Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

After nearly a month of trekking, tens of thousands of holy drivers finally arrived at the Jehol Palace.Tian Mi finally moved from the tent to the house. Everyone worked very hard all the way, but Tian Mi survived unexpectedly.

In the autumn wind, his condition got better. In order to celebrate his arrival in Chengde, the emperor brought his concubines and children together for dinner at night, and discussed with Tian Mi about building a palace before the dinner started.

"How much money does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have? I want to practice the palace on this road. You have also experienced the bumps and hardships on this road, and this matter is imminent and I have to mention it."

After Tian Mi heard this, she couldn't help frowning. The road is so long, if you want to practice a palace, you have to build one not far away.Adding up definitely exceeds dozens of places, which is a lot of money!

"How many seats should be repaired first?"

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while, "Come along this way, check the terrain and select the address, there should be more than [-] places."

God!

Tian Mi just wanted to cover her forehead as soon as possible. There are more than 20 palaces, and the budget is at least 200 million taels. It is estimated that 200 million taels are not enough.

"Does it have to be fixed?"

Speaking of which, the emperor couldn't help but point his finger at Tian Mi's forehead, and teased her in a friendly tone, "Why don't you feel happy when it comes to spending money?"

No one enjoys spending the little money they have worked so hard to save.Although Tian Mi knows that once capital is circulated, money will generate money, but the current society can be called a low-desire society. Everyone's traditional concept is three years for the new, three years for the old, and three years for mending.The pit of consumerism has not been dug here, so everyone tends to cover their pockets.

In other words, money is not easy to earn.

Tian Mi sighed, and the emperor couldn't help laughing at her, "A few days ago, I praised you for understanding the general situation, why can't I figure it out now, this money should be spent. How about using the treasury?"

Using the national treasury is the next strategy. Firstly, there is not much money in the treasury. Secondly, using the treasury for the practice palace will inevitably lead to people cursing in the court.The road to Rehe should indeed be a practice palace, and Rehe will be visited every year in the future.

Just like going down to the south of the Yangtze River is to control the Jiangnan area, and going north to the Mulan Qiushou is to consolidate the border defense and control Mongolia.Its significance is far greater than the money spent.

Tian Mi sighed again, "If you tidy up everywhere, you can get more than 200 million taels."

The emperor nodded. The money was already quite a lot. The 200 taels of silver were kept there for him to use at any time. It was true that a virtuous wife went to the house to get the money.

"Thank you cousin, when the time comes, I'll hunt for furs for you to choose first."

Tian Mi really doesn't care about being so obedient, so what if I choose first or not?Do I dare to take something good?The good things should be kept and returned to honor the empress dowager and empress dowager in the palace.

"It's enough for the emperor to have the heart. Don't think I'm talkative. You should save some money. I see that our two Gege's dowry is a bit thin."

Because the princes from various Mongolian tribes had arrived long ago, the list of gifts Tian Mi gave her was already listed before she entered the door.After he took a shower and changed his clothes, he just sat down to drink some water when the jeweled gift was raised in front of his eyes, which shocked Tian Mi, a bumpkin who had never seen the world, dumbfounded.

It is really too realistic to describe it as jewels. Pearls are placed in a box one after another, and there are various gold, silver and jade objects piled up in the cabinet. When you first open it, you can't wait to drop it.Tian Mi can actually see many European-style water cups, kettles and decorations from this pile of things.

Tian Mi's eyes were set on these obviously exotic things, and the servants below hurriedly found out the things and held them in front of Tian Mi. some Arabic style.

The head eunuch here proudly reported, "These are all from the West, and some of them were bought by Lao Maozi and those princes in exchange for barter."

Since the Mongolian aristocrats are so powerful and flirt with Lao Maozi, this political marriage should not make Er Gege underestimated.

Even if she is not her own daughter, in order to control Mongolia and stabilize the border, Tian Mi has to add a little more to the dowry.

Thinking of this, Tian Mi couldn't help asking: "Who do you fancy as your son-in-law?"

Hearing this question, the emperor was also a little worried, "There are a few young men who are not bad, but wait and see."

Tian Mi didn't want to make the atmosphere so dull, so she couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, "Gege often hangs around in front of me in the past few days, and I want to find out about the future forehead, I don't know , if you decide to give me a letter earlier, I can go back and tell her."

The emperor laughed and joked a few words about his daughter, but both Tian Mi and the emperor knew that the selection of a son-in-law was based on family background and tribal influence, and appearance and character came second.I'm afraid that Er Gege's girlish thoughts may not be satisfied.Although her impression of Ergege was mediocre, Tian Mi couldn't help but sighed, "Time is fate, and if you want to change your fate, you have to be tough."

For a moment Tian Mi didn't know what to say, so she turned around and asked, "Is dinner ready?"

Li Dequan bowed and replied, "It's ready, and the young masters are waiting."

Tian Mi put on a smile, "Cousin, let's hurry up, this group of boys is growing up, people say half-children eat poor old people, even the fourth elder brother complained the day before yesterday that he couldn't get enough to eat every day, maybe Our stomachs are growling while waiting for us."

The emperor also laughed, "Children wait even if they are hungry. This is filial piety." After speaking, the two left the hall side by side and went to the side hall.

The eunuch at the door of the shop saw them coming, and shouted from a distance: "The emperor is here~", dragging a long tone.

After Tian Mi followed him into the room, she saw that both the servants and the sons and daughters had already fallen to their knees.

"Stay flat, are you hungry? Let the servants serve the food."

The emperor sat down first, Tian Mi supported the maid's hand and sat down next to him, Concubine Hui followed closely behind, then the prince sat down, and then the other princes and princesses took their seats.

As soon as the maids put the plates on the table, the eldest elder brother pointed to a plate of dishes with joy, "Look, Ama Huang, this mushroom was brought by my son. I heard from the guards that this is the time to eat it." Well, this taste is very fresh, there are no other places for this kind of mushroom, only this place grows these things."

The emperor ate a few chopsticks for the face, nodded and applauded, "good stuff, it's hard for you to run dozens of miles to find this after working all the way. Eldest brother is very filial, Li Dequan, pick one of the precious bows I used and give him. "

The elder brother immediately thanked her for the reward, and Concubine Hui's face shone brightly.Before the meal was eaten, the two of them, the mother and the son, stole the limelight. The prince's expression was ugly, and Er Gege's expression was even more ugly.

It was getting dark after this meal, and everyone dispersed. Tian Mi touched the foreheads of the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother at the fork in the road, "It's getting late, go back and go to bed early, tomorrow morning Those who read books should practice martial arts, but they can no longer have fun."

The two half-grown boys agreed, turned around and went back to rest together.Qing Yu helped Tian Mi to the temporary place where she lived, and watched as the bed was rolled out and a Tang Pozi was stuffed into the quilt.While taking off the messy jewelry on her head, Tian Mi asked, "Why do I see something wrong with the prince's face today?"

"It's not that big brother jumped up and down today and poked him in the tiger's nose with a straw stick. When you and the emperor were away, the two brothers had already had a quarrel in the side hall."

"why?"

"Today, Er Gege flattered the prince a few words, and the elder brother said that Er Gege thought he was the prince's servant, which made Er Gege and the prince angry. Concubine Hui drank tea as if nothing happened. The mother and son sang together, and the prince started I wasn't annoyed at the time, it's really Concubine Hui and Eldest Brother's deep affection between mother and son that provoked the Prince, and I'm afraid this matter will never end."

They are all small things in life. I am afraid that if they accumulate too much, they will become enemies of life and death.Since childhood, Er Gege has always flattered the high-ranking and powerful people, and looked down on the powerless and powerless.It's not unexpected to please the prince, not to mention that on the eve of her life's major decision, she can seize the opportunity to please the prince who can speak on this matter.

Concubine Hui, mother and son were a little strange, "Concubine Hui was not such a flamboyant person before?" After Tian Mi finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that one of the important ministers accompanying the king this time was Nalan. Pearl.

Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu did not deal with each other, and it was reflected in the inner palace. The person Suo'etu recommended was the prince, and Mingzhu would definitely choose the elder brother who was related by blood to wave the flag.

Concubine Hui thought her back was stiff, Tian Mi couldn't help but squinted her eyes and commented, "It's so stupid."

Even the old farmers farming by the side of the road knew that the rafters in their early years would rot first. Did Concubine Hui and Eldest Brother think they could replace the crown prince?

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Herring went to the door, and came over with a stack of papers after a while.

"Mother, this is the schedule for these days, as well as the relationship between the various tribes in Mongolia, and the people who can come to visit after the clan Gege married into Mongolia. We already know some of them. I don't know if there is anything new to add."

Tian Mi took the papers, looked down, and put them on the dressing table aside, "Okay, I've worked hard on this journey, let everyone go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow, so that you can get enough energy Time to work."

Qingyu agreed, helped Tian Mi to lie down and covered her with a quilt, "Madam, the servant will sleep outside, if you have something to do, please call the servant."

"Uh-huh."

Tian Mi didn't fall asleep after Herring blew out the lights, but stared at the bed curtains hanging on the bed thinking, it seems that Big Brother has become dishonest.

I should have prepared earlier, I haven't had the Holy Mother to remind the emperor or Concubine Hui that it is not good to do so.I'm afraid that reminding you may not make a good impression, but it will make people jealous.

They are all dragon sons, the fourth elder brother is the winner in Tian Mi's memory, don't do anything at this stage, just wait slowly, and then make a move when you make a move.The most important thing at the moment is: to accumulate more strength for his son, as the so-called Guangjiliang slows down becoming king...

Thinking of this, Tian Mi closed her eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

In Chengde under the moonlight, many people haven't rested yet, plotting all kinds of secrets in the dark, disputes and compromises time and time again, allies smile and raise their glasses, they have already found their prey in their hearts.
