After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 616

After rinsing his mouth, the emperor changed places, closed his eyes and took a rest while propping up the case.

Eunuch Liu retreated lightly, and half a quarter of an hour later, he quietly walked into the hall again, the emperor opened his eyes slightly: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Liu carefully reported: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Ning personally stewed Ruyi lotus seeds and jade dew soup, waiting outside the door, can the emperor enter some?"

The emperor said: "Huh? Ruyi lotus seeds and jade dew soup? I don't know why she came here?"

Eunuch Liu bent over to say yes, but he didn't answer. It's not easy to answer, he is just a chief eunuch, and he is only loyal to the emperor!

The emperor paused for a moment, and said: "Go and tell her, I'm not hungry, tell her to step down!"

Eunuch Liu said: "Yes!"

He walked out of the hall with small brisk steps.

At this moment, Concubine Ning was standing outside the hall, followed by several court ladies and eunuchs. The maid in charge was holding an exquisite tray with a white jade bowl on it.

Concubine Ning is also 37, but she is well maintained. She looks like she is in her 20s. At this time, she is wearing a light smoky palace dress, which is elegant and delicate. Her face is originally beautiful, but there is a slight lightness between her eyebrows Sorrow, it seems to add a bit of pitiful temperament.

Seeing Eunuch Liu come out, Concubine Ning Guifei took a step forward unconsciously, but seeing that there was no one behind Eunuch Liu, she stood where she was again, with a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

Her voice is gentle and light, like the cry of a yellow warbler, but it is a little more calm and melodious, which makes people clear and comfortable: "Boss Liu, what does the emperor say?"

Eunuch Liu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty just had dinner and said that he can't eat right now, so let Your Majesty go back to rest!"

The loss in Concubine Ning Guifei's eyes became stronger, and there was a somewhat sad and helpless smile on her face.

The beauty is like jade, and this kind of smile is even more pitiful, hitting the bottom of people's hearts. However, Eunuch Liu is just a eunuch, and he follows the emperor. He has seen too many methods used by women in the harem to compete for favor.

No woman in the harem will be simple.Because simple people can't survive at all, but like Concubine Ning, she not only survived, but also reached the position of noble concubine step by step, and the son she gave birth is expected to become the next emperor, so naturally it is even more difficult!

Ning Guifei said softly: "Since Your Majesty has this intention, then I will go back first."

Eunuch Liu said: "Your Majesty, go slowly!"

In other words, it is not easy for someone to climb to such an honorable position. Look, he advances and retreats gracefully, and he will never insist on staying to be annoying, but those eyes, that demeanor, and the loneliness revealed all over his body , but people can't help but sigh in the bottom of their hearts, giving birth to a bit of sympathy and pity.

Watching Concubine Ning leave, Eunuch Liu went back to report.

The emperor said indifferently: "Let's go?"

Eunuch Liu said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has already gone back!"

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, but she looked a little disappointed." Those concubines who wanted the emperor to stay overnight, or concubines who wanted to have the emperor's blessing, would also show disappointed expressions if they couldn't get what they wanted.

The emperor hummed, and continued to take a nap while leaning on the table.

After resting for another quarter of an hour, I continued to critique papers.

As time passed, Eunuch Liu reminded: "It's getting late, Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the palace to rest? Your dragon body is important, don't be too tired!"

"What time is it?"

"It's the first hour of the day!"

"Is it so late?" The emperor closed the folder, stood up and said, "Then go back to the palace."

Eunuch Liu asked from the side: "Your Majesty, in which palace are you resting at the empress's place tonight, my servant will ask someone to inform her to prepare!"

The emperor thought for a while and asked, "Who are there in the imperial garden today?"

There are too many women in the palace, and too many women who appeared in front of him before, and they are all young and beautiful, so he really can't tell who is who.

Eunuch Liu then said: "There is Shen Jieyu from Yuxiu Palace; Shunmei from Changning Palace; Liu Cairen from Chunhuayuan..."

He said about twenty people in one breath, and it turned out to be exactly the same.

After speaking, he waited by the side, the emperor decided.

The emperor didn't speak for a moment.

Although Eunuch Liu is an eunuch, he can understand it very well. After all, the ring is fat, the swallows are thin, the spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums have their own characteristics, and they are all young and beautiful, full of youthful vitality at their age, enthusiastic and charming.

The emperor said: "Go back to the sleeping hall!"

The emperor didn't choose any of them?Eunuch Liu was slightly different, but quickly said: "Yes!"

Under the escort of the inner guards, the servants in the palace went to the three mansions to deliver food.

This sudden act of giving food caused the three mansions who received the gift of food to react differently.

Jing Wang's mansion, Chu Chengye frowned when he saw the plate of imperial delicacies on the table that was cold but still exuding fragrance.

Shi Ma Tongfeng, the head of the palace, stood by, and Mr. Xue sat at the bottom.

Chu Chengye said: "What is the purpose of the sudden gift of the father?"

They all know about the Dingyuanhou Mansion.

Ma Tongfeng said: "The emperor is expressing his trust in Marquis Dingyuan, so do you want His Highness to feel at ease?"

Mr. Xue shook his head, his complexion was not very good, and he said slowly: "Your Highness must prepare for the worst. Now it seems that if Marquis Dingyuan is really involved, I'm afraid things will go bad."

Ma Tongfeng didn't have a good impression of Mr. Xue. As the long history of the palace, he had won the trust of Chu Chengye.

In the entire palace, the person he trusts the most is himself.

Since Mr. Xue came, the prince doesn't trust himself so much.Moreover, there were several times when his judgment differed from that of Mr. Xue, and the prince chose to trust Mr. Xue without any hesitation.

Now as soon as he put forward his own opinion, Mr. Xue immediately put forward a contrary opinion. This Mr. Xue is clearly against him.

He showed a smile, and said very politely: "Why did you say that, sir? Nowadays, it is not a festival, and the emperor bestows vegetables, which is a matter of great importance to the prince. Everyone knows the relationship between Marquis Dingyuan and the prince. Is it true that the emperor gave vegetables? Aren't you telling the prince that you can rest assured about this?"

Mr. Xue said slowly: "Master Ma is right, but you have to prepare for the worst in order to make the best response. The emperor gave food for no reason, and I agree with it. But why would he want to To appease the prince? Unless something unfavorable to the prince happens."

Chu Chengye's expression changed slightly.

Everyone loves to hear good words, and everyone is willing to listen to them. However, Chu Chengye is not an idiot in the royal family. Even if Mr. Xue's words made him feel extremely uncomfortable, he still felt that Mr. Xue's words might be more serious. Make sense.

His Marquis Dingyuan couldn't help feeling a little resentful, how many women do he want?Could it be that country women can still compare to the ladies in the capital?Why do such a thing?Doing this kind of thing now makes things get out of hand.

Didn't he think about how much it would affect him if something happened to him?

Especially at a critical time like now.

If Marquis Dingyuan was convicted of this incident, the lightest thing would be to seize his title and be exiled for three thousand miles.But on Chu Yuncheng's side, there was no loss.One ebbs and another, all his advantages are gone!
It was obviously a plate of rare and delicious dishes, but the imperial chef's craftsmanship was excellent in color, fragrance, and taste. Chu Chengye stretched out his chopsticks and then retracted them, but it was like taking medicine, and it was difficult to distinguish the taste from the food!

The situation on Chu Yuncheng's side is much better, and the atmosphere is not as gloomy as this.

The dish given by the emperor is called Bazhen Fish Maw Soup.

The ingredients are top-notch, placed on the table, delicate and beautiful, with a tangy aroma.

Because his arm was injured, Zuo Qing was serving vegetables for him.

After all, it is unusual for the emperor to give food, so his Mu Liao was also present.

Huo Xilin said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness, this Bazhen Fish Maw Soup is for nourishing blood, and the Emperor knew that His Highness was injured, so he gave this soup, which shows how much the Emperor cares and values ​​His Highness!"

Dou Weiyuan also said: "Mr. Huo said it. It makes sense. The evidence in Dingyuan Hou's case is conclusive, and now it involves the prince's injury. The matter is serious and has to be dealt with again. The situation is very good. The emperor's dish is not only for your highness to replenish Qi The blood is also to make His Highness feel at ease, and will definitely give His Highness justice, so that His Highness can put his heart in his stomach!"

Song Qinghe wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth. Looking at Chu Yuncheng's smiling face, he didn't say anything after all.

Everyone's interest is so high, so happy, he should not disappoint.

Bazhen Fish Maw Soup.

Although Bazhen nourishes qi and blood, the meaning of fish maw is probably not to put the heart in the belly, but to have a big belly that can hold it.

Why is it difficult for the Fourth Highness to accommodate people?Now the Fourth Highness needs to go to accept the case, which is the case of Dingyuan Houfu. The emperor wants to re-handle it, so that His Highness can put his heart in his stomach?I still don't want to do it again, I hope the Fourth Highness will be lenient and don't hold on to it?
Chengguo government office.

Knowing that the emperor actually gave food to the mansion, Duke Cheng and the mansion celebrated with joy!
It's a great thing, you must know that even during the Chinese New Year holidays, Duke Cheng's mansion, this third-class mansion, has never enjoyed the food bestowed by His Majesty.

It's not even a special day now, His Majesty's food was given to the mansion instead, what does that mean?
This dish, in particular, is Toad Palace Moon Treasure.

The toad palace wins the laurel, and the moon is like a treasure!
This is the matter that the emperor forgot to give the marriage this morning, so he specially gave this dish, right?

Cheng Guogong's mansion was full of joy, and even brought this dish directly into Fu Yuhan's boudoir.

Fu Yuhan was restless all day long, so the dinner was late, and it happened to be a dish at this time.

She yelled, "Lianxiang, Bucai!"

The maid beside her turned pale.

After Fu Yuhan finished calling, he suddenly remembered that Lianxiang was gone.She frowned, she was really unlucky, how could she call out this name just by blurting out?
But Lianxiang's maid is indeed more flexible than other maids, and she can use it more easily.

But no matter how easy it is, it's useless. Who told her that her life would be bad?On the way back to the house, she and her mother made it clear that the maid could not stay!
Although she has done nothing wrong, she has no faults, and she is even dedicated to serving her.

But in order to marry into Prince Liang's mansion, what is it if you just give up the life of a servant girl?
On the way back to the bedroom, the emperor suddenly paused and walked in another direction.

Eunuch Liu looked in that direction, the nearest one was Yuxiu Palace.

Although the emperor didn't choose before, but now he still decides to go to Shen Jieyu's palace?He whispered: "Your Majesty, do you need to notify in advance so that your empress can pick you up?"

"No need!" The emperor said lightly: "I want to see, if I don't notify in advance, what is the difference between what I can see and what I see after the notification!"

Eunuch Liu said: "Yes!"

I don't know if Shen Jieyu went there suddenly without prior notice.

Three years ago, there was a lady Xiu Rong who was quite favored, or because of the emperor's whim, she went there suddenly, she lost her manners in front of the imperial court, not only fell out of favor, was thrown into the cold palace, and even her family was implicated?

However, this kind of thinking only stayed in Eunuch Liu's mind for a moment. He is so old that no one can sympathize with him, so he just needs to do his job well.

The emperor, who was not far from Yuxiu Palace, did not stop, but walked straight forward.

So the emperor didn't go to Yuxiu Palace!

Eunuch Liu, the person who claims to understand the emperor's mind best, is also somewhat confused at this moment. Which young master is the emperor going to visit?
Putting on the footsteps is very brisk, and after a while, I passed several palaces.

Eunuch Liu was watching the emperor still walking forward, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that the emperor is going to Chaohua Palace!

It seems that Concubine Ning Guifei's bowl of soup had some effect. Although the emperor asked her to leave at that time, didn't this come again?
At this time, the lights in Chaohua Hall were still on.

Concubine Ning Guifei's hair bun has been loosened, and her black hair is scattered on her shoulders.

She was wearing a white pajamas, sitting at the table, her face was not very good, her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

The maid in charge persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, go to rest early! You caught cold a few days ago, and you haven't recovered yet."

Concubine Ning Guifei sighed softly, and said faintly: "Where can I sleep? What happened now is because my brother did something wrong, and I have no face to intercede. But I am worried that the emperor has annoyed me. Before, he liked to eat the soup made by Ben Gong the most, and praised Ben Gong for his carefulness and ingenuity, and the soup was delicious, but today he is not even willing to see Ben Gong!"

The palace lady said: "Your Majesty, how much do you think, Your Majesty has been in the deep palace all this time. How will your Majesty know what Master Hou did? Your majesty must understand your Majesty's wisdom!"

Concubine Ning said quietly again: "I know! The emperor is the most generous and merciful, but brother did something wrong back then."

The palace lady said: "So my lord, is this the reason why you didn't see Mrs. Dingyuanhou today?"

"She wants to see me, but she wants me to intercede for my brother in front of the emperor, but how can I open my mouth?" Concubine Ning's tone was full of hatred: "Although the governor of Ganyi decided all this on his own, He also lied to his elder brother that it was the dancer who had signed the contract of prostitution in the mansion. The elder brother was single and missed his sister-in-law to make such a mistake. Confused! The emperor should be angry, not to mention the emperor, I am very angry, how could he be so confused? The emperor entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, is he worthy of the emperor?"

"Then according to my concubine's opinion, how should I deal with Marquis Dingyuan?"
