Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 76

Uh?The emperor was stunned for a while. July and August are the seasons when floods are most likely to occur. Once a river breaks its embankment, there will be a lot of mourning, and the entire imperial court will be overwhelmed by busy people.Isn't it so hanging... Is it doomed that I will not have a good life this year? "Well, it doesn't matter, didn't we just rob a large amount of silver? It's not a problem to save ten or eight disasters." Thinking of this, Shui Cangming's mood became a little gloomy again.He really didn't expect to copy so much money this time.Even the declining Jia family has collected a lot of money this year because of Concubine Yuan Gui.The piles of gold, silver, jewels, and rare antiques were piled up in the warehouse. His Majesty the Emperor looked at them and almost turned green.This is not as small as the collection in his palace. "Huangfu, how much money can we earn if we change all the officials in the capital once?" His majesty the emperor was whimsical, with the shape of copper coins rolling in his eyes.Huangfu Bingyan said indifferently: "I don't know how much money I can make, but I guess it will be until the first emperor of the Shui family who forced his subjects to rebel looks like."

"You won't save me?" Shui Cangming tilted his head and glared at him.Huangfu Bingyan said indifferently: "I don't need to work hard for an emperor with an abnormal mind."

You are not normal!The emperor was furious.It's a pity that he dared not speak out, "I don't care, I'm not allowed to go out to escape the summer heat, and I'm not allowed to play! I want to confiscate my home and family! I want a lot of money!" The emperor turned into a three-year-old urchin in an instant.It suddenly occurred to me that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, that is, his senior brother, mentioned that he wanted to sleep in the pile of money when he was the one with the most money in the treasury.If there is a little more, the miser of the senior brother should not mind giving him a little bit.He also wants to sleep in the pile of money, and then throw the money at Huangfu's annoying face!Huangfu Bingyan didn't seem to notice his childish appearance, he drank the last sip of tea and said: "The Xue family is the richest man in Jinling, if you need money, go get it." Shui Cangming blinked and asked, "Why don't you copy it?" ?”

"I don't want to bully orphans and widows. You can send someone there."

Shui Cangming snorted disdainfully in his heart: Hypocrisy!What's so great about bullying orphans and widows.Just do it.Pooh!I didn't bully orphans and widows, it's because they deserved it!

"My Majesty, my lord, just now the maids of Fengzao Palace came to report that Concubine Yuan Gui has left Fengzao Palace." Outside the imperial study, the voice of Xiao Lizi's father-in-law sounded.Seeing that nothing was wrong, Huangfu Bingyan got up and patted his clothes and said, "I will leave." Shui Cangming said with a sullen face, "What's the hurry, isn't there something wrong?" Huangfu Bingyan said: "This is As a foreign minister, it is inappropriate for mediocre ministers to participate in the emperor's family affairs." Shui Cangming smiled flatteringly, "Ah, big brother, don't treat others like this. Isn't your younger brother's family affairs also your family's affairs? Elder brother is like a father "Huangfu Bingyan looked back at him, "Shui Cangming, don't tell me you can't bear to deal with her. If you really can't bear to deal with her, just keep it. A woman probably won't make any big waves." Huangfu Bingyan doesn't believe that Shui Cangming will I can't bear it, in fact, this younger brother is more kind than anyone else when he smiles, but he is more ruthless than anyone else when he is really ruthless.Shui Cangming propped his chin in great melancholy and said: "After all, she is also the biological mother of the prince. We raised her so high before, and there was a lot of trouble. When the little prince grows up, he will be sad if he knows who his biological mother is. Big brother, this is clearly against the excellent prince education of our Shui family." Is it easy to think that in the past few generations of our Shui family, there has been no such thing as brothers fighting against each other?That is to be carefully educated.If the father and mother sent one of their brothers out of the palace back then, they didn't care about it, maybe how many years later they would come back to perform a story of the prince's revenge.

Huangfu Bingyan looked at him sideways, "What does this have to do with me? Your surname is Shui, and my surname is Huangfu. I will retire as a minister." Huangfu Bingyan's figure quickly disappeared at the door of the imperial study.Only Shui Cangming was left holding his head and thinking hard.

During this period of Yuanchun, she was very frightened, which was completely opposite to the elation of the imperial concubine before.She has never seen the emperor since the day she gave birth to the little prince, and was trapped in Fengzao Palace for more than two months and could not leave.Although the daily necessities are still of the imperial concubine's level, there is nothing extra.And from the beginning to the end, I didn't even see the child.The news that she quietly ordered someone to send her out of the palace also disappeared without a word.Mrs. Wang did not come to the palace to greet her.The faint uneasiness in her heart was getting heavier and heavier, making her unable to calm down for a moment, but she didn't know what happened.

Something must have happened to the Jia family, Concubine Yuan Gui was keenly aware of it.Concubine Liu Gui now controls the harem, but unfortunately she is under house arrest and has no news from outside the palace at all, so she is getting more and more impatient.

Today, when the guards were not paying attention, Yuan Chun left Fengzao Palace and ran directly towards the imperial study.At this time, the emperor should discuss matters in the imperial study. She must see the emperor and ask him why he treats her like this.Ask the emperor if Concubine Liu Gui is slandering her behind her back!As long as she sees the emperor, she will definitely find a way to win back the emperor's favor.When passing by the Royal Garden, I saw Concubine Liu Gui and a petite woman sitting in the gazebo talking from a distance.From a distance, only the slim figure of the woman can be seen, which seems somewhat familiar and yet more strange.The young woman who can appear in the imperial garden must be the concubine of the palace.Concubine Yuan Gui's mind suddenly became a little confused, and an inexplicable anger rose up. Could it be that the emperor left her in the cold just because of this woman.Looking at the smile on Concubine Liu Gui's face again, I can't stop thinking whether this woman has already been favored so much that Concubine Liu Gui will give her three points or this person is Concubine Liu Gui who brought her into the palace to compete with her ?The footsteps involuntarily gave up the route that originally wanted to avoid Concubine Liu Gui and walked straight over.

From a distance, the palace people guarding outside the gazebo saw the figure of Concubine Yuan Gui, and hurriedly reported to Concubine Liu Gui.Concubine Liu Gui frowned, but she didn't let anyone stop her, until Concubine Yuan Gui approached and said softly: "Sister Yuan Gui, the emperor ordered you to rest in Fengzao Palace, why did you come to the imperial garden?" The slightly alienated voice made Yuan Chun feel even more unhappy.In fact, Concubine Liu Gui has always been cold and aloof towards the concubines in the harem, she is usually used to it and doesn't feel that much, and she doesn't know why she can't bear it so much at this time.Yuan Chun stood up proudly, trying to make himself look as imposing as Concubine Liu Gui, and said, "What? Can't I come to the Imperial Garden to relax? Who is this younger sister? I don't think I've seen her before." The noble concubine frowned, and said in a puzzled way: "Sister Yuanfei, what nonsense are you talking about? This is Princess Yan. It stands to reason that my sister should have seen it before." Yuan Chun was stunned, and then he paid attention to it, and had already stood up from his seat. Who is it not Daiyu who gets up and salutes himself?

Thinking of Daiyu saving her face when she went back to visit her relatives last time, Yuan Chun's complexion was not good-looking, and he said lightly, "Why is sister Lin here?" The emperor was discussing matters, so Daiyu came to see the imperial concubine, and it turns out that the concubine Yuan is already safe, so please forgive me for not being able to see her in time." Daiyu said this, Yuan Chun couldn't say anything, so he snorted softly.Concubine Liu Gui said lightly: "Since sister Yuanfei is here, let's sit down and chat."

Yuan Chun said: "No need, I still have to go to the imperial study to see the emperor."

Concubine Liu Gui lowered her face in displeasure when she heard the words, and said: "My sister is messing around! Where is the imperial study room? How can concubines in the harem set foot here without the emperor's call?" Yuan Chun seemed to be unable to understand what Concubine Liu Gui meant, and was equally displeased. She said: "I want to see the emperor, and my son, why did Sister Liu stop you?" Concubine Liu Gui said: "The emperor is discussing matters in the imperial study, if my sister wants to see the emperor, it doesn't matter if the emperor is free in the afternoon. "

Concubine Yuan Gui couldn't listen, she just felt that Concubine Liu Gui didn't want her to see the emperor and deliberately blocked her, she glared at Concubine Liu Gui bitterly, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.Concubine Liu Gui raised her hand and touched the center of her eyebrows and said, "What's the matter with Concubine Yuan Gui? It's not like this that she doesn't know the rules normally." She quickly ordered the palace servants to stop her.The imperial study room is not within the confines of the harem, if Concubine Yuan Gui is allowed to run out and bump into some foreign officials, not only Concubine Yuan Gui will be unattractive, but even the reputation of concubines in the harem will be swept away.

Concubine Yuan Gui was stopped, and she was furious.They started arguing loudly in the imperial garden, and they looked a little frantic, not at all charming and tactful in the past.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Liu Gui was furious in her heart.It was also fortunate that Daiyu could be regarded as one of her own, if Concubine Yuan Gui was allowed to play wildly in front of the wives of foreign courtiers, it would not lose the face of the royal family.Taking a deep breath, Concubine Yuan Gui is still Daiyu's cousin after all, even if she is not there by blood, it is not easy to dispose of Concubine Yuan Gui in front of Daiyu, Concubine Liu Gui stepped forward and said: "Sister Yuan, the emperor is still dealing with political affairs now , you go with me to meet the little prince first." Yuan Chun's eyes frantic, he waved away Concubine Liu Gui's hand and shouted: "I don't want it! I want to see the emperor! It must be you...you are the one who forbids me. See Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu Gui had a rather cold temperament at first, she was not the persuasive temperament, let alone facing the concubines in the harem whom she had always disliked, she frowned and ordered: "Send Concubine Yuan Gui back to the palace. "

Daiyu stood watching from a distance, and felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Yuan Gui.Concubine Yuan Gui is a woman, and she lives in a deep palace with rich clothes and fine food, and now even several court ladies and eunuchs can't catch her.Just as she was thinking to herself, a figure in green clothes settled beside her, Daiyu raised her head and smiled in surprise, "Brother Huangfu, why are you here?" Huangfu Bingyan smiled and said, "The business is over, let's go back." Daiyu Taking a last look at Concubine Yuan Gui who had been restrained, she nodded and said, "Okay."
