Section 156 Summer solstice, summer solstice
In the Qingshou Palace, there are still many concubines who have not left.
The queen and the Yan family are all here, Yang Meiren, Shangcairen, except for Qin Meiren, everyone in the four halls of the Houyuan is there. There are also three Shu'e who don't know each other, and the two of them are sitting on the upper hand of the Yan's family, and it seems that they are all above Jieyu. Shu E doesn't know if there is a side hall behind the Funing Palace, that is, the Ruifu Hall back to back in the Changning Hall opposite Shu'e's Yong'an Hall - Zhu Chongyi, who lives in it. I heard that Zhu Chongyi lives in a simple house on weekdays, no, she simply stays at home, so although she is only separated from Shu'e by one hall, she has never seen it.
Shu E greeted the Queen Mother, and saluted the left and right rows of seats. Everyone stood up and returned the salute. Although Shu E's grade is not very high, because she is the maid of the Queen Mother, everyone does not dare to slack off.
With the precedent of Qin Meiren, and listening to the words of Hua Fu and Lilac, Shu E thought that except for a few good friends, others didn't know what kind of face they would show to her. I also heard how unpleasant the words came from behind, Hua Fu and Lilac didn't even want to learn from Shu E.
Shu E knew that he would definitely meet a lot of "ugly" people in the Qingshou Palace, and he was in a nervous mood, so he walked in, but he didn't expect everyone to have such a pleasant face on their faces, and they smiled moderately. The most unnatural expression in the crowd was Shu E, who looked surprised and curious.
The Empress Dowager Wen Yan asked a few words about the progress of sorting out the books in Minghe Hall, and Shu E replied truthfully, saying that there were still three days left to complete.
In fact, according to Shu'e's prediction, it would have been at least six or seven days. Because the closer you get to the emperor's books, the more the emperor reads, and the emperor ordered Shu'e to put these books on two separate shelves, not to mix them into the ones that were placed before. How to put these is really painstaking, and I have to open them one by one to see. It's just that at this time, Shu'e can't wait to get it done today.
The Queen Mother nodded with great satisfaction, and said to the concubines sitting on the left and right: "The rules set by the ancestors, the emperor's study, have always not allowed concubines to enter. One is afraid that the emperor's hard work will be disturbed, and the other is that he is afraid that the concubine will interfere in politics. ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words began, everyone below stood up and listened to the teachings. Hearing this, many people nodded their heads and seemed to agree. In fact, although everyone agrees with the Queen Mother's words, some people praise the Queen Mother's words. She didn't say "the harem interferes in politics", but she said "the queen concubine interferes in politics", and the difference of one word left the queen mother herself to listen to the government and punish the suspicion of "interfering in politics" in state affairs and military affairs.
"I know that you are all dedicated to the emperor, but there are some things that you can't help." Saying that, he nodded to Shu'e and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, when you finish sorting out the emperor's books, you will help him check some historical books and edicts in the hands of the ancestors." As he spoke, he looked around and said with a smile: "Let's still come to Anqing Palace!" What to check, I can also point out to you. ”
Shu E didn't know if it was an illusion, the hidden worry on everyone's faces when the Queen Mother looked around, but at this moment, they all disappeared in an instant. Hearing that he still came to Anqing Palace, everyone was even more relieved.
"It's just that the mourning family is old, and he doesn't have that much energy, and one day, he still has to rely on himself." The Queen Mother's tone seemed to contain infinite tiredness. As he spoke, he nodded to Shu E and beckoned, "If you have something to do, let's go first!" ”
The emperor has actually arrived at Minghe Hall. Quanfu and the two ladies have not yet come.
Shu E said ten thousand blessings to the emperor, and then fell silent. When I walked to the bookshelf, I felt very embarrassed. The books to be sorted out today are on the bookshelf behind the emperor.
"Are you from the Queen Mother?" The emperor didn't read the book seriously, but just casually turned the pages with his hands.
"Yes." Shu E turned to the emperor and replied softly.
"Put the books behind me, are you going back?"
"How does the emperor know about the Dao? Just now...... Are you also in the Celebration Hall? Shu E felt very surprised and couldn't help asking.
"It was the Empress Dowager who asked me to tell me in the morning." The emperor's tone was originally a little sad, but when he heard Shu E's surprised tone, he was a little funny, stood up and asked, "You just went, and the Queen Mother said the same, didn't you?" ”
Shu E nodded, with a look of joy on her face.
"You look like this, are you in a hurry to go back?" The emperor looked at Shu E, his eyes were deep, but his tone was light.
In the bamboo forest that day, the emperor also asked her like this.
"You look like this, are you in a hurry to go back?"
Last time, Shu E was still able to say excuses like "the slave is hungry", but this time, Shu E has nothing to say.
If you have nothing to say, you should either remain silent, or you may ask questions about the past and let the other person speak.
Rhetorical question, either because it is justified, or because there is nothing to say.
But Shu'e knew the consequences of her rhetorical question at this time.
"What about the emperor, do you also want Shu'e to go back soon?" Shu E really has nothing to say.
"Of course not, I want you to stay here all the time." The emperor's voice was gentle and firm.
Such a conversation, Shu E feels terrible when she thinks about it, why do she have to hear it with her own ears and be frightened again.
The emperor walked to the window and stood against the window, leaving only a long back to Shu E. Thinking of the figure in the dream that day, Shu'e couldn't help but be a little stupid. The figure of the emperor is also so chic and elegant, and the jade tree is in the wind. Their figures are really like......
"How many days will it take to sort out these books?"
"Three days."
"What if only one person helped you?"
Shu E's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said secretly: Three people to help me, three days is already very urgent, only one person to help me, so how can I do it? With an idea, he hurriedly said: "If Father-in-law Quanfu or Fang Niangzi have something to do, can I call Hua Fu to help me?" ”
Listening to the emperor's non-answer, I am afraid that the emperor didn't know who Lu Dao Hua Fu was, and hurriedly said: "Hua Fu is the grandson lady, my teaching lady." ”
"Sun Niangzi...... Very ...... hands and feet ...... neatly, Shu E was about to continue, but saw the emperor turn around and look at herself. The unfinished words were swallowed back into his stomach. The look of excitement on his face slowly disappeared with the words.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter my study." The emperor looked at Shu E's face as the smile gradually disappeared and said.
Shu E immediately remembered what the Empress Dowager said, the emperor's study is not allowed to enter the concubines. At that time, Shu'e was still a little happy, and finally, she counted herself as a maid.
At this time, when I heard what the emperor said, I couldn't help but worry, isn't I an outsider?
Shu E's expression was slightly flustered, but she still didn't forget to answer the emperor's words: "I'm afraid it will take a little longer." ”
"Are these books hard to put together?" The emperor seemed to be interested.
"These are the books that the emperor often reads, so I don't want to mix these books with the shelves over there, but still arrange them separately on these two shelves."
The emperor smiled and nodded to Shu E, indicating his approval.
"It's just that the emperor reads too deeply and too hard," Shu E glanced at the books on the shelf, "I read very little, only read the titles, most of them don't know the way, I'm afraid I put them in the wrong place." If you flip through them one by one, it's too time-consuming......"
Shu E was talking to the emperor, and suddenly saw the emperor's chin raised slightly, and at some point, he suddenly heard the voice of Quanfu behind him: "Back to the emperor, the queen and others came to ask the emperor for peace." ”
