Xuan Ye smiled: "You still think a lot, a few words of effort, this is all taken into account?" ”

Lan Qi suddenly woke up to such a suspicion of interfering in the government, and immediately waved his hand and said, "The emperor should send the concubine back, the concubine should not ask about this matter." ”

Xuan Ye took the silver hairpin on the table and put it on her hairpin, and said nonchalantly: "Since it is a private visit to Weifu, there is no heavenly harem, you are my wife, I am your father-in-law, that's all." ”

A sentence of a husband and a lady, Lan Qi blushed, and Xuan Ye laughed at her: "After so many years, will you still blush?" A few days ago, I still remember which one said that my father-in-law is not ashamed. ”

Lan Qi ignored him, turned around and packed her things to prepare for departure, her blushing was not the four words "Xianggong Lady", but the blurred difference between wives and concubines, this is a thought she will not say to anyone, just hide it in her heart for the rest of her life.

Before leaving, Lan Qi remembered something and asked Xuan Ye, "Has the emperor seen Lord Yu?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "He is the prefect of Jiangning, we have been here for a few days, how can we not see each other." ”

"What kind of private visit is the emperor like this?" Lan Qi sighed, "The emperor might as well listen to the concubines, and kill them back in a few days." ”

"But he hasn't seen you." Xuan Ye smiled and was full of pride, and leaned in front of Lan Qi and said, "I am waiting for you at the restaurant across the street from the Yamen, you go and see how the case is decided over there, and come back to 1510 and tell me, what you say, I will see Yu Jackie Chan, and the future of others is in your hands." ”

Lan Qi's eyes widened, and she regretted it in her heart, no wonder people were so kind to take her out to play, and she was still staying outside the night market, she wanted to do something good to make Xuan Ye so happy to reward herself, it turned out that she was all waiting here.

"If the concubine doesn't go, it's good to be crowded in the crowd of ordinary people alone, and being abducted." Lan Qi turned around and sat down and didn't leave, Xuan Ye didn't expect that the emperor's grandmother actually told Lan Qi before going out, saying that the emperor must go everywhere to pay a private visit, and told her not to follow blindly and energetically, if a woman's family encounters a bad person, she will suffer the most, and she will not be able to say it in the future.

Xuan Ye asked curiously, "Grandmother Huang even told you this?" ”

Lan Qi nodded, Xuan Ye didn't believe it, and scolded her: "You dare to deceive people even to scare Suzhou Weaving's Yi Zhi, how can I believe you?" ”

"The emperor believes it or not, the concubines don't go, and the guards who pick a face next to you don't go, and they come back and say that it may be better than the concubines." Lan Qi relied on the Empress Dowager to tell her, but she refused to let go, anyway, the emperor would not kill her, at most she would ignore it for a few days, she was really not afraid.

But she could feel Xuan Ye's temper clearly, and the emperor could see through her mind even more, eating soft and not hard things, Xuan Ye pinched it with a few fingers, and then sat down beside him and hugged him and said in a good voice: "How easy is it to pick a few guards, if it is successful, I still worry about working you?" Don't you just think it's unreliable, so I use you? Above the court, the most is the protection of officials and officials, how do I know who is behind the selected guards, or whether these people behind them have colluded with Yu Chengchan? Only you, I am the most assured, you have someone to protect you within three steps, who dares to hurt you, I chop off his head. ”

People said that they didn't stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling face, the emperor told her like this, Lan Qi really didn't know how to refute it, Xuan Ye promised her to come back and reward her with a few hundred taels of silver, so that she could buy things and go back to Beijing to bring gifts to the palaces and the royal family of the clan.

When she woke up, everyone was taken out, and the carriage went all the way to the yamen of the Jiangning prefect's mansion, Xuan Ye told her in the car: "You just mix in the crowd and take a look, today's case was pushed up by the county government, and I have already sent someone to find out what is going on." Don't tell you for fear of disturbing your judgment, and you don't have to decide whether the case is true or false, just tell me that you don't have to worry about Yu Jackie Chan's errand. ”

Originally, the emperor didn't say it, Lan Qi's brain was quite clear, the emperor chattered like this, she was a little confused, you must know that Kangxi entered the palace in the twelfth year and became a palace maid until now, she has long lost the ability to survive in the world outside the Forbidden City, where do you know what to promote to the court and decide the case, and I thought in my heart that the emperor could not really put the future of a minister into her hands, no matter what the result is, just go hard.

Over there, the emperor took Concubine De Weifu for a private visit, and several adults who were kept in the dark in the pearl of the weaving mansion had something to see the emperor, and when they came, they were blocked by Nalan Rongruo, who was guarding outside, saying that the emperor was recuperating in order to return to Beijing, and no one was seen. Several other ministers saw that it was the son of the Mingzhu family, and asked him to be accommodating and go in and say a few words to the emperor, but Rong Ruo refused with a cold face.

As a result, Mingzhu couldn't hold it on his face, and after the other colleagues walked away, he angrily scolded his son: "What are you that make me lose face like this?" ”

Nalan Rongruo said solemnly: "My son is on an errand for the emperor, and I also ask Amashu that his son can't be loyal and filial." ”

"!" Mingzhu scolded, looked inside again, and sneered, "Long live Lord is out again, right?" ”

Rong Ruo didn't speak, Mingzhu said: "Do you think I'm still waiting for you to tell?" Self-righteous things, you should do a good job in front of the emperor, if there is a mistake, I will inevitably end up as a rebel of you. ”

Rong Ruo didn't care, anyway, their father and son met Zuo but these few words, he had been numb to listening to it for so many years, and after his father left, he even drank the order: "No matter who it is, no one is allowed to be accommodating, and no one is allowed to disturb the emperor in retreat." ”

After Mingzhu left, he walked not far and met a few people who accompanied him, and greeted each other politely, talking about the emperor's recuperation, everyone tacitly agreed, only one person heard the news from somewhere, saying that Concubine De seemed to be also recuperating, everyone looked at each other, some words were clear in their hearts, and when they parted, they heard Alinga say: "Yesterday, the emperor took his bow and personally gave it to the fourth elder brother, and taught him hand in hand, it is really a father's kindness and filial piety, and the same is true for the prince." ”

In a word, everyone seemed to have heard it, and they all understood in their hearts that the weight of the two sons born to Concubine De in the emperor's heart was very different from that of other elder brothers, and the fourth elder brother was raised under the knees of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine was only one step away from the rear position, and the future of the fourth elder brother was unlimited.

However, it is still too early to say the future of the fourth elder brother, and the future of Lord Yu Jackie Chan is in jeopardy. At this time, Zi Xuanye was sitting in the restaurant across the street from the prefect's yamen, listening to the little girl downstairs singing music, thinking that if Lan Qi was by his side, if he looked at the little girl of the other family more, the vinegar jar would be turned upside down, and he was secretly thinking funny, but he saw the guard who followed Lan Qi running back in a hurry, and said in a hurry: "Long live the lord, Niangniang was arrested by Lord Yu." ”

"Arrested?" Xuan Ye was stunned, and when he came all the way to the prefect's yamen, he knew what was going on.

Today's case is a bit special, I am used to seeing the local tyrants and gentry bullying the poor tenants, this time it is reversed, there are bad and tricky people who rely on their parents and officials to avenge the people's grievances, and bite the landlord, Xuan Ye has sent someone to find out in advance, just want to see if this Yu Jackie Chan will really reverse black and white for the so-called honesty and dedication, he wants Lan Qi to open her eyes and find a reliable person to see and judge the case, how did he think that she would be so impulsive.

It's just because there is a woman in the tenant who is pregnant in October, and she is shocked and weak in the hall, it is said that Yu Chengchan is interrogated according to the rules of the court, and I don't know where Concubine De can't stand it, so she even came out to accuse the hall official of Cao Kan's life, and she didn't tolerate it when she saw that the pregnant woman was about to give birth, Xuan Ye was angry and funny when she heard it, and she only blamed herself for having nothing to do, why did she bring Lan Qi to join in the fun.

When Lord Yu took over the car and listened to the emperor in civilian clothes say that he wanted a person, the smart man suddenly remembered that the little woman was naturally noble, and he panicked in his heart, and asked the emperor which one in the palace he was, and the emperor smiled politely: "I and Concubine De came out for a walk, and they happened to pass by you and disturbed you in handling the case." ”

Yu Chenglong was so frightened that he was sweating, and hurriedly asked people to release him, but he was afraid that the officials below would be stupid, so he didn't care about leaving the emperor here, so he personally went to welcome Concubine De Niangniang out, Lan Qi was already scared like a vegetable, and came over with a tense face all the way, and when he saw Xuan Ye sitting in the hall, he immediately ran towards him with red eyebrows.

Xuan Ye made a look and asked her to calm down, Lan Qi quickly restrained her emotions, quietly followed the emperor, and hid behind the hall to watch Yu Jackie Chan try the case. The hall was shocked by the case, so frightened that Lan Qi couldn't help but tremble, Xuan Ye whispered to her what the case was about, and said seriously: "The weak may not all be on the side of justice, and justice must not be seen by eyes alone, the law is the law, and the favor is the favor, this woman is really going to give birth, and the yamen will not ignore people's lives." Of course, what I said is only for now, and the government and yamen all over the country, or those who ignore the law, I can't control it. ”

After retiring, the emperor and Lord Yu talked, and the female dependents came to serve her to rest elsewhere, Lan Qi has been silent, and others did not dare to quarrel with Niangniang, only waiting for the emperor to disperse and go back, and then waiting for Niangniang to come forward.

After getting into the carriage, the curtain was lowered, Xuan Ye held the frightened stiff man in his arms, he had a very happy conversation with Yu Chengchan today, and he was in a very good mood, so he was even more distressed and tormented Lan Qi was frightened by such a time, and the talent in her arms relaxed for a long time, and asked her if she was scared, but Lan Qi said: "You must feel that the concubine is stupid and stupid, and the concubine is not unconvinced, this is the case." It's a shame to think about it, and I've been there for a few hours, and the concubine really can't wait to get into the cracks in the ground. ”

"Today, I wanted you to go back directly after you came back, and I didn't plan to see Jackie Chan, everything is different from my plan now, and other ministers will more or less know about it, which is shameful." Having said that, Xuan Ye's face was full of smiles, and he gently rubbed Lan Qi's stiff cheeks and said, "Yu Chenglong is a fourth-grade official, how many first-rank officials have gone south this time, standing among them, he has no chance to talk to me more, and he can't say everything from his heart." Today, I listened to him talk about Jiangning's customs, culture and economy, but I have received more than what I have seen and heard in person in the past few days. ”

Lan Qi was not very happy after all, and muttered: "People don't want such credit, but now that I think about it, I am ashamed." He begged Xuan Ye not to go back and tell the Queen Mother, of course Xuan Ye didn't agree, and then said that although he was shocked, he couldn't be at ease for a while, and after going back, Huanchun and a few people saw that her face was not good, and asked what was going on, Lan Qi only told Huanchun in private, but Huanchun also laughed heartily and made her half angry.

On the same day, the emperor issued an edict, saying that he had heard that the prefect of Jiangning was honest in Jackie Chan in Beijing, and that this visit was no different from what he had heard, so that the scholar Mingzhu passed on to Jackie Chan and gave him a scroll of the imperial book to show his praise, and asked him to start and finish well, and not change his ethics.

After that, the holy driver was going to leave for Beijing, and the emperor was also patrolling the flooded river along the way. As for the jokes made by Concubine De in the yamen of the Jiangning Prefect's Mansion, although there were rumors among the courtiers, because of the concubine's innocent reputation, they did not dare to talk nonsense, and Lan Qi herself did not mention it to her sisters, and all the way back to Beijing, the matter faded away.

The holy car planned to arrive in Beijing at the end of the month, and a few days later, the news came from the front, Wen Guifei, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi talked to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager about taking over the car in Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager told them: "The emperor is tired from the journey, and when he comes back, he should have a good rest, and he doesn't have to be too extravagant and grand, so that the emperor can go home with peace of mind." ”

Everyone didn't dare to disobey, and after agreeing on everything, they saluted and said goodbye, and dispersed in front of Cining Palace, and saw Concubine Wen walking away, Concubine Hui said softly: "I thought I was going to mention next year's draft, but it's November and there is still no movement, won't you be selected next year?" ”

Concubine Yi said: "Sister has seen Concubine Wen, I haven't seen the brilliance for a few days, I followed Concubine Zhao in my early years, the two sisters, in terms of appearance, Wen Guifei is better, no wonder my sister even gave birth to a son." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Hui again, and saw that she looked tired and had a green daisy under her eyes, so she cared: "Sister should also take care of it, why is it getting more and more haggard these days?" ”

Concubine Hui didn't say anything perfunctorily, and only waited for Mrs. Mingzhu to enter the palace two days later before she told her about the incident from Jiang Ning, and said with her heart at the door: "Fortunately, the third elder brother is fine, otherwise the relationship between me and Concubine Rong for so many years will be over." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu said: "This is one of them, and then there is news from the lord that the emperor has taken care of Concubine De and the fourth and sixth elder brothers on this trip. ”

"The emperor has always liked her." Concubine Hui said coldly, "The people who follow the imperial concubine don't care, I bother to think about something, and it's annoying." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu said: "Niangniang is not thinking about whether this is partial, it is the future of our eldest brother." ”
