30.030, to retreat as advance
"But the master is so angry, I have never seen it before." Qian Yuanhe is still worried. The lord's temper is not good, but he rarely gets angry with his subordinates, and today the voice has caught up with the thunder, can it be okay?
Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, if you are so angry, you can pretend that you are okay afterwards, and you don't say a word about how to send it down, you don't understand what it means here?" Still think you need to worry about it? Otherwise, what do you think we can do now? Obviously, it is Miss Qiwen who has come to the stage for the master, let's go over to intercede, how can the master get this face? If you don't intercede, should you ask the master: Why don't you deal with Miss Qiwen? Hurry up and give me a court staff......"
Qian Yuanhe understood everything now, and nodded: "It's still the master who sees things accurately, so I'll pretend that I didn't hear anything, and when the master's anger is gone, let's find an opportunity to say good things for Miss Qiwen." ”
Wang Zhi threw down the toothpick and poked a finger at his temple: "Look at your kid who is so unenlightened, how can I rest assured that you will take over the class of the head of Longxi Pavilion?" ”
Qian Yuanhe squatted down with a hippie smile and beat his legs for the master: "The master is in the prime of life, and it is just right for me to learn from you for another few decades." Anyway, there is Master Fang in the East Factory, what is the apprentice in a hurry to take over? ”
Wang Zhi's heart moved, and he turned his head to look inside.
A few steps away from them, in the second room, Fang Kui was lying at his desk transcribing the holy decree. It stands to reason that the three of them have followed the emperor together for many years, and they are all inseparable from each other, but this Fang Kui is too taciturn, which inevitably makes people feel alienated.
In the past, it was nothing to have fun in Guanzhong, but now that they are also serving in the imperial city, it involves the distribution of interests and the level of authority, Wang Zhi will be a little suspicious from time to time, will this silent Master Fang be dissatisfied with anything, and have any special thoughts.
The apprentices' so-called "just prime" are all false, most of the eunuchs do not live long, Wang Zhi knows that he is like his own age of more than fifty, maybe it will be over if he catches a cold in winter. Now there is no eunuch who is both capable and loyal, and there is no room for the only three henchmen to have another centrifugal eunuch.
Qian Yuanhe leaned over heartlessly, and saw that Fang Kui's pavilion body was square and strong, as if it was engraved, and immediately exclaimed: "Master Fang's words are stronger than those pavilion elders, it's a pity that you have unloaded this poor pen, and no one here can write this good word." ”
Qiao Anguo asked himself to step down as the governor of Dongchang to serve the emperor personally, and Fang Kui stepped down as the master of ceremonies to take over as the governor of Dongchang.
Fang Kui didn't say much, only slightly hooked the corners of his lips, got up and picked up the pen and inkstone on the table, walked to his side and said, "Don't cover this matter today, let the little yellow doors go outside and shout." ”
A headless sentence, Wang Zhi and his apprentice were stunned for a moment before they both came over, Wang Zhi patted his thigh, pointed at him and smiled: "Or you kid is more careful, Yuanhe, learn from others!" ”
……
The news in the palace has always spread at the speed of Scud missiles, Longxi Pavilion is the focus of everyone's attention, and then there are eunuchs who deliberately proclaim it on the orders of the chief manager, and within a day, the whole harem knows that the new palace maid provoked Long Yan and was scolded to go out.
In addition to the imperial garden in the west, there is a small imperial garden in the middle and rear of Zhiyang Palace, which is attached to a row of rockeries on the southeast corner, and outside the rockery is the road connecting the long street in the east. This day is crisp and crisp, the wind is beautiful, Concubine Ning and the two servants each took their personal palace maids, gathered on the rockery pavilion to play on the rockery and eat tea and chat, and the center of the topic was naturally the "poor" palace maid.
"Yes!" Cui Qiao relied on the fact that he was the most favored palace person in front of Concubine Ning, and he had always regarded himself as half a master, and he was full of confidence when he spoke, "The masters didn't see it, I went to probe her mouth that day, and I looked at the frivolity of the nostrils facing the sky, I really looked at myself and went to the front of the palace, and the sparrow became a phoenix." ”
Naturally, they were all curious about Qiwen. As early as when Qiwen was on the post in the sky, Cui Qiao was ordered by Concubine Ning to explore her hypocrisy, in fact, she wanted to give Qiwen a dismount and warn her: Our mother is in the position of a concubine, and it is also a mountain in this harem, don't think that you can see no one in front of the palace in one step.
At that time, Qiwen didn't reply to her at all, but just said something politely, "Well, yes, you are right" and so on, but before Cuiqiao could finish speaking, she was scolded by an aunt sent by the queen.
Although she didn't get half of Qiwen's bad treatment, but the inferiority complex of the little person was troubled, seeing that Qiwen's appearance and bearing were far higher than herself, Cui Qiao was inevitably ashamed of herself, and felt that she was despised by her, and it was her responsibility to judge all her reactions as frivolous, and then exaggerate it several times to tell the world.
Concubine Ning shook the silk fan lightly in her hand, with a gentle smile on her face, but her tone was self-inflicted and self-pitying: "People climbed the eldest princess before entering the palace, and climbed to the emperor so quickly, even the queen mother and the queen are all holding and protecting them, can you not be frivolous?" In my case, I am also frivolous. It's a pity, how can we have that life? ”
Wang Xuanzhi took the walnuts peeled by his palace maid and ate them, and pouted the corners of his mouth: "Why does my sister want to increase her ambition?" It's just a minion, and now it's annoying the emperor again, what's there to be crazy about? ”
provoked the emperor to be angry and was not punished, so what does it mean? Concubine Ning despised Wang Xuanzhi's short-sightedness in her heart, but she echoed with a smile on her lips: "What my sister said is also true." But after all, he is still a person in front of the emperor, and it is still worth taking a look at. ”
Wang Xuan's attendants became more and more unconvinced when he heard this, and immediately made an impassioned declaration of battle: "...... When you get the chance, you must give that little hoof a dismount, let her know that it is amazing! ”
Concubine Ning frequently smiled and added firewood, while the Feng Xuan attendant on the side had a worried face, and only persuaded a few words clumsily.
"She's coming." Cui Qiao suddenly pointed to the road outside the rockery, "That's her, look at that wave." ”
Wang Xuan stood up with a sigh of relief, helped the tired silk phoenix hairpin on his head, and was about to kill the general. Feng Xuan's attendant hurriedly pulled her sleeve and persuaded: "Why should my sister make trouble? Whether she is good or bad is none of our business after all. Now that Aunt Su is helping the queen manage the palace, it is the moment of strict palace rules, so it is better to be careful in everything. ”
Wang Xuanshou broke away from her hand and said, "I don't believe that a little palace maid from the seventh rank can still violate any palace rules." ”
When they were elected to the palace, they dreamed of stepping into the sky, but they didn't expect to be snubbed by the emperor for more than a year.
After Wang Xuanzhi finished speaking, he walked out of the pavilion, accompanied by the little palace maid, and walked down the mountain and stone path next to him. Feng Xuanzhi sighed when she saw it, but Concubine Ning smiled and said nothing, instigating others to test the water for her, this trick she was already familiar with.
As early as when she was a daughter at home, she often instigated her sisters to pester her mother and cry for this and that, causing her mother to lament every day that she was the only eldest daughter in the family who was sensible, and in the end everything good was close to her. After entering the palace, she successfully instigated He Cairen to get close to the emperor......
She still thought that He Xin'er was not so heartless and not so easy to provoke, but she didn't expect her to really go, and she ended up like that. Concubine Ning even felt that her instigation stunt could be regarded as a fire, and she might get a chance, and even the emperor would instigate it in the future, and then she would be called rich and boundless.
The palace maid on the road walked with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and Wang Xuanshou came over with the palace maid with him and stopped her with a big sword. The palace maid glanced at her, and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and she was deeply blessed: "Blessed nobles." ”
Wang Xuanzhi saw her for the first time, she had neither fat powder nor hairpin rings, and her expression was also well-behaved. But women want to look at women unpleasantly, there are reasons, more beautiful than me, just can't get along with me!
looked up and down trying to find something wrong, but couldn't pick it out, and finally had to say in a high-end tone: "The sun is so big, you go to the east side hall of Yonghe Palace and get me two palace yarn fans." ”
Lu Ti had to lie to find the stubble in the west of the town and lied that the officials wanted to buy the stubble, and Wang Xuanzhi waited for her to talk back and excuse herself, so that she could take advantage of the problem, and at least she had to slap her a few times with the palace maids, but after the other party listened, he respectfully bowed and said: "Obey the orders of the nobles." And then he was leaving.
"You...... Wait a minute. Wang Xuanzhi exclaimed in astonishment.
The palace maid turned around according to her words and asked softly, "What else does the noble man command?" ”
Wang Xuan's chest rose and fell, and his beautiful apricot eyes widened, and he didn't know where to start. Doesn't it mean that this palace maid is very arrogant? She is a poor hanger in front of the emperor, and she can refuse to run errands for her on this ground, why should she be so deferential?
Wang Xuanzhi punched the cotton, and he couldn't make it out with all his strength, and Sensei was uncomfortable.
The people in the pavilion over there looked at this side from afar, and the words were inaudible, only to see Wang Xuan's attendant commanding, the little palace maid just bowed her head and listened, and in a few words, she bowed to Wang Xuan's servant a few times, and was so respectful that she didn't pick it, and finally Wang Xuan's servant seemed to be exhausted, and finally couldn't do anything more, and let the little palace maid leave.
Concubine Ning lightly held the palace fan, looked at it gracefully, and sighed secretly in her heart: It can be seen that he is a powerful person, knows how to judge the situation, and does not suffer immediate losses.
Suddenly, seeing two small yellow doors not far from Wang Xuanzhi, Concubine Ning couldn't help but be stunned. People come and go here, and it is not unusual for eunuchs to pass by, but these two people are not far away and not close to standing there without moving, as if they are deliberately watching the excitement, and when the palace maid is gone, Wang Xuanzhi turns back to this side, and the two yellow doors continue to walk.
Concubine Ning's face froze, could it be that this was a game done by someone, and Sister Wang was afraid that she was going to suffer......
There was a soft sound, and the amber glass teacup fell over on the dragon book case, and after half a circle, the tea dyed a brownish crescent on the bright yellow table curtain and a few pieces of paper. The little chamberlain knelt down in shock and pleaded guilty, and Qian Yuanhe came over to pick it up while counting it.
The emperor is almost out of temper, he is used to not raising his head, he can take the teacup in his hand with a touch of his hand, take a sip and then put it back, since the girl did not come to the value, he also emphasized to the rest of the people more than once that the teacup should be placed, such a simple thing, how can others not do it?
Just three days have passed, and he doesn't know if it's the fifth or sixth time to reach over and knock over the teacup, Ben also wants to warn himself to change this habit, isn't it enough to raise his eyelids more? It's just been a habit for more than half a month, how can it be so stubborn, three days have passed and there is still no improvement, which knocks over the tea on the table, and if it goes on like this, even the table curtains are almost not enough to change.
Could it be that because he had stumbled her by spilling tea, he had suffered such a curse?
Watching Qian Yuanhe clean up the mess, the emperor scolded: "You all did it on purpose, don't look at me, I can't see it!" ”
Qian Yuanhe looked up in shock: "What did you say?" ”
The emperor sat with a sore shoulder, so he simply stood up and turned out of the table and paced a few steps, and said, "You all want me to feel that I can't do without her, and you want me to keep her. ”
Qian Yuanhe's face was full of grievances: "What did the master say?" The slaves and maids have been serving the master for many years, what happened in the past, what is still the case now, it has never changed, Miss Qiwen has only been here for less than half a month, and the master is used to calling her, and I think we are not thoughtful, we are still wronged here, how can we play with that pair of hearts? ”
It's strange that the truth can be taught, but it's not all crooked. It's really what happened in the past, what's still going on now, he's really used to being wrong with her, this little girl is really capable! The emperor faced the window with his hands behind his back and was silent.
In the past three days, the anger has long been gone, and I used to be full of wariness of her flattery and pet, but now ...... But it seems that he expects her to be soft and pleased.
Why didn't the girl come over to ask for sin? Could it be that he still feels that he is wrong, waiting for him to give in first?
It was his husband who wanted to drive her away, and it was indeed his fault...... It's frustrating to think about it. Do you really want him to apologize to a palace maid? Can't she see that he is the emperor and "let" him point?
Qian Yuanhe put the tea set and wet paper into the black lacquer tray, handed it to the little waiter to send it out, and saw that there was no one else in front of him, so he thought about his tone and said: "A girl from Qiwen came to the slave maid to inquire before, and wanted to know if the master's anger had disappeared, and if she came to ask for sin, it would be appropriate." ”
The emperor was stunned: "Has she been here?" ”
"Exactly. I came in the afternoon of the same day," Qian Yuanhe said in a proper manner, "It was the slave maid who made her own initiative and told her to wait for two more days." Yesterday she came to ask again, and the slave sent her back to wait. ”
"Why do you say that?" The emperor frowned, and now he realized that he dared to love that he was cheated by him.
Qian Yuanhe seemed to be taken aback: "What does the master mean, is the slave and maid wrong?" The slave maid thought that the master was so angry that day, and it was a blessing not to order to reward Ayako, how could she still want to see her, and I wish I could let her go. ”
The deliberate traces in these words were somewhat obvious, but the emperor did not say anything. What could he say? Do you say it directly: You dog slave, I am not angry with her at all, in fact, I have been looking forward to her coming to me to make amends, how dare you get in the way!
He could only sulk and keep silent. Well, as the emperor, he was scolded by her, but he became the target of everyone afterwards, and even the minions felt that he was unreasonable.
Qian Yuanhe continued: "Master said, although Miss Qiwen doesn't look like a person sent by the third prince, however, this kind of fiery temperament is not very suitable to stay in front of the palace on an errand, the master is the Ninety-Five, if she wants her life, she should also stretch her neck and wait, where can she just suffer a little grievance, just talk back and make the master angry?" If such a person doesn't stay, he won't stay, and the grandfather is soft-hearted and doesn't want her to die, so he just sends her away. "- Master said that sometimes we should retreat as advance.
The emperor still did not speak. should at least send her away, the two of them were so loud that day that I am afraid that the people in the whole Longxi Pavilion heard it to some extent, if it is better to keep her and not punish her at all, what will outsiders think? Maybe even she herself will be pampered and arrogant in the future, and she will be even more lawless.
But...... Alas, human nature is really cheap, I was beaten by her head and face, but I didn't get tired of her, but I didn't want to send her away as much as before.
He clearly imagined that it would be good to send her to Zhuojin, if she was really married to a small hundred households of Jinyiwei as a daughter-in-law...... Which Jinyi Wei Xiaobaihu is worthy of her!
He didn't want her to marry any Jinyi Wei Xiaobaihu at all!
Could it really be that she can only admit it, keep her well, and even invite her to come over and apologize to her?
Qian Yuanhe is really eventful! How good would it be to let her come over and make amends? He was really curious to see what that stubborn girl looked like when she bowed her head and made amends.
Qian Yuanhe kept in mind the steps explained by the master, weighed the heat and said carefully: "Counting it, Miss Qiwen hasn't been here for three days. Yesterday, when a slave maid was on duty, she was stopped by the king master outside the imperial garden and suffered a lot of grievances. The master of the king is called a majestic man, and Miss Qiwen only promised to be careful, but she was still beaten by her head and face. Poor to see the child, that is also the eldest lady of the Hou Ye's family, who is born many times higher than the master of the king, but now she has to suffer from this kind of wretchedness, even the slave and maid can't bear to see it. ”
As he spoke, he calculated, the master would be angry and say, "That's what she did", and he picked up and said, "But you have to see what people are drawing, isn't it?" "I didn't expect the master to be angry anymore-
"Who is the king's master?" The Emperor turned around and asked, but he didn't have that title in his mind.
actually skipped a step, Qian Yuanhe was surprised, he held the table curtain in his hand, and said as much as he could: "It is the Wang Xuanzhi who lives in the east side of Yonghe Palace." ”
The emperor's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he said sneeringly: "A servant, also known as the master, even the people in front of the emperor dare to discipline him." When you saw it, you didn't say a word? "Harem battles are not new, but he really can't imagine that even those few women he doesn't even look at will have the confidence to make waves.
Qian Yuanhe, Wang Zhi and Fang Kui don't look down on those little concubines, Concubine Ning is a typical person who doesn't go on the stage and has a bad heart, Wang Xuanzhi is still flying and domineering when he doesn't go on the stage, so he is still a duty, although he doesn't dare to say anything when he sees people, he seems a little childish, at least he won't rush to make people tired.
Originally, I thought that He Cairen was still a passable character, but he still thought that he was still a spy...... This time, Wang Xuanzhi's reaction was not at all what they expected, it was almost as if he was acting according to the drama they had written.
Hearing the emperor's words, Qian Yuanhe felt very happy, and said helplessly on his face: "Miss Qiwen is not in office, and it is not wrong for the master of the king to send an idle palace maid, and no matter how low the position of the master of the king is, he is also the master, and there is no reason for our slaves and maids to speak and teach." You know, the harem is a red and low realm, Miss Qiwen came to the front of the palace as soon as she came up, her dignity and glory are not comparable to others, and she is enviable, this time people will hear that she was reprimanded by you, and the errand is about to be lost, don't those people take the opportunity to step on two feet? ”
Running an errand? How clumsy this is to guide the conversation. The emperor deliberately didn't answer, sat back on the chair, took a sip of the tea that Qian Yuanhe handed over again, and asked indifferently: "Empress Taishang sent someone to help the queen?" ”
Qian Yuanhe said: "Yes, Queen Taishang sent Aunt Su Qing. ”
"Send someone to spread a message, punish the king and choose a servant to be grounded for a month, and cut all kinds of cases by half." The emperor lowered his eyes and said lightly, and looked at the ticket again.
The grounding is nothing, these days the court has been reduced to the limit, a selection of servants is not high, and if it is cut by half, it is not an exaggeration to say that the king will starve, a month of hunger. Not to mention, this time she will become a trampled object who is red and black, and maybe everyone will show her face. This penalty is also heavy enough.
Qian Yuanhe asked tentatively: "...... is that crime?"
The emperor didn't even raise his eyelids: "What other crimes?" ”
Wang Xuan's stubble to find a palace maid is not a violation of palace rules, at most it is a small sin of noisy and rudeness, but the emperor wants to clean her up, what else do you need to look for?
Isn't the news in the palace spreading quickly? He just wants everyone to see that this palace maid is covered by me, and only I can do it myself.
In the realm of the harem, it is I who have the final say, and I don't need to reason with you if I touch my mold!
