Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 30

In the afternoon of that day, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace came to Shuiyun Palace to spread the word that Lord Long Live would come to have dinner tonight.

The virtuous man has been preparing in the room since the afternoon, and this is the first time Tong Wanrou has seen this kind of battle. Incense, haircut, clothes selection, and even nails have to be trimmed and decorated by someone specially sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She and Nanny Gui stood by the screen, watching the virtuous people cooperate.

Nanny Gui said to Tong Wanrou in a low voice, "Your nobleman looks better in that pink dress."

Tong Wanrou remembered that the virtuous man had a pink palace attire, and she looked young and energetic in it. It was indeed better than the color-decorated palace attire that the aunt of the House of Internal Affairs had chosen for the sage, so she smiled at Nanny Gui and said, show their approval.

"If the nobleman's body is heavy, he must be so tired every time the emperor comes up."

Tong Wanrou only felt that these things were extremely cumbersome, if the emperor came every day, then these concubines would really stop doing other things for a day, and would just change their clothes and put on makeup all day long.

Nanny Gui made a silent gesture to Tong Wanrou, and said in a low voice, "Shh, don't say that out loud, how can women in the palace find it tiring and tiresome? If no one comes to torment you, it means you are not Hong, I can't wait for someone to come and make trouble every day, how can I feel tired."

Tong Wanrou secretly shrugged at Nanny Gui, and stretched out her uvula. Nanny Gui liked the elf's appearance, and the two said again:
"The nobleman is pregnant, and these people dare not make much trouble. You haven't seen that when the nobleman went to bed, the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs insisted that taking a bath can remove edema. On the day when the nobleman is sure to go to bed, the nobleman can't eat it. Things have to be soaked in warm water from the afternoon. The name is flower petal bath. In fact, I think the water is coming out. That’s the torment. After two hours of hot bath, at night, the whole body is exhausted. I'm exhausted, how can I still have the energy to serve the Lord Long Live? The nobleman always insists on it. Fortunately, this time the nobleman is pregnant, so the matter of taking a bath can be avoided. Loved it."

The more Tong Wanrou listened, the more she felt that the women in the palace were pitiful. They were talking, but they heard the aunt from the House of Internal Affairs shouting:

"The nobleman is well, don't come to help me yet."

Nanny Gui was used to this, she left Tong Wanrou behind and walked over.

Aunt Rong Xi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Tong Wanrou with three maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tong Wanrou knew that she was just the aunt in charge of the Shuiyun Palace, and her status was naturally inferior to her who came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she decisively became shorter. , bowed to Aunt Rongxi and said:

"Greetings to my aunt."

Aunt Rongxi is a woman in her thirties. Judging by her braids, she should be full-grown. Maybe she was born in a coat. She can't talk about her bearing. She looks stable at most. She doesn't dodge, so she just suffers. Tong Wanrou's courtesy, after Tong Wanrou got up, she opened her mouth and said:
"The palace is no better than the outside. Although you were promoted privately by a nobleman and you haven't gone through three provinces and six ways of consideration, I think it looks good. From now on, you have to serve the nobleman well, you know?"

Tong Wanrou listened to her with a smile on her face. It's not that she didn't hear the warning and sourness in her words. She must have gone through a lot of cold to sit in her current position. For someone like Tong Wanrou, she didn't go through any training. Of course, someone who just became an aunt in the first palace would be disrespectful. Tong Wanrou understood the truth, so she didn't bother with her, and said to her respectfully:
"Yes, Wanrou wrote it down."

After the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, it was almost Mao time, and Tong Wanrou and Nanny Gui served the virtuous man to eat some liquid food. After a while, they heard loud singing outside:

"The Emperor is here—"

Following this chanting, all the people in Shuiyun Palace, under the leadership of the virtuous person, went outside the main hall to greet the holy driver. After kneeling and worshiping, all the servants in Shuiyun Palace were occupied by people from Qianqing Palace. When the emperor came up last time, he only stayed for a while, Tong Wanrou was in the warehouse and was unable to see him, but this time, the virtuous man deliberately asked Tong Wanrou to stay and kneel down to the emperor to thank the Lord Long Shengen, and it was a formal obeisance to Li Dequan, the chief executive After returning to the mountain, the virtuous person asked Nanny Gui to arrange a lot of gold and silver for Tong Wanrou in private for Li Dequan, and told him to support him in front of the emperor, and Li Dequan agreed one by one.

The emperor knew about Tong Wanrou's entry into the palace to accompany the virtuous person, so he accepted the favor very often, so he asked Li Dequan to go down and give some instructions, and Tong Wanrou and Nanny Gui were also taken out by Li Dequan, and everyone waited outside the door .

Li Dequan is the head of the palace, and he served the Lord Long Live personally all the way when he was hiding in the mansion. Not to mention he is a famous person in front of the Lord Long Live, but at least he is the person who has the most contact with the Emperor in the entire palace, so his status is naturally extraordinary. .

During the conversation, Li Dequan's attitude was very kind, which surprised Tong Wanrou.

During the conversation with Li Dequan, Tong Wanrou found out that her marriage with Fu Heng was the decree passed on by Li Dequan's apprentice San Dezi, that is to say, her marriage with Fu Heng was originally appointed by the Lord Long Live. It can be seen from this that Long Live Lord is quite happy with Fu Heng, but he doesn't know whether this joy is because of his father-in-law, Li Rongbao, or because of the noble man with the lowest rank in the palace.

If it is because of the father-in-law, it doesn't look like the situation. After all, Tong Wanrou has been in the door for so long, and she also knows that the father-in-law is a person who clearly distinguishes the father-in-law from the concubine. The concubine, not the concubine Fu Heng, so it is very likely that the Long Live Lord wanted to praise the virtuous from the beginning to the end, so he wanted to praise her family as well, and she, Tong Wanrou and Fu Heng, in the eyes of the Long Live Lord, The noble family.

Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to guess that the Lord Long Live may not be as indifferent to the virtuous and noble as it appears on the surface. Although the status is not high, the virtuous and noble is the first one to become pregnant after the emperor ascended the throne. .

When Lord Long Live was still the prince in Qiandi, he once had a child, who was born to the Heshe family who is now named the imperial concubine. Unfortunately, the child died before he was three years old. The family gave birth to the emperor's daughter. During the few years since the emperor's ascension to the throne, because he was busy with state affairs, although he occasionally went to the concubine's womb to spend the night, he never lingered too much, so that there was no news of any concubine in the palace for several years. With pregnancy, Xianguiren's birth is the first one.

It would be fine if she gave birth to a daughter in this pregnancy, but if she gave birth to a son... then the mother is more expensive than the child, and she will rise to the sky, and the concubine Feng is just around the corner.

There is now a royal concubine beside the Long Live Lord, and the four concubines have two concubines, Concubine Qi and Concubine Rou, plus a virtuous person, and there are only four people who are serving closely. Years old, therefore, Lord Long Live respects and loves her, but he doesn't often go to serve her bed. Concubine Qi and Concubine Rou are evenly matched, and Lord Long Live can sit to enjoy the rain and dew evenly. Not long, but... It's always true that a nobleman is pregnant.

From this, Tong Wanrou can conclude that, in fact, a large part of the reason for the enviable encounter between her and her husband is due to the virtuous person.

In other words, as long as the Lord Long Live's love for the virtuous and noble people remains undiminished, then the official career of Xianggong will be smoother and smoother. After all, the emperor has made an exception to promote Xianggong who is a bastard son, so in the future, he will not suppress him again.And the first thing she and Xianggong do now is to keep the worthy people.

I don't know if the relationship between them has been figured out.You must find an opportunity to discuss it with him.

After talking with Li Dequan, Tong Wanrou and Nanny Gui stood guard outside the main hall. About an hour later, Li Dequan ordered people to start singing:
"Long Live God, let's drive..."

Tong Wanrou thought that she and Nanny Gui would stay outside overnight, but she didn't expect that Long Live Lord would come out so soon.Kneeling on the ground behind Nanny Gui to send off the holy driver, the bright yellow brocade boots stopped in front of Nanny Gui and Tong Wanrou, and said in a high and majestic voice:

"The nobleman is pregnant, so don't let her worry about some things. It's only been three months, and she's lost so much weight. If she loses weight, I won't spare you servants!"

Nanny Gui was trembling with fright, but she didn't dare to tell Lord Long Live what happened in the palace, so she could only reply with a trembling voice:

"Yes, yes, the servant obeys the order and will definitely serve the master well."

Tong Wanrou also followed Nanny Gui, muttered twice, and then Lord Long Live walked up the Jiuqu Corridor, and left Shuiyun Palace with a group of attendants.

Gui Momo didn't dare to stand up until she couldn't see the figure of Wansui, her legs seemed to be a little weak from fright, seeing this, Tong Wanrou hurried up to help her up, the two went to the hall, and saw the virtuous man sitting slowly on the bed After getting up, Nanny Gui asked Tong Wanrou to rush over to help her, and the virtuous man shook her hand and said:
"No need."

Tong Wanrou still went over to hold her arm, the virtuous man smiled at her and said:

"Fu Heng is on vacation tomorrow, so you should go back and get together."

Tong Wanrou didn't expect that the virtuous person would say this to her, and supported her to stand there motionless, the virtuous person walked up to the soft couch and sat down, saying:
"You newlyweds, it's not good for couples to get together less and leave more. I have already told the emperor that your duty days will be the same as that of the guards. Whenever Fu Heng rests, you can also rest, okay? "

Tong Wanrou simply didn't know how to answer the virtuous man. Originally, she was already prepared to not see Fu Heng for a long time, but unexpectedly, the virtuous man was so considerate.

"But the matter of Shuiyun Palace..."

She has only just taken over for a few days. If she really takes a half-month rotation, will she be hated by others?

But the virtuous man smiled and said: "You just need to arrange the affairs of Shuiyun Palace properly before you rest, but it will take a day or two for me to ask Nanny Gui to keep an eye on it for me."

Tong Wanrou was so moved by the virtuous person that she couldn't help walking up to her, Yingying knelt down, slapped her head and said:

"Thank you for your understanding."

The virtuous man raised his hand to wake her up, stretched out his hand to Tong Wanrou, held it gently, and said, "After you go back, you don't need to tell my mother and Fu Heng what happened in the palace, just say that I am doing well, Your Majesty." It's good for me, let them not worry about me, okay?"

Tong Wanrou looked at the kind eyes of the virtuous man, and nodded lightly, and then the virtuous man patted the back of her hand reassuringly.
