Chapter 60: Peaks and Loops

"What kind of young talent is him, if it doesn't suit his heart, I don't want to marry." Le An's pretty face was raised, and he looked proud.

"Le'an, don't be rude!" The eldest princess of Ningchang immediately scolded, and then turned to the concubine, "Don't be surprised, Niangniang, she is a child's heart, and she has been spoiled by me, as for family affairs, I also told her father that it is time to find it slowly, if he has a good future, he will definitely come to report to Niangniang and be the master of Le'an." ”

Speaking of which, the concubine had nothing to say, so she nodded and responded.

The eldest princess of Ningchang changed the topic in a timely manner: "What did you say to Yu Jieyu just now, you are so happy." ”

"I said I'm going to make an egg tart." Bringing up the topic just now, Le'an was happy again.

"Tart, what's that?"

"My daughter is also curious." Le An jumped up and ran towards Yin Lingyuan again, "It must be as delicious as a cake." ”

The eldest princess of Ningchang looked at her daughter, and she smiled helplessly and dotingly, and naturally loved Yin Lingyuan.

It's not so comfortable in the eyes of others: "Yu Jieyu and the county lord are meeting for the first time, so close so soon, it's really envious of others." Concubine Rong raised her voice, in front of her relatives and nobles, she would not be presumptuous, but there was inevitably a hint of vinegar in her words.

Who doesn't know that the eldest princess of Ningchang has a noble status, and Le'an is very loved by the emperor, how many people want to get close to one or two, but let Yin Lingyuan do it so easily.

"Yes", Yin Lingyuan didn't let it at all, "Although the concubine is a long county lord, the age difference is less, so she is naturally more in love." ”

This means that Concubine Rong is old, and she wants to be angry when she hears it, but she can only endure it as much as she can.

"The county lord likes to eat pastries, it just so happens that there is a new chef in the palace a few days ago, and he makes new pastries when he is in the first hand, if the county lord is free, he may as well come to Shunkang Palace often." Concubine Yi invited with a smile.

Le'an was very disdainful: "I'm tired of eating the pastries in the palace, and I'm still my uncle (mother)...... The new dim sum made by Yu Niangniang is the most delicious. ”

Yin Lingyuan was speechless, it turned out that this girl just called herself a little aunt on purpose!

"Yes", Concubine Yi's face remained unchanged, and she praised "Yu Jieyu is indeed the best at these new things, even the emperor praises it." ”

"Hmph." Le'an was very proud, as if the person who was praised was her.

"Speaking of Yu Jieyu, I forgot to tell you", the concubine looked at Yin Lingyuan, "The emperor mentioned to the palace a few days ago that he wanted to abolish the five northern institutes, and the palace is not in good health these days, because you proposed it, so I will leave it to you." ”

Yin Lingyuan's spirit was shocked, Qi Ye had figured it out? It's a rarity.

"I don't know what Yu Jieyu thinks?" The concubine asked again.

"The concubine must be done well, and live up to the trust of the emperor and the concubine." Yin Lingyuan replied loudly.

At night, all the ladies sacrificed the double star, begging for blessings, and the daughters of the boudoir to be married in each family put out their own clever things, and a competition, the miniature palace wood carving of Le'an won the first place without accident, and everyone congratulated themselves.

At the end of the feast, the long incense bridge was incinerated, symbolizing that the Cowherd and Vega had walked across the incense bridge and met happily.

The next day, Yin Lingyuan began to deal with the layoffs of the North Fifth Institute, and the specific regulations had to be dealt with with in detail from the concubine.

The inner court took out a sum of silver, and the women of the five northern institutes were all voluntary, and those who were willing to leave the palace were given 1,000 taels of silver each, which was used as flowers to make a living outside.

If you don't want to go out, you can continue to stay in the North 5th Institute to be a female picker.

In this way, Qi Ye can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and Yin Lingyuan obtained a voucher from the concubine and used it as a voucher for withdrawing silver.

Out of Ningshou Palace, go straight to the North Fifth Institute, Leng might as well be stopped: "Sister Yu is a good means, she hasn't sealed the concubine yet, so she can help the Guifei Niangniang Director." ”

Yin Lingyuan turned around, and Concubine Sun's chubby face was full of sarcasm.

"Sister Sun also wants to intervene?"

"Don't dare", Concubine Sun's eyes were about to roll to the sky, "The emperor personally opened his mouth and let his sister deal with this matter, how dare this palace interfere without authorization." ”

"In that case, then the concubine will leave, and there are still a lot of things to be busy with over there in the North Five Institutes." Yin Lingyuan lightly blessed, ignored Sun Concubine's yin and yang weirdness, turned around and walked away.

Although Concubine Sun deliberately found fault, there are many people who think like her.

Fighting for power and profit, not only between men, but also between women, concubines and concubines compete for favor, why not fight for power?

The harem concubine is in charge of the six palaces, and there is only one name difference between her and the queen. Concubine Rong is favored, Concubine Yi has heirs, and she helps Concubine Guifei to assist in the six palaces, all of which are worthy of words.

The rest of the concubines, regardless of their status, are just managed by others.

Whether it is the allocation of silver, or the promotion and punishment of the people in his palace, no matter how big or small, he has to inform the directors of the people.

Moreover, the benefits that can be obtained from the silver objects handled here and again are not imaginable by outsiders.

Therefore, the concubine is not feeling well, and the matter is not handed over to Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi to deal with, but to Yin Lingyuan, how can she not let the people in the harem be jealous.

But Yin Lingyuan didn't care about this, she went to the North Five Institutes by herself, announced the emperor's will, and asked someone to clean up a side room, bring a table, pen and ink to set up.

"Today is the eighth day of the seventh month, give everyone a month to consider, if anyone wants to go out, just come here to register for the record, stay until the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and release them out of the palace together. Another registrant will be issued a voucher, and when the time comes, he can receive 1,000 taels of silver, which is the emperor's reward for the people who give the palace a living fee. ”

As soon as the news came out, several families were happy and a few worried, such as Zhang's and Hong'er's natural joy, they didn't expect Yin Lingyuan to do what he said, he signed up on the spot, received a voucher, and only waited until the day to get out of the palace, just another month, Hong'er's legs and feet can almost recover.

The two women who were humiliated with Chuncao that day also registered on the spot and expressed their willingness to leave the palace.

And a girl with a slight posture like Su Mei is unwilling.

They are young and beautiful, thinking that with their appearance, they will one day be able to win the emperor's favor again, and then they will be concubines and concubines, and they will be able to ascend to the sky in one step.

"Does the emperor really dislike us like this?" As soon as Su Mei opened her mouth, she had a sad and complaining tone, she was the girl who came to Qi Ye that day and came out to talk to Qi Ye.

"That's not right", Yin Lingyuan smiled, "The emperor said, it's all voluntary to go and stay, if you don't want to go out, naturally no one will force you." ”

Su Mei pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The registration office is located in the North Fifth Institute, every day when the hour arrives, since someone goes to be on duty, Yin Lingyuan began to arrive every day for three days, and then went every other day to understand the progress.

With the passage of time, the later it was, the fewer the new people, there were more than 20 women in the North Five Institutes, and by the end of July, there were 17 people registered out of the palace, and there was no name of spring grass on it.

"Master Yu, but you think there's something wrong?" The little eunuch in charge of registration frowned at her and asked cautiously.

Yin Lingyuan shook his head: "Are these people willing to go out by themselves?" ”

"It's all voluntary," said the little eunuch, "and some individuals can see that they have made a lot of determination, but it's all voluntary. ”

"Yes." Yin Lingyuan nodded.

"The servants are almost the same," the little eunuch added, "and these are the only ones who are willing to go out, and the rest are still hopeful." ”

Yin Lingyuan didn't say anything, put down the roster and prepared to leave.

When I reached the door, I heard a familiar call: "Miss." ”

This voice and title, she didn't have to look back to know who it was.

Chuncao came from behind and knelt in front of Yin Lingyuan: "I haven't saved Miss Xie that day." ”

"You get up", Yin Lingyuan glanced at her, "That day was just a coincidence, not you, I will still make a move." He said as he bypassed her and prepared to leave.

"Miss!" Chuncao hugged her leg all of a sudden, lowered her head and choked up: "I know that Miss should be very disgusted with me, when I was at home in the past, I relied on Miss to be soft-hearted, and I took care of it everywhere, after entering the palace, Miss was in trouble, and I abandoned you again, and I was favored later, and I didn't care about the past feelings, the villain was ambitious, and tried to press Miss in vain, and now I have fallen to this point, which can be regarded as my retribution." ”

Yin Lingyuan was silent, she couldn't understand the meaning of the spring grass this time, so she simply asked directly: "Do you have something to ask me?" ”

"Miss", Chuncao raised her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down: "I know that the emperor should be very tired of me, even if he stays in the palace, he is just waiting for death, so Chuncao wants to leave." ”

Yin Lingyuan was puzzled, she clearly bought the name of Chuncao on the roster: "If you want to leave, you have to sign up, why do you want to come to me?" ”

"Miss knows, I was originally a slave of the Yin family, and Lao Ziniang has served in the house all my life, even if I beg to go today, the involvement of my parents and brothers cannot be broken."

Yin Lingyuan understood: "Do you want to ask me to exempt them from slavery and go with you?" ”

Chuncao nodded: "The emperor is gracious, reward a thousand taels of silver to settle down, I want to take this money to the countryside, buy two acres of thin fields, buy a house, brother and sister-in-law may be able to do some small business, and the family will live a stable life." ”

"It's rare for you to think like that." Yin Lingyuan said.

Chuncao cried again: "I used to be sorry for you a lot, and I knew that I shouldn't have begged you again, but you should be, just look at the love that we grew up together since childhood, and help me this last time, Chuncao begs you, Miss, Chuncao begs you." ”

She hugged Yin Lingyuan's legs and cried, at this time the sky was getting cold, and Yin Lingyuan felt that the soaked place on her legs was cold and uncomfortable.

"Alright, you get up first." As soon as she spoke, Bao Sheng couldn't help but pick up the spring grass, and the latter looked at her expectantly.

"I said it when you left Yinghua Palace that day, and we have nothing to do with each other from now on", Yin Lingyuan said this, seeing Chuncao's face could not hide his disappointment, and his voice changed again: "But since you said that you have grown up in love, I promised to help you this last time, I will give the second brother a book, as for whether it can be done, it depends on your creation." ”
