It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 236 236. Recognize or deny
Gong Leilei bowed softly, "My daughter has met the general."

She is a pretty and pleasant little girl, Xiao Yue nodded and said: "There is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, General."

Gong Leilei stayed aside with a low eyebrow and said nothing.It could be seen that she was well educated and could not fault her manners.

Xiao Yue turned his head to look at Gong Ruizhi, "Magistrate Gong, I will keep your kindness in my heart. As for recognizing Ling Qianjin as a righteous sister, let Xiao Yue think about it further."

Gong Ruizhi is the county magistrate of Qing'an Prefecture, and the official residence is the sixth grade. If Gong Leilei discusses marriage, it is not impossible to marry into a well-to-do scholarly family.

However, it must be very difficult for Gong Leilei's marriage to marry better.

This is probably why Gong Ruizhi asked Xiao Yue.

"I don't take the liberty to bother you, I just hope the general doesn't dislike me. I just want my daughter to be safe and happy, and don't think too much about it. The general's character is obvious to all."

Gong Ruizhi smiled politely.

Xiao Yue is a master after all, some things should not be pushed too far.

Gong Leilei wants to marry better, there is no doubt that only Xiao Yue can help.

"I have read Master Gong's performance appraisal. The people of Qing'an Mansion live and work in peace and contentment, and cannot do without Master Gong's governance."

Whether to deny his righteous sister, Xiao Yue was worried.

Gong Leilei and him are neither close nor close, and they don't have a deep relationship. If they recognize their righteous sister, how can others look at her more?
What's more, gossip and gossip will also attack Gong Leilei for plotting against others and clinging to glory.

From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yue didn't want Gong Leilei to be looked down upon or favored by the elite in the capital.

Gong Leilei's best destination should be to find a promising Jinshi to marry.

Speaking of Qing'an Mansion, Gong Ruizhi's smile deepened, "This is the job of the lower officials. Since the lower officials have become the parents of the Qing'an Mansion, they should plead for the people."

Gong Ruizhi, like Wang Jianfeng, is a talented and knowledgeable son of a poor family.

After high school, Emperor Longtai admired his talent and took the initiative to release him.

After the expiry of the release period, Gong Ruizhi successfully returned to Beijing. After seeing the memorial, Emperor Longtai must promote Gong Ruizhi.

"Being an official benefits the country and the people."

Xiao Yue said, "Master Gong donated generously back then and gave Xiao Yue 1 taels. Now Qing'an Mansion is flourishing with good weather and good weather. Master Gong's high character and integrity should be an example for the world."

Leaving aside other factors, Gong Ruizhi is a man of great ability and vision, and he can accomplish great things.

This time he eagerly came to Dingxuan Palace to beg Xiao Yue to recognize Gong Leilei as his righteous sister, maybe he still hoped that Xiao Yue would protect him for a while.

Or, to show loyalty to Emperor Longtai.

"The general is serious."

Gong Ruizhi is modest.

Xiao Yue praised him, but he couldn't just go downhill.

Xiao Yue smiled, "Lord Gong, you can't underestimate yourself. Both Your Majesty and Princess Xiangli are deeply impressed by you. The changes in Qing'an Mansion are obvious to all. Xiao Yue congratulates Lord Gong first."

Both Ji Shaoyuan and Emperor Longtai had impressions of Gong Ruizhi, and it was true that Gong Ruizhi was at a loss.

Gong Ruizhi waved his hand, "Your Majesty...Princess..."

Emperor Longtai is an old boss, so it is natural to know him, but it is not normal for Princess Xiangli to know her.

Xiao Yue carried out the name of Princess Xiangli, and Gong Leilei looked sad.

With this proud girl of heaven, how can she compare to others?

Xiao Yue pretended not to know, and chatted with Gong Ruizhi about government affairs.

Xiao Yue has lived in Pingjing for a long time, so he naturally knows much more than Gong Ruizhi.

After a while, Gong Ruizhi was overwhelmed with admiration for Xiao Yue.

"The general is far-sighted, and the lower officials have been taught deeply today, so I feel inferior."

Gong Ruizhi sighed deeply.

Xiao Yue never lost the favor of Emperor Longtai from the beginning to the end, his ability should not be underestimated.

Xiao Yue bowed, "The words of a family should not be taken seriously."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In just a short moment, Gong Ruizhi regarded Xiao Yue as his heart-to-heart confidant.

"General... I want to say something to you as an official." Gong Ruizhi whispered to his ears, and Xiao Yue's heart was turbulent after listening.

In the palace, Concubine Huang and Concubine An enjoyed tea and flowers together.

Since the death of the abandoned empress and abandoned concubine, the harem has shown an unprecedented sense of peace.

After the imperial concubine and an imperial concubine paid a heavy price and punished a group of evil slaves, the eunuchs, without exception, regarded the imperial concubine and an imperial concubine as Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine An had no enmity in the past, and recently they have no grudges. After the two shared the affairs of the harem together, their relationship became more and more harmonious.

No, imperial concubine Huang Guifei took a break from her busy schedule and asked Concubine An to drink tea and enjoy flowers.The Wan family specially sent Tieguanyin, which has been treasured for a long time, to the imperial concubine for a taste.

After getting good tea, the imperial concubine did not forget to send some to Ji Shaoyuan, Princess Huikang, and Princess Yuhua. Today, I asked Concubine An to drink tea, and the one she tasted was Tieguanyin.

Concubine An was happy to join in the show, so the two most honorable masters in the harem enjoyed flowers and tea in the gazebo, which was really pleasant.

"My lady, my lady."

Rong'er, the powerful female official in front of the imperial concubine, came to the gazebo in a hurry, disturbing the two masters' pleasure.

Concubine An's expression didn't change, the imperial concubine scolded lightly: "I'm in a panic, don't you know that I will enjoy the flowers with Concubine An?"

"The imperial concubine calmed down, the slaves disturbed the two empresses, and they knew they were guilty, but..."

Rong'er hesitated.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine waved her hand and dismissed the left and right.

The palace people in front of Concubine An also went down together.

"Speak, Bengong, listen."

The imperial concubine said politely and coldly.

In the huge backyard, it is not surprising that something happened.

Rong'er plucked up his courage, and reported word by word: "Your Majesty has gone to the bedroom of Concubine De. Her Majesty has grounded Concubine De."

Previously, Concubine Li De was imprisoned by Empress Dowager for being suspected of assassinating Emperor Longtai. After Empress Dowager died, Concubine De was promoted to a higher level, but the charges were not cleared.

At this moment, Emperor Longtai went to visit Concubine Li De, and Concubine Li De extended the days of confinement.

There's no weirdness in it, it's hard to make sense.

The imperial concubine asked: "Is Concubine De disrespectful?"

Emperor Longtai is the best face.

If anyone offends Emperor Longtai, sorry, don't think about living a good life in the future.

Concubine Li De herself was not happy with Emperor Longtai due to her background, she finally kept her eyebrows pleasing to her eyes, and kept her low profile for so many years, would something like this happen?

Rong'er shook his head, "I heard from Eunuch Zhao that Concubine De made a big mistake, and His Majesty is furious."

Concubine Li De was unknown, she had been the background concubine of the harem for several years, the imperial concubine really couldn't figure out how Concubine Li De could provoke Emperor Longtai.

Unless Concubine Li De was related to the death of Empress Zhaode.

No, it's impossible. Concubine Li De didn't enter the palace until seven years after Empress Zhaode died.

There is nothing to do between the two of them.

The imperial concubine was thinking hard, but she couldn't think of what mistake Li Defei had made.

On the contrary, Concubine An's words were astonishing, "Concubine De had met the Empress before, and she liked the Empress very much. After the Empress died, Concubine De took the initiative to come to Daxing as a married princess. In less than a year, Tufan was annexed by Daxing, and Concubine De was gone. support."

If Ji Shaoyuan was present, perhaps he could understand what Concubine An Gui meant.

Princess Fuhui Jingxian loves and hates Empress Zhaode, and now there is another concubine Li De.

"Sister said, Concubine De, she..."

The imperial concubine was well-informed, so she couldn't help but be taken aback by this unexpected truth.

How could Concubine Li De have such feelings?

"What Concubine De didn't know was that the queen she saw back then was actually Huo Chuxiong, the Great General of Hussars and Duke of Shen."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The Empress Zhaode whom Concubine Li De misses so much is a completely different person.

The imperial concubine asked subconsciously: "Does Concubine De know about this?"

"She knows that occasionally, when she looks at Princess Xiangli, she misses Duke Shen through her."

After Concubine An calmly dropped a bomb, she picked up her teacup and took a sip.

It is not uncommon for the young lady of Dongping County to have a lot of admirers. However, Concubine Li De likes Huo Chuxiong, which is more or less unexpected for the imperial concubine.

It's a surprise that a princess from a foreign country loves a son from a foreign country.

"Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with Concubine De?"

The imperial concubine regained her composure.

People like emperors have always been self-respecting, and Emperor Longtai was no exception.He can dislike Concubine Li De, but Concubine Li De can't dislike Emperor Longtai.

This is imperial power, this is hegemony.

How can things be so simple?
Concubine An sighed, "Concubine Li De may have something to do with Duke Shen's death."

Concubine Li De, who was being discussed, took off her fine attire at this moment, and knelt on the ground with disheveled hair, with a distressed expression.

Emperor Longtai glanced at her condescendingly, "Mr. Li, you deliberately delayed the reinforcements and made Chu Xiong and Chu Yin die of exhaustion, right?"

Concubine Li De was not in Daxing at that time, she did not expect her hands and feet to be so long, colluding with Nalan Zhipeng, cooperating inside and outside, dragging Huo Chuxiong and Huo Chuyin to death.

Concubine Li De muttered to herself, "Why do you need to ask more questions, Your Majesty? It's not like you don't know the heart of a concubine."

From the very beginning, her heart was on the heroic general.At that time, he dressed up as a daughter, showing his masculinity, and she was attracted to him.

Huo Chuxiong is tall and mighty, he has a beloved wife in his family, the two are deeply in love, and they will be a couple for the rest of their lives. All these have already made Concubine Li De envy and hate him.

Concubine Li De is far away in Fanbang, so she can't do anything to Huo Chuxiong.

When Nalan Zhipeng sent someone to negotiate cooperation to get rid of the Huo clan, Concubine Li De thought: If she can make Huo Chuxiong die, can she completely own Huo Chuxiong?Dead, she had a chance to be with him.

With this shady mind, Concubine Li De agreed to cooperate, and even added embellishments to delay the arrival of reinforcements.

Huo Chuxiong and Huo Chuyin are not reckless fighters, but they have killed tens of thousands of enemies, which is unmatched by anyone.

Once someone helps them, then Huo Chuxiong and Huo Chuyin will only become more frustrated and courageous.

Therefore, Nalan Zhipeng did a great job of delaying the reinforcements.

Huo Chuxiong died, she was upset and she burst into tears.

Since then, her heart has always stayed with Huo Chuxiong.

"Hmph! Snake, scorpion, poisonous woman, meeting you is the greatest misfortune for Chu Xiong."

Emperor Longtai frowned in disgust.

If Concubine Li De didn't help Nalan Zhipeng send troops back then, would Huo Chuxiong and Huo Chuyin die?
