Two days later, news came from the Imperial Tomb, and the aunt asked her to bring her and say, if I can find a way for her to meet me openly, then come again to discuss the matter I want her to stay by my side to help. Anyway, she is old, and she has been used to life in the palace for more than ten years, even if she leaves the palace, it is difficult to find a suitable person to marry.

Is it just to meet in the open? It's really not a big deal. I was relieved that if it was that simple, it wouldn't be difficult. As for meeting and discussing, don't worry too much. But anything that can be negotiated is not a matter, and it is the most difficult thing to do if the other party does not enter the oil and salt. As for what she said about meeting him openly, it should be to test my status in the palace and whether I can speak, which determines whether I have the ability to protect him in the palace.

There are no permanent friends or enemies in this world, and the prerequisites for determining interpersonal relationships are often to take into account their respective interests. It is the innate instinct of any animal to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even human beings cannot be detached, the stronger the ability, the more abundant the capital in hand, the more able to grasp the overall situation and have the initiative.

In the second year of Yongzheng, the ninth spring of the first month of March. Looking at history, as a large agricultural country that has always attached great importance to agricultural production, the beginning of spring is a very important day, and since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been an activity of sacrificing heaven and earth to pray for a good harvest on the day of the beginning of spring. After the Manchu people entered the customs, the ritual of "ploughing ceremony" in the Ming Dynasty was continued. Since the reign of the Qing dynasty, every year on the day of the beginning of spring, the emperor will go to the eastern suburbs to carry out the ritual of pro-farming. In the Kangxi period, Emperor Kangxi fixed the pro-farming as a law, and personally led the three princes and nine ministers and ministers to plough the land in the beginning of spring every year. Then, the emperor would take a short rest in the rest area set up in the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs and return to the palace, and then receive the minister's offerings and congratulations with the empress.

The whole process is not a secret, and it also gave me the opportunity to let this aunt enter the palace in the open.

The day after I got the reply, I got up early in the morning, personally cooked some purple potato cakes and crispy fried yogurt, and stewed refreshing fish ball soup and some seasonal vegetable side dishes, and put these into a food box and let Xu Fuduo send them to the Yangxin Palace, calculating that the time was just enough to catch up with Yinzhen's breakfast.

I haven't cooked for a long time, and at the beginning of entering the palace, Yinzhen would occasionally come over in person, and at that time, he always thought about taking care of his taste, and would make some side dishes he loved to eat. Later, he became busier and busier, and there were various reasons for the two to gradually drift apart, he came less, he was afraid of the rules of the palace, and he didn't want people to have the opportunity to take the food he made to make a trick, so he wouldn't do it casually for others, even Qian said a few times that I had made some small snacks before, I just smiled and asked the imperial dining room to make and eat, but I resolutely wouldn't do it myself.

This time I made a meal and sent it, in fact, it doesn't matter whether Yinzhen eats or not, there are only two purposes. First, let Xu Fuduo send a message to Su Peisheng, saying that someone outside the palace brought a letter to intercede, saying that there was a palace maid in front of the queen mother who had reached the age of leaving the palace, but he didn't want to leave the palace, hoping to return to the palace to find an errand, and hoped that he would help arrange the cultivation ceremony in the eastern suburbs on the day of the beginning of spring and let the emperor see her and say a word or two. Second, with Yinzhen's understanding of me, he should know that if I have nothing to ask for, he will definitely not take the initiative to bow his head and show goodwill. He might see me out of curiosity and ask me what I wanted to ask him for. In this way, I will be able to tell him personally what I want this palace maid to do.

As the saying goes, there are a number of human feelings, and the more you usually use them, the thinner they will become. On the contrary, people who rarely ask for help are often not easily rejected when they do. Yin Zhen is a person with his own principles, as long as he does not violate his bottom line of principles, according to my understanding of him, he should not refuse my rare request.

As for bringing people around, I don't plan to keep a low profile at all. Now that you have the certainty of convincing her to stay by your side, you have to think about how to give her safety. Let her leave an impression on Yinzhen's side, and then ask her to her side in a high-profile manner, there will be more people who will pay attention to her every move, and the person who wants to do it to her will also be restrained and have more concerns.

When Xu Fuduo came back from the Palace of Heart Cultivation, he brought back Su Peisheng's words, saying that he would find a way to arrange for Yinzhen to see her on the day of the beginning of spring, and as for whether she can return to the palace to serve as she wishes, it depends on her creation.

Su Peisheng is very cautious and prudent in doing things, no matter what he says, he will never agree to what he can't do, but as long as he can agree to do it, it is almost eighty cents, as long as he can respond to the summer like this, I am a lot more relieved, if there are really variables, it is not something that manpower can force.

At the beginning of the lanterns, there was still no news of the flop from the Yangxin Palace, only that he was still busy with the folding, and he was afraid that he would not be busy for a while, and it was estimated that he would not turn over the cards again today.

Hearing the news, my heart was somewhat uncomfortable. I thought of the days when I first entered the dive house, I thought of the situation when I got together less and left more but cherished each other, I thought of the flowers without a hundred days of redness, and I thought of the old age and decay. Thinking about it, my mood was also depressed to the extreme, I only felt that the charcoal fire in the house was too strong, and my heart was sullen and breathless.

The capital in March is warm and cold, and after nightfall, there is a wind swirling in the corridor, and the kind of whistling that is sometimes high and sometimes low is like a ghost whimpering imprisoned in the deep palace, making the silent palace bleak and cold.

The night outside the house is gradually sinking, and there is still no news from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the emotions in my heart have been forced down by hard work, but the warmth in the house has always lingered the irritability rising in my heart. Got up and stepped on the flat-soled cotton thick-soled embroidered shoes and walked out of the house, standing on the cloister looking at the cold moon in the sky, letting the cool breeze slowly cool the nameless fire in his heart, until he felt a little chill in his body, but he still didn't want to go back to the stuffy and panicked room like this.

"The moon is good today, warm a pot of osmanthus wine and bring it to the yard. I hugged the big one on my body and said to Xu Fuduo beside me, and walked to the stone bench in the courtyard by myself.

As soon as I was about to sit down, I heard the little palace maid Jinxiu who followed me say, "Master, the stone bench is cold, and the servant will bring you a mat." Seeing that I had no objection, he hurried back to the house, and in a short time brought a cushion and put it on the stone bench, and then retreated to the upwind, and blocked the wind that was blowing with his body.

This splendid is only eleven years old, the youngest of the five people left behind, and the shortest time to enter the palace. After Dongmei went to recuperate, I noticed the existence of this little girl, and somehow remembered Yunhui who died in my arms. When Yun Hui first arrived at her side, she would be the same age as this girl, and she couldn't help but be touched when she thought of this, so she arranged for her to serve by her side. I didn't expect her to be very old, she didn't talk much, but she was very careful in doing things, although many times she did inconspicuous things, but it always made people feel warm and comfortable.
