Chapter 352: Don't act rashly
It was the first time Ruoping had seen Mo Li look like this, which reminded her of her master's cold face. Could it be that husband and wife have lived together for a long time, and they will really become more and more alike?
……
At the end of May, there was another happy event in the palace of Beining, and Murong Qi was transferred to the imperial history of the capital of the Imperial Palace. Qiu Yu listened to the letter and admired Murong Wan even more.
The day before, the emperor stayed in Qiwen Palace again, and Zhang Dehui would naturally wait outside the palace. Qiu Yu brought a bowl of white fungus soup to Zhang Dehui on a tray.
"Manager Zhang, I stewed a bowl of white fungus soup for you, you can drink it while it's hot."
After getting along for a period of time, Zhang Dehui likes this delicate little palace maid quite a lot. And Qiu Yu, under his instruction, no longer calls himself a "slave". When the emperor came to Qiwen Palace, the two would always chat a few words. Qiu Yu often made some soup for him.
Zhang Dehui picked up the delicate small soup bowl on the tray and pouted to the chair next to him: "Sit down." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Qiu Yu sat down with the tray in his arms, watching Zhang Dehui take a small sip and drink the white fungus soup gently.
"How does it taste? I've been up for more than an hour. ”
Zhang Dehui nodded: "Well, that's good." ”
After drinking the white fungus soup, Qiu Yu put the bowl and tray aside, poured tea and rinsed Zhang Dehui's mouth. Only then did he sit down and said, "I originally wanted to stew black chicken soup today, but because the princess of Bac Ninh came, Niangniang asked me to wait on the side, so I didn't spare time." Wait for a while, I'll stew again. ”
Zhang Dehui glanced at Qiu Yu: "After Niangniang entered the palace, it was the first time for Princess Beining to visit, right?" ”
"No, I heard that I handed over the fold, and the queen mother agreed to come." Qiu Yu said.
Zhang De couldn't help but wonder when he saw her sad look, and asked, "Princess Beining entered the palace to see Niangniang, why don't you seem to be very happy?" ”
Qiu Yu hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't hide it from Manager Zhang, when the princess came, she first asked for warmth, and then asked Niangniang to send the others out, leaving me alone." Only then did I know that she came to be the eldest prince of the Bac Ninh Palace, and she didn't really come to visit Niangniang at all. ”
"Murong Qi?" Zhang Dehui raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"The eldest prince is nothing, but the princess doesn't know where she heard that there is a vacancy in the Imperial Palace, and she wants to ask her mother to help." Qiu Yu sighed, "The old saying is really true, it's really a mountain across the belly of the layer." The princess only thinks about her son, but she doesn't want to think about where this kind of thing can be managed. ”
"That'...... What's wrong with your mother? Zhang Dehui asked seemingly nonchalantly.
Qiu Yu shook her head helplessly: "Niangniang said at the time that the harem can't participate in the affairs of the court, and she can't control it." Because of this, the princess was very unhappy, saying that the mother only cared about enjoying the glory and wealth for herself, and did not care about the family. Niangniang didn't talk back to her, she nagged for a long time, felt bored, and quit. ”
Zhang Dehui hooked the corners of his lips, although he hadn't seen this princess of Beining a few times, he had also heard of it. When the princess of Bac Ninh passed away, she was supported by the side concubine. But compared with the former princess of Bac Ninh, it is far from it.
I heard that when Murong Wan was in the Bac Ninh Palace, she did not grow up beside the Lu family, the head of the house, but always followed her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and was not close to the Lu family. Now that she was gaining power, she hurriedly handed over the fold to the palace, which turned out to be to find an official position for her son.
"It's right that your mother didn't promise her." Zhang Dehui said indifferently.
Qiu Yu sighed again: "Although the mother refused, she didn't feel very comfortable in her heart." ”
Zhang Dehui picked up the teacup, blew the floating tea on it, and took a sip before saying, "Why?" Could it be that the lady in the palace is still afraid of her, and she can't be a princess of Beining? ”
"Not really. It's just that when Niangniang was in the house, the eldest son and his wife took care of her. Especially the eldest lady, she treats her mother like her own sister. Qiu Yu said, "Niangniang is a loving person, and I feel ashamed of them." I persuaded Niangniang, the eldest son and his wife are both sensible, and it is impossible to have a grudge against Niangniang because of this matter. ”
Zhang Dehui smiled and said: "You little girl is a confidant, presumably your mother listened to your persuasion and put this matter down." ”
"Where can I persuade people, but just tell the truth." Qiu Yu pursed her lips and smiled.
According to Murong Wan's instructions before, she didn't continue to speak, but changed the topic and chatted with Zhang Dehui about some homely things.
With Zhang Dehui's cleverness, how could he not know the secret, and after a few days, he found an opportunity to report the matter to the emperor.
The emperor originally had a good impression of Murong Qi, and when he heard about this, he thought about it in his heart, and felt that with his ability, he could also be qualified for the position of the imperial history of the Imperial Palace. Since there is a vacancy now, he simply issued an edict to the ministry, and the text of the ministry was sent to Murong Qi in a few days. In this way, he jumped from the five-grade senator of the General Administration Department to the four-grade imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
When the news reached the Bac Ninh Palace, the Lu family was naturally the happiest one. She originally planned to send Murong Wan to the palace, so that she could become Murong Qi's help. Now it seems that this step was really the right step.
She was happy when her confidant Gong Mama came in from outside and whispered something in her ear.
Lu's face sank, and he said, "There has been no movement over there yet, what is she anxious about?" ”
"Princess, is it not going to happen?" Mama Gong asked.
"Can't you? Didn't Shao Niang say foolproof! Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that you want to transfer flowers and trees?" ”
Mama Gong frowned: "It's not that this possibility is impossible. Do you need the old slave to send someone to investigate? ”
Lu waved his hand: "Don't act rashly yet. ”
"Yes, Princess. So how do we reply to that person? Mama Gong asked.
"Give her a hundred taels of silver, and tell her not to come again for the time being."
"Princess, isn't a hundred taels too little? It's much worse than what I said before. Mama Gong frowned slightly.
"What I said was that it was done, but now it's done?" Lu snorted coldly, "It's really a shameless thing to ask for money." Give her a hundred taels first, and talk about the rest later. ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? What if her dog jumps off the wall and bites back? Mama Gong said worriedly.
"She dares!" Lu's eyes widened, and he said, "If the matter is really stabbed out, how many lives does she have to pay?" Besides, who can believe her if she has no evidence? ”
Mama Gong's lips moved a few times, but she didn't continue to persuade her, she said "obey", and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Lu again.
"Princess, what else do you command?"
"You go to Shao Niang and listen to what she has to say."
"Yes, Princess." Mama Gong got the order, didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly left the palace of Bac Ninh.
