Chapter 206 All Concubines Fight for a Bottle of Magic Water
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, "Replenish the national treasury? With what? With those magic waters of yours?"
What are these three people doing secretly? But if you say they are secretive, they are not hiding anything.
"What the hell is going on? You guys have messed up the entire harem."
"..."
"..."
"..."
None of the three spoke, for they were afraid that the queen mother would not believe them.
The Queen Mother looked at the three people who were eating with their heads down and felt a headache starting to build.
"Lolo, come and tell me, I heard that you brought the magic water in from outside the palace."
Tang Xiluo was suddenly called out and he didn't react for a moment.
After a while, she finally told him her plan.
"…Mother, this is what happened."
The Queen Mother: "...That's good, but you have to be careful about the extent." What kind of rogue method is this? So far, this is indeed the most effective and fastest method.
In that case, I'll just turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know.
"Okay Queen Mother."
-
On the way back home.
Zhan Jingchen glanced at the little girl and asked, "Are you still going to study medicine today?"
Tang Xiluo shook his head and said, "I won't study it anymore. Scarcity makes things valuable. If you refine too much medicine, it will become less valuable."
Zhan Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. The little girl had been sleeping in the pharmacy these days and he didn't know what she was busy with.
Early the next morning.
Tang Xiluo didn't even need the two maids to come in and call her, she woke up naturally.
"Xiao Li Xiao Mei, come in and help me wash and put on makeup."
"Princess, how much do you think we can earn today?" Xiaoli was extremely curious.
Xiaomei was also making a headdress while curiously guessing, "I guess there must be more than five boxes of treasures."
"Five boxes are not enough. I think ten boxes is possible."
Tang Xiluo put the earrings on himself and chuckled, "No matter how much we earn, we will earn it."
After all, the medicinal materials used to make this are not very valuable, but the medicine that can be made from it is extremely valuable. The price difference between the two is simply incredible.
"The princess still has a solution."
-
After preparing everything, they quickly entered the palace.
Tang Xirou had never seen such a grand scene before, with so many concubines gathered in her palace in one day.
At that moment, she boldly felt like the queen of the palace, and these concubines seemed to be here to pay their respects...
She herself was shocked by her own bold idea.
But this scene was too spectacular. In the past, she would go to other people's palaces to pay her respects, but now, other people would come to her palace...
However, there was still one thing that bothered her, because she was reluctant to use so much good tea to entertain people.
"Sister Shi Fei, did Princess Chen say what time she would come today?"
"Yeah, we've been waiting here for so long."
Everyone came here impatiently early in the morning, but after waiting for so long, no one showed up and they couldn't wait any longer.
Tang Xirou twitched her lips speechlessly. She was woken up by them so early in the morning. Was it because her sister came too late, or was it because they came too early? Don't they have any idea?
"Ahem, sisters, please wait a little longer. Luo Luo usually likes to sleep in... or maybe she was delayed by something in the mansion."
The concubines still suppressed their impatience and drank tea.
At this moment, two maids and two eunuchs of Concubine Zhao walked in.
"This servant/slave greets all the ladies and ladies."
Tang Xirou has the highest position here, so she is the one who starts the call.
"Get up."
"Madam Shi Fei, we are here to buy the magic water on the orders of Madam Zhao Fei."
They said this in order to make those concubines of lower status give up.
However, those concubines with lower ranks were not threatened. Nowadays, such matters were not determined by rank but by money and financial resources. Whoever had money would get it.
What's more, Concubine Zhao is still under house arrest. Everyone is glad that she didn't come because it gives everyone a 10% better chance. But they didn't expect that she would have the audacity to send her own maids and eunuchs in the palace.
Concubine Yao is straightforward and comes from a merchant family. She does not have the thoughts that the daughters of officials have.
"Empress Zhao is still under house arrest, and she hasn't even arrived yet, so why would she buy the magic water? Only if she comes herself can she appear sincere."
"That's right, Sister Zhao Fei is still under house arrest. If you come here and don't manage the money well..."
Everyone wanted to persuade a competitor to retreat, but the maids and eunuchs had no choice. Concubine Zhao said that they must bring back the magic water at all costs, otherwise they would not have a good life, so how could they dare to go out at this time?
Princess Shi sighed helplessly. She would not make things difficult for these innocent palace maids and eunuchs.
"Everyone has equal opportunities. Let's wait until Princess Chen arrives before making a decision."
One of the concubines asked curiously, "How much magic water does Princess Chen have?"
Everyone pricked up their ears. They were really curious and they also wanted to estimate the chances of buying it.
They didn't know how much silver notes each other had, so they were all very tight-lipped at this time.
Tang Xirou shook her head. "I don't know now. I'll know when she comes."
After everyone drank another cup of tea, Tang Xiluo finally arrived.
"Greetings to everyone."
"Hello, Princess Chen."
Tang Xiluo pretended to be surprised as soon as he stood up, "Ah?! So many masters want the magic water?"
The concubines all nodded, and then couldn't help asking, "Princess, how much magic water do you have?"
Tang Xiluo was a little embarrassed for a moment, "I only asked for a bottle of magic water."
When the concubines heard this, they all gasped and felt a huge amount of pressure.
Only one bottle of magic water? And there are so many of them... Who will be the lucky one in the end?
Some concubines could no longer hold back. Their money was naturally not as much as those of the big families. They had originally just wanted to try their luck, but when they heard that there was only one bottle, they immediately gave up.
Some concubines from big families were still a little worried because half of the women in the harem were from big families.
And only one person among all of them can get it. Some who are not favored and not valued by their families naturally won't get any money.
At this time, everyone had already selected one third of the candidates in their hearts, and then they all looked at Concubine Yao.
Now she is the biggest rival. She may not have other things, but what she lacks the most is money. I heard that a jar of plaster was sold to her...
The people in Concubine Zhao's palace also began to worry, and they were vaguely afraid.
They felt that they might not be able to snatch it, and they didn't know what kind of punishment they would face if they returned...
