Song Yi

Chapter 282

In the past few days, Song Shenzong has been depressed and unable to show a smile. Except for going to court, he has been sitting in the upper study room. Except for Ning Gonggong who is serving him, no one else sees him. There were many, but no one dared to ask, for fear of offending the emperor, everyone acted carefully, and the atmosphere inside and outside the palace seemed very tense.

Then again, this country belongs to the emperor, and the emperor's face is displeased, so who would feel better? Regardless of the country, women don't want it, and those who don't love the other will naturally get blisters in their mouths, but in the end I am in a hurry, and I have to count Eunuch Ning.

Eunuch Ning has been serving the emperor all the time, and he loves the emperor more than others. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a way. At this time, Eunuch Jiao came to visit at the order of the empress dowager, the empress dowager Hearing that Song Shenzong had been in a bad mood for the past few days, he asked him to ask.

Eunuch Jiao is more than ten years older than Eunuch Ning, and he gets along well with Eunuch Ning on weekdays, so he is not so polite and outspoken when he speaks.

The two found an empty corner outside the upper study room to talk.

Eunuch Ning briefly described Song Shenzong's situation, then he let out a long sigh, while Eunuch Jiao said with a smile: "Eunuch Ning, are you suffering from having nothing to do to share the emperor's worries?"

Eunuch Ning shook his head, with a bitter face, spread his hands, and said: "That's not true, Mr. Jiao can think of a way for our family, our family really has no choice."

"Where did I come up with these tricks?" Eunuch Jiao pretended to be helpless, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Eunuch Ning naturally knew that this old fox had a lot of ideas, otherwise how could he have risen from a young eunuch to the throne of the chief executive?
Eunuch Ning smiled obsequiously, bowed close and whispered: "You were also serving the emperor back then, and you were the one who spoke kindly in front of the emperor, which gave this servant the opportunity to serve the emperor for so many years. This servant still remembers your kindness to me. Well, now, there is nothing you can do about this slave, you can't just leave him alone!"

"Severe words!" Although Eunuch Jiao responded, he still liked to hear such good words in his heart.

Eunuch Jiao looked around, then leaned into Eunuch Ning's ear and whispered: "To be honest, we are all faces that the emperor sees every day. There is nothing new. Look at which empress the emperor likes to hang out in the palace recently. How about you?" Let that empress coax the emperor to be happy, there are some things...ah, I don’t tell you, but you understand, right?”

"It's not that I haven't thought about this trick, but... but the emperor doesn't see anyone all day, I..." Eunuch Ning looked at the closed door of the study and sighed again.

"How about..." Eunuch Jiao simply buzzed in Eunuch Ning's ear like a mosquito, and Eunuch Ning finally laughed.

"I think it's okay, if you have an idea, I'm going to go right away."

Eunuch Jiao grabbed Eunuch Ning, who was in a hurry to leave, and said, "But you can't..."

Eunuch Ning understood: "Don't worry, I'm naturally keeping my mouth shut. When the emperor is in a good mood, I will invite you to drink to thank you."

"The emperor is well. We can all be well. Why are you so polite." Eunuch Jiao shook his cuffs and said pretendingly.

"That is, that is, but this thank you is still needed. Hehe, our family is busy, see you later!"

"See you!"

Eunuch Jiao saw that Eunuch Ning entered the upper study room, then turned around, walked around the upper study room, walked to the side steps and left slowly.

The three-year draft is a lively event. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, all women who have reached the age of fifteen and whose parents are officials in the court must participate in the draft. The selected women will be sent to the palace to participate in the half-year show Training, this six months is very critical. Before entering the palace, many women have already taken care of everything for them at home. They are all operated in the dark, which is absolutely forbidden.

The sun has only slightly revealed a face, and the morning class in Leling Palace has already started.There was a melodious sound of the piano passing by in the sky, and a crisp sound came out from here, attracting troublemakers from other palaces to look at it one after another.

Not long after the morning class started, a few people came to Leling Palace, one by one in green shirts and long gowns, holding whisks, quietly entered Leling Palace from the side door, with gloomy faces in the place where the beautiful girls lived wandering around.

In the past, some people also saw that the nuns who were in charge of teaching were generally not allowed to enter, because it would affect the mood of Xiunu, but today is different, because the people who come are different, and the leaders are Ning Decai, Eunuch Ning, and the people around the emperor. Son, who dares to provoke.

An old eunuch hurried forward to support him, and first offered a few indispensable compliments, and then seeing that Eunuch Ning had a smile on his face, he dared to carefully ask him why he came.

"I just came here to take a look, and I'm bothering Eunuch Li."

The old eunuch, surnamed Li, shook his hands wildly after hearing this: "Mr. Ning's words can kill our family, and our family is looking forward to your coming every day." The old eunuch smiled obsequiously and turned his face The vicissitudes of life were piled up to the corner of his eyebrows, and he let Eunuch Ning into the house.

Eunuch Ning entered the front hall, sat in the front seat, lifted his front with both hands, sat down, and said slowly: "Hehe, I wonder if you can show us the brochure of this year's best girl?"

The old eunuch thought to himself, since people around the emperor came to see it, it was naturally aimed at the emperor, and the emperor wanted Eunuch Ning to check it out. Thinking of this, the old eunuch hurriedly found the booklet in person and offered it with both hands.

Eunuch Ning Erlang raised his legs, looked sideways at Eunuch Li, moved the corner of his mouth, picked up the tea he had just served, and sipped it lightly, making a creaking sound.

There are twelve volumes in the booklet, and one book contains 20 people. There are portraits and names on it, as well as the official position and hometown of the father as an official, etc. In fact, Eunuch Ning is not interested in these things. Come on, after a while, as soon as the morning class is over, these beauties will pass by the door in line, and then go to the embroidery room to be a female celebrity. Seeing real people is naturally more real than the appearances in the booklet. He can't look at it blatantly. Firstly, it's against the rules, secondly, he can't see some pretentiousness, so this is the best, today he even specially wore casual clothes that are not eye-catching, just for this.

"Eunuch, come, come!"

Eunuch Ning flipped through the booklet casually, and the little eunuch at the side saw someone coming, and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

Only then did Eunuch Ning look up, and he saw all the beautiful women's clothes on a group of graceful young women, they didn't think they were single, but each had their own charm.

The beautiful girls walked through the front hall one by one, and several old nuns sternly yelled at the beautiful girls who were looking at the front hall, holding a ruler in their hands, and knocking on their backs and shoulders from time to time: "Look!" What do you look at, if your eyes are not correct, your heart is not correct, let me look forward!"

Eunuch Ning secretly laughed, these nuns are not afraid of offending these beautiful women, maybe one or two queens and noble concubines will appear in the middle, but these nuns also have their words first, the strictness now is for the future, so the lesson is the lesson , but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. If you look closely at the strength and position of their beating, you can see that they are just scaring these girls.

Eunuch Ning watched carefully, and suddenly saw a woman in her late twenties, taller than the other women, neither thin nor fat, with an oval face, high nose bridge, serious expression, and she didn't even look into the door.Eunuch Ning noticed that her fists were clenched tightly, unlike other beautiful girls holding their own champagne in their hands, and they were about to pass, so Eunuch Ning quickly called the old eunuch to inquire.

"You mean No. 36, right?" The old eunuch squinted his old eyes and bent over to look carefully at the girl that Eunuch Ning was pointing at, for fear of making a mistake.

"It should be, the taller one."

"That's the 36th. I'll check her details for you."

Eunuch Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, just find a nanny and ask."

"Yes," the old eunuch hurriedly went out.

Soon the nanny with the loud voice came in with a smile on her face, bowed her body and stood sideways with her hands down, waiting for orders.

"Then what's the name of number 36?" Eunuch Ning asked.

"In the case of Eunuch Ning, her name is Yu Ge'er, she is 15 years old today, and her father is from Hangzhou..."

Eunuch Ning doesn't have time to listen to the affairs of the eighth generation of this girl's ancestors. These things have been checked carefully before entering the palace, so there is no need to ask again. The important thing is that he wants to know the temperament of this girl.

"Since the girl is from Hangzhou, it should be good to be a female celebrity, but what about her personality?"

Mammy smiled and said, "Eunuch, then you guessed wrong."

Seeing Mammy smiling strangely, Eunuch Ning said, "Wrong? Where did I go wrong?"

The mother covered her mouth and smiled, "This girl doesn't like female reds, but she likes to wield sticks and climb trees to climb houses. She is not a good manager."

"Oh?" Eunuch Ning was a little surprised, it wasn't like what he saw at first, he thought that the emperor didn't like making noise, so he should look at other things, just as he was thinking, Mammy said again: "But This girl has a good heart, likes to see injustice, and often stands up for sisters who are bullied by other beautiful girls, but she doesn't like to cause trouble, and she likes to read."

Eunuch Ning smiled faintly: "I can't see that you are still a master of both civil and military skills. Since what you said is so good, then bring it to our family to have a look."

"Yes!" Mammy walked to the door and called Yu Ge'er, just now the woman walked in with her head down.After Fuli, he stood sideways.

Eunuch Ning took a good look at her again, and saw that she was really dashing and heroic, with a handsome appearance, different from the usual delicate and weak women.Secretly nodded in amazement.He asked, "Are you still used to staying here?"

"Fortunately."

The nanny was anxious, and said: "Look, after more than ten days of teaching, you still don't know how to answer after seeing Mr. Ning. I think you owe a beating." She raised her ruler as she spoke.

"Wait!" Eunuch Ning stopped him.

"Look up and let me see."

The woman raised her head, and Eunuch Ning's heart skipped a beat, this chick is really handsome!I thought to myself, half of the men I see will feel that this woman is extraordinary, if another man comes to see it, I am afraid that he will have a nosebleed immediately.It's just that the expression is too serious, it seems that the emperor may not like it.I wanted to find someone to please the emperor, this one looks pretty good, but it's too cold, it may not be able to please the emperor, let's look at other women.Thinking of this, I didn't want to ask again.He waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go down."

"Elder-in-law, are you here to draft for the emperor? Can I have an audience with the emperor?" Yu Ge'er didn't leave, but unexpectedly said such a sentence, which shocked everyone present.

Mammy stepped forward to push and push, but Yu Ge'er didn't move at all, it seems that she has indeed practiced.

Eunuch Ning said with a smile: "Yes, yes. Why, do you want to see the emperor?"

Yu Ge'er smiled, showing her white teeth, and said, "Since you've come to the palace, you naturally want to see the emperor."

Eunuch Ning laughed and said, "You don't know how to hide your heart, that's fine, but you need to change your character, so as not to suffer in the future."

Yu Ge'er bowed his body and said: "Yes, the father-in-law's words will be kept in mind. If there is a chance to thank you in the future, Ge'er will spare no expense for today's sentence, and Ge'er will leave." He said and left.

Eunuch Ning turned his mind quickly, stretched out his hand and said, "Slow down!"

Yu Ge'er stopped, turned around and smiled, and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Eunuch Ning pondered for a moment, and said: "Eunuch Li, our family took this beautiful girl away. If you don't send it back at noon, you don't have to wait. Our family will naturally find someone to explain it tomorrow."

Eunuch Li was a little hesitant. After all, this was against the rules, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Eunuch, do you want to give Mr. Jiao a support?"

Eunuch Ning got up and straightened his clothes, looked at him sideways, and said, "Our family will tell you about this." After speaking, he glanced at Yu Ge'er again, and saw her expression was natural, showing no joy or worry, but rather It seems that he is very confident in his own appearance, as if he has already made up his mind, and he can't help being even more amazed.

Two hours later, go to the study.

A person who looked like a court lady walked in with a fruit plate, and when she walked to the desk, the woman looked up at Song Shenzong who was reading a book, only to hear Eunuch Ning cough lightly and said: "What is it today?" Fruit?"

"If you go back to Eunuch Ning, it's nothing more than some seasonal fruits. You don't expect to eat lychees and peaches in this season, do you?"

"How do you talk, this slave? Our family is just asking for the emperor."

Song Shenzong heard that the voice was unfamiliar, and no one had dared to speak like this in front of him before, so he looked up, and saw a tall, handsome court lady with a curvy figure standing in front of him and looking at him.Can't help but see a bright light, although this woman is not absolutely beautiful, but she has a unique taste, just like seeing the handsome mountain suddenly after seeing the endless plains, it is extraordinarily novel.

Yu Ge'er immediately caught the novelty in the emperor's eyes, stepped forward and knelt down, and said in a lark-like voice: "My servant Yu Ge'er knocked on the emperor."

Song Shenzong put down the scroll and said: "I looked at your face, it seems that it wasn't you yesterday, didn't it?"

"My servant thinks that the emperor's whole heart is in the book, but it seems that's not all."

Eunuch Ning stepped forward and scolded: "What are you talking about!"

Song Shenzong saw that this maid was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was not nervous when speaking, which was quite different from other court ladies. On the contrary, she became interested, waved to Eunuch Ning and said, "What she said is not wrong. Bring me some fruits for me to see."

These words were all discussed by Eunuch Ning and Yu Ge'er beforehand. Naturally, Eunuch Ning knew it well, and seeing that Song Shenzong was not annoyed, he felt even more confident.He quickly winked at Yu Ge'er.

Yu Ge'er got up on her knees, and came to Song Shenzong with a fruit plate, stretched out her slender fingers like orchid petals, nimbly picked up a juicy watermelon, and handed it to Song Shenzong, Yingying said: "Your Majesty, try this !"

Song Shenzong really gave this court lady face, but didn't eat it after taking it, looked at her and asked: "You just said that these are fruits that I eat every day, so I don't think they are fresh, why do you let me eat them?" What about eating?"

Eunuch Ning didn't expect that Long Live Lord would ask such a question, which he didn't expect in advance, and he couldn't help but glance at Yu Ge'er, his palms were sweating.

I saw Yu Ge'er still smiling and said: "This fruit is not that fruit, the same peach blossom, this one is different from that one. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Song Shenzong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you girl, you are interesting!"

Eunuch Ning hadn't seen Song Shenzong raise his eyebrows for three days, but today he saw him smiling, and his face was full of smiles, he hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, this court lady is really eloquent, how can she talk to you like this, let the servants take her away?" Hurry up and get someone else to serve you."

Song Shenzong bit a piece of watermelon, and said, "Xiao Ningzi, don't pretend to be. Didn't you choose all the servants in the study room yourself? If you don't like it, who would come in?" ?”

Eunuch Ning laughed dryly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Song Shenzong looked at Yu Ge'er and said, "Just let her serve me here, I see that she can speak better than you."

"Yes." Eunuch Ning thought to himself, what the slave wants is your words. Since you like it, it means that the slave's hard work has not been in vain. It seems that Yu Ge'er can still laugh. Beforehand, I was most worried about her pulling a Zhang face, now it seems that she is still obedient, that's right, if such a beautiful face doesn't smile, wouldn't it be a pity?

After Song Shenzong ate the melon, Yu Ge'er walked forward with a wet towel, and Eunuch Ning hurriedly said, "You just need to pass the handkerchief to the emperor, who told you to go forward?"

"But shouldn't slaves serve the emperor? How can there be any reason for the emperor to wipe his hands?"

Song Shenzong laughed again, pointed at the embarrassing Eunuch Ning, stretched out his hands for Yu Geer to wipe, and said, "Ha, I saw someone punish you today, hahaha..."

After wiping his hands, Yu Ge'er stepped back, Song Shenzong picked up the scroll and continued to read it, Yu Ge'er said: "Your Majesty, when this servant and maid came just now, I saw many flowers in the Imperial Garden blooming, I heard Eunuch Ning say that these flowers Some of them can be used as medicine, and some can be eaten?"

Song Shenzong looked up at Yu Ge'er, smiled and said, "Yes, why, do you want to go and see?"

Yu Ge'er smiled embarrassedly, and said, "As soon as I entered the capital, I went directly to the palace. In the past ten days, apart from looking at the mother's face, the slaves have not seen anything new."

Eunuch Ning carefully stared at Song Shenzong's expression, who would have thought that Song Shenzong would smile and nod, put down the scroll, stood up and stretched, and said, "That's fine, I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time, Since you want to see it, I will accompany you to see it."

"No, it's the servant girl who accompanied the emperor to have a look." Yu Geer hurriedly said with a smile, supporting Song Shenzong down the steps with both hands.

Eunuch Ning secretly admired this little girl, but after only a short while, she was able to let the emperor, who had been locked in the upper study for three days, go out.

After walking a few steps, the emperor stopped again, turned his head and said to Ning Gonggong: "You go and call Du Yuyi!"

Eunuch Ning was taken aback, what did the emperor ask the imperial doctor to do at this time, he didn't dare to ask more, he quickly agreed, trotted out, and asked Du Wenhao was in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, so he rushed there and delivered the emperor's oral order.

Du Wenhao didn't know what the emperor asked him to do at this time, so he hurriedly followed Eunuch Ning to the Imperial Garden.

From afar, he saw Song Shenzong pointing and talking with a court lady among the flowers, and instead of laughing happily, he rushed forward and bowed to salute: "My humble minister Du Wenhao, I greet the emperor."

"En! Du Aiqing is here," Song Shenzong nodded with a smile, pointed at Yu Ge'er and said to Du Wenhao, "Just now this... this... By the way, what's your name?"

Yu Ge'er saw a handsome man approaching him, and saw that the emperor and Eunuch Ning were very close to this man, and was wondering who this man was. After hearing the introduction, he realized that it was the famous imperial physician who was close to the emperor.Can't help but look at him a few times, distracted, heard the emperor suddenly asked himself, and then came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "If you return to the emperor, the servant is called Yu Ge'er."

"Oh, oh, look at my memory, you should have said it just now, but I actually forgot, yes, Yu Ge'er, Yu Ge'er wants to see the flowers in the Imperial Garden, I heard that you often teach the Empress Dowager to plant flowers , I must know a lot about flowers, and Yu Ge'er said that many flowers can be used as medicine, so I invite you to come and let you accompany me to talk about these flowers and see which flowers can be used as medicine."

Du Wenhao agreed, and peeked at Yu Ge'er, his eyes were tight, he probably had never seen it before, she was not the emperor's personal maid, Du Wenhao thought, seeing Eunuch Ning blinking his eyes for him, he guessed something in his heart, Eunuchs are best at these things. It seems that Song Shenzong really bought this Yu Ge'er's account, but it's not a bad thing. He always sulks in the study room. It's these current people and slaves who suffer, and he doesn't Relaxed, just as he was thinking, Song Shenzong had already moved forward, so he quickly followed, almost half a step behind.

They strolled through the imperial garden, and saw green weeping willows, delicate flowers, magnolias in full bloom, roses in full bloom, and shy daisies, all welcoming visitors.

"Yu Ge'er, I have never seen you before. Which palace did you work in?" Song Shenzong's mood became clearer.

"Responding to the emperor, Yu Ge'er is a beautiful girl who was drafted into the palace this year." Yu Ge'er replied calmly without looking at Eunuch Ning.

Eunuch Ning was anxious, thinking how this Yu Ge'er had completely forgotten what our family taught her, so he looked at Song Shenzong with a guilty conscience. Sure enough, Song Shenzong had a puzzled face, but luckily he didn't pull it off. "No, then why do you...?"

Eunuch Ning hurried forward and explained: "The servant saw that Yu Ge was clever, so... I also ask the emperor to forgive me."

Song Shenzong nodded.Yu Ge'er interjected, "Your Majesty, look how beautiful this flower is. What kind of flower is it? It's so beautiful."

A cluster of red flowers on the side of the road looked really pretty, Song Shenzong saw Yu Ge'er with a surprised face, walked up to the flowers and lowered his head to smell them, smiled and said: "You asked me about this, and I don't know. Turn around and ask Du Wenhao: "Du Aiqing, do you know me?"

Du Wenhao's father liked to grow flowers very much. He has been familiar with flowers since he was a child, and he also knows some knowledge about flowers, especially the flowers that can be used for medicine. The flowers can cool blood, remove blood stasis, and dispel wind. It is mainly used for irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, skin itching, acne, etc. Its root promotes blood circulation and dissipates blood stasis, detoxifies and reduces swelling. It can be used for rheumatic arthralgia, bruises, and fractures ,dislocation."

Yu Ge'er heard that he was so precious, not only took a good look at him, but said: "We in the south of the Yangtze River have gardenia and osmanthus at most. Dare I ask Mr. Du, can these two kinds of flowers be used as medicine?"

"In theory, all herbs can be used as medicine, it just depends on how people use it. The same is true for gardenia and osmanthus. Gardenia purifies fire and relieves troubles, clears heat and dampness, cools blood and detoxifies. Coptidis with Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, Cortex Phellodendron, etc. Jiedu decoction can cure fever, fire and toxins, and triple burners are all hot, resulting in high fever, irritability, coma and delirium. Osmanthus fragrans is a treasure all over the body. Its flowers dispel cold and break knots, resolve phlegm and relieve cough. It is used for toothache, cough, asthma and excessive phlegm , abdominal pain after closing. Its fruit warms the stomach, calms the liver, and dispels cold. It is used for stomach pain due to deficiency and cold. Its root dispels rheumatism and dispels cold. It is used for rheumatism, muscle and bone pain, lumbago, and toothache due to kidney deficiency."

Yu Ge'er smiled: "Master Du's medical skills are superb, and his extensive knowledge is memorized, which is really admirable."

Song Shenzong laughed loudly: "That's right, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have entrusted Du Aiqing with such a heavy responsibility."

Du Wenhao bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise, and Miss Yu, for your compliment."

Yu Ge'er hurriedly bowed her body and said, "Master Du, I dare not do this."

The four of them walked to a gazebo, and Yu Ge'er said, "Your Majesty, why don't you just sit down and leave? I heard Eunuch Ning say that this garden is huge. You can walk around slowly. I brought you tea and snacks. You can eat some." Go on, so as not to get tired."

Song Shenzong was very pleased when he heard this, so he nodded and said, "Forget it, I feel tired too, it's Yu Ge'er who is thoughtful."

When the four of them arrived at the gazebo, the two young eunuchs who had been following them hurriedly stepped forward and put the food box they had brought with them on the table, then stepped aside, while Yu Ge'er made tea for Song Shenzong swiftly, It was given to Song Shenzong.

Seeing that Yu Ge'er was indeed a smart person, Song Shenzong was delighted. After taking a sip, he said, "Du Aiqing, you can sit down too."

After Du Wenhao sat down, Yu Ge'er quickly handed him a cup, Du Wenhao was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to decline.

"Just carry it, Yu Ge'er is also kind." Song Shenzong said with a smile.

Du Wenhao had no choice but to thank him and then sat down.

"Yu Ge'er, sit down too and tell me about your hometown."

"The slaves dare not."

"What do you mean, I told you to sit, and you sat down. You are so tall, standing in front of me, covering the sun."

What happened to Song Shenzong today, he still joked?Du Wenhao was holding the teacup, wondering inwardly.

Yu Ge'er: "Then the maidservant can just kneel down." After speaking, she really knelt on the ground.

Song Shenzong pointed at Yu Ge'er with a smile, and said, "Look, you really look like you're in the palace after ten days or so. Okay, since you're already kneeling, then just kneel down. Come on, here you are!" Tell me, do you miss home?"

Yu Ge'er, who was always smiling, heard Song Shenzong suddenly ask this question, her smile disappeared, she bit her lip, and said in a low voice, "I want to, but my father won't let me think about it."

Song Shenzong was puzzled and said, "Why doesn't your father make you homesick?"

"My father said, since you are here in the palace, if you pretend to be the emperor in your heart, you are pretending to be the whole family."

Song Shenzong's heart trembled, so if he pretended to be the emperor, he was pretending to be the whole family. The woman in front of him was about the same age as his own child, but she was so sensible. When you see your own appearance, you don't even know what you look like, so how can you talk about the word "pretend"?

Song Shenzong's expression became solemn, he sighed, and winked at Eunuch Ning, and Eunuch Ning understood, and quickly stepped forward to help Yu Ge'er up, and let her sit opposite Song Shenzong.

"It's so rare to feel sorry for the parents of the world!" Song Shenzong said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to sigh. This servant feels that what Dad said is correct. Since this servant has come to the palace, I should serve the Emperor well. This can be regarded as repaying my parents for their kindness in nurturing me."

"Mmm, yes, well said!" Song Shenzong exclaimed.

"Then how are the people in your hometown doing?"

"It's rare for the emperor to be in a good mood today, why don't you talk about it?" Yu Ge'er said.

Song Shenzong heard that Yu Ge'er had something to say, and he wanted to know the implementation of the reform. The situation that he could know from the mouth of an ordinary person must be truer than those officials in the court who only reported good news but not bad news. Thinking of this , Song Shenzong wanted to know the meaning behind these words: "How do you know that I will be in a bad mood after hearing what you said, and I will be in a good mood when the common people are well."

"It is the blessing of the people that the emperor is sympathetic to the people, but..." Yu Ge'er looked at Eunuch Ning, but did not finish speaking.

"Don't look at Xiao Ningzi, what do you think he is doing now that I am asking the question?"

Eunuch Ning hurriedly stated: "That's right, that's right, whatever the emperor asks you, you just say what, what are you looking at me for?"

"Jiangnan is originally a rich place, so it is naturally good, and the common people can be regarded as well-fed."

"That's good! By the way, have you heard of the young crop method?"

Yu Ge'er looked at Eunuch Ning again, saw a trace of worry flashing across his brow and eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I've heard of it."

"Oh?" Song Shenzong became interested, and this was what he wanted to hear. "Then do you think this method is good?"

"The little girl is a girl, how can she understand these things." Yu Ge'er said lightly.

Song Shenzong was a little disappointed, and when he glanced at him again, he felt that she had a lot to say, but it was inconvenient to say so, so he deliberately lowered his face: "Don't lie to me, just say what you have to say!"

"Your Majesty, is the green seedling method good? I'm afraid the Emperor won't believe what Gee'er said. Why don't the Emperor go to the fields to see for himself. The so-called 'hearing is delusion, seeing is believing'."

When Eunuch Ning heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. This Yu Geer dared to say anything, so he quickly interjected: "Shut up! Do you think that the emperor is just like you, who can just go out of the palace to look at the crops?"

Song Shenzong suddenly jumped up against the table, and Yu Ge'er and Eunuch Ning knelt on the ground in fright.

"Your Majesty, it's not good to be a slave. Don't be angry. The slave will send her away..."

Before Eunuch Ning finished speaking, the emperor laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, why didn't I think of this, Yu Ge'er really touched my heart, okay, this is the best way .——Hearing is believing! Why is no one telling me that?"

Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard Song Shenzong's words. Several people stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Ning was completely stunned, what's wrong with the Emperor?
"Little Ningzi!"

Eunuch Ning hurried forward and waited: "The servant is here."

Song Shenzong's eyes lit up, he waved his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "I want to visit you in a low-clothes private visit, and you can arrange it!——Du Aiqing, what do you think?"

The emperor's private visit was not a joke, Du Wenhao didn't dare to make random decisions, he hurriedly said: "The sage has learned a lot, and I dare not make judgments on my own."

"You are cunning! You have excellent medical skills, and you are also good at this exquisite kung fu!" Song Shenzong laughed, seeing Yu Ge'er still kneeling, he said: "What are you doing kneeling, get up quickly, don't you want to go out?" Go? I will take you with me when I go out tomorrow."

Yu Ge'er thought she heard it wrong, and looked up at Song Shenzong, only to see Song Shenzong looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Really?" Yu Ge'er couldn't believe her ears.

Song Shenzong hummed, and sat down again: "Xiao Ningzi, your face is cloudy, what are you thinking?"

Eunuch Ning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant feels that this matter is inappropriate."

Song Shenzong waved his hand and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. You can follow, and Yu Ge'er can follow. By the way, let Wang Anshi also follow to see. Only by seeing for yourself can we know whether our reform is welcomed by ordinary people or not. Did it really benefit the people!"

"Your Majesty, if you really want to go, I'm afraid that only the servant and Yu Ge'er will be there to serve you. What about your safety?"

"I know kung fu." Yu Ge spoke quickly.

Eunuch Ning looked at Yu Ge'er disdainfully, and said: "How can you speak wild words and say anything with those flamboyant legs, the emperor's safety can't be sloppy."

Seeing that Song Shenzong had made up his mind, Du Wenhao said, "Then why don't you choose two of the guards in the palace?"

Song Shenzong shook his head again and again, and said: "There can't be too many people going out. Now that the world is peaceful and the world is bright and bright, what to do with those guards is useless to provoke people's ideas! Besides, I am afraid that many of these guards are the eyes of the ministers in the court. Where we went and what we did, they know better than us, this is no good, since we want to see the real situation, we can’t take these people there.”

Eunuch Ning was in a dilemma, and said: "Then what should I do?"

"Preventing disease is better than guarding against bandits. I am not worried about thieves, but I am worried about a disaster star who is sick. I feel a little unwell these days. Du Aiqing, you can go with me."
