A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 115: Family (17)
Dangerous
It's really an enemy meeting, and I'm extremely jealous.I thought I was the only one who broke the appointment today, but I didn't expect this person to come after getting the news, and he is condescending and considerate. This is not letting people live, and came to carry people's jobs?

He hooted, "What wind brought the prince here?" He glanced at the bowl in his hand, "How can I trouble you with such a thing, let me do it! The visitor is a guest, and the guest is not allowed to do it." It’s the truth of life, don’t you think so?” He leaned his neck around Prince Yu again, and grinned at Songyin, “Sister, are you feeling better today?”

Song Yin pursed her lips and smiled, because Prince Yu didn't dare to say anything here, but the gentle demeanor already made people see that the treatment of the two was really different.She was polite and cautious to Prince Yu, that kind of deliberate sense of alienation built a high wall between the two of them, which could not be crossed no matter what.But when she saw Rongshi, she squinted her eyes and smiled brightly. In comparison, the prince who was over [-] people became a foil to highlight Rongshi's generous treatment.

Prince Yu's face was calm, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.Rongshi's sentence is that the guest is clearly putting gold on his face. The two families are only at the stage of blood relatives for the time being. Yin relatives are not considered relatives. He claims to be his own, and his face is really big!This kind of familiarity, if it were an ordinary person, he would be really mad at him, but he is different, he has confidence.Tong's family is under his banner, and they have to enter the mansion inlaid with yellow flags for life and death, and they have to report to him first for weddings and funerals. As long as he doesn't nod, you don't dare to get married privately.

He glanced at him lightly, stirred the bean curd with the spoon in his hand, sat on the edge of the Songyin Kang, and fed it to her.

Song Yin felt uncomfortable all over, and said awkwardly: "Master, I hurt my head, not my hand."

He was not very satisfied, and ordered her concisely, "Open your mouth!"

Song Yin had no choice but to look at Rong Shi and put the bean curd in his mouth.

Rong Shi was very unconvinced, and it happened that Ya'er came in with a plate of walnuts. The green walnuts mature in August and September, and this is the time when the taste is the best.He took the plate and asked loudly: "Sister, do you want walnuts? Let me make you a sweet bowl. Do you want melon pulp mixed with honey, or steamed cheese with sugar?"

Song Yin was rude to him, saying that he would eat like this after shedding his clothes, and told Ya'er, "Give the second master a cloth pad, carefully hurt your hand."

Like it or not, it's a big difference.He was feeding here, and she was concerned about others.Prince Yu was angry in his heart, he was a good master, and rushed to serve her softly, but she not only didn't feel grateful, she didn't seem to appreciate it.He glared at her resentfully, "Tong Songyin, do you have no master in your eyes?"

She belatedly said, "Yes, I am grateful to the master."

Before he could speak, Rong Shi, who was sitting at the crescent table, tapped a walnut with a small hammer, smashed it into two halves, and sang intentionally or unintentionally, "Zhu Bajie doesn't know how long his mouth is, so he came to Gao Laozhuang to ask for a marriage , he assumed a human form..."

In fact, he entered the university as a bodyguard at the age of 12. Those bodyguards were all selected from the descendants of officials of the fourth rank or above.What about octagonal drums and sanxian, there are many lyrics in them, and there are also many hurtful ones, so he just opened his mouth.If you accuse Sang and scold Huai so much, you argue with him, saying that you slammed into the door yourself.If you don't argue with him, you'll be yelled at by him to death.However, since they all came here for Song Yin, he was prepared for this, and he didn't intend to use his official title to talk about it.He spoke to her softly, "The queen mother issued a decree, and the two you mentioned last time were sealed as side Fujin. Let me tell you, you know it well."

Song Yin glanced at him, what does this mean, tell her, the position of Di Fujin is reserved for her?But she didn't care, no matter how many times he said it, he never seemed to care about her feelings.Now that the old matter was brought up again, she couldn't put Zhi Longtong in his face. After all, she was the banner owner, so she had to save face for him, so she pretended to be stupid, and said to him, "Is the time set? I don't care about that much anymore. If there is enough time, I will get up after I recover from my injury, and the two Fujins will come in together?"

He examined her expression, but there was no sign of sadness at all.All she cared about was errands, so she didn't care who he married or what position he gave to them.That's fine, smart people never look for troubles, sooner or later he will be in charge of the Forbidden City, the emperor's harem is numerous, if he is too jealous, he will have trouble with himself.Don't add trouble to him... He sneered, he was the seed of a good wife.

He nodded, scraped the spoon over the edge of the bowl, handed it to her lips, and said, "The twentieth of next month, regardless of the front and back, saves a lot of trouble..."

Rong Shi leaned over and cupped his hands in a fuss, "Sixth Master is getting married? If you marry both at once, you will enjoy the blessings of equal people. Oh, this is the envy of many men in the world. We only ask for one in a lifetime." Yes, I really admire the prince."

This is just a disguise to ask Song Yin for credit, and he intends to be a couple for the rest of his life.Prince Yu smiled after hearing this, "You can't talk too much, if one day the emperor is happy and rewards you two as wives, then it will be very lively."

The emperor will definitely not reward, but if he comes to power, such deliberate tricks may be indispensable.Rong Shi smiled, "It's okay, I'll be a Bodhisattva and offer people up, just like those calligraphy, paintings and antiques bestowed by the Lord Long Live, framed, put in a box, and put on the desk. I think the Lord Long Live takes care of everything every day No one cares about where I spend the night, Liu Ye said, right?"

Prince Yu's complexion was not good, he took the opportunity to squeeze forward, stuffed the peeled green walnut into Song Yin's mouth, and asked her if it was sweet or not?

She chewed, with a satisfied expression, "This year's is better than last year's, quite fragrant, and sweeter than last year's."

Rong Shi smiled flatteringly, "Then I'll peel some more, because my sister loves to eat it!"

Sister, sister, it's disgusting!Prince Yu stood aside as a decoration, watching them flirting with monkeys, wishing he could grab Rongshi and fight in the courtyard.He put the bowl on the table, "Does Qingyan still remember the agreement on the Mid-Autumn Festival? Today is the official day, so it doesn't count?"

Rongshi has a small name called Qingyan, which is too elegant and doesn't match his personality.He also didn't have the character of a hero who said nothing. After the incident, after thinking about it more, his spirit at that time would fade.He said, "She's not feeling well right now, so put everything aside!"

Prince Yu didn't intend to give up at this point, "Then make an appointment at another time, I'll arrange someone to clear the venue, and wait for your arrival."

If he is so perseverant, it would appear that he is cowardly if he evades again. He rubbed his forehead and looked at him with a smile, "Master Liu is in high spirits. Let’s wait until the matter is over. It’s common for Buku to get injured on the field, if he bumps into each other accidentally, then Lafayette and the emperor will ask the crime of the lowly job, and the lowly job can’t bear it.”

Song Yin was anxious, thinking that after today there would be a slowdown, but who would have expected that Prince Yu would come to the door in person, and he would return to the original point with his sword drawn, a casual appointment, and a bad battle would be inevitable after all.

She propped herself up and moved down, explaining kindly, "I really thought about it, I can do it at any time, and practice with the guards, why bother clearing the field, it's like a duel, it spreads out to cause people to misunderstand, and also makes Lafayette worry." .”

Prince Yu didn't take it seriously, "Our banner people are brave, there are many such things. There are no prince's guards in the Buku field, they are all the same, what are you worried about? Dare to fear my identity, Commander Rong dare not fight?"

Rong Shi was still peeling walnuts, focused on the walnuts, and responded casually, "It's not a big deal if you don't dare, we are born as guards, who doesn't accompany the princes and brothers to fight? I remember that I used to fight with six You fought each other, but after you became the prince, the Buku field gradually became less and less. I do everything by scratching and rolling, and you, a noble person, left the field in a cold heart. No eyes, if I lose weight later on, I'm afraid I'll be punished."

He said it as if he was sure to win, and the reason was very good. He was afraid of taking the crime of not having a royal family, so he didn't want to fight.If he is forced to act, he must first promise not to hold him accountable. This calculation is really delicate.He frowned and turned his fingers, "Don't gossip, pick a time when you are free and I am free, we have a chance and there is no contest, and the outcome is hard to say." After speaking, he asked Song Yin, "What about you? Do you have such leisure time? Watching the battle?"

Song Yin forced a smile, "Let's see when the time comes, I will be busy changing clothes in the palace for a while, and then there is your wedding banquet."

Whether she comes or not, Prince Yu was tense before, but now seeing her on the ground, he said in a harmonious voice: "I'm not feeling well yet, let's rest. I mentioned you to Lord Long Live today, and Lord Long Live also said, Little Master Tong has worked hard, I want you to take good care of him, and you will be rewarded later."

Song Yin leaned forward and said: "I don't dare to say hard work for the master. The master wants to reward me and He Shun Shun, as long as we can do what we want."

There is something in her words, what is her wish, is to marry Rong Shi.The more they don't take him seriously, the more he can't let go.He sneered, "What's so difficult about being gentle and smooth? Your Tong family has been loyal to the master for generations. As long as there are no moths, I will guarantee your glory for another 100 years."

In other words, when he became the emperor, the Tong family was safe.But he took that position, what about her and Rong Shi?Do we have to trade happiness for the extension of this surname?As for what he wanted, he didn't mention it at all. What does this mean?It shows that her marriage is really going to be rough, and he has the final say on what to do.

She stared at him, for such a humble and reserved person, as his power grew, his ambition became more and more undisguised.She was even a little afraid, if he made a promise, asking Rong Shi to cooperate with him internally and externally to help him ascend to the throne, would he help him or not?It is unimaginable how he will suppress the Rong family and Tong Jia's after he succeeds.

She stood there in a daze, with gauze wrapped around her head, her eyes dazed, and his attitude softened.A woman should look like a woman, be a little bit hesitant, a little bit weak, don't make men find it hard to handle.He is not tolerant, and from time to time he is willing to be a little birdie.He is the master, and he wants them to prostrate at his feet, and he wants them to fear and not dare to resist.

"It's done, I'm here. Sometimes, I should go too." He flicked his clothes, and changed his tone, "Yesterday Haizheng just got the news of your injury. I was anxious and couldn't come to the house to see you. .I didn’t go to the military plane today, so I came straight to visit you. Seeing you, I feel relieved. Take care of yourself, and I will come to see you again in two days.”

After finishing speaking, the old lady of the Tong family led a group of people into the yard, and stood at the bottom of the steps to salute, "Master is here, the family is not doing well, and the servants are only now trusting, and they have treated the master slowly."

When Prince Yu stepped out of the threshold, that honorable demeanor became more and more unattainable under the sunlight.He treated Tong's family members very kindly, and said in a jerk, "I didn't ask them to pass on the news. The palace is busy, so I came to have a look at Songyin, and I will leave soon. Ordinarily, outsiders shouldn't I also broke the rules when I entered the inner house, and I really miss her. If you make a scene again, the old lady is old again, and I am ashamed to make a big fight. You guys rest and don’t have to send each other, I’m leaving now.”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, "Master's words can really hurt the slaves. Song Yin has made the master tired. It doesn't count if the master takes care of him at ordinary times. This time, he suffered a little injury and asked the old master to look at it. What can I do to the slaves?" I am grateful for the kindness of the master."

The Tong family is groveling, this is the difference between a bannerman master and a slave.Prince Yu said a few thoughtful words, looked back at Song Yin, and went to the Chuihua Gate.The Tong family followed suit, and the small courtyard, which was bustling before, soon became deserted.

Rong Shi put the peeled walnuts into her hands, and said worryingly: "He came to the door today to let your family understand the meaning, our road will become more and more difficult."

Song Yin sighed, lowered her head and said, "I know my own heart."

After hearing this, he immediately became cheerful again, "As long as you don't change, he will shave his head and make his head hot, let him brag about it!"

He helped her to the south window, and the two of them sat with their knees facing each other, the sun was warm and warm, and their hearts were peaceful.Song Yin was still worried that Buku would cause trouble, "I thought today was over and I could let go of that matter, but it turns out..."

He pressed on her hand, "It's like a boil in summer. If you don't touch it, it will pop out sooner or later when it grows. If you squeeze it cruelly, it will turn into a stiff lump, and it will not heal if it is buried under the skin for a few years. Don't worry about me. Others marrying a daughter-in-law will cost you money, and mine will cost you your life. You are worth it. People like him come to visit you on the one hand and discuss with you on marrying Fujin on the other. Is this a human thing? ? If you promise him, how much will you be wronged by him for the rest of your life? I only recognize you, and even if you follow him, I will never forget you. You can’t make me think about other people’s wives, it’s immoral.”

She laughed, "What's good about me, I tell you not to let go."

He twisted his body and leaned over, and whispered: "I'm not just a casual person. I've asked you to kiss me twice, and you can't just give up. You have a responsibility to me, do you know? I'm one way If I can't marry you, then I will never marry you for the rest of my life, and I will wait until you are 80 years old."

Song Yin's nose was sore, "I also thought about it, unless I don't marry him for the rest of my life. In that case, we two will stick together. But you are the only seedling in your Rong family, and the family's incense will eventually be passed on to you. What about the time?"

He said: "Our lives may not be so hard. I don't believe that even if we want to become a family, we will not be able to. Although the current situation is narrow, there will always be times when the clouds clear and the fog will clear. Can we still be suppressed by him for a lifetime?"

Song Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Wait another 11 years, when I am 30 years old, if there is still no hope for us, I will resign and go home to raise my husband and raise my children. At 30 years old, even if he becomes powerful, he may not want me anymore. On the contrary, it's you, I don't think it's appropriate to drag you down for so long."

He grinned and said, "I'm willing, don't say what's right or wrong, some people spend their whole life as bachelors, don't they want to live?"

Well, although it is helpless, there is no other way.The rank and family background of the two of them are already considered high, but it is not enough to look at the one who is fighting in the ring.Anyway, after making up his mind, he has the stubbornness to not give up, but Songyin has to think more, if he can't have two sons in the future, then sooner or later the family business will have to be passed on to the other families.So he waited until the age of 30, Rong Shi couldn't be delayed, he had to explain to his family.

The two got together and chatted for a while, then Rong Shi mentioned that a distant relative had come to the family, and said that the kid in the family was about to turn fourteen and planned to find him a job in the yamen.

Song Yin felt pitiful after hearing their backgrounds, and she was from the old lady Rong's natal family, so she said: "I don't know anything, and I don't have any boxing skills. Where can you find him a job? The Ministry of Internal Affairs also buys it outside the palace Let’s do it, since their family has done medicinal materials trading before, the accounts should not be troublesome. I will find someone to take him with him first, to see if his brain is active, if he can do it, I will get started little by little, and there will be no need to eat later. Worrying. As you know, the comprador of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can make a fortune if you do it well. It is better to help your own people than to take advantage of outsiders."

Rong Shi laughed when he heard this, "I know what you mean, but his father can make a fortune in opening a pharmacy, and in the end he almost became a trousers. I don't think he has the ability to do this. Let's be a long-term follower first." , if he is promising, he will be promoted by his own master."

Song Yin smiled, "The person I'm talking about is not some official leader, but also an errand runner. It's just that if you get lucky, you can revive the family business in the future. You see, it's okay to go back and discuss with the old lady. Doesn't he have an older sister..." She twitched a bit, "I want them to set up their own family, after all, they are not young, it's not good to look up and look down..."

It was only then that Rong Shi understood the reason for her eagerness to help, it turned out that she didn't want to have more outsiders at home.In addition, that cousin had also reached the age of marriage, so she was worried, and wanted to dismiss them early, in order to be at ease.

He was simply delighted, and she would be worried that if someone pried her corner, it meant that she cared about him.She referred to those distant cousins ​​as her own, which showed that she was sincerely on the side of the Rong family.He was happy to himself, and was busy reassuring her: "The old lady took them in because she saw them as pitiful. After all, relatives said that they can't go outside when they come, so they plan to plan for them and let them go back to their hometown in Fangshan. I've seen their daughter before. She dared not speak loudly or sit down. She stood timidly and stood there. She really didn't come from a wealthy family. You should be a helper to the neighbors, and don't think about it. .”

Song Yin puffed up her cheeks, twisted her body and said, "Sooner or later, I thought about it, and it was you who thought about it. I didn't say anything. You are in a hurry to clear up your grievances, making me feel like I have no capacity for others."

He hurriedly said, "It's my villain's heart. Didn't I discuss it with you, I'm afraid you might misunderstand me. I have no second thoughts about you. Anyway, we surnamed Rong don't have the habit of being close relatives, you Don’t worry about this, what can you do if you worry about your brain.”

Song Yin spit softly, "So love to buy face for yourself! Look at the time we agreed earlier, if you think you can't wait, I will not blame you. As for this cousin, she I came to seek refuge in trouble, and I was still wary of this, so who am I? Right now, I am worried that my family will ask me, what do the old ladies and wives think when Master Liu is here today?"

Sure enough, this was a very serious problem. After Rong Shi left, she was called to the upper room.The old lady sat upright and asked, "Er Niu, what's the matter with you and Prince Yu? And Rongshi, the two men met and went into your room. What do you mean? Are you in the palace?" When you are an official, you don’t tell me many things. But today’s situation makes my brain ache. What is your plan? Now let Yu stay in the palace as a permanent residence, and you and the prince are entangled. It’s a preparation Is it a two-pronged approach? That's fine, but how does Rongshi deal with it? One woman can't be married to two husbands, and two men are fighting, this is not a long-term solution."

Song Yin was so ashamed by her words, she murmured: "Old lady, don't get me wrong, she came to see me, and Ama knew about it. Prince Yu..." She glanced at the house full of children and family members, "I don't understand him either. Why are you at home today?"

The old lady pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, remembering that the last time Prince Yu's Mansion invited her to the Zhang Luotang meeting, it turned out that she had put a lot of effort into it.Songyin is a clay figurine, so she should know it well, why is she still asking three questions?Is the usual witty energy lost after a fall?

"Then what are you thinking now?" The eldest lady asked, "Why are you so anxious, girl! Since you have come to the house, do you need to explain it clearly? If you don't have thoughts, a prince can directly to your house?"

The third wife thought about it to herself, "Actually, it's good that way. The third girl currying favor with the emperor is a great guarantee for the Tong family. If the emperor is still childless, Prince Yu may be the next successor. If the second girl follows him, The Tong family is still standing."

The old lady probably also thought it was right, and just about to agree, Song Yin said: "Everyone, don't forget, the emperor and the sixth master are at odds. If I follow the sixth master, then I don't plan to work in the emperor's house of internal affairs. Think about both I won't do such stupid things. Besides..." She lowered her head embarrassingly, "I get along well with Rongshi, but because of Prince Yu, their family can't give it even if they prepared a betrothal gift. Come. I want to ask the old lady to agree to my marriage with him when the time is right. The old lady is also willing to be good to me. I have compared these two people together, and they are still easy to get along with. I didn't want to be a high school Well, Ama put so much effort in conditioning me, and when I got married and entered the prince's mansion, I had to let go of my errands. Ama's four or five years of painstaking efforts were in vain, and my future was ruined. So six No matter how promising the lord is, I don't intend to defect, I beg the old lady to understand my difficulties."

Her analysis was very reasonable, as soon as Prince Yu appeared, people were indeed flattered, but after careful consideration, as she said, no matter how good the marriage is, it is not a good match.The old lady has lived a long time and has seen a lot of knowledge. Those rich and wealthy people look at the infinite scenery and take more risks than others.Therefore, I would rather my children live a peaceful life than sharpen their heads and encourage them to go to other people's back houses.

Songyin has been recuperating at home for not many days, and she really can't stay idle. Some things are handled by her alone, and she is afraid that Ama won't be able to figure it out, and she will delay things later.So when I got better, I struggled to get up, packed up and continued to work.

There have been no disturbances recently, food, clothing, housing and transportation are still the same, unlike a while ago when everything was mixed together, it was very relaxed and fast for two days.On the fifth day of September, the Ministry of Rituals played the imperial court’s change of clothes in autumn. After the emperor’s approval, the palace began to be busy. The masters of the palace are the most important. The tens of thousands of sets of clothes for the palace people are not trivial. If there are any leaks, they must be repaired. Yes, they have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to apply for them, so the process has been very busy for a few days.

When Song Yin was free, she looked at herself in the mirror, the wound had become lighter, and a curved line hung on the tip of her eyebrows, it was the color of lotus root.Women in ancient times painted oblique red, probably near that position.She touched it with her hand, and there was still a little pain. She, Ama, glanced at it, "Move another two inches and you will be able to go to Shuntian Mansion." She pouted, knowing that he was laughing at her, and ignored him.

Prince Yu's wedding date is set at [-], and there is only half a month left. Fortunately, the prince who has already opened a government office and built a mansion is not like those princesses.The Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered to provide some assistance, and it was difficult to cope with the banquet in the palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people and goods to take care of it, and other details were not under their control.

The statement said: "If you don't go on the day of the wedding, there will always be someone who will show up. You or I, you can't follow suit. Ask Suo Tong from the Ministry of Industry, we are just like him, and we can do as much as they give us. "

Song Yin didn't pay much attention, so she found a few brocades from the satin, and sat under the window to size them up, planning to make a set of gourd work for Rong Shi.

"You and Ernie just go. I'm a girl's house. It's outrageous to drink wedding wine in public! You can't leave people in the palace all the time, and the wedding banquet is at night. I will stay on duty at night. If something happens, I won't mess up. .”

The statement said, looking at the sky outside, it was gloomy, as if it was going to rain.One autumn rain and one cold, the colder it gets as it goes on.Speaking of the exquisiteness of the emperor's crown and clothes, there is a subdivision of the warm crown used in the spring as "scented mink in spring, and yuan fox in winter".There are also materials used for winter clothes, mink fur, fox fur, sheepskin, ermine... The royal servants from the north are due to go to Beijing in a few days. The leather is not like satin, so it is more complicated to check. If it is not handled well, insects eat and rats bite, and it will all be ruined next year.

Song Yin has been in the House of Internal Affairs for nearly three years, and has also experienced two winters. From charcoal to oil wax, she knows what to pay attention to.Her Ama reminded her repeatedly, but she felt that he was long-winded, so she found a notebook and flipped through it, "I'm free today, I went to the gate to check the file."

Shuming snorted, "It's going to rain."

She pretended she didn't hear it, and went out the gate of the House of Internal Affairs with her ears.

In fact, checking the access control and recording files is secondary. She is thinking about the gourd work, a set of twelve, and she usually does little needlework, so she has to ask someone for a pattern before she can embroider it.Go to Yonghe Palace to find Concubine Hui, because my sister is there, and it's not good to walk too often.Just go to the Ruyi Pavilion, where you can find any fine brushwork samples you want.

She looked up at the sky, the sky was leaden gray, very low, and the trance was on the bridge of her nose. If she walked faster, she shouldn't need an umbrella.On the way, I met Cai He from the respect room, and greeted her with his hands tucked in: "Little Manager, where are you going? Seeing that the heavy rain is coming, are you afraid of walking in the rain?"

Song Yin was concerned about Rangyu's situation, so he stopped and said, "I'm about to go to your place, this month's green stalls and access control stalls will be checked together."

Cai He responded, turned around and told the eunuchs below, "Go back and open the file cabinet, please let the chief look over it."

The respect room is inside the Qianqing Gate, next door to the South Study Room. In the past, you can always hear the discussion of politics when you enter the door, but today it is very quiet.She turned to Cai He and asked, "Where is Lord Long Live now?"

Cai He said: "Before I heard that people from the Hall of Mental Cultivation went to the Japanese Jingmen to preach the imperial physician, I think it was Shenggong who violated the agreement."

Song Yin was a little puzzled, why didn't he inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs of this matter, it was done so quietly, can he bear it?
Since she didn't say anything, she definitely didn't want them to know, so she didn't bother to ask, sitting at the table and flipping through the files.The red stalls at Tongshi's place are matched with the green stalls in the respect room. It is clear at a glance how many concubines have attended bedtime this month, and how many masters are in the letter period.She paid special attention to Rang Yu's. Since the first flop, there has been one more time, and she has not won the holy family since then. Cai He watched the words and expressions, and said cautiously: "Have you seen it, the record from Tong Shi's place?" Then... Master Tong came to the monthly letter twice a month, is there some kind of illness?"

Song Yin also saw it, she had just been in the palace for a month, and half a month passed after the two monthly letters.In the remaining half a month, she turned over the signboard twice, which is actually quite diligent, but she probably has her own thoughts and is unwilling to sleep with her.She was in good health when she was at home, never heard that she had this problem, but she had an attack when she entered the palace, it can be seen that she was out of luck like Guo Guiren.But how should I say this, I can't tell outsiders, just said: "Sometimes she doesn't go well, she has seen a few doctors, there are good times and bad times. But there is nothing bad during the period, so I don't care."

Cai He said, "It needs to be taken care of, little manager, don't take it seriously, after all, it's about a lifetime. Which master in the palace doesn't want to be favored by the Lord Long Live? It's inconvenient, the emperor has to be close if he wants to get close?"

She nodded, "I'll go back to the queen tomorrow, and I'll send the imperial doctor to take a look."

Cai He agreed, looked around, and said with a low voice: "Although the queen is useless, the master can still do it. Look at it early, the emperor's heir is important. The servant is your subordinate, there is no reason not to be with you Every time you enter the signboard, you will put Master Tong in a conspicuous position, hoping that the little master will be promoted, your family will be enlightened, and we will also try to ascend to heaven."

Song Yin smiled, "Then thank you for taking care of me, the Chief Manager and I know it well, we won't treat you badly."

Cai He bowed his shoulders and smiled, and said: "There is one more thing. I originally wanted to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to Mr. Tong. Since you are here, I will return to you! This morning, the two noblemen from Yongshou Palace The eunuchs at the bottom were fighting over a begonia, exposing each other's faults, one scolded the dog, the other scolded you for your future, and you cheated on the master Kang Yan'er. The palace stewards heard that there was something wrong, so they came back immediately, and both of them were dead. Take it to the Punishment Department, and let it go after hearing it."

Song Yin is a girl after all, the dye vat in the Forbidden City is bottomless, only you have never seen it, there is nothing that cannot happen.She has been in the palace for so long, and she has also dealt with several cases of fighting between palace people.

"There's nothing good to say in a fight with weapons, just develop it after the lesson is over." She said indifferently, "Don't report it to the chief executive."

Cai He was very hesitant, looking at her again and again, "Speaking of an old saying, the little manager is young, maybe I haven't heard of it, and there are some unsightly things in the palace. It is a huge crime, not only the person who said it, but also the one who was said to be investigated. There was such a mistake in the harem of Emperor Gao Zongye. Inviting an imperial doctor, there was a lot of uproar for a while, and the master and son lost face. It is a taboo in the palace that concubines and eunuchs mess around. I was so frightened when I first heard this. how many people."

Song Yin didn't want to understand, "Didn't the eunuchs cleanse themselves, why..."

Cai He smiled awkwardly, "People are the most intelligent things in the world. If one end is missing, the other end can be repaired. Mr. Jiao, Mian Ling... Cough cough, there is always a way." He patted himself on the mouth, "My mouth Don’t take it for granted that you have polluted the little chief’s ears. Anyway, that’s what it means. You can see what to do. If you check it out, I’m afraid there’s something wrong with it, which will make Sheng Gong furious. It’s up to you to make up your mind , assign trustworthy people to torture, and figure out the beginning and end before we talk about it.”

Song Yin felt that this matter should be very serious. If the concubine really had an affair with the eunuch, it would cause a lot of confusion.Let's put aside the tricks of Ruyi Pavilion for the time being, and have to go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss ideas.After all, she is a girl, so she doesn't intend to ask about this matter, but she understands it and leaves it to Ama.

She hurried out of the Qianqing Gate, and it started to rain, and there was a big battle.She ran to the Longzong Gate, where there was a roof to shelter from the rain, she hesitated for a while and wanted to rush out, only to find that the rain was getting heavier, and she would probably be drenched if she ran out.

She was downcast, but fortunately there were many eunuchs coming and going, so she planned to wait a while, someone would pass by naturally.Looking east with his back against the door frame, there are only a few imperial guards guarding the front of Qianqing Palace, Rong Shi went to Changchun Garden today, but he is not in the palace.She looked at the street that day, after being drenched by the rain, the green bricks shone with greasy light, rippling, and the palace was reflected on the water.

He wasn't there, and she didn't expect much, so she carefully weighed what Cai He said.Just thinking about half of it, I saw a sumac umbrella coming slowly, the umbrella holder had a rising dragon embroidered on the corner of his stone blue robe, and his soap boots stepped into the puddle, looking fearless and carefree. who.

How could we always meet him? She couldn't run away, and stood still to meet him.The umbrella leaned forward, covering most of his body until it was in front of him, and it turned out to be that annoying face.

Song Yin immediately decided to follow the original plan. What do you like about her?Like her understanding?Still not surprised?She can do the opposite.

She bowed slightly to him, "It's such a coincidence that I met Liu Ye again, are you here to give me an umbrella?"

He stared at her, his reaction was quick this time, and he didn't need to go around in circles, which didn't seem to be a bad thing.He nodded hesitantly, "I was on duty today, and I saw that you didn't bring an umbrella."

Song Yin raised her eyes and saw that the window of the check-in room of the military aircraft was facing Long Zongmen, and she had already caught his eyes when she stood here.She breathed out a foul breath from the bottom of her lungs, she had never done anything recklessly, she had always been careful in her life, and was afraid of offending people and being prejudiced against her.Well now, count him unlucky, let him see her slovenliness.

She took the umbrella bluntly, "Thank you, then I'm leaving."

She was about to turn around, but he stretched out his hand and grabbed her, "Just leave like this?"

She said yes of course, "I thank you, if you are reluctant to part with this umbrella, why don't you take it back?"

He was suffocated by her words, thought for a while and said, "Of course I want the umbrella, but I have to let you go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I will send you off."

She handed the umbrella back to him again, "Then I will trouble Master Liu."

Prince Yu was a little surprised, she seemed abnormal, at least she should thank her for holding the umbrella.As it turned out now, he knew that she did it on purpose, but there was a faint cuteness released by nature.

He took the umbrella handle and smiled approvingly at her, "I don't seem to recognize you anymore."

"Where does this come from? I'm still me, and I'm still Liu Ye's good banner slave." She said so, but her attitude was completely different, she turned her head and said let's go, and stepped into the rain first.

He almost missed her due to an oversight, so he hurriedly chased after her and covered her under the umbrella.The two walked side by side, she had a straight face, expressionless.He began to ponder whether the hasty kiss on the Mid-Autumn Festival made her hold her grudge to this day?It all started as teasing, but then things changed. He had a woman, the eldest brother of the emperor's family, and none of them was untouchable.There are concubines in the family, and occasionally he accepted the invitation of his buddies, and there were beauties to accompany him during the banquet, but there were so many women, and he never kissed any of them, which made his heart sway.With a sandalwood mouth and a beautiful heart, she is so special that people can't help but explore it.In the past, it was just a wooing for a certain purpose, but after a long time, the feeling has faded away, and today I can't find the original intention, I just think this person is suitable for him and can help him make achievements in the future.

How many women in this world can dispatch the entire Forbidden City?Only her.If he wants to do big things, he needs a Fujin who can keep up with his thinking, who can always remind him and support him when he is confused.Other women can be embellishments, but she is the backbone.Women who can act like a baby and fight for favor are everywhere, and those who take care of the overall situation and plan strategies don't think of second people.Maybe she is not sophisticated enough, but in time, maybe she can become the most famous empress.He saw her value, so he planned to start taking her seriously, but he hoped there was still time.

But she doesn't seem to be very interested in him, the corners of her mouth are drooping, and she is not interested. If the person around her is Rong Shi, won't she be happy?
He frowned, "Are you still hating me?"

"Which one is Liu Ye talking about?"

It seems that he offended her a lot, he sighed slowly, "I was rude to you that night in Yuanmingyuan, do you still blame me?"

She wished she could bite off a piece of his flesh to relieve her hatred, but she couldn't go too far, if she couldn't grasp it well, maybe he would think she was acting like a baby to him.She shook her head, "I'm walking in the palace, I haven't seen anything, this is nothing." She picked her nose unbecomingly, "Don't worry about Liu Ye."

When Prince Yu saw her move, his expression froze, but it was acceptable, maybe her nose and eyes were itchy, and she couldn't help it, it's human nature, it's nothing.

He said: "I'm not kidding with you, I just think you..."

She stretched out her hand and turned the handle of the umbrella towards her, "I'm soaked." After saying that, she smiled, "Don't mention what happened that day, I'm a girl and I didn't take it to heart, why is Liu Ye so fussy about it? ? Can you concentrate on opening the umbrella? Are you seeing me or are you talking to me? Look at the heavy rain, it's splashed on me."

He was a little confused, and she seemed to be talking casually without thinking about it.He stopped and looked at her, "Songyin, I said that I want to marry you as Fujin, did you hear me?"

She tilted her head to look at him, "You're about to get married, and you're still thinking about the pot while you're eating, okay? Do you know why I look up to Rongshi more? Because Rongshi promised to be the only one."

He said in surprise: "Last time, you only said that girls from the Tong family are not young."

She grinned, "My Ama only has one wife, my Enie. If I want to imitate my Enie, I have to find an ordinary man. Who are you? You are a prince and a younger brother. Can you only have me as a woman?" ?” She waved her hand, “If you can’t do it, don’t eat too much, and leave a way for others to survive. Why am I with Rongshi? Isn’t it according to your order? You can’t blame me, I can't blame Rong Shi. I thought you were pretty good at first, you have a high status and you are also handsome, but you married both of you at once, and let me wait for you, so you don't want to bully others like this. If that's the case, you should love you well The side Fujins, talk to them more and listen to their thoughts. Once you are happy, you may forget about me."

He was a little annoyed, at first he only said that he wanted to be the number one, but he gave her the number one, but in the end she pushed her forward and wanted to be the only one.He is not a villager in the mountains, he has aspirations for thousands of miles.What is the basis for consolidating the Chaogang?The biggest method is marriage. The harem is full of daughters and daughters of civil and military ministers. This universe is in his hands and can be grasped.If there is only one, his future fate may not be as good as the one in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!
But a woman has selfishness, which means she has a crush on you from another aspect.If you don't like it, why monopolize it?

Thinking of this level made her feel much more at ease, and told her kindly, "They are just a brick to strengthen the palace wall, why should you take them seriously? As long as you are Fujin, you will be able to enter the Taimiao with me in the future." , to be worshiped by future generations, isn’t that enough?”

She scratched her scalp, "I haven't woken up in my life, who cares about my death! I'm just going to see you, and you get those two back, and then come and tell me whether you want to marry or not."

He felt that she was deliberately making trouble for no reason in order to be with Rong Shi.If he really listened to her, he would immediately become a well-known joke.If a woman's heart is not on you, no amount of effort will be in vain.His desire to have a good talk with her was shattered. It seemed that as long as he put pressure on her, she would not dare to be presumptuous.

He calmed down and walked forward, "I respect you, I don't want to force you, but unfortunately you don't cherish it, then I can't do anything about it. I am bound to win..." As he was talking, he suddenly found that the person next to him was gone. When I looked back, she was lying on the ground and fell again.Get up and sit on the ground, covered in mud.He was dumbfounded, what's the matter with this person, is his foot not stable, why did he fall again?Or did he break his brain in Guangji Temple last time and become a fool?He felt helpless for the first time, and stretched out his hand to pull her, "Stand up!"

She was aggrieved and supported the wall to get up, her face was drenched with rain, itching.He raised his hand and wiped it, and the moss on the back of his hand rubbed onto his face, making it look like a cat. He pressed his voice and said to him: "I don't know what's going on recently. I must fall every three days, and I can't shake it. Let me tell you Well, I may have stumbled. I finished placing Xigui’s coffin that day, and my back was always cold. There is a tea rack in my yard. I saw someone walking under the rack several times at night. When I called, he would face the wall. Standing still, it’s probably a ghost, brought back from Guangji Temple.” She rubbed the back of her neck, “When the sun rises tomorrow, I’ll go to Dongyue Temple and ask the old master to show me. After all, I am young, and I still want to live a few more years."

She was suspicious and frightened people, he knew what she was thinking, and he would not believe what she said, so he said, "I know a few lamas, if you really get into trouble, let them hold a big cymbal to your ear for a while That’s enough, how can I go up to Dongyue Temple.”

She shrank under his umbrella, and said with a smile: "That's right, Lord Yan and the little ghost are enshrined in Dongyue Temple, and they went to the sheep's mouth." Just after finishing speaking, she sneezed loudly, and shot directly at Prince Yu's face, It sprayed all over his head and face.

He was about to be driven crazy by her, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face, and said sullenly: "If you keep making trouble, I will go to the Queen Mother to ask for marriage! Anyway, two are married, and three are also married, so let's just go in together .”

She looked at him seriously, "Sixth Master thinks I'm troublesome and dirty, that's all, you still marry me?" She smiled, "Think about it again, do you want a housekeeper or a Fujin? Or you are stingy and want to let me hold two jobs without spending a lot of money? If so, I will not do it. I am quite good in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have a salary and an official position. I don’t plan to change places. Thank you for your kindness."

Talking into the house of internal affairs, there is still some way to the main entrance, she is no longer hiding under his umbrella, she is covered in mud anyway, is she afraid of being drenched?She squatted sloppily, and even ran and jumped into the yamen. As for what happened to the prince, she couldn't care less.

Shu Ming was shocked when he saw her sloppy appearance, "What's the matter? The rabbit is muddy, has it melted?"

Song Yin said with a smile: "I messed up the situation in front of the Sixth Prince, but the results probably weren't very good. It's too difficult for a smart person to pretend to be a fool. Forget about that, I'll go to the respect room to check the prostitutes. Cai He had previously arrested I sent two eunuchs to the Department of Punishment, saying that the slave got into the master's kang, I'm not in a position to come forward, you should check it out!"

As soon as Shu Ming heard that the matter was serious, he took off his hat and led the people out.

Song Yin slowly changed her clothes and bowed her head again. As soon as she sat down, a little eunuch from the sweeping office ran in in the rain, put her knee on the ground, and said, "Boss Xiao Tong, something happened."

She murmured, "What happened?"

The little eunuch pointed in the direction of the Compassionate Ning Palace, "Aunt Xiu from the Empress Dowager's Palace sent a servant to pass you a message. The Empress Dowager recruited Director Lu of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. It seemed that she was using the excuse of Lord Long Live's cold to blame Director Lu for not coming. Report to develop Director Lu."

Song Yin's heart tightened, "When did it happen?"

The little eunuch said: "I saw Director Lu enter the Palace of Compassion and Peace before a cup of tea, so please hurry up and think about it!"

Song Yin waved her hand wildly, turned around and saw a stack of brochures from the comprador of Prince Yu's Mansion on the table, put it on and went to the Palace of Compassion.

Regarding Lu Run's role, it is actually difficult to define. He is the chief manager of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and a celebrity before the imperial court. The emperor's daily life cannot be separated from him.He is insightful, prudent and sophisticated, different from other eunuchs.What kind of existence is he to the emperor?Maybe it's a confidant, a confidant, or even a think tank.Since the connection is so close, it will be a matter of time before the queen mother gets angry.Right now, the emperor was sick and ignored him, so he used the excuse to deal with him, at least one arm of the emperor was broken.It's really puzzling to be able to feel at ease by destroying one who is also biological.

Song Yin has always had a good impression of Lu Run, and because they have some friendship with each other, when he encounters difficulties, she will naturally try her best to help.

After entering the Palace of Compassion and Peace, come from the middle road, and before reaching the eaves, you can see the situation inside the palace.The Empress Dowager sat on the throne with a stern voice, and Lu Run knelt on the gold bricks, with her back straight, answering every word, without showing any timidity.

Feng Shoushan stood outside watching the wind, guarding against the sudden arrival of the emperor.At first he was nervous when he saw someone coming in, but when he saw that it was her, he greeted her with his sleeves down, planted seedlings and beat a thousand children, "Why is the little manager here?"

She smiled, "According to Lafayette's instructions, I added some things to Liu Ye's mansion. I don't know if it suits Lafayette's wishes, so I sent them to Lafayette for review." As she spoke, she glanced into the hall, "Just now Are you busy? Isn’t that Lu Run? Why is he here?”

Feng Shoushan shrank his neck and smiled, "Lafayette can't deal with him, don't worry about it." He led her outside the floor covering, asked her to wait, and went in to report.

She stood waiting for the letter behind the velvet curtain, and all the movement inside could be heard outside.At first the Empress Dowager counted his crimes in detail, and there were almost no serious incidents. The emperor rested late and lost his appetite, so he blamed him for not serving him well.Anyway, if you want to add a crime, you don't need any reason.Later, when she heard that she had sent a comprador list for her big-hearted wedding, she immediately put Lu Run aside.

Inside it said Xuan, before Feng Shoushan could send a message, she had already stepped in, asked the Queen Mother to please her, and said with a smile: "I touched the cloisonné enamel animal ear stove you mentioned last time. He also ordered the craftsman to create a pair of red sandalwood bases, which have already been sent to the Prince Yu's Mansion. There are also four nanmu screens, a gilded ebony elephant bed, and a famille rose peony vase with large lotus leaves... the latest styles of the same color, Wait for Manager Lu to show his face when he returns, and then dial it out from the library."

The Empress Dowager asked the court lady to fetch diorama glasses, leaned on the pillow and counted them one by one, asked about this vase, that mother-of-pearl cabinet, dozens of items from top to bottom were all very satisfactory, so there was nothing to choose, she nodded in satisfaction, "I think it's all very good. I can trust you to leave the matter to me, so I don't have to worry about it. I got a few bolts of satin here. The imperial concubines have some leftover clothes, and I will reward you with one. I don't know how the Yu Palace is doing right now. Yes, have you been to see it?"

Song Yin thanked and said: "My Ama has been there, and said that everything is almost ready, and the east and west of the two Fujin's yards have also been organized according to the etiquette. According to my Ama, the courtyard is very tidy. Well, Liu Ye also built a big rockery, but it's a pity that Lafayette can't leave the palace, or he can go to the palace to have a look, so he can relax."

When the queen mother talked about that beloved son, she lost her temper at all, and said with a smile: "Sometimes I envy the late emperor's concubines. The son built a mansion outside and took it out to serve in the palace. Hua'er entered the palace at the same age. I have come to the palace, I have gray hair and will go out one day, which is better than me. I gave birth to two sons, the younger one is outside, and the older one is in front of the emperor, and he regards me as the queen mother. My son hurts as much as I do. Now that Yan Sui is married and has a human appearance, he is the emperor, who keeps me from closing my eyes day and night." He cut off the conversation, and said angrily, "A [-]-year-old man, shoulders With multiple burdens, a healthy dragon is the blessing of all people. It is good at the moment, and the illness is kept secret. Hua Tuo is raised in the bedroom. Can he heal himself when he is sick? I know it was all because of the screwdriver. The male and female dog servants instigated, blindly flattering and inviting favors, and completely disregarded his body! What is the emperor's illness? Has the Ministry of Internal Affairs accepted the report? Where is the record of the imperial hospital? You are the head of the imperial court. You secretly concealed your master's illness, there is a good or bad, even if you gave birth to a hundred humble lives, it would not be enough to wear it down!"

Lu Run knelt down and did not speak. After explaining, the queen mother only pretended not to hear, so it was useless, so I will not repeat it.Song Yin watched from the side, the maid brought tea cup, she hurriedly took it up, and said in a low voice: "Lafayette, calm down, I don't know what Lafayette is talking about, but if Long live Lord spreads a cold to the doctor this time About the matter, Lu Run sent someone to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the servants also went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have a look. The master didn't want to talk about it, but said that he had a headache and a fever, and there were people from the Imperial Hospital waiting at the Rijing Gate and the Yuehua Gate. Just call and have a look.”

The Queen Mother frowned. "Are you aware?"

Song Yin said, "I went to the respect room first to check the files, and it happened that Cai He told me that Sheng Gong violated the peace today, and he didn't enter the talk for several days. Afterwards, he went back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after a while. letter."

The queen mother is not very satisfied that she stands up for him at this time. Once she said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew about it, the show would not go on. How can Lu Run be punished?She looked at Song Yin coldly, "The palace of the sun and the moon is prepared for the east and west six palaces. The emperor has an illness and passed on the history of the academy. You have been in the House of Internal Affairs for more than two years, and you still don't understand?"

Songyin knew that Lu Run was looking at her, she didn't even roll her eyes, and said cautiously: "You know the temper of Long Live Lord, and he doesn't like to make big fights. If you talk about minor illnesses and disasters, the descendants of Shangnan Sanshou will alarm most of the Forbidden City. Turning around, Lafayette is worried again. Just call someone nearby and prescribe a dose of medicine for sweating, saying that it will be fine after a night of sleep."

It's not impossible for her to be fooled like this, but seeing that Prince Yu is interested in her, the Empress Dowager knows it well, so she won't pursue it after giving her face.However, Lu Run had too many "crimes", and even the fault of the emperor's heirs who were weak were all blamed on him, and all the people in front of the imperial court were classified as fox charmers.It's fine if the female officer scolds like that, and the eunuch also calls it that, which is clearly insinuating.Lu Run knelt there with a pale face and didn't make any excuses, but it was really hard to link Yi Sejun with him because of his iron bones that would rather not bend.

He refused to bow his head, and the queen mother wanted to develop him even more.Call Feng Shoushan loudly, "I just can't see him like this. I can't deal with a mere eunuch? Someone beat him fifty boards, and demoted him to the porcelain warehouse to look at porcelain. The imperial court sent someone to wait on him, the emperor If you ask me, just say that I said it, the Lord, I can still do this.”

The empress dowager's fuss is tantamount to tearing her face, Song Yin is not worried about their mother and son becoming enemies, anyway, it is just maintaining the superficial politeness, even if they pinch it, it is not unusual.What she was worried about was Lu Run, such a jade-like person, he shouldn't be angered like this.However, the Queen Mother had already made up her mind, the execution was in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, a spring stool was placed in front of the steps, and the beating started right under her nose.Song Yin was anxious and didn't dare to do it on his face. He watched helplessly as the two eunuchs picked him up and pushed him down on the spring stool.

The cane in the palace is a kind of thick and large board, and it is very powerful in a battle. Let alone fifty sticks, even twenty sticks, the most important attack may kill someone.The executioner was Feng Shoushan's apprentice, and the strength depends on the Empress Dowager's face.Seeing that they had put in a lot of effort, Song Yin did not leave any room for it. Lu Run did not cry like those eunuchs. He had his pride and would not beg for mercy even if he was beaten to death.But the more this happened, the more furious the Empress Dowager became. It was only three sticks, and the color of the crimson splatter deepened, and it was blood that seeped out and dyed the silk red.

Song Yin begged the Queen Mother, "Lafayette, please put out the fire. Fifty is equivalent to death with a stick. The sixth master's wedding is just around the corner. Seeing blood is not good. Please forgive me. Besides, Lu Run is the person in front of the emperor. As the saying goes, beating a dog It depends on the master, if you really want to hurt the emperor's face, wouldn't it damage the mother-child relationship between Lafayette and the emperor? Lafayette is very merciful, he went out of the palace to offer incense last time, and the poor little beggar even offered money for snacks. Lu Run is good or bad It's the eunuch Bingbi, who has been with the emperor for more than ten years. You are going to kill him and tell people that Lafayette is too strict, and the emperor's face is also dull. The emperor is unhappy, can the people below be happy? Who wears small shoes, think about it?"

That's right, let's just turn a blind eye and close your eyes on this festival, and wait until the big wedding is over before it's too late.Turning around, the emperor came up in a daze, and it would be bad if Yan Sui couldn't get up or down.

The queen mother took a long breath, raised her hand and said: "Forget it, let's go here! This time is just to teach a lesson, next time if you do it again, you won't want to live."

Song Yin bowed down, sweat dripping down her back.When the queen mother returned to the palace, she hurriedly called to the left and right to lift the man up, and sent him back to Tatan in one go.

Lu Run didn't cry out in pain, what a man.He was still worried, "There is no one waiting for the emperor..."

Seeing his angry state, Song Yin felt very sad, and relieved him and said, "Don't worry, I ordered someone to send a message to Tan Rui, asking him to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to support him first. Don't worry about that, it's important to heal well. "

He is a polite person, he lay there and bowed his head, "Thank you Master Tong for saving me, without you, I would not have escaped today."

Something happened to him, will everyone have a good life in the future?Song Yin has the mentality of an official, a gentry, and a petty official, muddling along, as long as the sky doesn't fall, she will continue to breathe easily.Before she was forced to stand on the sidelines, she would be moderate, with her tail between her legs, just like him in the ten years when Ama was fooling around, and continued to cut tofu with a knife.So saving Lu Run was not only to repay his kindness, but also to claim credit in front of the emperor.But in the end, you still have to be polite, "You said that money is not rare, and it is better to save favors than to save money. Now it seems that what you said makes sense. We have a relationship. Do I still watch you being beaten to death?" Outside The little eunuch brought the imperial doctor over, and she bent down and said, "I have something to do there, so I won't stay here any longer. Let them serve you with medicine, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow."

He hummed, buried his face in his arms, and remained silent.

Song Yin withdrew and stood under the grape trellis to see that the remaining two bunches of grapes had turned black with purple.The layers of leaves are gradually withering and yellowing, showing the bleakness of autumn.

Back at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she, Ama, had already finished the case and was sitting behind the case in a daze.She called him, "What do you say? Do you have any idea?"

Shu Ming rubbed his scalp with both hands, and said dejectedly: "It seems that it is almost inseparable. It said that it was smashed once, and I begged to sue him not to let it go, but after a fight, I forgot everything, what is dirty?" The stink is all turned out."

Song Yin found it inconceivable, "It's justifiable for a court lady to ask an eunuch to treat her as food. After all, they are all poor people. They have become concubines, and the emperor also turned their cards around. How can they pay back..."

Shuming sighed, "The deep palace is unbearably lonely, and we don't understand their difficulties. There are those who can hold on, like Huizhu'er, she has sustenance, and besides being a princess, she also loves to eat. The Heavenly Bodhisattva is not as important as her eating one bite at a time. Is it easy to get the emperor, is it easy to get food? She is a smart person, and she can see it. There are also those who are like the nobles. 'Yes. Every day I think about how pitiful I am. One of my subordinates provoked a sensible and pleasing eunuch, and he was taken to an evil path after being dazed."

The palace is really colorful, this is a shrunken forty-nine city, full of people.There are so many people, and there are so many strange things, sometimes people can't laugh or cry, so what should we do next?

Shuming said: "Don't dare to investigate further. If you want to investigate, you have to be ordered first. But what did you say above, saying that one of your concubines mixed up with the eunuch and gave you a cuckold? I can't speak." Thinking about it, he asked her, "Where have you been?"

She took the account book that was delivered in a written form, sat down to look through it, and said: "I went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to save people. Lu Run asked the Queen Mother to beat him up and sent him back to Tantan."

"Dead?" Shuming said in surprise, "Not good!"

Song Yin hurriedly said that he was not dead, "It's just that he was seriously injured, and his flesh was bloody after three sticks down."

Shuming sat in the armchair and muttered to himself: "This is so... I can't go back. Long live Lord is sick, Lu Run was cleaned up by the queen mother, and this happened again in the harem... Why don't you report to the queen mother, anyway we I don’t have the guts to hide it.” Think carefully again, “No, the queen mother and the emperor are not of the same mind, who knows what kind of moth will happen to her! Report to the queen? The empress’s embarrassment for the honor of Xi has been confined until now, has anyone ever surpassed it?” After much deliberation, there was no one in He Gong that he could rely on.

The two of you sat there looking at each other, and Song Yin said: "Long live God seems to be not doing well recently. The green card is not often turned over. I heard that I am sick every day. I don’t recruit people from the Taiyuan Hospital when I am sick. I go to the Nijing Gate to announce the palace Straightforward, the Queen Mother is the one who punished Lu Run on this ground."

Shu Ming frowned and thought for a long time, "My eyelids are jumping all the time recently..."

After hearing these words for no less than ten times, Song Yin supported her head, "Do you think there is going to be an accident? Why are your eyes jumping all the time!"

He wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and swallowed the words back.Will the Forbidden City change masters in the end?Why is this premonition getting stronger lately?Prince Yu cooks oil over a blazing fire, while the emperor is a little embarrassed to be hanging on top of him.Physically weak, sometimes indecisive in dealing with government affairs, it is indeed very reluctant.To change the sky is actually not a bad thing for their surnamed Tong, but it just ruined Rangyu. It seemed that sending her into the palace was a mistake.In many cases, people are not as good as God, and this makes sense.If it really changed hands, what would she do?
Shuming stood up and walked around the room twice, "I still have to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I must ask my master to show me this matter. You can go with me. I'm afraid he will ask about Lu Run. With a hand, I don't understand."

Song Yin said yes, and accompanied him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The emperor rested in the back and went back in the new day. This kind of embarrassing thing had to send people away before returning. She didn't follow in, but stood in the hallway, whispering inside, and couldn't really hear what was said.

It took a long time for her, Ama, to show her head, call her with a low voice, and beckon to her.She hurriedly adjusted her clothes and went inside, and saw the emperor reclining on the brocade mat, his complexion was not very good, but his lips were so red that he was smeared with lip balm, it was shocking at first sight.

She stepped forward to salute, and asked softly, "Master, are you feeling better?"

The emperor nodded, "I heard from you, Ama, did Lafayette deal with Lu Run today?"

She replied, "Xiu Qi from the Compassionate Ning Palace sent someone to report to me, and I rushed there when I got the news. Lafayette blamed Lu Run for concealing Sheng Gong's illness, so he became very angry and ordered someone to flog the stick. I begged for a long time, and I begged for it, but he still suffered more than a dozen times. Now people have returned to Ta Tan, and asked the imperial doctor to go and see, it is a flesh wound, and his life is not in danger, the emperor can rest assured."

The weather was bad, and the lamp was turned on early in the morning. The king under the lamp looked weak, but his fighting spirit was not extinguished.He was silent for a long time, and almost when Songyin was about to leave Ama, he heard him gritted his teeth and said, "Tiger raising is a danger! In the year when I was in Yuji, Yan Sui was only fourteen. How can a 14-year-old child have a baby?" What kind of ability to overwhelm the world? For more than ten years, I have thought of brotherhood, and because of the affection of my mother, I have done my best to this young brother. Who knows that he doesn't know how to restrain himself, relying on his mother's favor, and doesn't take me seriously Li. Now the queen mother is also forcing me. If they don’t force me to fight back, they will feel uncomfortable. Since this is the case, there is nothing to be tolerated. Toleration can only raise traitors. It is passed on to the cabinet ministers, and I will order them to prepare a bullet to impeach Prince Yu , from his privately owned mansion to the embezzlement of tax money, everything has been settled for him."

Song Yin was beating drums in his heart, he could deal with Prince Yu behind his back, why did he mention it in front of them?Is it another test?
Shuming tucked his hands, lowered his head, and answered the question tremblingly.

"Rong is really not here today. Song Yin sent a message to him. From tomorrow onwards, he will be the minister of the bodyguard. He will be ordered by the emperor. The two banners of Zhenghuang and Zhenglan will send more people to guard the Forbidden City by eight teams day and night. City defense. Men and foreign men in the palace are not allowed to go around without authorization, including the Palace of Compassion. The Empress Dowager is getting old, so she should rest in peace. From now on, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, all the brothers will come to the Palace of Compassion to listen to the training and greet each other on weekdays Exemption." The emperor carefully ordered, "Prince Yu's wedding will be held in two days, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send people out of the palace to assist, and they don't have to go back to the palace after the work is done, just for rewards. Remember, I will find capable and reliable people. useful."

The father and father were sweating coldly when they heard this. This trust came so suddenly, I'm afraid it's not a good omen.The two accepted the order tremblingly, and heard the emperor smile softly, "You don't have to be afraid, I will not treat you badly if you are loyal to the lord. Now that Yu has entered the palace, I plan to choose an auspicious day to make her a concubine, and when she has Pregnant, then concubine concubine and family status. And Song Yin and Rong Shi, I know all about you. Rong Shi followed me when he climbed a tree on the sticky pole, and it has been more than ten years now. He grew up. He is the son of Master Rong, but he is like a brother to me. I would rather trust him than those tiger and wolf brothers. In the past, I was too forgiving. Forgiving too much made me appear incompetent. Let the people below suffer the humiliation too. I have not forgotten that I am the emperor, and all these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are in my hands, how can I be manipulated by a woman!" He let out a long breath, as if he had unloaded the burden, and no longer needed it. Pretended, paused and said, "Do what I ordered you to do with all your heart. Since I said it in front of your father and daughter, I didn't treat you as outsiders. It doesn't matter whose banner you are under, as long as you are thinking about it in your heart." Serious master, that is the best way to save your life."

Shu Ming took Song Yin and knelt down with a thud, touched his head to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The slaves will die after the master dies."

The emperor said, "This is a long-term plan. I know it will not be easy. Don't disappoint me. I will wait and see." After saying that, he waved his hand, "Kneel down!"

The father and father kowtowed again, got up but walked out and made another day.When they arrived in the hallway, they didn't even exchange glances, and only took a breath when they got out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Song Yin panicked and said: "Ama, Lord Long Live has eaten the weight this time."

It seemed that previous provocations were not as powerful as this time. Since it was about Lu Run, the emperor became cruel.The empress dowager is really an unbelievable woman, so why would she want to seek other people's bad luck, now it's self-defeating.The emperor euphemistically called it "quiet rest", but it was actually confinement.On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, when five or six brothers got together, Prince Yu couldn't say anything.In fact, it should have been done a long time ago. Although Song Yin didn't like the emperor, but this time he felt very relieved.If a person lives too much by himself and doesn't take anyone seriously, what right does he have to be respected?Because Prince Yu got married and might soon have a son, he stepped up his efforts to fight the emperor.It's also a son, with flesh on the palms and backs of his hands, wouldn't she feel heartbroken if she cheated on the eldest son?

But Shuming was very distressed, "Do you think the emperor can beat the sixth master in one go? If it can, we've made the right bet; if not, the whole Tong family will die without a place to bury them."

This problem is too serious, Song Yin stared blankly at her, Ama, "Then what should we do? The emperor's intention is obvious, as long as someone in the court impeaches Liu Ye, he will have to let go of his errands and wait at home. But Is the sixth master really so easy to conquer? How can the emperor catch him? He has to build a garden with the permission of the queen mother, and the tax money is covered by the servants..."

Shuming raised his hand, "Stop talking, I have to think about it. You go back to the yamen, I will send someone out of the palace to deliver a message to the cabinet, and there are two eunuchs who have gone against the sky to deal with, hurry up Let's go!"

She watched Ama go away, but it was not evening yet, but the sky was overcast like a pan.The rain was falling more densely.
