Chapter 122: Drawing the Line
Then Yun Yao looked at the eunuch again, as if pointing at someone at random, and said, "You are the head of Yongshou Palace!" ”
Liang Jiugong smiled bitterly, looking at Zhao Concubine's attitude of not caring about the eunuch, and with Zhao Concubine's careless attitude, Liang Jiugong obviously felt that Zhao Concubine naturally despised the eunuch.
Therefore, Liang Jiugong cautiously asked: "The slave asked Concubine Zhao, is that little eunuch such a blessing?" ”
Yun Yao said: "Just the little eunuch in the third row on the left, where does this palace remember seeing you?" ”
The little eunuch was neither humble nor arrogant: "Enlighten the master, when the master was in the draft, the slave was fortunate to do something for the slave, and the slave also gave the slave a reward, and the slave has always been grateful." ”
Yun Yao suddenly said: "Oh, I see, no wonder this palace thinks I've seen you!" This palace remembers that your name is Xiao Lizi, right? ”
Yun Yao seemed to be interested, and said, "This palace doesn't know your name yet!" ”
Xiao Li Zi replied respectfully: "Master, the minion's cheap name is Li Fulu." ”
Yun Yao said: "You have a fate with this palace, since this is the case, then you are the head of Yongshou Palace!" ”
Liang Jiugong joked on the side: "Since he is destined for Niangniang, why didn't Niangniang give him a name?" ”
When Liang Jiugong heard the name of this little plum, he felt bad. Liang Jiugong knew that Zhao Concubine Niangniang's Ama name was Wu Lulai, although there is no such concept of evasion now, but if Zhao Concubine does not forgive, others can't say anything, after all, it is not a good thing for a eunuch to have the same name as his own Amma.
So Liang Jiugong hurriedly interjected and asked Yun Yao to name the little eunuch.
Xiao Lizi is also clever, knelt down and said, "Please also ask the master to give a name." ”
Yun Yao said: "Since your name is Fulu, and you are assigned to the eternal longevity palace of this palace, this Fulu has a long life, which is a good sign, so I will call you Dequan, Li Dequan!" ”
Yun Yao is also a bad taste, she has also watched a lot of Qing court dramas in modern times, and naturally knows that there is a fictional character of Li Dequan in it, and there is no such person in history. But Yun Yao is now giving this name to her cronies, and she also hopes for a good omen.
Liang Jiugong saw that Yun Yao was full of interest, and he didn't mean to blame this little eunuch, but he was relieved. It's not that Liang Jiugong knows this little eunuch, but that Liang Jiugong doesn't want to destroy the impression in Yun Yao's heart, especially since this little eunuch was brought by him.
Yun Yao said again: "Originally, there was nothing taboo about your name, but the name of Ama in this palace collided with you, not that this palace and the royal family should be avoided, but although this palace is already a royal person, it can't be called the name of Ama in this palace." So I can only wronged you to change your name. ”
Li Dequan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave has committed the name of Niangniang Amma, please forgive the mother." ”
And Liang Jiugong next to him was also sweating like rain, and said: "The slave is not doing well, please forgive the mother!" ”
Yun Yao said with a smile: "This ignorant is not guilty, what crime is Manager Liang invited?" The father-in-law is a person from the inner court, how can he always pay attention to the foreign ministers, and besides, the palace Ama is not a character on a famous brand, and many people in the Eight Banners have the same name, is it possible that this palace is still being held accountable? As for Xiao Lizi, you don't have to ask for guilt, this avoidance has never been only the royal family, and it is rare if you know, but the palace doesn't want to call Amma's name directly. ”
Liang Jiugong's heart sank even more when he heard this, he didn't know that Concubine Zhao was beating him, but his matter was really wrong, this little eunuch didn't know that it was forgivable, and it was ridiculous for him to say that he didn't know. Seeing this situation, Concubine Zhao was really dissatisfied with him this time.
Liang Jiugong regretted in his heart that he was careless in doing things, but Liang Jiugong knew that this was also his own problem, this time he took the opportunity to get close to Concubine Zhao with a purpose, but he made such a big mistake, he just angered a queen, and this angered a favorite concubine! Liang Jiugong also reflected on his own problems at this time.
Yun Yao saw that the heat was almost over, so she said: "This matter is not a big deal, it's just that the palace is taking care of it, don't mind the head of Wangliang." There is also Xiao Lizi, this palace is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, Li Dequan, this palace is a good talker, you are still the head of this palace, and you have suffered an unjustified disaster in this matter, hurry up! ”
Li Dequan hurriedly said: "The slave thanks the master for his kindness!" ”
Yun Yao said again: "Manager Liang, hurry up!" This makes outsiders see it, and they want to say that this palace is bullying you! ”
Liang Jiugong smiled bitterly when he listened to Yun Yao's sharp words, he really didn't expect such a situation to fall today, but in the final analysis, no one would say that it was Concubine Zhao's fault. And Liang Jiugong was not as malicious as he was in the face of the queen, after all, he didn't take care of this matter.
Liang Jiugong also got up with a bitter face and thanked him.
Yun Yao saw that Liang Jiugong's expression was not very good, and felt that she didn't need to offend this Qianqing Palace administrator, so she said: "Father-in-law Liang doesn't need to mind, and this palace still needs Father-in-law Liang's help!" ”
Liang Jiugong didn't dare to hold it anymore at the moment, and hurriedly said attentively: "If you have anything to say, the slave will definitely do it this time." ”
Yun Yao smiled and said: "There is nothing else, this eunuch has already picked two in the palace, and the rest will bother Father-in-law Liang!" Gonggong Liang is the chief eunuch, and he must be familiar with these little eunuchs, so it's good to pick a few loyal and honest ones for the palace. ”
When Liang Jiugong heard this, he also knew that this time the matter could not be messed up, I am afraid that Concubine Zhao Niangniang also took a fancy to him by the emperor's side for many years this time, and he knew the details of these eunuchs well, so he let him choose.
However, although Liang Jiugong knew what Yun Yao meant, he didn't dare to refute it. Who made him behave so poorly in front of Zhao Concubine before.
Therefore, he said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave must pick a few loyal and honest little eunuchs." ”
Liang Jiugong first screened out a few eunuchs who were co-opted by the concubines, but the eunuchs in the palace had a certain backer after being able to have such a good errand, so Liang Jiugong picked a few people from the emperor, and a few little eunuchs who were not rich in money and bribed others to come over.
Liang Jiugong is not all kind, except for the emperor's people, those low-level little eunuchs are very lively, although there is no one behind them, but if they can't be subdued, these people will not take refuge in others. Liang Jiugong only guaranteed the loyalty of these people in the short term.
Yun Yao naturally didn't know what Liang Jiugong meant, but Yun Yao's requirements were not so high, as long as there was no one else's eyeliner among these people for the time being, except for the emperor, other Yun Yao had their own means to subdue these little eunuchs. Not to mention that this Li Dequan was originally the person his uncle prepared for her, and with such a helper, Yun Yao was not worried that these little eunuchs would get out of control.
Liang Jiugong picked a few little eunuchs for Yun Yao to look at, Yun Yao glanced at them casually and said, "This palace naturally believes in Liang's vision, just these people!" ”
Liang Jiugong saw that Yun Yao agreed, so he asked the eunuchs and palace maids who were not selected to be led back to the Internal Affairs Mansion.
Liang Jiugong was already a little impatient to leave the Yongshou Palace at this time, and today he was stimulated more than before combined, where did he still want to get the matter of wooing Concubine Zhao before. Therefore, he said: "Zhao Concubine Niangniang, I don't know if there is anything unsatisfactory in this Yongshou Palace?" Niangniang can tell the minions, and the minions will ask the people from the Internal Affairs Office to change them. ”
Yun Yao said with a smile: "No need, this palace is very good at watching this Yongshou Palace Chief Liang clean up, and this palace has no opinion." ”
Liang Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Then since this is the case, the slave still has to report to the saint, and the slave will retire." ”
Yun Yao said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there will not be much left in the palace, and Li Dequan will send Liang Gonggong out of the palace." ”
Li Dequan was very clever and helped Liang Jiugong and said, "Grandpa Liang, the little one will be sent to you." ”
Liang Jiugong hurriedly retreated: "No need, no need, the slave is leaving." ”
After speaking, Liang Jiugong withdrew from Yongshou Palace, and Li Dequan was also clever, following Liang Jiugong as if he wanted to support him, and said as he walked: "Father-in-law Liang, slow down, be careful of falling." ”
Yun Yao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Liang Jiugong running so fast. Of course, Yun Yao knew that Liang Jiugong would not be so attentive this time just because of her uncle's friendship with him. Yun Yao also knew Liang Jiugong in his previous life, although Liang Jiugong was not as arrogant and domineering as Wei Zhu in his previous life, but he was also a difficult master, and in his previous life, Liang Jiugong seemed to be implicated in the concubine of the harem, which caused Kangxi to put him in the cold palace.
Yun Yao didn't want to lose the emperor's trust because of a Liang Jiugong. Therefore, after Yun Yao caught Liang Jiugong's mistake, he spoke coldly to Liang Jiugong, and drew a clear line with Liang Jiugong in front of the public. In this way, the emperor can eliminate the impression that Yun Yao and the eunuch are colluded.
As for whether they will offend Liang Jiugong, Yun Yao said that these eunuchs are all mercenary people, as long as they don't touch their bottom line, even if Yun Yao offends them, only if she is still favored, Liang Jiugong will not really offend her.
It's just that Liang Jiugong is still a trusted person by the emperor, so he asked Caiyun to come over and whisper instructions, let her send a message to Qi Wei, and let Qi Wei apologize to Liang Jiugong.
After doing this, Yun Yao was also in the mood to sort out the situation in her palace.
When Yun Yao entered the palace this time, she brought a total of two maids, as well as Mama Su. These two maids are Caiyun and Qiaoxiang. Caiyun is good at pharmacology, and Qiaoxiang is good at eating. These two maids Ma Jia specially prepared for her.
Yun Yao summoned all the people who were waiting for her. Said: "Since you have all arrived in front of the palace, this charter should also be established." From now on, Mama Su is in charge of the affairs of this Yongshou Palace, Caiyun and Xiangqiao are the personal palace maids of the palace, take the example of the first-class palace maids, the four of you are the second-class palace maids, and Li Dequan, since you are the chief eunuch of the Yongshou Palace, you have to take care of these little eunuchs. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly thanked them.
Yun Yao said again: "On this first day, the palace must add some good signs, Mama Su will take some silver money, and the palace people of Yongshou Palace will be rewarded." ”
Seeing this, Mama Su said, "Yes, master." ”
After Yun Yao dealt with these minions, she let Mama Su and the others go out, and she wanted to take a good rest.
After everyone retreated, Yun Yao lay on the bed thinking about what had just happened.
Yun Yao complained in her heart at this time about her uncle's whimsy, Yun Yao never imagined that before entering the palace, why would her uncle be so sure that this little plum would not let others think that it was her person, but she didn't expect this to be the case.
The ancients all said that it was for the Venerable and for the elders, and it was naturally impossible for a slave under Yun Yao to give a name with the same name as his own Amma. Yun Yao remembered the wry smile on Amma's face when her uncle said this, obviously Ama also knew.
And Yun Yao didn't expect that she was pointed to Yongshou Palace by Kangxi, in her last life, Yun Yao lived in the side hall of Yongshou Palace when she was a concubine, and of course, there was no one living in the east and west halls in her previous life. Even the main hall does not have a main seat, which is also the reason why Yun Yao's situation in the harem is not so bad. The Yongshou Palace where Yun Yao lived in her previous life was almost comparable to the Cold Palace, and it was not graceful and luxurious at all. Now I feel a different mood when I revisit the old place.
Yun Yao thought about things and slowly fell asleep.
Qianqing Palace
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked uncertainly, "You said you made Concubine Zhao angry?" Because of what? ”
Liang Jiugong knelt profusely and said, "Holy Lord, it was the slave who was too careless in doing things, and he didn't even find out that a little eunuch had offended the name of Niangniang Ama, which made Concubine Zhao Niangniang angry." ”
Kangxi pondered for a while and asked, "Just a little eunuch?" ”
Liang Jiugong was even more panicked when he heard Kangxi's words: "It's not, it was Niangniang who casually pointed to a chief eunuch, so when she asked his name, Concubine Zhao Niangniang found out about it." ”
Kangxi said: "Pointing to one? Kangxi didn't dwell on the topic just now, but asked Liang Jiugong about another question.
Liang Jiugong said: "Niangniang doesn't seem to be particularly interested in eunuchs, and asked the servants to choose the remaining eunuchs." ”
Kangxi was quite interested in this matter, of course, Kangxi did not suspect that Li Dequan was Yun Yao's person, after all, no one would be stupid enough to give an offending name to the slaves around him, Kangxi was raised under Confucian culture, so he naturally knew the taboos in it, and Yun Yao's family was also regarded as a poetry and book heirloom, so naturally he would not do such a thing.
Kangxi doubted at this time that Tuhai would not prepare a eunuch for his niece! However, thinking that Concubine Zhao was just a girl, she naturally wouldn't have much contact with the eunuchs, and it was understandable that Tu Hai didn't prepare for her.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "I can't do this little thing well, no wonder Concubine Zhao is angry!" That's it, for the sake of your careful service, I'll punish you for half a year, and then be more careful in the future, and then there will be a next time to blame me for being ruthless. ”
Liang Jiugong hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, minion, Saint Longen." ”
Kangxi saw that Liang Jiugong had learned a lesson before he said, "Didn't you say anything to Concubine Zhao?" Otherwise, how could Concubine Zhao let you go so easily? ”
Liang Jiugong said carefully: "The slave talked about Lord Qiwei in front of Niangniang before, I'm afraid it is precisely because of this that Niangniang's subordinates are merciful." ”
Kangxi said: "You and Qi Wei have a good relationship!" ”
Liang Jiugong said cautiously: "Isn't the slave grateful to Lord Qiwei for saving the lives of the emperor and the minion!" Although the situation was not dangerous at that time, Lord Qi Wei didn't know whether it was dangerous or not, so he rushed to Lord Qi Wei's heart for the saint, and the slave had to be kind to Lord Qi Wei! ”
Kangxi eased his face and said, "You don't hold grudges, Concubine Zhao treats you like this, and you still have feelings for Qi Wei?" ”
Liang Jiugong replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare, this time it was the negligence of the slave, Zhao Concubine Niangniang was angry for Ama as a child, and it was too late for the slave to be moved, where to blame Niangniang, let alone implicate Qiwei's guards." Besides, Niangniang's kindness didn't punish the slave much, and the slave naturally didn't dare to complain. ”
Kangxi said with a smile: "Concubine Zhao does have filial piety, and you, a minion, also know how to be grateful for kindness, and you are considered to be grateful." ”
Liang Jiugong patted his ass and said: "This is the good edification of the saint!" The slave was by the side of the saint, and he also received a little benevolence and filial piety. ”
Kangxi scolded with a smile: "You slave, you will say something nice when the time comes!" ”
