Mother Ceremony World (Middle)

After Wanning and Xinjie left, Yiyi was quite depressed. Today, he summoned the couple to meet him, originally just to discuss matters about the gold bureau and the treasury, but the burst of sweet fragrance on Wanning's body made him quite annoyed. When she first returned to Beijing, she obviously used other spices based on roses, but when she appeared today, she changed back to the orchids she used when she was in the palace. This kind of evening condensation that changes with the seasons is the evening condensation in the palace that he was familiar with in the past, and it is the evening condensation that has always held the line in his heart. Since he became in power, he has felt more and more lonely. Xinjie is always a courtesy to the monarch and his ministers, even if he says it is avoidable, but Xinjie has always been meticulous. This made him understand that the chasm between him and this brother could never be crossed from now on. Not only Xinjie is like this, but also Wanning, there is no hip-hop jokes in the past, there is no ridiculous tone in the past, and there is more distance and respect for the king in the speech.

And in this huge harem, there are no longer his close friends and confidants, and there is no longer anyone he can confide in at any time. When they left, he involuntarily followed him out of the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Palace, saying that he was stopping by to see his grandmother, but in fact he wanted to be able to spend more time with them. The evening gaze outside the palace seems to be much more natural and intimate, with the shadow of the past.

The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been coming to invite the draft and enrich the harem for the past few days, but where are they going to make an evening for him? In addition to not having a prominent family background, and not having a blood relationship with the three major clansmen, the late Ning that my grandmother created for herself was the best wife, whether it was her character and knowledge, temperament and open-mindedness, she was much higher than the queen who is now known as the lord of the harem, and that is the woman who is truly qualified to be the mother of the world. If she hadn't had Yixiang's sword, she might have been in the palace or by her side. Even if she can't get to the back seat without the support of her mother's power, but now that she is in power, it is not difficult to take her as a concubine. The current queen, in addition to the status of the Yuwen family, the usual calculations, and the suspicion of being involved in the gold bureau that has not yet made him clear. It was not a person he cared about, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he stayed away from the queen, and he had never been fortunate to her since he ascended the throne.

After a round in the garden, he returned to his study impatiently, and was surprised to find the queen already waiting.

"Queen, this is where I handle government affairs, and it is inconvenient for the harem to come here."

Yuwen Yunya's heart was infinitely sad, but she had to cheer up, according to what her sister-in-law Yici taught her this morning, she lowered her eyebrows and begged: "The concubine knows her mistakes, and I hope the emperor will understand." We were originally married and married, but we were not summoned by the emperor for many months, and the concubines not only missed the emperor very much, but also panicked, lest the concubines did something wrong and offended the emperor, so that the emperor avoided it. ”

"I'm just too busy lately, I want to have a good rest when I have time, I don't mean anything else, the queen should go back first, and I will naturally go to see the queen when I have time."

"Since the emperor is so busy, you might as well leave your concubines here to pour tea and add fragrance, and if the emperor has time, you can also accompany the emperor to chat for a few words and relax."

"No need, just have a palace person serve tea and pour water here."

"That being the case, why don't you wait for the emperor to finish his work in the evening, and then go to the palace of the concubine for dinner, the concubine just learned two dishes that the emperor likes from the queen mother the day before yesterday, the emperor can come and try it?"

"I will definitely go when I have time, but I don't know if I have time tonight, if I have time, I will send someone to inform the queen."

"Oh, that's fine. I don't know what kind of incense the emperor smokes here, if the emperor passes, the concubines should prepare as soon as possible, so that the emperor can be more comfortable there. ”

"Incense? Doesn't the queen know that I don't have this hobby? ”

"I don't know what the smell of the blue musk deer is coming from, it's really refreshing."

Only then did he realize that it was Wan Ning who had left here just now: "Maybe it was left by Young Lady Tang just now." General Yutai brought his wife into the palace to greet the Empress Dowager, and came here to see me. ”

"The concubine heard that Mrs. Fuhua and her husband love each other very much, and their relationship is very good."

"Yes, Xinjie cares for her very much."

"She's so lucky to have such a husband in this regard. It is rare for this prince to have such a favorite person, which family is not three wives and four concubines. When I think about it, I can't help but feel gloomy. Yiyi also understands, but with her current situation, it is inconvenient for her to care too much about her. It would have been nice if she had cared for herself earlier when she was in the Prince's Mansion and had been close to her, but at that time she still had someone in her heart who had not yet let go, and now although she had put that person down, it was too late.

In the afternoon of this day, Xinjie went to the palace to discuss matters, Lian'er was discussing things with Ding Dayong at the Aoki Tea House, and in two days Zhonglin their Wanju poetry meeting was about to start, and there were many people coming, so they couldn't help but prepare first. At this time, someone came to report that the cabinet minister, Kim Ji Hui, had come to give a gift to the young master. This made Wan Ning and Ding Dayong inexplicable. Xinjie's position and his personality don't have too many personal relationships between him and those important ministers, and it's good to send people to give gifts, why use Miss Qianjin to come to the door in person? Since Qi Feng's short leisure, Yipin of several cabinet leaders has become an important celebrity. Lord Kim is one of them, and now he is in full swing, and he is a person who has risen very quickly in the reorganization of power.

And this Jin Yuzhu, with the rise of his father's power and status, has recently stood out among the celebrities in the capital. Wan Ning had never seen her, but a few days ago, I heard Jing'an and Yiyan mention her at the family banquet. In Jing'an's opinion, although this woman is very good-looking, and she is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is quite restless, she dresses a lot and is very outstanding, she always dresses gorgeously on various occasions, her makeup is also very exaggerated, her eyes are empty, she never looks down on other official ladies around her, and she has no respect for her as a princess. Such a person suddenly came to deliver something to her husband in person, and she had to surprise her.

Although Jin Zhihui is a first-class in the court, but his daughter has neither a title nor a grade, Wanning is not only Xinjie's wife, but also the second-grade Fuhua lady given by the emperor, she should be seen in the hostess according to the etiquette, but Jin Yuzhu did not salute after coming in, nor spoke, nor responded to the hostess's greetings, and no gifts were presented, but looked the hostess up and down for a long time. Wan Ning immediately understood the intention of this woman, but she didn't know where her husband provoked such a person to come to the door. She didn't care if she offended her, so she stopped greeting her and said directly to Ding Dayong: "Shopkeeper Ding, since Miss Jin is here to give gifts to the young master, you ask them to bring a tray to Miss Jin, if she is willing to put it down, put it there, and wait for the young master to come back to him." If Miss Kim is willing to walk around the yard or drink tea or something, you can send someone to accompany her and serve her tea. But I can't let her stay in my room, there's so much stuff here, it's hard for me to mess up. I had to go beforehand. Ding Dayong originally didn't know what this woman meant, but he was really tired of such a rude person. The hostess's order made him laugh in his heart, this Miss Jin did not necessarily please this tricky hostess, and it was really his heart to do so today, so he shouted: "Si'er, take a tray to put down things for Miss Jin, you can accompany Miss Jin to the front hall or the garden to drink tea and go around, I will send Mrs. there." ”

This made Jin Yuzhu very surprised, wherever she went recently, people were very face-saving, even if Yiyan Changping and other county lords saw her, they had to give three points of courtesy. Unexpectedly, a second-grade lady didn't care about her so much, and she finally couldn't help but speak: "Miss Zhou, you are also born into a famous family, and you have also received an education in court etiquette, how can you chase away guests like this?" ”

Hearing people call her mother's last name, she understands her purpose better, and she doesn't look back, and she doesn't stop walking. How clever the jade spirit who followed beside him was: "Miss Jin, we don't have Miss Zhou here, Madame has been married to the young master for a long time, and now the empress dowager and the emperor have been at the wedding in person." Just now, my wife has already greeted Miss Jin, but Miss Jin didn't bother to answer, I think you think you are the young lady of the first-class family, and it is not worth talking to the second-grade lady of my family's emperor, even so, my wife will not bother Miss here. There are still a lot of chores to take care of at home, and I am out of company. ”

Jin Yuzhu suddenly scolded angrily: "The masters also have the part of you, a subordinate, to intervene?" There is really no tutor, it can be seen that the lady has no housekeeper. ”

Now that the people have changed their mouths about Madame, Wan Ning had to stop and glanced at Yu Ling, the Jade Ling girl was really clever: "Miss Jin, I don't dare to interject, but the young master has instructed me to take care of Madame, if Madame is bullied by outsiders, the little one can't explain to my master, it's just a matter of responsibility." As for whether you deal with me as a subordinate or your girl, that's not a small responsibility. Ding Dayong laughed in his heart, and had to hold back, this tricky hostess is now even trained so tricky. After the jade spirit girl finished speaking, Wan Ning smiled slightly: "Spirit girl, let's go." ”

Seeing that the thousands of words she had prepared had no chance to show, Jin Yuzhu had to speak again: "Madam, don't you want to know what kind of gift I gave to General Tang?" ”

Wan Ning sneered: "Miss Jin, since you are saying that you are giving gifts to my husband, not giving me gifts, it is not my business, so I don't need to know." Before he finished speaking, he was about to take a step, when he saw Jin Yuzhu take out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and smell it slowly, judging from the tone, it was very similar to what Xinjie usually wears on his body. Jin Yuzhu knew that she could recognize it, and she was proud: "Naturally, this handkerchief he usually uses, I have washed it and scented it with the spices I like." ”
