The first day of April is a good day, the triennial scientific expedition has ended successfully, and Yinzhen is also recovering from a serious illness. On the morning of this day, at dawn, Huizhu got up, ordered Xiao Ranzi to lead the palace people to clean up the water pavilion with a few locust trees planted next to it, and explained the matter of cleaning the yard.

This morning, when he opened his eyes, he didn't see Huizhu, Yinzhen was quite unaccustomed, and when he came back, he asked, "I didn't see anyone this morning, what did I do?" Even the yard is a little noisy. Hui Zhu entered the house and blessed her body at will, so she pushed open the door one by one while walking along the wall, and replied: "You have been sick for a long time, and now you are all well, you must clean the yard to get rid of the sickness." ”

After hearing this, Yin Zhen frowned and said, "The inner hall also needs to be cleaned?" I said yesterday that I would personally write the content of the commendation in the edict. ”

As soon as she heard this, Huizhu remembered what happened last month, and turned her head to glance at Yinzhen? muttered in a low voice: "It's the imperial examination again?" Last month, the emperor's dragon body was not complete, so he had to read the test paper in person. Now that it's good, how can I still remember! After speaking, he reluctantly replied to Yinzhen's words, and said: "Although the courtyard is to be cleaned up, but the concubine has been instructed to go down, Bai will post the square Ba Shui Pavilion before the crossing to clean up, and the emperor will go there to deal with government affairs for a while, and by the way, you can also see the scenery of a garden, which is also pleasant." ”

This is not bad, Yin Zhen soothed his eyebrows, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The arrangement is good, there are acacia flowers planted next to the water pavilion, and it is just right to summon Zhang Tingyu and his son at that time." "Zhang Tingyu Kangxi is a jinshi in his 30th and ninth years, and is currently the Minister of Military Aircraft, with the title of junior and the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination. And this year, his parent-child reference, when Yinzhen read the papers, he suddenly found that his son's article had the style of an ancient minister, so he allocated a third place (Tanhua), but this matter was postponed by Zhang Tingyu, and the repeated visits were postponed, and the son was humble. So the action of 'tiramisu hand fighting' entered Yinzhen's eyes and wanted to praise it.

When Huizhu heard Yinzhen say this, her eyes immediately widened, and she secretly regretted that she shouldn't have packed up the water pavilion and came out. She also knew that the last time she came to the audience, she dragged Yinzhen to talk in the study for more than two hours, which made Yinzhen even delay the time to take medicine. Now, she really feels a little sorry for Zhang Tingyu, who was praised by Yinzhen as the "one propaganda force" among the Han ministers.

However, it is one thing to complain about slander in my heart, but Huizhu will not interject more on the bright side, but when Yinzhen is about to go to Baishui Du Pavilion to stick his chin, he must not call Xiaolu to tell him carefully, and he will take care of the original bullet with a little peace of mind. For a while, all the things that should be removed and replaced in the house were packed up. Huizhu sat down on the wooden kang, took the flower tea held by Su Xin, took a sip, relieved her strength, and sighed lightly: "I haven't had much to do in half a year, but when I get busy a little bit, I feel tired." ”

Nothing to do in half a year? Su Xin silently recited these words, and the words that had been suppressed in her heart for months came to her lips again. Now that Yinzhen has recovered from his illness, there should be a plan for this Liu family's affairs, is it just like this. Seeing that the Liu family should give birth in less than a month or two, in case Christmas is the prince, it will really make her promoted, and then share the favor in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Xin glanced at Huizhu several times without a trace, hesitating to ask, but worried that these days, Huizhu has put a lot of effort into Yinzhen's body, and he has lost a lot of weight. At this time, Yinzhen finally recovered from her illness, can she breathe a sigh of relief, can she add to the blockage at this time and mention the Liu family?

I didn't hear Su Xin's breath for a while, and when I saw her thoughtful expression, I was curious: "What's the matter, what are you thinking, so focused on ants." Hearing the question, Su Xin hurriedly came back to his senses, rested his thoughts, and found inconsequential words to cover up: "On the first and fifteenth days of the new year, the emperor and the lord and son generally eat vegetarian dishes, and the slave maid thinks that this afternoon, the emperor is most likely to leave Lord Zhang's father and son for dinner, and these dishes should be prepared." At that moment, Huizhu was attracted by these words, and she lost the first questioning and discussed the matter of eating for lunch.

Just as they were talking, Baolian and Xiao Ranzi entered the house, the master and servant stopped talking, and Huizhu asked, "I came back early this morning, didn't I study with your fourth brother in Leshantang?" Baolian walked up to Huizhu and sat down, pouted and said, "Anyway, it's to accompany the reading, so I'll come back early." “

Seeing Baolian's listless appearance, Huizhu thought about it for a while, and guessed that Fu Heng made her unhappy not to 'leave the grass hand', and couldn't help laughing: "But you're arguing with Fu Heng again?" "You're too, you just don't know how to be astringent, it's really spoiling you.

Baolian pouted and retorted: "Whoever wants to quarrel with him, Erchen came back early after listening to Mr. talk about current affairs." The words were so, but the bottom of his eyes was dark.

Huizhu was aware of this subtle change, and then looked at it, and now Baolian's carefree pretty face was a few times sad and sorrowful, and her emotions were suddenly biased, but she felt that it was not appropriate to talk about it at this time, so she only took Baolian's hand and sighed: "As a royal princess, there are many helpless places, especially when it comes to marriage. But at this point, E-Niang never interfered, and asked for your Huang Ama's consent, as long as it is not too much, let you choose what you like. But if the person you like is really not suitable, it is better to listen to Eniang. Instantly, Baolian's eyes were red, but she didn't want others to show up, so she hurriedly buried herself in Huizhu's arms, and nodded sullenly: "Eniang, Erchen knows." ”

Xiao Ranzi was clever, and seeing that the atmosphere of the 'frog hand beating' was a little low, he hurriedly said "ouch", and joked with himself: "Look at the memory of the slave and maid, Father-in-law Fang Cai Lu sent someone to say that the emperor was going to leave Lord Zhang's father and son for lunch, but he didn't reply like the master." It's really worth fighting. As he spoke, he snapped his mouth and said no.

Baolian burst into tears and laughed, leaned her head out of Huizhu's arms, and said "Lord Zhang's father and son", her eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly realized: "Lord Zhang's father and son, it is Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Ruowei's father and son." Yesterday, the fourth brother also took Zhang Ruowei's essay for the exam, and Erchen also read it. I really can't imagine that he is not a few years older than Erchen, and the ants have the knowledge to make this work, and even the master of the imperial study said that it was good. After that, he felt that he shouldn't leave Leshantang without permission because he was annoyed with Fu Heng, so he said goodbye to Huizhu and left the house.

In the end, she couldn't worry about her daughter, Huizhu hurriedly asked Su Xin to follow and take a look, and then she turned her mind to the matter of lunch, and said the dishes that she had drawn up first, and called Xiao Ranzi to prepare.

As soon as the matter passed, unconsciously at noon, Xiaojuan led Gong E to set the table, and stood aside to serve the cloth and other things. After a while, Huizhu put down her chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore. Seeing this, Xiao Juan hurriedly said: "But I don't have the appetite for the master, or the slave maid will let the kitchen be served again." Huizhu stopped and said, "No, a monster eater who has no appetite." When the emperor comes back, I will use some snacks. Xiaojuan saw that Huizhu had eaten too little, and she wanted to persuade her again, but she heard Ah Xing say that someone asked to see her, so she stopped talking for the time being.

After a while, I saw Ah Xing bring in a small palace supervisor. The little palace eunuch was scared, and he didn't dare to gasp and waited behind Ah Xing, and as soon as Hou Fu entered the house, he saw that the room should be exquisitely furnished, and the palace ladies who were waiting for them with Qingshu Meng and other things were all wearing flower pots embroidered with bat patterns. The Baiyi curtain post in front of him, Ba was already a great scene for him, a little eunuch who worked in the big kitchen, and he couldn't help but be even more uneasy.

"What's the matter?" After rinsing her mouth, Huizhu took the towel and wiped her mouth before asking. 'Red Wine Lemon Hand-beaten'

Ah Xing pointed to the little palace eunuch and replied: "When he said that he was about to deliver lunch, Concubine Liu Niangniang shouted that her stomach hurt, and he didn't dare to hide it before he came to ask the Lord to pass on the news." Without waiting for Huizhu's reaction, the little palace eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", trembling and said: "The slave does not dare to deceive the mother, and the mother spares her life." As he spoke, he couldn't stop crying.

Huizhu was anxious to know about the Liu family, but the little palace eunuch only knew how to cry, and couldn't help but say in a displeased tone: "Cry a lot!" Don't hurry up and say what's wrong with Concubine Liu! Listening to Huizhu's unkind tone, the little palace supervisor listened to how Concubine Xi used the means to favor the harem, or to deal with Concubine Liu's words, and was even more shocked for a while, and couldn't say a word for a while, until Huizhu stood up and asked directly, Fang said intermittently: "Today is a slave who only went to deliver lunch once, and I was afraid of delaying the hour, so I went early." Concubine Liu is benevolent, no, not benevolent. Ant. Hand. Beat. System. As a reward, the slave had to say some auspicious words, but he didn't say a word, and Uncle Liu was afraid of a stomachache, so he had to be bold enough to ask to see his mother."

After hearing this, Huizhu was in a hurry, and reflexively hurried to Liu's courtyard, and did not forget to instruct as she went: "Imperial Doctor, tell Imperial Doctor to hurry up." Before he finished speaking, Huizhu stopped violently, hesitating in his heart. Liu was deliberately forgotten by her, because she was afraid that mentioning her would lead to Yinzhen's anger again, or involve Shang Hongli. But Liu's identity is unknown, and the dead Yun Yu is also involved

Seeing Huizhu's hesitation, Xiao Ranzi thought about it in her heart, hurriedly stepped forward, and said in her ear: "The matter of Concubine Liu's pregnancy as a dragon heir is well known, seeing that she is about to give birth, how many pairs of eyes are watching the movements of the master. At this time, the Lord must not leave the handle to others. Hearing this, Huizhu was shocked, no matter how pregnant Liu was, in the eyes of the world, she was just pregnant with a dragon heir. Thinking of this, Huizhu was not ambiguous, and hurriedly sent Xiao Ranzi to ask Taibai to cross, and took the little palace supervisor to find Yinzhen.

While walking quickly, he asked the little palace supervisor carefully, and he didn't realize that he had reached the water pavilion. The palace guards outside the Water Pavilion stood with knives, and Huizhu didn't care that there were outsiders in the pavilion, so she beat the palace people to spread the word

When I was young, when I was waiting a little anxiously, I saw the curtain of the Water Pavilion lifted, and Zhang Yanyu came out with a handsome young man who was eighteen or nineteen years old. Huizhu thought about it for a while, and knew that this young man was his son Zhang Ruoge, and couldn't help but praise secretly, what a handsome young man, it is rare not to be as pedantic as his father.

Just thinking about it, the father and son had already done the 'silver fox hand beating', and both knelt down and saluted. Because she wanted to avoid it, Huizhu was anxious again, so she only said "um", hurriedly turned around and went to the Water Pavilion, and Oak Yinzhen recounted Liu's clan. Unexpectedly, Yin Zhen snorted coldly, his thin lips outlined a stunning arc, and Sen Ran said: "The mother and son should have died in childbirth, but now it's just in advance." ”

(Although the Manchus and Han did not intermarry at that time, Baolian's identity was different, and I wanted to bring Baolian Lantern and Zhang Ruoge in one stroke.) And everyone seems to be very disappointed with this article, and they have nothing to say at all, so they just read it. I still hope you can talk about it. ）
