[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

No one in the room is deaf, so they all heard Jiaojiao's words.

The emperor couldn't help sighing, he was not in the same family, he didn't enter the family, Xiaobao was lazy, and married a daughter-in-law who loved to play, the couple were ignorant and incompetent.

The Queen Mother was smiling, pretending she didn't hear it, she was already at this age, and she only hoped to live for two more years, she didn't have the energy to take care of these nosy things.

After serving tea, everyone dispersed, Shuwan and the emperor walked slowly from Ningshou Palace back to Yongshou Palace, it was time to take a walk.

On the way, the emperor complained to Shuwan, "Look at the granddaughter-in-law Huang Ama chose!"

The weather was cold, Shuwan held the stove in her hand, and before she opened her mouth to speak, she spit out a wisp of white mist.

"This matter can't be blamed on Huang Ama. When we chose a wife for Xiaobao, we asked people to search everywhere, and finally we chose Jiaojiao. We think her temperament is compatible with Xiaobao."

The emperor sighed, "Two people add up to play with each other, how will we live in the future?"

Shuwan said: "Don't care about them! In the palace you feed and drink for them, and when they leave the palace, even if they eat shit every day! Let's pretend we don't see it!"

Shuwan paused, but she was still worried after all, "Oh, let's arrange two capable nuns for them then!"

Shuwan and the emperor looked at each other, feeling helpless in their hearts.

Xiaobao has a few days of wedding leave for getting married. After serving tea that day, Xiaobao leads his wife to familiarize himself with the terrain of the palace, and get to know the maids and eunuchs around him.The next day he took his daughter-in-law to play with his younger sisters. They went riding horses together in winter, and it was not too cold.

Xiaobao and the others just got married, and it was not easy for Shuwan to drag them over and scold them, so she could only let them make trouble.

In the blink of an eye, when it was Chinese New Year, the emperor sealed the pen, he didn't have to be busy with government affairs, and suddenly had a lot of free time.Shuwan was the opposite of him. Before the end of the year, she had to send people to prepare the sacrificial offerings, as well as several large palace banquets for the next year. This was her busiest time.

"Just prepare according to the items on the list! If something is missing, you can take the sign to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let them buy it."

Shuwan handed the list to the maid, and another maid handed over a stack of ledgers.

"This is the account book for the last two months, please take a look at it."

Shuwan nodded, "Leave it alone! I'll watch right away!"

The servants all went out, the emperor picked up the account book and looked through it, "Do you need to come in person to check the accounts?"

Shuwan got up to get the abacus, "There are account managers below, I just took a look at it, random checks, I can't let them fool me. Such a big palace, there are so many accounts in various names, I can check them one by one. ?”

The emperor asked: "Do you still have an abacus? I will also look it up for you."

"No need, I can do two things at once, just sit and talk with me!"

The emperor said: "Before I sealed the pen, I ordered someone to choose a location for Kang Bao and Xiaobao's mansion, and by the way, a place for my younger brothers who live in the palace."

Shuwan nodded again and again, "Well, this is business."

The first emperor had many children, and now there are still a few underage elder brothers living in the palace. The emperor is the elder brother, so he has to take responsibility to raise the younger brothers and watch them get married.

Shuwan thought of a question, she stopped fiddling with the abacus, "Is there enough money to build so many mansions at once? If not, I have some more."

The emperor nodded, "Let's do it! Huang Ama doesn't save money. When I first came to the throne, the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could only be said to have a slight surplus. After Huang Ama's major affairs are done, there will be nothing left in the library. Now Curry's money is still my way to get it!

But you don't have to worry about me, let alone fill it with your own private house.This is a public matter, so naturally the public's money should be used.First draw the blueprints this year, dig the foundation, build the house next year, build furniture and arrange the garden the year after... Let’s take our time, the money will be rushed to get in and spent, if it’s not enough, wait a few years, and the house can always be built . "

The emperor smiled and said: "I am reluctant to spend my private money on public affairs. I know you have money, and I also have private money in the treasury of our palace. Put those away first, and I want to leave them for the children in the future!"

Shuwan lowered her head and smiled, "You're pretty good at calculating!"

The emperor smiled triumphantly and said: "As the saying goes, you can eat as much as you can and wear as much as you want, and you can't count your life as poor."

Shuwan clapped her hands and applauded him, "Okay! My elder brother said it well! I'll make a banner later and hang it on the wall of our house!"

The emperor smiled and patted her on the forehead, "Stop teasing me!"

Shuwan has always been efficient in doing things, and the emperor also helped to read the account books, and the stack of account books was quickly checked.

Shuwan pushed the account book away, feeling a little hungry, and ordered someone to bring some snacks.

The emperor and Shuwan washed their hands and ate snacks, and Shuwan asked casually, "Are you still running the academy?"

The emperor put down the half-bitten jujube paste roll, took a sip of tea and sighed with Shuwan.

"Don't mention it, the academy hasn't been built yet, I think the ministers have already figured out who to let through the back door."

Shuwan: "Hey! It's very efficient!"

These people are comparable to unscrupulous developers. Before the building is built, the house is sold first. The emperor is a resentful investor.

The emperor sneered, "When they are needed, they can always find an excuse to shirk. Now that they see a profit, they are like flies, and they will take the initiative to jump up."

"Humans! They all seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Those who see the advantages and don't rush forward are fools."

The emperor sighed, "If you can put forward good opinions, just be greedy for benefits. I'm not a stingy person. It's a pity that these people are in high positions, but their brains are like wood. They put forward a lot of opinions, nothing more than building the academy into a second Guozijian, then what's the point of me building another academy?"

Shuwan tilted her head and thought for a while, then put down the snack, "How about... you leave the building of the Academy to me?"

The emperor hesitated, "Leave it to you? Are you busy?"

It is not easy for Shuwan to be a queen. There are a lot of things in the palace, and there is a makeup pavilion outside the palace. She also has to deal with the imperial family's wives.

Shuwan smiled and said, "Building an academy is much more interesting than dealing with palace affairs. No matter how busy I am, I can still find time. Palace affairs are repeated non-stop. What happens every year is the same. It's just adding or subtracting as appropriate. Once cooked, you can do it with your eyes closed.

Going out to build an academy is different. I have to start over and try bit by bit.Things may go wrong, obstacles may be encountered, but every day is the unknown.Don't you think it's funny? "

The emperor looked around, there was a charcoal pot burning in the room, it was as warm as spring, and there were delicate refreshments on the table.It's cold and windy outside. In such weather, sitting in the house warming up by the fire and drinking a cup of hot tea is really a pleasure.

But the square sky in the palace is really too small, Shuwan lives here, does not leave the gate, and is busy with those repetitive and trivial palace affairs every day, it is indeed too inferior.

The emperor smiled at Shuwan, "As long as you like it, I will leave the affairs of the academy to you."

Shuwan clapped her hands and cheered, "Great! Of course I like it, thank you for promising me."

Shuwan silently estimated her total property in her heart, "The money I have earned over the years is enough to build three or five academies."

"Tsk! Are you stupid? Of course the court paid for the construction of the academy!" The emperor felt that his wife was too naive, "It is my idea to build the academy, and it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people, so the court should pay for it! You Save up your money and leave it to your son."

"You really distinguish between public and private!"

The emperor is not the kind of elder who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, he understands the benefits of money too well.

The emperor said: "It's good that I didn't move the money from the treasury to my own treasury. No one can use my money except the children!"

Shuwan was amused by his stingy look, "Okay! Thank you for teaching me the principles of thrift and housekeeping, but I also have my reasons for paying out of my own pocket."

Shuwan said sternly: "It's good for the court to take money, but according to the rules of the ancestors, the harem is not allowed to participate in politics. If the court takes money, building an academy becomes the government affairs of the court, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward."

The emperor said: "I will ask you to take over this matter by name and surname, who dares to talk too much."

"Big fellows don't dare to speak too harshly, it's inevitable to be long-winded. Besides, the princes of the palaces study very hard, but no matter how good they are, they are useless. You leave the matter of building the academy to me, I will take Gege to practice, and I will reserve one or two positions for them in the academy in the future, and their books will not be in vain. If the court pays, I may still have a chance, and it is impossible for Gege to get involved in this job."

Shuwan's words are indeed reasonable, the emperor is like a foolish king, whatever his wife wants to do is right, he has no opinion at all.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Just tell me if you need someone or something, and I'll help you arrange it."

Shuwan smiled and said: "Then... If I'm too busy outside the palace, can I just rest in the palace?"

The emperor also laughed, "Only this matter, no!"

joke!He can't leave his wife, it's absolutely impossible for husband and wife to live apart!

Shuwan has obtained the consent of the emperor, and she will immediately discuss the matter of opening the academy before the end of the year.

But after the emperor sealed the pen, the school was also on vacation, and Princesses had already gone home.

Shuwan didn't let them go, she ordered people to spread the word in each mansion to arrange New Year's homework for the children.She explained what kind of academy she wanted, and gave a general description of the difficulties she might encounter. She hoped that everyone could come up with a feasible plan. After the holiday, she would conduct random checks.

Outside the palace, the princesses who thought they could play freely sighed. In the palace, Tana and Jiaojiao, who had been helping Shuwan with the palace affairs, also received the same homework.

Shuwan asked them to overcome difficulties, even if they stayed up all night, they had to complete it, which was very ruthless.

It's okay for Tana, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she has always set high standards and strict requirements on herself.It was miserable for Jiaojiao, she has been such a delicate girl since she was a child, and seeing this homework made her head ache.

When it was Chinese New Year, Fujin from various prefectures came to the palace to pay a visit, and one after another mentioned the matter of Princesses doing their homework.

Jiu Fujin said: "I've never seen a child so serious. She flipped through books to find allusions, and even asked her Ama for advice on business, like a little adult."

Thirteen Fujin also smiled and said: "My daughter is also like this, she was stunned for a moment by asking our Thirteenth Master."

Fourteen Fujin said: "Our patriarch was not in a daze, he was disliked. He said something, my daughter refuted it, and I heard that it made sense."

No matter how you look at your own child, everyone can't stop boasting about their own child.

Knowing that the children are so motivated, Shuwan is naturally happy.

"Okay! They have worked so hard to prepare, and when they come back, if they don't answer well, I will be annoyed."

Everyone hurriedly vouched for their daughter, "Empress, don't worry about checking, she can't be wrong."
