Chapter 997: Unexpected Good Fruit
The exquisite jade pavilion is paved with snow, the whitewashed building palace wall is new, the frost Qingling is decorated with Qiongzhi, the morning snow is at the beginning of the day, and the scenery in the imperial garden is like a fairyland.
Cao Beidao had already asked Mingsa Yiluo to be on the side of the Rucui Pavilion, and was walking quickly, and when he was about to approach, he tidied up his crown and hat before passing, and whispered to the palace maid who was guarding the side: "Poor Dao asks to see Sa Guifei, please pass it on to my aunt." "
The flowers and trees next to the Rucui Pavilion are covered with ice and snow, and Sayiluo is wearing a goose yellow dress and a red felt robe, and the edge of the robe is inlaid with plain white fluff, which is particularly bright and eye-catching in the snow scene.
While enjoying the scenery, she teased the eldest prince Han Dui.
Han Dui is one year old, white and chubby, wearing a red jacket and red pants with a golden tuan pattern, as cute as a New Year's doll.
Before he learned to walk, the snow was slippery again, and the palace maid who served Handui was afraid that he would fall, so she bent down and put her arms around him with both hands and led him around.
With the help of the palace maid, Han Dui walked fast and steadily, his little face was red with excitement, and he raised his hands and walked towards Sa Yiluo with a smile.
Since he came to the world, Han Dui has never gotten along with his biological mother, and the palace maids have taught him to respect Ke Yajie and Sa Yiluo, although he is not sensible, he also has an invisible influence on him.
And after he was handed over to Sa Yiluo to raise, he was more impressed by Sa Yiluo, whether he was laughing or crying, he first expressed it to Sa Yiluo.
It can be seen that he pounced, and Sa Yiluo only smiled and said, "Very well-behaved, very well-behaved, go over there for a walk." ”
Just let him go, the palace maid came to report to Cao Beidao and asked to see him, Sa Yiluo frowned and looked at Cao Beidao, and did not say whether he saw it or not.
Seeing this scene, Cao Beidao was confident when he entered the palace, but his confidence was greatly reduced at this moment, and most of this Sa Yiluo would not be willing to help.
In Qi Zhen Palace, Cheng Haofeng and the others were also anxiously waiting for the result of seeing Sa Yiluo, which made Cao Beidao even more pressured, he didn't want to do things unfavorably, and he was afraid of losing face in front of Cheng Haofeng.
has a cold attitude, but the seemingly arrogant Sa Yiluo is also worried in her heart, in the past, it was Gao Youquan who helped her to fix her favor, but now that Gao Youquan is thoroughly investigated, she is afraid of being implicated.
At this moment, I don't know what Cao Beidao is going to say, I am worried that I will fall into a trap, and not seeing him is also a way to protect myself.
In the French Dynasty for a few years, Sa Yiluo did not have a few days of peace, and now her position is stable, seeing that there may be a big mess in the court, she does not want to wade into troubled waters.
Sa Yiluo didn't seem to hear the report, so he directly put Cao Beidao aside and went into the pavilion to drink tea.
Although he didn't summon Cao Beidao to see him, he didn't chase him, so he was ready to wait, what if there was a turnaround?
The tea is fragrant, such as the word "pure heart" on the jade white porcelain cup, but Sa Yiluo can't taste tea leisurely.
Let the palace maid take a look, and heard that Cao Beidao didn't leave, and looked anxiously at the pavilion many times, Sa Yiluo was in a worse mood.
Without the patience to grind on, Sa Yiluo walked out of the pavilion and prepared to take Han Dui back to Yusheng Palace.
The child, who did not know how to read words and looks, saw the person who looked like a mother approaching, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to hug him.
Sa Yiluo took a step sideways and urged the palace maid to take the eldest prince away.
was ignored, but Han Dui was still babbling and laughing.
Looking at the villain who came to please him, Sa Yiluo felt inexplicably disgusted, and waved him impatiently to let him go away.
So how can young children know how to figure out emotional changes? He was still walking and jumping happily, hugging Sayiluo's calves affectionately, and raising his face and smiling and saying that those adults didn't understand, "Twitter......"
The small mouth opened and closed, and the crystal saliva flowed down the corners of the mouth, dripping on the goose-yellow skirt.
Unable to suppress his anger any longer, Sayiluo glared at him in disgust and asked the palace maid to take him away quickly.
Seeing that she was really angry, the palace maid hurriedly picked up Han Dui and hurriedly walked away.
was forcibly taken away, Han Dui cried aggrievedly, and he didn't know how to express it, but his wrinkled little face was full of tears: What did I do wrong?
The palace maid couldn't bear it, and looked at Sa Yiluo with begging eyes.
No matter how unwilling to coax the child, he didn't dare to go too far, after all, Han Dui was the only heir of the emperor at present, Sa Yiluo suppressed his emotions and ordered with a gloomy face: "You take him back to Yusheng Palace!" Tell the nurse to come and feed him, and let people choose a few strange gadgets to tease him. Don't come to me if it's okay, you can do your best. "
I don't want to accompany Han Dui, but I have to raise him to consolidate my position, Sa Yiluo can only let the servants spoil him more, as for whether this is good for his growth, he doesn't bother to think about it, just don't make trouble for himself.
If you want to go back to Yusheng Palace to change your skirt quickly, you can't be too snub to Cao Beidao, if Gao Youquan is convicted, the power of this national teacher will increase, so after a long time, let him sit in the Rucui Pavilion together.
Entering the pavilion, after the polite words were finished, Cao Beidao respectfully bowed to Sa Yiluo, and said solemnly: "Today's investigation of Gao Youquan's case, there is no evidence for a long time, and I also ask Niangniang to help me find out the evidence of the traitor's crime as soon as possible." "
It turned out to be a request for help? Sa Yiluo was also worried that he had come to question Zeng and Gao Youquan's collusion, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
The stone fell to the ground in her heart, and Sa Yiluo did not ask why she wanted to help, but categorically refused: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, whether the filial piety is a traitor or a loyalty has nothing to do with the concubine, and it is verified by the emperor and officials." "
"Niangniang, listen to me in detail. Although you are not involved in the investigation of the case, you must help you to find out the truth......"
There was hope, and a scoop of cold water was poured on him, Cao Beidao was anxious, and approached Sa Yiluo regardless of etiquette.
The palace maid and the eunuch immediately blocked in front of Sa Yiluo and threw warning glances at him.
"Please report to the emperor on major government affairs, don't come to the harem to discuss government affairs!" Sayiluo said coldly.
Cao Beidao wanted to persuade again, but Sa Yiluo preemptively said: "National teacher, your original duty is to pray for the blessing of the emperor and all the people in the world, and please don't interfere too much in the government affairs." "
"...... I don't mean to hurt you! Listen to me in detail. All of them are important events related to the fortunes of the country, and as a national teacher, I should not only pray for blessings, but also do practical things. "
"Since it is a major event related to the fortunes of the country, please go and make it clear to the emperor, don't tell me a woman."
Cao Beidao was so anxious that his internal organs were smoking, but there were some things that he couldn't shout out, so he lowered his voice and said: "This is something that can't be told to the emperor directly, and you need your help to discuss it properly before you can show the emperor." "
Sa Yiluo heard that what Cao Beidao wanted to do was very secretive and risky, and he didn't want to be involved, so he called the guards loudly and "invited" Cao Beidao out.
The deep palace didn't dare to mess around, although it was not a problem for him to beat a hundred of these guards alone, Cao Beidao still left under their pushing.
was treated coldly by Sayiluo, and when he walked to the corner of a corridor lonely, he began to sigh when he saw that there were fewer people coming and going.
I can't think of a way to make Sa Yiluo change his attitude for a while, so can he only defeat and retreat first?
"National teacher, please speak here." When he was worried, a little eunuch beckoned to him beside the rockery.
The location of the little eunuch standing between the rockery and a big pine tree was a dark corner that no one noticed, and it was estimated that there was some secret to talk to Cao Beidao.
He was about seventeen years old, slightly dark-skinned, wearing a light purple round-necked robe, and smiled very respectfully at Cao Beidao.
Cao Beidao looked at him and wondered, he really couldn't remember when he had a relationship with such a little eunuch, it wouldn't be a trap, right?
But Cao Beidao is not a cowardly person, whether he is a trap or not, first probe the wind and then judge.
"May I ask what the little father-in-law is calling the poor?"
Cao Beidao lowered his posture a little, and it was convenient to leave a way out in case there were traps.
The little eunuch grinned, and his face revealed a bit of youthful innocence: "The national teacher is so polite, it really torments the slave, dare to ask the national teacher, do you remember that he saved an orphan in Fanbang three years ago?" "
Three years ago? Fanbang orphans? Cao Beidao looked at him carefully again, and finally remembered who he was.
That year, the snow fell heavily, and a husband and wife in the caravan that Fanbang came to Beijing to sell cattle and horses lost their capital, and they both died of illness, leaving an orphan to become a beggar.
The people of Qi Zhen Palace saw that he was bullied by local beggars and came to help, and he also kowtowed to Cao Beidao because of his gratitude, and met each other.
Of course, arranging for the people of Qi Zhen Palace to help the homeless and the old, weak, sick and disabled on the street, Cao Beidao was more to spread the good name of Qi Zhen Palace and enhance the people's reputation, not to really care about them.
He did good deeds without intention, and he did good deeds, both good results and good karma, and this young man was sincerely grateful to him.
Relying on the help of Qi Zhengong, the young man no longer became a beggar and became an apprentice in a small workshop, but there are various differences between the Central Plains people and the Fanbang people, which also cause various contradictions.
The young man wanted to save money to return to Fanbang, but at this time he heard the news that because he wanted to comfort Concubine Sa Guifei's homesickness, the palace wanted to recruit eunuchs who could speak Fanbang.
It is difficult to fly on his own, and he has no relatives when he saves money and returns to his hometown, so instead of struggling, it is better to fight for a chance, so he went to apply for the election.
Because he not only knows Fanbang dialect, but is also a Fanbang person, Sayiluo trusts him very much, and is willing to tell him anything and listen to his advice.
"The little father-in-law wants to help the poor and persuade the concubine? Thank you in advance, little father-in-law. Cao Beidao hurriedly bowed.
"The national teacher doesn't have to be so polite, I would be happy to have the opportunity to repay the favor. Also, please call me 'big net', this is the name taken by the mother, and it is said to be a smooth mouth. "
"Okay, big net, thank you big net little father-in-law." After listening, Cao Beidao hurriedly called his name affectionately and thanked him repeatedly.
The little eunuch Dawang asked him to wait here for a while, and then went to Sa Yiluo to persuade him.
Soon after, Dawang persuaded Sa Yiluo, and happily asked Cao Beidao to go to Yusheng Palace, and when he turned around, he gave two words of advice, explaining what Sa Yiluo likes to listen to, and which point is the easiest to grasp.
After arriving, they greeted each other according to the courtesy, and after giving the seat, Sayiluo asked the idle staff to retreat first, leaving only a few henchmen to serve by his side.
Cao Beidao put away his previous attitude of eagerly asking for help, and asked Sa Yiluo with deep meaning: "Niangniang doesn't want to fall into the fate of the Ke family sisters, right?" But do you know how to avoid falling into them? "
Sa Yiluo didn't answer, just looked at him, and rolled his eyes a few times.
"What they ask for too much and lack of ability are the main reasons for failure, but there are also reasons why they are secretly used by Gao Youquan.
"Niangniang, after you entered the palace, many things in the palace were suppressed by Gao Youquan by your hand, you had no intention of competing for favor, but you were still caught in the middle of right and wrong.
"Now in the harem, it seems that as long as you are kind to the eldest prince, you can be pampered, but have you achieved your goal?
"If one day the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, he knows that you are not your biological mother, and he hates you, so he is unfriendly to Fanbang, what should you do?"
