Chapter 167
"And then?" Xia Rongxin looked at her and motioned for her to continue.
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Since there are ladies and envoys at the state banquet, it is best to hold a dabbling, this is the time to show the prestige of my Heavenly Empire!" The left and right are just a game, the ladies have a good time, and they can also let the envoys see the side of the women of my Celestial Empire. ”
"But... Hunting in the palace... Hongu was always worried that someone would get hurt. Xia Rongxin agrees with this opinion in her heart, there is no better way to do it at the moment, and it can only be so, but when the time comes, if you want to go to the hunting grounds, so many people have to run back and forth, and they have to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet in the palace at night.
"Niang Niang can use a flat-headed arrow!" Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "Take off the arrow and wrap it in red cloth, which is both beautiful and safe." ”
Xia Rongxin lowered her head and thought about it, then nodded and smiled: "Then do as you say." Oops, the matter that has plagued the palace for so long has finally been resolved, and now the palace can give the emperor an explanation. Yun Xi, this palace has a lot of rewards for you! ”
Seeing that Xia Rongxin was so happy, Yun Xi was also happy in her heart: "This is what slaves and maids should do." ”
The most difficult things to do at the moment are all in order, and then we just need to send the Internal Affairs Office to arrange these things in detail.

Lu Huiling copied it for five days in a row to finish copying the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules" ten times, and when Gonggong He came to take these handwritten copies to the emperor, the heavy snow had already melted that day.
"Take it!" Lu Huiling angrily put the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules" that had been copied so the table, "Prison this palace in this Minghua Hall for five days, and the hand of this palace to copy these copies will be broken!" You go and ask the emperor! Is this really what he wants! Isn't the emperor distressed?! ”
Lu Huiling sat on the side angrily, with his back to Gonggong He, his hand tightly clutching the corner of the table, wishing that he could have ten thousand divine powers to tear off the table.
"Niangniang is angry, why should Niangniang embarrass the slave, the slave is also an errand, these are the emperor's intentions, but it has nothing to do with the slave, if the mother has resentment in her heart, the left and right have also lifted the grounding, and the mother can go to the Qinzheng Palace to ask the emperor in person."
He Gonggong is loyal and honest, but it doesn't mean that he can be bullied, but he is also the head of the inner house, in this palace compound, the original Empress Mingxian had to respect him for three points when she was reincarnated, and Concubine Mei never pointed fingers when she asked him to do things, and Lu Huiling, a little girl who was not afraid of tigers, did not know what to do.
He Gonggong was scolded by the emperor because Lu Huiling was going to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet before, and if it weren't for Concubine Mei's intercession, he didn't know if this old bone could withstand the emperor's anger.
In the future, it will be difficult for Lu Huiling to find Father-in-law He again.
Lu Huiling heard the thorns in Grandpa He's words, and felt extremely unhappy: What? The palace has been grounded for a few days, and the sky can be turned up outside, how can you be a eunuch, and dare to talk to the palace like this?
Although Lu Huiling didn't say this, there was a sneer and ridicule in his eyes, and he looked He Gonggong up and down, and then said, "Hey... Anyway, after all, the palace has fallen out of favor now, and Concubine Mei is in the limelight, you are just such dog's tail grass, where the wind blows, it falls. ”
Gonggong He was tired of listening to these words in the early years, and if the concubines in the palace were dissatisfied with the emperor, they were all sent to these slaves who passed the word, they served the emperor closely, for the sake of the emperor's body, and they would not deliberately tell these words to the emperor, so they could only endure it silently.
After all these years, Lu Huiling's words can still be heard now, and those crazy and stupid women in the cold palace are chattering all day long, and Gonggong He has long been used to it.
"How can it, now that is the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, the emperor values Mei Guifei and asks her to help manage the family banquet." If you want to say that the most favored concubine in this palace, you have to be the best concubine. Gonggong He turned his face and smiled again, and said to Lu Huiling.
"Huh! The meaning of Gonggong He's words is not that the palace can't hear it. "Doesn't it mean that she only has a unique skin, and a eunuch dares to laugh at her now that she is not valued by others?
Lu Huiling brushed her nails, raised her hand to look left and right, and then glanced at Gonggong He contemptuously, and said, "Now that you have got the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules", why don't you go back and give the emperor an errand?" Do you want to stay and receive the reward? ”
"Don't dare." Gonggong He nodded and smiled, shook off the dust, and beckoned the eunuch apprentices behind him to take these "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules" away, and said at the end, "The old slave has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and I have never seen any master copy so many and be as neat as Concubine Ming's handwriting, and it is really worthy of Prime Minister Lu Cheng's daughter, this has to have tens of thousands of words, I have to let the emperor take a good look, this other master, but there is no such blessing!" ”
Lu Huiling snorted coldly, unwilling to worry so much about him: "Thank you Gonggong He for complimenting, this palace can't afford it, and I heard that Concubine Mei Guifei also looks good at copying books in the early years." ”
"Mei Guifei is only interested in copying, how can she compare with Concubine Ming, even the punishment is so serious, it is really a pearl and dust." Gonggong He smiled, and everyone present could understand the implication.
Seeing Lu Huiling's angry appearance, Gonggong He was not worried, he just wanted to tell Lu Huiling, for fear that what he said would not be good, so that Lu Huiling would not understand, and it would be in vain.
When Lu Huiling heard this, she was naturally angry and couldn't help herself, her hands were clenched tightly, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, she had been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, she had received more education and experienced more hardships than ordinary official ladies, she was arrogant in her life, she wanted to be the best woman, and she wanted to marry the best man in the world, and now the happy Qi Jingqin has been snatched away by Liang Huanqing, and she is not recognized for her ability in the palace, which is really infuriating!
Seeing that Lu Huiling was speechless by him, Gonggong He naturally hurriedly left, he didn't want to touch her moldy head at this time.
After Grandpa He left, Lu Huiling was almost hysterical.
"Ahh Lu Huiling pushed the tea set on the table to the ground, stood up and pointed at the door and scolded: "What kind of thing is he!" How dare you speak to Hongu like that! Don't want to live! ”
Xu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Lu Huiling: "Don't be angry, don't hurt your body because of him." ”
"Every now and then, you always say a few words! Can you change something new? Lu Hui looked at Xu Lan angrily and said, now that she has a temper, she doesn't care who the other party is, and splitting her head and covering her face is just a scolding.
"These days, let you go to the Qinzheng Palace to deliver pastries and snacks, have you delivered them?!" Lu Huiling glared at Xu Lan and asked.
Now that he has been grounded again, Lu Huiling still wants to follow the example of sending something to Qi Bingyu before so that he can remember his own goodness, and he can order the grounding to be lifted, but now the hand that copied the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules" is about to be broken, where is there still time to write calligraphy and painting notes for Qi Bingyu, so he had to order the small kitchen to make some snacks and send them over, hoping to have the same effect as before.
Xu Lan shrank her head in fright, hurriedly stood aside and lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak, raised her eyes to look at the angry Concubine Ming, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "The slave sent it, but..."
"But then He Sheng Xiao'er won't help you send it in?!" Lu Huiling couldn't stand her being so timid as a mouse, she was obviously so arrogant and domineering, in the days when she walked sideways in the palace, Xu Lan around her was always timid, if it weren't for Xu Lan's service from the beginning to the present, she would have replaced Xu Lan a long time ago.
"No... No. Xu Lan shook her head, glanced at Concubine Ming, and hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Director He sent it in, but the emperor didn't even want to take another look at it, so he took it out, and asked the slave not to send it again..."
Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan in disbelief, and she asked, "How is it possible!" Are you deceiving this palace, the emperor, the emperor loves this palace so much, how can you ignore this palace just because of that little thing, you must be lying to this palace! ”
"!" When Xu Lan heard this, she quickly knelt down and cried and said, "You just give the slave and maid a hundred guts, and the slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are true, this is what Director He told the slave and maid personally, and that scene at that time was indeed the case... The emperor is busy with official business, and the New Year is approaching... This... It's natural..."
Xu Lan didn't know what to say in the end.
Although Lu Huiling looks very much like the dead Empress Mingxian, and because of this, he won Qi Bingyu's debt to Empress Mingxian, so he soared all the way to 90,000 miles, and once favored the harem, but no matter how hot the favor is, no matter how difficult the debt is, there is a deadline, and now it seems that the time limit is approaching, the seizure of power in Xia Rongxin's hands is not the cause, it can only be said to be the fuse.
Lu Huiling began to panic a little: "How can this be, there are still things to be done in this palace, how can the emperor be like this..."
Lu Huiling kept muttering to himself, and finally stood up to walk out.
"Mother, where are you going?!" Xu Lan hurriedly got up and chased after him.
"This palace is going to see the emperor!" Lu Huiling picked up her skirt and walked out.
"Don't go, mother! Empress! Xu Lan shouted loudly, "The slave maid doesn't want to see the tragedy of Empress Mingxian repeat itself in Niangniang!" ”
Lu Huiling suddenly paused, she knew that Xu Lan was the one who had served Empress Mingxian, and when she said this, Lu Huiling was a little worried.
Xu Lan chased after him and said to Lu Huiling: "Niangniang, don't mess up, the emperor is just angry with his mother now, if you make a mess in the past, this is really to push the emperor away!" ”
In the past, Lu Fushuang was also like this, relying on Qi Bingyu to only pamper himself alone, so he made a fuss unscrupulously, and in the end, Qi Bingyu lost his patience and died of depression.
