Yun Qian thought about it carefully and felt that the King of Chu locked up Lu Zhu but did not say who would be in charge of the middle feed. During these days, the King of Chu had been ignoring these trivial matters. At this time, he was afraid that he wanted Princess Chu to regain power.
.
It’s just that King Chu and Princess Chu have always been at odds with each other. Why would they want Princess Chu to regain power?
She suddenly felt that the twists and turns of King Chu's thoughts were really annoying. She really couldn't figure out what was going on with King Chu and Princess Chu, and it was really annoying to have this matter surrounding her.
She coughed lightly and said, "Did you always buy the items on this list in previous years?"
"Yes." The steward replied, "It's just that there are only two days left before the Chinese New Year, so even if I go shopping, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Chu Yuanzhou looked at Yun Qian's frown and knew that she was not very interested in these trivial matters in the palace. He immediately reached out to take the list and looked at it and said: "The concubine Lu's mother's family is rich, and she spends all her money on weekdays."
Money comes lavishly, and a lot of things on this list are used for giving gifts and managing relations between the DPRK and China. This year's Huaihe River disaster caused the emperor to ask the harem to be frugal. I heard that the expenses in the palace were reduced by half, and the Chu Palace also
How can we continue to be as extravagant and wasteful as before?"
After he finished speaking, he said disdainfully: "With ten kilograms of blood swallows, you can eat so much without fear of diarrhea! With twenty pieces of tencels, you can wear them in this cold weather without fear of freezing to death! Such a large row of dried scallops is like using money like dirt.
Is that so? And that’s not how you can taste local products from various places, right?”
When he said this, the manager couldn't speak. He just lowered his head and said: "Concubine Lu likes these things. She uses the blood swallows and Tiansi to give to the nobles in the capital, and Tiansi was sent in by the Lu family."
Yes, it doesn’t cost any money, the dry goods and local products are also sent in by Lu Mansion. The prince likes to eat sea cucumbers the most, so Lu Mansion will send a lot of them every Chinese New Year.”
When the manager explained this, Yun Qian and Chu Yuanzhou looked at each other. Both of them had a hint of disdain in their eyes. Chu Yuanzhou's eyes had a hint of coldness: "So, Lu Mansion is really not ordinary.
Generous, what’s wrong? This year Lu Fangfei was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, so they won’t come to show their respect to the Prince of Chu’s palace?”
The steward replied: "A few days ago, Lu Mansion sent someone to ask for a meeting with Concubine Lu. He was very angry when he learned that Concubine Lu was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall. There was a commotion in the palace at that time. It happened that the prince and the prince were not in the palace, so they
No one knows."
Chu Yuanzhou sneered and said: "If you dare to come to Prince Chu's Mansion to cause trouble, the people in Lu Mansion are really capable and courageous!"
Seeing that Chu Yuanzhou was already angry, the steward couldn't say anything at the moment. Yun Qian asked from the side: "Because Lu Mansion didn't send anything to the palace this year, so the things that were in the palace this year are not available now, right?
"
"The prince has never cared about the expenses of the palace. The standard for the New Year every year is two thousand taels of silver. However, this silver has never been enough to spend, so every year during the New Year, Concubine Lu will take out the money to supplement it."
Explaining the matter of silver on the side.
Yun Qian smiled and said, "Concubine Lu Bian is really the God of Wealth in the palace. She actually supplements the food and clothing expenses in the palace every year. No wonder she pleases my father so much."
The manager didn't feel comfortable expressing his opinion after hearing this, so he could only smile lightly.
Chu Yuanzhou curled his lips and said: "It's so shameful for a man to spend a woman's money. Aren't you afraid that others will say he is a pretty boy?"
