Chapter 12 The new official takes office (2)

If he wants to drink tea, will she make it for him?

Zhong Weiwei pretended not to understand Chonghua's hint, and said seriously: "Return to Your Majesty, I am discussing with Wang Tongshi about the duty."

Seeing Chonghua half-cast her eyes and said nothing, she snapped her fingers and said one by one: "Tong Shi, in charge of the daily life of the palace and the affairs of the inner court.

Although the late Emperor's funeral was less than a hundred days old, His Majesty had just entered Beijing from Cangshan Mountain. The mansion was vacant before and there were no female relatives in the mansion, so everything should be prepared.

I heard that the Ministry of Rites has presented the roster of ladies who entered the palace this time to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, and I also ask Your Majesty to give the roster to my ministers for a look.

And, I wonder if His Majesty has someone he likes?If so, please inform Weichen, and Weichen will give priority to arranging the nobles to sit in bed. "

She finished speaking in one breath, very proud of her calmness, rationality and professional ethics. She smiled and looked at Chonghua, expressing her loyalty:
"Since coming to the imperial harem, rest assured, Your Majesty, I have known you since childhood, went out of the same family, have a brother-sister relationship, and have been entrusted by the late emperor, no matter what, I will stand by Your Majesty's side.

Keep an eye on the door for you, take care of chores, and save your Majesty from worries..."

"Zheng Gangzhong is in charge of the door, and Zhao Hongtu is in charge of chores. Do you think you can replace all of them?"

Chonghua didn't appreciate it at all, and pointed to the door with a gloomy face: "Since you think you are so capable, go there and guard it!"

Zhong Weiwei looked back and saw that the place Chonghua was pointing to was full of sunshine. In the dog days, if anyone spends half an hour there in the sun, he will faint first.

Thinking that she has just recovered from a serious illness and her health is not good, it is better not to be brave in such things.

She immediately washed her hands and smiled: "Your Majesty hasn't had the tea made by Weichen for a long time, right? Is this minister serving His Majesty to drink tea?"

Chonghua slammed the memorial in his hand on the table, and burst into anger: "Who do you think you are? Can you live without me? You are the only one who is proficient in tea ceremony in this world?"

Zhong Weiwei's smile remained unchanged, and he became more respectful: "Your Majesty calm down, your majesty is right. It's not that your majesty can't live without your humble minister, but that your majesty can't live without your majesty."

Chonghua glared at her viciously: "Go down!"

Zhong Weiwei backed out neatly, walked to the door and turned around, turned around and was about to run, but was stopped by the little eunuch:

"Zhong Tongshi, Your Majesty wants you to stand here and guard the door. Do you want to leave before you finish your errands? This is contempt for the majesty of the king."

This little eunuch was the one who went to the Shangyi Bureau to announce her and gave her a blank stare.

Zhong Weiwei's old and new grudges welled up in his heart, and he smiled slyly: "This little father-in-law is so kind-hearted, how dare I ask your name?"

The little eunuch straightened his chest: "Li Anren, the imperial eunuch."

Glancing at Zhong Weiwei, he was slightly proud: "Zhong Tongshi will not recognize our family. Our family has been serving His Majesty in Cangshan Mountain before. His Majesty was called to Beijing, and our family followed into the palace."

small sample.Don't you just want to tell her that he has a different identity?No wonder they are so arrogant.

Zhong Weiwei smiled: "No wonder...you went to Cangshan Mountain after I left, right?"

In terms of qualifications, who can compare to her?She and Chonghua got acquainted ten years ago, and they almost became husband and wife.

Li Anren gave her another look: "I know Zhong Tongshi, I heard that you were greedy for glory, betrayed your trust, changed your mind when you saw something different, and left your majesty to enter the palace by yourself for the sake of enjoying happiness.

How about it, I didn't expect His Majesty to be the prince, or the late emperor's default heir to the throne, right?Do you have any regrets? "

Zhong Weiwei's face turned pale, but she didn't care about it: "Well, I regret it, my intestines are green with regret. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take, otherwise I will try to get some to eat."

"I will never repent." Li Anren rolled her eyes at her, walked away angrily, and muttered in a low voice as he walked, "Your Majesty is so merciful, if it were me, I would have beaten this kind of person to death with a stick, and dragged him out to feed the dogs." gone."

Zhong Weiwei could hear clearly, stretched with a smile, and walked to the place designated by Chonghua to stand.

Glancing at Chonghua first, seeing that he was approving the memorial with his head down, with a concentrated expression, and he didn't seem to be staring at her, so he took a step quietly and stood in the shadows against the sunlight.

For a whole afternoon, Chonghua ignored her. She watched Chonghua finish approving the memorial from sunset to the time when she held the lamps, and then summoned the courtiers to discuss matters, and then enjoyed all kinds of delicacies in peace. I can't figure it out like a mess.

Simply let go of your thoughts, stare blankly there, not paying attention to anything.

After a long time, the second watch drum sounded, and Li Anren brought her two cold steamed buns angrily: "Here, Your Majesty rewards you with dinner!"

Zhong Wei only smiled, took the steamed bun, and shouted: "Thank you for your gift!"

Chonghua, who was sitting high in the hall, raised his head, looked at her with heavy eyes, and waved to her.

Zhong Weiwei entered inside with a steamed bun: "What is your Majesty's order?"

In the shadows of many lights, Chonghua is like a god, unattainable, with a pair of black eyes with the color of ice and fire as cold as snow: "What do you think?"

Zhong Weiwei blinked: "I am dull, please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Chonghua showed a bit of impatience: "Zhong Weiwei, don't pretend to be confused! Do you still want Xiaotang to come back?"

Zhong Weiwei's straight back suddenly relaxed, she put the steamed bun aside, and saluted Chonghua sincerely:

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive the guilty minister for being blind and slow to treat His Majesty. At the beginning, even if he died, the guilty minister should not have left Cangshan."

This was said calmly, without any resentment, but Chonghua heard a lot of perfunctory resentment from it.

He sneered: "Were you going to die at that time? Someone forced you to die? Are you so impatient to soar into the sky?"

Even if he is not dead, he is not far from death.

There was a dull pain in Zhong Weiwei's heart, countless grievances and anger, and then he felt that things have passed for so long, and what should have happened has already happened, why bother so much?
What's more, strong and powerful people always think that they are right and not wrong, and all mistakes belong to others. Why is she talking about this with him?
Since he was brooding, she just admitted his mistake.Worship again, and sincerely said: "It's all the fault of the guilty minister."

Her posture was low enough, but Chonghua couldn't be happy.

His gaze seemed to fall on Zhong Weiwei, but it seemed to fall into the distance through her, dull: "This is the list of concubines who are about to enter the palace, you can take it."

Zhong Weiwei stepped forward, took the roster with downcast eyes, and accidentally touched Chonghua's cold hand, she was startled, and quickly stopped, just as Chonghua let go, the roster fell to the ground.

Zhong Weiwei immediately bowed down and confessed: "I deserve death for my crimes."

"You really deserve death." Chonghua gritted his teeth and walked away.

Zhong Weiwei looked at the roster covered in vermilion brocade, feeling sad for a while.
