The imperial study room is brightly lit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The emperor had dinner and continued to deal with official business, and the recent reduction in tea production, the construction of the Weishui embankment and other major events made him work again.

Not enough, he doesn't know if it's a coincidence or not, the tea production has just been reduced, and there is a newly opened Yuze shop in the capital, which began to sell tea, and the whole city is so unique, each time it sells not much, and it is not particularly expensive, but it can't bear the large quantity, and the profit is obviously considerable.

Now the businessmen in the capital talk the most about this Yuze business, and discuss who is the shopkeeper behind this business.

However, these are still trivial matters after all, and the emperor is more worried about Weishui's promotion. After King Ning received the will, he began to prepare for the construction of the embankment, and the emperor just wanted to give him a small punishment and make him bow his head and beg for himself.

Where did I think, looking at his recent excerpts, it seems that 100,000 taels of silver is enough. The emperor thought to himself, tomorrow he still has to call King Ning into the palace.

The construction of the embankment is not a face-saving matter, if the embankment does not last for a few years and is washed away, then it is the people who suffer. You can't fill up with bad materials just because he can't wipe his face.

The queen is grinding by the emperor's side, she is a country, she has some power to participate in politics, and she is also the only woman in this deep palace who can accompany the emperor in the imperial study. With the emperor's wedding for decades, she naturally understands the emperor's thoughts, first of all, she has the prince in her hands, and if she wants to hold the king of Chu, she must take two more points of effort to succeed.

Wu Wan'er's girl, knowing that she was going to mention to the emperor today that she was going to ask the king of Chu to withdraw from Yuan Xiuyu's marriage, she must be still waiting for her good news in the palace at the moment.

The night wind was a little cold, the emperor coughed lightly twice, the queen hurriedly gave the chief manager a look, the chief manager understood, sent a coat, the queen gently put on for the emperor, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, you should rest early." ”

The emperor slowly put down his pen, thinking that it was really not early, so he said to the queen: "In this case, the queen will also return to the palace." ”

The queen answered, but there was a hint of hesitation on her face.

The emperor was puzzled, leaning back in the chair, although he was old, his research was still sharp. If you look closely, you will find that his eyes are full of ice that cannot be dissolved.

"Does the queen have anything to say to me?" The emperor asked.

The queen walked to the case, saluted the emperor, bowed her head and said, "The concubine does have something, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me, I listen. ”

The queen raised her head and spoke earnestly: "The concubine wants to ask, what does the emperor want to do with the matter of the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

The emperor glanced at the queen, and then looked at the fold on top, and he already knew two points in his heart. Since Yuan Jinyu's accident, the ministers of the court began to fold, saying that such a woman who insulted the style of the door should be executed, and even the prime minister begged him to leave Yuan Jinyu a way to live, and let Yuan Jinyu go to the Qingdeng Ancient Temple.

And today, those ministers actually signed a joint letter. Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything for a long time, this time they took a step back and only said that they would punish Yuan Jinyu, and did not mention the execution of her.

"I haven't figured it out yet." The emperor opened his mouth lightly, looked at the queen under the lamp, and felt that this woman who had accompanied him for decades was a little strange.

The queen glanced up at the emperor, and immediately lowered her head, looking sad but unable to speak: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that if something like this happens, she shouldn't be so harsh on a woman, but that woman is not an ordinary person, but a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and keeping her will not be good for the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion." The most important thing is that the concubine feels that no matter what Miss Jinyu is, the Heavenly Family should no longer marry the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Seeing that the emperor was silent, the queen knelt down directly, and her body was eager to crawl to the ground, and her words were very painful: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion again, you will lose the face of the Heavenly Family!" Even though the emperor wants to punish the concubines, the concubines still want to say, please think twice! Taking advantage of the fact that he has not yet married the Prime Minister's Mansion, the emperor decreed that the marriage was canceled! ”

The emperor looked at the queen, his eyes were still deep, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he spoke in a normal tone: "But if you do this, the reputation of the two daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be completely ruined." ”

The queen added oil and vinegar on the side: "The concubine also heard that when she was in the Tang Mansion in Shandong, that Yuan Xiuyu was removed from the Tang Mansion because of her improper mental skills, what qualifications does such a woman have to enter the door of the heavenly family?" ”

The queen is the mother of a country, if she doesn't look down on any woman, she can also prevent their marriage, but this time Yuan Xiuyu and the king of Chu are married by the emperor, she can't make a decree to stop it, she can only ask the emperor.

Shen Guifei has already pushed Yuan Jinyu to the cusp, and has also found so many ministers in the court to jointly write a letter, the queen really can't figure it out, how can the emperor still protect Yuan Jinyu.

The emperor sighed, helped the queen up from the ground, and finally seemed to have made up his mind: "I know this matter, you go back to the dormitory first, I will make an order tomorrow." ”

The queen was happy in her eyes, thanked the emperor vigorously, and then left with red circles in her eyes.

She can't wait to tell Wu Wan'er the good news now, Yuan Xiuyu can't marry the king of Chu, and Wan'er will be the only princess of the king of Chu in the future!

The queen can laugh as she walks. sent someone to send a message to Shen Guifei, saying that after the matter was completed, Shen Guifei was also very happy, but she asked someone to inquire about it, and said that the emperor had turned over Yuan Xiuyi's brand.

That Yuan Xiuyi is a person who came out of the Prime Minister's mansion, and it is inevitable that he will speak for Yuan Jinyu. Shen Guifei was a little uneasy in her heart, but thinking that the news from the queen was always right, she forced herself to be at ease.

The emperor had already had dinner, so he just tasted tea here at Yuan Xiuyi.

"Over the years, Aifei's skills in making tea are getting better and better."

When Yuan Xiuyi handed the tea cup to the emperor, he also smiled and said to the emperor: "Speaking of the craft of making tea, the emperor has the opportunity to taste the tea of my Jinyu niece, which is simply fragrant." ”

Yuan Xiuyi praised Yuan Jinyu, and naturally led the topic to Yuan Jinyu.

The emperor looked at Yuan Xiuyi, and he didn't beat around the bush, just took a sip of tea and said: "Even if the tea she makes is delicious, I am used to drinking your tea, and I still like you more." ”

Yuan Xiuyi couldn't help but blush, and looked at the emperor shyly. She grew up in an environment where she couldn't get in touch with any men, and later entered the palace after the ceremony, and when she saw the handsome and talented emperor, she put her heart here with him.

However, many years of husband and wife have passed, her enthusiasm, those admiration, have also been consumed by this deep palace, the emperor has no heart, he will not stay for any woman, Yuan Xiuyi and Yuan Jinyu talked a few times, the most impressive thing is that Yuan Jinyu persuaded himself that when a man is good to himself, he should cherish it more, and it is always right to get more benefits.

It's not that she's greedy for vanity, but that women also have too many things to help themselves. In this deep palace where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones, she not only has to protect herself, but also the family behind her, and the child in her arms.

So these elderly palace concubines, which one doesn't hope to get more benefits from the emperor.

Yuan Xiuyi is no exception. At this moment, her gentle appearance seemed to her as if she had put on a mask.

"Your Majesty, you are really, making such fun of the concubines." She added another coquettishly, and then lowered her head, not daring to look at the emperor.

"I've been worried about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion lately." The emperor turned the topic to Yuan Jinyu and asked Yuan Xiuyi: "The young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion also entered the palace to see you, what do you think, what should I do?" ”

When Yuan Xiuyi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, not because he was afraid, but because he felt that Yuan Jinyu was really like a god.

She told herself at the beginning that after the emperor met the queen, he would definitely turn over his own brand, and even now she can guess what the emperor will say.

Yuan Xiuyi put away the sense of surprise in his heart, and according to Yuan Jinyu's instructions, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well guess, what did Jinyu say to his concubines when he entered the palace?" ”

The emperor showed a deferential expression.

Yuan Xiuyi continued: "Jinyu is almost all about King Ning's bravery, and her merits are only brought in a few words. Jinyu's matter is not the government, so the concubine dared to say a few more words, this time, the concubine thought that Jinyu should not be punished. ”

This is also what Yuan Jinyu taught her, and now the queen and Shen Guifei, and maybe some other people, all wish that she would be executed by the emperor, so she wants to come against them.

Beg? I can't, what I have to do is to ask the emperor to reward myself!

The emperor was obviously stunned, even the prime minister begged for the life of Rao Yuan Jinyu, and now Yuan Xiuyi actually said that he wanted to reward her? What is the truth of this?

"Interesting, if you keep talking, maybe I'll really change my mind after listening to you." The emperor put down the teacup and looked at Yuan Xiuyi with his eyes.

Yuan Xiuyi's gaze dodged for a moment, then looked at his hand again, and then plucked up his courage and looked directly at the emperor.

This is also taught by Yuan Jinyu, she said that at this moment, Yuan Xiuyi must show momentum, that is, to tell the emperor, the daughter of my prime minister's mansion, should not be punished!

In fact, Yuan Jinyu wanted to say these words by herself, but she didn't have much chance to face the saint, and in front of the emperor, it was still a little weird to mention the words of letting the emperor reward herself, so she could only say these words through Yuan Xiuyi's mouth.

"Your Majesty, first, Jinyu is just a woman, can have such courage and strategy, shouldn't she be awarded? Second, King Ning did not spend a single soldier this time, he wiped out all the thieves in the cottage, Jinyu contributed a lot to it, if she didn't delay the time, then now the Weishui embankment was saved, but the Jinglin Mountains were burned, Jinyu and His Royal Highness King Ning must not be able to get out of the forest; ”
