Li Yu said respectfully: "That's because Concubine Jia is not as good as the queen's mother, and she can see the emperor at any time." Different identities naturally act differently. ”

Ruyi smiled and raised her eyes to see Yuyan's face, although she was over forty years old, she didn't see the twilight of the beauty at all. Even if she didn't like Yuyan, she had to sigh that this woman's face was impeccable, as if she was still the first to enter the diving mansion, and her elegance was like a blooming flower on the branch, bright and beautiful. It seems that even the years have treated her very well, and have never let her lose her best complexion.

Ruyi unconsciously sighed: "No wonder the emperor has doted on her all these years, it's not unreasonable." ”

Rong Pei chuckled and said: "Concubine Jia is the best at beauty, I heard that she usually uses red ginseng to cook soup and soak in bath, and then wash her face and hands with this object, so that her skin will be white and snowy, and her face will stay for a long time." Zuo, but her maiden family, Li Chao, is the most abundant in this, is it possible that Niangniang still thinks that she likes to eat hometown kimchi the most, so it will be so graceful? ”

Ruyi smiled: "If it really has this miraculous effect, she is also patient." ”

Ruyi took Rong Pei's hand and slowly walked up the steps. In front of the palace are all gold bricks, black and heavy like the best ink jade, by the sun, a white dazzling, more and more annoying heat.

Yuyan saw that it was Ruyi, so she took Yonghui's hand and saluted each other. Ruyi was also polite: "The weather is so hot, Yonghui also came to the emperor to accompany him, which shows the emperor's importance to Yonghui." ”

Yuyan is wearing a brocade and red red shirt, and the skirt is full of gold branch patterns, and her head is also a golden treasure red emerald, swaying and shining. Under the bright sun, it is particularly dazzling, and it is even more flowery, a group of luxury and joy. When Yuyan saw her son's face, she didn't feel a little proud, and said, "The queen mother is right." The emperor said that Yonghui has grown up, the eldest brother and the second elder brother are gone, and the third elder brother is mediocre, and he is only willing to discuss many things with Yonghui. As long as you can share the emperor's worries, even if this weather is going to sunburn our mother and son, it will come. ”

Ruyi couldn't hear these words, and she didn't care about them at the moment, there were many people on the left and right, so naturally someone would pass on such words to Yongzhang's biological mother, Chun Guifei Luyun. She just saw that Yonghui had grown into a heroic young man, but between her eyebrows and eyes she was as proud as his mother, so she smiled and said: "Yonghui, Huang Ama values you so much, you have to be extra careful, if there is anything you don't understand, ask the master more, and you can also point you out." ”

Yonghui's young man's temperament was not disguised, so he said: "If you go back to the emperor's mother, the emperor Ama asked his son, and the master in the study couldn't give him advice." ”

Ruyiqi said: "Oh? The palace also heard that the emperor is busy with political affairs these days, and he is discussing with the ministers, so he also told you. Sure enough, we, the women of the Taoist family, are all deaf and blind, and we don't know anything. ”

The young man's eyes shone with bright joy: "Yes." Huang Ama has been worrying about the Nanhe encroachment case these days. ”

Ruyi heard a little, so she said: "It is very hot in Beijing, but it is raining in the south. I heard that the water level of Hongze Lake rose sharply, overflowing the dam mouth, and the second lock of the Shaobo Canal burst through, flooding Gaoyou and Baoying counties. ”

Yonghui came one by one: "Huang Ama has now ordered Liu Tongxun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Shu Hede, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Celeng, the minister of the Department, to rush to the flood work to supervise the disaster relief and investigate the matter. He also allocated 100,000 stone of rice grain from Jiangxi and Hubei to help the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and as for the allocation of rice and grain, it has been handed over to his sons to follow and investigate, and he also let the fifth brother learn with his son. ”

At the end of his sentence, his lips were already quite arrogant, as if Yongqi was just his little retinue. Yuyan looked at her son, her face couldn't help but be happy, she took a silk to wipe his sweat for him, her mouth seemed to be disgusted, but her lips smiled deeply: "Okay." Your emperor Ama told you to do it, you just do it well, and don't forget to carry your fifth brother. I heard that the matter on the river was taken care of by Gao Bin, and he was still the concubine of Emperor Huixian, who was supposed to do things and become old, but it was so useless! ”

Ruyi's smile faded, and she stared at Yonghui and said, "They are all their own brothers, if there is anything to support or not." Brothers, friends and brothers, the emperor will naturally like it. ”

Yonghui was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, so she had to bow her head and answer "yes".

Yuyan was on the rise, where could she hear such words, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so she stroked Yonghui's shoulder and said: "Yonghui, there are three things that Eniang is most proud of in her life. One is to marry the kingdom as the daughter of the Li Dynasty clan; the second is to be fortunate to marry your emperor Ama and love him for many years; The third is to give birth to several of your brothers, all of whom are sons. Her charming eyes were shining, and she glanced at Ruyi with a smile, only looking at Yonghui and said, "Sometimes, E-niang also wants to give birth to a daughter, but think about it, what's the use of a daughter, Wen can't build a foundation, martial arts can't go to the battlefield, one is not good, so she married like the eldest princess of Duanshu and couldn't go back to her side, and she had to mess with the barbarians, it's really ......" Her thin white and slippery fingers raised the red silk sprinkled with gold water in her hand, like a swaggering butterfly, and she bowed slightly and said: "Oops! The queen mother, the concubine lost her words, but it doesn't mean that the queen mother gave birth to a princess. Both children and daughters, and a pair of golden boys and girls at this age, is really a rare blessing. ”

Rong Pei heard her unbearable, frowned and was about to speak, Ruyi secretly pressed her hand, and said with a faint smile: "The years are not forgiving, if you want to come to Concubine Jia's palace, how old must be more touching." She turned to smile calmly, "Born in the Li Dynasty is so good, I heard that the Li Dynasty is rich in red ginseng, and it is given to Jia Guifei a lot every year, and I heard that Jia Guifei often uses red ginseng water to bathe and wash, so she has such a smooth face, which shows that there are really a lot of wonderful people and wonderful things in the Li Dynasty." ”

Yuyan became more and more proud, and said with a smile: "Actually, what are these good, as long as the concubine's elder brothers are angry, what good will not be in the future." ”

Ruyi smiled secretly, but her face did not show anything: "Isn't it?" It's just that Concubine Jia and Li Chao's maiden family are also a little stingy, such a good red ginseng is hidden and tucked away from the sisters in the palace, why don't you even give it to the queen mother? For the way of being a daughter-in-law and a concubine, didn't the Li Dynasty teach Concubine Jia? ”

Yuyan frowned at the delicate willow eyebrows, and said a little unconvinced: "Not only the concubines, but also the red ginseng that the Li Dynasty enters the Queen Mother every year." ”

Rong Pei said softly, and said respectfully: "The little lord of Concubine Jia is filial to the Queen Mother, and Li Chao is also respectful. It's just that this filial piety is against the Queen Mother, or the selfishness of the little master Jia Guifei is a little heavier, otherwise how can the red ginseng given to the Queen Mother not be enough for the Queen Mother to bathe and maintain. Gee...... What a ......."

Yuyan's face was red and white, and she was about to argue, Ruyi smiled gently, and said in an undoubted tone: "Rong Pei, of course it's not that Concubine Jia and Li Chao are stingy, it's that the Queen Mother is frugal and doesn't like extravagance." Buddhists say that life in the world is just a skin, love, hatred, anger, sorrow and happiness must be controlled, let alone greed, hatred, joy and anger are fascinated and fall into it. She lowered her eyes and looked at Yonghui: "Yonghui, your emperor Ama likes you and values you, and regards you as an example for all princes, you should not speak lightly and show a frivolous look, and make the minions laugh." ”

Yonghui listened to Ruyi's solemn teachings, and immediately accepted the smug look and bowed his head in agreement.

Rong Pei smiled and said: "What does the fourth elder brother not know, although I ask the queen mother, the mother is your mother-in-law, and she is in the same heart as the emperor, and she is not as good as those who are inferior to the ninth rank and cannot be on the stage, and they will teach you badly and make you lose the emperor's favor." ”

Yuyan's face was pale, as if she had been frosted, but she really couldn't find anything, so she had to pull Yonghui's hand and retreat.

Ruyi looked at Yuyan's expression, and laughed in a low voice: "Rong Pei, your mouth is too bad." ”

Rong Pei was a little sneering, but she also said bluntly: "The slave and maid are bad at the mouth of the person with a bad heart." Did Niangniang ever see the slave maid say this to the little master of Concubine Yu and the little master of Concubine Shu? ”

Ruyi smiled and poked her cheek, and then entered the temple.

It was very quiet in the study room. For the emperor to be busy and quiet these days, even the various bird cages hanging under the corridor have been taken away, just afraid that a ticking warbler will quarrel with the emperor and cause a catastrophe. Although there are wind wheels in the hall, there are still two pairs of small palace maids standing behind the emperor holding banana and cuiming fans to blow the wind together, but they dare not breathe a little heavily, for fear of noisy the emperor.

Ruyi saw that the emperor was just writing at the desk, so he motioned to Lingzhi, who followed, to put down the food box in his hand and retreat with Rong Pei. Ruyi was courteous, and the emperor helped her and said, "The weather is hot, the queen has just come out of confinement, and she came all the way and suffered from heat stroke carefully." ”

Ruyi listened to his muffled voice, thinking that he was worried about state affairs, and he didn't dare to say much, so he quietly stayed aside and studied ink for the emperor. The emperor quickly wrote a few strokes on the fold, rubbed the corners of his forehead, turned his head and saw the little eunuch waiting on his side, so he raised his face and motioned for them to go down, and said, "You came just in time, I have been busy all day, and I want to talk to you." ”

Ruyi said with a smile: "The concubine is still afraid of arguing with the emperor and annoying the emperor." ”

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "How come?" As long as I think of our treasures and rejoice in my heart, how can I be troubled? ”

Ruyi stopped the ink in her hand, poured tea for the emperor, and said, "The emperor should drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat." ”

The emperor took a sip of tea, as usual: "I occasionally heard a few gossips in the harem, saying that Concubine Shu arbitrarily set fire to the palace because she was close to the queen and had always been connived at by the queen?" ”

Ruyi saw that the emperor seemed to be making a casual joke, and he didn't have much seriousness, but his back couldn't help but feel cold, as if the wind wheel was blowing the chill of the ice sculpture through the surging clothes, falling straight into the limbs. The emperor has not summoned concubines recently, not only because Yihuan self-immolation is inevitably depressed, but also busy with political affairs, if he hears the gossip of the harem, it is nothing more than seeing Jin Yuyan. Ruyi secretly hated in her heart, and unconsciously clenched her teeth, and didn't dare to listen to the emperor's words as a joke, so she immediately bent down and knelt down and said: "The emperor's words are a joke, but the concubines really don't dare to listen to them." I don't know if there is anyone in the harem who doesn't put the emperor's prestige in his eyes like this, and dares to talk nonsense like this, it is really a fault that the concubines are not strict in disciplining the harem. ”
