Concubine Mo said slowly,

"The Emperor hasn't been to the harem for a few days. I'm going to have a look."

Mo Jingchen looked worried and comforted,

"Little aunt, you are feeling heavy now and it is not appropriate to get angry ... "

Concubine Mo was a little impatient and interrupted him,

"Don't worry about it! I'm dozens of years old. I know what I can and can't say. Just go back."

Mo Jingchen cursed:

[Forget it, instead of letting my little aunt hold her anger in her heart, it would be better for her to bring some discomfort to the emperor]

[Otherwise, King Duan retreated unscathed this time, and he would have thought that our side has no fighting power]

[We can’t let him be crowned king so cheaply! 】

[Also let the emperor know that it is not that easy to support a power that can be divided into two parts by King Duan and King North.]

Xiao Ye heard Mo Jingchen's thoughts and immediately changed his mind about persuading his mother and concubine:

Everything Jingchen said is right!

The mother-in-law loves her as much as she wants, anyway, the father dotes on her.

Whose person, whoever provoked it, and whoever is responsible for coaxing it, there is nothing wrong with it!

Concubine Mo is not here to bring trouble to the emperor, she is here to flatter him!

There is no love in the heart, and the god of nature draws his sword.

Concubine Mo's mind is now filled with the glory of the Mo family.

In order for the Mo family to regain its former glory, couldn't she hold the emperor's thigh and climb up as hard as she could?

Concubine Mo knew very well that although the King of Zhenbei called her dear to her mother and concubine, after all, he was the son of another woman, so how could he be trusted?

Concubine Mo told the emperor that in the coming year, there will be beautiful girls entering the palace, and the newcomers cannot be made to think that the old people are not living well, and the old people must be given a place in the palace.

In this way, the newlyweds can have a smooth life, and their parents can better serve the emperor.

The emperor was extremely stingy towards the concubines in his harem, not only in terms of money but also in terms of position, not being promoted once in more than ten years.

Many concubines remained just official women until they died.

When the emperor heard this, Mo Qingwu actually stopped arguing with him. He also understood that he wanted to take the concubine in order to stabilize the government, so he happily agreed.

"This is all the fault of Concubine Mo."

Concubine Mo kept her eyes open:

After being promoted to a noble concubine, there are now four concubines and none of them.

So, with a stroke of her pen, she arranged for Shun concubine to be promoted to Shun concubine, and the other three, all dead concubines, were posthumously named concubines.

Anyway, the honor and favor of the natal family are the same for concubines after their death and canonization while they are still alive.

For the harem, the difference between the dead and the living is huge.

Xiao Ye's mother-in-law also changed from an official woman who didn't deserve a name to a pure concubine named Li Tao.

The name was placed on the royal jade plate, and the coffin was carried into the concubine's mausoleum.

Xiao Ye was overjoyed when the imperial decree for the posthumous title arrived at Zhenbei Palace.

“My mother-in-law is really doing great things in silence.

My mother-in-law finally has a memorial tablet.

Did the two of us underestimate our mother and concubine? "

"Um ... "

Mo Jingchen's expression didn't look very happy, and his mood was really heavy:

[It’s over, my little aunt is now focused on fighting in the palace. Once a prince is born, he will no longer support Xiaosi]

[She will definitely kidnap me with family affection and ask me to support the little prince she gave birth to and become the prince ... ]

[And she relies on her kindness to Xiaosi to prevent her from falling out with her. Doesn’t this make it difficult for Xiaosi to be a good person ... ]

[Little aunt, you are very good at doing things ... ]

This is not the only thing that Concubine Mo can do.

Concubine Mo also used her status as a concubine to distribute rewards to low-ranking concubines in various palaces.

The reason is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and I want to buy some new clothes for my sisters.

Regardless of rank, every empress has one thousand taels of silver, which can be said to be very generous.

Because the salary of a concubine is only two hundred taels a year.

Moreover, in recent years, the emperor has been very stingy towards his harem. Not only did he lack food and clothing, he also often withheld salaries to use as military expenses.

The concubines had no choice but to harbour their grievances, because the emperor himself had always advocated frugality.

The only exception is Concubine Mo’s treatment.

However, the silver that Concubine Mo received was not given by the Emperor; it was her dowry.

Back then, Mo Qingwu was going to marry the King of Chu as a concubine. Mo's parents passed away early, and the wedding was arranged by Mo Ziqi alone.

He wished he could empty the Mo family's house and give it as a dowry to his sister.

Firstly, Mo Ziqi felt that his sister, the daughter of a noble family, was married into the Chu Palace as a concubine, so her dowry must surpass that of the principal wife in order to have face and to have confidence in living in the palace in the future.

Back then, the Baili Hongzhuang that was brought to Mo Qingwu were all real and valuable items.

There is countless gold and silver among them.

After all, the Mo family was a wealthy family, with three chief ministers and two queens. Their ancestors were truly rich.

Secondly, at that time, the King of Chu controlled part of the army, but the prince was stuck in the household department and was often short of funds.

Mo Ziqi wanted to use this method to prevent the King of Chu from being too strapped for money.

However, back then, even if the emperor tightened his belt and ate rice bran with the soldiers, he still did not touch Mo Qingwu's dowry.

At the most difficult time, Mo Qingwu offered to take out the dowry to help him tide over the difficulties, which even made the emperor furious.

"Only the most worthless man in the world would touch a woman's dowry."

Therefore, the generous dowry has been in Mo Qingwu's hands all these years.

It can be said that Concubine Mo is the richest woman in the harem!

A reward of one thousand taels of silver from a palace is just a drop in the bucket for Concubine Mo.

However, for these concubines who lived a hard life in the harem, it was really a New Year.

Not only was he promoted, but he also received a real reward. If not Concubine Mo, who should he thank?

With one move, Concubine Mo reversed her poor reputation among the concubines over the years.

"Concubine Mo is not as arrogant and domineering as before."

"Yeah, I'm going to be a mother soon, and my temperament has improved."

"The queen's son was crowned king, but she didn't give him any reward. This comparison shows the difference."

The New Year is coming.

Before the Chinese New Year, Concubine Chun's coffin was moved to the concubine's mausoleum.

Mo Jingchen accompanied Xiao Ye to pay homage to his biological mother.

In the past, Concubine Chun was very kind to little Mo Jingchen. She made him a winter coat, which was very thick and warm.

I had never worn such warm cotton clothes before ...

I also made cakes for myself and put a lot of sugar in them, which were very sweet ...

Unfortunately, she was seriously ill and did not survive that winter.

Mo Jingchen knelt in front of Concubine Chun's memorial tablet, recalling the past in his heart.

[When I was a child, I didn’t understand medical science. Now that I think about it, the death of Princess Chunfei is full of weirdness]

[She had always been in good health, how could she pass away because of a cold?]

[There are many tricks to fight for favor in the harem, and it is not difficult to make people die of illness]

[However, after so many years, it has long been impossible to verify]
