I want to flip the table

"Of course not! Even if the emperor chooses it himself, Zhaobi can wear it without worry!" Ruyi suppressed the discomfort in her heart and pretended to be generous.

Xie Lanyue smiled slightly when she heard this, stood up and bowed to Ruyi, "Concubine, I would like to thank the Queen. It is said that the Queen is the most kind and generous. It is true!"

Ruyi looked at Xie Lanyue's jade-like face and the smile at the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't suppress the malice in her heart.

Not long ago, Wei Yanwan, who had just been promoted to Concubine Zhuang, looked at Ruyi's white fingertips and picked up a tea cup to cover the smile on her lips!

Wei Yanwan looked at Xie Lanyue who was sitting beside her. For some reason, she was full of affection for Zhao Bin at the first sight. I didn’t know why before, but now it’s clear!

Ruyi saw Xie Lanyue being so disrespectful to her. Although she praised her kindness and generosity in every word, she always said that he was not as good as the first empress!

Malice surged in Ruyi's eyes, and she began to implement the plan she had negotiated with Hailan and the others, "Yesterday, I saw the account books of our Sixth Palace. It was too extravagant. We spent several times more on clothes and jewelry alone! "

"As a concubine in the harem, I should share the emperor's worries and solve his problems. I have decided that the division of the six palaces will remain unchanged, but the clothing, jewelry, and daily meals will be reduced by half!" Ruyi had a dignified smile on her face, just like the one sitting on the altar. Like gods and Buddhas, without sadness or joy, more dignified!

As soon as Ruyi said these words, the expressions of all the concubines below did not change. Although Ruyi did not let them wear the old clothes like the previous queen, but if they wear the same clothes and jewelry every day, it might be a bit... …

"I know that you sisters may feel a little uncomfortable, so I have selected a piece of jewelry from the treasurer for each of you as compensation!"

Everyone stood up to thank each other. Without Xie Lanyue, she still sat in her seat and made no move. She just grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and pretended to ask casually, "I heard that Queen Fucha has always been frugal and very generous. She often uses herself as an example." but!"

"The Empress has only mentioned that the share of our concubines should be reduced by half, but what about the Empress herself?"

"Isn't it true that only our concubines have their share reduced by half, while the queen's share remains the same?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the Empress is not as good as the former Empress! Although the former Empress advocated frugality, she also asked the sisters to reduce the amount of cloth and make clothes! But all this was done by the Empress first. After setting an example, she asked everyone to do so. A sister!"

"But the Shu Brocade on the Queen's body and the Dongzhu on her head, I'm afraid..."

"Besides, the attire of the concubines in the harem is the emperor's face. If during the banquet with the palace family, everyone finds that the concubines in the harem only have a few clothes. Then, wouldn't it make all the emperor's relatives laugh? "

"If the surrounding relatives of the emperor feel that the emperor cannot even afford the clothes and jewelry for the concubines in the harem, then..."

"Besides, as the queen of the palace, she should lead by example. How can she ask the concubines below to wear something as dusty as what the queen wears is so gorgeous!"

Xie Lanyue covered her lips and pretended to be surprised, but the gloating in her eyes was clearly visible to all the concubines!

At the same time, the concubines also came to their senses. Yes, before, the queen only said that the concubines' clothing should be halved, but she did not take any action!

At this time, the eyes of the concubines looking at Ruyi changed. They began to examine for the first time the queen who was now sitting on the high platform!

Looking back carefully, everyone suddenly discovered that the Queen was not as kind as she appeared!

All her kindness and nobility are based on the fact that as long as she raises her eyes, someone will charge for her. As long as he says a few words, someone will offer her with both hands, so she can not be stained with dust!

Some people who figured it out lowered their heads and smiled softly, as if they were laughing at their own stupidity and at Ruyi's hypocrisy!

Hearing this, a flash of suspicion flashed in Hailan's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, "My sister is so kind and generous. She is immune to dust. How could she be like that?" It's all Zhao concubine, it's her who is deceiving the public with her lies! '

Hailan was brainwashing herself, telling herself that she was right to choose Ruyi, and that her sister was still the one who protected her!

At this moment, all the slaves who had gone to collect the rewards also came in. Hailan got a hollow gold hairpin, and everyone else also received their rewards!

Xie Lanyue looked at the white jade earrings in front of her and made no move. The earrings reminded her of what Lu Fu had said about an encounter that happened to Imperial Concubine Shujia when Ruyi first paid her respects when she became empress!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Rong Pei, who was standing in front of Xie Lanyue, said, "Empress Zhaobi, these are the white jade earrings given to you by the Empress!"

"The Empress and Empress Zhao are not familiar with each other. I don't know if these white jade earrings are in line with Empress's wishes. Why don't I try them on on the spot!" Although it was a request, the tone was very firm and even vaguely threatening!

Xie Lanyue picked up the earrings lightly and looked at the earrings that were twice as thick as ordinary earrings. She sneered in her heart. It seemed that this Ruyi was nothing more than that! Changing the soup does not change the medicine, changing the person does not change the memory!

Xie Lanyue took the earrings in her hand, looked at them, and threw them back into the box. "It seems that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are no longer good at their craftsmanship! The work here is so rough, I think even apprentices can't master this craftsmanship." Might as well!”

Seeing Xie Lanyue being so presumptuous, Rong Pei no longer concealed the sternness in his eyes, "If Empress Zhao is unwilling to wear it herself, then this old slave will overstep her bounds!"

With that said, Rong Pei wanted to put earrings on Xie Lanyue, but Xie Lanyue reached out and slapped her on the face!

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Although Rong Pei was a slave, she was also the Queen's personal nanny. When she was walking outside, she represented the Queen's face!

But now she was slapped in the face by Zhaobi, who was probably trying to tear off the queen's face and stomp it on the ground!

Everyone looked up carefully and couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw the Queen's livid complexion. Some humble people are trying hard to reduce their sense of existence!

Wei Yanwan, on the other hand, covered the smile on her face with a handkerchief. It had been a long time since she had met someone she liked so much. It seemed like she would have to spend more time with Sister Zhaobin in the future!

But Xie Lanyue was still sitting firmly in her seat, carefully wiping the hand she used to hit Rong Pei with a handkerchief, as if there was something dirty on her hand. Her face was calm and showed no trace of panic, as if she had done something again. Just a normal thing!
