Chapter 273: Settled
Everyone in the county lord's mansion had a good time, but there was a commotion in the palace, Yuan Yuying, who is now the Ying Concubine, asked the maid beside her: "Whose palace is Your Majesty in today?" ”
The maid replied in embarrassment: "Back to the Ying concubine, the slave doesn't know." ”
Yuan Yuying glared at her and said angrily: "It's useless, you can't do such a little thing, what does this palace want you to do?" ”
The maid was so frightened that she knelt directly on the ground, "Niangniang spare her life, Niangniang, it is a big crime to peep into the emperor's tracks." ”
Yuan Yuying snorted angrily, and glanced at the timid maid like a mouse, but she didn't dare to say anything, Qi Anning's identity is now Emperor Zhaohui, which is completely different from her previous identity, and it is not something she can ask casually.
Yuan Yuying sighed, after entering the palace for a few months, the various laws in the palace have already smoothed her edges and corners, and the weakness of human affection makes her clearly realize that this is not the General's Mansion, there is no crazy father here, there is no place to tolerate her younger brother in everything, and there is no place to let her ladies show off everywhere.
There are only all kinds of rivalries, provocations everywhere, and imperceptible traps and hidden arrows. Here she has no friends, no relatives, only him. But Qi Anning's attitude towards her is always not far away, there is no too much favor and no deliberate indifference, and the grace that has not been received in a month is only so twice.
This kind of treatment can't allow her to come by her own temperament, she can't tolerate her presumptuousness, she can only abide by the rules here, put away her edges and corners, to adapt to this indifferent environment, to adapt to this place she wants to come in. But even for the occasional tenderness, she was willing, just for him.
"You go out, if there is any news from His Majesty, remember to come in and reply." After saying this, Yuan Yuying seemed to be lifeless, and quietly looked out the window, the coldness in her heart was like the air outside, extremely piercing.
In the Empress Dowager's palace, the Empress Dowager took a bite of a cut apple, frowned and said: "This internal affairs office has been getting more and more useless recently, and such fruit dares to contribute to it." After saying that, he threw the uneaten fruit directly into the plate. I wiped my hands and stopped eating.
The grandmother standing on the side said: "Niangniang, the slave maid looks at this fruit or the previous Yisaigong fruit, and the best majesty is here to send Niangniang." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, picked up another slice and took a bite. "The emperor has a heart."
"But no, His Majesty is the most pure filial piety."
After eating a slice of apple, the Queen Mother asked, "Your Majesty is in the harem today?" ”
Mama paused, "Your Majesty left the palace early this morning." ”
The Queen Mother sat up straight, frowned, and said, "Out of the palace?" Do you know where to go? ”
"This? The slave doesn't know. ”
The Queen Mother said. "Check it out for the mourners." Then he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Your Majesty has important things to do when he leaves the palace, and the mourning family just asks." ”
Mama was relieved when she heard this, for fear that the Queen Mother would want to get to the bottom of it, and she would be furious after hearing it.
"The scope of the May draft will be expanded, and all the daughters of officials who are at the age of five or above and over will be selected in the palace at the age of fifteen, regardless of their descendants."
Mama was surprised: "Queen Mother, is this too much, do you want to discuss it with Your Majesty?" ”
The Queen Mother snorted softly. "The draft is a matter of the harem, just inform the emperor of Ming'er's mourning family, this harem is still too deserted, several concubines are of average color, naturally they can't keep the emperor, this time you have to choose some people who can get the emperor's favor to come in."
When Qi Anning returned to the palace and heard the news, he only glanced at the Queen Mother lightly, and then nodded in agreement. If the Queen Mother wants to find something to do, he will naturally not stop him, as long as his hand is not stretched too long, he will naturally be able to tolerate it.
And Yan Xiaoyue and the two were tired for a day, and finally rushed back to Jiang's Mansion when it was getting dark. Naturally, there is no way to go to Keeiin Temple to say goodbye at this hour.
Yanyue Curie Yan Xiaoyue was in a good mood and hummed a small tune, Jiang Siyan glanced at the person who was being proud, flashed a wicked smile, and approached Yan Xiaoyue and hugged him. "The lady seems to be in a good mood today?"
Yan Xiaoyue tilted her head and glanced at Jiang Siyan, hugged his neck and smiled: "Can I not be happy to have such a big garden for no reason?" ”
You must know that this thing is unthinkable in modern times, and gardens like that have become national, and they are enclosed for people to play, and it is unthinkable to sleep in them for one night, but now. Thousands of acres of a garden became her private domain, and what could be more exciting?
Jiang Siyan hugged the person tightly, "If the lady likes it, I will build a better garden for your husband, or I will buy the house opposite, open it up with Jinyuan, and then rebuild it." ”
Yan Xiaoyue opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and touched Jiang Siyan's forehead, "Xianggong, are you okay?" Although I'm glad that Xianggong thinks so much about me, but, Xianggong, it's very expensive, right? ”
It's not that Yan Xiaoyue looks down on Jiang Siyan, the scale of the county lord's mansion is not something that ordinary people can build, and praying for peace will also take advantage of the emperor's identity, otherwise, even if he is the prince, if he wants to build a garden on his own, I am afraid it is impossible.
Jiang Siyan was hit when he heard this, is there anything more shocking than this? The lady actually looked down on him, thinking that he couldn't compare to other men? His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said dangerously: "Am I like a person with no money?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue bit her lip and thought for a while, how to answer this? In Yan Xiaoyue's mind, Jiang Siyan really doesn't look like a rich person. It is very simple for her to have such an idea, first, Jiang Siyan has no official position, and now she can say that she is a white man, at most, she is one of her own people, and she is not an official and has no filial piety, so she naturally has no financial resources.
Second, it can be seen from the daily life of the Jiang Mansion, speaking of which, the Jiang Mansion has also stood in the imperial city for hundreds of years, and it is considered a family with a deep background, but such a large family is not prosperous, and naturally has no future for development. On weekdays, the Jiang family acts low-key and unassuming, and their life can be said to be frugal, probably because they don't have enough money.
Third, Jiang Siyan is often idle in the house, saying that he manages general affairs, but he has not seen him go out to deal with it, and there will not be many things to do. Like Muzi going north and south, the profit earned is at least 50,000, which is not a good thing left by himself.
As for the fourth, that is Yan Xiaoyue's own feelings, she thinks that she is a rich person in the Jiang Mansion, so she naturally takes more care of the people around her and is more generous.
"Xianggong, it's not a question of whether we have money or not, we can't waste money like this, you see now I have several shops, there are two large Zhuangzi, and the Jinyuan where I live is spacious enough, and now there is the county lord's mansion, and there will be a place to take refuge in the summer, counting, it is really enough, and it is really a waste to expand the Jinyuan." (To be continued.) )
