There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains and call them kings.

Although the cold winter in the Old Summer Palace was getting worse, Yao Jiaxin's life became more and more prosperous. The Queen Mother was right, the Fourth Master had few harems, so it was not difficult to manage it. Once the Queen left, no one in the garden dared to offend her, the virtuous concubine. Yao Jiaxin naturally became more and more adept at managing it.

In mid-November, good news came from Princess Huaike's mansion. The princess gave birth safely and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. His Majesty the Fourth Master had his first granddaughter.

Although he was just a granddaughter, the Fourth Master was still very happy. On the third day of the sacrificial period, he issued an order directly to designate Huaike as Princess Gulun. This little girl who had just completed three dynasties was also named Gushan Princess. - Although Gushan Princess' rank is not very high among the noble daughters of the royal family, he is only the county prince, but he has always been a royal noble daughter who has enjoyed the title. Now he has given the newly born little princess of the Fucha family, which is really a great emperor.

In fact, if Huai Keruo gave birth to a boy, His Majesty the Fourth Master would not have such an extra reward.

Now that Concubine Qi has been demoted and imprisoned, the Fucha family dared not to treat the pregnant Princess Huaike, but His Majesty the Fourth Master is still worried that his daughter would suffer grievances, so while appointing her daughter as Princess Gulun, he even gave her gratitude to her little granddaughter.

Huaike is the eldest daughter of the emperor and the first Princess Gulun of this dynasty. For a moment, the mother and daughter were glorious and were incredibly glorious. Even the empress dowager gave a generous reward, let alone the concubines in the harem.

Yao Jiaxin also prepared a generous gift and ordered people to send it to Princess Gulun's Mansion, including a stroller carefully crafted by the construction office, which can be regarded as expressing her feelings.

Without the queen's annoyance and having a granddaughter, the Fourth Master has always been in a very happy mood.

Yao Jiaxin took advantage of the good mood of the Fourth Master and made a suggestion: "The garden is much colder than the palace, and most palace gardens are built next to the water. Some concubines with low positions are afraid that the charcoal rules are not enough. Can the emperor ask the Construction Department to contribute more charcoal?"

Yinzhen naturally refused to accept this small request. Tian'er has always been afraid of the cold. Although she now enjoys the cost of a concubine, the use of charcoal in winter is only 300 kilograms of red charcoal per month.

He waved his hand, "Then add another 50% of the red charcoal and black charcoal!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" In fact, Yao Jiaxin herself is not short of charcoal. In winter, the red charcoal is indeed only 300 kilograms per month, but there are a total of 1,200 kilograms of black charcoal. Although this black charcoal is not as resistant to burning as the red charcoal, the black charcoal sent to Yao Jiaxin is also the best-sized black charcoal that is quickly dried. When mixed with the red charcoal, it is also very prosperous to burn.

Yao Jiaxin’s main purpose is to show her grace to the Six Palaces.

Yinzhen grabbed Tian'er's little hand, but fortunately it was warm. "The Ula General Office has sent the tributes for this winter to the capital. There are the best minks, ginseng, and Dongzhu. I have rewarded some of the previous dynasty, and the rest will be given to you."

The Ula General Administration Office is located in the Longxing area of ​​the Little Xing'an Mountains. It specializes in hunting local specialties for the palace as tributes. In order to pay tribute, large areas of "Gongjiang" and "Gongshan" were even drawn. The entire Changbai Mountain and the entire Heilongjiang River basin are the territory of the Ula General Administration Office. With such a large area of ​​natural waters and forests, the richness of its products can be imagined. The Ula General Administration Office pays tribute to honey, royal jelly, sturgeons, and trout every spring, which is called spring tribute. In winter, the Dongzhu, ginseng, tanned mink, etc., which are collected in the year, are all tributed to Beijing, and are called annual tribute.

What we send now is New Year's tribute.

It is really a great right to distribute the annual tribute to the Ula General Administration Office.

In previous years, this right was the queen, and now it naturally belongs to her, the virtuous concubine who is in charge of the six palaces.

Yao Jiaxin smiled and accepted this beautiful misfortune.

Soon, the eunuch in charge of the Old Summer Palace, Zhang Bao, presented the tribute list, "First of all, this Dongzhu, the Big Dongzhu and the First-class Dongzhu respected the Empress Dowager 70%, and 30% were sent back to the palace to the Empress. Princess Huaike had just won the title of Princess Gulun, so she picked some second-class Dongzhu for her. The remaining three, four or five levels were left. According to the convention, the concubines in the Old Summer Palace were divided into one part. As for the ginseng and mink..."

Yao Jiaxin left a few more ginseng for herself without hesitation. The empress dowager naturally had to be filial at any place. The queen was sick and could not give less squid. The same was true for squid. Fortunately, the amount of tribute was very considerable, and the fourth master had few concubines, so Yao Jiaxin gave some more ginseng and squid skin regardless of the position. She also rewarded more ginseng and squid skin on the grounds that Ning Pin was weak. Yupin had a fifth prince, and he also gave more. Princess Huaike after giving birth naturally needed ginseng and squid skin to regulate her body and keep her warm.

Yao Jiaxin didn't keep much of it herself, and it was the same as Ning and Yupin. However, she was a concubine, and the amount of satin and leather used in winter was quite considerable, so it was quite sufficient.

The things sent to Danbo Ningjing Palace are the most considerable in terms of quantity and quality. After all, there is a person like the Empress Dowager, and if you don’t quickly give up your filial piety, wouldn’t this right be wasted?

After all this was allocated, it was already in the twelfth lunar month.

In Danbo Jingting Hall, Empress Dowager Wu Ya looked at the newly made sable cloak on the needlework and showed a satisfied look, "The marten sent this year is of excellent quality." - the weight is also higher than in previous years.

Madam Rui smiled and said, "It can be seen that Concubine Xian knows that you are filial to the Queen Mother."

The empress dowager smiled slightly, stroked the plump and soft hair of the sable, and said slowly: "The fairy concubine is indeed good at being a human being." - Even the one sent back to the palace was thick, and no one could get out of trouble.

Madam Rui whispered: "I have heard that the concubine of Da Dongzhu and the first and second-class Dongzhu have not left a single one for her. Most of them are filial to you, the Queen Mother." - The rest were given to the Queen and Princess Gulun Huaike.

The Empress Dowager smiled. With the position of Virtue, she could only enjoy the third-class Dongzhu. She did this and did a sufficient attitude of "restraining oneself and returning to courtesy".

The Nian Gong was quickly sent to the Forbidden City, with two large trucks.

After Lan Chi counted, she submitted the order to the queen's sickbed and returned to the palace to take care of her for a month. The queen's condition had improved, but she was still weak all day long.

The queen was already ready to be deducted by the concubine of the wise, but she didn't expect that after scanning the order, she didn't have to be young in previous years. The queen showed a surprised look.

Lan Chi hurriedly said, "Look at me, this should be what the emperor means. Empress, there are ten old ginseng in Changbai Mountain, six big East Pearls, thirty first-class East Pearls and fifty marten skins. I went to check it out. Each of the marten skins is the best material, and the old ginseng is also full of years! The emperor always remembers that the empress is still sick and needs good ginseng to nourish it."

The queen smiled, "After raising her for these days, I have stopped coughing much, but my body is still very weak."

Lan Chi said: "The illness is like getting rid of the silk, not to mention that the Queen Mother had been sleeping for two months before, which must have suffered a loss of her health and needed to be nourished."

The queen sighed quietly, "It seems that the emperor doesn't plan to return to Beijing for the New Year."

Hui Li next to him couldn't help but say angrily: "It must have been confused by the beautiful concubine of the fairy concubine!"

Lan Zi hurriedly said, "Empress, you are still weak, but you must not be angry. In fact, it is better for the emperor not to come back. If the emperor returns, you still have to support your sick body to welcome you, but you are afraid you will be tired again."

"Besides, the emperor has the Empress in his heart. Why don't he specifically allow the Empress's family to come to the palace to accompany you?" Lan Chi said with a smile.

The queen's face was relieved, "It's useless for me to be anxious now, so I can only take care of myself slowly and make a fool of myself!"
