Chapter 95 Concubine Liu, I Want You to Be My Mirror!
A loyal minister who has been beaten?
Xiao Yunzhou raised his eyebrows.
Listening to him, he still didn't have a strong loyalty.
Xiao Yunzhou looked at Jiang Liyuan's figure and suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go as an emperor.
There was no minister who was loyal to him around him.
Xiao Yunzhou thought about it, and then he put his hands behind his back and turned to Donghua Palace with a gloomy face.
Minpin had gone to the kitchen in the back to collect duck feathers.
Only Liupin was letting Qiuli experience the feeling of this first down jacket carefully.
"My queen, this is much lighter than a cotton coat. I feel that I walk a lot lighter."
"I feel so relaxed, as if it's like a summer coat, without any weight."
"But it's so warm, I'm sweating."
Qiuli's face was in the hall with a brazier burning, and she was sweating a thin layer of sweat.
Concubine Liu couldn't hide her smile, "Really? Let Concubine Min try it later."
I don't know if she can handle the winter coat well.
If Concubine Min feels relaxed, can't this winter coat be used by the soldiers stationed at the border in winter?
Concubine Liu's eyes flickered, "These days, the border is estimated to be snowing heavily and frozen three feet."
Zhang Jia, the wet nurse who was holding Xiao Chuchu next to her, had a worried look on her face when she heard this.
Her husband Pang Rushong had made meritorious service in the rebellion of Prince Liao earlier, and was sent to Datong by the emperor and promoted to General of the Cavalry.
He sent a letter back a few days ago and said that he would not return to Beijing for the New Year.
Datong's winter snow was flying, and it should be colder than here.
She heard that the military pay was not enough this year, and the garrison was estimated to be cold and bitter.
"Zhang Jia, if Concubine Min brings back duck down later, you can make one for your husband."
Concubine Liu also thought of Pang Rushong.
Thinking of what my daughter said before, Pang Rushong should have a relapse of his old injury in the ‘future’ and died on the way back to Beijing after the war.
Regardless of whether the ending of this life can be rewritten, Concubine Liu also feels that soldiers should be treated well while they are alive.
"If your husband can wear this down jacket in Datong, I will ask the Ministry of Works to talk to the emperor and make a batch and send it to the military camp."
The more Concubine Liu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
[Oh, my mother is awesome, you also give down jackets to the army! ]
[Then it can be made into a thin down style and worn inside the soldiers' armor. Not only will it not be a hindrance, but it will also keep warm~]
[My mother is awesome~]
Xiao Chuchu widened her eyes and grinned in Zhang Jia's arms.
Concubine Liu picked up the teacup and covered her lips that were amused by her daughter. "Let the little princess stay with me today, and I will coax her to sleep. In this way, you can make clothes for your husband at night."
"Thank you, madam!"
"Your wife has always been taken care of by your madam, and now you have to worry about your family."
Zhang Jia was very moved. What she was most worried about in the palace was her husband at the border and the soldiers.
She was really afraid that the soldiers would not be well fed and clothed, which would affect the outcome of the war.
By then, Pang Rushong, as a general, might not be able to come back.
"Madam, I wish I could take care of the little princess and you for the rest of my life."
Concubine Liu's concern was not just empty words, but also actions, which made Zhang Jia feel very comfortable.
"Your madam not only cares about the people, but also the soldiers at the border. You are a role model for us women!"
Zhang Jia thought that the only use of women like them as wives was to take care of children.
For someone like her to be able to bring a little princess into the palace and earn money and honor for the family, she was already extremely powerful.
But when she met Concubine Liu, she realized that it was not the case at all.
In addition to taking care of children, women can also be powerful in many ways!
"My queen, I think that if I have free time in the future, when the little princess is asleep, I will help you make this velvet coat."
Zhang Jiashi knelt down sincerely.
"When I was a girl at home, I was good at fine brushwork."
"If your queen needs me, just ask."
[Ding, Liu Channiang has gained a loyal follower. ]
[Current progress 2/5. ]
Xiao Chuchu was stunned.
So fast.
Her mother is too powerful, much faster than the emperor father, just like riding a rocket.
As she thought about it, she kept chattering in her heart, [The nanny has always been very low-key and never said that she can paint. ]
[Wow, it seems that as long as you treat people with your heart, you can warm their hearts. 】
Xiao Yunzhou, who had not walked into the door, was stunned when he heard his daughter's voice.
Treat people with heart?
So, the ministers were not loyal to him, because he was not loyal enough?
Xiao Yunzhou was shocked.
For many years, the emperor's teachings he had received from the prince to the present were all about how to control his subordinates, not how to treat people with heart.
So, Jiang Licai was only afraid of him because he was beaten, not really loyal to him.
Xiao Yunzhou stood at the door, looking at Concubine Liu who was reluctant to let Zhang Jia kneel on the ground, and felt that he seemed to have realized something.
Concubine Liu has always been kind and soft-hearted.
Unlike him, he always curses recently!
"Cough." Xiao Yunzhou cleared his throat as he thought about it.
Liupin was helping Zhang Jia up and was startled by the cough.
When she looked up, she saw a pair of embroidered dragon gold boots parked outside!
Liupin was startled.
Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand and stopped her from saluting. "I heard that you have come up with something new, a down jacket. I came to see it."
Liupin lowered her head quickly. How long has the emperor been here?
Did she say anything wrong just because of the little princess's thoughts?
"It's not that I thought of it. It was my elder brother who insisted that I bring back a cart of duck eggs and a few stuffed ducks two days ago."
"Minpin ate too much at night, so she pulled me to play shuttlecock, and we thought of the problem of keeping warm..."
Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched when he heard it.
Minpin, this fool has good luck. Fortunately, she lives with Liupin!
Otherwise, it would be in vain to kick five hundred shuttlecocks, and I couldn't think of the down jacket at all.
"It's hard for you to think of clothing." Xiao Yunzhou patted Concubine Liu's hand, and found that her fingers were full of needle holes and scratches.
Xiao Yunzhou took a breath.
After a while, he sighed, "I know, you have been working hard recently."
Concubine Liu's current focus on clothing and silk weaving is the same as his focus on studying finance. No matter what he is doing, his mind is full of this matter.
This is why he thought of the idea of down jackets from duck feathers, right?
"Concubine Liu, I don't know how to reward you."
"I promised before that if anyone can earn a hundred taels of silver for me, I will promote them."
Xiao Yunzhou looked at Concubine Liu with appreciation, without concealing.
"Your Majesty, this is not my own credit." Concubine Liu didn't dare to take credit.
She felt guilty.
If she didn't have a daughter, how could she think of so many things?
"Instead of rewarding me, why not reward the ministers in the Ministry of Industry who worked hard to participate in the research and development?" Concubine Liu felt that she was not worthy of the title.
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered.
Learned.
He, the emperor, learned again.
No wonder, Concubine Liu is a woman, but everyone around her is so sincere to her.
She doesn't take credit for herself, but she sees the credit of those around her!
"Well, I'm not discussing it with you."
Xiao Yunzhou patted her hands.
"I've thought of it."
"I've said it, and I can't take it back. I'm going to promote you."
Concubine Liu opened her mouth.
Ah?
She is a woman in the harem, and she is not allowed to interfere in politics!
How to be an official?
"Your Majesty, do you want me to be a concubine? I don't want to!" The concubine in the girl's mouth is an unlucky black sheep that will destroy the country!
Concubine Liu refused!
Xiao Yunzhou laughed, "Being a concubine is a waste of your brain."
"I want you to be a female official in front of the emperor."
"???"
"Tell me every day how you treat the palace maids and eunuchs around you."
"I want you to be my mirror!"
Liu Pin's eyes widened.
Xiao Chuchu was so shocked that she forgot to say anything.
[Ding, side quest-women's status has increased significantly by 5%! ]
