Chapter 214 The Mistress Is Too Bored 14
After Mrs. Zhou passed away and the third wife left, Linlang no longer cared about who would be the emperor in the court. , or the queen, it doesn't matter, no matter who takes the throne, it is none of their business.
The Cheng'en Palace stopped paying for the third house, especially after Mrs. Zhou died. After a large amount of expenses were reduced, a lot of money was gradually saved. No matter who takes the throne in the future, Cheng'en will The benefactor's house was rich, and the title guaranteed status. Although no one in the family was an official in the court, and the actual power was a little less, it was enough to have status and money, and Linlang didn't have high requirements.
Yes, although Mrs. Zhou is only one person, she has a lot of expenses every year. There is no way, she is Zhou Guogong's stepmother in name, so the treatment given to her is the best in the family, no matter it is Monthly dividends and year-end dividends are both the highest. In addition, the additional monthly expenditures from the company are also the highest.
Including the people who serve her, it will cost a lot in a year.
Of course, Mrs. Zhou doesn't need much for herself. She got all these for Mr. Wednesday.
For example, every month, extra expenses other than the monthly money need to be paid with the approval of Duke Zhou. Generally speaking, Duke Zhou will not give it to ordinary people. After all, the government only has so much money. He also didn't want anyone in the house to keep coming to pay him money in addition to his monthly salary. But when Mrs. Zhou came to ask for money, he would approve it as long as it did not exceed the limit set by Duke Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou, on the other hand, was not polite and paid every month, spending all her limit.
After all, she was the stepmother of Duke Zhou, and it was difficult for Duke Zhou to refuse. As a result, Mrs. Zhou had made a lot of money from her husband to give to her third wife over the years.
It is even said that the big house accounts for the majority of the property, but because of the extra money paid to Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou Zhou over the years, as well as the money to support the third house, it is equivalent to taking away the big house. With a small amount of money, the property obtained by dividing the family from the big house may not necessarily be a big one.
It's a pity that all those properties were lost after they fell into the hands of Master Zhou. It was a waste.
It’s okay now. Without Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou making money from Dafang, Dafang could save money, which has not increased over the years, even because Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou are so capable. After spending time, some of the property decreased and gradually increased.
Linlang didn't care about who became the prince or the emperor. Of course, if the person who was about to take the throne was going to be detrimental to the Cheng'en Palace and affect her leisurely life, wouldn't that be right? Stay, she might take action After all, Duke Chengen's Palace doesn't care about any princes at the moment. In this way, any prince who ascends to the throne will have no reason to cause trouble for Duke Chengen's Palace. If he does, it will definitely be their fault. Then Linlang will naturally Counterattack.
At present, it seems that the imperial concubine is at a disadvantage, but after the second prince loses competitiveness, it is not certain whether the eldest prince can become the crown prince, because the new favorite concubine is already pregnant and has a child. The emperor now particularly likes this beloved concubine, and also likes this old man. He seems to like the imperial concubine and the second prince in the past, but it is not certain what will happen in the future.
For example, if the current emperor lives longer, the emperor might be wary of the eldest prince in front of him, let alone the prince. He thinks that the prince has grown up and is in the prime of life. Will he dislike him? If I stand in the way, I will become the Supreme Emperor, and then the young prince will be safer.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Linlang. She is only responsible for eating.
Speaking of which, the melons in the palace must be delicious at the moment. After all, the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, and the second prince has fallen out of favor. The new couple has been promoted to the imperial concubine like a rocket due to their merit in giving birth to children, and has become the most favored concubine Wang, and has successfully given birth to a child. As the most favored prince, you can imagine what kind of chaos the palace will become. The imperial concubine will definitely fight with Wang Guifei. As for the Queen, is she really happy to see such a scene?
Before Concubine Wang failed to gain favor, she might have hoped that Concubine Wang would be favored. After Concubine Wang became favored, especially after the prince was successfully born, the queen may not necessarily like Concubine Wang.
Although the other party's child is still very young and there is no need to worry about it yet, she still needs to be on guard. After all, she also thinks like Linlang, fearing that the emperor will still be alive for a long time. An adult son is not as safe as a minor son.
So although there is no need to worry about Concubine Wang's situation for the time being, when Concubine Wang and Concubine Huang are fighting, she can definitely fan the flames. The two of them will fight more and more fiercely. The most quarrelsome one will suffer both sides, and it will definitely be a disaster for her son. Good thing.
When the imperial concubine and Wang Guifei are fighting fiercely, if the empress also ends up, it will simply become a mess. No wonder people say that three women are making a show. When these three people get involved, it will definitely be a mess. A big drama.
Linlang’s guess was good, the fight in the palace was indeed fierce.
But the new beloved concubine Wang Guifei was so lucky that neither the queen nor the imperial concubine succeeded. On the contrary, the two of them were almost exposed and frightened. A big jump.
After all, once what they did is exposed, the emperor will definitely make trouble for them, and it will be funny then - the two people who have been fighting for their whole lives may fall out of favor at the same time, and their sons may also He may lose his inheritance rights at the same time and let Wang Guifei's son take the throne. Isn't this funny?
Because Concubine Wang's luck was so good, it frightened Concubine Huang and the Queen. As a result, they were quiet for a while after the accident and did not dare to continue to attack.
But this quietness is temporary. When Wang Guifei's son gets older, the battle for the reserve becomes fierce, and the three of them will inevitably fight with each other.
But that happened a long time later. After all, Concubine Wang’s son was only born not long ago. It will take some time when he gets older.
And just when the palace was fighting and then slowly calmed down, in Duke Chengen's mansion, Duke Zhou's health gradually became worse.
It is normal for Zhou Guogong's health to gradually deteriorate. As mentioned before, after his accident, he did not like to see people. Even if he recovered, he would not see people because he was afraid that people would see that his legs and feet were fully recovered. , but he was lame and was laughed at, so he hid in the small courtyard all day long and didn't move much. This was naturally not good for the body, so it was normal for the body to be damaged over time.
When Linlang occasionally went over to take a look at Zhou Guogong - of course, she had to get Zhou Guogong's consent before she could go in to see him, so as not to go in rashly. Zhou Guogong felt that Linlang deliberately came often to laugh at him - and also found that Zhou Guogong was not in good health. He may not live much longer, which makes Linlang couldn't help but sigh, thinking how time has changed. When she first came here, Zhou Guogong looked like a handsome young man. Even if he was thirty or forty years old, he still looked handsome because of good maintenance. Who knows how many years later? , people are getting old and seriously ill and are about to die. Time flies too fast.
