Chapter 524
Eunuch Xu felt a little bitter, but he could not help but laughed, "Look at what you always say, wouldn't it be a disaster for us juniors? Just go and report to the Empress."
"Well, then I'll take the person away."
"Eunuch Xu, please help me bring the gift to Concubine Li. I will personally apologize in the next day."
Zi Lan smiled again and asked someone to give him a gift. The eunuch in front of Eunuch Xu took it over.
"Sa family will definitely report."
Eunuch Xu took the people away.
Madam Li snorted coldly after watching the person leave, "Things without bones are not afraid of the strong wind flashing your little waist."
After spitting, he came back to his senses and pulled Zilan with a smile, "I'm sorry for you. When the Queen Mother got the news, let me guard here. I'll take you over and talk."
"I asked the Empress Dowager to worry. It was my fault. I brought some monkey wine to the Empress Dowager and some medicine stickers for you. Is it okay for your rheumatoid legs to use?"
Zilan greeted me kindly.
"Okay, your medicine is very good. I have your help. Let's go to see the Queen Mother, don't be afraid."
Madam Li pulled Zilan and headed towards Cining Palace.
The two arrived at the bedroom a little late. As soon as they entered the main hall, they found that Concubine Li had already rushed over after getting the words of Eunuch Xu.
At this time, he was kneeling on the ground to apologize. For the sake of the tenth prince, he left some face for her, so that she could kneel inside but not at the gate.
Zi Lan glanced at Madam Li, and the corner of her mouth lit up and smiled silently, her eyes full of disdain.
Chao Zilan signaled to follow him in to pay tribute.
Zi Lan lowered her head and did not dare to look at her face without expression, and she did not dare to float around. She went in and paid a visit.
"My wife Cui pays me a blessing to the Queen Mother and wishes the Queen Mother good health."
"Good boy, get up quickly and give him a seat."
The Empress Dowager saw Zi Lan smile and gave her enough face.
"Thank you, the Queen Mother, I miss you all. I brought you the monkey wine I made and the fat and powder I made myself. Do you want to try it if it is useful? I have to praise me."
"Hahaha! You little monkey will coax people. I heard Lao Liu say that you might have done a lot, and you hit him with a slap."
"Look at whether you are biased or not, you are your own grandson. That was what he voluntarily gave to me.
It’s not for me but for the emperor’s worries, but for my son to be filial to his father. I’m just a manager who has turned his hand. I didn’t make any noise. I’m innocent.”
Zi Lan wisely understood that the Empress Dowager's move was to criticize Concubine Li's knowledge of her duty, so she naturally had to hand over the talk.
The Empress Dowager raised her head and laughed, "You little monkey are so weird. You have to say everything, but the Ai family has nothing to say."
"What the wife said is the truth. You can't just be partial to your grandson."
Zilan pointed out the word "grandson" again, hoping that Concubine Li could understand the Queen Mother's intention.
The Empress Dowager said happily, "How much has Lao Liu given me? Is there any bad debt? Alas! I understand that it is not easy for all relatives and Ai's family, but it is even more difficult for the Emperor. We should not help you, and we should not drag you down."
"What you said is that the Sixth Prince gave 200,000 taels, which was enough to fill in the bad debts of foreigners, only a lot."
Zi Lan answered truthfully.
"Well, that's good. It's better for them to understand in their hearts. Don't blame them. If you can use it, use it. If you can't use it, you can give me a face."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt much more happy and was willing to help say something good, otherwise she would not be able to talk.
"Yes, I actually did a good job and had a good level of quality. But after a long time, I need to hit it.
The master of the following may not know very well, and he cannot blame the family all, and it is not easy for men to come to the palace to disturb him every day."
Zilan also needs to help explain a few sentences to save face for the empress dowager.
"You are very saying: I must throw away what cannot be used, and I must beat hard if I can use it. If I am wrong, I am wrong and I cannot tolerate it. No one has to see his face.
It’s just that my Lin family is going to get a fight, and if you don’t listen to advice, just come to Ai’s family.”
The Queen Mother changed her tone and her tone immediately became tough, and her face was full of majesty.
"yes."
Zi Lan immediately knelt down again to respond.
"Well, you can hurry up and retreat."
"yes."
Zi Lan then retreated, secretly glanced at Concubine Li, and was still kneeling, without even a cushion. She was already a little shaky and didn't dare to stay too late.
After leaving the hall, Zi Lan knew that she had walked away, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat. She almost got into the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Obviously, the Queen Mother didn't like Concubine Li, so she found an opportunity to beat her up.
After leaving Gong Changshu, he saw Mr. Cui and Cui Hao and Cui Yu waiting for her in front of the carriage.
She felt warm in her heart, carrying her skirt and stepped forward, and a bright smile appeared, "Grandfather, father-in-law, husband, why are you here? I'm fine. The Queen Mother asked me to say a few words and treat me very kindly and safeguard me."
Where can I talk nonsense at the gate of the palace? Everyone will understand after clicking this sentence.
"Yeah, go home."
Mr. Cui then nodded with a relaxed face.
After returning home, Zilan changed into a common clothes and took off her phoenix crown before returning to the main hall to speak.
"What's the matter with you, Concubine Li?"
Mr. Cui was not very happy with a stern face.
Zi Lan shook her head, "I didn't talk to Concubine Li. When I entered the palace, I was intercepted by Madam Li in front of the empress dowager. I went directly to Cining Palace. When we arrived, Concubine Li was already kneeling in the main hall."
Next, she said something she said to the Queen Mother in a good way.
Cui Yu nodded, "Dad, Brother Hao's wife is still dealing with it well. But this dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law almost involved her."
"Well, it doesn't matter. The Empress Dowager understands that she just borrowed Lan'er's hand to hit Concubine Li. Don't worry, the Du family will send someone to deliver the silver notes soon."
Mr. Cui was holding Jizhu and smiled confidently.
"That's right, the Du family's foundation is a little weak after all, and his family has no intention of fighting for the throne. They just hope that the tenth prince will be the prince, and they dare not offend the emperor and the queen mother for the sake of the tenth prince."
Cui Yu also smiled and nodded.
"Can his family take it out? I've been greedy for a lot, 380,000 taels."
"That's his family's business. The merchants who benefited from it will have to pay most of them, otherwise they will have to land. Are you planning to change the Du family?" Cui Rongye asked Zilan.
She shook her head, "Actually, I don't plan to replace all the people, and I will leave some capable people, but I will compete with my people and check and balance each other.
Replacing them rashly may lead to insufficient supply in the harem. If you don’t understand the specific context, you can’t take such risks. If they unite, we will have trouble."
The treasurer mainly supplies food, clothing, housing and transportation in the harem. After all, these people are old and familiar with everything. If you kill them all in one go, it seems drastic to replace them with your own people, but it may not work.
If you leave the old fried dough sticks, the novice may not be able to take them down. It will affect the cost of the emperor, the queen mother and the harem, and will affect everyone's interests and will overturn you.
