Chapter 41: The Fragrance of Tea (6)
Back to the Qingxin Palace, Zhong Weiwei had to accompany him as usual and wait for Chonghua to have breakfast.
It wasn't until Chonghua left the Qingxin Hall to go to the imperial study that she could be free.
Chonghua had breakfast, looked away, and stretched out his hand to her.
Zhong Weiwei sent the living note, Chonghua read it three or two times, and said mockingly:
"Zhong Tongshi can be regarded as a worm in my stomach, I know all my thoughts, and there is no better way to perceive the holy will than you.
Since you're doing so well, let's go to the imperial study with me, anyway, the new living room hasn't been appointed yet, and you're quite familiar with it. ”
One wage for two people?
No, he deducted all her wages.
And she didn't sleep well last night, and she planned to wait for Chonghua to leave, so that she could go back to the room to make up for sleep.
Zhong Weiwei lowered his head and said quietly: "Your Majesty, it is really an honor for the minister to be trusted by His Majesty, and the minister is grateful."
However, I am afraid that the minister will live up to the grace of God, the minister has not been in good health since he was a child, and once he does not sleep well and eat well, he will immediately get sick.
If the minister is sick and has a small matter, he is afraid that he will miss His Majesty's major affairs. ”
Chonghua glared at her angrily, she would get sick if she didn't eat and sleep well?
And what about him?
He also didn't eat and sleep well, and when he opened his eyes until dawn one night, his body was made of iron, so he wouldn't get sick?
Zhong Weiwei knew that he was glaring at her, but he just didn't see it, and lowered his eyes and pretended to be dead.
The incident that happened yesterday drained all her mental vitality at once, and after fighting wits and courage for so long, she was really haggard.
He can play as much as he likes, and that's what she is anyway.
Chonghua had no opponent, and he felt strange and bored, so he said: "If Wan'an Palace comes to ask about last night, do you know how to answer?" ”
Zhong Weiwei said: "I know, as recorded in the living notes, the minister is truthfully recorded. ”
Chonghua glanced at her, "Do you know why I did this?" ”
"Yes. His Majesty wanted to elevate the Lu family and let the Lu family fight against the Wei family, but he didn't want the Lu family to give birth to a prince, so he did so. Later, does Your Majesty want to make an order to crown Lu Guiren as a concubine? ”
"You're so smart. It's good, it's good. ”
Chonghua has nothing to say, although he wants to let Wei and Lu check and balance each other, but he really doesn't want them to give birth to his heirs, there are many ways, why do this kind of thankless thing to hide people's eyes and ears.
Zhong Weiwei saluted him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." ”
Chonghua was so angry that he was weak: "It's good that you know!" Don't think I'm for anyone! Don't be sentimental! ”
Zhong Wei replied to him only seriously: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never think about things that should not belong to him, and he will never be sentimental." ”
"You're the thing! You are so bold, you dare to disrespect me! ”
When Chonghua saw Zhong Weiwei's serious and cold face, he couldn't wait to jump up and pinch her to death.
Zhao Hongtu relieved the siege in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up, it's time to go to the imperial study, a few elders are already waiting." ”
Chonghua was furious: "It's okay to collect some gold and silver, if you dare to accept food, tea, prescriptions and the like from others, see how I clean you up!" ”
He didn't allow her to accept the tea and prescriptions given by Lu Chun before, not to punish and make things difficult for her, but for fear that she would be poisoned.
Zhong Weiwei understood, his mood was beyond words, and his cold heart was slowly relieved.
She raised her eyes to look at Chonghua and wanted to ask him, why is this?
Chonghua saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he immediately added: "Don't think that I am afraid that you will suffer, if you die, who will help me watch this harem?"
Zhong Weiwei, don't forget what you promised the emperor, remember, if I don't allow you to die, you can't die, I don't allow you to go, you can't go. ”
Well, there's not much more to say. Zhong Weiwei closed his mouth, lowered his eyes, and let Chonghua attack.
Fortunately, Chonghua was very punctual and threw down a sentence: "Come over after lunch and be on duty!" And he hurried away.
Zhong Weiwei returned to the duty room and handed over the matter of tidying up the living notes to the female historian under his command to do, and specially explained:
"If someone comes to investigate, you don't have to hide it, reveal it appropriately, and don't embarrass yourself too much."
Competing for favor is like a battlefield, if it is not expected, Empress Dowager Wei and Wei Rou will definitely send eyeliner to inquire about what happened last night.
She revealed a little bit of news here, and with Chonghua's will to reward Lu Chun, the palace was about to explode.
Tim Fu cleaned up the bed comfortably, Zhong Weiwei seized the time to catch up on sleep, and when he woke up, it was time for lunch.
The female history brought lunch to eat with her, and reported to her in a whisper:
"As you expected, not long after you fell asleep, several groups of people came to inquire about what happened last night, and while we were not paying attention, they quietly looked through the living notes."
"Your Majesty issued an order, Jin Feng Wei Guiren is a concubine, Lu Guiren is a virtuous concubine, each rewarded with 20 brocades, a number of gold and silver jewelry. Someone repaired and arranged the Xicui Palace, and Lu Guiren moved in on an auspicious day. ”
"The palace is all fried, Concubine Lu Xian went to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, because of her rudeness, she was punished by the Queen Mother to kneel for more than two hours.
The concubine didn't give face when she went to plead, and later His Majesty also let Manager Zhao go, and the Queen Mother scolded Manager Zhao and drove him out.
In the end, it was Concubine Wei Shu who interceded for Concubine Lu Xian, and the Queen Mother was willing to let Concubine Xian go back. ”
Zhong Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, Wei and Lu officially broke up, and the pressure on Chonghua would be much less.
Now she has to choose the most suitable person for Chonghua among the ordinary concubines, that person must be smart and capable, and she must have an appetite for Chonghua, and she can't have anything to do with Wei and Lu, and she can be entrusted with important tasks.
When Chonghua finds someone suitable for the back position, it will be time for her to retire.
In order to highlight Wei Rou and Lu Chun, there is nothing particularly outstanding in this batch of palace concubines, but you can pick two to cultivate.
Zhong Weiwei asked the female historian to bring the list of concubines, carefully examine them, and select two people.
She's not idle, and neither are others. On the side of Wan'an Palace, Yang Quanzhong proudly handed over the two letters to Empress Dowager Wei: "It was found from the guard named Fang Jian." ”
If Zhong Weiwei saw these two letters, she would definitely be surprised, this is exactly the letter she asked Tianfu to hand over to Fang Jian to send to Zhong Hao and He Lingyi.
Empress Dowager Wei dismantled the fire paint and looked at it, and sneered slightly: "Send this thing to our Majesty." "Why Chonghua hated Zhong Weiwei because of love, she counted it very much.
I wonder how her good son will feel when he sees Zhong Weiwei's affectionate letter?
I must be half angry. With his fierceness, he will never spare Zhong Weiwei.
"Dead ghost, you can't fight me. You are dead, I am still alive, you want the daughter of the Zhong family to be your daughter-in-law, I don't want to let them, I want them to be resentful and torture each other. The latter can only be surnamed Wei, even if it is surnamed Lu, it can't be surnamed Zhong! This is a rule handed down from our ancestors. ”
Empress Dowager Wei turned the mutton fat jade bracelet on her wrist and muttered to the dead Emperor Yong.
