Chapter 163: The True Love of Tribulation (Part II)
At a glance, I felt that he was thin, sitting there, his waist was narrow, but fortunately, he was still straight, his green beard had grown a little, and he seemed to be Luotuo, but his eyes were still shining.
The waiter didn't mean to close the door, it seemed that she was asking her to put down her things and leave, but it was already in front of her, and she was always unwilling not to go in, Rong Hua said in a low voice: "I'll change the clothes for the Hou Ye." ”
The two chamberlains nodded, "Please hurry up, Madame." Then he reached out and closed the door.
The light at the door was hidden outside the door, Rong Hua walked over with the package, his eyes were clear, just looking at her, still sitting there without moving.
When I came, I had a full stomach, but I didn't know where to start. Xue Mingrui didn't speak first, and she didn't know what to say or which one to say.
Especially when there are people outside, I don't know when they will open the door and come in and take her out.
"I brought clean clothes to Master Hou." Her hands rested on her clean clothes, her eyes softened, and she looked at him with concern.
Xue Mingrui stood up, Rong Hua took off the old clothes on his body, and went to the last layer of small clothes inside, which was worn by Xue Mingrui himself on weekdays, but now in this situation, he made it clear that he was not ready to do anything, she could only reach out and take off the clothes, bronzed skin, lean body, and an old scar between his chest and abdomen, she had never paid attention to it before, and she never expected that her understanding of him was closer at this time.
It's a layer closer, this cold-faced Hou Ye who she once jokingly called the angry King Kong, is cool-headed and thoughtful, which is unattainable.
After a slight delay, Rong Hua hurriedly took new clothes, served Xue Mingrui and put them on one by one, and put on the last robe Rong Hua stood behind Xue Mingrui, tidied up the robe a little, and was about to get the official uniform, when the door of the room suddenly opened.
The sudden change caught Rong Hua a little off guard, and before she could look at the door, Xue Mingrui's slender fingers held her hand in her hand, she bowed her head slightly, her forehead was against his back, and the light outside the window fell on them clearly.
Standing quietly like this, he took her hand, and she leaned on his back to listen to his heartbeat, still steady and powerful, without the slightest panic.
No matter what happened outside, this moment was so peaceful.
Close his eyes and let go of everything in his heart with the sound of his heartbeat, so relaxed.
The chamberlain stood outside and asked, "The emperor asked, has the Hou Ye thought about it?" If you think about it, follow our family to the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”
Xue Mingrui's voice was clear, and there was almost no hesitation, "I tidied up my clothes and went to meet Grandpa Zhang." ”
The chamberlain smiled and said, "Master Hou hurry up, the emperor is still waiting." ”
Xue Mingrui said: "Annoying father-in-law." ”
The door was reopened.
I didn't expect that before I even said a word, I would have to separate again, although strictly speaking this is not a palace, but it is also very close to the palace, and it is already the emperor's grace to let her enter the house to visit.
It's just that the emperor summoned him now, and she eagerly turned her head to look at Xue Mingrui.
His slender eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a very low voice, "The emperor asked me to figure out whether to unload the errand and go home now, or continue to finish the errand." ”
He looked down at her, "I can't go back yet." ”
Her eyes couldn't help but heat, "I know," she looked up and smiled, "Don't worry, everything is fine at home." ”
He reached out and tucked the shredded hair from her sideburns behind her ear, and in a very low voice, "You've lost weight." ”
It was originally her words, but he took the lead, Rong Hua only felt that the corners of his mouth were raised, but his nose was sore, he hurriedly lowered his head, and before he could take a deep breath, the whole person suddenly lightened, and was picked up by Xue Mingrui and put on the stool, his face was pressed against her forehead, so that she could feel his smile, "Rong Hua, it's almost time, wait for me to go back." ”
He stood up, reached out and picked up his official uniform, stretched out his arms and put it on, expertly fastened his collar button, looked sideways at her, and then walked straight to the door.
The door opened, and Rong Hua watched the tall and straight figure disappear into the rain.
……
"Mrs. Wu Muhou, the carriage in the house will stop in front." This is not the road she came from.
Maybe the palace has made some arrangements.
The chamberlain who led the way said, "It's raining too much, this road is closer." ”
It seems to be a gift from the Queen Mother, Rong Hua nodded, "There is Gonggong Lao." ”
The chamberlain handed over the waist card, and Rong Hua went out of the palace gate by himself.
Jinxiu was waiting outside with an umbrella, and when she saw Rong Hua hurriedly coming up, she saw Rong Hua smiling slightly, and Jinxiu was relieved.
Walking forward with Rong Hua, Jinxiu looked at the carriage with flickering eyes, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, Mrs. Cai of Yicheng Hou is waiting for Mrs. in the carriage." ”
Mrs. Cai? Rong Hua thought for a moment, looked at Jinxiu and said, "Get in the car"
Mrs. Niu hurriedly took the step stool, Rong Hua opened the carriage door, and saw Mrs. Cai smiling inside at a glance.
Rong Hua stepped forward to salute, and Mrs. Cai replied with a smile, "The concubine is a little unwell, I handed the sign and went in to take a look, but I didn't expect to see Mrs. Wu Muhou's carriage when I came out, so I thought about coming up and saying a few words to Mrs. ”
Rong Hua smiled slightly, isn't it just by the way, otherwise who would wait in the carriage for so long in such weather, especially since she got married and had no contact with the Zhao family, how could there be such a heavy friendship.
Mrs. Cai said again: "Let's talk as we go." ”
Rong Hua gave an order to let the carriage move forward, and after walking a distance, Mrs. Cai just wanted to speak, Rong Hua had already said: "I heard that my sister is sick, is it better these days?" ”
The Tao family asked Lang Zhong to see Shuhua, she asked people to inquire, and Lang Zhong received the Xue family's post, which means that Tao Ronghua knew Shuhua's condition, and now that Tao Ronghua mentioned it, she couldn't avoid it. Mrs. Xue sighed, her face was sad, "I invited a few Lang Zhong to see, the improvement is not great, the weather is not good these days, although the charcoal fire is used in the house, but her hands and feet are still cold, if you add it, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand the charcoal gas." ”
Although it rained for a few days, after all, it was summer, where was the need to set a charcoal fire in the house? Could it be that Shuhua's illness has really reached such a serious point?
Mrs. Cai glanced at Rong Hua, "It just so happens that the wife of the in-laws is sick, and Shuhua always says that she wants to see the Tao family." Especially the in-laws' wife and the second miss," said the corners of his eyes, revealing a little sadness, "I have been discussing with my in-laws these days, can I let the second miss come to the house to see Shuhua, and the in-laws also said that the second miss will come over in the next two days." ”
Let Yaohua go to see Shuhua?
Mrs. Cai said: "Lang Zhong said that this disease does not necessarily mean that it cannot be raised, as long as you can eat grains." Shuhua saw the second lady, and the sisters talked, and it was not necessary that the condition would improve. ”
Yaohua ...... Rong Hua's heart sank.
Seeing that Rong Hua didn't speak, Mrs. Cai said, "Recently, I just heard that Wu Muhou took such an errand, and I knew that I had to find a way to push it off if I said anything." ”
Xue Mingrui took over the errand of supervising defense affairs for not a day or two, who in the government and the opposition could not know, let alone Mrs. Cai, the sister of the imperial concubine, but before the victory or defeat was decided, everyone was just sitting on the wall and watching.
Mrs. Cai sighed and said, "Do you know the origin of the Ministry of Works' Shangshu's encouragement?" ”
Rong Hua shook his head.
Mrs. Cai's eyebrows furrowed, and her face was a little heavy, "That Shi Mian is just a local acquaintance, and later because he has a good reputation, he has won the sacred heart after completing the exam, and he has made an exception to mention the book of the Ministry of Industry." Shi Mian did do a few major things when he first arrived at the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor wrote three in a row on his fold to praise him as a capable minister in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and he had to write the word 'Fu' to him every year, "said to look at Rong Hua, "Although many people know that there are mistakes in the defense of Gyeonggi over the years, who dares to say half a sentence casually, after all, Shi Mian is not only a celebrity in front of the emperor, but also Prince Zhuang......"
Mrs. Cai's eyes were quite meaningful.
Especially when it comes to Prince Zhuang, that look seems to say, you and I know it.
I didn't expect that the defense of Gyeonggi would bring out so much at once, no wonder everyone talked about it. If the Empress Dowager's meaningful words were not understood by her, Mrs. Cai's trip was to further let her understand that Xue Mingrui was not facing a flood.
Mrs. Cai looked at Rong Hua and frowned slightly, thinking about it, she was overjoyed, the first time she saw Tao Ronghua came back to her mind, how did she not find out that Tao Ronghua was not only a rare beauty, but also a little atmospheric.
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Hearing Rong Hua ask, Mrs. Cai said: "Wu Muhou's errand is not so simple, if you don't start with Shi Xian, I'm afraid it will be ...... The Ministry of Industry will not be so easy for the emperor to adopt Wu Muhou's opinion, otherwise the boss Chen Ran would not have committed suicide, do you know that Lord Chen Ran was honest and honest, but he raised a misbehaving son, not only in debt but also with a human life. ”
Rong Hua couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he heard this.
In the end, she is young, after she said this, Tao Ronghua was a little flustered, Mrs. Cai smiled slightly in her heart, and hit the railway while it was hot: "There is a problem with the construction of the embankment by the Ministry of Industry, so naturally it is not allowed to blow up the embankment." For today's plan, only by bringing out the Ministry of Industry's greed for ink can everything be logical. "Xue Mingrui's proposal to blow up the newly built embankment is not to see the case of the Ministry of Industry's embezzlement of ink, and he wants to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor. As soon as the Ministry of Industry's corruption of ink came out, it was bound to be a sensation in Beijing.
Mrs. Cai took out the envelope in her hand and handed it to Rong Hua, "You have to find a way to send this letter to Wu Muhou, the evidence in it is enough to make the emperor believe it." ”
Rong Hua's eyes flashed as he looked at the letter.
Mrs. Cai said: "It is not appropriate for anyone to take out this letter now, after all, the errand of supervising defense is on Hou Ye, and only Hou Ye is justified," paused, "Besides, there are some political affairs, and others are easy to be said to be ......" The dispute between the two factions.
Sounds reasonable.
Shi Mian is Prince Zhuang's faction, and it is difficult for the imperial concubine to interfere, otherwise it will inevitably be confusing in front of the emperor.
Xue Mingrui got this letter, but it was different, Xue Mingrui has not stood on any side over the years, this is a well-known thing.
I was a little tired from going out today.
