She naturally knew that Lady Gu and Lady Yan had received those red envelopes, she never scolded them, never used palace rules to restrain them, she was happy to listen to them tell about the troubles of those little people, so that she could really feel that she was really alive, and she could feel that ordinary people in this ordinary world also had their own desires in their hearts. Even she would sometimes discuss these things with the two female officers, to see what she could say to His Majesty, and to amuse him.

When Sima Yao came in, Miaoyin had already finished her makeup, she was sitting by the mirror platform watching her outfit, her smooth black hair was coiled on her head like silk satin, and she was only fixed with a few hostas, her face was in full bloom, and her every move was full of charm, which was a coquettishness that a young girl could not do, firmly attracting the emperor's attention.

Lady Gu had already retired, and dinner was naturally to be prepared, and the emperor must have not eaten at this hour.

It's just that whether this dinner will become a supper depends on how long the two have been obsessed.

The emperor smiled and sat on the ground with her, and with one hand he tore off Miaoyin's hairpin ring, and the ink hair like a waterfall scattered all over the ground, Miaoyin looked at the long hair with pity, and sighed slightly.

Sima Yao hugged her and asked seriously, "Why is the concubine sighing?" ”

Miao Yin replied honestly: "Lady Gu worked hard to comb my hair, and it took at least half an hour to comb it, and the emperor broke it up as soon as you came, and I feel sorry for her." ”

When the emperor saw that she was lovely, he replied very happily: "Concubine Ai is really considerate. Since I am the king of a country, I naturally can't let her work in vain, and I will give her two gold ingots in a while, do you think? ”

Miao Yin smiled coquettishly: "It's good, it's good, but it seems that the concubines are begging for rewards for the slaves and maids, how can the emperor reward the concubines?" ”

Sima Yao couldn't wait to break off the moon in the sky and give it to her, and hurriedly promised: "What reward does the concubine want?" I'm up to you. ”

Miao Yin tilted her head and thought about it, and the smooth long hair flowed to the side, looking very affectionate and moving.

Sima Yao looked at her intently, her face was intoxicated, and her eyes finally lit up, and she begged with a smile: "The emperor has given enough things to the concubines, and the concubines' houses are almost unfitted, so there is no need to add more." It's just that there is a slave in this Zhaoyang Palace who has always been disrespectful to me, I want her life, is the emperor willing to reward me? ”

She prayed to the emperor mischievously, as if a human life was just a toy, so cheap, so worthless.

Sima Yao heard that she was just a slave, so she was relieved, and said arrogantly: "I want you, come, bring a pen and paper, and I will give an edict." ”

Miao Yin smiled: "How can you be in such a hurry, but this slave is a female official Cai who serves in Sister Zhang's palace, is the emperor also willing to reward me for this grace?" ”

Sima Yao's face changed, no one knew Cai Nushi's status in Zhang Guiren's heart better than him, for her, Zhang Guiren once did not hesitate to admit that he had conspired to poison Miaoyin. ”

He could only laugh and try to ease the matter, and persuaded her: "What is there to be angry with the same slave? Why don't you call her over right now and give you a beating to get angry? ”

Miao Yin said unhappily: "Naturally, it's good, but do you want to keep her alive after the fight?" ”

Sima Yao smiled awkwardly and coaxed her, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to go hunting ground to ride a horse?" Shall I take you tomorrow? ”

Miao Yin saw that the emperor was unwilling to embarrass Zhang Guiren no matter what, and she was also very uneasy, although the emperor never went to Zhang Guiren, but he did not punish her in any way, such special treatment is really unique in the palace.

If you are still obsessed with her life, it will be too embarrassing for the emperor, Miaoyin will accept it when she sees it, and smile coquettishly: "The emperor's order is out, you can't regret it anymore, tomorrow you can say that it's hot or something to prevaricate the concubine." ”

Sima Yao was relieved to see that she was really distracted, and hurriedly promised her that he would never break his word.

As Xie Xuan, the commander of the Beifu Army, returned to Beijing to guard his filial piety due to the funeral, the rumors that the Beifu Army was about to change hands were like a prairie fire, intensifying.

This army was originally recruited from the people, and most of the senior generals were promoted by Xie Xuan, and many of them were from poor families, because of the accumulated military merits, they have reached their current high positions step by step.

If the commander of the Beifu army is replaced at this time, the new commander will definitely install his cronies, and these high-ranking generals will bear the brunt of being replaced, so the garrisons of Pengcheng, Guangling, and Jingkou are all fluctuating in the hearts of the people, and if there is no one to appease them for a long time, there will be changes in the army.

After Xie Xuan knew about this situation, he immediately went out of Beijing to go to the army to be bombarded, Xie Yan was worried about his body, and persuaded: "Your illness is only slightly improving, if you run around these three places, you will inevitably be tired and your illness will be aggravated, what can you do?" ”

Xie Xuan said with a straight face: "Uncle's last order is not to give up the Northern Expedition easily, if the army's heart is shaken, don't talk about the Northern Expedition, even if it is partial to Jiangdong, there is a danger of being invaded." Therefore, even if I give up my life, I must go. ”

Xie Yan just persuaded: "Soon, the emperor will order that Wang Gong to lead the troops, this is something we can't stop, even if you get to the army, how can you convince those restless sergeants and generals?" So it's something we can't do anymore. ”

Xie Xuan also felt that it was very difficult to do, even if he went, those people might be able to settle down for a while because of their own prestige, and they would not be able to convince Wang Gong to be their coach for a long time, so what was the use of going by himself?

He asked sincerely, "Is there anything you can do?" ”

Xie Yan said: "This matter can only fall on Wang Gong, and only if Wang Gong promises not to move a soldier and not change generals at will, can it be possible to calm this commotion." But at this time, Wang Gong's appointment has not been issued, and this matter is also difficult to implement. ”

Xie Xuan said: "I heard that the emperor has secretly recalled Wang Gong back to Jiankang, and it seems that the matter of changing the commander is imperative, why don't we go to Wang Gong first and persuade him, do you think it's okay?" ”

This is also feasible, Xie Yan nodded, but pressed him on the couch and said: "I'll go to him, brother, please believe me, I will definitely be able to persuade Wang Gong smoothly, you just wait for my good news." ”

Xie Xuan looked at him with relief and agreed with a smile.

Xie Yan sent a house slave to find Wang Gong, but replied that Wang Gong had gone to Jingkou.

Xie Yan couldn't help frowning, could it be that this was the emperor's intention, let Wang Gong take over secretly first, and then issue an order to catch everyone off guard?
