If Mrs. Qin only had three points to worry about before, when she heard the queen's words at this moment, those three points also became seven points.

She thought for a moment and calmly asked, "What other signs are there?" Does the palace maid have any demerits? ”

The queen shook her head in annoyance: "No." I'm afraid that Your Majesty is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he will not be a real husband and wife until he has a name. ”

As if stimulated by some of the words in these words, Madam Qin suddenly raised her voice and said, "Nonsense! Your Majesty's Yuan is your wife, except for Niangniang, who dares to be a husband and wife with Your Majesty? Don't say that again. ”

The queen also felt that she was speechless, nodded obediently again, and sighed that she seemed to be more and more lazy since she was pregnant, and her brain couldn't turn around.

Mrs. Qin glanced at the queen a few times with hatred, and then asked her for Zhiwei's information.

"What does Mother want of that lowly maid's family history? If Hongu remembers correctly, her hometown is not in the Gyeonggi area, so it is not easy to grasp. Otherwise, how could Hongu decisively let go at that time? ”

Speaking of this, she was a little indignant: "Since that cheap maid went to serve in front of the palace, the palace has given her a chance, but she doesn't know how to lift, hum!" ”

Mrs. Qin said quietly: "Niangniang is in the palace, and she can't let go of many things to do, but fortunately, the courtier's legs and feet are quite neat, and she can run around for Niangniang a few times." As long as the is not a dead family, or far away from the ends of the earth, the courtiers can always come up with a way. ”

She softened her tone again and comforted the queen: "Niangniang, don't be jealous with such cheap maids, you don't have to fall into your identity." As long as her family is controlled, if everything is fine, at least she can sit back and relax. His Majesty has lofty ambitions and noble character, even if he covets her appearance for a few days, he will not help such a lowly in-law for her condescension. The mother just needs to take care of the fetus, keep an eye on the palace power, and let the courtiers do the work for you. ”

The queen was moved, and sure enough, she believed Mrs. Qin's words, and turned her head and asked Lu Shao to take the palace roster for Mrs. Qin to see.

When she left the palace, Mrs. Qin was still living those few brief messages in her heart.

"Song Zhiwei, a native of Liyang, Changzhou, entered the spring of the nineteenth year of Qingde. There are two widowed mothers and eldest brothers. Good at writing, female red. Ten taels of silver. ”

His mother's surname was not recorded above, but Mrs. Qin was six or seven percent sure.

Because she knew that after the Su family left, she did follow a scholar surnamed Song to the south, and she could match Changzhou. Moreover, the Su family is indeed a widow now, but I didn't expect that as early as that time, the Su family died of her husband.

Mrs. Qin couldn't help but feel a little more happy in her heart, feeling that this was God's punishment for the Su family.

Who made her restless and self-conscious, not honestly being a singer but dying, but trying to hook her "good husband"?

Mrs. Qin called the steward and whispered a few words, although the latter was a little puzzled, she still quickly went to do it.

After two days, the three masters and servants who were still looking for Imperial Doctor Chen got several bad news one after another.

First of all, the silk shop encountered a few ruffians, and they destroyed several cloths, and frightened away many female customers.

Then there was a problem with the incense shop, and a female customer took the bought flour to the store and cried, saying that her face was itchy after using it, and she wanted the incense shop to give sky-high compensation.

After that, even the rice shop had a problem, in the middle of the night was robbed, the shopkeeper went to report to the official the next day, the official came, but found a lot of thieves in the backyard firewood room, and immediately arrested the shopkeeper as a thief.

These are all industries that the Su family has slowly developed in recent years, except for the incense shop that has put a lot of effort into it, and the others are all industries that have been purchased by a competent steward. It's really worrying to suddenly be unlucky at the same time.

But these things were so coincidental that even the most naïve Siluo felt that something was wrong, and just shouted whether to go to the temple to worship and go to bad luck.

Jinxiu thought a little more, worried that it was the nobleman who was interested in King Xiaojun who made a move, maybe it was a higher meaning, so that their wives would retreat from the difficulties and not be embarrassed in the capital again.

Only the Su family knew that most of these bad luck were related to that Mrs. Qin.

A few days ago, when Song Zhige went south with the army, the Su family planned to leave with him. But something happened to the incense shop here, and at that time, the shopkeeper's family unfortunately held a funeral, and she had to stay to deal with it, and it happened that the old disease recurred, so she had to stay in the capital to recuperate.

Unexpectedly, one day, when she went to the incense shop with her sick body to walk around, she met Mrs. Qin, whom she hadn't seen for many years, and unfortunately she was seen by the other party who didn't have time to wear a hat.

Su Shi knew that it was not good, and wanted to leave, but she ran into King Xiaojun, who was kind and invited all kinds of famous doctors for her, even including the imperial doctors in the palace, and her plan to go south was shelved.

Just when she made up her mind to leave, her daughter suddenly had news again.

These things, one by one, seem to be the will of God, it is the heavens that are leaving her down, facing the old people who did not want to see her again, and facing the deepest scar in her heart......

Thankfully, the wound healed many years ago.

Su Shi smiled helplessly: "I put it down, but others still seem to be haunted." Why bother with such hard work? ”

First of all, she started with the shops under her name, if she was not interested and continued to stay in the capital, I am afraid she would have bad luck. Mrs. Qin's methods, she had already been taught when she was young, and after all these years, her status has been rising, and her methods must have become more sophisticated.

Su secretly said, if she hadn't learned the secret behind the bandit incident from her son, I was afraid that she would still be suspicious of that Mrs. Qin at this time.

She couldn't help but hate herself for being too reserved, she knew that this was the case, so she simply cheekily begged King Xiaojun to inquire about her for herself, maybe she could see her daughter now, why be so in such a dilemma?

Su Shi pondered it all night, and the next day he ordered Siluo to order two men to go south with him. Before leaving, he carefully instructed Jinxiu.

The hostess of the Anguo Mansion soon received the news.

Mrs. Qin didn't dare to relax her vigilance, and still sent people to keep an eye on the small courtyard and a few shops in Song Ji, especially the maid who stayed to watch the house.

After a few days of staring, he made a new discovery.

"Inquire about a physician surnamed Chen? What does she want to do? ”

The subordinate said: "I heard from the owner of the pharmacy that the girl heard that Imperial Doctor Chen's golden needle technique is very skillful, and she wants to hire him to treat her wife with a lot of money." ”

Mrs. Qin was a little relieved, and said in her heart, it seems that the Su family is still a smart person, knowing that she is pressing step by step, she chose to leave in a hurry, but she left the maid just to seek medical advice.

Imperial Physician Chen is most likely the one borrowed by King Xiaojun, and he doesn't seem to be well-known, so he should be a little imperial doctor who treats low-grade palace concubines. Even if she can really be invited, there should be no threat, not to mention that nine out of ten can't be invited.

Mrs. Qin had a fixed mind, so she didn't take the letterhead that she hadn't sent out before as a worry. On the contrary, King Xiaojun suddenly left Beijing, and it seemed that he had returned to Tibet, and he was drifting away from the Su family, and she didn't have to worry about the Su family flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix to crush her.

When the dust of the Su family settled, Mrs. Qin divided most of her attention to the Su daughter in the palace.

Ask the queen to look at the roster, and the excuse for pinching her family is fake, and it is true to determine her identity.

Of course, she couldn't spend a lot of effort to wipe out the Su Clan, and she didn't need to do so. If you want to deal with a small Imperial Palace person, you only need a little trickery.

The opportunity was not long in coming.

In August, every household began to sow winter wheat one after another, and the royal estate was no exception.

Every spring, when the first wheat crop is planted, the diligent emperor will go to the imperial village to make an appearance, and the next time, provide a little material for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to praise him.

However, this year is very unfortunate, Huo Yanzhi was unfortunately injured unexpectedly, and he happened to miss the spring planting, so he hit the idea of autumn planting.

It's not that Huo Yanzhi himself sells his reputation and formalism, but that this year's Daqi country is not very peaceful.

The southern coast was not only disturbed by pirates, the South Vietnamese rebellion, the spring flood destroyed a lot of fertile land, and then there was a great drought in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, not to mention how many people died and fled because of these famines.

After counting it carefully, I am afraid that the amount of money and grain that can be harvested this year is at most 2/3 of last year, maybe not so much, and next year's harvest will also be affected.

If the trouble is not good, the victims of the disaster in a certain place will not have enough to eat, and Huo Yanzhi will have even more headaches.

Therefore, he was determined to lead by example, so that the officials under him would also pay attention to agriculture and eliminate all sources of rebellion.

On the third day of the eighth month, Qintian monitored the most suitable day for planting this month, and it happened that the autumn was high and crisp, and the sky was cloudless, so the emperor wore very simple linen clothes, and went to Huangzhuang to farm together with the support of a group of ministers wearing more simple clothes.

As usual, this kind of activity will bring a few concubines, and also let them show their faces and show their status in the harem. For example, in last year's spring planting, the emperor only brought the queen and the concubine over.

But the strange thing is that this year, the emperor didn't bring a single concubine, not even a palace maid, only Zhao Jiufu, the head of Zhao Jiufu, and another little eunuch came from the ground.

Those who knew about it guessed that the queen and the concubine were all sending good news, and of course they couldn't let them do this kind of heavy work.

But more discerning people are secretly laughing in their hearts, even if they don't go to the ground, change into coarse cloth clothes, and pretend to stand on the ridge, their reputation is better. It is inconvenient to say that it is inconvenient, but in fact, it is no longer the Sacred Heart!

Like Chief Manager Zhao, Zhi Wei, who came over in the name of the little eunuch, naturally had to go to the ground, and there was no reason why the master was busy working in the field and the slave was watching on the shore.

She was accustomed to tending to flowers and plants, and her hands and feet were not as delicate as ordinary palace maids, so she quickly got started, pinched a small cloth bag, and slowly sprinkled wheat seeds into the turned ditch, spreading them very evenly.

Mr. Zhao is not good, he is short and fat, with a big belly, and it is torture for him to continue to bend over and work, and before he has a stick of incense, he is sweating profusely and panting like a cow.

The hundreds of officials who came with them were worse than them, most of them were thin and thin ministers with white faces and long beards, but everyone gritted their teeth and insisted, at least to hold on to His Majesty for a longer time.

At this time, the officials faintly gave birth to a strange resentment.

Your Majesty is young and strong, even if he is young, why is his patience still so good?

Didn't they all just plant two ridges to make a look, but today there are at least four ridges, why don't you have any plans to stop?

For some indescribable reason, Huo Yanzhi is indeed extraordinarily energetic today. Moreover, he had something in mind, and faintly linked the fruits of today's cultivation with the harvest, which inevitably made him work harder than before.

After a long time, he finally stopped, and when he looked back, the ministers were so moved that they were almost crying, and the two representatives of the slave class he had brought with him were already far behind him.

Huo Yanzhi touched his nose, a little embarrassed, said a few words of encouragement, and took the lead in walking up.

In this national work, the only ones who can be lazy are the royal forest army on the periphery, a few palace guards in the inner circle, and a few rough slaves and maids in the imperial village.

Huo Yanzhi took the hot handkerchief handed over by the little maid, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the faces of the two young guards closest to him on the side.

If he remembered correctly, they were one of the candidates for the shadow guard that Commander Li selected for him for assessment, and today they still protect his personal safety when he leaves the palace as an ordinary guard, which is also a test for them.

He gave Zhao Jiufu a look, and although the latter was embarrassed and had just climbed up, he nodded at him very conspicuously.

Huo Yanzhi was immediately relieved and continued to express his appreciation and condolences to the ministers who came up one after another.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry of terror in the field!

Everyone turned their heads to look, and in the distance a beast like a roe deer rushed over, and it rushed towards the crowd without hesitation, with the momentum of a lion hunting.

"What's going on? Is that a captive animal in the Imperial Village? ”

"God, that thing seems to be going crazy! Run! ”

The ministers who were still stranded in the fields scattered like birds, and they scattered to both ends, or ran towards the shore.

For a while, the scene was chaotic, and some people even stepped on the feet of their colleagues or the hems of their clothes, and finally the two of them fell into the shallow ditch dug next to them, so they were not embarrassed.

The beast ran as fast as it could, and in the blink of an eye it rushed to the densest part of the crowd, but its speed did not slow down at all, and it was not afraid of people, as if it had been struck by evil, and jumped straight and threw itself at the place where the people were crowded on the shore.

The ministers reacted in hindsight, dare to love this thing is domesticated by someone with a heart to assassinate His Majesty?

The courtiers were terrified, the first assistant was too old to jog his legs and feet, and the second assistant was a little younger, so he quickly ran to Huo Yanzhi to block it, with a heroic look on his face.

In the end, the beast was finally beheaded by the guards next to him, which is considered to be dangerous!

Huo Yanzhi accepted the cordial greetings from the important ministers, and squeezed the hand of the second assistant and said a few touching words, before he went down to pack up and return to the palace like a starry moon.

But as soon as the person retreated, Huo Yanzhi's face darkened.

The reason is very simple, the trained beast is coming for Zhao Jiufu, just now Zhao Jiufu is in front of him, outsiders look at him as if they are coming for him, which is a great threat to his safety.

However, the guard didn't rush up to protect him at the first time, like Jifu.

Instead, he took the initiative to run two steps in the direction of the "little eunuch", and then turned around to confirm the situation, and found that he was surrounded by everyone, and the guard simply stretched out his hand and pulled the "little eunuch" behind him, and after cutting off the beast's head, he actually showed concern and asked the "little eunuch"!

Huo Yanzhi remembered that when the beast did not appear, the guard's eyes stared in the direction of Zhi Wei from time to time. The latter's reaction after being rescued also shows that she knows this guard!

My palace maid actually has an affair with the guards!

She swore that everyone has their own ambitions and is unwilling to cling to the powerful, just for this person!

Therefore, rounding up is equal to that I am not as good as a guard with an unattractive appearance in the heart of a little palace maid!

Huo Yanzhi felt that he was about to explode.
