"People say that if you don't lead the family, you don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. The people in the world only know that the royal wealth and glory are great, but they don't know that there are great difficulties."

Nan Yan said softly: "The emperor doesn't have to let those common people understand."

“…”

"Everyone understands it, that's mediocre."

“…”

"As long as everyone around you understands what the emperor is thinking, that's fine."

These words made Zhu Feng feel warm in his heart. He turned to look at her and smiled at her.

Nan Yan said again: "As for Lord Ruan's reward..."

Zhu Feng looked at her, but Nan Yan only smiled and did not finish this. Just then, Xinping in his arms seemed to understand it. He hugged Zhu Feng's neck and said softly: "Father, sons can wear common clothes."

"What?"

Zhu Feng was a little surprised when he heard her say this.

Xinping said: "What my brother said is that he will take the lead in the future and change his underwear from silk to cotton, so that he can save money."

“…”

"Your son can do it, too."

Zhu Feng's heart was warm and funny, and he couldn't help twisting her cheeks, and then said, "You are really my little cotton-padded jacket."

"whee."

"But no matter how short it is, it will not be on your head. My daughter should use the best things in the world. Let your brother wear them for clothing."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "The emperor cannot be biased."

Zhu Feng also smiled.

Then he said, "It is a good thing for the King of Wei to wear common clothes. He must let him know that this is how ordinary people live. The superiors need to work harder to make their people live a better life."

Nan Yan said: "If this is the case, then I will ask for an order to reduce the cost of silk in the harem in half."

"Um?"

When Zhu Feng heard this, he turned to look at her: "Half?"

Nan Yan said: "Empress Renxiao always advocated frugality during her lifetime, but the extravagance in the palace has been constantly. Since now, even the King of Wei is the first to lead the way, I think it is better to take this opportunity to pass on the order. This is a good thing."

“…”

Hearing this, Zhu Feng was silent for a while.

Then he turned his head and looked at the large group of concubines following them.

Of course, everyone also heard the words of the imperial concubine. When she heard her mention of the need to reduce the cost in the palace, someone immediately showed an unhappy expression, but when the emperor turned around, everyone smiled again.

Zhu Feng said: "The imperial concubine proposed to reduce the cost of silk in the harem by half. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but didn't speak.

The Osaka people naturally don’t want to, but they can’t understand that this offended the imperial concubine.

Concubine Shun smiled and said, "I think it's feasible."

Concubine Yi also said: "Even the King of Wei and the little princess have to wear cotton clothes. How can I let the children compete with each other?"

As he said that, he turned around and looked around: "You guys, right?"

Everyone could only smile: "Yes."

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then okay."

Everyone immediately leaned over to him and said, "I'm solemn to follow the will."

Everyone returned to Qingyin Pavilion. Although the emperor had just been promoted to Shen Lianxiang when he left, the atmosphere was completely different from before. Everyone was dejected because of the halving of the cost, and not many people remember to congratulate her.

Moreover, after listening to the play for a while, Princess Xinping began to doze off.

Zhu Feng looked at him lying in his arms, his head kept calming down little by little, like a puppy, and couldn't help laughing.

Nan Yan shook his head and said, "I must be tired from going out just now."

Zhu Feng waved his hand and asked Lingyou on the stage to stop, looked at the sky outside again, and then said, "Okay, if it's too late today, let's stop today. Everyone goes back to rest and listen to the opera tomorrow."

Everyone stood up and said, "Yes."

So Zhu Feng personally picked up Princess Xinping and walked out. The imperial concubine naturally followed him and left Qingyin Pavilion.

When both of them left, the people who stayed in Qingyin Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief.

They also showed an unhappy expression.

The talented man Xin Mimi muttered, "The Imperial Concubine is so generous. As soon as she opens her mouth, she reduces half of our expenses, as if she doesn't need it herself."

Kang Biyun sneered and said, "The Imperial Concubine is favored. Even if she doesn't need it, the emperor will reward her with another reward."

“…”

"It's not like us, we're just waiting for this amount of money. Now, half of it has been taken away."

The people next to them also said dissatisfiedly: "Now, it's still the Chinese New Year. I haven't had such a poor year."

"Yes, we concubines are becoming more and more awesome than ordinary village women."

Everyone was talking all the time. At this time, Xin Mimi turned her head to look at Shen Lianxiang, whose face was gloomy, stepped forward and said with a blessing, "By the way, I forgot to congratulate Shen Jie, no, it's Empress Jingpin."

Shen Lianxiang looked up at her.

Although it was a good thing to enthrone just now, her face was also very ugly.

Xin Mimi smiled and said, "If it is a common title, it is a great thing. However, just as you have just enthroned, the imperial concubine has reduced the cost of the palace by half, then your reward will be."

Shen Lianxiang's teeth were clenched.

But he smiled a little and said calmly: "What's this?"

“…”

"The way to overcome poverty is to reduce it by half, and at least half."

At this time, Concubine Shun finally said, "Okay, don't talk about it. The Concubine is also for the emperor and for the court. Everyone should go back and rest earlier."

Although the cost in the palace was reduced by half and everyone was not very happy, Concubine Shun was used to being frugal and had little impact on her. Although Concubine Yi lived a little more luxurious life than others, her mother's family had a greater career and often subsidized her, but it did not have much impact.

So, the two of them left without saying much.

Shen Lianxiang also left Qingyin Pavilion.

Although she seemed very calm, when she returned to Yanxi Palace and closed the door, she was so angry that she pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and threw it to the ground.

Fu'er hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the golden hairpin, and said softly: "Don't be angry with Concubine Jing."

“…”

"Isn't it a good thing today? The Empress finally got her wish and was promoted. Why are she still angry?"

Shen Lianxiang gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Concubine, she is indeed targeting me!"

“…”

"Today, I was promoted, and I should have let the emperor stay here, but she, with her daughter, lured the emperor to her place."

“…”

"And, the cost in the palace will be reduced by half!"

“…”

"I just got promoted, so she immediately asked for an order to reduce the cost by half. This is not for me!"

“…”
