Chapter 84: Haunted
Feng Ling appeared in the main hall of Ruyi Palace with a kitten in his arms and a bag of buns. Mama Zhang and Hongmei saw that it was time for curfew, and the crown princess had not returned, so they were anxious to go around the room.
"Buns, it's still hot. Feng Ling appeared behind them, reaching out and handing out a cloth bag. The two of them were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Feng Ling: "Where did the crown princess go? ”
"Bai Yue hasn't eaten fish for a day, so I took her to Xinghualou for dinner. I also bought buns for you, so let's eat them. ”
Mama Zhang took the steamed buns, hesitated for a moment and said, "There are so many steamed buns, let's share them with the people outside, they haven't eaten for a day." "Mama Zhang wants to be hungry like this again, and everyone in the Ruyi Palace will run out.
Feng Ling reminded Mama Zhang and said: "Some people are the eyeliner of the other palace......"
Hongmei said: "Give them food kindly, and tomorrow the queen will come to the door to find trouble." ”
Mama Zhang and Hongmei silently went down to eat a few steamed buns. The two looked at the rest of the buns, not knowing what to do with them. It's hot, and it's going to break down tomorrow.
Hongmei thought about it, then carried the bag, jumped to the palace wall of the outer hall of Ruyi Palace, and with a wave of her hand, threw the bag containing the bag on a eunuch guarding the door.
The little eunuch who was napping was drooling and dreaming of eating. He was awakened by the throwing thing, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Who, who ......"
Seeing that there was no one around, he looked at a bag on the ground, picked it up and opened it, and there was a bag of hot buns. He thought he was still dreaming, so he slapped himself, and a pain came from the left side of his face telling him that he was not dreaming, but really picking up a bag of buns. He looked around at no one, and then said to himself, "The world has dropped buns?"
After he silently ate a few steamed buns, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could the buns fall from the sky? He hurriedly took the rest of the bun and quietly entered the eunuch's residence. He shook a few sleeping eunuchs awake: "Get up and eat steamed buns." ”
A few eunuchs who were so hungry that they were dreaming about looking for food woke up at once. "Buns, where did they come from. ”
"Shhhhhh The eunuch guarding the door handed over the bag with the rest of the buns.
A few eunuchs hurriedly grabbed it, and you and I hurriedly sent it to the mouth. They ate all the buns in a few clicks before they asked softly, "Where did the buns come from in the middle of the night?"
The eunuch guarding the door said, "I was napping against the door, and a bag of buns woke me up. Think about it, the live chicken that the imperial chef lost some time ago ......"
"Ah, the buns sent by the ghost, you give us back to eat. One of the eunuchs said in a panic as he touched his belly.
"Hmph, it's better than starving to death and being a starving ghost. ”
After dawn, the eunuchs of Ruyi Palace quietly spread that there may be ghosts in Ruyi Palace, and later it became that there were ghosts in the palace.
A few eunuchs from the Ruyi Palace who went to get breakfast early were treated coldly by the people in the imperial dining room, and only after all the palaces were finished taking the breakfast did they give them the breakfast.
They brought it back and opened it, and sure enough, the water in the porridge was water, the rice grains were grains of rice, the steamed buns were half-cooked, and the side dishes were all vegetable sticks.
People can't, no matter how bad it is, they have to eat, otherwise they won't be able to work.
A eunuch quietly scolded while eating: "It's not as good as the ghost is kind, the bun given by the ghost is big and fresh, and ......the filling is big and fresh."
The other glared at him, "Do you want to die?"
The palace people of Ruyi Palace were depressed and listless. They don't know when this treatment will end.
Feng Ling stood on the steps of the main hall, and she asked Hongmei to call all the palace people of Ruyi Palace. After a while, more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs stood neatly in front of Feng Ling.
Feng Ling walked back and forth a few steps with her hands behind her back, and she said to the palace people below: "The queen asked the imperial dining room not to give food to the Ruyi Palace, I'm afraid you will be hungry after a long time." Concubine Ben only came to live in the palace for a few days, and she didn't need so many people. Go back to where you came from. ”
When the palace people heard this, they all seemed to come to life. It's the master who doesn't want them, but it's not that they want to go. Feng Ling waved his hand: "Go, go, go, hurry up." ”
More than a dozen people stepped forward one by one to kneel to Feng Ling, kowtowed, turned around and went to the room to get their own things, and then left the Ruyi Palace.
After the entire Ruyi Palace left, there were only six or seven people left, in addition to the three Fengling master and servant, there were also eunuch Xiao Hezi, the little eunuch who guarded the door last night, and another palace maid and a mother-in-law.
Feng Ling asked, "Why don't you leave?" aren't you afraid of starving to death in Ruyi Palace?"
Xiao Hezi saluted and said, "The slave is on duty in the Ruyi Palace." ”
The little eunuch who guarded the door saluted and said, "There is little to do here, and it is okay to eat less." ”
The palace maid stepped forward and saluted and said, "The slave maid was called by the concubine to serve the crown princess, and she can't leave even if she starves to death." ”
Feng Ling looked at her mother-in-law: "What about you?"
The mother-in-law saluted and said, "The slaves are working wherever they are, and other palace masters are not easy to get along with." The princess is good, and the slave is willing to do some rough work here. ”
"What's your name?"
The little eunuch guarding the door said, "Slave Xiao Fengzi." ”
The palace maid said, "Slave and maid stream." ”
The mother-in-law said: "The old slave Wu family." ”
"Hongmei, give each of them ten taels of silver. After that, they were given ten taels of silver every month. Feng Ling turned around and entered the room.
A few men took the money and stayed where it was. Xiao Fengzi feels like a bun falling from the sky again.
At the invitation of the empress, the emperor came to the Kunning Palace to discuss the August 15th Festival. The queen was full of interest and showed the emperor the arrangements for the 15th of August.
The emperor said lightly: "The front is still fighting, before the victory, take all the festivals." ”
The queen said disappointedly: "The concubine obeys the order." She wanted to take advantage of the grand appearance on August 15 to accept the bows of everyone and show that her status was the same as before.
Chen Yu stepped forward and reported to him: "Niangniang, the female official Chen of the Shanggong Bureau came to report, and the Ruyi Palace put all the palace people back to the Shanggong Bureau." ”
The queen stared at Chen Yu fiercely, wanting to go down and slap her twice. Is this the time to go back and forth?
The emperor glanced at the queen and remembered what the concubine said yesterday, he said coldly: "The queen treats the princess as she treats the princess, and she should treat the princess equally." If you can't do it, hand over the power of the six houses. ”
After speaking, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and strode out of Kunning Palace.
The queen couldn't wait to tear Chen Yu apart, she gritted her teeth and said, "You heartless, do you believe that this palace will let people kill you with a cane!"
Chen Yu knelt down: "The queen spares her life, the slave maid just heard that there are ghosts in the palace, and she was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and she came to report without thinking about it." She kowtowed and confessed.
The queen smiled angrily: "Where is the ghost? ”
Chen Yu hurriedly said: "It's spread all over the palace. ”
The queen raised her voice and said, "Come on, pull this out of the cane......"
"Queen Mother, rest your anger. King Shun hurriedly walked in.
He glanced at Chen Yu: "Get out." ”
Chen Yu crawled out of Kunning Palace with a roll.
King Shun saluted the queen and persuaded: "Queen Mother, you must keep a low profile at this time. If there is anything, you have to wait until that is done before you do it. ”
The queen took a few deep breaths: "This is getting more and more uncomfortable to use, forget about it." ”
King Shun said helplessly: "When the matter is done, you can kill whoever you want." The princess's affairs have all been heard outside the palace, and the queen mother, there is no need to be clear about cleaning up, which has attracted a lot of criticism. ”
"She has a night pearl and doesn't give it to the palace, but would rather give it to a child. ”
"That little boy is your grandson, the queen mother. ”
"Humph!"
King Shun assured her: "In the future, if you take the throne, all the night pearls you get will go to the queen mother." ”
When the queen heard this, her face was much better. When King Shun saw that she was in a better mood, he said: "Queen Mother, don't touch Chen Yu for the time being, she is the son of the Huang family, you will kill her with a rod, who dares to be loyal to you again? The queen reluctantly nodded in agreement.
When King Shun left the palace, his heart was heavy, there were too many people holding him back, and the road to success was too difficult.
