Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Five: Back to the Pot

Calm was very satisfied with Concubine Ning's arrival.

She likes to see people who are rudder in the wind, though she also knows that when she herself is unlucky, such people will turn the rudder.

But at least, when she is proud, this kind of person will definitely flatter her well and do things for her.

Calm down and now the spring breeze is proud, she never thought what would happen to her unlucky day, she didn't want to think about that kind of thing, failure for her is nothing more than dying again, and she hasn't died.

"The fresh fruit that the emperor rewarded yesterday, my sister tastes it." Calmly pointed to the fruit on the table and greeted.

Concubine Ning had a frightened smile on her face, reached out to take one, and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you for helping me speak at the banquet that day, this palace has always been the grace of dripping water, and it should be reciprocated by a spring." Said calmly and lightly.

"I've told the truth." Concubine Ning took a bite of the fruit and said with a smile.

"There is a pavilion called Qiushi by the Yushui River, recently, the emperor has been resting in the morning, and he always likes to go there to see the fish for a while, and then go to work. I've heard this too, I don't know if it's true or not, I haven't tried it. Calmly swallowed the melon seeds and said slowly.

Concubine Ning's eyes lit up, and she thanked her.

"This palace is not a jealous person, everyone enters the palace and serves the same master, that is, sisters, they should take care of each other, don't you say?" Calm down.

Concubine Ning nodded yes.

The two chatted a few more words, and then the palace maid said back and forth that Zhou Shanggong was here.

"Invite her in." Smiled calmly.

Concubine Ning got up and said goodbye.

"Are you afraid of her? Just sit down. "Say it calmly, let Nan Yu serve hot tea.

Zhou Shanggong walked in with a satin in his hand, his face was solemn, and he didn't smile at all.

"Yo, which gust of incense blew you into this broken temple, and you still have a serious face? It's not like a gift for you. Calmly said.

Zhou Shanggong saluted the two of them, put down the satin in his hand, and sighed: "Niangniang, the slave maid is here to say that you want to see if this satin was woven by the emperor before." ”

Calmly poked his head over and took a closer look, and nodded: "Look at this suit, but I don't know if it's the one I want, and it's not necessarily the suit I want?" ”

The corners of Zhou Shanggong's mouth showed a slightly wry smile: "The noble concubine is kind, always speaking for these irrelevant people, the emperor said when he handed over your drawings to the Needlework Bureau, that you drew them according to the scene in your dream."

And the Needlework Bureau also determined that this style of satin had never been woven before, and when it first took over, even those old people who weaved satin were worried. ”

"Let them be embarrassed, there is some silver here, bother Lord Shanggong to reward them on behalf of the palace, that is, the palace thanks them for their intentions." Calmly took out the silver from his arms.

Zhou Shanggong stomped his feet and shouted: "You, you are really a living Bodhisattva who only knows how to scatter money, slaves and maids are here, but they are not here to ask for rewards, something has happened, something has happened." ”

"What's the big deal? Lord Shang Gong is also well-informed, and he can tell you something big, so it's a big deal. Calmly sipping tea and asking.

"Zhu Yingsi, that old boy took this batch of satin to sell it privately, and was taken by the people in the inner prison!" Zhou Shanggong said urgently, and was about to go down again, but seeing that Concubine Ning was present, he swallowed back the rest of the words.

Calmly, he pretended not to see his reaction, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I wish my father-in-law that his old man is short of hands for a while, what's wrong with selling a few satins?" It's a big deal to let the emperor punish a few words, if you see him, just say I miss him, let him come, I will give him one hundred and eighty taels of flowers, so as not to have to work his old man to run such legs. ”

Aunt Zhou glanced at Concubine Ning, and saw that Concubine Ning had no intention of leaving, and she was calm and didn't want her to go, so she gritted her teeth and continued:

"Niangniang, the queen mother is scratching her head about this matter, the general's family has just happened, and now the people around the emperor are making such a thing again, unfortunately, but the inner chamberlain was caught again. Isn't this a mouth to talk about others, but not to yourself?

Those who understand know that this is the old boy who filled his pockets and made silver to enrich his own pocket, but he doesn't know, don't you think that he is collecting wealth for the emperor and ignoring the emptiness of the treasury? ”

Aunt Zhou sighed.

Calmly sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, and frowned: "How many horses did his old man sell privately?" Why do you hear you say that it is so serious, it is the emperor and the treasury? Feelings wish my father-in-law, this idea of private affairs is still involved in the government?

Then Lord Shanggong, don't talk about it anymore, you always know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

Ouch, my good mother, you can't shirk this matter, you have to think of a way for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is in a hurry, maybe she is going to get sick, it's easy to cure the disease, and now I've been drinking Jiang Feng's Astragalus Eight Treasures Health Soup. ”

Spread his hands calmly, with a helpless expression: "Lord Shanggong, I, a woman who lives in the harem, how can I help?" If you can't help, you might as well find someone who can help. ”

Aunt Zhou was about to speak, but she heard a muffled voice from the door: "If you help me, will you help?" ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly got up and saluted, Zhang walked in with a calm face, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Concubine Ning.

"Your Majesty, it's hard to help, and the concubines don't know how to help." Calmly got up, patted his shirt, sat down in a chair, and said coldly.

Zhang glanced at her helplessly, pointed at Concubine Ning and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why can't she be here? The deep palace is lonely, find someone who can talk and talk about it, right? Calmly rushed back.

Zhang's eyes were confused, he sighed, and without waiting for Concubine Ning to answer, he waved his sleeves and drove her out with Zhou Shanggong.

"Are you angry?" Zhang sat down in a chair, his voice soft.

"No, how can the concubine be angry with the emperor, and the bamboo hairpin on the concubine's head has not been removed, how can she be demanding that the emperor be sincere to herself." Calm and still cold tone.

Zhang's eyes were dancing with blazing firelight, and his voice was slightly excited: "Calm down, you're angry, you're angry that I stayed with other concubines last night, didn't you?" ”

"I heard that Concubine Zhuang has thousands of hectares of fertile land at home and is a rich man, so the emperor asked her to think of a way for you to solve the matter of Zhu Gonggong." Calmly fiddling with his fingernails, he said coldly.

Zhang got up and came to Calm's side, took her into his arms and hugged her tightly: "I finally waited for this day, and you began to have a place for me in your heart." ”

Calm struggled in his arms, and the angry voice said: "No, not before, not now, and not in the future, there is always only Sima Nan in the heart of the concubine." ”

"Silly girl, he is dead, he is under Jiuquan, and he doesn't want you to live alone, you can have a good home, it is also his wish." Zhang hung his head and kissed her hair and said softly.

"You let go of me, you don't really love me, you just treat me like this because you feel sorry for Sima Nan, I don't need it, I don't need your mercy and sympathy, you can remove my title and expel me from the palace, or kill me!" Calmly roared in a low voice, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang hugged her tightly, kissed her hair deeply, and waited for her to calm down, Fang said: "I swear, I am sincere to you, not pity and sympathy, I like you from the first sight, but you already have a heart at that time, and I can only pretend to be crazy and stupid to survive, so I sealed that love deeply in my heart."

Now everything is different, I have the ability to protect you, and I will never turn you away from thousands of miles away, you don't know how much I want to have you by my side in this life. ”

Calmly sucked his nose, wiped away his tears, and still had a cold face: "What you said at this time, the concubine didn't believe it, the matter of Zhu Gonggong, it is a big deal for the concubine to bear it, that is, the concubine has an ignorant reputation in the eyes of your ministers, and it is no longer to blame Zhu Gonggong, let alone the emperor." ”

Zhang let go of her, sighed, sat down in the chair, and shook his head: "Calm down, this matter is not as simple as you think, do you know how many satin horses Zhu Yingsi got out?" Fifteen thousand!

This old guy's appetite is too big, if it is three or five hundred horses, it will be enough, he is outside in the name of me to make money, I don't know, I read that he is my adoptive father, I just turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, but this time, it is clear that the slave wants to make up for his face, and deliberately used Zhu Yingsi to make up for it.

What do you want me to do? Kill Zhu Yingsi? Wouldn't that be a disgrace? Admit in disguise that I am also making money in private to satisfy my own selfish desires? Wouldn't it have become fifty steps and a hundred steps for the slave to give all his family wealth before? Embarrassed in front of the ministers? ”

"Why does my father-in-law want so much satin? Open a satin shop? Calmly frowned.

Zhang shook his head: "He opened a fart silk shop, I have checked, because this satin is a fresh pattern, there is no sale on the market, he only took two horses out and sold them for ten taels of silver, and then a merchant found him and ordered 10,000 horses with him for 25 taels and 1 horses."

This old bastard was obsessed with money, so he agreed and signed a contract with someone, and as soon as the goods were delivered, he was caught by the guards of the inner prison. He can't be blamed for this, it's because those people have been eyeing him for a long time. ”

Leng Biao lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "I said that I want to carry this pot, just let me carry it, except for this, there is no other way, I can't let the emperor be embarrassed in front of the ministers, the concubine is always a woman, and if this ugliness is lost, it will be lost." ”

"Calm down, you can't carry this pot, this pot is too big to overwhelm you." Zhang said sadly.

"According to the ancestral example, the concubine was made a concubine, and the emperor asked for a reward of 15,000 horses, right?" Calmly asked.

Zhang straightened his eyes and nodded slowly: "According to the usual example, the first emperor once gave Zheng Guifei's family a reward of 100,000 pieces of satin, 3,000 taels of gold and two boxes of jewelry. ”

"That's why the concubine said that the concubine will carry this pot." Calmly sneered.
