Guo Wanrou's words pierced Leng Changxi's heart like a thorn, making her feel uneasy: "Brother Yuan, tell me, what does she mean by this?"
"Don't think too much, she just wants to make you angry." Zhao Yuan gently rubbed Leng Changxi's hair and said with a hint of endearment: "You just entered the palace and you offended her.
If you take over the Guo family, be careful in the future! The Guo family has a lot of power in the palace."
Leng Changxi stuck out her tongue and nodded gently, but she didn't see Zhao Yuan look back at Guo Wanrou's back thoughtfully.
Leng Changxi followed Zhao Yuan to the Wende Palace. Lingshan Lingfeng and the other four had been waiting at the entrance of the palace for a long time. Seeing that the two of them came back safely, they all breathed a long sigh of relief. Eunuch Li was a person close to the emperor, and the emperor
Before they had time to return to Wende Palace to tidy up their appearance, summoning the two of them so suddenly made everyone have a bad feeling in their hearts, fearing that the drama of Shang Zhou imprisoning Ji Fa would really be staged.
Leng Changxi saw Lingshan's anxious look and was about to comfort her with a few words. Unexpectedly, the other party said: "Miss, you didn't do anything rude, did you?"
Suddenly, the corners of Leng Changxi's eyes twitched slightly, and her enthusiastic face suddenly turned cold. She rolled her eyes at Lingshan fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "In your heart, are you only worried about whether I am rude?"
Hearing this, Lingshan suddenly felt that he was indeed being unkind, so he touched his nose and murmured: "Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Leng Changxi narrowed her eyes: "It's just that the dog barked twice on the way."
Leng Changxi's words made everyone a little confused. Zhao Yuan smelled the sour taste in her heart and explained with a smile: "I met Guo Wanrou on the road."
Immediately, everyone was silent, and everything was in silence.
Perhaps she had already heard that the master of the palace was coming back soon, so the palace was kept spotless, but even so, Leng Changxi could still see the mottled spots carved by time in the empty hall.
"This is where you used to live?" When they arrived at Zhao Yuan's territory, Leng Changxi's tense heart finally dropped, and she began to look carefree again.
"I lived here for two years when I was young, and I can hardly remember it." Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, with a hint of memory in his eyes.
This Wende Hall is a main hall rather than a garden. The vermilion gate is solemn and solemn. There are nine doormen across the door panels on both sides, a total of eighty-one. Passing through the Wende Hall gate, there is a section of marble
The granite palace road leads directly to the imposing Wende Hall.
The eight steps in front of the hall are all made of polished white marble. The top of the hall is paved with yellow glazed tiles with green trim, and the main ridge is decorated with colorful glazed dragon patterns and flame beads.
The main hall has carved beams, painted pillars and staggered brackets, and has been cleaned to be spotless.
Passing through the long corridor connecting the back garden next to the temple, what you see is indeed a different scene - one that is full of depression.
From the layout of the garden, Leng Changxi could vaguely see the shadow of the fish pond and the prototype of the garden. But at this moment, except for a pair of overgrown wastelands, there was no trace of the grandeur of a palace.
"Your Wende Palace is not deserted at all." Leng Changxi walked around and shook her head.
"No one has lived in it for more than ten years, so how can it be corrected?"
"It seems that you, the member of Wende Palace, are too lazy. It's time to straighten things out."
Zhao Yuan looked at her appearance, smiled indulgently, tapped her forehead gently and said, "Why, are you thinking of fulfilling your responsibilities as a mistress so quickly?"
"What I call improving the living environment is everyone's responsibility!" Leng Changxi snorted with a cute look that fascinated Zhao Yuan.
"Okay, then I will leave my Wende Palace to you to take care of." Zhao Yuan gently tickled the bridge of her nose: "It's just that this is easy to say, but not so easy to do.
Already."
"Why, I can't command these people anymore?" Leng Changxi raised her eyebrows.
"It's not a question of the servants, but a question of the cost of correction. The food and clothing expenses of the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace are all paid monthly according to certain standards. These coins include the cost of correction of the palace. I just now
I have just returned to the palace, how can I have all this money? Besides, the resource allocation in the palace is in charge of Queen Mother Wei, so I am afraid that if I really go to her, I will only encounter a soft nail." Zhao Yuan explained to Leng Changxi in detail.
.
In the palace, women with professional titles such as Queen and Queen Mother are all powerful masters. Needless to say, their methods are full of tricks, and their hearts are definitely not red-hot.
Leng Changxi had already heard of Queen Mother Wei. She was a powerful woman. The most important thing was that she didn't like Zhao Yuan. It was said that it was her idea to get Zhao Yuan out of the palace.
This time, the emperor issued an edict to ask Zhao Yuan to come back. It is impossible that Queen Mother Wei didn't know about it. Therefore, the thorn in her heart must have hurt her. Now that Wende Palace is short of money, how can she give it to her if he asks her again?
Thinking of this, Leng Changxi suddenly felt a little troubled.
"Miss, don't you have some money yourself?" In Lingshan's mind, the Leng family is a mountain of gold. My young lady grew up digging the roots of the mountain of gold. The small treasury is not what ordinary people can imagine.
After listening to Lingshan's suggestion, Leng Changxi glared at her: "Do you really think that my private money will be used to repair other people's houses?"
For a moment, Lingshan was silent. This approach was indeed not kind enough.
"Brother Yuan, why do you think Queen Mother Wei prefers Zhao Yu but always has a grudge against you?" Leng Changxi asked with a frown.
"Zhao Yu has been raised by Wu Cairen since he was a child, and Wu Cairen is a descendant of the Queen Mother Wei. It is natural that the Queen Mother Wei prefers Zhao Yu. As for her grudge against me, I think it is also because of my father, King Xi."
Zhao Yuan knew everything about Leng Changxi.
"According to the rules of the palace, how much monthly salary should this prince have?"
"If he is a prince, his monthly salary should be 500 taels. If he is an ordinary prince, his monthly salary should be 300 taels."
"How much is your monthly salary now?" Leng Changxi knew that even in the Leng family, Zhao Yuan was still an adopted prince, and the monthly salary he should be given should be quite generous.
"Sometimes it's a hundred, sometimes it's none." Zhao Yuan did not hesitate to let Leng Changxi know that he was already short of money, and he really didn't have the money to repair the garden.
"Do you think you are easy to bully when you are living outside?" Hearing this, Leng Changxi's face suddenly turned cold, with a serious smile on her lips. She originally thought that even if Zhao Yuan was in the Leng family, the treatment he deserved would be no less.
But now that I heard what he said, I was afraid that this was not the only thing Empress Dowager Wei was hiding from the truth: "How much is Zhao Yu's monthly salary now?"
"500 taels."
"In other words, your money was deducted to support Zhao Yu? Is Zhao Yu now enjoying the treatment of that prince?" Leng Changxi became even more angry.
"Exactly."
"Does the Emperor know?"
"I don't know. Because once you do this, it will be equivalent to recognizing Zhao Yu's status as the prince. Before the emperor has officially issued the decree, no one has the right to do this. To be serious, doing so is tantamount to treason." Originally, this was the case.
He didn't know anything about it, but when his monthly salary couldn't come to him on time, and even when it did arrive, it was still short of money, he had to ask Shi Hao to check it for him.
Zhao Yuan said the word "rebellion" very lightly, but Leng Changxi heard it in her heart. A plan flashed through her mind, and a crazy smile appeared on her lips: "Brother Yuan, we haven't done anything since we came back."
