"Who asked you to make your own decisions?"
Leng Xi's tone suddenly became sharp. He raised his cold face and looked at Concubine Li.
"You don't need to make the decision about my affairs. I told you before that when I come to Prince Xi's Mansion, Ansheng will be your old lady and don't get involved in other things."
"you……"
"Don't treat me like you did in the harem to Prince Xi's Mansion. Don't mention Xiaocui's matter again in the future. Don't take her here and there if you have nothing to do. A girl is pregnant with a child. If you tell me, you I’m not afraid of being embarrassed, I’m still afraid.”
Concubine Li's face turned pale at this moment, and she stared at Leng Xi,
"Are you afraid of embarrassment and do such a thing? If you hadn't made this girl pregnant, could I mention this matter to your mother? What? You have a child, and you are not even willing to give her the position of concubine. Her?"
"Hmph! That girl is too wild-minded. If I let her sit as my concubine, she would dare to sit on my head and shit."
"That girl just has a venomous mouth and doesn't have any bad intentions..."
"Stop talking."
Leng Xi suddenly waved his hand to stop her,
"I don't want to repeat what I said a second time. From now on, you should not interfere in any affairs of the palace. Ansheng will be your old lady."
Concubine Li wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Leng Xi's ugly face, she didn't dare to speak again.
So, she frowned, waved the handkerchief, turned around and left angrily.
Yu Qiaoqiao stood there and persuaded awkwardly:
"Be more polite to my mother from now on."
"You're welcome? She just likes to push people's noses and faces. If it weren't for her, would I be where I am today? She always gives me all kinds of tricks behind my back. In the end, she almost got me involved. If she was like her usual Just like the family, I entered the cold palace early, my life is definitely not like this."
Mentioning the Chang family, Yu Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement,
"You are right. I heard that Chang kept making trouble after returning to Prince Ming's Mansion, and Luo Xue was very troubled by this."
Leng Ming's eyebrows moved, and his eyebrows were cold.
Chang was more ambitious than his concubine Niangli. If not, she would not have been relegated to the cold palace.
But this also made Leng Ming a blessing in disguise. If not, Leng Ming would have made countless big mistakes under her instigation, let alone marry Luo Xue and become a second-rank official in the court.
The next morning,
Prince Ming's Mansion
Just as Luo Xue was about to go to Huichun Hall, the housekeeper came to her with the accountant.
"Princess, the accountant is looking for you."
Luo Xue looked at the two of them in surprise.
"Come to me early in the morning. What's wrong?"
Mr. Accountant bowed and clasped his fists:
"I've been thinking about this all night, and I think I should tell you."
"Tell me, what's the matter? You're hesitant."
The cashier pursed his lips and said,
"Last night, the old lady went to my place to withdraw a thousand taels of silver. She said she needed it urgently. I didn't want to give it to her, but she said...she said it was approved by the prince. She also said, if I don't give it to her, , resigned from me. You came back late yesterday, so I thought of getting up early today to ask, but I heard that the prince went to court early in the morning, so I came to tell you. "
"One thousand taels?"
Luo Xue couldn't help but repeat, "You said she took one thousand taels? Or did Leng Ming agree?"
The cashier nodded quickly and replied,
"Yes, I took one thousand taels."
Luo Xue looked at the housekeeper,
"Go and call the old lady here. I want to see what she wants to do with so much silver. Last night I went in and out with Leng Ming. When did Leng Ming promise to let her withdraw one thousand taels of silver?"
"Princess, the old lady went out early in the morning."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. She didn't say it, and no one dared to ask. Now the servants in the house don't dare to talk to her. She scolds anyone who speaks."
The more she heard this, the angrier Luo Xue became.
Leng Ming, this mother, is really a carefree person.
"I understand. This matter will be dealt with when the prince comes back. You can go and do your work. By the way, except for me and the prince, no one is allowed to pay when withdrawing money, especially the old lady."
"Yes, Princess."
The housekeeper and the accountant went out together, but Luo Xue became even more angry.
Xiaoli stepped forward to pour her a glass of water and persuaded:
"Princess, please calm down. If you get angry, wouldn't the old lady be happier? She is eager to take over this family now, but you can't fulfill her wish."
"She was dreaming."
Luo Xue breathed heavily, "If it weren't for the fact that she is Leng Mingniang, I wouldn't have given her this face. I would have kicked her out long ago."
After saying this, she breathed a sigh of relief,
"Let's go to the Huichun Hall."
Life has to go, no matter how much trouble she makes, she is still Leng Ming's mother.
Leng Ming's annual salary was only one thousand five hundred taels, and she could take away one thousand taels at once. This matter must not be left alone.
However, it would be better to wait until Leng Ming comes back to deal with this matter, so as not to cause others to suspect her of bullying her mother-in-law.
…
Inside the palace
The beautiful girls sent by officials from all over the country were screened at all levels and entered the palace early. They were waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.
Eunuch Bai looked at these people, raised his voice and lectured:
"Everyone, this is Miss A Cai. She is the female official of the inner court. Not only now, but also everything after you enter the palace will be under her control. You don't dare to say no to her. Otherwise, our family will not be able to guarantee you Is there any life left alive?”
Hearing this, the girls lowered their heads and responded quietly,
"yes."
A Cai stood in front of these people and began to lecture them.
"Don't think that after you enter the palace, you will become the master of this palace. Tell you, please be patient and honest. In a moment, the Queen will bring two princesses to choose someone. This is just a formality. The Emperor and The Queen's feelings can be learned from heaven and earth, so no matter who you choose later, you will still stay in the palace as errands, and no one is allowed to have any inappropriate thoughts towards the Emperor, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"yes."
At this moment, a girl quietly stepped forward and put a piece of silver into A Cai's hand.
"I hope Miss A Cai will take good care of me in the future."
Ah Cai smiled contemptuously, then took out the ingot of silver and displayed it in front of everyone.
"She is a capable person, but there is no shortage of such people in the palace. Come on, send this girl to the Clothing Bureau as an errand."
Hearing this, the girl immediately became anxious, "Miss A Cai, I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't want to go to the Clothing Bureau, I don't want to serve others."
A Cai stuffed the ingot of silver into her arms and reminded her in a low voice:
"Don't want to serve others? Do you want others to serve you? It's a little early now. Remember, don't be smart in this palace. The palace now is no better than before. It's not a place for you to play tricks. If you don't want to go to Huanyi Bureau, I can also order someone to send you back to your place of origin."
"Miss Ah Cai, my family borrowed money to give me gifts so that I could enter the palace. I can't go back, and I won't go back even if I'm killed."
"Then go work as a errand in the Clothing Bureau. Once you're done, I'll consider giving you another job."
"Then don't forget me."
Ah Cai waved her hands to the two palace maids behind her, gesturing for them to take her away.
Seeing this, the rest of the people took back the money they had prepared in advance in their sleeves.
At this time, Luo Lan brought Yong Ping, Yong Ning, Xing Nan who came to see the excitement, and Prince Daji to come to the palace ladies.
A Cai stepped forward and reported back:
"Mother, there was a girl who tried to bribe someone just now and was sent to the Clothing Bureau by her subordinates."
