The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 20 Chatting
The days have returned to a calm and waveless state, but there are some small changes.

Because Dugu Ye publicly expressed his admiration for Si Luoyun, those palace people in the harem no longer dared to neglect the beautiful woman from Yunxiuju!The winter clothes were made on time and sent to Yunxiuju, and the items for the winter and the silver frost charcoal were also sent over early!

Although Qiu Zhi is still a bit lazy in doing things, she doesn't dare to be as blatantly lazy as she used to be!Qiu Ping was originally a timid person, without Qiu Zhi's encouragement, she would do her duty.The other palace servants were waiting outside, but they couldn't find any faults.

Qiu Ying once sued Qiu Zhi in front of Si Luoyun, hoping that her master would punish the lazy Qiu Zhi, so as not to bring down other courtiers.

But Si Luoyun only said to look at what Qiu Zhi and those palace people are doing first, if not, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace it with a new one!The palace people who were replaced would not be arranged in a good place!The later palace people were afraid in their hearts, so naturally they didn't dare to ignore sabotage anymore!
Qiuying was a little surprised, she always thought that she served a soft-tempered master, but she never thought that she was a decisive master in her bones!

In fact, Si Luoyun's method of dealing with palace people is also learned from her mother Zhao's true biography!For servants who cannot be loyal to themselves, there is no need to stay by their side and become a disaster!Temporary soft-heartedness may cause big trouble in the future!
In the blink of an eye, winter came, and in mid-November Wangcheng Andu ushered in the first snow!

Si Luoyun was wrapped in a sapphire cloak trimmed with ermine fur, holding a hand stove in both hands and hiding it in a muff, standing at the door of the house watching the little servants making snowmen in the yard.

I remember that before she was ten years old, after the first snowfall every winter, she would grab her elder brother to help her build a snowman, and sometimes her brother Fu would come to help.It's just that when the two of them piled up, it became a snowball fight, and they would help her to pile up the snowman after they had had enough trouble!

Brother Fu... Si Luoyun was a little distracted, and couldn't help but think of her brother Fu who almost became her fiancé and husband.

When I was ten years old, Fu's elder brother was 14 years old, and he stopped meeting casually because men and women avoided suspicion.

The last time she saw him was during the Dragon Boat Festival last year. On the path behind Puguang Temple, she saw Jinbai's back standing on a protruding rock overlooking the distance.The eldest brother called "Yongjue" and ran over, while she lowered her head and followed her mother to another path...

"Beauty!" Qiuping ran in from the outside in a panic, slipped and almost fell, thanks to a little servant who helped her up quickly!
Qiuying's complexion darkened, and she blamed her: "Why are you so flustered? Outsiders saw it, and they thought we, Yunxiuju, had no rules!"

Qiuping swallowed her saliva, stood up and saluted before saying: "Beauty, Mrs. Liu in the Shangjing Imperial Palace has died!"

Madam Liu?Chen Wang Duguye's biological mother?

"Qiu Ying, Qiu Ping, order to go down and take down all the colorful lanterns and ornaments in Yunxiu's house, and the palace people also put on plain clothes! Please supervise!" Si Luoyun was stunned for a moment Said to the two maidservants, and swept around Yunxiuju, she frowned. "Where did Qiuzhi go again?"

"I heard from Sister Qiu Zhi that I'm going to Yulin Pavilion to ask Sister Xia Zhi for needlework!" A servant with a red face and a tree branch in his hand, ready to serve as Snowman's arm, said loudly.

In the bedroom of the Liuli Palace, candles covered with gauze lampshades exude soft light, and the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin covered with copper wire shades is flourishing.

Sitting beside the phoenix couch was Chen Wang Duguye, who was dressed in brocade and white embroidered silver-gray casual clothes, while Queen He was lying on the couch with a sallow complexion.

"My concubine is worrying the king." Queen He forcefully forced a smile, panting slightly.

Dugu Ye's expression was flat, he couldn't see any expression of concern or worry, but his brows were slightly drawn together.

"Take good care of yourself, and leave the affairs of the palace to Mrs. Liao for the time being." Dugu Ye's voice was hoarse.

Queen He fell ill the next day when the news of Mrs. Liu's death came. Mrs. Liao assisted Queen He in managing the harem very early on, so it was logical for her to take care of the palace affairs temporarily.

After the simple conversation, the hall was silent again.There seems to be nothing to say between them forever!
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Dugu Ye's patience was gradually losing, and when she was about to get up and leave, Queen He suddenly spoke. "Why hasn't Your Majesty summoned Simi Ren to sleep with her? Simi Ren has been in the palace for nearly three months, and you have praised her as a model of women's virtues. She is the only concubine in the harem..."

"You wait for the queen well." Duguye got up and interrupted Queen He's words, said coldly to the nanny who was standing aside, and strode away!

The nun winked at the maid standing aside and told her to send the king away, while she walked to the couch to support Queen He who was holding her hands tightly.

"Your Majesty, why bother?" Huang Momo was Queen He's nanny, and she entered the Chen Palace together, and she was not too reserved when talking to her master, "That Si Meiren can't make any big waves! Last time you Dealing with her angered the king, and this time..."

"Nurse." Queen He's eyes were reddish and said unwillingly, "Why is Your Majesty being special to her alone? Maybe it's because that person has said something to His Majesty in secret, that makes His Majesty treat Simi differently? Isn't it?"

Seeing the obsessed look on Master Huang's face, Huang Momo sighed, gently opened Queen He's clenched fists and persuaded: "Mother, it's all in the past..."

the past?Now that it's a thing of the past, why is he still unwilling to forgive himself, even stingy with giving her the slightest bit of tenderness? !

The air on a winter night is extremely cold, and breathing in it seems to be able to freeze a person's internal organs!
Dugu Ye didn't get in the chariot, but walked slowly.

"Gu Huai." After walking for a while, Dugu Ye suddenly called out to his personal servant.

A young servant in green robes took a small step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gu fell ill yesterday, and you allow him to rest for a few days. Your servant He Baoquan will listen to your Majesty's orders."

He Baoquan is also one of the servants who serve Dugu Ye, but he is not as senior as Gu Huai and needs to be reused.

Duguye pondered for a moment before saying: "Go to Yunxiu Residence."

He Baoquan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, turned around and sang loudly: "Wang Jia moved to Yunxiuju!"

The sudden arrival of Dugu Ye made Yunxiuju unprepared. When he stepped into the yard, he saw the Sluoyun belt, which had no time to change, was wearing egg blue clothes, with light makeup on his face, and only two five-petal white jade hairpins stuck in his hair. The palace people greeted each other with blessings.

"Get up." Dugu Ye asked everyone to stand up in a low voice.

Si Luoyun got up first, and the palace servants behind stood up... Only one palace maid was still kneeling on the ground.

Duguye looked at the servant girl who hadn't gotten up, "What's going on?"

Si Luoyun turned her head and glanced at Qiu Zhi who was still kneeling on the ground, pursed her lips and met Dugu Ye's inquiring eyes, "My lord, before you came, my concubine was scolding the unruly court lady."

He Baoquan, who was standing behind Dugu Ye, took a deep breath, and said to himself: This Si Meiren is too...blunt and doesn't know how to hide it!

Hearing Simi Ren bluntly tell the king that she was reprimanding the unruly court lady, the servant He Baoquan was surprised at the "boldness" of this Simi Ren.

Which woman doesn't want to show a kind, magnanimous and beautiful side in front of men, even Zhen Meiren, who is usually critical of the palace people, will pretend to be innocent in front of Dugu Ye even if she scolded the palace people one moment. Things are covered up.

However, He Baoquan's lament is that eating salty radishes is too much to worry about!
Dugu Ye heard Si Luoyun saying that he was teaching the palace servants a lesson, so he said in a cold voice, "If you don't use it, let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs take it back and re-teach the rules! You are so tired that you, a master, bother to discipline the palace servants, so it can be seen Those in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should also be replaced!"

After Duguye said these words, the palace people in the yard were like being splashed with cold water on a winter night!All froze!
He Baoquan glanced sympathetically at the palace maid who was still kneeling on the ground, but was too frightened to speak!
When the king and the beauty entered the room hand in hand, He Baoquan waved his hands, and two servants rushed out behind him to hold down Qiu Zhi who was about to stand up!
"If you shut up your mouth, drag it to the violence room first, and leave it to General Ge to deal with it tomorrow!" He Baoquan said in a soft voice.

Qiu Zhi just wanted to yell out to beg for mercy, but a servant stuffed something stinky into her mouth and dragged her out of Yunxiuju!
After entering the room and sitting down, Duguye saw that Si Luoyun also used high-quality silver frost charcoal here, and the room was very warm.He took a sip of the tea brought by the maidservant and found out that it was this year's newly fried Que tongue tea, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Si Luoyun felt strange, she heard that the king had gone to Liuli Palace not long after dinner, why did she transfer to Yunxiu Residence?
But she didn't dare to ask that, she just watched Dugu Ye drinking tea quietly.

After drinking half a cup of tea to warm up her body, Duguye looked up and saw Si Luoyun's baby face written with doubts and anxiety!
"My lord, do you... want to rest at Yunxiu Residence tonight?" After some psychological struggle, Si Luoyun gritted her teeth and asked desperately.

Sleeping in is a matter of time, and Si Luoyun is not foolish enough to think that she can escape!
Duguye was startled, watching Si Luoyun's neck, ears and cheeks gradually turning red.

He didn't have that thought tonight, his mother's new funeral has only been a few days, no matter how unfilial he is, he would never have a concubine at this time!Half of the reason for coming to Yunxiuju was because Queen He mentioned Si Luoyun, and the other half was because he wanted to talk to someone.

The servants around him would only listen to him like a mute, or occasionally persuade him to say "My King's condolences".

The concubines in the harem are too "understanding" and have ten holes and eight openings in their hearts. It is difficult to hear a single truth from their mouths!Only this Simi...he doesn't know much about it yet.

"Let's chat." Dugu Ye looked at the glowing silver frost charcoal in the charcoal basin, and said softly, "Before the draft, you often entered the palace with the prime minister's wife, right?"

Si Luoyun boldly raised her eyes to look at Dugu Ye's indifferent face, his hoarse voice revealed an imperceptible depression.

"Yes, the empress is kind, and often allows mother and concubine to visit the sick aunt in the palace." Si Luoyun lowered her head and replied softly.

She will never forget her aunt who was so thin that only a few bones remained in her illness, staring at her big eyes that were once passionate and bright, but then despaired and cloudy, and looked at her half-smiling, half-crying.Simi Ren, who was once favored for a while, was seriously ill and never saw the emperor again. There were only two loyal palace servants around her, and the brocade quilt on her body was worn out from washing.

Every time we met, my aunt said the most often: This palace is a place where you can't have a "heart".

"Then have you ever met... Mrs. Liu?" Dugu Ye's throat slipped quickly, speaking with difficulty.

Si Luoyun tightened the veil in her hand, and fell silent for a moment as if thinking about something.

"Never, I have never met Mrs. Liu by chance when I entered the palace with my mother, and I have never met Mrs. Liu."
