During this June, the inland was relieved of the drought due to heavy rain, and the imperial court urged all provinces and counties to take advantage of the rain to replant.The emperor ordered the local government office to lend farm tools and seeds, collect taxes late, and vowed to ensure that there was still a harvest in this severe drought year.

Important changes have also taken place in the military situation in the Northwest. In June, Maishu, Zhaohui, Fude and others led the imperial army and began to attack the last strongholds of the Xiaohezhuo brothers: Kashgar and Yarkand.

On June [-], Fude set off from Khotan and marched into Yarkand.On June [-], Zhaohui led [-] troops and marched south from Wushi to Kashgar.

Seeing that the situation is over, brothers Daxie and Zhuo began to arrange their escape.

On June [-], Eser Yin and Mamut's uncle and nephew, also from the Hezhuo family, fought with Yamato Zhuoporoni, killed many people, and then came to the Zhaohui military camp to surrender.

On June 27th, Dahe Zhuoporoni fled west; on June [-]nd, Xiaohe Zhuoxi fled.

On June [-]th, Zhaohui entered the city of Kashgar, and Fude's pioneer Oboshi entered the city of Yarkand.On June [-]th, Fude entered Yarkand.

The emperor was overjoyed and ordered Zhaohui to stay in Kashgar to handle the affairs of Kashgar and Yarkand; Fude and Mingrui led troops to pursue them quickly.

So far, the chaos of size and Zhuo has been settled.

The good news from the Northwest has wiped out all the previous ominous events such as the double eclipse of the sun and the moon, the severe drought, and the premature death of the emperor and grandson.
.
On the occasion of this great joy, on the tenth day of the first month of June, the "Yuxi Place" under the palace's supervision officially reported the meeting of the concubine Ling and Duogui.

The Yuxi Office is dedicated to digging pits and burying afterbirth when concubines give birth.Since the Yuxi Department officially reported the Yuxi of the two, it meant that the place was about to officially start preparations for the birth of the two of them.

On June 22nd, the emperor also officially conferred the title of "Rui Changzai" on Yurui.

This year, the harem bestowed three honorable women who learned the rules, and the first two were both queens and pure imperial concubines respectively. They should have been granted higher honors than Yurui; It was sealed from the promise; and it was directly titled "Rui".

For the Yiguiren and Guo Changzai in front, the characters "Yi" and "Guo" both come from their mother's surname or tribe. They are just "names", not "titles".

And Yurui not only has a title, but also the word "Rui", which makes people naturally associate it with the meaning of auspiciousness, which coincides with the celebration of the frequent news of success in Northwest China at this time.

Wanxi also grabbed Yurui's hand and said with a smile, "Not to mention the character 'Rui', which is in the shape of jade and the sound of Rui, which fits your name; moreover, the character for 'Rui' still uses the character for jade. Edge."

"The emperor is the person who loves jade the most, so he used the characters next to the jade character when naming the princes. This can be regarded as an 'imperial radical', and the emperor chose such a word for you... It shows that the emperor has Pay more attention to you."

Wanxi deliberately raised her eyes to look up at the sky, "Let me think about it, it seems that among the titles of so many dignitaries in our palace, you are the only one with a jade character like you?"

Those who are always in the sixth house and who agree to the status also come to say congratulations.But even though Concubine Wan, Concubine Yuqin and Concubine Ying were all concubines, they all came in person because of their close relationship for many years.

Concubine Wan walked in and heard what Wanxi said, and she also smiled and said, "Who says it's not? Even if the status of the resident is not high, the title is precious! I think the emperor is willing to give a resident For such a good title, why not go to Ruiguiren, Ruifei, Ruifei in the future?"

Yuqin also smiled and said, "Rui, you believe in jade. Yurui, please tell me, what have you done to make people think you are a jade seal or talisman? Who did you help? What news did you deliver?"

Concubine Ying also came forward to tickle Yu Rui, laughing together, "Prince, close relatives, there are so many royal nephews. The words next to the jade characters are almost used up; why is the emperor so generous?" , I gave you such a word with good shape and meaning! This is not pampering you, what is it, huh?"

Yu Rui was so ashamed that she had no choice but to step forward and hug Wanxi's arm, and hide behind Wanxi.

"Master, what do you mean I'm the only one? Master's word 'Ling' is clearly the first one in the harem to be titled 'Yude'!"

"And the master's word 'Ling' is so wonderful that jade virtue is hidden in the meaning of the word, but not above the shape of the word. And the character 'Rui' of the slave is related to jade, but it just puts it straight It's just on the bright side. From this it can be seen that the emperor is too lazy to give the master a little more thought..."

"Compared with the character 'Ling' of the master, the character 'Rui' of the slave is neither new nor profound. The slave thinks that the emperor gave the word slave because the slave is a woman under the position of the master. I also follow the master to take it, so that the slave will remember for the rest of his life that the slave is the master's slave, and everything today is thanks to the master's blessing."

Wanxi's heart ached when she heard that, she hurriedly stretched out her arms to hug Yurui, "Silly girl..."

Bai Changzai came in from outside, just in time for this scene.Bai Changzai clapped his hands lightly with a smile, "...my concubine thinks that Rui Changzai's words are very reasonable. "Book of Rites" says that 'Gui is Rui', and the word 'Ling' in the concubine's concubine There is a saying of 'Like Guirui, Ruzhang, Let the News Make You Hope'."

"That's why, my concubine also feels that Rui Chang's title here is because of Ling Fei, the emperor specially gave it to her."

Yurui finally laughed, escaped from behind Wanxi, stepped forward and hugged Bai Changzai, "Bai Changzai still understands me best!"

Yu Rui said, looking back at those people and made a face, "Unlike those masters, who are either concubines or concubines, how can we understand the heart that we should always be here?"

Wanxi hurriedly reached out her hand to Bai Changzai, "Shui Ling, come here quickly, don't listen to Yu Rui's nonsense!"

Wanxi just said this, and Yu Rui immediately understood, and hurriedly bowed to Bai Changzai, "Oh, look at my broken mouth, what are you talking about! Sister Bai already had a concubine named Yi, so Bai Changzai My sister doesn't care about her status anymore."

After all, Bai Changzai has been in the permanent position for ten years.

The emperor is kind, and the concubines in the palace usually start with the permanent presence, so it is not easy to agree; but this is the case, the annual silver allowance for the permanent presence is only 50 taels.

And often because of the low status, they always give gifts to the lord of the palace, the birthdays of the princes and princesses, and New Year's festivals.The 50 taels of silver are not enough for a living, not even for a gift.Therefore, if you are not favored all the time, you can only live a miserable life in the palace based on your own merits, and you can't even compare with merchants' homes outside the palace.

Therefore, these years, Bai Changzai has been in a rather difficult situation.Fortunately, the emperor thought of her sister Yipin, and she usually rewarded Bai Changzai; besides, her brother Bai Yongji was the treasurer of the internal manufacturing office, and all the people who passed the job were the highest-grade gold, silver and emerald jade, so Bai Yongji was also quite happy. Give some money to my sister.

Her other elder brother, Bai Yongqing, was appointed as the magistrate of Zichuan County in Zibo last year, and his official career is quite promising.

Wanxi smiled and held Bai Changzai's hand, "Shui Ling's temperament is the most tranquil, so what if he is in Chang Zai's position? Shui Ling's blessing is no worse than anyone else's."

Bai Changzai looked at Wanxi with a smile, "My concubine has been in the palace all these years, if I don't have the help of my concubine, how can I stay calm until now? After all, my sister left early, and my brother is a foreign minister, so I can't see each other. Concubine Her status is low, and she doesn't have the qualifications to speak in front of people. If it wasn't for the protection of the concubine in everything, the concubine would have been buried in the smoke and dust in this palace wall."

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "Don't say that. Have you taken care of your family affairs?"

Bai Changzai couldn't help but sneer crisply, "The cooking is over! Finally waited until she died!"

In February, Fan, the "aunt" of the Bai sisters, finally died.

The mother of the Bai sisters, surnamed Zhang; this Fan claimed to be the "di mother" of the Bai sisters when she entered the banner under the order of the Bai family. It's just the "mother" of Yangzhou Shouma.

In these years, the Fan couple relied on Concubine Yi to become concubines, and they were able to enter the banner and enjoy the money, food, houses, and land property of the court.

But such a person has a hard life, and he survived until Yibin passed away first, and he didn't die until this year.

Bai Changzai's eyes were slightly cold, "Fan's dead, my 'father' shouldn't live alone. I figured he should die within this year..."

Bai Changzai has been quiet in the palace these years, and it is rare for everyone to see such a cold and determined expression on her face.For a moment, everyone held their breath.

Bai Changzai bowed and saluted embarrassingly, "...it's all my fault, what are you talking about those people doing now? Today is a good day for Rui Chang to be here, and it's all because of my words."

"Rui is here, please forgive me."

Yu Rui hurriedly said with a smile, "Sister Bai, don't say that. Since today is a good day, it's not just my good day, it's also my sister's good day. Then I'm happier in my heart."

Only then did Bai Chang stepped forward with a smile and held Yu Rui's hand.

While talking, Yuchan came in and replied, "Master, all masters, young masters, Echang is here."

At this time, there are only a few Chang Zai in the palace, Bai Chang Zai is here, and E Chang Zai will naturally follow.

Wanxi nodded, "Please."
.
E Changzai walked in, saluted Wanxi, Wanpin and other high-ranking concubines to greet him; turned around and saluted Yurui and Bai Changzai.

The salute is over, Wanxi invites E to sit often, and the tea service is over.Only then did Wanxi quietly raise her eyes, looking at the woman beside E Changzai, she asked, "...I remember, the one who came to give a thank you gift for E Changzai last time was Miss Luoxia."

E Changzai hurriedly glanced at the woman next to him, and the woman hurried forward to salute, "Return to the imperial concubine, the slave is called Gu Wu."

Wanxi raised her eyebrows, "'The sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky'. Your master is very talented."

E Changzai blushed and bowed his body, "I made my concubine laugh at me... This concubine has only read a few Chinese poems superficially, because these are famous lines, so I can barely remember a few sentences. If you talk about the quality of Sinology, how is my concubine?" Compared with the concubine Ling, the concubine Wan, the concubine Qing, and Bai Changzai?"

Yuqin smiled unceremoniously, "It's a pity that the harem is the most concerned about high and low. These things like 'flying together' and 'one color' can only be thought of in the harem."

E Chang's face suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up and saluted Yuqin, "My concubine is a Manchu, and I don't understand Chinese poetry very well, but I just think these words are nice, so I use them as a little girl for girls." My name. My little concubine never thought about going so much."

Wanxi gently pressed Yuqin's hand.

Concubine Ying couldn't help but chuckled, "As for me, I don't know much about Sinology. I just think that the character 'Luo' in 'Luoxia' is not good; the character 'Gu' in 'Gu' is not good. "

"I think E Chang is by my side, and there are two other women who are rough envoys, named 'Qiu Shui' and 'Chang Tian' respectively? I think those two names are better than E Chang in front of me." The two women on the job are more auspicious."

E Changzai was not stupid, and hurriedly got up to salute, "Because the concubine Ling is pregnant with the emperor's heir, it is usually not suitable to disturb, so the concubine did not come to the island to pay her respects to the concubine Ling for some days. The nearest one is just called Luo Xia came to give the concubine Ling a thank you gift... The concubine privately speculated, could it be that the concubine failed to come here in person last time and was rude in front of the concubine Ling?"

"Or... Luoxia, that slave, came in front of the concubine Ling, didn't know the rules, messed up, said and did something, made the concubine Ling uncomfortable?"

Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly.

Yurui stood in front of Wanxi with a smile, and Chao'e was always smiling.

"How could it be? The women under E Chang's position naturally know the rules the most. Contrary to what E Chang was worried about, Luoxia is the most sensible. It was the three pills in front of Concubine Yu who came to greet her first, but But it was Luoxia who came to me first and called me 'Little Master'."

"I didn't know how to speak to Master Ling about the entry into the seal, but I would like to thank Luoxia for explaining the matter clearly in advance for me."

Seeing Yurui pick up the words, Echang finally showed some embarrassment on his face.

But she quickly covered it up, instead she raised her head and smiled at Yurui, "It's a good thing that Ruichang is in Jinfeng, Luoxia and I are happy to see it happen?"

"Since it's a good thing, I don't understand why Ruichang looks so unhappy at this moment? Could it be that if Luoxia didn't tell the truth, wouldn't Ruichang be here to sleep? Ruichang is feeling that I feel sorry for the concubine Ling, and you don't have to throw fire at us, Luoxia, right?"

"Besides, Ruichang was so drunk on the road, and we, Luoxia, took care of him all the way. There is no credit and hard work. Ruichang is still there, so he won't be enfeoffed as a young master. This is despised. .”

Yu Rui chuckled, "It's good that E Chang is talking about it! If E Chang didn't mention that I was drunk that day, I wouldn't be ashamed to mention it! I asked myself that I still have a little capacity for alcohol, we girls who are full of people, Who didn't drink a few cups of wine when they were young?"

"But I got drunk so easily that night. The wine is thin wine, and it was given to us officials and girls. How could it be strong alcohol? Why did I get drunk so easily?"

E Chang was sneering when he heard this, and he was not polite, "Oh, Rui Chang is pointing at people outside the words, right? Then do you need me to invite Concubine Yu over here, and let's talk to Rui Chang together?" Now that you have said it carefully, or because Rui Changzai is the emperor's new favorite, then Concubine Yu will join me in apologizing to Rui Changzai?"

Wanxi's eyes turned lightly, "E Changzai said it well, I will have to ask Concubine Yu about this sooner or later. Yurui was only here for the first time, and she has no right to say anything to Concubine Yu. But Since she was entrusted under my position, I will take care of her for the rest of my life. Her business is mine; if it is inconvenient for her to talk to Concubine Yu, and me, I can say it~"

Having said that, E Changzai knew that the general situation was over.

E Changzai glanced at Yurui and smiled, "Because the two of us serve the fifth elder brother together, I know that it will be difficult for you and me to get along. Besides, the little elder brother died young at this moment. Naturally, I feel wronged for your sister, so I have to bear the grudge on my sister; if you get involved, you will hate me too, right?"

"Little elder brother passed away, none of us have any heart. But at least your sister encountered sad things, but you were able to enter the seal. It's always a good thing, and the two sides are balanced. You should be more fortunate in your heart. Why bother You just entered Feng Changzai, so you're so disrespectful to me?"

Yu Rui chuckled, "There is a god standing three feet up! Whoever did what, God will have retribution sooner or later!"

Wanxi frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to hold Yu Rui, and deliberately covered her stomach and let out a low cry.

Yu Rui hurriedly turned around, fell to her knees in shock, already in tears, "Master... this slave made a mistake."

Wanxi raised her eyes and stared quietly at E Changzai, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. E Changzai should go back first, we'll talk about it some other day."
.
E often walked away gnashing his teeth.

Wanxi nodded lightly, "I'm fine, I just showed her. I just told her to go, after all, today is a good day for you to enter the seal, so you don't need to waste these words with her."

"Anyway, we won't just let the matter of that day go by in vain. The time in the harem is so long, there will always be a day when we sit down and settle the accounts carefully."

Yu Rui nodded with tears in her eyes.

Wanxi took Yu Rui's hand, "...she has lived in Jingren Palace all these years, reclusive, and never asked about foreign affairs. No matter what grievances she has endured for so many years, why is it this year, this matter? , can't hold back all of a sudden?"

Yu Rui quickly raised her eyes, "Master is worried, there are others behind E Chang, she just can't help instigating?"

Wanxi nodded, "Although your sister gave birth to a little grandson this year, it caused some entanglements between her and you...but, after all, it's someone else's business, isn't it? Why can't she hold back so much?" Do you have to jump out?"

Yu Rui also sneered, "Master is right. If there is someone else behind her, I wouldn't be worth fighting her face to face like this. I have to get that person out together. It will save me Here, I and E are always arguing, but that person hides aside, secretly having fun."

Concubine Wan hurriedly stepped forward to grab one of them, "Even if you want to settle accounts, don't be in a hurry. It's better to ask Concubine Ling to give birth to the emperor's heir in a stable manner first."

"Even when something happens, don't make it happen at this moment."

Concubine Ying also said, "What's more, in July, the emperor still wants autumn magnolia. What is it, we will wait until the emperor returns to Luan in September or October. It is already June in leap, but there are still two or three months left." It's a month away, we must hold back."
.
The crowd dispersed, leaving only Wanxi and Yurui in the hall.

Wanxi clung to Yurui's hand, and said softly, "I understand, this is a knot in your heart. You feel that you can't face me, so you always have to find out the person who tampered with your wine and give it to me. An explanation, and an explanation to the knot in my heart."

"That's why today, you are always facing Na'e, that's why you can't hold your breath."

"But let me tell you, I have already untied that knot myself. I don't have any grievances with you anymore—if there is, I only feel sorry for you."

Wanxi sighed softly, "In fact, if anyone in the wine has tampered with, the emperor will try to keep you; therefore, if you still feel unhappy, you can put it on my account—after all , Your Majesty's design like this is also for my own sake."

"After all, no matter how easy it is to find an official woman, a confidant is the rarest; and you, Yurui, are the only one in the world. I lost the jade pot once, and I let Yuye go with my own hands, but I still want to keep you cruelly. "

Yu Rui shook her head with tears in her eyes, "What is the master talking about? How could the slave blame the master and the emperor? The slave...doesn't regret all of this, the slave just hates someone for plotting against the slave and making the slave lose his composure..."

Wanxi nodded, "Since someone has tampered with it, we won't spend our whole life in a daze. Those who plot against us, we will settle the account sooner or later."

"I just... don't want you to still be unable to untie this knot in your heart. If you have a grudge in your heart, you must be happy every day in the days to come. That is the pain of loved ones, and the enemies will soon go away."

Yu Rui nodded vigorously, "...the slave is most worried about the master's lack of energy. Now that I have heard the words of the master today, the slave feels better. Don't worry, the master, the slave will definitely not do it again."

Wanxi hugged Yurui's shoulders with a smile, "... This Yongshou Palace will always be your home. Yurui, in this life, we both depend on each other, so we must live every day well."

Yu Rui nodded vigorously, tears were already falling from her eyes.

"With the master here, I can still see the emperor from a distance. Even if I stay in the palace for the rest of my life, the slave will be satisfied. The slave has no regrets, and the slave is willing to live like this for the rest of his life."

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "Then listen to me, from now on, call me sister instead. Don't call me master anymore."

Yu Rui was dumbfounded, raised her eyes to look at Wan Xi, and shook her head vigorously.

"The slave said that he will be the master's slave for the rest of his life."

"Silly girl." Wanxi shook her head lightly, "Not only has your identity changed, but my affection for you has long been more than just that of a master and servant. I have wanted to recognize you as my sister for a long time."

Yu Rui lifted her robe and fell to her knees, still crying and shaking her head, she refused no matter what.

Wanxi snorted softly, "Just now you said that you will be my slave for the rest of your life, so you dare not listen to me?"

Yu Rui was stunned, not knowing how to defend herself.

Wanxi sighed softly, got up and came to help Yurui herself.

Yurui was also afraid that Wanxi would stretch her stomach, so she didn't dare to insist, so she got up quickly.

Wanxi raised her hand and personally wiped away the tears on Yurui's cheeks.

"Anyway, listen to me, I'll call you that from tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I won't allow you to be my little master all the time, and come to serve me every day!"

"In short, in my Yongshou Palace, only Ruichang will be there from now on, and there will be no more official women, Yurui."

(Continue to ask for the monthly ticket, and I will add more to everyone in two days to thank you~)
