Chapter 783 People are selfish

The concubines never expected that the queen would come with them today.

Didn’t you say that the queen complained about her body? Why did she come with the Imperial Concubine?

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, so they didn't dare to make a big deal out of such a small matter.

"Please cancel the order, Princess Royal, we don't agree..." The person with no eyesight was still shouting, but was pushed hard by the person next to him.

Everyone reacted and immediately fell silent.

They lowered their heads and no one dared to look up.

In the past, when the Queen was still the Crown Princess, they were still a little scared when they saw her being quite majestic, acting vigorously and unsmilingly.

Who knew that the Imperial Concubine would alarm the Queen over such a trivial matter?

I usually clamor to see the queen to scare the imperial concubine, but I didn't expect to see her today.

"What's going on?" Leng Xiao glanced at everyone and asked with a smile.

But this smile is very cold.

This qi is not consistent with the legendary physical illness.

The concubines, who have to deal with others every day, don't even dare to breathe too hard at this moment.

Leng Xiao didn't want to waste too much time and gave Apei a look.

Ape stepped forward, bent down and helped up the concubine who was standing in front of her: "The queen asked, why didn't the concubine answer?"

The concubine who was helped up was so frightened that her legs trembled and she almost knelt down again.

Fortunately, Ape helped her and she was able to stand firm.

"Queen, we...are here to reduce the monthly salary." The concubine finally mustered up the courage to look at Leng Xiao, then lowered her head.

Who doesn’t know that the emperor only loves the queen? Who dares to challenge the Queen's authority?

"It is my intention to reduce the monthly money. What do you think?" Leng Xiao frowned, "Do you think that 30% of your monthly money is not enough to support military supplies? Do you want 50% or all of it?"

As soon as Leng Xiao finished speaking, the scene was silent again.

It's not that the concubines didn't know that all this was to support the emperor's new policy, but they would definitely feel uncomfortable if the matter fell on them.

It's not easy for them to be trapped in the palace for their entire lives, so why should they reach out to them?

A little money can't make any difference to the entire bill, so why can't it be cancelled?

But they don't know that the little money everyone in the entire palace adds up to is not a small amount.

And Leng Xiao hopes that the palace will take the lead and set an example.

After all, people are selfish. Life is getting better and better, so who is willing to lower their living standards?

Suddenly, a young and beautiful concubine came out.

Leng Xiao recognized her as Mrs. Sun.

"Empress, we don't want our monthly salary to be cut, and we hope you can take it back."

After Concubine Sun said something, the other concubines raised their heads one after another and continued to remain silent. The hard work of these days was destined to be in vain!

"Queen, our life is not easy either. I beg you to take back your life."

"Yes, if life can still go on, we won't dare to come easily and disturb you, the Queen."

"I hope the Queen can understand us!"

Leng Xiao looked at the mess all around and couldn't help but smile: "The Emperor is not here, your life is indeed not easy, someone is here!"

The guard standing not far away obeyed the order and quickly approached.

Soon, the guards surrounded the concubines.

"Empress, what do you mean?" The young concubine in charge was so frightened that her legs trembled and she couldn't help but step back.

She accidentally bumped into the person behind her, and they almost fell down hugging each other.

Isn't it just to mention, as for calling the Forbidden Army?

Many concubines regretted it. If they had known that the queen would come today, they should not have appeared!
