() The frontier soldiers are working hard, and the people in the capital are noisy, but the palace is forbidden, and there is still a quiet and quiet to enjoy.

But this so-called silence is only an illusion presented on the surface, and as for everyone's heart, there is a sorrow or trouble due to the depth of the relationship and the involvement.

In the copper box outside the gate of the palace, there will be a special person with a specific key to collect the submission every day, and then send it to the forbidden center under the strict protection of the left and right guards.

The copper box was set up in the second year of the vertical arch, which was the most solemn and tense moment after Xu Jingye's rebellion was pacified. At first, everyone looked sideways, each awe-inspiring, but as time passed, the government and the opposition also acquiesced to this existence.

The Tong Kuang surrender was collected by the elite of the forbidden army, and how to deal with it after it was sent to Ouchi was not well known to outsiders.

In the beginning, the Divine Emperor did have to deal with those submissions personally every day, because this was the surest way for her to understand the situation in the capital. But as time passed, the God Emperor gradually stopped taking care of it himself.

A copper submission comes from a wide range of sources, and the content is inevitably uneven, muddy and sandy, and the number is too much, and at most it can even collect thousands of submissions per day. Wanting to deal with such a huge amount of information was too much of the Divine Emperor's energy and time.

Second, this is not a formal channel of speech after all, it is very always and appropriate, and when the situation gradually stabilizes, its value is gradually weakening.

However, the existence of the copper kuang itself was a psychological deterrent to the people of the Divine Capital, and it could also ensure that the Divine Emperor received information from various channels, so it was still retained. Although the Emperor no longer handles it personally, he still arranges for his cronies and female officials to select useful information every day for them to be read.

As the two armies went to the frontier to fight, the daily work of the female officials in the forbidden area also changed greatly. Shangguan Wan'er was temporarily seconded to participate in the screening of Tongkuang's submission.

The screening of submissions is not in the direct hall where female officials are waiting for edicts on a daily basis, but in a well-guarded and relatively closed place. To be honest, although Shangguan Wan'er has been in the palace for many years and has heard of this existence, she has not seen it with her own eyes.

In the early morning, we were sent to the river island on the southwest side of Taoguang Garden, on which there was a Liri Terrace, and the back side of the Liri Terrace passed through a long corridor to arrive at a lush garden of flowers and trees. Surrounded by high walls, the only gateway to the garden is guarded by Imperial Guards, and strong female officers conduct detailed searches of those who enter and leave the area.

When she first came here, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel apprehensive when she saw that the guards were so strict, but as the number of contacts increased, she gradually regarded it as normal.

The female officers sat in the room where the portal was hidden, and a large number of submissions were placed next to their desks. The useful information was selected and stored, and the useless information had to be screened for the second and third times, and Shangguan Wan'er was responsible for the third round of screening.

"It's the fifth part of the day."

After reading the missing submission at hand, Shangguan Wan'er silently read in her heart, and picked up the key information "Yongtongmen" that was omitted from this submission.

This is another report that the patrol officers of the Jinwu Guard Army are too diligent to disturb the people, Yongtongmen is the southeast gate of the Shendu, and there are only two square areas away from the letter workshop. Many female officials live in the palace all the year round, and they are not very sensitive to the names of the outer Guofang and the city gate, so they will omit something.

When all the submissions were screened, it was already early afternoon. Unconsciously, she had been sitting for most of the day, Shangguan Wan'er exhaled a breath of turbidity, sitting still for a long time so that her legs were a little paralyzed, and she was not used to losing her manners in front of people, sitting on her knees and relaxing her muscles, so she leaned on her side in the mat and raised her hand to gently bend her legs.

"Qiqi Shangguan talent, the submission has been sealed."

There was a report from the female history, and Shangguan Wan'er stood up, paced slightly to relieve the still sensitive paralysis of her legs, and smiled at the female history: "You can notify Yulin to enter." You have to work, so rest first. ”

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Wan'er went out with another female official who was directly involved in the case, and at this time, there were already Yulin soldiers who had entered to receive the sealed cages and escorted them to the Divine Emperor's dormitory.

Walking outside the hall, a female official came to receive the cage, and while the female official was inspecting the seal, Shangguan Wan'er turned her eyes and found that Nayan Wu Chenghei was doing something in the palace. After the delivery was completed, the God Emperor had no other orders, and Shangguan Wan'er returned to the straight hall to resume his life.

"I have been going back and forth several times, but I haven't seen them, how are Shangguan Cairen doing recently?"

Halfway through, a slightly surprised female voice greeted her on the left side of the corridor, and Shangguan Wan'er turned her head to look and saw Wei Tuan'er, who was wearing a white gauze skirt and emerald half-arms, waving to her at the corner.

Despite being physically and mentally exhausted, Shangguan Wan'er still cheered up and turned around, and nodded to Wei Tuan'er: "Hello Mrs. Wei, I heard that Mrs. Wei has joined the company, and she hasn't had time to say hello." ”

"Where do I know what pleasures I have, but I love to be lively, and Your Majesty is tired of me being lazy, so I ask for such a ministry."

Wei Tuan'er talked a lot, and pulled Shangguan Wan'er to sit in a bamboo pavilion outside the corridor: "The talented person has a mouthful, just to worship, Your Majesty gave me a smoothie cherry honey cheese syrup, I was thinking about who to share, but I happened to see a talented person!" ”

As she spoke, she enthusiastically instructed the palace maid to divide the cold drink.

Shangguan Wan'er was not easy to refuse, and only raised her hand to take it after thanking her again, the candied cherries were mixed in the fragrant milk syrup, and the shaved smoothie was sprinkled in it like silver dust, and when she lowered her head and sipped it lightly, there was sweetness overflowing in the tip of the tongue and teeth, and the slightest coolness was very refreshing to drive away the heat.

"Companion in forbidden, can share grace. When you go to the outside field, how can there be too many treasures! People are really restless and disgusting, and they want to disturb their relatives with vulgarity. Alas......"

Wei Tuan'er ate the cold drink, suddenly sighed, his face was thin with disgust, his eyes looked at Shangguan Wan'er's expression, and seeing that he had no reaction, he said again: "Our company is in charge of the pleasure, and I go back and forth to the inner teaching workshop every day, and I have heard a lot of praises from people, so I know that we used to have such a great elegant person to settle down, but now we can't always look at the style." ”

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't avoid it, so she could only smile and say, "Wei Niangzi is talking about the king of Hedong?" ”

"If it's not the king, who can there be!"

Finally led the topic to what he wanted to talk about, Wei Tuan'er's beautiful face was faintly bright: "Earlier, I only thought that the king's music was only beautiful and pleasant, and when I heard many Fang family products, I understood my shallowness more and more." There is no talent matching, and the real gold and jade don't know how to appreciate it before, and only if they miss it, they are full of regrets......"

Shangguan Wan'er just lowered her head and listened, but she didn't speak, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. His Majesty the God Emperor's estrangement from Wei Tuan'er has been revealed, but this lady herself can't feel it, whether the young king is good or bad, or honor or disgrace, after all, he is still a heavenly grandson, where are they, the forbidden women, can discuss right and wrong at will.

"I forgot that talented people are of high quality, and after listening to music theory for a few days, I actually showed off my clumsy knowledge in front of talented people."

Wei Tuan'er saw that Shangguan Wan'er was not interested in talking, so he turned his eyes and said with a smile: "But a few days ago, the king made several pieces of music in the inner teaching workshop, all of which were newly created after leaving the cabinet. ”

"The king has a new work?"

After Shangguan Wan'er heard this, a trace of surprise couldn't help but flash on her face. She has recently combed through the Tongkuang Submission Book, and she is mostly involved in the affairs of the community, even if she has never seen it in person, she can imagine the embarrassment of the young king's current situation with a little association, but she didn't expect that there is still elegance and interest.

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was interested, Wei Tuan'er was a little complacent, and said with a smile: "The new song is still being practiced, and the servants are not yet proficient, so they dare not pass it on." When the drill is complete and the service is summoned, I will have someone notify the talent to come and reward it. ”

Speaking of this, her eyes were more bright, and she said with emotion: "The king is really interesting, this time he is happy, there is a new tune of "Su Mosha", and the old tune talent should also be rewarded?" Some of the hoons are armless, singing and dancing and splashing water, and the tunes are weird and harsh, and there is really nothing to appreciate. But the king has changed the tone of "Street Messenger Song" this time, which is very different from the old dance, which is really refreshing. ”

While speaking, Wei Tuan'er was already dancing and singing, and explained to Shangguan Wan'er: "This "Street Envoy Song", the lyrics of which is recited by General Jin Wuwei. I don't know the merits of the lyrics, but I heard that this general's surname is Chen, but he is not a story character, but a real street patrol envoy, because of his loyalty and diligence, his deeds are known to the king, and the king has a feeling to compose music and praise personnel ......"

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, there was a little strangeness between her eyebrows, and her thoughts had long since stopped paying attention to what was in front of her.

"This new song, I only learn it superficially, and I don't have any talent, I can't show a lot of the fun of this work, what do people think?"

Wei Tuan'er sang and danced for a while and sat back, his face was ruddy, his sweat was dripping, he raised his hand to fan the breeze, and then stared at Shangguan Wan'er with wide eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts slowly retracted, met Wei Tuan'er's gaze, and whispered: "This king is really, really different, gratifying, and surprising!" ”

She has a little bit of a shallow understanding of the young king's current situation, and she is worried about the other party, but she feels that there is really no good way to deal with it.

Especially thinking that the young king is too young after all, under the pressure of this compulsion, or asking for help in a frightened heart, causing some sensitive personnel, or being young and vigorous, and making any reckless moves, this will make the situation even more dangerous.

But now the young king's response can be said to be both reasonable and unexpected.

The young king sang praises to the general of the Nanya Praetorian Guard, if he really wants to make a false accusation, it is not blameless. But it is not a secret that his law is talented, especially the great song presented in the New Year is even more loved by the emperor, and the convicts of the outer court will not be falsely framed if they have a little scheming.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, Wei Tuan'er also laughed, and didn't forget to explain with a cover-up: "I am a new dean of music affairs, and I am afraid that I am only a little knowledgeable and cannot call for fun." With the appreciation of talents, I have a little bit of certainty in my heart, and later let the voice of the inner teaching workshop be familiar with the presentation of His Majesty, and then let the talents appreciate this wonder! ”

Seeing that Wei Tuan'er was full of interest, Shangguan Wan'er wanted to give a few words of advice, but she still couldn't say it after all.

She has always been cautious, timid, and tries not to open her mouth when she can, and she is not without envy for Wei Tuan'er's straightforwardness, but she also understands that she really can't follow suit.

After returning to the straight hall to resume her life, Shangguan Wan'er returned to the bedroom to pretend to sleep and recuperate, but less than an hour later, there was a palace maid who ordered the emperor to summon, so she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly got up to wash her face and change her clothes, and hurriedly went out.
