imperial psychologist

Chapter 163

This performance seemed to have completely spoiled Emperor Jianxi's good mood in the morning. He waved everyone to go down, and only him and Huang Chongde were left in the huge Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking at the long curtain blown by the wind not far away, Emperor Jianxi suddenly said, "You said yesterday that if Prince Gong went to the Hu family, it would mean that he was upright and had nothing to do with this matter...you are still like this now Do you think so?"

Huang Chongde didn't change his face, "This servant still thinks so... and this servant can only feel this way."

Emperor Jianxi gave Huang Chongde a meaningful look,
After a while, he raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured, "Forget it, this matter should be over."

……

In Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling looked at the receipt Qinglian handed over and exclaimed, "There are so many, are you calculating correctly?"

"That's right, the servant girl remembers it really, it's four catties and two taels."

Bo Ling calculated in his mind, one catty equals 16 taels, and four catties equals 64 taels... Then the bird cage that Lin Jieyu sent was 68 taels of gold.

Bo Ling hugged the birdcage lightly, and when he realized it, he realized that he had already laughed.

Lin Jieyu's spending is too generous, the so-called getting rich overnight is nothing more than that...

"But the masters also said that this number is only an estimate. In addition to gold, there are some gold-plated iron wires in the cage-because if it is all gold, the bird cage is too soft and easy to deform. They estimated it based on experience. The weight of the wire has already been subtracted." Qinglian said with a straight face, "If Si Yao wants to know the exact gold content of this birdcage, they can test it another day, but the premise is not to destroy the birdcage. The method will be more complicated, and their recent construction period is relatively tight, so they may not be able to take on this kind of work..."

Qinglian looked at the smiling Bai Ling in front of her, and felt that she was not listening to her speech.

Qinglian asked with some uncertainty, "Bosi medicine?"

"You go to the Guangchu Division again," Bo Ling said directly, "tell them, you can melt this birdcage and weigh it, it doesn't take so much trouble."

"Ah?" Qinglian was startled, "Molten? But it was sent by Lin Jieyu..."

Bo Ling played with the golden cage, "Say what you have, and stop suddenly in the middle of the other words."

But the second half of Qinglian's sentence was still stuck there, and it took a long time to stammer out a sentence, "...this is the evidence that Lin Jieyu humiliated you, if it melts... how can you find someone else?" How about justice for you?"

Bo Ling said "Huh?" and looked at her inexplicably, "Lin Jieyu humiliated me...who told you?"

"Everyone...that's what they say..." Qinglian faintly felt that she shouldn't go on talking, but since Bo Ling asked, she had no choice but to answer bravely, "They said that what Lin Jieyu sent was foster care. The cage of the lark is to humiliate Si Yao. You are just a bird kept by the imperial concubine for viewing pleasure..."

"Oh." Bo Ling remained unmoved, "Is there any more?"

Qinglian took another peek at Bai Ling, and saw that she really seemed to have no troubles and showed no signs of getting angry, so she said tremblingly, "Well...they also said, Bo Siyao, you are still afraid after all. Otherwise, why didn't you throw everything out like the previous two times; some people said that you probably wanted to take care of the overall situation, and didn't dare to make things too rigid when the empress was away... By the way, and—"

"Okay," Bai Ling lowered his lips, "you don't need to talk about it anymore, anyway, you remember, no matter what kind of theory is spread outside, you don't have to worry about it. Now, you just need to take the birdcage and go again Go to the Guangchu Division and ask them to melt the birdcage as soon as possible, I will use this thing urgently."

Qinglian stayed there again, "Urgent?"

Bo Ling got up and tapped Qinglian on the forehead lightly.

She thought that the girl was a bit pretentious before, but later she found out that her temperament was probably like this--slowness with a bit of simplicity that couldn't turn a corner. Set of classic cannon fodder.

Getting along with her is full of embarrassments, after all, some of her ill-considered actions will cause obvious troubles.

But Bo Ling thought about it all night, and still decided to throw an olive branch to this maid who approached him proactively.

If a girl looks innocent and stubborn, but she always does something that is too "smart" or "coincidental"-such as taking advantage of the opportunity when there is no one in the palace to talk to you on the grounds of the whereabouts of the imperial concubine; When the palace came to make trouble, it just happened to run into the east side hall and call itself out - then this is probably not a real "coincidence"

Or this person's innocence and stubbornness are fake, or there may be other hidden secrets, but no matter what it is, if you don't really put her by your side, you probably won't be able to see it clearly.

"This is gold, silly girl." Bo Ling urged with a somewhat helpless expression, "Don't ask so many questions, you can go quickly. Also, after leaving the door of the east side hall, it will take a while When you come back, apart from explaining the work to the old masters over there, you must keep your mouth shut and don’t talk to anyone who talks to you along the way, remember?”

Qinglian nodded with doubts, took the blue and white cloth to wrap the golden bird cage again, turned around and went out, just bumped into Baoyuan when she went out, causing Baoyuan to scream.

Qinglian just wanted to say I'm sorry, but remembered Bo Ling's order of "don't speak" just now, so she bowed desperately and backed away, and then ran out of Chengqian Palace like flying.

"You stop for me!"

Hearing Bao Yuan's voice, Bo Ling stood up and welcomed her into the room, and explained a few words for Qing Lian who had gone away.Baoyuan wasn't really angry at first, but calmed down with a few words.

Only then did Bo Ling realize that her eyes were bloodshot and swollen.

"I'll come to the East Side Hall to sleep for a while, and you'll wake me up in the evening," Baoyuan rubbed her eyes and said, "I stayed up all night last night, and I'm really sleepy right now..."

Bo Ling looked at her strangely, "Are you also on duty at Xianfu Palace?"

"Of course I don't need to be on duty at night," Baoyuan yawned, and walked to the window with half-downcast eyes, stepped on each other with her left and right feet, took off her shoes, and flung herself on the bed, "...but the empress is in full swing. I don’t sleep at night, how can I go to the side to rest? Besides, Granny Shu really couldn’t bear it yesterday, so I can only endure it.”

Bai Ling was thoughtful, "So Madam stayed up all night last night."

"Yes, and it's the same with Concubine Ning, the two sat in front of the little prince's cradle and talked all night." Baoyuan had already closed her eyes, and her voice gradually weakened, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Who did your empress talk to so much..."

Bo Ling walked to the bed, leaned over and twisted the quilt for Baoyuan, just like she used to twist the corners of the quilt for herself.

"Have a good rest." Bo Ling said softly, "I'll call you in the evening."

……

However, when Bao Yuan opened his eyes again, the sky outside was completely dark.

This is by no means evening.

"Berling?" She pressed her eyes, "Are you there?"

The room was dark and no one answered.

The maids outside heard the voice and quickly came in, the lights in the east side hall turned on, and the maids stepped forward slowly, "Servants wait for Sister Baoyuan to change clothes..."

"Is Your Majesty awake?" Bao Yuan rolled over and got off the bed, rinsed his mouth briefly, and pressed his face with a hot towel, "Who is looking after Your Majesty over there now?"

The palace people replied in a low voice, "Oh, your empress has left a special message for you, saying that she is going out for a visit, so you don't need to worry."

"Go out?" Baoyuan seemed to have heard some strange news, "Where did your empress go?"

"It is said to go to the Royal Garden to relax..."

Baoyuan's whole body froze, and she felt hot blood rushing to her head, "Did she go by herself? Was there anyone following her? Why didn't you call me when your mother went out!?"

"Sister Baoyuan, don't worry!" The palace man quickly comforted him, "It is indeed to relax, the empress also brought three or five people out together, and by the way, there is Bai Siyao, and Bai Siyao also went with her Understand."
