Chapter 799 - Good intentions but dare not appreciate it
"She's too anxious, isn't she? Fu Lang Zhong has just come back, and Concubine Fang has not passed the door yet, so she wants to toss Fu Lang Zhong? ”
The queen slapped her seat heavily, but she couldn't help but be glad that Concubine Yun was not a prince, otherwise she would have to walk sideways in the harem.
The queen thought for a while and said, "Then you will go to Fu Xiaojiu's house later, and you tell her that the palace invites her to come over for a small gathering when she is free tomorrow." ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
The palace maid withdrew as she spoke, counting the hours and then going to find Fu Xiaojiu.
Fu Xiaojiu thought that the person from the palace was sent by the queen, but he didn't expect that it was Yun Guifei's person.
Fu Xiaojiu was not in a good mood after receiving Yun Guifei's edict.
After the messenger left, Wan Pozi said a little worriedly: "This Yun Guifei is really an anxious person, and she came to you as soon as she heard that you were back." Xiao Jiu, you should be careful when you diagnose Miss Fang's pulse, it is best to push off the errand of protecting her fetus. ”
Fu Xiaojiu didn't want to cause this trouble for herself, if Yun Guifei asked her to protect the princess's fetus, it would be fine, if she asked her to protect Fang Qingqing's fetus, she would never agree.
Wan Lin really waited until it was dark to get home, and Wan Pozi and Wan Laotou pulled him to ask questions again, and at first glance, they just wanted their son to think about it.
Wan Pozi personally made a large table of dishes, they had already eaten them before Wan Lin came back, and as soon as Wan Lin entered the door, Wan Pozi asked Zhuo Hui to heat up the dishes.
Wan Lin chatted with Wan Pozi and them while eating, and chatted with them about the prince's appointment of a side concubine.
Wan Lin also had the same idea as Fu Xiaojiu, thinking that there must be some hidden secrets in this.
Fu Xiaojiu said that although she was going to check Fang Qingqing's pulse tomorrow, she was also going to enter the palace, and the queen also told her to go over to get together when she was free tomorrow, and then she would inquire about the inside story from the queen.
Fu Xiaojiu also asked Wan Lin when Ge Pu's case would start to be tried by the three divisions, and Wan Lin said that this case involved King Huan, and Ge Pu was also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it would take the chief of the three divisions to deliberate carefully before deciding, and it would take about two or three days to start the trial of the three divisions.
Ge Pu's matter has its own three divisions to try it, but Fu Xiaojiu is still worried about one thing.
"Why hasn't the inner ghost who colluded with the water thieves been found yet? Did the inner ghost run away, or was he killed by the water thieves in the fierce battle with the water thieves? ”
Wan Lin was very angry when he mentioned this matter, and he didn't know how this ghost seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there were no clues until now.
Wan Lin said in a resolute tone: "Now that I have returned to Beijing, there are three divisions to try Ge Pu's matter, and I am bound to find out that inner ghost!" Even if he died, he could find clues. I have a feeling that if I don't find him out after returning to Beijing, he may have to do something again. ”
Fu Xiaojiu replied: "I also feel the same way as you, and I also feel that if I don't find him out after returning to Beijing, I will be very unsure." ”
Wan Lin patted Fu Xiaojiu's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, lady, there are many people after returning to Beijing, and you will definitely find that inner ghost." I plan to leave this matter to Dai Hui, he is a talent and should be entrusted with an important task. ”
Fu Xiaojiu also agreed and said: "I also think that Dai Hui is very capable and should be promoted." ”
Speaking of this, Fu Xiaojiu remembered another person, "Did you mention Gong Rui to the sage?" He is also a rare talent, regardless of whether he is Brother Li's person or not, his achievements in this disaster relief should also be rewarded. ”
Wan Lin said in an appreciative tone: "Of course I won't forget such a genius as him. I have already told the saint how much he has helped us. The sage said that he could be promoted exceptionally, and if he wanted to, he would directly promote him to the Ministry of Works and serve in the Ministry of Works. ”
The emperor's appreciation of Gong Rui surprised Fu Xiaojiu.
"The saint wants to appoint him as a squire of the Ministry of Works? He is a showman, and he directly became a four-grade master, which is really an exceptional promotion! ”
Wan Lin said with relief: "The saint is really a generation of famous kings, only looking at people's abilities and not people's origins. To put it mildly, if the saint were not such a wise man, I would not be able to be so young and be able to reach the fourth rank. ”
Fu Xiaojiu suddenly felt a little strange, "How can the sage say that if he wants, he will be promoted to be the squire of the Ministry of Works?" Didn't the saints give a holy decree? ”
Wan Lin replied, "This is the sanctity of the saints. The sage said that a genius like Gong Rui may also have a different personality, in case he doesn't like to be an official, wouldn't it be a constraint to reward him with an official position? Your Majesty asked me to send a message to Gong Rui, just wait for him to say a word, as long as he agrees with Your Majesty, I will give an order, so as not to embarrass him. ”
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the emperor's thoughtful action, "The saint really deserves the word 'saint', and it is really our luck that we have such a monarch in Dachen." ”
After filming the emperor's sycophants, Fu Xiaojiu asked curiously: "What did Gong Rui say?" He wouldn't want to be an official but be embarrassed to say it, right? ”
Wan Lin smiled: "Hehe, Gong Rui is not such a different person. He said that he wanted to be an official, and the squire of the Ministry of Works also met his ideals. I will convey his words to the saints tomorrow. ”
"This Gong Rui is really a person with a true temperament, and I appreciate him more and more! However, he has no foundation, and he parachuted directly into the Ministry of Industry, even if he makes a great contribution, he will inevitably arouse people's jealousy, right? ”
Fu Xiaojiu knows the intrigue in officialdom the most, and he is very afraid that Gong Rui will unknowingly suffer a loss and be calculated.
Wan Lin was not worried about Gong Rui at all, and said with a relaxed face: "Don't think that Gong Rui only studies machinery and doesn't understand the world." He was a wise man, and he would never be calculated. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said again: "Then Brother Li, how can we explain it?" Originally, it was a talent lent to us, but this time it's good, this person has been incorporated by the imperial court, Brother Li won't ask us for someone, right? ”
Wan Lin couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, lady, don't you know Big Brother Li?" As long as we let his people go to higher places, he will not only not blame us for abducting them, but will also thank us! ”
Speaking of Li Dalong, Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but be a little worried.
"I don't know what Brother Li, they are looking for when they come to the capital this time? I don't know if they are still in the capital? ”
Wan Lin was also worried about Li Dalong, "I haven't heard from him since I separated from Big Brother Li, and I'm afraid that he will be sent by King Jie to do something dangerous." But now that we're back, I'll have someone find out about him. ”
When Concubine Yun Guifei asked people to come to deliver the edict to Fu Xiaojiu, she also asked people to go to Fang's house and let Fang Qingqing enter the palace tomorrow morning.
Fang Qingqing thought that it must be a good thing for Concubine Yun Guifei to take the initiative to announce her entering the palace, and then thought that her plan was about to be achieved, and she almost didn't sleep all night with excitement.
After she got up, she wanted to dress more joyfully, and wore a pink skirt to enter the palace, but when Mrs. Fang saw her dress, she asked her to change her clothes.
Old Madam Fang said that she had to be more low-key and humble in front of her, if she was too public, it would make people jealous.
Especially although she is about to become the prince's side concubine, only she knows best how she is the side concubine, if she makes enemies in the palace, no one will help her.
Fang Qingqing immediately listened to the old lady's words, changed into a light blue skirt, and replaced the hairpin on her head that was too conspicuous with the most ordinary silver hairpin.
Fang Qingqing was afraid of bumping into the crown princess before coming to Concubine Yun, she was not afraid of Lu Qiu Guangrui, but it was too embarrassing for the two of them to meet at this time.
Fortunately, she didn't see anyone else when she arrived in front of Yun Guifei, she first saluted Yun Guifei very respectfully, and then asked tentatively: "I don't know what the noble concubine asked the people to do?" I hope that the mother will make it clear. ”
Fang Qingqing deliberately called herself a "people's girl", and Concubine Yun Guifei was very satisfied when she saw her small and low-minded appearance, so she smiled kindly at her.
"You're about to become Zhao'er's side concubine, stop calling yourself a people's daughter, just follow Zhao'er and call it 'Erchen'."
Yun Guifei's attitude towards her was very different from before, Fang Qingqing was flattered and rolled her eyes at Yun Guifei in her heart.
She knew that Yun Guifei was the most hypocritical, and she was also a typical snob.
Fang Qingqing secretly touched her abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and when this child was born, she was about to start her next plan.
"Yes, Erchen remembers the teachings of the noble concubine."
Fang Qingqing said and saluted Yun Guifei again.
Concubine Yun Guifei corrected her again: "Since you call yourself a son-in-law, why don't you call yourself the concubine of this palace?" ”
Fang Qingqing's flattered look made Yun Guifei very useful, and nodded at her slightly.
Fang Qingqing immediately called timidly again: "Mother, concubine." ”
Yun Guifei smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, you have to get used to the change of identity, and don't forget to talk to Zhao'er more after entering the palace, so that he can slowly accept you." ”
Fang Qingqing immediately nodded heavily, and Concubine Yun Guifei told her the intention of letting her enter the palace.
"This palace is very optimistic about you and the child in your belly, so I specially asked Fu Xiaojiu to ask you for a safe pulse, and then asked her to protect your baby. With Fu Xiaojiu's help, your fetus will definitely land safely. ”
"Son-in-law Xie Mother is considerate!"
Fang Qingqing was about to kneel down as she spoke.
Yun Guifei asked people to stop her, "You are pregnant, don't kneel at every turn." There are not so many rules in this palace, and when you come to this palace in the future, you will be exempted from these cumbersome rules. ”
"Yes! Erchen remembered! ”
Fang Qingqing was overjoyed, but she didn't expect Fu Xiaojiu so much.
Because she saw Fu Xiaojiu and Mrs. Luqiu talking very happily at the palace banquet at that time, and she often corresponded with Luqiu Guangrui.
Fang Qingqing decided that Fu Xiaojiu was Lu Qiu Guangrui's person, and letting her protect the fetus was simply asking her to slip the tire for herself!
Fang Qingqing didn't know if Concubine Yun Guifei was intentional or really didn't know, anyway, she didn't dare to accept this love, and she was going to wait for Fu Xiaojiu to come and find a reason to refuse her to protect her pregnancy.
