Chapter 89 I Don't Deserve to Eat Ginseng? Yes!

"What benefits can be gained from using blood swallows?"

Concubine Li didn't understand.

Recently, Concubine Liu has been favored, and the Queen's father has returned to raise pigs, and they are all in the limelight, so is she, a concubine, not taken seriously? !

She is the concubine who raised the prince. If she can't use ginseng blood swallows, who else can use them?

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't take me and the Fourth Prince seriously at all!" Late at night, Concubine Li took the palace maids to the Chonghua Palace where the emperor rested, and angrily faced the emperor!

She couldn't be wronged, otherwise the Fourth Prince would also be despised.

Moreover, her dignity was lost, how could she rule over the two concubines living with her?

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

It was almost midnight, and Xiao Yunzhou was still looking through the memorials sent by the Ministry of Revenue, discussing with Jiang Li how to use the people's savings.

Suddenly, he was interrupted by Concubine Li's yelling.

Xiao Yunzhou was speechless, "What happened?"

The Minister of Revenue Jiang Li next to him yawned and felt embarrassed.

As soon as Concubine Li entered the study of Chonghua Palace, she gave him a sharp condemning look.

"Is Lord Jiang here too?"

"Should I still pay my respects to Lord Jiang? Kneel down before Lord Jiang?"

Ministry of Revenue Jiang Li coughed and looked at the emperor awkwardly.

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand at him, "You go sit next to me first, it's a good time to rest for a while."

Concubine Li glared.

Xiao Yunzhou then looked at her, "What's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Concubine Li took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to the emperor, "Your Majesty, haven't I always been afraid of the cold and have cold hands and feet? The Imperial Hospital said that I should take tonic food in winter."

"Today the north wind is howling, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some blood swallow ginseng porridge, hoping to nourish my body in the next few days."

"Who would have thought," Concubine Li rolled her eyes at Jiang Li, "The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Ministry of Revenue disagreed and asked me to fill in a profit forecast table for using blood swallows."

"Your Majesty," Concubine Li stamped her feet and looked at the emperor coquettishly, "Don't these servants look down on me?"

"What's the benefit of using tonic food? My good health is not considered a benefit?"

"Don't I deserve it?"

Concubine Li was trying to wink at the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but when she was halfway through her coquettish complaints, she heard Emperor Xiao Yunzhou actually hum.

He nodded at her confidently, "That's true, Concubine Li, eating blood swallows won't benefit you much, don't eat them."

Concubine Li: "???"

She almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty, what are you... saying..."

In the past, the emperor loved to practice Taoism and was not very keen on coming to the harem. At most, he was just heartless.

Now the emperor has directly practiced the ruthless way!

"Does your Majesty think that my body is not important?" Concubine Li was born gorgeous and charming when she was young. Now she is well maintained and is still a top beauty, not inferior to the past.

At this moment, her eyes were full of water, and she looked at Xiao Yunzhou pitifully.

The voice was so soft that ordinary men would lose half of their bones!

But Xiao Yunzhou almost nodded directly after listening for a while.

Finally, he held back and was not so bad.

"You are sick, take medicine when you should take medicine, see the imperial physician when you should see the imperial physician, why eat blood swallows?"

"???" Concubine Li raised her head in disbelief.

Xiao Yunzhou calculated for her, "If you really have insufficient blood and qi, don't you have jujubes to replenish your blood? That's cheap, one hundred taels is enough for you to eat for a lifetime, until you have a nosebleed."

"!" Concubine Li took a step back.

Xiao Yunzhou seemed not to see it, and explained to her with his hands, "Blood swallow ginseng porridge, one hundred taels is enough for you to eat one or two meals, it may not be suitable for your condition, and it is not a prescription prescribed by the imperial physician."

"It's useless if you eat it."

"..."

Concubine Li opened her mouth and almost wanted to look in the mirror.

Is her beauty gone!

What cruel words did the emperor say?

Is she a rural peasant woman? Is she only worthy of eating jujubes that cost a few dozen coins a sack?

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand, "Li Fei, don't look down on peasant women."

"Those peasant women weave cloth and sew clothes every day, and rush to harvest in the fields during the busy farming season. They have made important contributions to both their own families and our Jingguo."

"Besides, they also earned the winter dates through their own labor. Li Fei, even if you eat a winter date, you didn't earn it yourself."

"..."

Li Fei stared.

What's the matter, she doesn't deserve winter dates?

The emperor should hang her!

[...Ah, hahaha. ]

Xiao Chuchu woke up in the middle of the night and was hungry. She was feeding in Liupin's arms.

While eating, she prepared gossip to eat with rice.

As a result, when she saw the gossip video exchanged by the system - Li Fei crying, she was very happy.

[Oh my god, it's so funny, so cool! ]

[That's right, why eat ginseng for nothing, Li Fei is only a few years old. ]

[Besides, the money in the treasury is still borrowed from the people! How dare she take the people's money to support herself and keep herself beautiful! 】

Xiao Chuchu was breastfeeding and eating melons, and Concubine Liu was so sleepy that her eyes widened.

Other mothers would get up in the middle of the night to feed their babies, but she was feeding the little princess, and she was getting more and more energetic.

I wanted to laugh a little bit -

*

In the emperor's study over there.

Concubine Li was about to collapse. She clearly felt that the emperor was different from before.

She was full of grievances, but she couldn't argue with the emperor.

"Then the harem... don't they all eat blood swallow ginseng? If the queen and Concubine Liu are the same, then I have nothing to say."

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand immediately, "What are you comparing with Concubine Liu! She is different."

"???"

Concubine Li widened her eyes and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

The emperor is not heartless, but his heart is biased!

Too biased!

"Jiang Li, explain it to Concubine Li. I have to continue reading the memorials. I don't have time."

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand.

Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue had to stand up in embarrassment, "Empress Li."

"You said that Concubine Liu has improved the silk reeling technology in the past three months, which has improved the efficiency of silk weaving in the capital. I roughly calculated that the silk weaving women in the entire capital have recently increased their income by 300 taels."

"!" Concubine Li was stunned.

"In addition, the winter clothes that Concubine Liu sewed for the refugees have also increased in value by more than 50 taels."

"And Concubine Liu is still continuing to study silk weaving."

Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue spread his hands towards Concubine Li.

"If Concubine Liu wants to eat ginseng to replenish her body, we will consider whether the income and expenditure are balanced."

"..."

Concubine Li was about to faint.

But Xiao Yunzhou stopped Jiang Li's voice when he heard this, "I won't be so strict."

"If a woman in the harem is sick, ask the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription."

"If you really want to use ginseng to save lives, then human life is more important than heaven, and I will also approve it."

Jiang Li nodded, "Okay, I will add this item when I go back."

"Well, Concubine Li, you can leave. I'm still busy."

Concubine Li looked depressed. She returned home in defeat today, and she didn't get any good things. She was scolded openly and secretly!

So angry.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

But just as she turned around and left, she was stopped again.

It was close to midnight, the sky was dark, and only the palace lanterns were bright.

Concubine Li walked to the threshold, and the golden thread on her gorgeous clothes was set off by the palace lanterns, almost blinding Xiao Yunzhou's eyes.

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned, and suddenly remembered, "Concubine Li, how much does your palace dress cost?"

Concubine Li: "???"

She turned back in confusion, but heard Xiao Yunzhou muttering.

"The common people can't even wear silver thread, but they borrow money from me. How can I and my harem wear gold thread?"

"Take it off, Concubine Li."

"Put away these luxurious ones tomorrow and replace them with simple ones."

Concubine Li: "!"

She wanted to cry but had no tears.

Tonight, she lost both her wife and her army!

And Xiao Chuchu, who was far away in Concubine Liu's Donghua Palace, saw this remotely, and she sobered up.

[Isn't this just increasing revenue and reducing expenditure? My emperor father has improved again~]

[I am so relieved. ]

Concubine Liu listened to her daughter praising her father's progress, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The daughter seemed to be the emperor's ancestor.

But the next moment, Concubine Liu had no time to hold back her laughter.

Because I heard my daughter's fairy-like advice, --

[Oh, the emperor father reminded me, we can have a palace charity sale in the New Year! ]

[The emperor and the concubines took out some overly expensive clothes and jewelry, or jewelry that they no longer like and don't wear on weekdays, and held a charity sale to sell to wealthy merchants --]

[Wouldn't our Jing country have another non-operating income! ? ]

Liu Pin sat up with a snap.
