Chapter Ninety-Four: Year

"Your Majesty, this is a new list from Neku. Han Xing presented the list, "There is also a list of the proposed rewards on the New Year's Festival, and I also ask Your Majesty to look at it." ”

Qi Zongwen first looked at the courtiers, in addition to meritorious deeds and princes, courtiers who do things to get the sacred heart in a year are likely to be rewarded by Tianqing Palace, and they are rewarded by Tianqing Palace, one is praise, the other is the direction of the wind, and you will reuse your meaning in the coming year. "The good king's New Year's gift is more than two percent, he is very fortunate to celebrate the New Year in Jiangnan this year, and the queen also let her reward the good princess. ”

"Yao Qizhi will return to Beijing next year to report on his work. Qi Zongwen said.

"Yes. I heard that Mrs. Yao had already returned to Beijing from the place first. Han Xing said, "Concubine Yao is honest, I haven't seen the old lady for so many years, and she gave birth to six princes this year, and she didn't say that she would invite the old lady to sit in the palace." ”

She is now scared, she just doesn't dare to think about it, and she orders her to enter the palace to get the queen's nod, where does Concubine Yao dare to ask the queen now. Qi Zongwen said, "That's it, tomorrow you pass on my will, ask the old lady to enter the palace to see Concubine Yao, and when she leaves the palace, I will reward her with a jade ruyi, and Yao Qizhi will stay in Beijing after reporting on his work, and he can be regarded as a capable and practical person." ”

"No wonder the concubine said that His Majesty is the most kind and soft-hearted person. Han Xing said. "Concubine Yao will definitely thank Your Majesty for her kindness when she knows it. ”

"Have you been to Ronghua Palace recently?" Qi Zongwen asked.

"Your Majesty has been busy recently, and he has never been out of Tianqing Palace, where will the small one go to Ronghua Palace. Han Xing said, "It's what the concubine said before." ”

"I haven't been to Ronghua Palace for three days, have I?" Qi Zongwen said, "The concubine didn't send anyone to ask?"

"Your Majesty's snacks these days are all sent by Ronghua Palace. Han Xing said, "Your Majesty knows Niangniang, and Niangniang will never bother Your Majesty when Your Majesty is busy with government affairs." ”

"After reading these lists, let's go to Ronghua Palace. Qi Zongwen said.

Qin Yunyi called the pot at night, and when Qi Zongwen came, she was eating Zhengxiang cross-legged, and when she saw His Majesty coming, she hurriedly got up and saluted, "Why didn't Your Majesty say hello in advance?"

"I originally wanted to have dinner with you, but by the end of the year, there were many excerpts, and I wanted to come back after reading that point, but before I knew it, it was too late. Qi Zongwen helped her up and said.

"Then Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet, right?" Qin Yunyi said, "Ask the Internal Catering Division to send some more food, what does Your Majesty want to eat?"

"Just eat a little bit of your food, I think there's quite a lot of stuff. Qi Zongwen said, and he and Qin Yunyi sat down on either side of the table. The pot was tumbling with milky white soup, with a few red wolfberries floating in it, and there was nothing else, the pot was surrounded by dishes all week, all raw, verdant vegetable leaves, red meat slices, white tofu, fried food, and noodles, Qi Zongwen looked at one of the black things and asked, "What is this?"

"Hairy belly. Qin Yunyi said, "It's delicious." ”

She transferred three bowls of dipping dishes to Qi Zongwen and placed them in front of him, "Your Majesty taste it." ”

"You don't eat a lot of serious meals, and you like to eat it in such a mess. Qi Zongwen said.

"In winter, it's cold, and the vegetables are cold when you eat them, so you don't have to worry about this when you eat the pot, you can eat as long as you want. Qin Yunyi said.

Qi Zongwen also ate a fresh meal, he needed rice, Han Xing had already asked the Internal Catering Division to send His Majesty's meal over, Qi Zongwen accompanied Qin Yunyi to finish the pot, and ate another bowl of rice to solve dinner.

When he was about to fall asleep, His Majesty used so much that he couldn't fall asleep in a hurry, Qin Yunyi asked people to move a set of indoor pounding pills to come in and play with His Majesty.

After playing for an hour, the back was slightly sweaty and then stopped, and they sat and soaked their feet, "The place is small and it's not fun." ”

"Tomorrow I will let people clean up a palace and change it to a hammer pill, like winter, rainy days, you want to play and have a place to have a pastime. Qi Zongwen said.

"I don't have to go through that much work. Qin Yunyi said, "I didn't play much." ”

"When you want to play, you have to be able to have fun. Qi Zongwen said.

"Since Your Majesty insists, there is no need to choose another place. Qin Yunyi said, "Only half of the Ganquan Palace was used in the back, and the other half was changed to pounding pills." ”

"Good. Qi Zongwen said, "If the people at the bottom are fast, you will be able to have fun there during the New Year." ”

"Hmm. Qin Yunyi nodded, "Your Majesty will also have a holiday at that time, so you can play with me." ”

"Okay, I'll be with you. Qi Zongwen said with a smile.

When he was busy before the New Year's Festival, His Majesty originally stayed in Tianqing Palace, and occasionally called a concubine to serve in the past, but this year it was suddenly changed to stay in Ronghua Palace.

Concubine Yao went to Ronghua Palace to thank her during His Majesty's absence for a day, "Thanks to Your Majesty, the concubine saw her mother who she hadn't seen for a long time, and she talked about it, and her heart was much better." ”

Qin Yunyi looked at her strangely, "You can go to thank Your Majesty for this matter, not to thank the palace." ”

"Your Majesty asked people to come and tell the concubine early that there was no need to thank her, but the concubine thought that His Majesty had given such a great favor, wouldn't it be too ignorant if the concubine didn't say anything. ”

"I'm going to bother my mother to tell the concubine for me. ”

After Concubine Yao left, Miao An came up with a strange expression, "Niangniang, Concubine Yao's strange come, it can't be any fraud." ”

"Yes, she is the most hardcore person of the queen, from the palace to the palace, when have you ever come to me alone?" Qin Yunyi shook his head and said, "It seems that she is really afraid of being in a hurry." ”

In the ice and snow, the forest garden is white, there is no scenery to look at, the concubine is wrapped in white hair, the best fur, without a trace of variegation, such a skin, all over the palace, except for the queen concubine, she got one.

She looked at the snow and sighed, which soon turned into a white mist and disappeared.

Concubine Li came over wrapped in half-worn fur, "The poor concubine is so interested, she still came out to enjoy the scenery on such a cold day." ”

"The whiteness here is the end of the sight. The concubine said, "The snow in my hometown is not visible at a glance, and when winter comes, when I see the whiteness of the eyes, I wonder when the winter will pass?"

"But now, before I can tell the difference between this snow and the snow in my hometown, winter is coming to an end. ”

"Every year, winter is coming, and there's plenty of time for you to tell the difference between snow and snow. Concubine Li said.

"Your Majesty is staying in Ronghua Palace. The concubine said with self-pity, "I originally thought that His Majesty would treat me differently, but in the end, there was still no difference." ”

"Your Majesty has been pampering the concubine for nearly ten years, and you have been in the palace for less than half a year, so you want to be like her in everything, how can it be so easy?"

"Aren't you in love with Your Majesty?" asked Concubine Li.

The concubine turned away from her.

"Look at what I said, all the women in this harem naturally love Your Majesty. Concubine Li said, "But love more and love less is learning, after all, there are so many women, Your Majesty has only one, and if you love more, you can only say that you are uncomfortable." ”

"I don't love Your Majesty. The concubine said, "If he can't love me with all his heart, why should I love him?"

"That's right. Concubine Li said, "You have been promoted to a concubine in a short period of time after entering the palace, and your majesty will not give you another promotion before you give birth to a child, you just need to grasp Your Majesty's heart during this time." ”

"After two years, three years, Your Majesty is the one who remembers the old love, and then it will be your chance. ”

"After two years, three years, will the concubine slowly fade in His Majesty's heart? Your Majesty remembers the old feelings, and the old feelings of the concubine are deeper than mine. The concubine said.

"It's the nature of men to like the new and hate the old, and in another two or three years, no matter how good-looking the immortals are, they will be tired of it, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to let go of it for a while, but gradually, if you don't see her, don't lie on the same bed with her, and you won't ask for her like now, do you say that the concubine will have a gap in her heart and resentment at that time?"

"Only if they leave their hearts, that's your chance. You speak slowly, pull slowly, and completely pull His Majesty's eccentricity. Concubine Li said, "You can have everything that the concubine has now." ”

The concubine looked into the distance.

"I treat the concubine like this, and one day, someone will treat me like this. ”

"The harem is like this, you come and go, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and every year I only hear the newcomers laughing, how can I ever hear the old people crying. ”

"Soft-hearted, you can't live in the harem. ”

Returning from Shanglin Garden, the palace people offered a decoction, "Drink it quickly, the concubine is so cold, go to Shanglin Yuan to take a turn, and the wind is cold." ”

"Pity concubine too, it's not easy to make an appointment somewhere, you have to make an appointment in Shanglin Yuan. ”

She was anxious, and she couldn't stay in the warm temple. Concubine Li smiled and said, "I also said that I don't love Your Majesty, if I don't love Your Majesty, I won't get carried away because of the successive favors, Your Majesty didn't go to Ronghua Palace to live for a few days, so he was flustered and short-hearted, and asked me out to discuss an idea." ”

"Her Majesty has stayed in Ronghua Palace for a whole month, and she hasn't seen it yet. ”

"Then what can I do? If she can't hold her breath now, Your Majesty will definitely be biased towards the concubine at this moment. The palace maid said worriedly.

"Just take a little loss. "She's still smart." ”

Jin Zhaoyi cut the wick on the candlestick, and when she heard that His Majesty was staying in Ronghua Palace, she didn't have any expression, "That's the case, I don't know when Your Majesty will come out of Ronghua Palace in the first month." ”

"In the past two months, His Majesty has only summoned Zhaoyi three times, if the New Year is still like this, what can I do?"

"Nothing. Jin Zhaoyi said, "Is the floor in the compartment frozen?"

"It's frozen. Cui Yu said, "For the sake of freezing the ground, but there is no charcoal fire at all, Zhaoyi should wear more." ”

"Wear more and make a good move. Jin Zhaoyi smiled and said, "You must hurry up and practice, otherwise you will be frozen in vain." ”

Cui Yu will no longer persuade her, in fact, Jin Zhaoyi and the concubine have many similarities, in order to compete for favor, they are both people who can be freed.

"The slave and maid saw it today, and the concubine went to Shanglin Yuan to see the concubine. Cui Yu thought about it again and again, she still said, she is the concubine's person, Zhaoyi always has a reservation with her, but she can't go back to the concubine, she always has to choose a loyalty between the two, and now, she has finally made a decision.

Jin Zhaoyi only paused slightly, and then walked out, "Yes, it seems that the master behind the concubine is my aunt." ”

"Leave her alone. ”

"However, it is possible to let Tian Guiren and Cao Zhaoyi know. ”

"The slave knows. ”
