Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

"Can I give my concubine a colorful purse and a red gold carved lotus bracelet?"

The colorful flower purse of Hundred Sons and Hundreds of Suns is made of goose-yellow brocade as the base, and is embroidered with dozens of children with different expressions using various colored silk threads. Although the children are small, their expressions are lively and interesting. Some are flapping butterflies, and some are making water. After all, they are The palace-made purse is solid every stitch.The colors are also bright.

A red gold engraved lotus bracelet with a hollow in the middle and a sparkling pearl inlaid in the hollow. The lotus engraved on the red gold part looks like it is blooming in the water.

These two things are worth at least dozens of taels of silver.They are all made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Du Jiyan couldn't hold back his desire to make a fortune.

The emperor felt that something was wrong: "Du Chang is here, I haven't caused any trouble to you and Shi Jing about Er Tiao. Are you still worried about these things?"

"It's not necessary to have these two, other books are also fine, just those two books, "The Domineering President Fell in Love with Me" and

I don't think I have read "The Arrogant Young Master Chases His Wife Thousand Miles Away", I think I haven't read it. The emperor also knows that the night is long, so why not give these two books to me, I will definitely study them carefully. "

"Actually, I have wanted to reward you with something for a long time." The emperor picked up the purse and stuffed it into Du Jiyan's arms. Without saying a word, he put the red gold carved lotus bracelet on Du Jiyan's wrist.

There will never be such a resolute emperor again.

Very good.

The emperor has only one condition: "Don't tell anyone about these two books."

Yes Yes Yes.

Don't tell it.

Du Jiyan reminded the emperor: "Everyone in the palace is waiting for Xin'er. Er Tiao's matter must be settled. How does the emperor plan to solve it?"

Du Jiyan wildly showed off the purse and bracelet under the lamp.

The purse symbolizes good luck, and the bracelet is shining with gold.

The emperor was helpless: "This matter is all mine."

When greetings were given the next day, the seats in Jingren Palace were still full.

Some said: "That eunuch spent another day in the punishment department, but he has a tough mouth. He really didn't utter a single word."

Some said: "I heard that the Shenxing Division has submitted the evidence to the emperor. Our emperor is the wisest. The emperor will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. That eunuch is a tough mouth and will be pried open."

Tian Lingyue picked up a cup of chrysanthemum tea and sipped it carefully. The tea was fragrant. She applied water-red rouge, and smiled softly with thin eyebrows and thin eyes: "We are all people who abide by the rules. I don't know who dares to violate the palace rules." , colluding with the eunuchs to steal palace items, it has ruined the reputation of the concubines in the harem, and their intentions are to be punished."

Meng Yuzhu pinched her handkerchief: "We must investigate this matter carefully and find out that person so that the harem can live in peace. Otherwise, all the gold and silver guys in the harem will be sold out of the palace by her. It doesn’t sound like it’s being spread out. Who does the Queen think is behind this?”

Queen Jingren Palace yawned.

Because of Nijo's incident, these concubines have been arriving early and on time recently.

It seems that he has made up his mind to eat this melon.

Especially Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue danced the most happily.

We held a chrysanthemum banquet first, and I haven’t read the bunch of scriptures I’ve collected yet. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and I have to make arrangements for the inventory of items in the palace, the arrangements for rituals, and the appointments with the imperial ladies to give out rewards. The Queen Mother also needs to go there. You have to worry about it. The Queen Mother is old and the weather is cold. The supply must be sufficient. If the Queen Mother needs anything, she must be diligent to serve her.

There is work everywhere, and there is a lot of work when you open your eyes.

After finally holding a morning meeting and sitting and eating fruit with everyone, Meng Yuzhu came again.

Every time Meng Yuzhu spoke, the queen felt a sense of urgency to go to work and her head was buzzing.Let's just leave the good days of eating and drinking and just messing around all day long.

"Queen, please speak." Meng Yuzhu stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"It is not convenient for me to handle this matter."

"The Empress is the master of the harem. Any concubine who makes a mistake will be dealt with by the Empress. Why is it that the Empress does not deal with the instigator behind the scenes now? Is she condoning it?"

When Meng Yuzhu said this, everyone looked at Mr. Wei.

If the Empress wants to indulge, it must be to indulge Mr. Wei.

Guiren Wei is the queen's sister.

Does this matter have anything to do with Mr. Wei?
The queen said: "I have just received the letter, and I was about to share it with my sisters when the noble concubine came to ask. In this case, let's talk about it together. The person who instigated Nijo is the emperor, so it is not convenient for me to deal with it."

Meng Yuzhu stood up directly.

Is the emperor the one who ordered Erjo to carry something?She didn't believe it a hundred times.

But does the queen dare to frame the emperor?Of course not.

So this answer should be given by the emperor.

The emperor wants to protect Ertiao?
Meng Yuzhu did not dare to ask any more questions.

Jingren Palace was lit with a faint scent of agarwood.

There is a gray-blue pot-bellied narrow-mouth vase placed on the long table, with a few dried light yellow wild chrysanthemums inserted in the vase.The wild chrysanthemums bloomed with abandon, and even though they were dried in the sun, they still maintained their frosty look.

There are several hand-written scriptures placed on the ancient bookshelf.

A "Picture of Peach Blossom Spring" hangs on the left side of the main hall, and a "Picture of Ten-Colored Chrysanthemums" hangs on the right side.

The queen was sitting with a heater in her hand, and her open coat embroidered with white cranes was noble and dignified: "The emperor has already sent two items to the punishment department. It seems to be a misunderstanding. The emperor asked people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make the purse and bracelet as a gift. Du Chang was a reward for sleeping in. Unexpectedly, the guards at the palace gate grabbed it and started making a fuss."

"Since the emperor asked Er Jiao to give it to Du Changzai, why was it seized by the palace guards?"

Meng Yuzhu's question makes sense.

After all, no matter how hard you walk from the Taihe Palace to the Yongfu Palace, you can't reach the palace gate.

"Shi Xiunu asked Erjo to deliver a letter to her home. Erjo thought to deliver the letter first and then come back to deliver the bracelet. That's why the guards caught him."

Then he asked Du Jiyan: "Do you like what the emperor gave you?"

Du Jiyan deliberately exposed the red gold bracelet on his wrist and the purse on his waist. His words were all about showing off his beloved concubine: "Back to the Queen, this purse is exquisite and the bracelet is expensive. I like it very much."

Meng Yuzhu still didn't believe it: "As far as I know, the emperor hasn't summoned the empress for a long time. Where did this news come from?"

The queen was embarrassed.

Hit people without hitting them in the face.

The queen was not welcomed by the emperor, and she did not see the emperor for ten days and a half. Meng Yuzhu always used this matter to poke holes in the queen's heart.

The people who eat melons are talking about it.

"It turns out that Nijo is working for the emperor. This is really a misunderstanding. No wonder he refused to confess even after being beaten in the Criminal Punishment Department. Who dares to confess to the emperor?"

"The people in the Shenxing Division are getting more and more outrageous. Even the emperor dares to interrogate people."

Tian Lingyue and Meng Yuzhu had sullen faces. Their plan failed and they were all in vain. They even lost a gold bracelet. They were really miserable.

As soon as the morning meeting ended, the two of them returned to Changle Palace with the heater under their arm.

Du Jiyan decided to kowtow to the emperor.

The emperor tried his best to turn the tide, regardless of personal gains and losses, and just took Ertiao's matter. What kind of sentiment and righteousness was this. Du Jiyan had to thank him for both emotion and reason.

When I arrived outside the Taihe Palace, I heard the emperor and Gao Rang whispering.

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter. During the sacrifice, the Queen Mother was also present. The Queen Mother will definitely ask. When the time comes, those in Qintian Prison will definitely say that it is unlucky."

"I asked you to find a craftsman to repair it, did you find it?"

"Those craftsmen were shocked when they heard that it was the Royal Yu Ru Gong. No ordinary person could repair it. Those craftsmen did not dare to take the job." Gao Rang sighed.

The emperor accidentally dropped the Yuru Gong to the ground, and the bow broke. It was not easy to repair it.

If the Queen Mother finds out, she will not be scolded.

If something as auspicious as Yu Ru Gong was broken, Qin Tianjian had to calculate for half a month to find the reason. In the end, he would say that it was because the emperor was not diligent in his work and had offended God. This was a reminder from God.

The craftsmen in the palace also asked each one one by one, but no one could repair it.

"If anyone can fix it, I would rather reward him with a piece of gold." The emperor also spent a lot of money.Gao Rang felt aggrieved and said to Bala: "Your Majesty, all craftsmen know their stuff. When I saw this bow, I was frightened. I'm afraid no one would dare to receive this ingot of gold."

An ingot of gold.

Twelve.

Du Jiyan was walking in the palace and was short of money.

For example, when the queen mother, emperor, and empress celebrate their birthdays, the concubines must prepare congratulatory gifts.

For example, you might want to add something during the holidays, or add two dishes to your small kitchen.

For example, give some rewards to the eunuchs and maids who serve you.

and many more.

It’s impossible without money.

When I was a beautiful girl, I had little money to spend.

As one's rank rises, there are more places to manage and more places where money is needed.

Her father, the censor Eucommia ulmoides, was an upright official. He was a member of the emperor and hundreds of officials. He didn't even have any friends, and he couldn't afford a concubine, so he couldn't support his daughter.

Everything depends on oneself.

He was obviously here to express his gratitude to the emperor, but now his desire to express his gratitude has faded, and his desire to make money has become more active.

"Hey, why are you here?" Gao Rang had quick eyes and quick hands and hid the broken Yuru Gong behind his back.

The emperor was as frightened as a bird: "The Queen Mother is here?"

"It's Du Changzai."

"Then why are you panicking?" The emperor sat back on the soft couch: "Tell her there is no need to thank me and let her go back. I have other things to do."

Du Jiyan knelt straight and said, "I'm not here to express my gratitude. I'm here to do business."

This answer left the emperor confused, and he called Du Jiyan in: "What's the business?"

"I am here to make money."

"What money do you make?"

"That ingot of gold."

"What gold?" The emperor deliberately concealed it. The more people knew about Yu Ru Gong, the harder he was scolded by the Queen Mother. Before Yu Ru Gong was repaired, the emperor did not want to cause trouble.

"I know someone who can make bows."

Joy appeared on the emperor's brows, and for a moment the sparkle in his eyes overflowed: "Now that you know it, I won't hide it from you. The bow is broken, and it needs a craftsman to repair it urgently. It can't be delayed for ten days." After the sacrifice at the Ancestral Temple, you said you know someone who can repair the Yuru Gong? Who can repair it?"

"Concubine."

The emperor couldn't wait for Du Jiyan to continue, but to his surprise, there was nothing more to say.

"Didn't you say you know someone who can cultivate the bow? Who can master it?"

"Concubine."

The emperor felt that he was being teased.

"Gao Rang, take this woman out."

Du Jiyan had only seen Yu Ru Gong once, how could she practice it?

"Your Majesty, after listening to what Du Changzai said, what if she really knows how to practice it?" Gao Rang held up the Yuru Bow and showed it to Du Jiyan. It wasn't because she believed that Du Jiyan had the talent to practice bows, but because he was a carpenter in the capital. I searched for no fewer than ten carpenters, all of whom were good carpenters by word of mouth, but without exception, no one could repair it. I asked all over the palace and outside the palace, and the sacrifice was imminent, so I had to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Although I helped you and rescued the eunuch, and I know you want to thank me, but Du Chang is here, you can't take any job randomly."

"My concubine is not just taking jobs randomly."

"Why do you say you can master Yuru Gong?"

"Thanks to my concubine's excellent skills."

"Do you have excellent skills?" The emperor wondered why he had never seen Du Jiyan use it before: "I don't know about your skills."

"The emperor has never seen my concubine's skills."

"Why haven't I seen this before?"

Gao Rang blushed with embarrassment, took one step back, then another step, and immediately retreated out of the door.

"What did Gao ask you to do?"

"Is it okay, my slave, to be here?"

"Where did you go? Come back." The emperor's ears turned red when he came back to his senses.

The emperor didn't believe that Du Jiyan could repair the bow, but Du Jiyan was sure of it: "If he can't repair it well, the emperor doesn't have to give him the gold."

"What if the repair is broken?" The emperor was worried that Du Jiyan would make Yu Ru Gong fall apart due to his tinkering, which would make it even more difficult to end.

Du Jiyan also worked hard for that ingot of gold: "With my concubine here, I can only repair it, not break it."

"You look like you are talking nonsense." The emperor held her wrist: "How many days will the construction period last? Is ten days enough?"

Ten days is already the limit.

If it can't be repaired in ten days, it's time to expose it.

"Three days." Du Jiyan patted his chest.

Seeing this nonsense, the emperor felt unsure, but he had no second choice.

Three days is three days.

During these three days, Du Jiyan was stationed in the side hall of Taihe Palace.

She made an agreement with the emperor, and the side palace belonged to her. She could concentrate on her work there, and no one else could disturb her.

Er Tiao, the eunuch who was released from the Sentence Department, will be the eunuch in charge of Du Jiyan from now on. He has a strict mouth and is reliable. If Du Jiyan needs anything in the past three days, Er Tiao will pass it on.

Three days were needed to repair the imperial bow. Time was running out. The emperor thought that Du Jiyan would seize the day and light the candles without letting him relax. He didn't want to go in. On the first day, Du Jiyan asked Er Tiao to bring her a pot of fruit wine and A plate of beef with soy sauce, a plate of diced chicken with gongbao, and another plate of Baihua cake. When the two came out, the plate was cleaner than my face.

Before the first day was over, Erjo was asked to go in and deliver food to her. He gave her a bowl of rice wine, glutinous rice balls and sweet-scented osmanthus soup, a plate of white chopped chicken, a plate of braised duck, and a box of bergamot gold rolls.

These dishes were all prepared from the emperor's royal dining room. Seeing the dishes being brought into the side hall of Taihe Palace, the emperor remained calm but kept glancing into the room with the corner of his eyes.

"Du Changzai, you were born from a pig but you can actually eat better than me."

"This woman is designated to come to Taihe Palace to eat and drink, and I actually believe that she can repair Yuru Gong."

After a while, I felt that there was no sound in the side hall.

Du Jiyan drank too much fruit wine and fell asleep.

The emperor kept walking back and forth in the Taihe Palace, and the golden bell rang again.

At nightfall, Du Jiyan held Yuru Gong in his hands and looked at it carefully.

In the past, I only knew about the colorful brilliance, but after seeing Yu Ru Gong, I realized that black also has brilliance.

The black is dazzling, shining, such a cold and dazzling black, shocking people's soul like a rattlesnake.

This heavy weight, the treasure that was once held in the hands of emperors of all dynasties, the weapon that wrote the history of the Chen Kingdom, now lay quietly in her hands.

It is like a seriously injured soldier who has spent his whole life fighting on the battlefield. Now his bones are broken, which is a bit desolate.

At this moment, Du Jiyan just wanted to fix it.
