  Chapter 448 Dare to ask for bribes, aren't you afraid of peeling the last grass? !

   "Five thousand taels?"

  Shang Jinghui didn't expect that the Liang An Women's Club would ask for so much money directly.

  This girl Liang An put her hands on her hips, shook her chest, and smiled disdainfully: "That's right!"

  Shang Jinghui frowned after hearing this, and asked: "It's so much, aren't you afraid of being skinned?!"

   "Hey! If you want to give it, don't give it, if you don't give it, get out of here! This is the princess mansion, what kind of kingly method is used to scare the old lady!"

  The girl Liang An suddenly changed her face, and directly pushed Shang Jinghui.

  Xiao Chan, who was accompanying Shang Jinghui, saw this and hurriedly said, "You are bold! How dare you push our concubine!"

"snort!"

  Liang Annv disagrees.

   "Yo! What happened?"

  Concubine Zhou was entrusted by Concubine Zheng to take care of Princess Shouning for her earlier, so she would occasionally visit Princess Shouning so as not to really make Concubine Zheng blame her by nature.

   It so happened that on this day, Concubine Zhou came to Princess Shouning.

When Liang Annv saw that it was Concubine Zhou, the villain complained first, walked over and knelt in front of Concubine Zhou, and burst into tears: "Ms. Concubine, you must be the master of this old slave! Otherwise, this old slave will not Alive, woo woo!"

"What's going on here?"

   "Ma'am, get up and tell me carefully?"

  The high-status maids in the palace are generally honored as madam, so Concubine Zhou also referred to Liang Annu as madam.

  Liang Annu cried and said: "The princess of Dongping Palace insists on coming to see the princess at this time. I said that His Highness has already fallen asleep. Who knows that the princess doesn't believe it and wants to force her way in!"

   "Why did you ever say that the princess has fallen asleep? Besides, I was obviously summoned by the princess."

   Shang Jinghui argued.

   "Nonsense!"

  Liang Annv shouted loudly, and then said: "She wants to force her way in. For the sake of the princess' face, I will naturally stop this old slave!"

"But who knows, she slandered me, saying that I was asking for a bribe, and that I insisted on a bribe of five thousand pieces of gold, and that she wanted to peel me off. Toffee Empress, listen, how can there be such evil in this world?" A man, woo woo! Relying on his own husband's power to throw himself into the court, he also followed suit! Rather than being wronged and stripped of his bark, this old slave might as well just die now! woo woo!"

   Concubine Zhou feigned surprise after hearing this: "There is such a thing?"

  Liang Annu continued to cry and said: "The old slave still dares to lie, who would have nothing to provoke the concubine of King Dongping, the concubine, you know, that is the uncle of the country who has power over the government and the public!"

  Concubine Zhou also looked at Shang Jinghui angrily.

   Shang Jinghui's refusal to ask Zhang Gui for the stock rights for King Rui had already made her hold a grudge.

  Now seeing Liang Annv saying that Shang Jinghui is going to peel the last of the housekeeper next to Princess Shouning and her own cousin, she immediately looked at Shang Jinghui like a flame.

  Shang Jinghui hurriedly explained: "I don't, I really don't!"

Snapped!

  Concubine Zhou came over and slapped Shang Jinghui directly, causing Shang Jinghui's pretty face to burn on the spot, and her eyes like autumn water burst into tears instantly.

Concubine Zhou gritted her teeth and said to Shang Jinghui: "Others are afraid of your Dongping Palace, but I am not afraid! It is nothing more than forcing me to death like Concubine Liu and Concubine Li! If you force my son to death again! What's the matter now! Your Zhang family is already riding on my Zhu family's head, and it's meaningless to live carefully, so you might as well tear your face from now on!"

Although Concubine Zhou said so, in fact, she dared to do it now, only because she already knew Shang Jinghui's character very well, knew that she was the kind of gentle and unwilling to fight, and because she came from a noble family, she paid special attention to Confucianism The emphatic upbringing and respect for the elders will become so aggressive at this time.

  Shang Jinghui did not say anything more, and even held back the maid Xiaochan who wanted to argue for her again, but left with a little self-ashamedness and fear and hurriedly left Princess Shouning's mansion.

  Shang Jinghui didn't say this to Zhang Gui after returning home. She didn't want such an incident to stir up trouble in the city, so that more people would say that Zhang Gui was domineering and ignored the concubine.

It's just that on this day, Shang Jinghui came to the queen again. Because the queen knew that Shang Jinghui had gone to Shouning Princess' mansion, she asked about the situation of her going to Shouning Princess' mansion. What happened to the princess mansion was informed to the queen.

  Queen Zhang Yan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then asked, "Does Brother She know about this?"

   "Where do you know!"

Shang Jinghui replied with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty should know that Your Highness and His Majesty have the same explosive temperament. If you really know, but no matter who is elder or not, it doesn't matter whether you are friendly or not, even if you recite The infamy of the next tyrant and powerful official must first uphold the king's law."

  Zhang Yan smiled and nodded: "You are right!"

Then, Zhang Yan held Shang Jinghui's hand and said, "It's right for you not to speak out. For a while, the weather will be calm; if you take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter. Our Zhang family has already got enough holy families. The world's dignitaries, especially It's the clan, so I don't know how jealous our Zhang family is, and the civil servants may not be willing to see our Zhang family always be so good."

"The last time my younger brother refused to return to the capital willfully, he caused dissatisfaction among the powerful and bureaucrats in the city. I was really worried for him that this would make the people of the world hate the Zhang family deeply. Fortunately, he finally gave His Majesty face and returned home. Beijing."

"But everyone knows that the powerful and bureaucrats in the city will not stop being jealous of my Zhang family because of this, especially thinking that if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the Zhang family of the later family will undoubtedly be more prosperous with fire and flowers. , I’m afraid the heart of jealousy is even heavier. Now, as the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, it’s really rare for you to be so knowledgeable and not domineering. After all, you are worthy of being the daughter of the eastern Zhejiang gentry, who is knowledgeable and respectful!”

  Shang Jinghui pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "If you talk about general knowledge, you can't compare with your empress. Back then, Concubine Li slapped your empress, but your empress didn't say anything about her."

  Zhang Yan sighed: "Speaking of which, our Majesty is very clear about what he likes and what he hates, but he didn't show mercy just because Concubine Li is an elder."

   "Your Majesty has no choice but to do it. Concubine Li did commit a big taboo at that time!"

  Shang Jinghui said.

  Zhang Yan nodded: "I know."

Then, Zhang Yan smiled wryly as if she had realized something, and said, "We are women after all, so it is inevitable that we have the kindness of women. You should tell your younger brother about this matter. Husband and wife dare not hide it. Your Majesty hates it the most." I kept it from him, presumably the same is true of my younger brother. But after you tell him, you must persuade him, it is easy for the emperor to kill the concubine and leave a bad name, let alone a foreign relative."

"yes!"

  …

   "Royal shares are not allowed either!"

  When Shang Jinghui returned to the Dongping Palace, Zhang Gui rejected Huiwang Zhu Changrun's request to help him persuade Tianqi to give him a part of the royal shares in Hanhai Coal Mine, and said:

   "The shares of the royal family are the foundation for the emperor and future emperors to maintain the majesty of the royal family. Although you are the clan, you cannot shake the foundation of the royal family!"

Snapped!

Zhu Changrun was a grumpy man, he slapped the table and got up and said: "Zhang Gui! I didn't say anything about the part of the imperial treasury, but the royal shares. It has nothing to do with you, but I just want you to pass a message to His Majesty. It’s just words, you don’t need to talk about it? I want your Zhang family to take care of my Zhu family’s affairs?!”

"It is clear that the emperor is a good emperor. It is your Uncle Zhang Guo's reputation as a bad emperor, which has caused him to be known as being stingy with his clan! The empress and your concubine are more knowledgeable than you. After being slapped by the concubine Zhou, I also know that your lord Don't study! Instead, you dare to teach Gu directly, Gu is the emperor's uncle, so it's not your turn to shout here!"

   Zhang Gui's face darkened upon seeing this.
