Chapter 11: Freedom from Slavery


Because of the severity of the disaster, the news of the need to raise disaster relief money naturally spread to the harem.And all dynasties have default rules, if disaster relief really encounters an empty treasury, the palace will naturally need to reduce expenditures.Just when everyone was waiting for the intention to cut back on spending, they suddenly heard a new news.The eldest princess Xiao Huanyan proposed to the emperor that the palace maids and eunuchs, as long as they want, can get out of slavery by paying silver.Twenty taels per person, and after leaving the slave status, although everything remains unchanged in the palace, once the age is reached and left the palace, or the reward is given to leave the palace, you can become a free person, and no longer be a slave for the rest of your life.For a period of five days, those who want to get out of slavery only need to go to the Yuning Palace to pay money for registration, and after the unified registration list, once a day, the emperor will personally stamp and issue a certificate.And as soon as this rule was announced, the entire harem was not at peace all of a sudden."

Princess, can you really do this?"

In the Jade Night Palace, Yue Ling looked at the empty courtyard, "Why is it that it's been morning, there is no one!"

”"Don't worry, there will be someone."

Shen Qiqi crossed Erlang's legs, basking in the sun, very leisurely."

But after all, it's twenty taels of silver, and maybe some people don't want to take it out at all."

Yue Ling was still a little unconfident.Shen Qiqi sat up straight, "Yue Ling, you are following......

Princess Ben has been by her side for so long, how much silver has she saved?

”"This ......"

Yue Ling smiled, "Princess, you have always been generous to the slave maid, and the slave maid has no expense in the palace, so naturally you have saved some silver." ”"Then if it were you, would you be willing to spend twenty taels to get out of slavery?"

Shen Qiqi continued to ask."

Naturally, I am willing."

Yue Ling nodded, "If one day you leave the palace and can really get rid of your slave status, it would be great!"

”Shen Qiqi looked at the light in Yue Ling's eyes, smiled, and didn't ask any more.Being a slave means being inferior in this era.According to the rules of Tianyue, those eunuchs and palace maids, even if they are out of the palace at the end of the year, they still can't get rid of slavery, and only a few people can return to their free bodies if they are pardoned.She believes that such a temptation will definitely not be missed for those eunuchs and palace maids."

The slave has seen the princess."

At the gate of the courtyard, a somewhat familiar voice came.Shen Qiqi turned his head and looked over, "Green beads?

”Lu Zhu walked in quickly, and saluted Shen Qiqi again, compared to the calm of the previous two days, his expression was obviously flustered and nervous, "Princess, slave maid......

The slave and maid came when they saw the sign of their release from slavery. ”"I know."

Shen Qiqi smiled, "Do you know the rules?"

”"The slave knows."

Lu Zhu nodded, and took out a purse from his sleeve, "Princess, this is twenty taels of silver, beg the princess to let the slave maid out of slavery." ”"You're the first to come."

Shen Qiqi motioned to Yue Ling to take the silver in Luzhu's hand, "Aren't you afraid that it's fake?"

”"The slave believes that the princess can speak."

Lu Zhu made up his mind, "And, even if it's fake, the slave maid has to give it a try." ”She has no time, although she is a big palace maid, but it is too difficult to ask the master to forgive her slavery, even if she doesn't want these twenty taels, she must give it a try."

Okay."

Shen Qiqi nodded, "You fill in the information of Luzhu, since she is the first to come, then the princess will send your pardon document to the emperor today, so that the emperor will give you approval today." ”"Really?"

Lu Zhu looked at Shen Qiqi in surprise, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and she knelt down in front of Shen Qiqi, "Thank you, princess!"

”"You don't have to thank me, but you have to remember that, as the notice says, after getting the pardon document, if you don't do things as seriously as usual, or if you make any big mistakes, you will still be taken back, and at that time, even if you spend any money, it will be impossible."

Shen Qiqi instructed to speak."

The slave understands, the slave understands."

Green Bead hurriedly spoke.After the green beads retreated with great gratitude, Shen Qiqi ordered someone to send the green beads to the imperial study for Xiao Jijing's approval.Yue Ling looked at the figure of the little eunuch leaving, and was a little puzzled, "Princess, why don't you wait until today to send it over, maybe someone will come later, and Luzhu shouldn't be in a hurry in these few hours." ”"It's not the green beads that are in a hurry, it's us."

Shen Qiqi raised his eyebrows, "Those palace maids and eunuchs don't actually want to get out of slavery, but they are still waiting to see if it's true."

When the green beads are approved, I'm afraid that soon, they will all have to come over. ”Sure enough, as Shen Qiqi said, the courtyard that was originally deserted in the morning, after getting the documents from Luzhu, many palace maids and eunuchs from the three palaces and six courtyards ran over, although some were still hesitant to wait and see, but the people who paid the money to register had already made Yueling and them very busy.One by one, they scrambled to be the first, as if they were afraid that the places would be snatched away by others.In this way, after a few days, those who had already obtained the slave pardon documents were elated, and those who had just paid the money were also waiting with joy, and the harem seemed to be more lively than during the New Year.And Shen Qiqi raised more than 100,000 taels of silver at once in a few days, not only the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem were grateful to her, but even many officials in the court also praised each other and received full praise.On the palace road, Shen Qiqi, who had confirmed that everyone's slave pardon documents had been issued one by one, walked leisurely, only feeling greatly relieved.And along the way, the eunuchs and palace maids who used to just salute according to the rules saw Shen Qiqi from a distance that they were also running over to salute, and their attitudes were extremely warm and respectful."

Princess, now the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are probably eager to treat you as a living bodhisattva."

Yue Ling smiled and spoke, and besides, not only the princess, but even the people in the Jade Ning Palace felt that they were extremely face-saving."

For me?

Aren't you one of them?

”Shen Qiqi jokingly spoke, but when he saw the person in front of him, his smile instantly froze., how can you meet Mo Yan here."

Regent."

Shen Qiqi pulled out a little smile, "What a coincidence." ”"The slave has seen the regent."

The moon spirit hurriedly knelt down and saluted."

Get up."

Mo Yan changed into a silver-white robe today, and the whole person looked even more noble, looking at Shen Qiqi, "I heard that the eldest princess has raised more than 100,000 taels of silver in just a few days?"

”"That's right."

Shen Qiqi looked at Mo Yan and raised his eyebrows."

Killing two birds with one stone, the eldest princess is clever."

Mo Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, in just a few days, he not only raised disaster relief silver, won the reputation of the court, but also made those palace people in the palace grateful to Dade, showing his generosity and benevolence."

Regent, you're wrong."

Shen Qiqi's eyes were sly, "This princess kills three birds with one stone." ”() The eldest princess: Regent, ask for a hug
