Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 89

When snow covered the golden eaves of the imperial city, Shen Shiqing finally returned to Xiyuan.

After changing the clothes on her body, she immediately asked someone to find the memorial for her son to inherit the title from the ancestor Yong Yibo.

Looking at the word "祖出" on it, she curled her lips into a smile.

To replace the son-in-law with a child born after committing an official, and the crime of deceiving the emperor, this is basically an achievement for the censors.

"Grand lady, please copy this memorial and send it to Li Congyuan tomorrow, and then pass on my oral instructions. Anyone like Uncle Yongyi who dares to reach out to the silver taels of the Taipu Temple relying on the protection of his ancestors and his official position will never He will be the only one, and if he dares to collude with others, I will take his life and let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know, no matter what his background or official position, I will never tolerate him."

The senior female officer put her hands in front of her and bowed to answer "Yes", and said:

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to bring some snacks over today. Because Her Majesty is not here, Fang Zhangyan intends to accept them. The humble servant made his own decision. Because the visitor's words were domineering and not in accordance with the law, the people sent them back."

After glancing at Gao Wanxin, Shen Shiqing nodded:
"The female official is my minister before the imperial court. It is the right way to use rules to resist things that are not in accordance with the law. Next time there is such a thing, you can beat her on the spot and send her back."

"Yes."

Gao Wanxin stepped back, and Shen Shiqing looked at Yiji and Sanmao who were standing aside. First, there were two notebooks that were urgently needed to be dealt with, and then she waved to the two:

"The people from the Compassionate Ning Palace still dare to be domineering in front of you? Are you guys using tricks to make high-ranking female officials stand out?"

The three cats leaned in front of the emperor with a shy face, their eyes narrowed:

"Your Highness is really careful and calculating! The little calculations in the minds of the slaves turned out to be in the ears of His Highness. The one who came to deliver things today is the godson of Eunuch Li of the Compassionate Ning Palace. He just got a couple a few days ago. When the food business was rampant, the slaves let a young grandson stop him and let him show his true nature. The high female official always loves the slaves and these junior eunuchs, so she reprimanded him and drove them back."

In front of the emperor, Sanmao never concealed his closeness and protection to the female officials, and he also learned Gao Wanxin's polite words vividly.

Shen Shiqing looked at Yiji who had been silent all this time.

"Yiji, you are willing to give up your dignity to let the female officials in front of the imperial court stand up. It is a good job."

Yiji hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "All the slaves and servants are given by the emperor. The so-called decency is just the grace of the emperor. It can't be called letting or not. I just ask the emperor to work less. These days the emperor The Lord is exhausting himself, and this servant begs the Emperor to take care of himself."

"I know, when you stand up and speak, I'm praising you, not making you kneel."

Shen Shiqing sighed in her heart, the eunuch Yiji was definitely the most transparent type of people she knew, who could change from a helpless little eunuch to a chief of ceremonies in the treacherous and tumultuous palace, and still To be able to serve the erratic Zhao Surui for so many years, he relies on this transparency.

It's not unusual for him to understand Zhao Surui from the past.

But from her soul to Zhao Surui's body, this chicken can always think in front of her, this is an amazing ability.

"One Chicken, Two Dogs, how's your relationship with the Prince of England recently?"

"Returning to the emperor, your majesty came to live in Xiyuan this time, and the servant specially arranged two dogs to guard the Qianqing palace. He took the opportunity to leave the palace twice, and was approached by the prince's son the second time. The king of England Although the prince was imprisoned in Ning'an Bo's mansion, he still moved frequently. He knew the affairs of the court like the back of his hand. He gave Ergou a bag of gold, and wanted to buy news from Ergou about His Majesty's imperial presence. Ergou pretended Yes."

Shen Shiqing nodded, closed her eyes, and looked at the private seal that hung back on her body after returning to the palace.

Stretching out her hand, she stroked the piece of jade that was of the same origin as her plain hairpin twice, and her heart felt at ease again.

"Tell Ergou not to be impatient. You don't need to get much information from the Prince of England, but you need to be deep. The father and son of the King of England seem to be reckless and reckless, but in fact they are tolerant and suspicious. I want Ergou to be prepared to entangle with them for several years. Don't startle the snake."

"Yes, my lord."

Shen Shiqing waved her hand: "Today, you have covered me up for another day, so you don't have to wait on me at night, so step back."

Yiji and Sanmao retreated from the warm pavilion, only to see Sishu still guarding the door.

The four mice with low brows were standing in the corridor, thinking about what they saw and heard today, when they looked up, they saw two pairs of eyes looking straight at him.

If he was a real mouse, he might be scared to death!

"What are you doing?"

One chicken and three cats is no nonsense, the chicken is on the left and the cat is on the right, and the mouse is caught between them and it is carried to the corner on the other side where the people are backed and the wind is leeward.

The three cats took a look at the chicken, and asked the first question:

"The rumored Mrs. Shen, did the emperor go to see her today?"

Naturally, the four eunuchs all knew about the emperor's legacy of Wei Wu. The other three were not like the Four Rats who followed the emperor every time he went out of the palace, so they naturally wanted to ask him for news.

Today the emperor left the palace after lunch, saying that he was going to the princess mansion, but in the evening he sent a message to say that the dinner was served outside the palace.

The food in Princess Yueqing's residence is light. According to their emperor's words in the past, it is "feeding rabbits and rabbits will sleepwalk hungry".
The emperor naturally went to another place.

For example, I went to see Mrs. Shen.

The four mice looked at the three cats, and a fat cat showed its claws and bared its teeth.

The four mice looked at a chicken, and a thin chicken looked sinister.

Lowering his eyes, he nodded.

The three cats almost jumped up on the spot.

"Then what advantage does Mrs. Shen have that ordinary people don't have?! Being able to hook our emperor's soul will fly away! I have seen Mr. Mao, a scholar of Shen University, before. He is dignified and dignified. The daughter he gave birth to is not a fox. Tosheng?!"

"fox?"

Sishu thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Miss Shen is really nothing unusual. Although her behavior is not dignified, she is not coquettish. If there are some peculiarities, although there are, but... it has nothing to do with the charm of the lord. Don't say such things in the future, crazy cat. , be careful to spread it.”

"Then what is she like!"

Growing up with the emperor from a young age, San Mao couldn't figure out that the emperor in his family who loved horses more than women could fall in love with a woman.

The four mice let out a long sigh:

"Lively, quick-tempered, and his words and deeds are a bit like our emperor's before, only less murderous and more squeamish. He is pretty, and he is not inferior to our mother in terms of appearance, but he is easy to dress up as a man, with a plain face, and looks It's not obvious."

Not to mention three cats, even one chicken was a little surprised.

He said: "From your description, I think our emperor just found a like-minded playmate for himself, which is no different from the previous Ming Ruoshui. Before the emperor hugged... and supported the Shen lady horizontally. The only reason why she came out was because Mrs. Shen was drunk."

Four mice pursed their lips:

"Before today, I also had such a guess. But today, our emperor personally cooked noodles for Mrs. Shen, picking out soup and making noodles."

Recalling that shocking scene, he raised his eyes to look at the wooden chicken and stone cat in front of him, and stretched out three fingers:
"Miss Shen ate three bowls of noodles! I also said it was the first time I saw such an edible official lady!"

Sanmao's eyes widened, and he had a preliminary impression of the rumored Lady Shen:

"Delicate, but edible."

----

Knowing that "Zhao Surui" had persuaded Princess Yueqing to take charge of her palace, Lin Miaozhen almost clapped her hands and applauded. With her little aunt and second aunt to bear it for her, the burden on her shoulders was much lighter.

"Sister, don't rush to be happy. Princess Yueqing is a practical person. She is not the type of person who sits at home and waits for someone to hand over an official position to her."

Lin Miaozhen thought about the gentle and kind elder in her memory who always advised her to look forward and not to be trapped in prison, and always felt that what she said was not right with "Zhao Surui".

Shen Shiqing just laughed. People can't look at what the person said, but what she did. When she handed over the first two toning prescriptions to Zhao Mingyin, Zhao Mingyin didn't even thank her. He didn't take it to heart either, thinking that Zhao Mingyin still couldn't trust her.

Unexpectedly, after two days, Zhao Mingyin asked Chuiyun to bring a new horse face skirt to meet her.

It was the color she adjusted.

"Thanks to your generous help, I dare not fall asleep at all nights. I tried it eight times and saw the first effect. This skirt is made of the first piece of cloth. Please appreciate it."

Even Shen Shiqing, who used to be proud and arrogant, couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Mingyin's astonishing courage.

Bowing his head, he casually picked up the teapot by Lin Miaozhen's hand and wanted to refill himself a glass of water, but unexpectedly what came out was medicinal soup.

She smelled it and looked at Lin Miaozhen:

"My sister has a menstrual disorder, why didn't you seek an imperial physician sooner? Just using angelica to soak in water is not a symptom."

Lin Miaozhen quickly snatched the kettle back with anger on her face:
"I thought you only made progress in political affairs. I didn't expect you to know these women's affairs."

Glancing at the kettle in her hand, she smiled:
"I alarmed the imperial doctor because of my little problem, and the queen mother will know. When the courtiers bother you with many years of no heir, isn't it just a waste of your energy?"

Shen Shiqing shook her head:

"Let's just ignore some useless notebooks. No matter how big a sister is, your body doesn't matter."

After finishing speaking, Shen Shiqing asked the female officer next to the queen to go to the imperial physician.

"Sister, the leading female officer controls the palace affairs, and you must also take your own body into consideration."

Lin Miaozhen looked at "Zhao Surui" and smiled:
"Okay, my younger brother knows how to persuade me to take care of myself, and I will definitely do the same in the future."

After a while, Lin Miaozhen asked again:

"You are also in your 20s, but you still let me occupy the back seat, so you never thought about finding a close friend to accompany you for the rest of your life?"

It was snowing again outside the window.

It was bigger than yesterday's. Shen Shiqing looked at those snowflakes with a slight smile on his lips.

"Of course I thought about it."

The love of her parents made her think that all couples in the world were like this. As she grew older, and followed her father around, she realized that the so-called "same eyebrows" and "deep love between husband and wife" are the fate of the world. Fang some accidental.

On the contrary, all kinds of women, who are bought and sold in the name of marriage, enter other people's homes, and from then on they are just women who want to sleep with each other, have children, housekeepers, fight for favor, and be trapped in the house to be a good one. It's just a servant or an animal for decoration.

At that time, her parents always told her that she would definitely meet someone who would be like her and grow old together.

She believed it.

It's like she believes that her parents can make her filial to the end.

When a big dream like glazed glass was shattered, what she saw when she woke up was that all the women in the world were covered in mud.

"Then what kind of companion have you thought about finding?"

"I'm looking for someone who treats me like himself."

Shen Shiqing smiled and told Lin Miaozhen her answer.

The love she Shen Shiqing wanted was to have this kind of person.

She is not a slave, nor is she an animal. She is a person just like others. If others want to love her, they must not look down on her. Even if it is only a little bit lower, the so-called "love" is not worthy of it. she.

Lin Miaozhen thought for a while, then couldn't help shaking her head, her tone was a little distressed: "You are the king of a country, who dares to regard you as the same as yourself?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Clean up the government, enrich the treasury, promote female officials, and rectify the nine borders... and the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition. Talking about love can't help me."

Sitting opposite Lin Miaozhen on the couch, Shen Shiqing propped her head on the table with her hands, her tone was leisurely, she didn't care at all.

Like Shen Shiqing a few years ago, Lin Miaozhen quickly saw Zhao Mingyin's amazing courage.

"The minister has summoned 24 female bookkeepers in the property under his name. They are all people who are proficient in accounting. Using the account books they researched, they can sort out the five-year accumulated accounts of the Taipu Temple within one month."

Wearing a princess robe, Zhao Mingyin, the eldest princess of Yueqing, stood in the Duanji Hall, her words resounding to the floor.

"If the matter fails, please demote yourself to the people, exile to the nine borders, and never return."

"If the matter is successful, please ask the empress to hand over the Duanji Hall to the minister. Within three years, the minister will return five hundred outstanding female officials from the Dayong Dynasty Hall."
