Chapter 136 Immortal Chicken and Ginkgo Tea (3)
However, there are always some people who don't wink at each other and do things that don't wink at them. We usually call this kind of situation "too bad luck".

Today, at His Majesty's place, someone just happened to come to make trouble.Looking above the court, who has the courage and qualifications?Of course, it is the crown prince Taifu Lu Ji who has the honor of the emperor's teacher.

Lord Lu felt that the emperor's face was not right when he entered the Zichen Palace, as if he was holding back his great anger and did not express it, so he asked about the government affairs first, and after knowing that there was nothing serious, he persuaded the emperor a few more words, and then he said today The real purpose of entering the palace to seek an audience: "Your Majesty, it seems that the New Year is coming, and the concubine Mi and the third princess who are recuperating in the National Medical Center should also be brought back to the palace. No matter how good the Chinese Medical Center is, it is not in the palace. Let the concubine and the princess Living outside is always detrimental to His Majesty's reputation."

The emperor didn't like to hear these words, but Taifu Lu's principles were good, and he couldn't refute them directly, so he just said: "Aren't the two of them sick? If you are sick, you should take good care of them. Whether it's medicinal materials or medical officers, they are among the best, much more comprehensive than the palace."

Lu Ji cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know. The old minister went to the National Medical Center the day before yesterday, and most of the illnesses of the concubine and the princess have been cured. Mrs. Ninghou said that in the future, it is enough to just rest. So the old minister thinks that it is better to take It would be good for the two noble lords to bring you back to the palace, but you will always live outside, which will only cause gossip."

"Have you gone to see it?" The emperor sneered indifferently.

Lu Ji saw the emperor's expression, and quickly explained: "Yes, Your Majesty forgives the sin. The old minister didn't visit the concubine and the princess on purpose because of lack of etiquette. It's because the old minister's daughter is recuperating in the National Medical Center, and the veteran is worried about her. I just went to have a look, and I happened to meet the concubine and the princess before I went to pay my respects."

The emperor's face softened a little after hearing this, and he asked casually: "Oh, your daughter is also in the National Medical Center?"

"Yes, the last time she participated in the beauty pageant, she was lucky enough to be chosen by the Eldest Princess."

The emperor nodded, and didn't say anything else—for the last beauty pageant, all he wanted was to take the opportunity to make trouble for Yun Xian and the others.If he had to say something else, it was just to make a joke with Han Qian for fun.He didn't care about what happened to the women who were selected.

"Your Majesty." While speaking, Lu Ji lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down again.

Yun Shuo could basically guess what the old man was going to say, so he didn't make a sound, just sat there quietly waiting for him to talk nonsense.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the girls who are waiting for the election are almost doing well. Your Majesty should make a decision on how to proceed with the beauty pageant." Lu Ji looked at the emperor's gloomy face, and knew in his heart that this matter was going to happen again. It made the emperor unhappy, but he still insisted on persuading him because of his duty: "The eldest princess is in charge of the beauty pageant, so you can't give up halfway, right? The emperor should also make a decree to let the eldest princess finish this matter." Good. Those girls are all young, so it's not good to waste any more."

"Put them all back." The emperor said lightly.

"Put... put it back?" Lu Ji raised his head in surprise.

The emperor leaned back slowly, closed his eyes, and said a little tiredly: "Yes, I just want to concentrate on government affairs now, and I don't care about the harem. Don't waste those girls' good years."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Ji heard the words, sighed, knelt on the ground and took two steps to the dragon couch, and persuaded affectionately: "It is naturally a blessing for all people to concentrate on government affairs, but the heirs of the royal family are the foundation of the country, and your majesty cannot shirk it." ah!"

Yun Shuo, who was already upset and irritable, became even more angry when he heard this. He sat up and glared at Lu Ji and asked, "What's the hurry?! I'm just past the year! It's not as good as the year of the weak crown. Could it be possible that even my son will die?" Go see your ancestors before you are born?!"

"Damn my humble servant! I definitely don't mean that, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Lu Ji hurriedly kowtowed.

The fire in Yun Shuo's heart surged up, but he still restrained himself and waved his sleeves: "Okay! I'm tired, you step back."

"Yes." Lu Ji replied but couldn't get up, and asked again, "The matter of the secret concubine and the third princess..."

"Lu Ji!" Yun Shuo leaned over to look at Lu Ji, his eyes were bloodshot, "Don't you even understand my words? Get lost!"

"..." The emperor of the Dayun Dynasty had always admired the theory of respecting teachers and respecting teachers. As the prince's teacher, Lu Ji had never been reprimanded like this, and he was stunned for a while.

"Your Majesty!" After Lu Ji was silent for a moment, he suddenly kowtowed heavily and said in a sad voice, "As the Grand Tutor, I have to admonish some words even if I die! The Tai Concubine is the late Emperor's woman, and the third princess is Your Majesty." The close relatives of flesh and blood! With the cold weather today, it seems that the Chinese New Year is about to come, and their mother and daughter really shouldn’t stay in the National Medical Center. Think twice, Your Majesty!”

"Okay, okay, okay!" Yun Shuo said three words "yes" in a row, slowly got up from the dragon couch, walked to the entrance of Zichen Hall and looked at the gray sky outside through the glass inlaid on the carved door leaf, for a long time Then he said in a cold voice: "Declaration of my order, to take the mistress and the third princess Jiaying back to the palace. However, there were several concubines living in the Longevity Palace before, and the illness of the mistress has not recovered. I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of them. I I remember that there is a place called 'Tuisixuan' next to the West Fourth Institute, which has a good environment, so let their mother and daughter go there to recuperate."

Tuisixuan was a small palace built by Emperor Wende when he was in power. It was originally for one of his favorite beauties to live in. Later, the beauties were bewitched by evil spirits for some reason. At first they talked nonsense, and later they even took scissors Scratched his own face, and finally died inexplicably.Since then, there have been rumors in the harem that the place where Tuisixuan was built was the Lenggong Palace of the former dynasty. There are too many evil spirits there and the evil spirit is too heavy. Anyone who lives there will be haunted by evil spirits and die in the end.

During the reign of Jinglong, the place had been deserted, and only court ladies who made mistakes would be punished to clean it there, but as long as they were sent there, none of them got out alive.Until now, it is still a forbidden place, with copper locks printed with Buddhist scriptures on the door, and ordinary people dare not even pass by, let alone live in it.

Now the emperor asked the mother and daughter to move to this kind of place as soon as he opened his mouth, almost scaring Lu Ji to death.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Ji wailed and kowtowed heavily.

"Why? Think it's not good to retreat to Sixuan?" Yun Shuo gave Lu Ji a cold look, and asked, "Why don't you let them move into my Zichen Palace for their mother and daughter?"

"No no..." Lu Ji still wanted to explain.

But Yun Shuo had already interrupted him coldly: "Teacher, I just received a secret report from the Jiangxi Inspectorate, saying that the Chief Secretary of Jiangxi colluded with Beijing officials, was corrupt and dereliction of duty, and needs to be escorted back to the capital for trial. In fact, I already knew about sex. This fish-meat man surnamed Yang is not a good guy, and he has long wanted to replace him, but there has never been a suitable candidate to replace him, and the post of chief secretary is related to the livelihood of one party, so there must be no vacancy... I don’t know if you can Share your worries for me?"
