The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Yan Cairen stuffed two silver ingots into the young eunuch's hand.

This is the funds for him to scout for information.

The little eunuch complained incessantly, he was just an ordinary eunuch with no power and influence, and his contacts were limited, how could he get news from Yunxiu Palace?

Everyone knows that Yunxiu Palace is the domain of noble concubines, and the emperor spends the night there almost every day. The entire Yunxiu Palace is well-maintained, like an airtight iron bucket.

When the Empress Dowager was still in the palace, it was difficult to reach into Yunxiu Palace, let alone a little eunuch like him.

But Yan Cairen had already spoken, and as a slave, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only bite the bullet and answer.

"Here, the servant will do it now."

The little eunuch racked his brains to find out the news carefully, but he still couldn't hide it from other people in the palace.

This incident was quickly heard by Cao Nuo.

Cao Nuo has been serving the emperor for a long time. He knows how much the emperor attaches importance to the noble concubine, so he has always wanted to sell the noble concubine.

But he is very sensible, knowing that the imperial concubine obviously trusts Eunuch Chang more than himself.

If he bypassed Eunuch Chang and went directly to Concubine Gui to report the letter, not to mention what Eunuch Chang would think in his heart, Concubine Gui would not necessarily take what he said to heart.

So Cao Nuo went to Yunxiu Palace in person.

The gate of Yunxiu Palace was still closed, and Cao Nuo waited at the gate for a while before Eunuch Chang came out.

Cao Nuo has already noticed that the level of security in Yunxiu Palace today is much higher than usual, but he has always been aware of current affairs and knows that the last thing that should be in this harem is curiosity.

So he didn't ask a single word, and directly told Eunuch Chang what he had learned.

After Eunuch Chang finished listening, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yan Cairen is living so comfortably."

Cao Nuo said in a low voice: "I've sent an order to ensure that Yan Cairen won't find any useful information."

Eunuch Chang laughed, and slowly said in a clear tone: "Don't worry, the imperial concubine will remember your favor."

After receiving this promise, Cao Nuo immediately felt confident.

He also laughed: "It's my honor to be able to do things for the imperial concubine, I dare not talk about favors."

The earth dragon in the bedroom was burning very vigorously, and the heating was smooth.

Xiao Xixi sat beside the bed, looking at the unconscious Luo Qinghan in a daze.

Eunuch Chang stood at the door and saluted.

"The servant pays homage to the imperial concubine."

Xiao Xixi came back to her senses and turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

Eunuch Chang: "Cao Nuo came to report just now, saying that Yan Cairen was quietly inquiring about things in Yunxiu Palace."

Xiao Xixi: "Find her something to do, don't let her be too idle."

Eunuch Chang: "Now Wanhai City is fighting with the Thousand Islands, and Nanyue's battle is not over yet, and the supplies for war preparations are relatively tight, especially the supplies for winter protection.

How about asking Yan Cairen to help make some padded jackets and quilts for the border soldiers?

Although doing so is only a drop in the bucket, at least it can set an example for the people of the world, and it can also make border officers and soldiers feel the care from their homeland. "

Xiao Xixi thought about it for a while: "Since we need to support the border, we can't rely on only one strict and talented person. Let other concubines in the palace also make quilted jackets and bedding together. Before the New Year, each person must finish at least one hundred sets of cotton jackets and ten beds There is a reward for the quilt when you finish it."

The high-ranking concubines in the palace are basically gone, and now the rest are low-ranking concubines like Yan Cairen.

Although they can't make big waves, if they let them go, they may cause some troubles.

It's okay on weekdays, and others can push them down without Xixi's hand.

But now is a special period, the emperor is sleepy, this news must be kept under wraps, the palace can't stand the slightest disturbance.

Xiao Xixi finds something for them to do, and diverts their attention, lest they be idle and think about things like Yan Cairen.

In the evening of that day, the concubines in the palace received orders from the concubine to make padded jackets and quilts for the border guards with their own hands, and there were still requirements for the quantity.

Yan Cairen was originally waiting for the little eunuch to inquire about the changes in Yunxiu Palace.

Unexpectedly, such a bad news came.

One hundred sets of padded jackets and thirty beds of quilts, this amount is really too difficult for a weak woman like her who does not touch the spring water.

Yan Cairen asked cautiously: "What if you can't complete the amount requested by the imperial concubine?"

Cao Nuo smiled slightly: "Then keep doing it, and you can't go out until you complete the number required by the imperial concubine."

Yan Cairen was stunned.

Isn't this equivalent to putting her under house arrest in disguise? !

She was very angry in her heart, but she dared not show it on her face.

With the last glimmer of hope, she asked cautiously.

"Does the emperor know about this?"

Cao Nuo asked instead, "What do you think?"

Yan Cairen choked, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

It is impossible for the emperor not to know about such a big matter.

Since the emperor knew about it and didn't stop it, it means that the emperor only supported the noble concubine.

Yan Cairen had nothing to say, and watched Cao Nuo leave helplessly.

As soon as the person left, Yan Cairen immediately lowered his face, tightly gripping the veil with his fingers, the jealousy in his eyes was so strong that it almost overflowed.

To actually let the emperor's concubines make clothes and bedding for the lowly-born soldiers at the border, it is humiliating these concubines!

The imperial concubine is simply messing around!

But the emperor tolerated the concubine's nonsense.

In the eyes of the emperor, only the noble concubine can be seen.

As long as the imperial concubine is alive, the emperor cannot notice other women!

Although the concubines in other palaces were surprised by the sudden decision of the noble concubine, they did not have as much resentment as Yan Cairen.

Anyway, the emperor usually would not call them, they were idle, and it would be good to find something to pass the time, and the imperial concubine said that there would be a reward for completing the task, so they really wanted to know what kind of reward they could get?

All the concubines in the palace began to get busy because of the imperial concubine's order.

At this time, the imperial concubine was also very busy.

She is busy reviewing the memorial.

The emperor was sleepy and unable to go to the court, but the memorial had to be approved, otherwise the courtiers would know immediately that something happened to the emperor.

In the end, Xiao Xixi had no choice but to imitate Luo Qinghan's handwriting to review the memorial.

Fortunately, Luo Qinghan's review style is the same as his own personality, they are concise and clear, cherishing words like gold.

In most cases, she only needs to draw a red circle at the end of the memorial, and then stamp the jade seal on it. This means that the emperor has approved it, and the three provinces and six departments can follow the content in the memorial.

There are also a small number of memorials that cannot be passed directly.

These memorials are further divided into two categories -

The first category is to directly reject and not approve. Xiao Xixi needs to imitate the emperor's handwriting and write a "no" with a vermilion pen.

The other category is that further discussions are needed, which is more troublesome. The emperor needs to write down specific opinions, at least a dozen words, or even hundreds of words if there are more.
