long live the queen

Chapter 41

"What did you say?" Wei Yunqing asked in surprise.

Assisting Yang Yi to become a generation of Mingjun... This kind of words actually came out of the mouth of the first assistant, and her jaw was almost shocked.The first assistant, the first assistant, he is the chief assistant, but he, the first assistant, actually asked her to assist the emperor...

Master Sun, I am a woman!

Wei Yunqing shouted in his heart, of course it's okay to say what he said in modern times, but this is ancient times, where women are considered to be vassals of men, and there is no ancient times with independent personalities!It is impossible for Sun Chengji not to have thought about this obvious fact, so what is his so-called assistant...

"For the sake of Daliang, I hope that Miss Wei can assist the emperor as the emperor's bedside person and give birth to me as the heir of Daliang Sheji." Sun Chengji said.

"It's impossible!" Wei Yunqing flatly refused. When Yang Yi was in the harem, he still had children for him?She's crazy to do that.

After all, the other party was someone who helped him, Wei Yunqing said in a slow tone: "Master Sun, you think too highly of me, I am just an ordinary woman, and I don't have such lofty goals and the ability to match it. Besides, I have There is no way I can agree to this matter."

"Miss Wei, you don't need to underestimate yourself. This old man won't misunderstand people." Sun Chengji said, "Although this old man is the chief assistant, I can't do many things well. I often find it difficult to even see the emperor. The emperor's youthful nature will inevitably be instigated by treacherous villains." Bad, if Miss Wei can guide the emperor more in the harem, it will be the emperor's luck, and it will also be the great Liang's luck."

Wei Yunqing's tone was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning, but his attitude did not soften at all: "Master Sun, I understand your worries, but this fact is beyond my ability. Please ask Master Sun to find another Gao Ming. I believe there will be someone more powerful than me. Good women are willing."

"It's not easy to find another woman who has the ability to guide the emperor and has such influence on the emperor?" Sun Chengji sighed.

"It's not easy, should I sacrifice myself?" Wei Yunqing said, "Master Sun, I am a person, not a tool. I know you have a sincere heart, but I also have my goals, the future I plan for myself , please forgive me for not being able to help you."

Sun Chengji stroked his gray beard for a long time, but did not persuade Wei Yunqing any more.What he liked was her disposition which was different from ordinary women, but it was also her disposition that made him unable to convince her.

Over the years, he has long been used to disappointment. Seeing that Wei Yunqing's attitude was firm and there was no possibility of persuasion, he had no choice but to let go of this idea and sighed: "Miss Wei, if you don't want to, I will naturally not force you. Just be an old man." You haven't mentioned this matter. You can come and find Steward Sun about the small courtyard, and he will arrange it properly."

Hearing what Sun Chengji said, Wei Yunqing's face completely softened.Not to mention that kind of weird things, they are still good friends!
"Thank you, Master Sun." Wei Yunqing smiled gratefully as if the conversation between the two hadn't happened just now.

Under the protection of the guards, Wei Yunqing returned to the palace safely.

Yang Yi hadn't returned to Qianqing Palace yet, and Wei Yunqing's short trip out of the palace did not attract the attention of others. Seeing her safe return, both Lucui and Lantian heaved a sigh of relief.

Near noon the next day, Wei Yunqing left the palace again as agreed with Butler Sun yesterday.Butler Sun was very efficient. He found a yard with three entrances in less than a day. The house price was unexpectedly low. It was only 120 taels, not even 60 in RMB.And this price is due to the good location and the fact that she is in a hurry. If it is a little bit remote, if you choose to counter-offer slowly, you may not even need [-] taels.

Thinking about the housing prices of future generations, Wei Yunqing has the urge to hoard real estate.But considering that this era is not peaceful enough, once a war breaks out, the house is worthless, and the house itself is cheap, and there is no room for appreciation in a short period of time, so let's give up.

In addition to the small courtyard where Sanjin entered, Steward Sun also helped Wei Yunqing find a few servants.A carriage driver, surnamed Ma, and a middle-aged woman who cooks are Uncle Ma’s wife and are called Aunt Ma. The couple was hired together with their 11-year-old daughter Ma Xianglian. Do chores.A middle-aged man around 40 years old, Lu Bugui, who can read and understand accounts, serves as the housekeeper.These are hired, and there are two servant girls and two servants, both of whom are only about 15 years old, and they are bought.The four people who bought it spent a total of 32 taels, and the hired ones paid a monthly fee.

Sun Butler fully understood Wei Yunqing's mentality of a local tyrant and her desire to live a comfortable life. Coupled with the fact that she gave enough money, she was not polite when buying and hiring people, and added eight people to the small courtyard at once.

Wei Yunqing is naturally resistant to human trafficking, but she doesn't want to go against this society either.Thinking about it better, it is a doomed fact that these boys and girls are sold, the difference lies in who they sell to. She bought these boys and girls, and it is also a good thing that they can get better treatment from her.

Satisfied with the new residence and the people hired and purchased, Wei Yunqing accepted the land deed and sold his body, thanked Steward Sun again, and asked Uncle Ma to drive the newly bought carriage back to the palace with the carriage sent by the palace in which she was riding when she left the palace. .This time the guard leader was not the same person as yesterday, but when Wei Yunqing showed the jade pendant, the other party's enthusiasm was exactly the same as yesterday's guard, and he didn't stop her at all.

Asking Uncle Ma to wait outside the palace for now, Wei Yunqing went back to Qianqing Palace alone.Lucui and Lantian had already received Wei Yunqing's orders, and invited a servant who had a good relationship with them to help Wei Yunqing carry the two big boxes to the gate of the palace, and put them on the carriage brought by Uncle Ma.

"Girl, you must remember to visit the servants often." Lu Cui said sobbing, wiping away her tears.

Wei Yunqing smiled and waved his hands: "I know, I will never forget."

Lan Tian stuffed a small embroidery bag and came over: "Girl, this servant just embroidered it for you. When you go out, put the silver in it, and take it easy when rewarding others. No matter how many rewards the emperor gives you, it will not stand up to you." Such a flower."

When Wei Yunqing was rich, he spent all kinds of extravagant money. Lan Tian kept persuading her, but it was useless. The matter of grabbing a handful of gold and silver jewelry and rewarding them like yesterday aggravated her worries. Before she left, she couldn't help reminding her again she.

"I get it, Lan Tian, ​​don't worry, I promise not to waste it when I go out." Wei Yunqing still smiled and took the brocade bag, "I will take good care of this, don't worry."

While wiping her tears, Lu Cui gave Lan Tian a dissatisfied look: "Sister Lan Tian, ​​you quietly make things for the girl yourself but don't call me!"

Lan Tian's eyes were also flushed, and he squinted at Lu Cui: "Can your embroiderer see?"

"Why can't I read it? Girls praise my embroidery!" Lu Cui retorted.

Wei Yunqing recalled that Lu Cui embroidery became an abstract peony, and immediately turned his eyes away and pretended not to hear it—it has aura, is erratic enough, it can be said to be any kind of flower...

"I'm leaving now, don't miss me too much." Wei Yunqing smiled and watched the two bicker for a while, then said goodbye to them, and got into the carriage.

Lucui and Lantian stood at the gate of the palace and waved their hands vigorously until the carriage was no longer visible, then they returned to Qianqing Palace with dejected expressions.

When the carriage arrived at Wei Yunqing's small courtyard, Steward Lu was leading everyone to wait at the gatehouse. Seeing her come back, everyone hurriedly helped move all her things back to the courtyard.

Wei Yunqing is the owner of the small courtyard, and she is only a girl, but Housekeeper Lu dare not slight her.Butler Sun clearly told him when he was recruiting that this girl Wei had something to do with the palace, and he just had to take good care of the house, don't ask for details.Butler Lu is also a sensible person, and he should never ask too many questions. Miss Wei's wages are generous enough, so he can't mess up this job as a housekeeper.Therefore, Steward Lu also reminded the rest of them to do their job well and leave the rest alone.

After putting away the things brought from the palace, Wei Yunqing left Aunt Ma and Ma Xianglian to look after the house, while the rest went out to make big purchases together.The courtyard is almost empty, and they have to buy everything.In order to facilitate the care of the small courtyard, the eight people will live here, and there are too many things to buy, so Wei Yunqing handed over other people's things to Steward Lu to purchase, and she took two maids to divide up the layout of her own room. action.

The two maids, one named Shaoyao and the other named Xiu'er, were originally servant girls of a wealthy family, but they were sold out because of the downfall of the master's family, so they were well trained, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they were very tactful and tactful. Seeing this, Wei Yunqing was amazed.At her age, she was still in junior high school and didn't understand anything, so how could she compare to them.

It took a whole afternoon to finally buy all the things. After reuniting with Steward Lu, Wei Yunqing and Steward Lu went back home first, put all the things away, called everyone, and went to a restaurant together in a mighty way. There is a whole table of dishes, let everyone eat it without hesitation.

Steward Lu and the others originally thought that Wei Yunqing, a master related to the palace, would be more dignified, but she was too easy-going, and a group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to move their chopsticks casually.Later, it was Wei Yunqing who saw that everyone was too reserved, so he asked Xiao Er to serve some warm rice wine, everyone toasted, and everyone drank it with trepidation, and the atmosphere finally became more lively after that.

When everyone returned to the small courtyard after having a good meal, everyone had basically figured out Wei Yunqing's temper, and they had more expectations for the future - the host is easy-going, and this day will be easier.

On the first night of living in his small courtyard, Wei Yunqing slept soundly.With money, a house, a car, and someone to serve her, she is full of expectations for her future life.

Early the next morning, Wei Yunqing went out again with two maids to buy some books, paper and other utensils.After the material life is guaranteed, the spiritual life must also keep up, otherwise how boring it is?In this ancient times without computers and internet, she always wanted to have some fun for herself.

Wei Yunqing decided to look for Yan Rusong in the afternoon after buying the books.

The few people didn't buy much, and they didn't use the carriage, they walked back and forth.Wei Yunqing likes to play with people, and got acquainted with Shaoyao and Xiu'er very quickly. The three of them talked and laughed all the way back to the small courtyard. Before they got close, they saw many people surrounded her small courtyard. Everyone had to take a detour, and no one dared to approach.

"Girl, what, what's going on here?" Xiu'er was one year younger than Shao Yao, a little timid, and when she saw this battle, her face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to move forward.

Shao Yao was not much better than Xiu'er, tremblingly whispered: "Girl, let's leave here first, and come back after finding out what's going on..."

Wei Yunqing was also in doubt, but after watching for a while, she comforted the two little girls: "It should be fine. If you are afraid, stay here for a while, and I will go back first."

She recognized them, those people seemed to be dressed as palace guards, so the person in her yard now was probably Yang Yi.

Shaoyao and Xiu'er looked at each other, Wei Yunqing's hand was in the contract of selling their lives, both of them were prosperous and all were harmed by each other. At this moment, they didn't seem to be in a panic when they saw her. Thinking of Steward Lu's advice, they felt a little more confident .Shao Yao said: "Girl, let us go back with you."

"Then let's go there." Wei Yunqing said.

When the three of them approached the small courtyard, two guards came up to stop them: "Who is it? We won't let you pass here!"

Wei Yunqing pointed to the small courtyard and said, "This is my home."

The two guards were taken aback for a moment, then stepped aside and said in unison, "Miss Wei, please."

Seeing this, Wei Yunqing became more aware, and returned to the small courtyard with the two trembling little girls.Steward Lu led Xiaoman, Xiaoshuan and Uncle Ma's family to stand in the yard. Several guards stared at them. The group was at a loss, clinging to each other and showing panic.Seeing Wei Yunqing walking in, Steward Lu's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by a guard: "Stop!"

Wei Yunqing was upset: "This is my home, they are my family, who allows you to bully them?"

This group of guards had never seen Wei Yunqing before, but they probably knew why they were here. Seeing what she said, they looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.

But in the eyes of Steward Lu, Wei Yunqing's words stopped this group of people who were clearly from the government, and her identity became more and more unpredictable in his eyes.

"Sister Yunqing!"

The door of the main room was opened, and Yang Yi walked out quickly, who would have thought that just as he got close to Wei Yunqing, what he met was her cold face, and her figure gave a pause.

Seeing the appearance of this group of guards, Wei Yunqing knew that the person who came was basically Yang Yi, so he was not surprised to see him, but said with a sullen face: "Bring so many people to surround my house, do you think I am a fugitive?"

Yang Yi was taken aback, and Zheng Xiang, who came out behind him, immediately smiled flatteringly: "Miss Wei, the master is also worried about you. Don't worry, they will go out soon."

As he said that, he waved his hand to the guards in the yard: "Did you hear that, you all go to stay outside the house, and you are not allowed to come in without the master's order."

The guards obeyed the order and filed out, and the courtyard was completely evacuated in an instant.

Wei Yunqing ignored Yang Yi, and said to Steward Lu: "Housekeeper Lu, you can wait for them to rest first, I will call you later if there is something to do."

Butler Lu nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss."

He didn't dare to look at Yang Yi more, and led everyone into the wing room where he lived.

Only then did Wei Yunqing lead Yang Yi back to the main room.

Yang Yi walked along, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Yunqing, you can leave as soon as you want, and you don't come to tell me. Didn't you agree to stay for a few more days?"

Wei Yunqing sat down at the round table, poured himself a glass of water, moistened his throat first, then looked at Yang Yi and said, "I want to tell you, but what about you?"

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze away unnaturally.He was fascinated as soon as he played, who knew that sister Yunqing would move out of the palace in just a day or two?He somewhat regretted giving her jade pendant the right to enter and exit the palace freely.

"But sister Yunqing, it's not like you can't find me." Yang Yi muttered.

Speaking of this, Wei Yunqing got angry, propped his chin and said, "You think I didn't find it? But someone stopped me, can I find you?"

Yang Yi was startled: "Who dares to stop you?"

Wei Yunqing looked at him, raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Yang Yi looked at Wei Yunqing suspiciously at first, but after a while he figured it out.He was at Concubine Zhuang's these two days, who else could stop Sister Yunqing?
"The slaves under Concubine Zhuang have the guts to stop you, and I will have to skin them when I go back!" Yang Yi said angrily.

Wei Yunqing sneered: "You settle accounts, and find the right person, don't blame others."

"Sister Yunqing, what did you say?" Yang Yi asked puzzled.

"Without Concubine Zhuang's order, where would they have the guts to stop me?" Wei Yunqing smiled, and then said nonchalantly, "But the matter is over, and there is nothing to pursue. What's the matter with you here?"

Yang Yi didn't care about Wei Yunqing's behavior of directly changing the topic. Hearing her question, he immediately said: "Sister Yunqing, it's my fault. I shouldn't have ignored you. I promise that such things will never happen again in the future." Son, come back with me!"

Wei Yunqing asked in surprise, "What am I going back for?"

Yang Yi was startled, and then realized that he couldn't answer this question.

Wei Yunqing said: "Look at this small courtyard. I just bought it. It's pretty good, isn't it? I even found helpers. If you let me leave like this, what will they do?"

Yang Yi said anxiously: "Give them some money and dismiss them."

"Give me more money." Wei Yunqing spread his hands.

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then reached into his bosom to touch, Wei Yunqing hurriedly stopped him: "I'm joking, you really give it to me."

Yang Yi fumbled for a long time but found nothing. Normally, he would not bring money at all, and was about to ask Zheng Xiang to take the money. Hearing what Wei Yunqing said, he sat down and said, "Sister Yunqing, I will give you whatever you want." I can give it to you."

I want your country, will you give it?
Because Zheng Xiang was present, Wei Yunqing thought about these words in his heart and dared not say them out.

"Even if I go back to the palace, I'll be out in a few days. Anyway, I've seen enough of the palace, so why go back?" Wei Yunqing said, "If you feel bored, you can come here to play with me. If I If I'm bored, I can go to the palace to play with you. Is this jade pendant free to enter and leave the palace?"

Yang Yi nodded vigorously, and then said: "But there is no safety outside the palace, sister Yun Qing, you can go back with me."

"Shangjing is at the foot of the emperor, so where can it be in danger? Besides, manly man, keep what you say! We agreed before that I will move out after staying in the palace for a few days. You can't go back on your word," Wei Yunqing said.At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Sun Chengji said to her, and she suddenly felt a chill, and she became more determined that she must never move back to the palace.

Seeing Wei Yunqing's serious expression, Yang Yi could no longer say the words asking her to go back to the palace.Even though he was the emperor, he usually said the same thing to others, but now the one who disagreed with him was sister Yun Qing, how dare he order her with the majesty of an emperor?

"Then can I visit you every day?" Yang Yi asked cautiously.

"Every day?" Wei Yunqing raised his brows, "You should clock in at work...that... Yingmao? If you come every day, do I still have to live a serious life? Just once or twice a month, you are the emperor , You deal with state affairs and family affairs."

"Sun Chengji has state affairs, and I don't need to take care of the affairs of the palace." Yang Yi said, seeing Wei Yunqing's firm attitude, he had to back down a bit and said, "Then I will come once every three days, okay?"

Wei Yunqing shook his head again and again: "No, they come too often, up to three times a month."

Yang Yi refused: "It's been too long, Sister Yunqing, it's been too long! Once every four days, it can't be longer!"

"Once every five days, if you bargain with me again, don't come again." Wei Yunqing made the final decision.

Yang Yi's face was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to disobey Wei Yunqing's intentions, and reluctantly said: "Okay, then once every five days."

"Also, don't bring so many people with you, it will scare my family." Wei Yunqing added.

Yang Yi nodded, he had no objection to this at all, once every five days had already filled his heart with disappointment, and he couldn't bring himself to talk about other things.

"Then it's settled, you go back to the palace, it's not good to stay outside for too long." Wei Yunqing started to chase people away, she was thinking of going out to find Yan Rusong after lunch early.

"I just came here!" Yang Yi almost jumped up.He can only come once every five days, and if he just sits down once, wouldn't he have no way to spend more time with Sister Yunqing?

Wei Yunqing thought for a while and said, "Okay, then leave after lunch. By the way... Are you afraid that someone will poison you?"

"What?" Yang Yi was just about to be happy that she kept him for dinner, but was confused by her question later.

Wei Yunqing said solemnly: "You are the emperor, aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death by eating food from outside? I dare to eat food from my own house, it depends on whether you dare to eat it or not."

"Of course you dare!" Yang Yi quickly responded, "Sister Yunqing, you won't harm me."

Wei Yunqing thought to himself, Yang Yi has set a flag, the more people who think it is impossible to harm him, the more likely they are to harm him, this is the general law of the plot.

She was thinking about irrelevant things, so she asked Yang Yi to sit down first, and went to find Aunt Ma by herself, and asked her to make a big lunch today, and to cook more, and take the guards outside.

After returning to the room, Wei Yunqing still didn't forget to say: "The food here is not as expensive as in the palace. If you don't like it, you can leave now. When the food is served later, you will think it is not up to standard. I won't serve it next time. "

Yang Yi quickly shook his head: "No, I don't dislike it!"

Wei Yunqing and Yang Yi bargained and made various gags, while Zheng Xiang, who was in front of the set, opened his eyes.

He has seen people who have a good relationship with the emperor, but he has never seen someone who has such a good relationship with the emperor, and even scolded the emperor as a junior.The concubine in the palace could barely be regarded as the elder of the emperor, but she didn't dare to talk to the emperor like that.

This Miss Wei... Hey, it's fine if you're a friend, but if you're an enemy, you'll be in trouble.
