Chapter 69
The moon stars are scarce, and the night is as cool as water. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that the time has passed, the West Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Hall is still brightly lit.
Qianlong, who was supposed to have returned to the dormitory to favor the perfect person and sleep in the gentle township, did not rush back to the dormitory to be fortunate Li Changzai and Song agreed at all, but kept Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng in the Xinuan Pavilion to discuss matters, and did not mean to let them out of the palace until late at night.
Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng were full of doubts and uneasiness in their hearts, and they really couldn't understand what Qianlong's intentions were when he acted like this.
Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng were Qianlong's confidants and favored ministers in their previous lives, and they won Qianlong's trust and reuse. Liu Tongxun has passed the age of not being confused, and Fu Heng is in the best youth of his life, although the age difference between the two is more than 20 years, they both have a good impression of each other.
Although Qianlong is now extremely disgusted with Empress Fucha Ningxiu, he has a very good impression of Fu Heng, who had outstanding military exploits in his previous life. Because of the memory of Fu Heng's exploits in his previous life, after Qianlong was reborn, he promoted Fu Heng to the right attendant of the household department in advance, and walked in the military aircraft department, and planned to entrust him with important tasks and reuse Fu Heng in the future.
For Liu Tongxun, Qianlong has always praised him. In his previous life, Qianlong weighed the pros and cons, and promoted Hanchen Liu Tongxun to the first assistant of the cabinet, and promoted the Manchu minister Yin Jishan to the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department. However, after being reborn in the first life, Qianlong was much indifferent to the difference between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty in his heart, and cherished Liu Tongxun's character and talent, and after several plans and transfers and promotions, Liu Tongxun had been promoted to the rank of Dongge University Scholar and Minister of Military Aircraft in advance half a month ago.
In his previous life, Liu Tongxun was promoted to the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department less than three years before he died of illness due to old age. Since he was reborn by chance, Qianlong was naturally reluctant to let this capable official who was deeply favored by him always be inferior to Manchen in his career because of his status as Hanchen.
Since he admired Liu Tongxun very much for his honesty and integrity, his lack of friendship, his outstanding ability, and his ability to do errands, he should reuse him as soon as possible, so that he could give full play to his talents and do more practical things for the Qing Dynasty.
Here, Qianlong took Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng to discuss late at night, but Wu Shulai saw the door a little at this time.
The emperor had obviously turned over the green card promised by Li Changzai and Song, but he refused to return to the dormitory to rest, and even ignored the rules of the palace, deliberately left Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng in the palace to discuss matters until late at night, and now it seems that he even has the idea of talking with the two henchmen and ministers all night and discussing politics all night.
Wu Shulai lowered his head and pondered for a while, then saw the opportunity to step forward and ask Qianlong, "The emperor and the two adults have worked hard, but do you need a servant to go and order the imperial dining room to prepare some refreshments for the emperor and the two adults as a supper?" ”
Qianlong glanced at Wu Shulai appreciatively, nodded and said: "You think very thoughtfully, order the imperial dining room to prepare more and present it, the two Aiqing must be hungry, wait for me to have some supper together, and then I will continue to study the water control strategy with you." ”
Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng hurriedly bowed down to thank him, but they couldn't help but think in their hearts: It seems that the emperor has made up his mind to keep them in the Heart Cultivation Hall to discuss state affairs all night.
At the same time, the two couldn't help but secretly wonder, although it is said that water control is indeed related to the well-being of the people, although it is a major matter of the country, but now there is no flood in any area in the Qing Dynasty, this matter is ...... It doesn't seem to be that in such a hurry! Why didn't the emperor sleep and discuss the matter with the two of them all night?
However, Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng naturally didn't dare to declare the doubts in their hearts, so they could only accompany Qianlong with some refreshments after Wu Shulai presented a sumptuous supper.
The various delicate dots made in the palace dining room are naturally exquisite and chic, and the color and taste are good. Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng didn't like sweets, so they each pinched up a piece of bamboo-shaped dim sum and put it in their mouths, only to find that this dim sum not only tasted light, but even really had a fragrance of bamboo in the fragrance.
And Qianlong was holding a white rabbit-shaped dim sum in his hand at this time, and the strange thing was that Qianlong not only did not have the idea of eating this dim sum, but silently looked at the dim sum with a smile.
I don't know what Qianlong thought of in his heart, a smile gradually flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, and then a rin put the dim sum in his hand back on the plate with some annoyance, and clenched his fist fiercely, only then did he reluctantly press back to the bottom of his heart the thoughts of the little woman that were surging like a tide in Shicai's heart.
Qianlong stared at this vividly made white rabbit-shaped snack, his eyes were sharp, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.
What's wrong with you? This is just a piece of dim sum made by the ordinary imperial dining room, and it is not a few fine snacks that Xiao Yan likes to eat, why did he just think that the cute appearance of the white rabbit dim sum with red eyes in front of him is very similar to that little girl who is tired of being coquettish in his arms?
Qianlong frowned, picked up another piece of dim sum casually, took a bite absentmindedly, and then sank his face again.
Qianlong was stunned and looked at the pea yellow in his hand, and remembered that pea yellow was also one of Xiao Yan's favorite snacks on weekdays, and he couldn't help but feel a little astringent and depressed in his heart.
I still remember that he also had a tender and sweet time with the little girl, at that time, he once bit the soft and fragile pea yellow in his mouth, personally fed it to her mouth, and then in her delicate struggle, he carefully kissed her honey lips stained with dim sum crumbs inch by inch, only to feel that the pink lips are far more delicious than the delicate dim sum from the hands of the imperial chef.
Thinking about it, Qianlong actually felt that his body was a little hot, and under the surging desire in his heart, he almost reacted.
Qianlong's face suddenly darkened.
Qianlong barely suppressed his desire to go to Chuxiu Palace to visit Xiao Yan, but thinking of the two women in the dormitory, Qianlong felt a lack of interest. Therefore, Qianlong thought about it and still decided to continue to discuss national affairs with Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng in the Yangxin Palace, and secretly thought in his heart: The reason why he missed that little girl so much must be because he was not busy enough. As long as you concentrate on state affairs and politics, you won't think of that woman from time to time......
So, that night, there were four people in the Heart Cultivation Hall who were tragic.
Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng were inexplicably left in the palace by the emperor to discuss matters, and they stayed awake all night because Qianlong was full of interest. Chang Li Fuya and promised Song Minyu were hung in the palace by the emperor, and they waited all night, and they never saw the emperor.
In the early morning of the next day, just after Yinshi, a palace maid came to ask Li Changzai and Song to agree to get up and change clothes.
Although Li Fuya and Song Minyu were turned over by Qianlong, and the two of them also lay on the dragon bed all night, they were not favored by the emperor, and they never even saw the emperor's face, so they were naturally very aggrieved.
Li Fuya has some scheming in the end, even if she is unhappy in her heart, she does not show it on her face at all, and she still looks humble and humble on weekdays.
In contrast, Song Minyu's temper was a little irritable, and she pursed her lips in displeasure at this time, and couldn't help but ask the palace maid in front of the palace: "Do you know which palace concubine the emperor was invited by last night?" Otherwise, how could the emperor obviously turn over our brand and ignore us? ”
The palace maid who can follow Qianlong on an errand, even if she is not Qianlong's cronies, is at least a person with sharp hands and feet and a tight mouth.
At this time, the two palace maids in front of the palace were very disdainful when they saw that Song promised to ask such a thing, but they did not contradict Song promise without distinction on their faces, but explained in a regular manner: "Song promised to misunderstand, last night, no other ladies came to the Heart Cultivation Palace to ask to see the emperor." As for where the emperor was last night, the slave and maid had nothing to say. Watching the emperor's trails is a big crime. The slave is as timid as a mouse, but she doesn't dare to do such a disrespectful thing to the emperor! ”
Song Minyu was speechless, and she was also shocked in her heart, she was a little scared, but she was still a little unconvinced in the depths of her heart, but she changed the smile on her face to a very well-behaved and harmless smile, but she was still very curious about what Qianlong was busy with tonight? Why did you turn over the signs of the two of them but didn't order them to sleep?
At this time, Wu Shulai was also serving Qianlong to change into the dragon robe he wore when he was in the last dynasty.
Wu Shulai saw that Qianlong's face was still peaceful, so he chose an opportunity and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, although Li Changzai and Song promised last night that the brand was turned over, he did not sleep for the emperor. Regarding the records in the history of Jing Shi Fang Tong, as well as the arrangements for these two little masters, please also ask Long Live Lord to show it. ”
Qianlong frowned slightly, thought for a moment, glanced at Wu Shulai lightly, and ordered: "Honor the affairs room, but if you are promoted, you don't need to." You wait a while and then go and knock Li Changzai and Song agreed, telling the two of them that if they want to live long in the harem, they must clearly understand what to say and what not to say. If I hear half a gossip in the palace in the future, then neither of them will have to live. ”
Wu Shulai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly nodded his promise, and after waiting for Qianlong to put on the dragon robe, he rushed to beat Li Changzai and Song agreed.
Regarding Qianlong's arrangement, although Li Fuya and Song Minyu couldn't understand Qianlong's intentions, they were really slightly relieved in their hearts, and repeatedly assured Wu Shulai, saying that they would definitely obey the emperor's will and would never say half a word.
Li Fuya and Song Minyu knew that if the two of them were turned over by the emperor, but they were disliked by the emperor and failed to sleep for the emperor, they would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone in the harem after tea and dinner. In the future, the two of them will not be able to raise their heads in the harem, and their lives will even be even more miserable because of the emperor's disgust with the two of them.
And Qianlong's current arrangement has helped the two of them solve the biggest problem in their hearts, as for the truth of the facts, the two women are happy, and they don't care much.
Really? What about the fake? In this palace, only the emperor's golden words can be regarded as the truth that can convince everyone in the palace!
Just like a few years ago, the emperor also favored a few beautiful palace maids, but he thought they didn't serve well, so he didn't order the secretary to keep a file and didn't give them the corresponding position.
Therefore, the days of those palace maids in the palace became more and more sad, and after less than half a year, they were randomly disposed of by the queen. And these few lives died unjustly in the harem, but they didn't even get half of the emperor's attention, as if a fine dust fell into the water, and a ripple disappeared without causing it.
And although the two of them have not really slept for the emperor now, the emperor ordered the worship room to be recorded directly in the history of Tong. In this way, even if they have not served in bed, it is as if they have already served the emperor. There is only one pity, that is, the emperor has not given the two of them titles or promotions, otherwise, they would be really overjoyed and overjoyed.
On the morning of the same day, Qianlong pampered Li Changzai's promise to Song and quickly spread throughout the six palaces in the east and west, causing all the concubines and concubines to discuss.
Empress Fucha Ningxiu's eyes flickered, wondering in her heart whether Qianlong would be tired of seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, so she would be interested in Li Changzai and Song Promise.
The noble concubine Gao Fang lost her temper in the Chengqian Palace, and after breaking all the porcelain at hand, she gradually calmed down again. Gao Fang carefully recalled the appearance and figure of Li Changzai and Song agreed, and there were many doubts in his heart.
In Gao Fang's opinion, Li Fuya and Song Minyu's appearance is far inferior to herself, and she can't be compared with Xiao Yan, who has a delicate appearance. Moreover, although the two of them are still slender, due to their body shape, they lack a slender waist.
Since the two of them are not outstanding in appearance, and they do not have the emperor's favorite slim waist, how can they get the emperor's favor and favor?
Gao Fang pondered alone for a long time, imagining many possibilities in his heart, but he still couldn't guess Qianlong's thoughts.
After learning about this, Concubine Wulanala Jingxian only flashed a trace of amazement and envy in her eyes, but then she became calm. As long as the emperor doesn't put his mind on her, then who the emperor likes and favors now, and what difference does it make to her?
When Xiao Yan heard about this, she was copying Buddhist scriptures in front of the table. Xiao Yan's right hand copying the Buddhist scriptures only paused for a moment, and then continued to copy, disappointed but a little relieved.
And when Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng heard about this incident later, the expressions on their faces were a little weird.
In other words, the two people who have been with the emperor all night in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, aren't they? Where did the emperor get the time to go back to the palace to favor the beauty?
Liu Tongxun has never been very concerned about things other than state affairs and government affairs, but he was slightly puzzled in his heart, and he revealed this matter. However, Fu Heng is a thoughtful person. The more Fu Heng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very strange, and then his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.
The emperor deliberately left him and Liu Tongxun to discuss matters in the palace, and ordered the Jingshifang to record the concubines who had never been favored. Isn't it, the emperor's dragon body is not safe, what is there to hide in that regard......
