Chapter 260: Steadfastness: Chapter 261: Don't Seek Merit (340 Pink Tickets)
Hongluan didn't sleep well tonight because she was worried about Madoka's affairs; Most of the people in the palace didn't sleep well tonight, and even didn't sleep for a night, such as Concubine Rou, Concubine Li, Concubine Rong, etc.
It's been three watches now, and the emperor, who is seriously ill and weak and needs to recuperate, is not sleeping, he is talking to the imperial concubine.
The emperor has been thin to a handful of bones, and only a pair of eyes are still extremely focused, staring at the imperial concubine kneeling beside the bed: "Why not?" How dare you resist the decree. His voice was weak, but it was still majestic.
The imperial concubine kowtowed: "Please have mercy on Your Majesty." ”
The Emperor let out a long breath, and fell on the bed again from the exhaustion of holding up his head and talking for a little longer: "My time is numbered. "Saying such words is tantamount to pleading.
The imperial concubine had tears in her eyes: "The concubine is willing to serve by His Majesty's side forever, or serve the Buddha to ask His Majesty to have a good dragon body." ”
The emperor's face changed suddenly, and anger flashed: "This is a little ...... for you, but it is also a great benefit, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't trust you; In other words, anyone in the palace would have already bowed to the ground and kowtowed. ”
The imperial concubine is still kowtowing, if she really kowtows, she will accept the order, I am afraid that what awaits her now is a glass of poisoned wine.
The emperor sighed after being silent for a long time: "Are you still blaming me for not protecting my daughter back then?" I also know that I have suffered you all these years, but you are also wrong, and the emperor cannot act as he pleases, many things can only be thought about; I can't keep my daughter, it's me, I'm sorry for you. ”
The imperial concubine's tears poured out: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't have it, the concubine doesn't dare; It's the princess, she has no blessings, it's the concubine who is sorry for the emperor and the princess. When she thought of that Yuxue's lovely daughter, and thought of her softly and sweetly calling herself her mother, her heart hurt so much that she almost fainted.
She had forgotten that for so many years she had lived in seclusion just to concentrate on one thing: to forget that delicate little girl, to forget that she had once given birth to a royal princess; She had almost done it, and there would be no more waves when she saw the other princesses in the palace, but it was destroyed by the emperor's two words - the little figure who was staggering, stubbornly refused to let people hold or help people as soon as she learned to walk, and had to walk by herself appeared in front of her.
It turned out that she had never forgotten it, but she didn't dare to think about it, and buried all those happiness deeply, deeply, so deep that she thought she had forgotten it.
The imperial concubine, who couldn't cry, lay down in front of the dragon bed and muttered over and over again: "The concubine doesn't have it, the concubine doesn't dare." ”
The emperor raised his hand and wanted to touch the woman who had moved his heart when he looked back under the flower tree, but found that he no longer had so much strength, so he reluctantly gave up: "For the sake of that magnolia flower, is it okay to promise me?" I am really not at ease, you know best how much effort I have put into government politics over the years, but God, God refuses to give me more time; How can you let me close my eyes, Lian Lizhi? ”
When the imperial concubine heard the emperor's last whispered three words, "Lian Lizhi", her heart was like a knife, and she shook her head again and again: "Your Majesty, you will be able to do well, and the concubine is still waiting to get Your Majesty's love and pity in the coming year, and watch the magnolia flowers together." ”
The emperor smiled, so softly, so lightly, as if only a hint of wind could blow his laughter off, as if his life, as long as a little wind could bring him back to heaven: "I really want to, I have never forgotten the words under the moon, but ......; My daughter and the child in your womb make me have to take a step back; Not looking at you is to protect you. ”
"Don't you really understand?" No mistakes, no word skipping. The emperor's smile was finally replaced by bitterness: "I, I have made you suffer." ”
The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at the emperor, and her voice trembled: "My children, my two children are not providential?" She looked directly at the Emperor and asked what she had asked but received a providential answer, something she had wanted to ask countless times over the years but had not had the opportunity to ask.
"Not providence;" The emperor lowered his eyelids: "But I have already avenged you, how can I let that person go free for so many years; It is my blood and bones, and I will not allow anyone to harm my children; It doesn't matter who she is. ”
The imperial concubine lowered her head and gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty, who is it?" ”
"People are already dead, so why do you ask?" The emperor looked at her: "Help me, the only person I can trust in the huge palace is you." ”
The imperial concubine was silent, and it took a long time for her to say softly: "Concubine, obey the order." She fell to her knees at the Emperor's bed, two bean-sized tears falling on the belt of her clothes.
The emperor closed his eyes when he heard this: "What happened back then was that I was sorry for you, no matter who did it, I was incompetent; I will wait for you for a hundred years, and I will pay you back all the things I owe you all these years. He really didn't want to mention the events of that year, because it was a lifelong shame for him, and there were too many people and things involved in saying it, and what he needed most now was stability when he was seriously ill and the prince's wedding.
At the same time, he didn't have the energy to say too much, but the things of the year were not explained in a few words, in case the imperial concubine misunderstood, then where would he find someone?
"I entrusted you to the Queen Mother, maybe I made it clear to the prince, you don't have to worry about it in the future;" The emperor was very tired: "I, I really want to see the magnolia flowers, especially when the new moon rises; The aroma ...... "He fell asleep before he finished his words, because he was so tired to-day, and because he had finally let go of his preoccupations.
The imperial concubine looked at the sleeping emperor, looked at it for a long time, and then slowly got up, then turned around and walked out of the Fengyuan Hall gently.
The prince in the east palace slept very peacefully and very sweetly; Tomorrow he is going to get married, so he needs to have a good mental outlook, and besides, he believes that Gonggong Liu at the door and Deputy Commander Meng in the outhouse: there is no need to worry about them in the prince.
He had seen the three Liangdi who had entered the palace today, and had convinced everyone that he had treated them differently from the others; It is really not easy to do this, and it is no less painstaking than him meeting the ministers of the DPRK and China.
But with everything under control, he really has nothing to worry about; After the wedding, the second emperor brother will have a big gift that will make him even more happy; Especially knowing that the second emperor's brother can't sleep tonight, the concubines in the palace, including the three Liangdi who were newly brought in from the East Palace, can't sleep, and the prince sleeps peacefully and soundly.
For so many years, he has not slept peacefully or steadily; Especially in the years after the mother queen fairy went, he had to be careful and cautious everywhere when he ate and slept, for fear of being harmed: so many people were worried tonight, it was too far from his past, but it also made him feel good, and it was impossible to sleep sweetly.
Chapter 261: Don't Seek Merit
The prince is asleep, and the four palace people, of course, he will not let people catch the handle according to the etiquette system: sometimes this is the case with being a king, even if his ability in a certain aspect will become a determining condition for whether he can ascend to the throne; As for whether to leave one or two palace people tomorrow to seal the title, this matter can't be decided in a hurry - the prince laughed in his sleep, and it was worth using his brains to keep it or not.
The dispute between the people of the palace passed, and none of the four were left by the prince, and they were all carried out and sent to the room where the fragrant soup and soft bed had been prepared; Since then, they will become the head of the first division at worst, and even the current enjoyment is very different from the original, which they never dared to imagine.
Seeing a few little palace maids respectfully asking them to take medicine and take a bath, the four palace people forgot all about the difference, even the bitter medicinal juice became a lot sweeter: the medicinal juice is the proper meaning, unless it is the queen mother, the emperor or the crown prince has a life, otherwise they have to take the medicinal juice - not all of them can add to the royal family.
When the four people in the palace were carried away, there was no sound in the three halls that were already inhabited in the east palace, and the black lights had already fallen asleep; But only the people in the temple knew whether they were asleep or not.
The next day, the palace was busy before the chickens crowed, and Hongluan didn't have much to do because of her injuries, but it wasn't without her errands: she existed in the palace because the nobles needed someone to serve, even if they were injured or sick, as long as they could move, it was better to move; Who made her not a noble person in the palace?
None of the palace slaves can be idle today, because the prince's wedding is busy everywhere; The eunuchs and palace maids who came from every place did not show their faces for the first time, but secretly stuffed things, gold and silver, and only begged the palace slave court to give one more person.
Today, nothing can go wrong, but it is related to the life of the family, and no one dares not to care, so they will send things to the people in power in the palace slave house.
No matter who received the things, because Hongluan had a word first, they were all handed over to Hongluan and recorded in the account book: these property Hongluan said that everyone in the palace slave courtyard has a share; Of course, the premise is that there are no mistakes, and you must do your best; The better and more errands you do, the more silver you will receive.
Hongluan has only one requirement today, not to seek merit but to be without fault; Wealth can only be given to those who do errands, just to make everyone work hard and work hard; There is a reward to be punished, in order to ensure that there is no mistake in today's busyness, Hongluan's punishment is also set very heavy, as long as the person who does the wrong errand can come back and forth, all of them will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau after hitting the board, which is still light.
If the mistakes made involve others, especially those who are involved in the palace slave courtyard, they will all be sent to the Shanggong Bureau to be dealt with by the Shanggong Lord and the Gongzheng, and the lightest is to behead the whole family; This matter has been approved by the Shang Palace Bureau, but it is not for Hongluan to say it and it is scary to play - no one dares to ignore such a heavy punishment.
Because everyone is already familiar with Hongluan's temperament, and knows that she will definitely do what she says, even if Hongluan will be unlucky, it will be after taking the lives of some people who have done something wrong; Therefore, those who have been instructed and received certain benefits and are ready to make trouble today do not dare to do anything.
Even if there are rewards and punishments, it is impossible to do everything well with the current manpower of the Gongnuyuan; Don't say it's the prince's wedding, even if it's a feast on some festivals, there will always be people in the palace slave court who will be held accountable: it is a big and good thing for the prince and others, and it is equivalent to a life talisman for the people of the palace slave court.
However, the current palace slave courtyard is different in the hands of Hongluan, she has let the palace slaves learn a lot of things, many palace slaves are both numerical skills, and each palace slave has a certain skill that is extremely proficient: it can be used as two, or even one as three.
After announcing the rewards and punishments, Hongluan personally assigned people to go out according to the situation in various places in the palace; She told every palace maid who went out on an errand: If you want to save your life today, don't care about your aunt's face, the palace maid is originally to serve the nobles, and her face is definitely not as important as an errand today, so let them help if they can help and don't just beat the palace slaves.
I believe that as long as the palace maids who don't do things on weekdays are willing to do the same errands with the palace slaves in a shameless way, the palace slaves will be more serious and work harder.
When she was dividing people, Xing'er quietly came over and whispered: "Xiaoyuan entered the girl's room, and there is no one waiting in that room now." ”
Hongluan kept dealing with the matter at hand, and took advantage of a little gap to say, "Listen to what they are saying." Her mind wasn't taken away by Madoka, she knew very well what the most important thing was today.
The palace slaves did not receive an errand once, and some errands were completed quickly: such as cleaning all over the palace; And some errands need to be done for a long time: for example, in the imperial dining room, they get up at the same time as Hongluan and others, but they have to be busy until after the feast tonight before they can take a breath.
In this way, Hongluan needs to divide the palace slaves who come back to work in different places according to their strengths: this is very testing, the first errand received, the time of the errand received later, the reduction of physical strength, etc., Hongluan must be carefully considered.
It is because of Hongluan's preparation that is sufficient, coupled with the help of several capable people, that the errands of the palace slaves are arranged in an extremely orderly manner; The flow of people in the palace slave courtyard is endless, but it is well organized - because Hongluan's arrangement is very good, so some palace slaves who are very tired from errands also get some time to rest and eat.
Seeing that Hongluan was busy and sweating profusely, although she was just sitting here, Xing'er knew that Hongluan was also extremely tired, and her work was sometimes more tiring than labor, and she couldn't help but say: "You go and rest for a while, even if you squint for a while, sitting for a long time is not good for your wounds, and standing for a long time is too tired." ”
Hongluan shook his head: "It's okay, there must be no mistake today." She gritted her teeth and supported, waiting for today she had waited too long and too long, whether the palace slave house could be held in her hands in the future was all in today's move.
She changed the rules in the palace slave courtyard, and everyone in the palace knew about it, and no one knew about it, and there were also things she said, and now she didn't change the rules because the big girl was her own person, otherwise the palace slave courtyard would not be what it is today; And today, the people of the palace slave house complete all the errands without making mistakes, which is her powerful response to all those who are dissatisfied with the change of the rules of the palace slave house.
She must hit this palm loudly: she doesn't need the palace slaves to make meritorious contributions, she just hopes that they will not make mistakes and do all the errands well, and she can throw a palm on the faces of those who want to stretch out their hands to the palace slaves.
