Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 411 Rise and Fall

"Concubine Min is quite clever."

He's quite good at finding bargains wherever possible.

"Concubine Min?"

Shen Ningyue paused while helping Qin Zhi change his clothes.

When did this happen?

She had no impression at all.

How come she was suddenly promoted to the position of Concubine Min without any festival or achievement?

"I plan to promote Lanzhi to Concubine Min. Does Seventeen have any other opinions?" Qin Zhi said lazily.

Shen Ningyue shook her head. "Min Fei and I are both selected girls in the same year. She has served me for many years and has given birth to a son and a daughter. This year, the Eighth Prince has grown up and married. There is nothing wrong with giving her the dignity of a concubine."

"I was also going to find a chance to mention this to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty spoke first. I failed in my duty."

After saying that, Shen Ningyue gave Qin Zhi a sly smile.

"Slippery!"

Qin Zhi smiled and pushed Shen Ningyue's loose hair behind her head, gently kneading Shen Ningyue's earlobes.

"It's all your majesty's fault."

Shen Ningyue leaned over and hugged Qin Zhi's waist, looking back with a smile in her eyes.

Qin Zhi slowly stopped smiling and said sternly, "Since Concubine Zhen failed to supervise, she will be demoted to Concubine Zhen."

"As a member of the royal family, Lady Yi should cultivate her moral character, be careful with her words and deeds, and maintain the integrity of the government and the good morals of the world.

However, in his old age, he did not consider the emperor's grace and disregarded the honor of his family. He opened a brothel, which corrupted public morals, betrayed his country, tarnished his family name, and let down the Empress Dowager.

Now, because of this old incident, the imperial concubine was implicated, which attracted the attention of the world and brought shame to the royal family.

She should have been caned, stripped of her title as Lady of Yi State, and demoted to a commoner, but in consideration of her many years of service to the state and her willingness to donate 70% of her family wealth to the state treasury, she was demoted to Lady of Lanshan County and confined to the palace for half a year to reflect on her mistakes.

The fourth brother used the old story of the courtesan Qianshu Xueluoli on Qianqunyu Mountain to attack Lu Xinyin.

In order to protect herself and prevent Lao Liu from becoming the son of a criminal, Lu Xinyin would certainly push forward an important person to take the blame for her.

Lady Lu Liniang of Yi State, the most wealthy person in Dayong, the sister of Lu Xiyin, the mother of Lu Qingran, the concubine of the Sixth Prince, and the mother-in-law of the Sixth Prince, stood up and surrendered herself.

In this incident, if Lu Xinyin had not reacted in time and pushed Lu Li'niang out, but pushed the wrong person, then the fourth brother would have pushed Lu Xinyin and Lu Li'niang to the ground together.

No wonder the officials from the Ministry of Revenue were more excited than the censors, because they were attracted by Lu Liniang's money.

Lu Liniang relied on him to do business and made money for him. She also accumulated an enviable fortune and was crowned the richest man.

After this fall, all his savings accumulated over the years were lost in his treasury.

Too cruel.

Qin Zhi had a blank expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

It is said that he is taking the blame, but Lu Li'niang is the one who ate the fruits of her own labor. Others don't know about it, but doesn't he understand?

"Lü Xinyin", who opened a brothel before she reached the age of 15, and Lü Liniang, who was named Lady of the State of Yi by him, behaved and acted like the same person.

Did the fourth brother intend to destroy the sixth brother's future money bag from the very beginning?

By the way, can I borrow Lu Liniang's money to please him?

Use the people and the events to induce the censors and the ritual officials to speak, and use the benefits to induce the Ministry of Revenue to take action, and in the end achieve multiple goals with one move.

This kid has something.

The fourth and sixth brothers started fighting so quickly.

The fight was quite good, with some back and forth, worthy of being his son.

However, compared with the fourth brother, the sixth brother is still lacking in this aspect.

Maybe it’s because they haven’t entered the court yet. Once they enter the court and get involved in political affairs, they will probably make a lot of progress. After all, they are all smart children.

The three-year age difference will become less and less obvious as time goes by.

For the time being, Qin Zhi is quite satisfied with the performance of the two children.

"Your Majesty, you are not going to issue the decree to promote Concubine Min and the decree to demote Concubine Zhen at the same time, right?" Shen Ningyue suddenly raised her head and asked.

"Is there anything wrong?" Qin Zhi raised his hand and ruffled Shen Ningyue's hair.

Shen Ningyue buried her head helplessly in Qin Zhi's chest, "Your Majesty, please do as you please. Whether it is appropriate or not, I have no say in it."
