Chapter 146: Disappointment
In the small teahouse near the Ding'an Hou Mansion, Feng Hua looked at the letter on the table: "Are you sure you don't send it yourself?" ”
Xiao Qian said: "Recently, I have a little too many tails behind me, so I won't go." ”
He really wanted to go, especially today.
Today, when he knelt on the cold floor tiles of Chenhua Palace, his heart was chilling, and it was precisely because he thought of her that he felt that there was still a little warmth that belonged to him in this world.
"I can cut off the tail for you."
"Forget it, let them follow, they will keep an eye on me, and they won't pay attention to others." Xiao Qian disagreed.
Feng Hua put away the letter: "Okay, then I'll go back and hand it over." ”
Xiao Qian nodded, and called Feng Hua again: "You didn't tell her about last night, did you?" ”
Feng Hua thought for a while, as if she was considering something: "Your Highness, I plan to follow her in the future." ”
She is a person who likes to talk openly, and she clearly told Her Highness that she was going to recognize Lin Yanyan as the master, and she was not His Highness's subordinate anyway, she was just temporarily called by His Highness to help.
"Therefore, in the future, I can listen to you for anything that is good for her, and I can only listen to her for other things."
Xiao Qian was slightly stunned, and then said slightly: "I called you here, that's what I wanted." ”
Back then, he saved their brother and sister and didn't want them to repay him for anything, it was Feng Ling who voluntarily recognized him as the master, and Feng Hua was sexually free and didn't like restraint, he couldn't order Feng Hua to do what he had to do, he just sent Feng Hua to Yan Yan's side, if Yan Yan could accept Feng Hua it would be the best.
Feng Hua laughed: "It seems that I was calculated by His Highness." ”
Xiao Qian said: "I just created an opportunity for you, this is not called calculation." ”
"That's right, if you want to send a message to me in the future, I'm still happy to be your matchmaker."
The corners of Xiao Qian's lips hooked up a faint smile: "Thank you." ”
After Fenghua left, Xiao Qian also paid the bill and went home.
As soon as he entered the door, Feng Ling told him that the Fourth Highness had come down and was waiting for him in the study.
Xiao Qian frowned slightly, turned his head and went to the study.
"Fourth brother."
"Tenth brother, you're back, have you ever eaten?"
"I ate it, and I ate it with my brothers in the Yamen."
"Your sister-in-law made you some jerky, you take it with you, in case you are busy and can't take care of eating, you can pad your stomach." Xiao Qing pointed to the food box on the table.
Xiao Qian glanced at the food box, the fourth sister-in-law had never cared about him so much, the fourth brother had also been in the army, and he liked to eat jerky, presumably the fourth sister-in-law made it for the fourth brother, and the fourth brother used it to give him a favor.
"Then thank you to the fourth sister-in-law." Xiao Qian was polite but detached.
Xiao Qing was accustomed to the cold attitude of the tenth brother anyway, and he didn't take it to heart, and hesitated to speak: "Today you were wronged by your mother's concubine, the fourth brother has already talked to her mother, and she also realizes that she owes you, tenth brother, don't resent your mother, she used to favor the harem, once she suffers from the cold, it is inevitable that she can't accept it, she has to find something to vent the loss in her heart, but she shouldn't blame you." ”
Xiao Qian didn't believe that just a few words from the fourth brother could change his mother's attitude towards him, I was afraid that because his father left him to have lunch in Zichen Palace, his mother felt that he had been appreciated and favored by his father, so he was reluctant to compromise temporarily.
This kind of compromise is to say that it is to take advantage of it, not to accept it sincerely.
"Fourth brother doesn't have to worry about the relationship between me and my mother, I've been here for so many years, I've long been used to it, and I'll be fine in the future." Xiao Qian still had an indifferent and detached tone.
Xiao Qing was stunned: "Actually, you and your mother's temper are the same, they are so strong." ”
Xiao Qianxin said: He is not as unreasonable as his mother.
"Okay, you've been busy for a day, the fourth brother won't delay your rest, you work hard in Shuntian Mansion, and if you need anything, come to the fourth brother." Xiao Qing got up and said.
In fact, he really wanted to inquire about what his father and the tenth brother said when they had dinner together, but he knew that the tenth brother was very sensitive, if he asked, the tenth brother would suspect his intentions, so he couldn't help but ask, as long as the two brothers enhanced their relationship in the future, so that the tenth brother could fully trust him, it was better than anything else.
At this time, the emperor who had dinner took a walk after dinner and came to Zhu Guifei's Guanghua Palace, and Zhu Guifei made a pot of the emperor's favorite Longjing tea for the emperor.
"Your Majesty, but I haven't been here for some days, and the concubine has been here." Zhu Guifei complained.
The emperor smiled: "Isn't Lone coming?" You also know that the country is busy with affairs for a while. ”
Zhu Guifei said angrily: "Is there a time when Your Majesty is not busy? ”
The emperor smiled bitterly: "You are so good at being the Ninety-Five Supreme?" Every day when you open your eyes, you can't get enough to do. ”
"Your Majesty, the princes are all older, and they have reached the age where they can share it for Your Majesty, especially the old ten, who looks at him quietly on weekdays, but this time he actually handled such a beautiful case, Han'er said that His Majesty should reward him heavily."
The emperor glanced at Zhu Guifei: "He is arrogant, and he has to sharpen his heart." ”
Zhu Guifei smiled: "It's that everyone will be mistaken, and Your Majesty doesn't care about Lao Shi." ”
"This kid, it's quite pitiful to say, today I saw him scolded by his mother again, and it was time for dinner, and he didn't even have a place to eat." The emperor sighed.
This can be regarded as a vague response, why did he ask Lao Shi to go to Zichen Hall for lunch at noon today, didn't Zhu Guifei knock on the side to inquire about this?
Zhu Guifei said: "Sister Xian is indeed too much for Lao Shi, and the concubine has persuaded her a few times, but she can't listen." ”
"She's just that kind of temper, and she's very awkward about what she thinks."
"Change the concubine and persuade her well, otherwise the old ten will be really pitiful."
"It's still the concubine who is reasonable, distinguishes between right and wrong, and is lonely and can't see the dejected appearance of the old ten."
The emperor drank two cups of tea and left, and Concubine Zhu sent it outside the palace. Looking at the emperor's distant back, the gentle smile in Zhu Guifei's eyes gradually became cold.
Let's just say, how did the emperor think of asking Lao Shi to go to Zichen Hall for dinner, it turned out that he couldn't see Lao Shi's pitiful appearance.
The emperor went to the imperial garden and let the entourage stay where they were, leaving only Cao Quan to follow.
"Cao Quan, it seems that this lunch has made the hearts of the people in the palace float." The emperor scoffed. No one has ever mentioned Lao Shi before, I'm afraid I can't think of Lao Shi, and now even the concubine has Lao Shi on her lips.
Cao Quan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you really want to hand over that matter to His Royal Highness the Ten?" ”
The emperor knew what Cao Quan meant, why didn't he hand over the errand to the Seven Towns Division?
The emperor sighed, and there was an unfathomable darkness in his eyes: "This matter is the safest only for Lao Shi to do, Cao Quanna, it's been five years, what has become of the officials of the two Guangzhou, and the Seven Towns Department supervises hundreds of officials, but they haven't noticed it at all, is it really not noticed?" ”
Cao Quan's expression was grim.
"It's either a dereliction of duty, or even the Seven Towns Division is involved." The emperor said with great disappointment.
It is unimaginable that the Seven Towns Division established by himself ended up in cahoots with corrupt officials and traitorous ministers and thieves, and the Seven Towns Division could not be trusted and could not be used.
