Work overtime

Chapter 618 I can’t figure it out

Lin Changzai accepted the order with tears in his thanks.

The suffering yesterday was finally not in vain. I also felt a little comfort in my heart. This was the emperor's compensation for knowing that she had been wronged, and it was also a reward for her not making a fuss.

If a person is in a low position, if he does not have the courage and strength to resign, he will be in a low position. In the face of high-level difficulties and prestige, it is best to endure it for the time being. We need to take the overall situation into consideration, and don't conflict head-on easily, which will cause trouble and cause trouble. After all, even the emperor had to endure it when he was a prince.

At the same time, avoid self-deprecation and internal friction. Many times, the senior management is not targeting you. You are just a temporary prop, and the actual purpose is to show other senior management. But then you need to improve your abilities and find ways to move up.

After Concubine Tian heard about it, she sent Chunliu to bring congratulatory gifts, and then took Lin Changzai to Qixia Palace. She said that Lin Changzai was fun and she liked Lin Changzai's company.

Lin Changzai knew it was a pit of fire, but he had to jump even though he didn't want to.

Because of her low position, she was not treated as well as Concubine Li when she was sick, and it was even more difficult for her to see an imperial physician. If she died in the palace, she was just buried with a mat rolled up.

Lin Changzai pretended that his voice was completely broken and he could not speak. But Concubine Tian insisted that she sing twice to see how serious the problem was.

It was naturally very serious, and it had already become a broken throat.

Concubine Tian was disappointed when she heard that Lin Changzai was going to take a month's rest. She even sighed that she sang quite well yesterday.

Lin Changzai simply imitated Jiang Changzai and kept silent.

Concubine Tian dragged her and asked her to learn pipa from her. It was said that Lin Chang sang Kun Opera to her yesterday. Lin Changzai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tian Fei's gourd, so he felt uneasy and felt that he had dug a bigger fire pit for her.

But Concubine Tian was really serious about it. He gave Lin Changzai a new pipa as a gift to congratulate her on her promotion.

Then he sat in a room as cool as spring, each holding a pipa, and taught him every step of the way very carefully.

He speaks in a cheerful and crisp tone, often joking, and is very contagious. It's as if what happened yesterday never happened.

Lin Changzai had a trance hallucination: Concubine Tian did not torture her intentionally yesterday, but was just a child's temperament, and she got angry with him when Li Jieyu refused to give her face. Or maybe you really don’t understand Kun Opera, so you can conduct blindly.

I stayed up until lunch time with such anxiety, thinking I could finally leave, but I was left to eat.

Lin Changzai's face instantly became very ugly. Thinking of yesterday's difficult experience, he knelt down and declined hurriedly.

Concubine Tian told her that the emperor would not come to have lunch with her today, and it was boring to eat alone, so she insisted on having her accompany him.

"Yesterday I just wanted to give my sister all the delicious food. After all, the ingredients used are the most precious in the world. Later I heard that my sister felt uncomfortable after eating and even vomited. It was really my fault," Concubine Tian said with a smile. , "I won't force my sister today. Eat whatever you want."

When Concubine Tian said this, it seemed that Lin Chang was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. The other party meant well, but he took it as making things difficult for him.

"Concubine Xie Tian." Lin Changzai said in a hoarse voice, as rough as a man's voice.

But when the food came, Lin Changzai was dumbfounded.

Seeing Lin Changzai not moving his chopsticks, Concubine Tian asked innocently:
"Sister, why don't you eat? The emperor usually eats very little when he comes. He forces me to eat bitter melon every day. It's so unpalatable. I have no appetite at all on a hot day. Since the emperor is not here today, let's eat something delicious. "

Every dish on the table is dotted with shredded red chili peppers and raw garlic.

Some dishes, such as ice-cooked mutton, are filled with chili oil and Sichuan peppercorn oil, which are really fragrant and really spicy.

According to palace rules, the concubine is not allowed to eat these strong-flavored things, so as not to offend the emperor.

Lin Changzai looked at the table full of dishes hesitantly, and his heart sank again. Just say that Concubine Tian is not so kind. My throat is already "bad", so eating these spicy and irritating things or drinking more honey and lemon water will be useless.

"Eat whatever you want." Concubine Tian happily ate her meal, seemingly very satisfied.

Lin Changzai had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up a few dishes with less spicy oil and eat them slowly. If her voice hadn't been broken, the dishes on this table would indeed be considered delicacies, and the taste was extremely good.

She kept a tightrope, fearing that if she did something inappropriate, Concubine Tian would attack her. But except for Concubine Tian repeatedly urging her, "Eat, eat, this is particularly delicious," and instructing the palace maid to put particularly spicy dishes into her bowl to share the delicious food with her, she did not make any other verbal gestures.

Finally getting through lunch, Lin Changzai was prepared to continue being tortured and drink ice water.

Concubine Tian told her that she was tired today and needed to take a nap. Ming Chunliu took Lin Changzai back with someone holding a pipa and an ice bucket. He told her to practice the pipa seriously and pick her up to Qixia Palace tomorrow morning. Lin Changzai had been nervous all morning and was extremely tired.

At such a young age, Concubine Tian played her cards completely out of line with common sense, making her come up as she thought, which made her confused. She even wondered why Concubine Tian was so kind to teach her how to play the pipa herself.

Her rule of life is, if you don't think clearly, don't think about it.

She returned to her palace, drank some honey water, and lay down on the couch to sleep for a while. Jiang Changzai came over and gave some money to express his congratulations.

Unlike what Lin Changzai expected, Jiang Changzai did not inquire about her experience in Qixia Palace. He simply cared about the condition of her throat, congratulated and blessed her, and left in a hurry.

In her heart, Jiang Changzai belongs to Concubine Jianing. Still thinking about how to deal with it so as not to offend Concubine Tian. Who knew that he was still the same as before, not liking to chat or asking questions, which brought out his petty thoughts.

Lin Changzai couldn't understand these people, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it.

After resting for a while to recover, he sat in front of the window and practiced seriously with his pipa in his arms.

In the evening, news came that Fang Changzai had collided with the concubine who was admiring the lotus in the imperial garden, and almost caused the concubine to fall into the water.

The concubine then made Fang Changzai kneel in the shade of the imperial garden for an hour, carefully reflecting on the rules. Unexpectedly, the weather was hot, and Fang often suffered from sunstroke after kneeling for too long.

The emperor went to have dinner at Concubine Tian's palace. During the dinner, Concubine Tian mentioned the incident of Concubine Xi being bumped into by Fang Changzai, complaining that there were too many people who violated the rules.

The emperor sent an oral instruction to Fang Changzai: "Copy the "Palace Rules" twenty times, and you will not violate it again in the future."

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

Everyone secretly thought that Xi Concubine and Meng Jieyu were probably incompatible with each other.

After dinner, the emperor returned to the Qinzheng Hall to handle political affairs. At the end of the evening, he turned over Lin Changzai's sign.

When Chun En Luan Feng's sedan chair came to pick up Lin Chang Zai, she had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep, having a sweet dream.

This day is as exciting as a roller coaster.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, the emperor said in a nonchalant manner, "Concubine Tian said that you are well-behaved and sensible, and please her very much. Please let me love you more."

Lin Changzai quickly thanked him, feeling quite uncomfortable but full of joy.

The current position is not up to anyone's control. Follow whichever master the empress does not follow. Although Concubine Tian is dangerous, she is favored by the emperor after all. Being able to see the emperor every day is considered a better destination.

Lin Changzai was left alone in Qianqing Palace again, and the emperor allowed her to go back the next day.

The Qianqing Palace is lit with ambergris, the temperature is moderate, and there are no mosquitoes. In such a comfortable environment, Lin Changzai felt drowsy, so he naturally stayed.

Her mood this time was very different from the day before. She was both excited and uneasy.

Her throat hurt even more, but she was happy with it.

She had a very restless sleep that night and woke up many times.

The very next day, the emperor issued an oral edict and gave Lin Changzai the title "Yu".

Happy, happy.

The literal meaning is that the emperor praised her for serving her well and being in a happy mood.

The title is not so serious and makes people daydream.

I am always happy but I couldn't be more satisfied. After all, I have been promoted again and again in just a few days. Regardless of whether the "title" is high-end and classy, ​​as long as the emperor is satisfied with her, then she will still have a chance to climb up.

She was grateful to Concubine Tian from the bottom of her heart.
