Chapter 262 Don’t say it, I don’t want to hear it
The master didn't have much monthly salary, and every month after rewarding his servants he would save some by living frugally before he could afford to buy some gold thread, hoping to make a more exquisite and luxurious embroidery and sell it for a good price. Baojuan knew all this.
The silver in An Lingrong's hands was managed in two parts. One was the monthly allowance issued by the Palace Household Department, which was the visible money and had always been managed by Baojuan. The other was the money that Miss Sun from the palace asked Songzhi to send to the Yanx Palace, which had always been managed by Baoque and Baojuan was unaware of it.
So Baojuan always knew that An Lingrong didn't have much money, but she was quite generous to them, the servants. So she thought it was normal that An Lingrong was only concerned with making money by doing embroidery and didn't know how to compete for favor.
"Okay, go and sort out those threads. I'll need them tomorrow."
An Lingrong would sit in front of the embroidery frame for an hour every day to do embroidery, so An Lingrong has always had a high demand for embroidery thread.
Hua Fei had heard Zhou Ninghai report on the daily activities of the three masters in Yanx Palace before, and she was speechless when she heard the part about An Lingrong.
In the morning, she would first get up and pay her respects to the Jingren Palace. After coming back, she would have breakfast which would take about an incense stick of time. Then she would sit in front of the embroidery frame and embroider for an hour. Then she would look at the sky and the earth and stretch her body in the courtyard of the Yanxi Palace, which would take about an incense stick of time.
Then before lunch, he read medical books for more than half an hour, and took notes with a small notebook and a small brush while reading.
"After lunch, Miss An will take a nap for half an hour, and then she will start mixing spices. Baoque usually serves her while Baojuan goes to the room to divide the silk threads that Miss An used in the morning. After mixing the spices, Miss An will compare several recipes and burn the ones she is not satisfied with."
When Zhou Ninghai reported on An Lingrong's daily life, he would usually read from a small notebook. Concubine Hua watched Zhou Ninghai turn another page of the notebook while eating melon seeds, but he hadn't finished reading yet.
"Ms. An seems to be not mixing spices recently, but seems to be making rouge, so the bottles and jars in the room are a bit messy. After doing some research in the room, Ms. An will go to Noble Lady Fucha's palace to exchange research experience with Noble Lady Fucha."
"Then it's time for dinner..." Zhou Ninghai was still describing the assembly line operations.
"How many pages are left to read?"
"And, wait a minute, Madam." Zhou Ninghai twisted the footer, "Not much left, two more pages. After dinner, Miss An usually writes a diary to record what she has learned and gained today..."
Zhou Ninghai continued to talk. Songzhi looked at Concubine Hua's increasingly stiff expression and tried desperately to wink at Zhou Ninghai, asking him to shut up, but Zhou Ninghai seemed not to see it.
"Forget it, stop talking. I don't want to hear it." Concubine Hua pushed away the plate of melon seeds in front of her with no expression.
It seems that everyone in the palace, except An Lingrong, is wasting their lives.
Why do some people know their lives in such detail that they know exactly what to do at every hour?
Hua Fei was overwhelmed by what she heard.
So what's the point of her lying down all day?
What's the big deal about Concubine Qi playing mahjong all night long?
So there was a reason why An Lingrong was unwilling to sleep with the emperor. This kind of card-turning that was not in her plan would only disrupt her rhythm and drive her crazy.
That's why An Lingrong would occasionally take the initiative to look for the emperor, because it was part of her play.
Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to step down, and there was no need to report the details of the daily accounts of the Yanx Palace in the future.
She was afraid that if she heard it two more times, she would feel ashamed for having worked so hard to be reborn and wasted her life.
Fortunately, there is Chun Changzai to comfort her, and Chun Changzai's daily life becomes much simpler.
Chun Chang had eight soup dumplings and two bowls of rice porridge in the morning, then went to the Imperial Garden to fly a kite. After coming back, he had a plate of milk-flavored snacks before lunch. After lunch, he took a nap for an hour and a half. When he woke up, he felt a little hungry, so he drank a cup of milk tea.
Then it was time for dinner. After dinner, Chun Changzai would usually grab the little palace maid to play with pig bones, or go to Changchun Palace to keep Concubine Qi company.
Of course, occasionally, just by chance, and by chance, Chun Changzai would go to Sui Yuxuan to visit Zhen Huan after the emperor went to Sui Yuxuan.
Except for the last sentence, Concubine Hua still agrees with Concubine Chun's overall lifestyle.
Before Zhou Ninghai left, Concubine Hua asked one more question: How is Qixiang Palace?
Zhou Ninghai said that Lipin took good care of Ling Xiang and seemed to be looking forward to the baby in Ling's belly. In addition, the baby in Ling's belly was fine.
Everything is normal. It seems the queen has a trick up her sleeve.
"Go down and keep watching." Hua Fei asked Zhou Ninghai to retreat, changed her position and continued to lie down, picking up the notebook again.
-------------------------------------
Broken Yuxuan.
While Zhen Huan was taking a nap, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone sitting next to her. The person walked in from outside, basking in the spring sunshine, but there was a lingering aura of depression around him.
Zhen Huan felt that there was smoke in her dream, and she could no longer see the direction of the road clearly. She walked faster and faster, and suddenly sat up from the bed.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was the emperor standing by the bed, looking at her.
"Your Majesty?" After not seeing each other for a long time, Zhen Huan leaned on the emperor's shoulder to absorb the warmth. "Your Majesty is here, why didn't you wake me up?"
"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I couldn't bear to wake you up." The emperor stroked Zhen Huan's black satin hair. "Before we went to Henan, Fu Cha Guiren had that incident. Huan Huan, when we were outside, I was really worried, worried about our child."
"Don't worry, Silang. Isn't Huanhuan fine now?" Zhen Huan didn't understand why the emperor suddenly brought up something that happened a long time ago.
"When I returned to the palace today, the Queen told me that it was Xiao Tang from the laundry department who poisoned Noble Lady Fucha. A small servant in the laundry department actually dared to murder the royal heir." The Emperor remembered that morning the Queen tried to use a little eunuch to get the job done by him.
Since this concerns the royal heir, how could a small eunuch possibly do it alone?
Xiao Tang from the laundry department, Sang'er who hanged himself, and the unexplained discord between the Queen Mother and the Empress, the Emperor subconsciously always put these irrelevant things aside and did not want to connect them together.
"Then Your Majesty, do you want to continue investigating?" Zhen Huan asked. This was also Zhen Huan's way of testing the Emperor's attitude.
"Now that the Queen has investigated the matter thoroughly, this matter will naturally end here. But Huanhuan, I will not allow anyone else to have any problems with your child." The Emperor stared into Zhen Huan's eyes and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, my concubine and my children both believe in you." Zhen Huan held the emperor's hand and said to herself, I can trust him, I can trust him just this once.
"Are you tired from reviewing the memorials, Silang? You can take a rest here with me. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and we have to go to the Queen's palace later."
"I'm not going anywhere today. I'm just staying with you."
