Chapter 664: The Eight-Year-Old Prince (11)

The soldiers of the Rui Wangfu came here to beat the grass, and the barren grass really affected people's emotions. There is a rule in the rules of the www.biquge.info of the pen, fun and pavilion: maids are not allowed to talk to guards and personal soldiers casually. Therefore, these palace maids did not dare to approach the guards and personal soldiers of King Rui's Mansion, and if they left the Forbidden City, they would not belong to the emperor's women, and it was not a sin to secretly take a look at the young opposite sex here. It is said that the pro-soldiers in the house are all good hands, and they can fight with spears, cut wheat with sickles, and build walls with brick knives...... But they didn't dare to approach these soldiers, and their reputation was still important, so they could only look out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, they were all strong and powerful, and the big knives were waved "swish, swish", and the dead grass fell.

Dry grass is very useful, when lighting the iron stove, put it at the bottom, on top is a dry branch or chopping wood, on top of the chopping wood is a block of coal, put it fluffy, with the little head called the match stick "click" on it, at the door of the stove, "whew" on the ground. It's not smoking at all, and it's very thriving.

Regardless of the rank, each member of each room had to take turns to make the stove, that is, in the morning, get up a little early to light the iron stove, boil an iron kettle of boiling water for the people in the same room to wash their faces, and pour the rest of the water into a bottle called a "hot water bottle", which can last for a day The water will not be cold. They had never seen a furnace made of iron, the water was boiled quickly, the coal was burning in the furnace, and the smoke was coming out of the tin furnace, and there was no choking smell.

These palace maids, big and small, have seen a lot of novelties that they have not seen in the palace, and they are very satisfied. In this Xuan Wangye's house, there are really a lot of good things, although they are not as valuable as the emperor's things, but they are very practical.

Slowly, these palace maids realized the benefits here, first of all, they were not so nervous, they didn't have to walk on thin ice, they didn't have to look at people's faces and figure out people's minds, and even their breathing was even more comfortable, and the depression and fear in the past were gone, and many people had gained weight. The only downside here is the poor view, everything else is good!

The work done here is as much as you hand in, and you can return as much processing fee as you want, and the mother who collects the work does not hide it at all. Unlike in the palace, some housekeepers dare to deduct the monthly case. It's better than not knowing, and being scared by it, you should be blessed!

There are often gatherings of all the palace maids here, and the great eunuch Lian Gonggong is responsible for ringing the bell made of iron rods, and loudly informing everyone where to gather: "Ladies and grandmothers, pay attention, everyone immediately gather in the square, and Manager Tian has a lecture!" ”

Even the square that my father-in-law said was newly built with a four-foot-high platform, and everyone had to be informed here of anything they wanted.

It is very close to the north wall of the Ruiwangfu Garden, only separated by a road that is not too wide. As soon as the bell rang, the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who were trained in the Rui Wangfu should have called the soldiers of the Xuan Wangfu came out of the back door and arrived at the main gate of the "Xuan Wangfu". Everyone quickly stood in line and waited for the lecture from the peak.

There were already people sitting on the platform, and there were many imperial guards in yellow coats guarding a handsome young man in the middle.

Mama Sa exclaimed, "Your Majesty! All the people knelt down: "The slave (slave) see the emperor!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

Some of these people have seen the emperor, and some have not even seen the emperor's shadow after entering the palace for many years. may not have this opportunity in the future, but when I arrived at King Xuan's Mansion, I actually saw the emperor on this occasion!

The emperor sat on the chair in the middle, and the people sitting on both sides were naturally Prince Rui and Prince Xuan. So everyone hurriedly greeted Prince Rui and his master Xuan Wangye: "The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

"Excuse me." The emperor waved his hand and kindly prevented everyone from kowtowing.

The prince spoke: "Today, the emperor came to visit you after the morning court, I am really worried, and now the emperor will say a few words to you." ”

"I don't have much to say, just to tell everyone that it is your greatest blessing to be able to come to King Xuan's Mansion. Don't look at the depression now, you are meritorious people who started a business with Lord Xuan. The Forbidden City where I lived was probably so desolate a thousand years ago, right? Lord Rui is a Buddhist, very benevolent, all you can do is to work hard! Together with Prince Rui and Prince Xuan, he took on the mission of doing business. I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the Forbidden City, and it will be much easier here. When you get here, you have nothing to do with the Forbidden City, so your master is Lord Xuan. Don't think that he is small, he wants to be sloppy in everything, he is the reincarnation of a prodigy, helping me defeat the provocation of foreign envoys, raising the national prestige of the Qing Dynasty, and being a loyal minister who has worked hard and made great achievements. In the future, you will obediently listen to his command, do a good job, and the good days are ahead. How many words do you say? ”

The prince hugged his fist at the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he turned to the people present and said, "You may all know that this king is in business and wants to help the emperor, our Great Qing Kingdom is not very rich, and it has just gone through war. When you all come to King Xuan's mansion, you are helping this king and helping King Xuan to fill the treasury with silver. Don't worry about having nothing to do, there are too many things to do, and I believe you will do well. ”

The emperor interjected and said: "Don't think that you are people who are not wanted in the palace, you are people I dislike, some of you are not liked by my concubines, but they don't like it doesn't mean that you are not good." So don't be inferior, no one in Xuanwangfu underestimates you, just do a good job! ”

The emperor's words are the meaning of God, and there is also the meaning of apologizing for those concubines, and the palace maids and girls are very moved. At that time, I signed up to leave the palace by myself, and I can't regret leaving there! When I didn't come out, I looked forward to leaving the place where I ate people and didn't spit out bones, and when I came out, no one beat and no one scolded me, I lived with dignity, I ate and lived very well, and I had to jump back into the fire pit? The hearts of all the palace maids and girls slowly became less impetuous.

Three days later, the guard announced: "There are girls who have served in the palace for ten years and want to return home when the deadline comes, so they can leave the house early." Prince Xuan will give you a settling-in allowance, and the government will send you home in a carriage, or a woman you don't have a companion will be in danger. If you want to go back, you can prepare, you must say hello to me in advance, otherwise you can't receive the settling-in allowance. The rest of the grandmothers and sisters settled down to do needlework, and half a month later, there will be a needlework talent show, from which the winner will be selected. There are a lot of people who order from the government now, so you don't have to worry about having nothing to do. The number of people who serve the master in the house over there is already full, so you will receive your monthly allowance in the future, such as processing fabrics. What rank were you in the palace before, and what rank are you here. If you haven't served for ten years and don't want to go home, you can work in the house, and the prince Fujin will care about your marriage, and will arrange for you to marry someone who is suitable for you as much as possible, and will not delay your lifelong events. If you are willing to continue to do handicrafts after getting married, you can also continue to do it here, and if there is no suitable husband candidate for the time being, you can work in the house with peace of mind, and wait for someone who has fate. Because after all, you have had a few days of interaction with Prince Xuan, and Prince Xuan can't bear to leave you homeless, without food and clothing. ”

Coming from the splendid Forbidden City to this barren and grassy place is indeed unacceptable to the palace maids, but if you think about it carefully, how much does that splendid place have to do with you? But the Forbidden City is the beautiful dream of many palace maids, there is no girl who does not look forward to a better future, in order to climb to that high position, many girls exchange their life's happiness and even their lives for it! As a result, it bursts as quickly as a beautiful soap bubble, and when that time comes, it will be too late to regret it. The more you love fantasy, the more tragic the ending becomes!

The current environment is to remind these palace maids to get rid of unrealistic fantasies as soon as possible, walk out of a life path from the barren grass in a down-to-earth manner, and create a real home for themselves with their hard work and sweat.

Some people wake up from their dreams, and some people still refuse to come out in their dreams. Some people listen to persuasion, and some people insist on going their own way, such as being perfect? Arudai felt that she had been deceived. She felt that she should be Grandpa Guo's favorite person, because she also liked Grandpa Guo, especially his handsome appearance, which was much better looking than the emperor. The emperor may have some kind of illness and is always not so strong, but when the grandfather of the country is busy from morning to night, he is always so energetic and energetic. I didn't know that I was rewarded by the Queen Mother to Grandpa Guo's family, and Arudai wanted to go home after having a round with Grandpa Guo to inform Ama Eniang and surprise them. However, she suddenly felt that there was no self in the eyes of Grandpa Guo! She wasn't sure. From the state of irrational ecstasy to the wild grass in front of him. must think of a way to arouse Grandpa Guo's attention to herself, so she searched her intestines every day to find a way.

When she was in the palace, a little sister told her that if you want to become a phoenix and fly on the branches, start with the people and things related to the phoenix, such as pleasing his parents and her siblings. Arudai inquired about the family situation of Grandpa Guo, his original partner was born as a maid, and his father is now a first-class civil official, a university scholar and the governor of the palace. But the old man was very difficult to approach, but the mother of Grandpa Guo was so close that she was busy trying to make snacks all day long.

Pregnant! Why don't you learn to make snacks from Grandpa Guo's mother? It's also a skill to learn well, huh? When the time comes, I will make the snacks and side dishes that Grandpa Guo likes to eat every day, this idea is so good! Just when Arudai was ready to devote herself to it, she found that she had no time at all, and the two princes in the house used the palace maid as labor, how many fabrics must be completed every day to earn back the monthly order, how could there be that time to learn to make dim sum? Everyone else was at ease after seeing the emperor that time, but Arudai was restless as if she was on fire under her buttocks.

A good friend, a good best friend, and a good sister who serves the little master in a palace, Little Goldfish asked her: "Sister Wanyan, what's wrong with you?" Like a headless fly all day long? Do you often have thoughts slipping on the fabric art? What happened? Arudai wanted to tell her about the Queen Mother's reward, but she didn't dare to say it. Everyone else started to kill their hearts and do their right things like reassuring pills, but Arudai became more and more irritable, and she was careless about everything, and she even lost her appetite.

In fact, this state is impetuous, anxious, and quite bad for the body. The Exotic side says that this condition can lead to low immunity and then illness. In fact, vanity drives her, and if this situation is not controlled, it is easy to do something stupid on the spur of the moment.

In the end, she decided: she wanted to confess her heart to Grandpa Guo in person, so that she could know what he thought about her. The opportunity finally came, and she saw Tian Liang enter the place they called the office. So he quietly followed and approached the room. There was a glass window in the room, reflecting Tian Liang's figure. Just when Tian Liang took out a stack of papers from the drawer and locked the door, Arudai suddenly appeared in front of Tian Liang's eyes, and Tian Liang was startled. "Say hello to Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo is auspicious!"

"Who are you? There is something to say outside, it is inconvenient here. What's the matter with you? ”

"Grandpa Guo, am I Wanyan? Arudai, is the Queen Mother'......"

"Oh, what's wrong with you? I'm busy......"

"I'm ......" Arudai didn't know what to say, her face flushed, her lips trembled, and her head went blank.

"I said I'm busy, the prince is waiting for me, if you can't think of what to say, I'll talk about it later, okay? I can't afford to delay any longer. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Tian Liang didn't embarrass Arudai, but he didn't give her a chance to confess. Because in his heart he didn't recognize the queen mother's reward at all. That kind of verbal sentence can decide the life of a girl, too rash, right?

It happened very suddenly, and the process was very fast, like a soap bubble that shook in front of your eyes and burst, and then there was no more impression.

But it was a great hope for Arudai, because Grandpa Guo was not angry, nor did he reprimand her for Arudai's recklessness. So Arudai decided that there would be a next time if it didn't work out this time!

Just as she was trying to figure out what to do and put it into practice, someone from the family told her that her father was sick, and it should be said that he was injured and in danger! Before she had time to think about anything, Arudai took leave from the Gronn guards and hurriedly hired a car and ran home. As a result, Amma was injured by mistake, and the person who hit him saw the wrong person. Half a month later, Amma's injuries were relieved and there was no danger to his life, and Arudai returned to Xuanwang's Mansion. The enthusiasm for the grandfather of the country has also consumed most of it. Caizhu, Huazhi, and Arudai's family backgrounds are the best among Arudai, but her heart is too impetuous.

In the blink of an eye, it was a month after entering the palace, that is, when she wanted to report her "political achievements" to the Queen Mother, Arudai couldn't think of what to report to the Queen Mother, so she could only hand in a blank paper. Xiaohuazhi, who is also the queen mother's eyeliner, reported to the queen mother what happened after entering the palace, such as the talent competition, for example, being appointed by the government as the teaching mother on the needle, and for example, the desolation of the Xuanwang Mansion. All of them are telling the truth, but none of them is evidence of Lord Rui's rebellion. The Queen Mother couldn't be harsh, because she also said that she was not allowed to make things up. She is also afraid that someone will run her tongue in order to invite merit, if she punishes Lord Rui according to such untruths, she is likely to become a laughing stock for the ages, and then lose the dignity of the queen mother. The Queen Mother is a politician, not a fool, anyone can deceive. Despite this, he was still very dissatisfied with Harudai's white scroll. Although the situation that Xiao Huazhi said has no reference value, it is the real situation of King Xuan's Mansion, and it can be used to reason what Prince Rui is going to do next according to that situation, and then in what direction. It's not for nothing. Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't use Caizhu as eyeliner, because Caizhu was about to reach the age of leaving the palace. The Queen Mother also has Tian Liang's mental preparation that he does not take the woman he rewarded to him seriously. It is a reward, like a cat and a dog, which is of a completely different nature from fingering! (To be continued.) )
