Chapter 22: The Newcomer Enters the Palace (2)
Dou Fang warned Zhong Weiwei: "Don't think that you are just watching a play, you should be careful, your job is not easy to do, and if you are not careful, you will get into a bloody mess."
Don't run outside anymore, unless Your Majesty and the Queen Mother announce you, otherwise whoever tells you not to go, just keep your tea for our own family to drink. ”
Zhong Weiwei didn't come to the Qingxin Hall for some days, and he actually felt like he was in a different world.
Chonghua was not in the palace, Zhao Hongtu accompanied him, Li Anren was originally reprimanding the little eunuchs under him, but when he saw her, he came over to find fault: "Who asked you to come?" You can't see you unless you have been ordered, have you forgotten? ”
Zhong Weiwei didn't bother to pay attention to him, lowered his eyes and hid behind Dou Shangyi, leaving all the disputes to his boss to solve.
Dou Shangyi smiled and said good things to Li Anren: "Little Father-in-law Li, we are here to ask Your Majesty for orders." The nobleman is about to enter the palace, but the follow-up matter has not yet been decided, and it really can't be delayed any longer, otherwise something will happen, and everyone will be unlucky. ”
Li Anren said at this time: "Your Majesty went out of the palace to watch the troops, I'm afraid I will come back very late tonight." Or, Shang Yi, you came again after dinner? ”
Dou Shangyi didn't dare to leave: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and there are other things to do when you come back, so let's wait." ”
Li Anren invited Dou Shangyi to wait in the pantry, and said thoughtfully: "I'll ask someone to send an extra meal, and I hope Shangyi won't dislike it." ”
Glancing at Zhong Weiwei again, Yin Yang said strangely: "Some people, since they have the ability to climb high branches and leave the Qingxin Palace and not come back, they will find food by themselves." No conscience. ”
Zhong Weiwei didn't even move her eyebrows, it was obvious that Chonghua drove her away, how did she get to Li Anren, and she became a tall branch and had no conscience?
Isn't the tallest branch in this palace Chonghua himself? How unreasonable!
Dou Shangyi looked at Zhong Weiwei, and then at Li Anren, what did she want to ask, but she didn't ask, but smiled: "Don't dare to have Lao Xiaoli Gonggong, I'm not hungry." If it's convenient, you can give Xiao Zhong a copy. ”
"Inconvenient!"
"I'm not hungry!"
Zhong Weiwei and Li Anren spoke at the same time, and gave each other a roll of their eyes in disgust.
Li Anren said angrily: "You will stare at me again?" ”
Zhong Weiwei gave him another roll of the eyes: "I'll just stare at you, what do you want?" ”
Li Anren stomped his feet: "I'm too lazy to bother with you." "I just left.
Zhong Weiwei also had a serious expression, and followed Dou Shangyi to stand at the foot of the steps in a proper manner, waiting for Chonghua to come back.
The last ray of sunlight was hidden in the palace, and the sound of whips sounded in the distance, and Dou Shangyi and Zhong Weiwei both dressed up and saluted solemnly.
A pair of boots embroidered with cloud dragon patterns paused slightly in front of Zhong Weiwei before walking forward again.
Chonghua's indifferent voice sounded: "Dou Shangyi, what's the matter?" ”
Dou Shangyi hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, tomorrow is the period for nobles to enter the palace, the ranking table that the slave maid sent earlier, I don't know if Your Majesty has seen it?" ”
"Come in and talk back." The grinding of armor sounded with the sound of Chonghua's footsteps.
Zhong Weiwei peeked at him, saw him in full uniform, shrugged his nose again, and smelled a familiar smell of iron and blood, knowing that he would definitely gallop in front of the three armies today and show his strength.
Dou Shangyi got up and followed Chonghua into the hall to reply, and Zhong Weiwei also consciously stood up, standing under the steps with his head down, and did not follow in.
In a trance, I felt as if Chonghua glanced back at her, and I didn't dare to look up to verify, so I just tried my best to make an honest appearance and stand up straight.
Dou Shangyi was gone, Zhong Weiwei waited anxiously, quietly looked up, only to see the door of the palace wide open, Chonghua sitting behind the bookcase and writing hard, Dou Shangyi had long since disappeared.
couldn't help but secretly scold Dou Shangyi for not being righteous, and then quietly retreated, retreating into the shadows little by little, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Li Anren: "Your Majesty summoned you." ”
Zhong Weiwei stubbornly went up the steps: "See Your Majesty." ”
Chonghua said lightly: "I heard that Zhong Tongshi has been doing very well recently. ”
Zhong Weiwei laughed dryly: "Your Majesty's Hongfu." ”
Chonghua half-lowered his eyes, indifferent and expressionless: "Calling friends, tasting tea and playing chess, swaggering and cheating, and connecting everywhere, are you trying to plot misdeeds?" ”
This crime is a bit big, especially for people like Chonghua, he himself is unhappy, and others don't want to get better, seeing that she is doing well, he is not uncomfortable, and as soon as he is uncomfortable, he will find fault and toss her.
Zhong Weiwei immediately made a bitter face and lamented: "The sinner is just hungry and wants to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup." Your Majesty has a lot of them, and you can hold the boat in your belly, so you won't have to worry about the guilty ministers, right? ”
Chonghua gave her a cold look: "Is the silver ready?" ”
Finally, I don't have to eat steamed buns and drink porridge anymore!
Zhong Weiwei saw that he was willing to let this matter go, and smiled happily: "It's all ready, please smile at Your Majesty." ”
He presented three thousand taels of silver tickets with both hands, and patted his ass by the way: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, graceful, but popular, all the beauties in the palace admire Your Majesty very much, and even dream of dreaming of you." ”
"What about you?" Chonghua put down his pen and looked at Zhong Weiwei.
She has changed into the dress of a female official of the sixth grade, her pale cyan dress is embroidered with beautiful hibiscus flowers, and the palm-wide belt tightly binds the slender waist, which is full and unbearable, just like the person in the painting, but her expression is too hateful, the joy is fake, and the flattery also has some exaggeration.
Zhong Weiwei almost bit his tongue, and then said righteously: "I am the history of Tong appointed by His Majesty, how can I be the same as them?" When you are on an errand in the palace, the most important thing is not to be selfish, otherwise you will inevitably be biased and live up to Your Majesty's trust. ”
"It's true that you're not like them. In your eyes, there will always be only interests and favors. Other people and things are not worth caring about for you. It was originally me, but I misjudged you. ”
Chonghua retracted his gaze and said coldly: "These days, I have thought about it, and the past will be over." It doesn't make sense that you can let go, but I can't let go. Since the first emperor asked you to assist me, then you should use all your strength and mind to do a good job and be a good worker. ”
"Yes, minister, you will live up to your majesty."
Zhong Weiwei lowered her eyes and presented the booklet she had carefully made these days: "This records the temperament, hobbies, and shortcomings of the nobles who are about to enter the palace, as well as some related small rumors, I believe it can help Your Majesty better understand and master them." ”
"You're really doing your duty, thinking about me."
Chonghua curled the corners of his lips sarcastically, and did not take the booklet: "This is the news you got these days, inviting people to drink tea, running around?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to praise the minister, this is the duty of the minister."
Zhong Weiwei got up, put the booklet on his bookcase with a smile, and then returned it: "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, the minister will retire." ”
