The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 40 "Performance" in the palace ([-])

There was a "buzz" in Fang Xiuyi's head, her child was her life, she would rather live humblely with her child than let her child step into this deep palace.She was thinking on the road just now that the emperor might just want to use her again this time, but she didn't expect the damn emperor to do something like this again. She didn't expect it because she really didn't think well, but what about He Huai'an?This person is so scheming, didn't he expect it?Regardless of being in front of the emperor, she turned her head to look at He Huai'an, wishing she could eat him.

He Huai'an looked quite contented, as if everything was under control, but in this situation, Fang Xiuyi couldn't force him to ask questions.However, Fang Xiu saw that He Huai'an was about to kneel when he lifted the hem of his clothes, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes, making a gesture to kneel too.But a heavenly voice came over and stopped them from kneeling.

"Your Majesty!" Wen Renyi stood up and bowed to the emperor, "I ask Rong Chen to say a few more words."

"Speak!" The emperor was unclear.

"Speaking of which, I almost became a family with these two children. When I saw them for the first time, I liked them very much, so I came up with the idea of ​​adopting them. Therefore, I can quite understand the emperor's love for them. Affection."

"Oh? So there is such a thing?" The emperor smiled, "Could it be that you wanted to marry Cook Fang because of your two children?"

"It's still the emperor who understands my minister's thoughts." Wen Renyi's tone revealed a sense of regret, "I have no choice but to play tricks on the heavens. I didn't expect that the two children are the children of Mr. He. I really envy this humble minister!"

In fact, He Huai'an had long thought that the emperor would ask such a question, and he had already made a complete decision. He didn't expect that Wen Renyi stopped him at the critical moment, so he had to straighten his clothes, take back his kneeling posture, and moved Said: "This is all thanks to the emperor's blessing!"

"Yes, we are all entrusted with the blessing of the emperor." Wen Renyi began to sigh for no reason, "It is really not easy for Mrs. He to take her young children all the way, wandering around. It is not easy to come to the capital safely and see He My lord, a family reunion is indeed due to the emperor's good governance of the country, social stability, and pure and good people, so that the three of them can be kept safe and sound."

"Master Wen's words are very true." He Huai'an responded, "The emperor blessed our court so that the ministers can reunite with their families. These days, the ministers are like in a dream, wishing to go back to the past and grow up with a pair of children."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. He's family has just been reunited, and the children have just recognized their father. It takes time for the affection of a father to be kind and filial. It is important to accompany the prince and princess, but human relations and virtues cannot be wasted. Treat them well." After a few years, after knowing the family, the country, and the world, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to come to the palace?" After Wen Renyi finished speaking, he asked He Huai'an, "I wonder if Master He feels the same?"

He Huai'an took a look at Wen Renyi, lifted up his clothes again, and knelt down with his wife and children.

"I am very pleased with the emperor's love for my sons and daughters. However, they have been wandering for the past few years and don't understand etiquette. If they are allowed to enter the palace at this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to help the prince and princess. On the contrary, it will implicate the prince and princess. Therefore, I implore the emperor to allow me to educate them for a few years, and then come to accompany the prince and princess."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Wen, help them up quickly." The emperor showed no displeasure, "I really like these two children, but, Mrs. Wen is right, how can I deprive you of your hard-won family ethics? You What do you say, Mrs. He?"

Ever since Wen Renyi started talking, Fang Xiuyi felt that her IQ was not enough.These three people talked to each other, they didn't know what they were talking about, they even talked about Wen Renyi's proposal to marry her at that time.She is He Huai'an's wife, and even the imperial order was sealed by the emperor himself. Could it be that he didn't know about it, and brought it up in front of He Huai'an and Wen Renyi?
Fang Xiu could tell that He Huai'an came prepared, but he didn't know if it was because the two of them were not familiar with each other, or because He Huai'an didn't like to talk deeply to others, and he didn't tell her in advance.But what is Wen Renyi's intention? Is he really helping them, or does he have other plans?In terms of everyone's relationship, it is estimated that the latter is more likely, but what is he going to do?How could Fang Xiu be allowed to think carefully in this flash?She hastened to speak:
"The concubine listens to Mr. He!"

In this case, in front of the emperor, she absolutely cannot refuse the emperor. Her current wealth and wealth are all given by others. Besides, the emperor probably didn't want her to express any opinions. She is just a She had just been promoted from the position of cook to the position of Mrs. Shang Shu, so the emperor might not even care about her surname.Therefore, it might be best to pretend to be stupid, but even if she is allowed to speak at length, she probably won't be able to say anything.Just leave everything to He Huai'an, he is also a dignified Master Shangshu!

I don't know whether Fang Xiuyi's words just fit the emperor's wishes, or Fang Xiuyi's stupidity just pleased the emperor. After hearing her words, the emperor laughed "haha".

"Hahahaha, Mr. He, Mrs. Zun is really different! You are a lucky one!" The emperor laughed happily alone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The clumsy Jing is simple and straightforward, making Your Majesty laugh!"

"Hahahahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it sounds fresh and comfortable, and it's like this between husband and wife. Well, you all get up!"

Fang Xiu stood up and secretly let out a long sigh of relief. This emperor is unpredictable, his front feet are scary, and his back feet are embarrassing. He is really not an ordinary person.I really admire people like He Huai'an and Wen Renyi who deal with such a leader every day. If the leader gets angry, he will not only blame and demote, but the most fearful thing is that he will die.

"Well, good! Madam He, the Empress Dowager wants to see you and the children, but I like these two children very much and want to talk to them, so you can go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace alone!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Xiuyi saluted the emperor respectfully and sincerely.Although the emperor is uncertain, He Huai'an is also by his side, always able to protect the child well.If he really went to that queen mother's place with himself, it would be really disturbing.In the eyes of these high-ranking people, she is probably just a rural woman from the countryside. Even if she has a first-class order on her head, they probably won't pay attention to her.

Although the air outside the hall was fresh, the air around him was too heavy.Fang Xiu subconsciously raised her head to look at the distant sky outside the palace wall, she really didn't know what's so good here.

The eunuch who led her the way this time was not the last time. Although she had been here for many years, she still couldn't get used to the disregard for the life of the ruled class by the ruling class.Most of the oppressed classes silently suffer from the mentality of class solidification, and can only work hard within this framework, while the ruling classes are all threatening and unscrupulous.If she wasn't Mrs. Shangshu, then what life would be like for her and the children in the future, I dare not imagine.

The palace was really quiet, Fang Xiuyi walked slowly, and the little eunuch beside him led the way respectfully, without saying anything, what made her unbearable was that the oncoming court ladies and the like had to be given When she saluted, her heart was surging and excited, but she still had a condescending expression on her face.Entering the palace these two times is really a world of difference!

"Madam He, the Palace of Compassion is in front of you." The little eunuch reminded Fang Xiuyi softly, "It is said that today is Wu Zhaoyi's birthday, and everyone is gathering in the palace."

Fang Xiuyi's reverie all the way was interrupted by the little eunuch's words, which also made her wake up from it.As for the little eunuch, she was prepared in advance, and she probably had a face-to-face conversation with these pampered women. She suddenly thought that when she was reading novels, those people were used to giving benefits to others, but she didn't Reminder, I didn't bring anything today.Suddenly, Fang Xiuyi took off a ring from the finger of her left hand. She didn't know what material it was made of, but it was a yellow gemstone ring.

"Thank you, little eunuch, for reminding me." Fang Xiuyi handed the ring to the little eunuch through the cover of her long and wide sleeves, "This is a little thought, and I hope eunuch will not dislike it!"

The little eunuch accepted it calmly, "Slave Lu Deqing, serving in front of the imperial court. Thank you Madam He!"

Fang Xiu nodded and said nothing, this is the other party's gesture of goodwill, go back and ask He Huaian how this little eunuch is.

The grandeur of the Compassion Palace is second to none. No matter how Fang Xiu looked at it, he felt that this palace was too ostentatious. He was afraid that others would not know that this was the place where the most noble woman in the world lived. Wearing jade, can you sleep well?

"Mrs. He and Mrs. Fang are here!" The eunuch at the palace gate sent a message inside.

The voice of the message was very loud, and the people inside responded very quickly. The eunuchs in the palace quickly welcomed Fang Xiuyi into the palace gate respectfully.Lu Deqing was also going to follow Fang Xiuyi in, but was stopped by Fang Xiuyi.

"It's better for Eunuch Lu to wait here!" Fang Xiuyi said with a bit of meaning behind his words, and it's unknown if Lu Deqing heard it.

Lu Deqing said "yes" calmly, and then stood beside the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning with a low eyebrow.

Fang Xiuyi was very satisfied with Lu Deqing's reaction, and then walked into the gate of the Palace of Compassionate Ning like a strong man.However, when they were still about two zhang away from the Queen Mother's gate, the eunuch leading the way politely said to Fang Xiuyi: "Madam He, please wait here, let me go in and report."

Fang Xiuyi didn't say anything, and didn't make any movements. This was just a scene, and the main event was the next thing.Sure enough, the eunuchs were gone forever, only occasionally one or two young maids hurried past in the yard, and Fang Xiuyi could still see the corners of their mocking mouths and the sarcasm of smiling at each other.That's right, she was just a lowly cook a few days ago, and now she suddenly turned into Mrs. Yipin, but what about Mrs. Yipin?Still have to stand obediently in this place and wait to be summoned.Maybe, in the eyes of the queen mother, she is not as good as a palace lady here.
