In the imperial study, the incense of agarwood is rising.

There are only two people in the palace, the emperor and the chief attendant, but the atmosphere is dignified, Concubine Li lifted her feet and entered, and couldn't help but be urged by the oppressive atmosphere of the room to beat her heart, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said cautiously as her steps approached the emperor's table: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

The emperor's eyes looked at Concubine Li, as if he wanted to stare her through, "The show book sent by the Internal Affairs Office, have you seen it?"

Hearing that the emperor talked about this, Concubine Li's heart was slightly relieved.

Since her mother didn't plan to let Yingxiu enter the palace draft, she naturally wouldn't report the name of the show, and there were no female dependents in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

The emperor's anger has nothing to do with the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.

With a sigh of relief, Concubine Li evened out her breath, "Not yet, I sent it over early this morning, and the concubine was about to see it, and she was summoned by His Majesty, so she hurriedly threw away her hand." ”

"See for yourself!" Concubine Li said, and the emperor picked up the show book from the table and threw it in front of her.

Where Concubine Li stood, there was a distance of two tables from the emperor, and because of the emperor's exertion, the big red show book was thrown out of a straight line and went straight to Concubine Li's lower abdomen.

However, in the blink of an eye, before Concubine Li could react, there was a sudden pain in her lower abdomen, accompanied by the sound of the show book "popping", Concubine Li bent down to pick it up, and held back the tears that had just swelled up in her eyes.

Flipping through the show book with his bare hands, he opened the show book, looked at the mansion with a line of names, and saw nothing unusual, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, but which show girl sent by the family is not in accordance with the rules?"

The emperor's snake-like gaze swept over her face, and she snorted coldly, "Look at the last page!"

Concubine Li hurriedly turned to the last page, and only the names of the four show girls sent by the mansion were written on the last page, among which the first one was the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, which was so shocked that Concubine Li's hand holding the show book couldn't help shaking, and the blood on her face faded suddenly.

's mother said that she would not let Yingxiu enter the palace to run...... How the name was written!

gasped and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the concubine's little sister has already married Master Tao Ye Tao, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, how could the Marquis of Weiyuan send her to the draft?"

But there was lightning in his mind, and he thought of what Concubine Qi said that day, "Someone framed the concubine and the Marquis of Weiyuan!"

Could this be Concubine Hui's means?

Let Tao Ye propose marriage first, and let the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion take care of the family business, and once Yingxiu appears in the draft, he is suspected of unilaterally regretting his marriage without permission, so as to provoke His Majesty's disgust?

But how can Concubine Hui be sure that the Marquis of Weiyuan will definitely regret her marriage and send Yingxiu?

If the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion does not regret the marriage, wouldn't Concubine Hui's calculation be in vain?

Thousands of turns in her mind, between the flashes of light, Concubine Li shook her head in her heart, no, with Hui Guifei's means, her plan will never be this.

There was a great fear in my heart.

The business at home has always been stable, why did the family business have an accident at the time of the draft? Is this an accident or a man-made, my mother said, in recent days, someone in Tianjin Wei secretly investigated the business of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, that person, but Hui Guifei sent it?

The overwhelming fear, like a tide, rolled up one tide after another, kneeling on the ground, Concubine Li trembled.

When the emperor saw her like this, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and his tone was not as cold as at first, "You really don't know?"

Concubine Li covered her thoughts, shook her head, her face was white, trembling like winged eyelashes, "The concubine really doesn't know, a few days ago, Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis also entered the palace and said to the concubine that there was a happy event in the family, and Lord Shangshu Tao of the Criminal Department entrusted the princess of Pingxi Wangfu to personally come to the house and ask to marry the concubine and sister. ”

"Your Majesty also knows that the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion is a merchant, in addition to the blessings of the concubines, who can serve His Majesty, the two sisters of the concubines are not very good to marry, and now a sister of the concubine can marry a dignified Jingguan, which is not great news for the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion!"

"How could the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion ruin the marriage contract with Lord Tao and send my sister to the palace for the draft! Your Majesty, someone really wants to frame the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion. ”

With the words of justification, Concubine Li suddenly felt that it was a wise move not to let Yingxiu enter the palace to participate in the election.

But this unsuccessful thing was due to the sudden business problems in the house, which made Concubine Li uneasy.

The palm of the hand holding the silk handkerchief was wrapped in a layer of dense sweat, slippery.

Concubine Li's words were sincere, and she was indeed reasonable, looking at her trembling appearance, not like lying, the emperor's attitude eased a little, "You get up and speak." ”

When Concubine Li heard this, she was half relieved in one breath, got up tremblingly, and shook a golden step on her head, swaying back and forth.

The emperor's originally relaxed complexion changed greatly when he saw the golden step of the peony flower on her head at a glance!

Concubine Li saw that the emperor's face was gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and only then did she let go of her half breath, and she was hanging high again, and her calves, which were already weak, were even weaker.

The breath is like a gossamer, his face is pale, and even the originally ruddy lips are a little gray, "Your Majesty ......"

Like an eagle's eyes narrowed, two blade-like lights burst out, "Where did this step on your head come from?"

When Concubine Li heard this, she couldn't help but wonder.

Isn't she talking about the show, why did the emperor become interested in her step again!

The emperor is angry for this step? But how can an ordinary peony flower head shake so much that His Majesty's face is so gloomy.

Could it be because Gu Zhen led the army to attack Canglan, and when His Majesty felt that the treasury was tight, she still had spare silver to make another move, and felt that she was enjoying extravagance?

Thinking about it like this, he hurriedly said: "It was Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis who entered the palace a few days ago and gave it to the concubine, and it is not a new one, but it is just a destruction of the previous two old steps and a renovation." ”

The emperor's eyes were tumbling with dark waves, "This peony flower head, is it the pattern you specified or the new style of the Golden Building?"

One step shakes, but the emperor asked so carefully with such a complexion.

No matter how big Concubine Li's heart is, she also knows that there must be something wrong with this step, so she is busy cheering up the spirit of 120,000 points, and carefully replying, "It should be the new style of Jinlou this year, before the concubine didn't know that Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis wanted to send the concubine to step shake, and Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis has always not loved these gold ornaments, and she doesn't know anything about patterns." ”

"What is the Golden Building, what is it called?" Concubine Li's explanation was reasonable, but the emperor's face did not ease at all!

Concubine Li had to suppress her heart and pull the step shake off her head, "The gold ornaments of the Golden Mansion will be engraved with their own names." While speaking, he went to look at the step, and by the sunlight that came through the big window, he said, "Fengchai Building." ”

Fengchai Building, the largest gold building in Kyoto, basically rarely does the business of ordinary people, among which the customers are all the ladies of the powerful families in Beijing, and there is no shortage of nobles in the palace.
