Chapter 210: The Messenger
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has found out about the Mulan paddock."
When Qiu Shi came in, the emperor was painting, and it was not difficult to see the shadow of a woman on the painting, it was rare for the emperor to have such a good mood, and Qiu Shi couldn't help but look at it twice.
The emperor stopped his brush and looked at the whole work, only one finishing touch was missing, so he added another stroke before saying, "Say it." ”
Although Qiu Shi is just a slave, he has the support of the emperor, and the investigation is fast and accurate: "This matter really has nothing to do with the eldest brother, the eldest brother just happened to choose the horse." As for the horse giver, at first these horses were bought by the steward of the horse farm, and the slave and maid found a place where they could do something, and at first these horses were in the hands of the governor of Liaoning, and the slave and maid were a little suspicious, why these horses would have something to do with the governor of Liaoning, if they got such a good horse, they would not be able to go directly to the emperor, why should they still deal with horse dealers. ”
Qiu Shi came one by one, although she didn't say it explicitly, but the emperor still heard what she meant: "The governor of Liaoning is the empress's uncle, do you mean that this matter may be related to the empress's mother's family, or is it very likely that the empress is also involved?"
"The slave maid doesn't mean that the queen wants to harm Concubine Yun, because although these horses passed through the hands of the governor of Liaoning, there is no evidence that these horses have undergone some training, and I don't know why those horses are crazy about Concubine Yun, even professional horse trainers can't reach this level." Qiu Shi paused and said: "It can basically be ruled out that someone wants to harm the emperor, and the target should be Concubine Yun or the child in Concubine Yun's belly." ”
The emperor asked Qiu Shi to inquire secretly, not only for Hua Ying, but also for himself, because he can have such a ability to use horses to harm others in the royal enclosure, and he may be harming himself next time: "I am clear, you continue to investigate, and tell me immediately if there is any situation." ”
"The slave obeys."
Then the emperor summoned Hua Ying's brother, as a royal guard, to secretly investigate the matter, and also cooperated with Qiu Shi, it was about his sister, and he couldn't not be careful, and the emperor's caution was secretly hidden in it.
Since Mulan returned to the palace in the paddock, Shun Guiren helped to sort out the relics that Xuan promised, she didn't take away a little of the palace when she was buried, it was like going through a formality, and the people didn't know how to deal with it, and those who were not clean would want to take the opportunity to clean up the palace to steal, and Shun Guiren didn't want Xuan to promise to die, and her things would be taken away by the subordinates, so she was so busy these days, and she didn't have time to see Rou Chang.
Shun Guiren felt that Rou Chang was being bullied by the people of the Internal Affairs Office, and even the use of his palace had to rely on embroidery trading subsidies, and he was really distressed, and now that he was free, he also wanted to go over and take a look, so when he arrived at Rou Chang at the door, those subordinates were still the same lazy, and only Chun'er served her a cup of tea.
"I'm really sorry, I was busy with the affairs of Yongshou Palace some time ago, and I forgot to come to see my sister." Shun Guiren expressed his apologies, while letting the pastries brought by Zhuhe put down, followed by a purse: "This is my monthly routine for this month, you use it first, at least don't let yourself be too tired." ”
"No, sister." Although Rou Changzai spoke slowly, he shook his head firmly and refused: "The noble person's monthly routine is not much more than Chang Zai, how can you give it to me." ”
Shun Guiren only thought that she was embarrassed, but still pushed it over: "If you want to take it, you will accept it, where are there so many words, when the time comes, your embroidered eyes will be spent, but it will be too late." ”
Rou Changzai does seem to be a little better than the things used before, at least he is also a person who has tea to drink, there was almost only water before, and there was no reward from the emperor: "No, there is no need to sell embroidery now, Concubine Yun sent so many supplies before, the concubine is already grateful, my sister doesn't have to run again at all, you open your mouth and let Concubine Yun take care of the concubine, it is enough." ”
This time it was Shun Guiren's turn to be confused, she never said the words of letting Hua Ying take care of Rou Chang: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about, sister, why don't I understand, what did you ask Sister Yun to help you?"
"Isn't it my sister's doing? Aunt Qingxu came to send a lot of things before, including dozens of taels of silver, as well as a lot of clothes and jewelry, including when she spent the winter before, she also sent two baskets of red charcoal, as well as materials for people to sew clothes, which also solved the problem of the shortage of fabrics in the palace. Speaking of which, Rou Chang only understood now, it turned out that Hua Ying took the initiative to help her, knowing the difficulties of her life, and still thinking about her, and put down her things and left, without wanting her to return this kindness.
Shun Guiren suddenly realized, she felt that Rou Changzai's relationship with Hua Ying was not familiar to that point, so she would not care too much about Rou Changzai, but she knew that she was friendly with Rou Chang and took care of the two of them, so she didn't need to mention it at all: "It turns out that my sister has long known your situation, and secretly sent something, before I wanted to mention your matter with my sister, but I never dared to speak, for fear of always bothering my sister, so it seems that it is also the heart of a villain to the belly of a gentleman." ”
"In this way, Concubine Yun is really too charitable, and when Concubine Yun is out of confinement, the concubine must thank Concubine Yun Niangniang to be worthy of these things." Although Rou Changzai likes Shun Guiren, it doesn't mean that she won't be grateful to others.
"Since Sister Yun didn't say much to you, she also regarded you as her own sister, and she couldn't be less grateful, but don't look angry." Shun Guiren naturally understands Hua Ying's character better than Rou Changzai, although he has also experienced several deceptions in this harem, but he is gentle and kind to others, and he will not take the initiative to cause trouble, and he can help others, that is, Concubine Xiu once really hurt Hua Ying's heart, others such as Jing Concubine and Yu Guiren, as well as Run Guiren, also have a close relationship with Hua Ying, and some people's hearts are just not hot, so there is no way to do it.
"It's still my sister's comprehensive thinking, if you rashly say a bunch of thanks, it will indeed put pressure on Concubine Yun, it is better to repay Concubine Yun with practical actions." Rou Chang was talking, and went to her cabinet to rummage through the cabinets and found a pile of fabrics.
"What are you doing here?" Shun noble people are puzzled.
"The sixth princess has just been born, although I can't make a dress for the sixth princess when she was born, but you can embroider a dress for the sixth princess in advance, which can be regarded as a reward."
"You embroider very exquisitely, unlike me, clumsy." Shun nobles sighed at the ingenuity of the soft and ever-present.
The emperor asked why the six princesses were born when they suddenly had a vision, and Qin Tianjian said that he would go back to watch the stars and calculate the results for two days.
The chief envoy of Qin Tianjian is a very superstitious person, firmly believing that everything brought by God is a hint and metaphor, the queen will naturally not let go of an opportunity to discredit Hua Ying and the six princesses, and plans to bribe the chief envoy of Qin Tianjian in the past, but the chief envoy has a sense of fairy wind and bones, and he doesn't take a look at the gold, silver and jewelry that the queen let people send over, and he only dare not say in his mouth, and said that everything has his own fate, and he is doing a line of work, just to spy on the heavens, not to see people and talk about people, and to talk nonsense, even in front of the emperor, It's also telling the truth.
The queen thought about finding a way to find a reason to drag the envoy down and replace it with herself, but she couldn't find any perfect excuse or plan for a while, after all, it was only these two days.
"It's really troublesome, if the people of the Heavenly Prison really praised the sixth princess, didn't they just add wings to Concubine Yun, her wings are already full enough." The queen seems to have a headache about this, Hua Ying has really grown into a concubine who can't act rashly, and faintly surpasses the concubine Ling in her heyday, that is, the Fucha clan, which has invisibly added a lot of pressure to the queen.
"Don't worry, in fact, there are pros and cons to this matter," Xinyu persuaded him: "Since the chief envoy is so upright and has something to say, maybe he will tell the emperor whether it is a blessing or a curse, and he will also tell the emperor, in case it is a disaster call, won't it be over?"
"What you said is light, you have seen such a brilliant glow before, gorgeous and dazzling, if there is such a brilliant calamity, I am afraid that the heavens are mistaken, plus Concubine Yun was called a noble girl by others before, this time it suddenly changed, and the emperor has to believe it." At this point, the queen also had to admit that Concubine Yun did look like a person with a good fate.
"Weichen see the emperor."
"Excuse me, what's going on with what I told you." The emperor asked him to get up and asked.
Qin Tianjian is indeed as he said before, obviously he believes in ghosts and gods the most, and he lacks a heroic and righteous spirit, so people will not suspect that what he said is made up: "Back to the emperor, Weichen observed the stars last night, and combined with the previous book before the birth of the sixth princess, after some analysis, it was confirmed that the sunset vision when the sixth princess was born was a good omen." ”
"Is that true? What kind of auspicious law is it?" After hearing this, the emperor was obviously happy, not only because of the six princesses, but also for his own country, and the people would be more obedient.
"The sunset is everywhere, it is extremely beautiful, and the stars are shining with purple light, with a faint purple gas, and the silver moon star in the east is even brighter than usual, these signs all imply that the country of Daqi will continue to prosper."
After saying these words, the emperor was overjoyed, this is the best result, the country is prosperous, and the people are stable: "This is really a great joy." ”
"Weichen still has something to say, the reason why this silver moon star can be bright is still the guidance of the morning glory star on the side, Weichen also saw such a star about twenty years ago, so Weichen speculated that Concubine Yun Niangniang is the person with auspicious luck, it can be said that entering the palace is a matter of fate, and the six princesses are also affected by Concubine Yun's luck, so there will also be visions."
"You mean, these are all because Concubine Yun entered the palace?"
"Yes, Weichen speculated like this, because Concubine Yun was a purple and gold fate before, and ordinary people can't see it, but people like Weichen who make a living by divination and astrology can see the faint purple light on Concubine Yun's body at a glance." There is no exaggeration, just seriously said his analysis: "If a person with a purple and gold life is a man, he will be rich and noble, which is owned by the emperor, but Concubine Yun is a daughter, and the emperor also has a mandate of heaven, so Concubine Yun will also play a role in assisting the emperor when she is by the emperor's side." ”
