Of course, it is said that it is a good reception, but in fact there is nothing to entertain, because everyone in the palace has a quota of things, and the food is not like modern refrigerators. In ancient times, it would not last long without a refrigerator, so it is usually It will be used up the same day it is distributed.
In other words, you can only serve the people who come with the food that is given out on the day. It is better for the lower-ranking concubines. They may be able to eat the things that Linlang, a position like her, can give out, but the low-ranking concubines cannot give out. They can have a taste; but they have a higher status than Linlang, and they all have what Linlang has here. If they come to eat, they have just eaten, so naturally they can't eat it, so they just come to Linlang's place to sit around.
In fact, there are naturally places to sell things in the palace, where you can buy things other than those in the palace. In this way, Linlang does not have anything that the high-ranking concubines can eat. Linlang wants to entertain those high-ranking concubines with something fresh. Things are also possible.
It’s just that because those things are operated by a monopoly and are very expensive, Linlang has no interest in spending money in those places and feeding the managers of those places.
Besides, let her spend hundreds of times the price to buy food, unless she is crazy, she has that kind of money, it would be great to spend it on the flop eunuch, at least it can buy lucky opportunities. Can continue to advance.
Spending ten taels of silver to buy a tea egg or something like that is a waste.
Furthermore, those high-ranking concubines all want to win over Linlang, or have ulterior motives to make Linlang fight with Li Fei and others, so it doesn't matter if Linlang doesn't buy anything to entertain them.
But when the high-ranking concubines saw them coming, Linlang didn't buy anything, and she still scolded Linlang for being stingy.
Linlang didn't care whether they scolded her or not. Her promotion had nothing to do with them anyway. She wasn't afraid that they would blow pillows in front of the emperor and say bad things about herself, so naturally she didn't need to care about their attitudes.
Like other low-ranking concubines, if there are high-ranking concubines who are willing to take care of them, in order to please those high-ranking concubines, they may actually buy some things that the high-ranking concubines do not have to please the high-ranking concubines, not to try to replace them in front of the emperor. When they say something nice, they are in front of the emperor and don't say bad things about them.
But because Linlang was promoted through the Dream Talisman to impress the emperor, she naturally didn't need to curry favor with this group of people and let them scold her for being stingy.
Besides, why can’t we eat the cakes and fruits given out by the palace every day? Everyone gathers together to chat, so why can’t we eat these cakes and fruits? They must feel that they are in the palace Youfa, there's nothing good to eat here, so if you don't like it, you don't have to come. It's not like she invited them here. If they still dislike her because there's nothing fresh to eat here, Linlang won't tolerate them.
Those people saw Linlang as being stingy, but there was nothing they could do about it. Seeing that Linlang was someone they wanted to win over, they had no choice but to forget it.
But I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, thinking about the other low-ranking concubines, who wouldn't be attentive when they come?
You must know that before they came, they thought that Linlang's ability to repeatedly flip cards was probably because of the money he spent. In other words, Linlang was rich, and coming to Linlang would not only win her over, but also make her She spent money to buy some expensive food that they would usually be reluctant to buy to entertain herself and satisfy herself.
Little did he know that Linlang wouldn't buy it at all, she was too stingy. In fact, they were also wondering where Linlang got the money. After all, hadn't they heard that Sun Linlang was born in the countryside and his family had no money? Where did you get the money to bribe the eunuch who turned over?
Next time, let someone inquire and ask about Sun Linlang.
Linlang is not afraid that these people will find out that she comes from a bad background and has no money to turn over cards, because it is very simple, so what if they find out, they are going to say that she has no money. Flip the cards and question where she got the money? But, how do they prove that she spent money flipping cards? Do you want those eunuchs who turned over cards to say that they took money to let Linlong be turned over? How is that possible!
If you admit it, you are trying to make money for the eunuchs who are making the mistake, and it is like killing people's parents, like killing their parents. No, it's not just about cutting off people's money. If the emperor knows about it, I'm afraid it will all be done. Those who want to be beheaded will only admit it if they are stupid. Not only will they lose their wealth, but they will also lose their heads. No matter how hard the concubines bribe them, no eunuch will admit it.
Not only that, once those eunuchs saw that a concubine came into contact with them and wanted one of them to tell them about it so that they could deal with Linlang, it would be fine if those people would not agree, but they would also be afraid that the concubine would be serious and insist on it. Check, I'm afraid they will find a way to deal with the concubine first - maybe they will kill her and silence her, so that the whole thing will be settled, lest the other party is still alive and will continue to deal with this matter and bring danger to them.
If any of the flop eunuchs got into trouble and was bribed by the concubine, and really planned to tell the story, I am afraid that even the eunuch who planned to tell the truth would be killed.
So, whoever dares to admit this matter, who dares to say it out, once admitted and said out, what kind of fate will happen to the concubine who is holding the matter, and the eunuch who admits it, Linlang can imagine, After all, it touches the interests of too many people.
Besides, the concubine who is holding on to this matter is afraid that she has spent money to buy the opportunity to turn over the cards, and what will she do if her head is found? In order to question the unknown source of Linlang's money, he finally got involved in it, which was not a good deal.
As long as the eunuch doesn’t admit that Linlang spent money, there is no way to prove that Linlang spent money, so how can there be any doubt?
So after they find out that the Sun family's eldest family has no money, they will whisper in their hearts where Linlang's money comes from, but they will never make it public because there is no way to prove that Linlang spent the money and there is no way to make it public.
In this case, Linlang is not afraid at all that they will find out that she has no money.
Of course, if the other party really planned to fight her to the death and insisted on investigating this matter, the flop eunuch was not smart enough to confess that she had indeed spent money to buy the qualification for the flop, and then the concubine questioned She not only has to explain the origin of her money clearly, but she may also be punished for giving money to the eunuch who flopped cards. What should she do then...
This is not too difficult to solve.
First of all, if something like this really happened, and almost all the unfavored concubines in the palace had given money to the eunuch, it would be unreasonable for the emperor to only punish himself and not other concubines. After all, there is no punishment. Public.
If the emperor is a coward—of course he is not—and insists on punishing only himself and no one else, then Linlang can also try using the Dream Talisman to change his mind.
If it doesn’t work, just punish him. Pay the eunuch who turned over the cards to put the sign in front. The person who turned over the sign in the end is not the emperor, and he is not forcing the emperor to turn over the sign. What are you afraid of? The punishment he receives is at most confinement and a fine of salary. It should not be relegated to the cold palace or even a white silk ribbon. (End of this chapter)
