After all, he was a concubine who gave birth to a prince. Although he did not have the title of a concubine, the rules of the palace garden were actually comparable to those of the imperial concubine.
There are 11 deacons in the Yellow Gate, 13 palace maids, and 9 eunuchs or servants.
The palace is wide, with three fronts and backs. There is also a side courtyard, which is carved beams and painted buildings and elegantly arranged.
The daily expenses of the palace concubines are provided by the provincial eunuchs, but this is only a regulation and the minimum quota. If you want to live a better life, the palace concubines have to pay out of their own pockets or reward them by the government, so many palace concubines often use their own
The deacon and eunuch went out of the palace to buy supplies.
These are all unspoken rules.
Concubine Wei’s side is the most comfortable place Wang Lin has been walking through this trip.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs gathered in the palace garden, and Wang Lin stood on the bluestone steps at the door of Wei Fei's bedroom, with a solemn expression.
This group of people in the palace were uneasy when he touched them. I wonder if this prince of Bohai, who was ordered to inspect the harem, was said to be decisive and ruthless in killing and ruthless, would cause trouble for them.
In fact, Wang Lin just wanted to find out if there was any fake eunuch found in Zhou's family.
Concubine Wei is Zhao Gou's mother. He doesn't want Concubine Wei to make such a low-level mistake, which will implicate Zhao Gou.
As for the concubine next to him, he was too lazy to care about it.
Since you are brave and not afraid of death and are willing to support you, then just be at will.
But to be honest, there is no clue on the surface alone. The reason why Gong Li was discovered through was mainly because he was guilty and exposed too many flaws.
A palace guard presented a stack of accounts with respect. Concubine Wei's beautiful eyes flashed and suddenly smiled: "If you want to check the accounts, go into the palace. It's so cold outside. Come and see the tea for the Prince of Bohai.
!”
Wei Feiying turned around and made a gesture of letting her go.
When Wang Lin saw the moment she turned around, he turned his hand lightly, revealing a green jade pendant. He nodded and walked into the hall without hesitation.
This jade pendant was bought by him last time, so he naturally knew at a glance that Concubine Wei was looking for Zhao Fujin and wanted to let him show mercy.
The palace maid brought in a cup of fragrant tea.
"Prince of the County, please sit down, have a cup of tea first." Concubine Wei's eyes flashed, not knowing whether Wang Lin saw her hint.
Wang Lin sat down with a smile, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one go.
Concubine Wei tentatively said: "Will the prince of the county inspect the harem today? "
Wang Lin glanced at him and saw that Concubine Wei's palace maids and eunuchs did not follow him into the hall. It was obvious that she had already made arrangements, so she chuckled and said, "Shang Ke, Zhou Jizi and Zhou Xuan's filthy harem case has been basically found out. In two days
, After I will inspect the harem as a whole according to the official's will, you will be able to make a contribution."
Concubine Wei smiled and said, "The Zhou family is really a crime... Don't worry, I won't talk about servants here, even if I am in good manner, there will be no mistakes. Just check it.
.”
"I've told Maode today, you said that you are not satisfied with each other! It's not enough that the official gave me favor? In this palace, people are serving you with rich clothes and food, food, clothing and expenses. I still want to
What's wrong?"
Wang Lin said with a oh, and suddenly said softly: "I have to obey the official edict, but I also know that in this deep palace, it will be quite difficult to bear... If there is some inconvenience in Empress Wei, you can go early
Tell me, I can take care of you, right?"
Wang Lin's meaningful gaze fell on Concubine Wei. Seeing her graceful figure and picturesque eyebrows, she sat there with her own charm, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Concubine Wei was a little red when he saw it. After all, she was still a little guilty, so she calmed down and tentatively said: "The prince of the county knows that concubines like me, the official favor has long been gone, and she has given birth to nine people since then.
After the prince, the official family has never lived in this palace. Life has been a bit difficult over the years..."
Wang Lin nodded as if he was smiling: "I understand..."
Concubine Wei's heart trembled, and looked at Wang Lin with bright eyes, thinking: "He understands? Did he have discovered that I have a business outside the palace and have bought some industries? Could it be that someone exposed it..."
Concubine Wei couldn't help but lower her head and said quietly: "So please understand the prince of the county. There is really no way to do this. If it were not forbidden, I wouldn't have taken such a risk. Actually, I..."
Concubine Wei wanted to defend her for a few more words, but Wang Lin said: "I understand the difficulties of the Empress. After all, it has been more than ten years, and people have seven emotions and six desires, so it is normal that they can't help it."
Concubine Wei was stunned and then blushed. She looked up at Wang Lin and her chest rolled. She felt strange when she saw Wang Lin. She couldn't help but think of the Lin family who was collected in Yanggu County.
He quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, coughed and lowered his voice, "But this is the palace after all, there are too many people and many secret things will be exposed one day, so I advise the Empress to stop in time so as not to be with you
A few fake eunuchs were found here... It will be difficult to end by then."
Concubine Wei's cheeks were flying, and she almost fainted from shame and anger.
She trembled: "What are you talking about?"
Wang Lin sighed: "My lady, please don't be lucky. I have found out from Zhou's side... There are fake castration hidden beside her. You should have it around you, and it should be handled in time."
Concubine Wei was extremely embarrassed and angry, covering her face with her hands and trembling all over.
"I will help you cover up and deal with it as soon as possible, the sooner the better."
Wang Lin got up and walked out of the bedroom. After all, he was alone and talked with the emperor and concubines for too long, otherwise he would not know if rumors would be spread.
"I passed on my order to collect the accounts and properties of the Empress Wei Palace and other palaces and other palaces to our mansion. At the same time, the provincial eunuch will check the palaces to see if the characters match and report to me at any time.
”
After Wang Lin finished the arrangement, he glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids who were gathered in the courtyard and left.
Concubine Wei leaned on the door post of the bedroom, looking at Wang Lin's elegant back as he was leaving, feeling ashamed and angry.
But I was immediately a little frightened. The palace concubines contacted outsiders to buy industries, but not many people like her should have a considerable family business.
If Wang Lin had been brought out to the official house, she would probably not have any death, but the family money she had accumulated for ten years would not be able to be saved.
Soon, Zhao Fujin took Yan Cui and Mu Lan into the palace. Seeing Concubine Wei standing alone in the courtyard, her expression changed and worried. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Auntie, what are you thinking? King... Where is the Prince of Bohai?
Leaving?"
"He left the palace, Maode, he took away all the accounts of this palace." Wei Fei said quietly.
"After the Minister of Eunuchs, he must check all the accounts of the palace. After all, his father has his own destiny, and he is not easy to check."
"Auntie, don't worry, what can you do if you have some industries outside the palace? He knows it in his mind and will not involve innocent people."
Zhao Fujin originally wanted to have a chance encounter with Wang Lin, but he was a little disappointed if he didn't meet.
Concubine Wei sighed: "Maode, I don't hide it from you. There is nothing in the account book, but there are some things that are coming and going in and out. With Wang Lin's cleverness, I can tell that I'm afraid..."
After saying this, Zhao Fujin guessed a few points and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I think it's normal for you to work with your family to do some business together, but if you have any contact with foreign ministers... I'm afraid
The father will sue him, and even take his anger on his ninth brother."
Concubine Wei's pretty face turned pale little by little. She grabbed Zhao Fujin's hand and choked and said, "Maode, you want to save me! Anyway, the official family has not entered my palace for more than ten years, so I have no choice but to be sent to the cold palace.
The difference, but your ninth brother, he is only 12 years old, he..."
Zhao Fujin's face turned solemn: "Auntie, you have to tell me the truth!"
Concubine Wei trembled and said, "General Left Guard, Li Congyou."
Zhao Fujin looked shocked: "You and him?"
Concubine Wei's face turned red and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Maode, it's not what you think. I was introduced to the Duan Prince's Mansion by Li Cong, and since then I have been favored by the official family. Until today, I have swear to the sky and have no choice but to him.
What's wrong!"
"But he does manage some business under the banner of Gouer, and he will give me a dividend of 150,000 to 60,000 yuan a year..."
Zhao Fujin said, "So many?"
"Auntie, you are so confused! The ninth brother is the prince, and he has been granted the title of prince. Once he uses the position, he has his own support from the court. Why do you have to connect with foreign ministers? He also does business as a merchant under the name of the ninth brother, ten years ago
If you have a dividend of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, wouldn’t Li Congyou get more? If you know the huge profits, you will be afraid of a serious crime of ill-gotten plots."
Concubine Wei was dismal: "Maode, save me and save me. Your ninth brother has always been respectful to you..."
Zhao Fujin's tender and innocent face appeared in front of Zhao Gou, and sighed: "This matter is confidential and cannot be entrusted to outsiders, but I and Linlang are not suitable for meeting recently. If you can find a way to leave the palace, you should go to him.
I went to see him at home, and my ninth brother is his student, so I don’t think he would ignore it.”
"If you really can't get out, I have a way." Zhao Fujin whispered in Wei's ear.
...
Bohai County Prince's Mansion.
While listening to Yan Qing's return to the situation in the capital, Wang Lin casually read the relevant documents sent by Huang Kun. He saw that Zhao Ji had 143 concubines and female officials with titles, and as many as 504 palace maids without titles. He was so impressed that he was impressed.
One a day, and it takes more than two years to pass it.
Stallions are not as big as well.
The books and items in the hall were piled up in a mountain. Yan Qing saw it a little overwhelmed and said, "Prince, can you find a few accountants to help check the accounts?"
Wang Lin chuckled and shook his head: "No, it's related to the palace, I'll come by myself."
Yan Qing smiled bitterly: "When will we find out? When will we be able to leave Beijing?"
"Don't worry, wait for another three or five days. I have to at least watch the beasts surrender. You go first and send orders. I will check the accounts in the closed door and not see the guests. Except for Li Xiang, Wu Xiang and the palace.
No one is seen outside of the person.”
"Isn't even the Han family seen?"
Wang Lin nodded: "No."
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
Yan Qing retreated, and Wang Lin immediately put the account book and documents in his hand aside, clapped his hands and went to the study room.
He adjusted the account book and made a move out of the palace, but he was just bluffing and leading the snake out of the hole. He never wanted to actually investigate it.
If there is someone who is not eyebrow, he will hold two rabbits with his hand and hand over Zhao Ji.
It was late at night and Wang Lin was about to go to bed, but Yan Qing handed in a jade pendant.
Is it her? She came out of the palace late at night to visit, did she really raise a couple?
I'll go, Zhao Gou, your mother is not worried at all.
