Chapter Seventy-Three: Wandering in the Clouds

"His Royal Highness King Jing, Your Majesty is not in the palace now, if you have any problems, you should come back another day." Xiao Quanzi has also been the chief eunuch for so long, and he has been perfected in dealing with people.

"I just want a word from Your Majesty, and I ask my father-in-law to make it convenient." Su Jingye hugged his fists politely, and then saw that the doors and windows of the dormitory were closed, and guessed in his heart that Su Yutian was not here, but to get the emperor's whereabouts, he had to reveal it to Xiao Quanzi.

"It's not that our family doesn't want to make it convenient for His Royal Highness King Jing, and please King Jing don't embarrass us as slaves." Xiao Quanzi was slightly hunched from beginning to end, but he spoke relatively toughly.

"Except that Your Majesty took the initiative to find me, every time I come here, you say that Your Majesty has something. If we didn't know that Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, what if we were misled by these words of my father-in-law that Your Majesty was obsessed with wine? ”

In the past few days, Su Jingye came to the emperor, but he was blocked back by the same reason, and as the days went by, no matter how good his patience was, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Xiao Quanzi was almost frightened by his words, and almost couldn't help but cover his mouth, "His Royal Highness King Jing said carefully, this is not nonsense. ”

"My father-in-law is kind, but you can stop me from talking, but you can't stop the mouth of the world." Su Jingye took a step back and kept his distance from Xiao Quanzi.

"How dare our family dare to stop the prince from speaking." Xiao Quan grinned helplessly, but seeing that Su Jingye was still so insistent, he was helpless, so he had to tell the truth.

"Don't tell the truth to the prince, the prince also heard it today, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was so pampered and arrogant, embarrassing His Majesty in the main hall, will Your Majesty not have a little resentment towards him."

Xiao Quanzi shook his head, Su Jingye naturally knew that the emperor was not a person who liked patience, and he was suddenly a little worried, "The forces behind the Ministry of Industry Shangshu are intertwined, this is not the best time to deal with him, and I ask my father-in-law to go back and tell Your Majesty that you must act cautiously." ”

"His Royal Highness King Jing is really worried about the country and the people, and worried about Your Majesty, no wonder Your Majesty has always regarded His Royal Highness King Jing as the minister of the humerus in the court."

Xiao Quanzi's praise did not change his initial thoughts, Su Jingye smiled, "Father-in-law doesn't have to put a high hat on this king like this, this king is not here." If Your Majesty has any troubles, this king can also do things for Your Majesty in the people, so why keep this king here. ”

"My father-in-law hasn't given me a reasonable explanation for the problem." Xiao Quanzi tried to change the topic, but now he was debunked by Su Jingye, and he didn't make any embarrassed look on his face.

"One wins, one loses. His Majesty intends to borrow the hands of others to get the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to agree to the martial arts. "Saying it clearly, Su Jingye figured out the reason at once, and he also knew what the emperor wanted to do now.

"At the end of the crossbow, the bowstring is broken. Your Majesty's trick is very handy. Su Jingye sighed, and Xiao Quanzi bowed to him meaningfully, "His Royal Highness King Jing can just tacitly do it, and there is no need to publicize it to the public." ”

"Now that His Royal Highness King Jing already knows the reason, please forgive His Royal Highness King Jing, before the dust settles, I am afraid that it will be difficult for His Majesty to see you."

"That king can only hope that His Majesty's wish will come true." Su Jingye is now in an awkward position in the court, and once he is angry, no one will be willing to come out to help.

He suddenly envied those simple and good people, who don't have to worry a lot, let go and do it, and those who don't know are fearless. Now that everything is ready, only the last step is missing, but he is folded on the last step, how can people not be resentful.

Su Jingye took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions, "There are many disturbances today, if Your Majesty returns to the palace, please also ask the official to inform Your Majesty about the king's visit today, this king doesn't want Your Majesty to worry about other things." ”

"This is nature, send off His Royal Highness King Jing." Xiao Quanzi is Su Yutian's confidant, how could he listen to Su Jingye's words. Su Jingye said this, just to win a trace of Su Yutian's trust from small things, so as to alleviate the current stiff situation.

"Father-in-law stays." Su Jingye turned to leave, and before stepping out of the palace gate, he glanced at the southwest direction.

There is a Chenglu Hall in the southwest of the palace, which is a sleeping palace for Yun Zhaoyi, who just entered the palace a few months ago. Yun Zhaoyi is the half-sister of Master Gu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and she was favored by Su Yutian as soon as she entered the palace.

Ordinary official women enter the palace from the talent first, and this Yun Zhaoyi only hooked Su Yutian's heart in just a month, and was canonized Zhaoyi two months later. Coupled with Lord Gu's status in the court, Yun Zhaoyi's position in the harem was further consolidated.

In the early days of today, Lord Gu's words in the main hall, as well as Su Yutian's maintenance of him, had already spread throughout the harem. Therefore, after the palace concubines finished their invitation to the queen, they all went to Chenglu Hall and attached themselves to Yun Zhaoyi.

Although Yun Zhaoyi had read poetry and books at home, her sensitivity to these political affairs was really poor, and she couldn't understand what the consequences of the emperor's actions would be, she was just blindly proud and complacent.

The concubines in the high positions disdained to come over, and Chu Zhaoyi, who was in the same position as Yun Zhaoyi, brought other sisters in the lower positions to come over, and the salute to Yun Zhaoyi was almost as grand as saying goodbye to the queen.

"Sisters, what are you doing quickly." Yun Zhaoyi said politely, but the joy in her heart was not hidden on her face at all.

"What did Sister Yun say, for His Majesty's favor for my sister, my sister is afraid that she will be able to enjoy the position of the East Palace in a few days, and we are just seeing the gift in advance, and my sister is well-deserved."

Chu Zhaoyi is also an old man in the palace, he has stayed for so long, but he has only been a Zhaoyi without a title, and now he has to be respectful to Yun Zhaoyi, who has only been here for a few months and has the same position, and no one can help it.

That is, Yun Zhaoyi was stupid and didn't see her deep meaning, but the other concubines who came to see the ceremony knew it.

"Sister Chu's words are really good, but you forgot that you are older than me. But it doesn't matter, I have one more title than my sister, and if I count it according to the rank, I can indeed be regarded as Sister Chu's sister. ”

Yun Zhaoyi also got carried away, and even used the matter of age to humiliate Chu Zhaoyi. Chu Zhaoyi laughed angrily and shook off her hand. "Sister Yun dares to be so indulgent now, it's just relying on the support of her family."

"My grandfather was a famous general in the previous dynasty, our family has been brave for generations, and now His Majesty has taken a fancy to military generals, and my family will make a comeback sooner or later, and then I should also teach my sister how to respect her predecessors."

Chu Zhaoyi originally wanted to surrender her identity and take the initiative to show friendship with her, so that she could live a better life in the palace in the future, but she didn't expect to be insulted by this, and she immediately turned her face. And the other concubines of lower rank can only watch from the sidelines.

"If my sister doesn't say it, I really forgot. Because Sister Chu is from a family of pickled and reckless military generals. Yun Chaoyun had a conceited sneer on his face, "Even if Your Majesty is now heavy on military generals, the civil officials are always clear, and even if the military generals are killed and injured on that battlefield, they can't shake my family's status in the slightest." ”

"Keep your mouth clean, the daughter born to a civil official, but she can't even say a few words?" Chu Zhaoyi was annoyed and angry.

In order not to let outsiders insult her as the daughter of a military general, the family taught Chu Zhaoyi to learn palace etiquette and read and learn calligraphy since she was a child.

And Yun Zhaoyi, who is from a Qingliu family, seems to be a little more playful. "My sister just said respect, and my sister is now teaching my sister how to respect the lord of the first house for a concubine who doesn't even have a title."

Let's say it, Yun Zhaoyi stared at a pair of apricot eyes, and shouted in a low voice, "Come and give me a palm!" ”

"Gu Yun, you dare!" Chu Zhaoyi's whole body was trembling, Gu Yun was very happy when he saw her like this, "Why don't you dare to do it for me." ”

The two palace maids walked leisurely towards Chu Zhaoyi with wooden planks, but knowing that they would get a more ferocious punishment for disobeying Yun Zhaoyi, they could only confess to Chu Zhaoyi and slap him in the mouth with their eyes closed.

"You guys show me good, dare to talk back to this palace, this is the end." The other concubines were also from military generals' families, and they were all scared at this time, seeing Gu Yun bullying them like this, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and they were all very aggrieved in their hearts.

The palace maids had just slapped Chu Zhaoyi's mouth twice and it was swollen, and a person outside arrived in time, which made Chu Zhaoyi suffer a lot.

"Yun'er is playing again, but the people in the palace have offended you again." Su Yutian didn't call the palace maid and eunuch to report, and walked in with a smile behind his back.

Yun Zhaoyi saw it, and hurriedly rushed up to hold his hand, "It's just that someone doesn't obey the concubine, and the concubine teaches her a little lesson." His Majesty did not like to hear this, so the concubines told them to stop. ”

When the two palace maids heard this, they both put their hands down as if relieved. Lin Zhaoyi took Su Yutian's hand, passed by them, and glanced back coldly, and the little palace maids suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

"Chu Zhaoyi?" When Su Yutian turned around and sat on the main seat of the main hall, he saw the woman who was punished below, but still straightened her back and had a temperament like Lan, was Chu Zhaoyi, whom he had ignored for a long time.

"She's the one you punished?" In order to prevent her from continuing to be targeted by Gu Yun, Su Yutian put away the appreciation in his eyes, but fortunately, Yun Zhaoyi couldn't find out.

Chu Zhaoyi entered the palace when the emperor was still a prince, and now after such a long time, he has no heirs, and he does not often show his face in front of His Majesty, Gu Yun naturally will not worry.

Gu Yun pouted, holding Su Yutian's hand and coquettishly, "She is pampered and arrogant and disrespectful to the concubine, the concubine just makes good use of the right of the lord of the first palace and teaches her a little lesson, so that she can teach her a long lesson, so as not to make a fool of herself in front of outsiders in the future." ”
