Chapter 1047

Yan Cairen stuffed two silver ingots into the little eunuch's hand.

This is the money for him to inquire about the news.

The little eunuch kept complaining. He was just an ordinary eunuch. He had no power and limited contacts. How could he hear the news from Yunxiu palace?

Everyone knows that Yunxiu palace is the territory of the imperial concubine. The emperor has to spend the night there almost every day. The whole Yunxiu palace is organized like an airtight iron bucket.

When the Empress Dowager was still in the palace, it was difficult to put his hand into Yunxiu palace, let alone such a small eunuch.

But Yan Cairen had already spoken. As a slave, he didn't dare not obey, so he had to bite the bullet.

"Well, I'll do it now."

The little eunuch racked his brains and carefully inquired about the news, but he still couldn't hide it from the others in the palace.

The matter soon reached Cao Nuo's ears.

Cao Nuo has served the emperor for a long time. He knows how much the emperor attaches to the imperial concubine, so he always wants to sell the imperial concubine a favor.

But he was very knowledgeable and knew that the imperial concubine obviously trusted father-in-law Chang more than herself.

If he crossed father-in-law Chang and went directly to the imperial concubine to report the news, without saying what father-in-law chang would think, the imperial concubine alone would not necessarily take what he said to heart.

So Cao Nuo went to Yunxiu palace himself.

The gate of Yunxiu palace was still closed. Cao Nuo waited at the door for a while before waiting for father-in-law Chang to come out.

Cao Nuo has noticed that the alert level of Yunxiu Palace today is much higher than usual, but he has always been aware of current affairs and knows that curiosity is the last thing in this harem.

So he didn't ask a word, and directly passed on the news he learned to father-in-law Chang.

After hearing this, father-in-law Chang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yan Cairen is living too comfortably."

Cao Nuo said in a low voice, "I have sent orders to ensure that Yan Cairen can't find any useful information."

Father-in-law Chang smiled and said slowly in a clear tone: "don't worry, the imperial concubine and empress will remember your kindness."

With this promise, Cao Nuo immediately had a bottom in his heart.

He also laughed: "it's my honor to work for the imperial concubine and empress. I dare not say human feelings."

The earthworm in the bedroom is very hot and the heating is very warm.

Xiao Xi sat beside the bed and looked at Luo QingHan who was sleepy.

Father Chang stood at the door and saluted.

"The servant paid a visit to the imperial concubine."

Xiao Xi recovered and turned to look at him.

"What's the matter?"

Duke Chang: "just now Cao Nuo reported that Yan Cairen was quietly inquiring about things in Yunxiu palace."

Xiao Xi Xi: "do something for her. Don't let her get too busy."

Duke Chang: "now Wanhai city is fighting with Qiandao country, and the war in Nanyue is not over yet. The war preparation materials are relatively tight, especially the materials for winter protection.

Why don't Yan Cairen help to make some cotton padded jackets and bedding for the border officers and soldiers?

Although this is only a drop in the bucket, it can at least set an example for people all over the world and make border officers and soldiers feel the care from their home and country. "

Xiao Xixi thought: "since you want to support the border, you can't rely on a strict talent alone. Let the other concubines in the palace make cotton padded jackets and bedding together. Before the new year, everyone must finish at least 100 sets of cotton padded jackets and ten bedding, and you will be rewarded."

The high-ranking concubines in the palace are basically gone. Now all the remaining concubines are low-ranking concubines like Yan Cairen.

Although they can't stir up big winds and waves, they don't know what kind of moths they will make if they let it go.

It's OK on weekdays. They don't need Xi Xi's hand. Others can press them down.

But now is a special time. The emperor is sleepy. This news must be kept secret. The palace can't stand a little waves.

Xiao Xixi found something to do for them to divert their attention, so that they wouldn't think about things like Yan Cairen.

That evening, the imperial concubines in the palace received the order sent by the imperial concubine to make cotton padded jackets and bedding for the border officers and soldiers. There were still requirements for the quantity.

Yan Cairen was waiting for the little eunuch to inquire about the changes in Yunxiu palace.

I didn't expect such bad news.

A hundred sets of cotton padded jackets and 30 beds of bedding are too difficult for a weak woman like her who doesn't touch the spring water.

Yan Cairen asked carefully, "what if you can't finish the number requested by the imperial concubine?"

Cao Nuo smiled: "then keep doing it until you complete the quantity required by the imperial concubine and empress."

Yan Cairen was stunned.

Isn't this tantamount to putting her under house arrest in a disguised form?!

She was very angry, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

She asked cautiously with the last glimmer of hope.

"Does the emperor know this?"

Cao Nuo asked, "what do you say?"

Yan Cairen choked and his heart suddenly cooled.

It's impossible for the emperor not to know such a big thing.

Since the emperor knows and doesn't stop it, it means that the emperor only supports the imperial concubine.

Yan Cairen had nothing to say and watched Cao Nuo leave.

As soon as they left, Yan Cairen immediately pulled down his face and grabbed the handkerchief with his fingers. The jealousy in his eyes was so strong that it almost overflowed.

It's humiliating to let the emperor's concubines make clothes and bedding for the lowly soldiers at the border!

The imperial concubine is fooling around!

But the emperor tolerated the mischief of the imperial concubine.

In the eyes of the emperor, only the imperial concubine could be seen.

As long as the imperial concubine is still alive, the emperor can't notice other women!

Although the concubines of other palaces were surprised by the sudden decision of the imperial concubine, they were not as angry as Yan Cairen.

Anyway, the emperor wouldn't call them lucky at ordinary times. They were also idle. It was good to find something to spend time. Moreover, the imperial concubine said that there was a reward for completing the task. They wanted to know what kind of reward they could get?

The imperial concubines began to get busy because of the imperial concubine's order.

At this time, the imperial concubine was also very busy.

She is busy reading memorials.

The emperor was sleepy and couldn't go to the court, but the memorial had to be approved, otherwise the courtiers would immediately know that something had happened to the emperor.

Finally, there was no way. Xiao Xixi could only review the memorial by imitating Luo QingHan's handwriting.

Fortunately, Luo QingHan's marking style is the same as his own character. They are concise and clear, and cherish words like gold.

In most cases, she just needs to draw a red circle at the end of the memorial and seal it with a jade seal, which means that the emperor has reviewed it, and the three provinces and six departments can implement it according to the contents of the memorial.

There are also a few memorials that cannot be passed directly.

These memorials are divided into two categories——

One is to reject directly and refuse to pass. Xiao Xixi needs to imitate the emperor's handwriting and write a word no with a Zhu pen.

The other kind needs further discussion, which is more troublesome. The emperor needs to write specific opinions, at least more than a dozen words, or even hundreds of words.
