Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 209 Even when it is Hugh (2)

There are no eunuchs standing outside the House of Internal Affairs, but the door is open. Before Qing Ru enters the House of Internal Affairs, he heard the voice of shouting and cursing inside. It sounded like Director Yao, and he seemed to be scolding someone. Qing Ru was curious and walked towards the direction where the voice came from. Along the way, eunuchs kept seeing her and wanted to salute in panic, but she stopped them all.

When I got closer, I saw that Director Yao was reprimanding people, but what Jiao Qingru never imagined was that the person he was scolding was actually Xiao Luzi, who was the newly appointed deputy director general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He bowed his head in awe In front of Director Yao, he didn't dare to refute his reprimand, but the content of the reprimand was not very clear. All he knew was that Xiao Luzi sent some things to Yanxi Palace without asking him for instructions. His words were extremely unpleasant, and it's really fortunate that Xiao Luzi could bear it. Although many people passed by, no one dared to persuade him.

Standing at the corner with a livid face and listening, when Director Yao saw that the scolding was almost over, he said: "Eunuch Lu, don't think that you can do whatever you want because you are the wife of Concubine Wan. In this House of Internal Affairs, you are just a deputy Manager, I am the serious manager, you have to ask me for instructions before doing anything, even if it is sending a potted flower or a grain of rice! Do you understand?"

Xiao Luzi lowered his head and responded repeatedly, expressing that he must remember it in the future, and Director Yao left satisfied. Xiao Luzi stopped where he was and ran away from him, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, then turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to leave. But when he saw Qing Ru, who was as cold as ice, he was stunned immediately. Needless to say, the master must have seen the scene just now, and she must be angry for embarrassing her like this. Sleeve prostrate on the ground: "The slave pays respects to the master, the master is auspicious!"

Qing Ru asked him to get up, but said nothing with a cold face. After Xiao Luzi stood up anxiously, he smiled unnaturally: "Master, when did you come? Why didn't you inform the slave so that the slave can be taken care of?" to meet you!"

Qing Ru took a few glances at him and said, "Take Bengong to see where you live!"

Xiao Luzi didn't know what she meant by what she said, but how could he refuse the master's order, so he took Qingru to the place where he lived, it was a room for one person, although it was not big, the windows were bright and clean, and the furnishings inside were not bad. He was much better when he was an ordinary eunuch in Yanxi Palace. Xiao Luzi led Qing Ru to look after him and said: "Master, you see, this slave lives comfortably here, and there are people waiting for him!"

"Aren't you going to tell me the truth?" Qingru's gaze on Xiaoluzi's face suddenly became sharp, and Mianyi kept hinting to Xiaoluzi to tell the truth soon.

Xiao Luzi's forced smile finally couldn't be maintained anymore, he knelt in front of Qingru and choked up: "Master, it's useless to be a slave, I've shamed you, ever since the slave came, that Manager Yao always looked at the slave Not pleasing to the eye, pointing at the slave and scolding the slave when he catches a trivial matter, as for the people below, they also ignore the slave because of Manager Yao, master, you bothered to transfer the slave here to be the deputy manager, but the slave I don’t have that ability, I have humiliated you so much, the slave should die!” Before Qingru could speak, he slapped himself on the mouth, and he slapped him so hard that his face swelled up after a while.

"Okay, stop beating!" Although Qing Ru was unhappy, she was not angry with Xiao Luzi, and after stopping Xiao Luzi's self-blaming behavior, Mian Yi asked Mian Yi to help him up: "That Director Yao is narrow-minded, When the Japanese Palace once scolded him for a while, he always kept it in his heart, you are from this palace, so naturally he would not give you a good look, and this palace is not angry because of other things, but angry that you should not deceive this palace , What did you say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very good and takes good care of you!"

"The slave just doesn't want the master to worry!" Xiao Luzi muttered after getting up.

Qingru sighed suddenly, and her expression softened: "I also know that you are loyal, since Manager Yao won't let you send things to my palace, then don't give them away. Anyway, there is a lack of these in my palace. By the way, did he ever beat you?" She saw that Xiao Luzi didn't look like he was injured, but she still asked worriedly.

"That's not true. The servant is also a deputy manager anyway. He is always a little scrupulous, so the most he can do is scold him on weekdays!"

Qingru nodded and said: "That's good, you can stay here with peace of mind, bear with it for the time being, I don't need to go there, I don't need to go there, as long as I know you have the heart, as for that servant named Yao... "His eyes narrowed slightly to cover the cold light in his eyes: "If he dares to bully me, he must pay the price!"

After Qingru gave Xiao Luzi a few more instructions, Fang left the House of Internal Affairs in a thoughtful manner, and returned to the Palace of Yanxi Palace during his walk. Just as he was about to enter the main hall to rest, his heart suddenly moved, and he greeted Xiangyuan Dao who came out. : "How is the reconstruction of the side hall?"

Xiang Yuanxian often watched the progress of the reconstruction of the side hall, so after hearing Qingru's words, he said without thinking: "If you go back to your mother, the side hall has already started to build beams, and it must be completed in a month or so. , but I’m afraid it will take some time for the details inside!”

Qingru nodded, the pink handkerchief in her hand revealed a corner embroidered with orchids, she stared at it for a long time and said: "Look!" As she spoke, she first walked towards the Dongpian Hall under construction, Xiangyuan and Mian Yixiang glanced at each other, feeling a little strange in his heart, the master had never asked about the construction of the side hall, nor had he visited it, why did they suddenly become interested in it today, although they didn't understand, they still hurriedly followed.

When they got there, they saw that under the supervision of the supervising eunuchs, those workers were hard at work putting up logs one by one, and there were still many thick and long logs piled up on the ground.

When the supervising eunuch saw Qing Ru coming, he hurried over to call Qian courteously: "Master Wan is auspicious, and my servant Hong Xing greets you!"

Qingru said casually: "Forget it, I remember that you are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"

"Going back to Master Wan, the servant is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was sent here to oversee the work. A batch of timber has just been shipped, so the servant has to keep an eye on it so that these workers don't mess around!" After finishing speaking, his eyes rolled away. He continued: "Master Wan, why did you come here, this place is very dirty, there are dust everywhere, if you dirty your clothes, the slave will not be guilty, you should go back quickly!"

"It's okay, I'm just looking at it casually!" Qing Ru stopped in front of the pile of wood and looked at it for a while, and that Hong Xing looked a little unnatural when he saw that she seemed to be interested in wood, but Qing Ru just looked at it. After a while, he quickly looked away: "Are all these logs purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Hong Xing followed her and said, "Master Hui Wan, not only the wood, but all the things here are purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everything is made according to the original materials!"

"Oh!" Qingru nodded noncommittally, unable to see what she meant by asking: "Is it the hands of your chief manager?"

Hong Xing seemed to sense that Qing Ru's question was not simple, so he said with some hesitation: "Master Wan, this is..."

Qing Ru glanced at him sideways, and suddenly laughed: "It's nothing, I just asked casually, well, you can do things here, I'm back!"

After hearing her words, Hong Xing secretly felt a little relieved, and bowed his head and said: "This slave sends Master Wan respectfully!"

After Qing Ru glanced at the construction workers again, she left happily and returned to the main hall of her Yanxi Palace. Zijin brought the sweet-scented osmanthus dew that she had prepared earlier: "Miss, you are tired after going out for so long, have a drink. Osmanthus dew!"

Qing Ru stretched out her hand to take it, and just took a sip, her brows frowned, and Zijin whispered beside her: "What's the matter, miss, is it not good to drink? Probably not, it's always been like this before, aren't you Say it's delicious?"

Qingru shook her head and said: "It's not because of this, but because I suddenly thought of something!" Taking advantage of the fact that there were only a few confidantes in the hall, she said what she had just seen in the side hall and her own doubts: "I Looking carefully at the wood just now, its grain, texture and even size seem to be much worse than those used in the side hall, but that Hong Xing said that he bought it according to the previous materials, which seems unreasonable!"

"Master, could it be that they made a mistake? They bought the wrong one?" Mian Yi was the first to speak.

Xiangyuan immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible. If the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't even do this well, then he doesn't need to be the head of the house, unless..." At this point, she suddenly stopped talking and turned her eyes to Qing Such as.

Qingru glanced at her appreciatively and said: "That's right, if it wasn't that his old eyes were blinded by others, then only what you said could explain it. What a good manager Yao, I can't see that he still has such courage!"

Zijin and Mianyi looked at each other, wondering what riddles they were playing, what unless, what courage, the more they listened, the more confused they became, until Xiangyuan whispered a few words in their ears, they suddenly realized , It turned out to be the case, no wonder it was said that Mr. Yao was courageous enough.

"Master, shall we tell the emperor now?" Mian Yi suggested, since they followed the master, especially in the early stage when the master was not favored, that manager Yao always cut the fees severely, and later because of the master's favor He didn't dare to be harsh anymore and became courteous, but as soon as the emperor disliked his master a little bit, that manager Yao would immediately change his face, and they had long since disliked him because he was a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Manager, there is nothing you can do, now that you have such a good opportunity, how can you let it go.

Qing Ru caressed the armor on her finger and pondered: "Now we don't have any real evidence, it's too early to tell the emperor, we'd better wait until the evidence is collected, and..." Qing Ru stood up while leaning on the edge of the table, protecting her. A's smoothness stroked her hair: "And I will take this opportunity to make Xiao Luzi the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Her voice declared her determination, and anyone who dared to bully her would have to pay for it. There is a price!
