Jia Yin calmly replied to her father: "Even if you are true to each other, you are also a companion like a tiger, Amma, there is no inevitable relationship between the two, whether you are affectionate or ruthless, I have to be a good concubine of the emperor, isn't it?" ”

E Shuo was told by his daughter, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Amma, don't worry." Jia Yin said, "How I am in the Xiao family, how I am in the palace, there is not much difference, as long as I keep to myself, I will not cause trouble to you and Feiyangu, if it can help, then it will be great." ”

"Daughter, ......" E Shuo sighed, but there was nothing to say.

Sending her father away, Jia Yin ordered Tian Xiang to prepare for washing, she cleaned up the things on the table, and saw a copy of "Peony Pavilion" at the foot of the kang table.

After the death of her biological mother, she took poetry, books and Buddhism as her sustenance, and she had read a lot of books for so many years, and knew what a golden house was and what Yan Ruyu was.

She also imagined what kind of man she would meet in the future, and she even understood that the fate of the Eight Banners Show Girl could not escape the royal draft, and she also thought that her lover might be the emperor.

But in the blink of an eye, five years have passed, Yuan Xi has become a noble and dignified lady who can take charge of herself, even if she has experienced some ups and downs, she is no longer the ignorant and naïve girl.

She never knew the emperor's affection, and she was even grateful that the emperor didn't let her know and didn't mess with her past life.

As for the future, it would be better if she spoke plainly like today, but after all, she didn't know what it was like in the Forbidden City, and in just five years, she turned the innocent Yuan Xi sister into the current Tong Concubine Niangniang.

Jia Yin put "The Peony Pavilion" on the bookshelf, it is no longer the time when a girl is pregnant with spring, what awaits her will be a long time in the deep palace.

On the bookshelf, there are also ancient music scores, which were given to her by Yuan Xi, looking forward to her being able to guide the musicians after entering the palace and play the ancient chimes for the queen mother.

Jia Yin is willing to do these few things, and her interests are all in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

At this time, Tian Xiang brought hot water to the old mothers, and when they retreated one after another, Tian Xiang came to untie the young lady's wide clothes.

"Today's manager Wu is a slave and maid." Tian Xiang said, "Miss, that person is not a good thing at first glance, why does the emperor use him so much?" I heard from my wife that this Chief Manager Wu is the number one leader in the affairs of the inner court, and even the ministers are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the inner court yamen. ”

"E-Niang taught you, you have to remember carefully, E-Niang is a member of the royal family, the rules in the palace are very big, you have to be cautious in the future." Jia Yin said, "To be honest, I don't want to take you into the palace, life in the palace is not as comfortable as outside, follow me, I'm afraid you will suffer." ”

Tian Xiang smiled: "But if the slave doesn't follow you, where will you go in this life?" ”

Jia Yin sighed: "Find a good family." ”

Tian Xiang shook her head and asked Miss: "What is a good person?" Rich, or powerful? Slaves and maids follow you, and you can be down-to-earth for the rest of your life, but when you get married, who knows what kind of life you will live in a few decades. ”

"You kid, why do you think so much, you refuse to study, but your mind is very enlightened." Jia Yin smiled, "It's also rare that in your status, you can make a decision for your future." However, you can't think like that, everything has a fate, and you can't ask for it in a hurry, and you can't avoid it. ”

Tian Xiang picked up the green silk for the young lady, so that she could wash her face, and asked with a smile: "The relationship between the young lady and the emperor is also destined in the previous life?" ”

In the deep palace, Yuan Xi washed up, was smearing balm on her face, wearing only a bed coat, sitting cross-legged on the couch, there were two quilts in the bed, naturally she and the emperor's, the quilt was stacked high, and she leaned on it as a pillow.

The satin face was soft and cold, and the body that had just been hot after taking a bath soon became cold, and the pomegranate came to blow out the candles, urging her to quickly burrow into the quilt, saying that it was still very cold at night.

"When we were in Shengjing, it sometimes snowed, right?" Yuan Xi said.

"I can't remember what Sheng Jing is like." Pomegranate said, "Miss, we have been in Beijing for longer than Shengjing." ”

Yuan Xi was stunned: "Yes, it's longer than Shengjing's years." ”

Pomegranate said: "In the autumn, we will enter the palace for five years, and the day before yesterday and Xiaoquanzi counted, the slave and maid were shocked." ”

Yuan Xi raised her hands and sniffed the scent of the balm, her initial impression of the Forbidden City was the balm that Aunt Su Mala gave her, fortunately, after so many years, this fragrance is still there.

Pomegranate tilted her head and sighed: "Time is really fast, the slave maid heard Aunt Su Mala say that our third elder brother will be three years old next year, and he will start learning to write, and he is only three years old." ”

"The second elder brother can already write his own name." Yuan Xi said, "Being the emperor's elder brother is not a matter of just eating, drinking and having fun. ”

As he spoke, there was movement outside the door, and Pomegranate thought that the emperor suddenly came in the middle of the night as before, but the emperor did not come, but fortunately, he was still thinking about his master and sent supper.

"Who eats at this hour?" Yuan Xi said angrily, "You guys are divided." ”

"The emperor is still very worried about you." Pomegranate held the food box and said, "I just don't know, that one ...... after entering the palace."

"Pomegranate." Yuan Xi booed her, shook her head slightly, and signaled that Pomegranate should never be mentioned casually in the future, she didn't want to discuss other women in her Jingren Palace.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the emperor's nightmare because of Bogol's dying words disappeared, and was replaced by the aftertaste of the long conversation in the Yong'an Temple, and the expectation for the future.

No matter what, after more than ten years as an emperor, he finally has something satisfactory.

But the love of children grows up in front of the family and the country, after all, it is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, and Fulin's careful thinking was soon overwhelmed by piles of government affairs, and the endless calls in the south are still a big trouble for the court.

In early summer, Ao Bai entered the palace to meet the queen mother, he had just returned from southern Fujian, and worriedly told Yu'er that there was unable to pay taxes due to the continuous war, and the emperor was merciful and wanted to exempt taxes from Chaozhou and other places.

Ao Bai believes that in the long run, not only other provinces and counties in the south, but also all parts of the country will be in turmoil, taxes are the foundation of the imperial court, and the emperor's benevolence is too hasty.

Yu'er said: "I heard you mention this matter last autumn, the emperor always exempted from taxes when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and it is undeniable that his benevolent government has indeed brought excellent stability, but as you said, it is not a long-term solution." So did you tell the emperor about Chaozhou this time? ”

Ao Bai said: "The minister's fold, I'm afraid it's pressed in the Jingyunmen duty room." ”

Yu'er shook her head: "Wu Liangfu, ......"

"Queen Mother, the rules of handing over excerpts in the Jingyunmen room are really time to be changed." Ao worships the physique like a mountain, the sound is like a bell, and if it is a little louder, it will frighten the palace maid who comes to serve tea to tremble.

Yuan Xi happened to pass by the door, took the tea from the palace maid, and said with a smile when he entered the door: "I guessed under the corridor that it was Lord Ao who arrived." ”

Ao Bai saluted Concubine Tong and took the tea respectfully, and Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Why didn't the Queen Mother give Lord Ao a seat, aren't you tired with your neck up?" ”

Yu'er said angrily: "I love to see Ao Bai standing in front of him like this, and when I see him, I feel that Daqing has something to rely on, and my heart is steady." ”

Ao Bai hurriedly bowed down and said: "The queen mother raised her love, and the ministers were terrified. ”

Yu'er said: "The affairs of the imperial court still have to be done according to the rules, and the rules of Jingyunmen are lacking, but the folds handed over from all over the country and the six yamen every day are piled up, and the emperor also has the emperor's difficulties." You wait, let's see what the emperor means, and then discuss. ”

Ao visited the Queen Mother's attitude, knew that he should no longer forcibly ask for results, thanked the Queen Mother, thanked Concubine Tong for the tea, and knelt down to say goodbye.

Yuan Xi sent him to the door of the main hall, and repeatedly asked the mother to stay, and when she turned back, she saw the queen mother reproaching her: "The foreign minister is here, why did you break in?" There are no rules, let people spread it, just when you want to interfere in the government, you can't say it clearly. ”

Yuan Xi disagreed, stepped forward to support his mother-in-law and said: "His voice is like a drum, the palace maid outside the door is scared to pee his pants, the concubine is afraid that he will be disrespectful to you, even if my thighs are not as thick as his arms, I will desperately protect you." ”

"Your mouth is getting sharper and sharper, and you're annoying." Yu'er seems to be angry, and Yuan Xi is also thick-skinned.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the study, and Yu'er said: "Fortunately, you came, so that the atmosphere changed slightly, and I had to open my mouth to refuse." This Ao Bai is a person who is loyal to the court, that is, there are few big concept books, and he is not tactful in doing things for people, and he is a little more greedy. Such a person can use and use, and if he becomes a scourge in the future, he will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
