"The emperor has arrived—"

Hearing the loud singing of the inner and inner eunuchs outside the door, Concubine Jing hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and went out to greet her: "The concubine sees the emperor, and my emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Xu is because in her own palace, Concubine Jing wears very simple, only wearing a light-colored palace skirt, her hair is loosely tied with a peach hairpin, and the whole person looks gentle and elegant.

As soon as the emperor entered the hall, he felt that his heart was relaxed, and he stepped forward to help Concubine Jing up, and said with a smile: "Flat." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the embroidery stand on the table and asked, "What is this doing?"

Concubine Jing instructed the palace people to pour tea, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm idle, I have nothing to do, I just make embroidery and play, just let the emperor laugh." ”

The emperor walked over to take a look, and saw that the embroidered two fish were lifelike, and the lotus leaves next to them were contrasting with each other, so he couldn't help but feel a little interested, and asked with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen you embroider, this is a belly pocket?"

Concubine Jing nodded in response, and said a little arrogantly: "Back to the emperor, exactly." ”

Hearing this, the emperor became a little more interested, took it and looked at it, and asked with some doubts: "Looking at this size, is it a child?"

Who knew that after hearing his words, he saw Concubine Jing knelt down and said with trepidation: "The emperor forgives the sins, the concubine...... The concubine is embroidered for the ...... of the secular mage"

Hearing this name, the emperor was puzzled at first, obviously not remembering who the secular mage was.

But after only a moment, he reacted and asked, "You mean, the sixth child?"

The little emperor's grandson was only three days old and was carried to the temple, handed over to the master in the temple to be accepted as an apprentice, and the Buddha name was taken away.

I hadn't heard anything about him in these days, and the emperor didn't remember that he had a little grandson who was a monk. No matter what, it was also sent to the temple, and it was still for the Jiangshan Sheji of Western Chu, so when he thought about it, the emperor inevitably felt a little guilty.

Looking at Jing Concubine's gaze, she was also a little gentler: "You get up, I don't blame you." I was strange before, but the lotus leaves embroidered on my belly pocket are now understood. The lotus is the flower of the Buddha. ”

Concubine Jing nodded, stood up with the strength of the emperor's support, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine knows that she shouldn't have done this, the secular mage is already an outsider, and she shouldn't have anything to do with the concubine anymore." But...... In the concubine's heart, there is always some unbearable feeling, he is the grandson of the concubine. ”

If she didn't, the emperor would have thought she was ruthless. But seeing Concubine Jing like this, the emperor could understand, because he nodded and said: "I understand your thoughts, and when the monk enters the palace to give a lecture another day, I will ask him to bring the child." ”

After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Jing was overjoyed and said: "Thank you emperor, it's just that there will be no violations in this way." ”

She was so cautious, but she touched the emperor, because she held her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, how can I ever make a mistake in doing things?

What's more, Gu Mingjue has performed well during this time, although this child has been converted to Buddhism, he is still his son in the end, how can the blood relatives of the heavenly family be cut off.

Thinking of this, the emperor caressed Concubine Jing a few more words, and then asked, "It's already noon, why don't you pass food here?"

Hearing this, Concubine Jing reacted as if she had just reacted, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve the food.

She herself waited for the emperor to sit in front of the table, poured him a cup of tea, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, let's take a sip of tea first, and the meal will be good for a while." ”

The emperor took it and took a sip, and immediately felt that the tea was full of fragrance, which made him full of praise.

Concubine Jing just lowered her eyes and smiled at this, but when she didn't overdo it, it was a little more ghostly.

......

Before Gu Mingyuan returned to the mansion, the reward had already arrived first.

After getting the maid's gift, Qin Huaiyu changed his clothes and came out to receive the order, and saw the big eunuch in red constantly congratulating: "Congratulations to the princess, this is the emperor's reward, saying that the prince has made a meritorious contribution to solving the case recently, and I hereby commend it." ”

The inner eunuch was followed by several little eunuchs, each holding a reward in his hand, although it was covered with a red cloth, but he had a register in his hand.

Qin Huaiyu took the roster and took a look, only to see that there were indeed a lot of rare treasures on it, which showed that the emperor had spent a lot of money to reward him. The doubts in her heart deepened a little, and she asked with a smile, "I don't know where the prince is now?"

It stands to reason that Gu Mingyuan also entered the palace at that time, and now that he counts the time, it won't be that he hasn't come back yet, right?

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, the inner eunuch suddenly smiled and said: "Back to the princess, the snow is heavy on the road, and the prince's carriage is slower, so the slave will run an errand for the saint first and send the gift to you." ”

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu understood a little, but he was confused about when it happened in the palace.

With a smile on her face, she suppressed her doubts in her heart, and turned to give Jinshu a look.

Simply wait for Gu Mingyuan to come back, and ask him if he doesn't understand, but at the moment, this eunuch has to do enough courtesy.

Jin Shu understood, and immediately took a small purse full of gold and silver with a smile, and saluted with a smile: "There is a father-in-law Lao who is running this trip, let's go in and have a cup of tea." ”

She said as she handed the purse over.

The inner attendant naturally smiled and waved his hand, and rejected the small purse, so he refused three or four times, and finally Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "Father-in-law came to have a hard trip, and now it is the beginning of the storm, so let's buy wine and eat." ”

After getting Qin Huaiyu's words, the inner eunuch accepted it, and his mouth was full of thanks.

However, when he put away his purse, he weighed it invisibly, and the smile in his eyes became more and more real.

"The miscellaneous family just came to send a reward at the behest of the emperor, and now that the errand of the miscellaneous family has been completed, it is not appropriate to stay longer, the palace is still waiting for the errand, and the princess will stay." ”

Seeing that the inner prison was leaving, Qin Huaiyu didn't keep it, and ordered Jinshu to give it away.

After the inner chamberlain saluted, he walked out with the brocade book. Qin Huaiyu glanced at the dazzling array of rewards on display, called Mama Zhou to come over, and asked her to lead the maid to collect all these things in the warehouse.

After finishing this, I saw Gu Mingyuan coming back.

"Say hello to the prince. ”

The maids and ladies in the room saluted together, Gu Mingyuan waved his hand to let them get up, and he got up to hand over the big man to the maid, looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked, "Then the inner attendant is gone?"

Qin Huaiyu nodded in response, ordered his subordinates to go out, and asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong in the palace, when you left earlier, I looked at the inner eunuch's face was not very good, but I was beaming at this time." ”
