salary is even less.

They were naturally very happy to have a few more taels of silver every month, and they worked even harder.

She happily took the piece of cloud satin given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when she first entered the palace, and the xinhua cloud gauze awarded by Concubine Hua, and continued to do needlework.

I was not idle either. I took out the brocade and made a heater cover for Zhen Huan.

This is the same as doing business with Hua Xi Textile, but we cannot miss out on personal relationships.
