"That's it......" Lin Ruo covered her mouth and snickered, when she was in the Lin Mansion, every time she cooked, Lin Qi would always sneak into the kitchen to steal food, and now she is in charge of the gluttonous sea, and she is like a mouse who has fallen into a rice bowl!
Thinking of Lao Liang's appearance of being so angry that he jumped to his feet, Lin Ruo shook his head helplessly, "You talk to Lao Liang and ask him to prepare an extra new dish and let the young owner taste it first." Tell Xiao Qi again, let him praise Lao Liang a few more words, as for how to praise ......"
Lao Qi was stunned, and then said: "It is worthy of being a young lady!" The subordinates know what to do. ”
"What else?"
Lao Qi looked at Lin Ruo's deep gaze and bowed his head slightly: "Regarding the matter of the Star Picking Tower, the master wants to find an opportunity to talk to the young lady in detail." ”
Lin Ruo nodded: "I also have this intention." After a day or two, I will go back to the Lin Mansion and talk to my uncle. Don't be in a hurry, you tell your uncle and let him be relieved. ”
"Yes." Lao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and responded calmly.
"By the way, Brother Jiu is married, the gift that should be sent to the Meng family, you can help me prepare it." Lin Ruo raised his head and looked at Lao Qi.
Such a gaze made Lao Qi's heart skip a beat: "Young Miss, this ......"
"You have been following Brother Jiu before, and you should know his likes and dislikes very well."
Lao Qi hurriedly knelt down: "Young Miss, subordinates ......"
"Get up," Lin Ruo said lightly, "I know that you have been reporting my situation to Brother Jiu, it is not a big deal, and I will not take it to heart." It's just that Meng Jiugong's eyes can't tolerate me, and you should understand. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understood......"
Lao Qi broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. This is the opportunity given to him by the young lady, and he understands.
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and the voice of the grass came: "Miss." ”
Lin Ruowen said, "Come in." ”
Youcao Shi Shiran entered the door, saluted the old seven jaws, and then said to Lin Ruo: "Miss, the snacks that I ordered the kitchen to prepare have been prepared and packed in the food box, and Ah Fu asked people to send them to the carriage of the seventh housekeeper." There's also one for you to keep, Miss. ”
Lin Ruo nodded: "Okay." ”
Youcao looked at Lao Qi, then turned her gaze back to Lin Ruo, and her tone was a little hesitant: "Miss, don't you really need to prepare lunch for you and the prince today?" There hasn't been news from the palace yet, and the prince hasn't asked anyone to come back with a message......"
"No need, within half an hour, the palace will definitely send someone to pass on the emperor's message."
Lin Ruo looked out of the door, his eyes dark. Her affirmative tone didn't completely unravel Youcao's doubts. But Lao Qi nodded at Youcao, making her believe in the young lady's judgment. The grass said no more.
In the palace at this time, as Lin Ruo expected, the emperor summoned the crown prince, King Ye, King Rong and several cabinet chiefs and assistants to the imperial study to discuss important matters.
The Privy Council received an urgent military message from the northern garrison this morning, and learned of everything that happened in Danzhou: someone had discovered a gold mine in the wilderness of Danzhou, and the news spread, attracting a large number of officials and civilians to dig for gold; After hearing the news, the Beiqi cavalry raised troops to loot and clashed with the Daiguo army stationed in Danzhou many times, which may endanger the safety of the northern border of Donglu.
Emperor Mingzong's eyes looked at Murong Chong, fortunately, he had previously strengthened the border defense in the north to deal with the harassment of Beiqi, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the iron cavalry of Beiqi and the increase of troops in Daiguo with only the border guards in the north. This No. 1 general of Donglu has always wanted to find an opportunity to conquer Beiqi and avenge his father, and for him, this is a great opportunity.
Looking at the other newspaper in his hand, Emperor Mingzong's brows couldn't help frowning: the area where the gold mine was discovered, the entire vast land of Danzhou, actually belonged to a person he couldn't have imagined - his personal lord of Minhui County, the concubine of King Rong's Murong Chong, Lin Ruo!
What does it mean to have a title deed to a large expanse of land on enemy territory?
Emperor Mingzong's face sank, and he had no intention of listening to the chatter and arguments of the crown prince, King Ye, and the head of the cabinet, so he sent them all out of the imperial study, leaving only Murong Chong alone, threw the newspaper in front of him, and said calmly: "See for yourself!" ”
Murong Chong bent down, picked up the newspaper in front of him, and after reading it, his face showed surprise: "This ...... It's ......"
Emperor Mingzong sneered: "King Rong, you won't tell me, you don't know that the name of Minhui is written on the title deed of Danzhou!" When Lin Qian married his niece to your mansion, these were all written on Minhui's dowry! ”
Murong Chong calmed down from his surprise, knelt on the ground and saluted, "The minister really doesn't know. The emperor knew that the housekeeping of the palace was taken care of by the old housekeeper of the palace, and Aruo's dowry was also registered by the old housekeeper and included in the treasury. After Ah Ruo got married, she presided over the whole palace, and the ministers really didn't know about the land deed. ”
Emperor Mingzong knew that what Murong Chong said was true, after so many years of fighting on the battlefield, he really never took care of the internal affairs of the palace, so when Lin Ruo proposed to marry King Rong, the emperor also thought that Lin Ruo was suitable to take care of the affairs of the palace for Murong Chong. But now, how to explain the title deed of this enemy country?
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Mingzong raised his voice and ordered: "Come here, go to King Rong's Mansion to spread my message, and invite Princess Rong to enter the palace!" ”
The old eunuch Chen Guan immediately received the order to retire, and when he left the imperial study, he recruited a little eunuch and went to King Rong's mansion to pass the message.
Emperor Mingzong would never have thought that Lin Ruo had already expected that he would issue an order to summon her into the palace.
Everything is developing in the direction that Lin Ruo is determined.
Youcao lowered her head, not letting the father-in-law from the palace see the surprise on her face and her admiration for her young lady. She silently followed behind Lin Ruo, listening to her ask about the reason for entering the palace as usual.
The little eunuch who passed the message was not the one who served Emperor Mingzong in close proximity to the emperor, but he was reminded by Chen Guan, and he did not dare to slack off, and when there was no one, he told Chen Guan to tell the truth about Princess Rong's words.
"Gonggong Chen asked the slave to tell the princess that the emperor's mood is not very good, and please be careful with the princess."
Although Lin Ruo had expected these for a long time, he still cooperated with a surprised look, thanked the little eunuch for a few words, and asked Youcao to secretly stuff a money bag with a lot of weight.
The little eunuch naturally smiled, respectfully greeted Lin Ruo into the carriage, and sent Lin Ruo to the door of the imperial study, and couldn't help but remind him again, seeing that Lin Ruo was already clear, he handed the news inside, and then retired.
The tranquility of the imperial study is particularly depressing at this moment.
Lin Ruo walked in alone, only the rustle of the skirt dragging across the ground. Yu Guang glanced at Murong Chong's solemn face, stopped, knelt in front of the imperial case and bowed: "Minhui participates in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Emperor Mingzong's face was gloomy, and he looked coldly at Lin Ruo, who was bowing on the ground, and did not speak for a long time. And Lin Ruo was really calm and silent, just maintaining a prostrate posture, motionless.
