Chapter 416 It's Just a Word
The west side hall of Fengxi Palace.

Duan Yuting sat in the first place, and Concubine Hua sat on the east side.

A group of stewards are reporting.

One of the stewards said: "There is a funeral in the house of Empress Wu, do you want to reward me?"

Duan Yuting asked, "Who passed away?"

The steward said, "It's the old lady of the Wu family."

Duan Yuting asked again: "Is there such a precedent in this palace?"

The steward said: "In the past, all concubines and elders in the family died, and they were rewarded with 50 taels of silver."

Duan Yuting said: "Since there are precedents, just follow it."

The steward agreed and withdrew.

Another person came to report: "It's time for the palace to make winter clothes, and the money for making winter clothes has not been distributed this year."

Duan Yuting asked, "Is Guanshi Yang here?"

Steward Yang came out and bowed, "Ma'am, I'm here."

Duan Yuting asked, "Why hasn't the money for making winter clothes been distributed yet?"

Steward Yang said: "Because the cotton crop is not harvested this year, the price of cotton has increased by three renminbi. According to the old rule, the money allocated to me by the palace is not enough, but I need to ask for more money, so it is not distributed."

Duan Yuting said: "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell me that it is my palace, and the money for making winter clothes will be distributed according to the market price. It is cold in winter, and the winter clothes must be kept warm."

Steward Yang agreed and withdrew.

After a while, all the stewards finished reporting, Duan Yuting looked at Concubine Hua with a smile: "Sister, what can you do?"

Concubine Hua laughed and said, "My sister is so capable, I really don't need my sister's help."

Duan Yuting also laughed: "One person is short in wit, but two are wise. My sister, don't underestimate yourself."

Concubine Hua also smiled and said: "My sister's teaching, my sister will remember it."

Duan Yuting smiled and said, "In that case, let's break up today."

Concubine Hua nodded and led the people away.As soon as she left Fengxi Palace, the smile on Concubine Hua's face disappeared.She glanced back viciously: "You bitch, how dare you treat me like this, you wait...huh." She turned and left.

When Duan Yuting returned to the main hall, she heard that Duan Qiyuan asked to see her.

Duan Yuting ordered someone to invite him in.

Duan Qiyuan entered Fengxi Palace with his servants, and saw that the furnishings in the palace were exquisite, low-key and luxurious, showing the aura of wealth and honor everywhere.Bogu racks are full of beautiful things in eyes, all of which are first-class emerald ornaments.He clicked his tongue secretly, how much does this cost.

While watching, he stepped forward and bowed to salute: "The imperial concubine is safe."

Duan Yuting ordered someone to give her a seat, and asked, "How is the family?"

Duan Qiyuan said: "The family is still the same, and your mother is also very good. She has been making clothes for me recently. You see," he stretched out his arms, "She made me several clothes, and I couldn't even wear them."

Duan Yuting smiled: "My mother is used to sewing."

Duan Qiyuan said: "There is nothing wrong at home, but recently a friend of mine encountered some trouble."

Duan Yuting asked, "Which friend is it?"

Duan Qiyuan said: "It's that Li Yaoting."

Duan Yuting just laughed: "It turned out to be him, I know him, he is a good friend you played with since childhood."

Duan Qiyuan also laughed, "It's him." He told about Li Yaoting.

Duan Yuting said: "It's not difficult. I heard that the emperor wants to build a palace in the northern suburbs, saying that he wants to cool off there. I will go talk to the emperor and leave this matter to him. Not only plant trees, but if he If you dare to take over, this palace will be handed over to him to build, just don’t make any mistakes. The gardens after this palace will also be handed over to him to take care of, that’s fine.”

Duan Qiyuan said with a smile: "It's great to have a powerful daughter, everything can be said in one sentence."

Duan Yuting also laughed: "Now that you know me, it's not the time to hate me then."

Duan Qiyuan said: "Father and daughter, there is no overnight feud. You are always my own flesh and blood, what else can I say."

Duan Yuting chatted with Duan Qiyuan for a while, then gave him a few more pieces of jade, and said: "This is a reward from the emperor, I know you like these, so I kept them specially, you can take them back."

Duan Qiyuan was also polite, and brought a gift back home.

The Queen Mother here is also listening to the report from Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang said: "For more than a month, the imperial concubine has been considerate in handling things, followed the old rules in everything, and never acted arbitrarily. After this period of rest, the harem has gradually returned to normal, and everything is in order. It's just..."

The Queen Mother asked, "Just what?"

Grandma Wang said: "It's just that the imperial concubine is too capable. For more than a month, there has been nothing wrong with the concubine Hua. I heard that the concubine Hua is very dissatisfied. She told others several times that the imperial concubine has exclusive power."

The queen mother asked: "Aijia remembers that Concubine Hua has an uncle who openly collected money in the imperial dining room. How is it now?"

Grandma Wang said: "As soon as Concubine Duan Guifei took over the affairs of the palace, she dismissed him, but he didn't ask for the money he collected. Before leaving, he even rewarded two jars of new wine. I heard that he was very happy when he left."

The queen mother also laughed: "There are still such people in this world."

Grandma Wang said: "Do you think, how much knowledge can an aunt's brother have? When he got money and rewards in the palace, he felt decent and naturally he was happy."

The queen mother said: "Who is in charge of the imperial dining room now?"

Grandma Wang said: "I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has appointed someone, but he is very disciplined."
