Wanxi held her knees and looked at the emperor with her head tilted her head, "But why did you give me some big red orangutan felts and bedding this year? It's better to give me the mats that I paid to Goryeo tribute in previous years? It's better to sit on the ground."

Wanxi hugged the emperor's arm and shook it gently, "Master, I will use these big red orangutan felts to exchange for those mats in previous years?"

The emperor coughed with a choking sound, raised his fist and pressed his mouth, raised his eyes to glance at Wanxi.

Wanxi smiled and shook her head gently, "Don't hide it from me, I already know it. Goryeo paid tribute on the 28th day of the first lunar month. According to the practice of previous years, the tribute should have been sent in. This year, there has not been a moment, so it is not that people don't want to pay any more."

The emperor felt hotter, "What else can they pay? It's just broken mats! It's better not to ask!"

Wanxi smiled and lowered her head, her fingers hooked the emperor's fingers.

The emperor was angry and his fist was clenched and pressed it to the ground. He asked Wanxi to hook it up like this, and the rest of his fingers could not be clenched.

Wanxi played with the emperor's innocent finger, "You are right, aren't it just broken mats? We are not like their country, where can we eat and sleep underground? We sit on the kang, sleep on the bed, and there are big red orangutan felts, and all kinds of mattresses. When we go to bed, who would like to use their mats?"

Wanxi pointed at her opponent, "They are all the most ordinary folk families in the countryside. They have no side paving on the kang, so they are only laying the kang mat."

The emperor also sighed, "Even this habit of sitting and lying on the ground, they also learned from our China. However, the history of sitting and lying on the ground in China has to go back to the Han Dynasty, which happened more than a thousand years ago!"

Wanxi clapped her hands loudly, "That's it! So you said, those broken mats are not paid. Who of us cares about them seriously?"

"That's it! What does it mean to be a treasure of a bride? What does Yelang be arrogant? It means they are simply!" The emperor also slapped his hand and slapped it.

Wanxi is like this, it seems like she is coaxing an unhappy child, so where is she talking to the sixty-one-year-old emperor?

But the emperor was even more useful. He could put down his airs as the emperor in private, or even laugh and scold, and talk about the joy and anger in his heart at will.

Yun Fu then blew his feet happily on the ground, "You are right. They are just small countries and few people. Those mats that we don't take seriously at all are really considered good things and can only leave a tribute. I'm afraid they can save a lot of money."

"You see, since we are not interested in it at first, and they are trying hard to save, then we both hit it off and tacitly believe it. We don't want it anymore. It shows the magnanimity of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom. Anyway, every time they pay tribute to the square goods, the emperor has to reward back ten times the good things. They offer less, so the emperor will save a lot of money with us!"

The emperor finally smiled and hugged Wanxi's shoulders cross-legged, "What a housewife, this little abacus is plucking loudly!"

Wanxi leaned on the emperor's shoulder and covered her face with a veil and smiled, "Only you can be careful when you are good at calculating, you are qualified to be a housewife!"

Wanxi has never taken it seriously to put it in the heart of what tribute and what position to divide it into others.

In this harem, only the emperor's heart is always the most important. With the emperor's heart, what's the best in this world? If you don't have the emperor's heart, you will be the queen, and what will you end up in the end?

If she had been in the harem for so many years, if she had to care about Goryeo's mats at this time, then she would have been in vain for decades in the harem; she would have vain for the emperor's thirty years of her wishes.

Goryeo, who had been tributed to Wanxi for several years, suddenly stopped tribute this year, and this incident caused a big and small storm in the harem.

People who are flirting in private inevitably say: Look, the emperor has no intention of appointing the imperial concubine as the queen.

People with sensible knowledge, such as Yuqin and Wanbin, also knew that even because of Jiuer's family background, they could not go further; but there would be no other person in this harem to become the queen. The emperor would rather hang in the central palace than to let another person stand at a higher position than Wanxi.

The emperor left only to Wanxi at the top of the harem.

All these comments in the harem, Yongchang, were relayed to the Empress Dowager when he was talking to the Empress Dowager in daily life.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but squint her eyes, "Oh? The Imperial Concubine is so confident?"

Yongchang lowered his head and smiled faintly, "I think the confidence of the Imperial Concubine was given by the emperor. Maybe the emperor had given such a promise in private. Only with such a clear mind in his heart could the Imperial Concubine dare to make such a noise."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sneer, "Who did she hear such a storm?!"

Yongchang turned his head, "Now all the ladies above the high rank of the harem are old, or they are already in love with the imperial concubine. If you talk about the exception, only Shunpin, who has just been promoted to the throne at the throne at the throne."

"If the imperial concubine wants to be on guard, it is naturally not our turn to be on low-ranking people. The imperial concubine can only be on guard against Shunpin."

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything. After a while, she suddenly turned her eyes and looked at Yongchangzai, "Ling Zhi, I remember you always spoke to the Imperial Concubine?"

Yongchang stood up in a hurry, "I dare not! I am in the palace, so naturally everything is based on the empress dowager, and the emperor's leader is the one who follows the emperor's horse. The empress dowager and the emperor both like the imperial concubine, otherwise she would not be able to live in the position of the imperial concubine, so I naturally have to follow the empress dowager and the emperor and be respectful to the imperial concubine."

The Empress Dowager snorted, "Don't say these useless things! I want to listen to your truth!"

Yongchang knelt down in a hurry, "I dare not hide it anymore because when I first came to the palace, I had everything protected by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager. I was like a little bird hiding under your wings, and I was not afraid of any wind and rain."

"But gradually, I found that the Empress Dowager did not like me as much as before. The Empress Dowager seemed to be getting more and more apart from me. I felt so uncomfortable that I was about to die."

Yongchang was sobbing, "I have tried my best to recall all the various questions I have asked in the past seven years since I entered the palace. I have always served the Empress Dowager with all my strength and dare not be careless."

Yongchang looked up at the Empress Dowager, "I thought of the last thing that may be the crux of the matter is that I often say good things to the imperial concubine in front of the empress dowager; I even intentionally or unintentionally conveyed the words that the empress dowager had said to the imperial concubine."

Yongchang was crying like rain, and walked forward, almost knocking his head to the toes of the empress dowager, "I know that I was wrong because I was young and ignorant, and I thought I was self-righteous, and took the imperial concubine too seriously, which angered the empress dowager, and went."

"I dare not do it anymore. I hope the Empress Dowager can give me another chance. I will always be a slave in the Empress Dowager's harem, and I will never turn my elbows out again."

The Empress Dowager sighed and reached out to caress the top of Yongchangzai's head.

"Lingzhi, you still know that I like you! Since you entered the palace, when and what have I not protected you? Even in front of the emperor, how many times have I said good things for you?"

"Lingzhi, I am in this regard for your Ama's sake. He has been in charge of my Changchun Garden for many years and has served me carefully in everything, so he asked me to form a friendship with him for decades. But things are up to people. Just relying on your Ama's kindness is not enough to support you for so many years. In the end, I still like Lingzhi's character!"

"Although you are also a woman with a surname in Han, your temperament is not like those Han people's hooves. You are more like our princess. You are so bold and cheerful, and you dare to speak and take responsibility. Do you remember if I like to call you Xiao Lajiao the most back then?"

I always stayed on the ground, crying bitterly, "How dare I forget me?"

The Empress Dowager sighed and sat upright, "But later, who thought that your temperament changed and you became like the Han girls in the palace. It was getting harder to think about it."

"Lingzhi, I am old and have no intention of moving those stingy people in the harem again. I am increasingly dislike those who always hide their words and deeds with me, making me unable to see clearly or guess thoroughly, and always go with me through my mind. I like the original Lingzhi, but if even your temperament becomes like that, and I have to guess at you in my palace every day, then I will be really impatient."

"I know you think I am biased towards Shunpin and Concubine Lan, because they are also from the Niuhulu family of my mother's family. But I tell you, if I were just because of their family background, then I would have moved you out of my palace and asked them to accompany me!

"I'm angry because they are still full of personalities. They are angry on their faces and never linger in their stomachs. They tell me not to be tired every day!"

Yongchang nodded sobbingly, "I understand that my nature is actually like Shunpin and Concubine Lan? I just wanted to protect myself after entering the palace, so I got too close to the imperial concubines, Concubine Qing, and the others who were also from the Han surname. I learned their nature without realizing it and became a person like them."

The Empress Dowager slapped the pillow in the greeting, "That's to say, just come here!"

Yongchang kowtowed on the ground, "I will never be able to keep my heart away again, and I will return to the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly, with one heart to the Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager sucked two puffs of cigarettes, and looked at Yongchangzai in the rising smoke.

"Now, the position of the queen has been lingering for too long in this harem. Even the vassal states used this as an excuse, and even the tribute waived the emperor's resignation was the only thing that the emperor must do. Lingzhi, in your opinion, who in this harem is most qualified to succeed the throne to the central palace?"

The heart that always stayed alive sank severely.

Who did the emperor ask to be the queen? Haha, what does this have to do with her!

Yongchang sneered in his heart: It’s not her turn to succeed anyone, anyway; who told her to be like the imperial concubine, to be a coat of clothes!

Those who are slaves can only serve as concubines and will never be a regular wife.

But Yongchang perfectly covered it on his face and did not reveal it at all.

She thought for a moment and immediately replied with a clear and clear voice, "Go back to the Empress Dowager, I think that among the ranks above the concubine, the youngest Shunpin is the most qualified and hopeful!"

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Ling Zhi, do you really think so?"

Yongchang kowtowed, "It's just that Shunpin's entry into the palace is still a short time, and his qualifications in this harem are naturally at a disadvantage. Therefore, he is not the opponent of the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Qing for a while. Shunpin needs someone to help him."

The Empress Dowager stared at Yongchangzai quietly, "According to you, in this harem, who can Shunpin choose to be her helper?"

Yongchang immediately replied, "The most suitable one was that Concubine Lan was just Concubine Lan who had not been favored by the emperor for so many years. I was worried that Concubine Lan still had no idea about the way, so I could help Concubine Shun, because I was afraid that Concubine Lan would not be Concubine Lan."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were half-hung, "If even Concubine Lan is not good, then who else can be seen by you?"

Yongchang looked up immediately and said firmly, "I am willing to work hard for Empress Shunpin! But I have been in the palace for seven years, and now I have fallen from a noble person to a permanent position. Even if I have the intention, I can't help Empress Shunpin's ability.

"Under this plan, Empress Shun needs a more powerful helper, but I think there is a suitable candidate in the position of concubine."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, "Who?"

Yongchang said, "Of course, the first choice is Empress Shufei! Empress Shufei was originally favored by the Empress Dowager. She was also the Bele of the Manchu Yehe tribe. She was a noble person and had been in the palace for many years. She had been with the Imperial Concubine for a long time, so she would definitely be able to help Empress Shun's best."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "She, like you two years ago, she was so destined to be with me and ran to the Han people!"

Yongchang smiled with his head in his head, "I heard that Shu Fei and the Imperial Concubine turned war into jade. The most important medium was that the Eleventh Prince transferred the Eleventh Prince to Shu Fei to raise him."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "That's true."

Yongchang drooped his eyes, "But now, the Eleventh Prince has gone to the crisis. This time, the Imperial Concubine did not help the Imperial Concubine for her children, and finally stood by and watched the Eleventh Prince."

After Yongchang finished speaking, he told the emperor that the Eighth Prince and the Fourth Prince were successively ordered by the emperor, and in the middle he also told the Empress Dowager in detail about the eleventh Prince Yongyan.

The Empress Dowager was also shocked. She didn't even know about these things.

She understood that the emperor's son's reason was naturally not to ask her to know, so as not to get angry afterwards.

The Empress Dowager was a little unhappy, recalling the fact that her son had blocked her Changchun Garden in recent years.

Since Nara's death, she has painted a prison in Changchun Garden, and often she doesn't know what happened in the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City. Her son would say that she is old and should not worry about it anymore; but she felt that her son was still distracted from her.

She couldn't escape all the worries of being a mother-in-law: she was most afraid of the separation between her son and herself, which was the wind on her side of her daughter-in-law.

"According to this point, I'm afraid that the imperial concubine was instigated again! The emperors must be scolded by the emperor one by one, just to make her own son stable!"

The Empress Dowager likes the two grandchildren, Xiao Shiwu and Xiao Shiqi. However, as mother-in-law, she likes the grandchildren, but not necessarily likes the daughter-in-law.

Yongchang said, "At this time, the Empress Dowager only needs to help the Eleventh Prince to save the Eleventh Prince. Then, with the wisdom of Concubine Shu, you will definitely feel your wishes."

The Empress Dowager finally smiled slowly, "Ling Zhi, you have indeed grown up. After seven years of entering the palace, you have finally finished the detours of the first time."

After leaving the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Guanlan will always walk towards his bedroom.

Guan Lan asked carefully, "Why did your master go with that Shunpin today? Why did your master feel so wronged?"

"Besides, if something happened to Zhang De this time, Yinu looked at it. I was afraid that it was all arranged by Shunpin and Guiren Lan, so I waited for Zhang De to get in and get in. Then I could catch the master with a handle!"

"Well," Yongchang nodded, "They two have succeeded. Haven't I been demoted to Chang's position by the emperor? My current situation is almost equal to the experience of being promoted, relegated, and relegated again and again. From then on, I have no right to laugh at her, and this is what she wants."

"The most important thing for me now is to quickly restore the position of noble people who have lost their position. In this harem, only noble people or above are the main position; if I am not even noble people, what future will I have?"

Yongchang looked up at the sky, "The Imperial Concubine refused to help me, and I don't have the emperor's favor, so the only one I can rely on is the Empress Dowager. As long as the Empress Dowager can be good to me again, then I can't do anything! Even if I want to work hard for Shunpin, I can grit my teeth and endure it!"

After Yongchang finished speaking, he was silent for a while and sighed deeply again.

"Besides, no matter how unacceptable I am to the Concubine, I can't change my own family background. No matter how high my official position is, my mother's family is also born in the Cougar family. Have you ever seen the queen of our Qing Dynasty who was born in the Cougar family?"

Guanlan shook his head, "Of course not."

"That's right," Yongchang walked forward lonely, "After all, the position of queen is destined to be without me forever. The highest level I may reach in the future is what the imperial concubine looks like now.

"Since I understand this, why should I stop Shunpin from continuing to advance to the throne? I can't stop it after all. If I insist on stopping it, I will cut off all my relationship with the Empress Dowager, and then I will be really stupid."

"I changed my mind. From the day I decided to compete for favor with the Imperial Concubine, I no longer regard Shunpin as my biggest enemy. I can even help Shunpin, ask her to rise up and become the opponent of the Imperial Concubine!"

Yongchang looked at the flowers and trees beside him, "This harem should not be the world of one person. Only by having colorful flowers and blooming flowers can we find gaps and capture our own opportunities."
