Chapter Forty-Seven: The Summer Palace
Hearing this, Yunshuang sighed slightly, and her expression slowly became sad. This person is sometimes so fragile that it makes people feel distressed, but partiality is eternal and ineffable. "How can it be, my master is not sick or sick, he will definitely live a long life, how can there be such a problem." The face has not changed, but the heart is complicated.
"Perhaps." Murong Zhi didn't answer, just said lightly. She knew better than anyone else what was going on, but the more she did, the less she could tell. She is the moral discipline of the entire Liulizhuang, and she is the hope and expectation of the entire Liulizhuang. Being loved and respected by many people, whether it is a good or a bad thing, half and half, cannot be investigated.
Two days later, outside the Holy Gate.
The royal carriages and horses slowly drove out, golden and colorful, all of them were luxurious and extravagant. Qing Ruifan has always disliked sedan chairs, and always felt constrained, and this time it was the same, with Chang Dong and Chu Zhaonan in front of him, he walked forward step by step. After all, it can't be too fast in the downtown area, and the people are kneeling on the ground with their bodies bowed, looking at the tough horses' hooves and the golden auspicious cloud wheels, and their hearts are full of reverence.
They have not forgotten how Qing Ruifan managed the floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so that 300,000 people were not displaced although their homes were lost, nor did they forget that Qing Ruifan once promised the lantern goddess and the people of Lin'an City to make the country rich and strong, and they did not forget that Qing Ruifan was able to take care of the Han and Qin Dynasty in such a short period of time. If Qing Haoxuan is a representative of the soft faction, then Qing Ruifan must be a conspiracy faction, with iron and blood, but he does not make things difficult for the people. He is a good emperor.
Murong Zhi in the phoenix saw the crowd kneeling in the black outside, and then looked at the arrogant man in front of her, and rolled her eyes silently. This person does have skills, but his heart is too soft, and he has no plans and no way to manage the harem. In fact, these two are things that Murong Zhi, who is the empress, wants, but she is asking the emperor, who is already busy with affairs.
"Niangniang, when did you say that Concubine Chen and Concubine Wan will do it, if you wait like this, the concubines will become mushrooms." Xiang Guifei flattened her lips, took a bunch of grapes from the small table in front of her, peeled off the black and shiny skin with her fine white hand and put it in her mouth, gently wiped the juice overflowing from her lips, and her tone was full of helplessness and ridicule. Murong Zhi looked completely indifferent, but she felt bored. The days in the palace were not as stimulating as before, and I didn't know which tendon I had to enter the palace.
"What's the hurry. They don't move, and so do we. "It's true to be strategic, but timing is also important. The palace is not as good as the palace, and the first few days of going to the palace are all in chaos, and what things can become after that depends on how she plans. Murong Zhi didn't believe it, he would be easily defeated after wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years.
Jiang Quanyue nodded, supported his forehead with one hand, and knocked on his knee with the other, his expression was calm, and he stopped speaking after answering the yes. The road was not very far, but the road conditions were not good, and the carriage stumbled and bumped people to the north, south, south, north, west, south, west, east After arriving, Qing Ruifan ordered the door to be opened, except for Murong Zhi, Jiang Quanyue, Concubine Zhao and the Queen Mother, everyone else was confused and their steps were weak. Qing Ruifan looked at their pale faces, just shook his head, and called in a deep voice to go in and rest.
The largest palace in the palace belonged to Qing Ruifan and Murong Zhi, and then the position of the queen mother and the prime minister, and after everyone's arrangement was made, it was Liu Guiren, who had never spoken much, who objected. Murong Zhi was also tired, and when she entered the hall, she reclined on the chair with a tired face and watched the people below busy, Yunshuang and Lixia would do everything well, she just watched.
"Niangniang, the concubine has something to report." The people outside arrived first without a sound, and Murong Zhi raised her eyelids lazily, not even wanting to speak. The weather is already scorching, and the recent idleness has made her lazy. Liu Guiren rushed in, his face was angry. Murong Zhi slowly adjusted her posture and sat down, looking at this person who had never done anything. Liu Guiren's net worth has been checked before, a very ordinary county order, it is said that it was originally an ordinary maid in the palace, because Qing Ruifan was enlightened by her when she was young and frustrated, and was promoted to a concubine without exception.
"Niangniang, why are the other sisters all bright and dignified residences, and I only have a dilapidated attic? Although the concubine is just a small nobleman, she doesn't bring such a bully, such a dilapidated attic, it is difficult to even pile things, how can she live in people! Liu Guiren knelt on the ground, although she said that she didn't pick a place, but she couldn't become like this. It's true that she is a nobleman, but she is also the emperor's person after all, how can she be bullied like this?!
Murong Zhi raised her eyebrows, her eyes converged with a sense of laziness, and she added a layer of sharpness lightly: "You get up first." This is a kind concubine, but I don't know why I am so angry. Raising his hand, he looked at Yunshuang who had just followed up, and his voice was leisurely: "Go and bring me the distribution list."
The distribution of the concubine's residence was actually not assigned by Murong Zhi, the queen mother was replaced by Concubine Chen and Concubine Wan because of Murong Zhi's injury, and she didn't understand the specific things very well. Regardless of whether Liu Guiren knows this or not, it is right to solve this matter as soon as possible, she doesn't like nonsense, and she doesn't want to explain too much.
"Look at Liu Guiren carefully, this palace sent Yunshuang to go over with you to take a look, if this is really the case, Yunshuang will naturally arrange a place for you to live, and the palace will handle the rest." It's just a simple matter of residence, if there is no big thing, then it would be like this, Liu Guiren's gaffe she can see that she is because of the irritability in her heart after a long journey, and she doesn't have such a small measure.
"Mother, this is not a question of residence at all." Liu Guiren seemed to be on this issue, her face was firm and serious, and she didn't want to let go when she caught it, which made Murong Zhi very suspicious of what Qing Ruifan told her, this person is very easy to get along with, gentle and quiet, whether it is true.
"The concubine knows that the concubine is from a humble background, but she is not a person who can be slaughtered. If the mother is really not used to the concubine, she can say it directly, this kind of selfish thing The mother will do it so generously, and the concubine is really looking at the wrong person. Liu Guiren's words were all thorns, and Murong Zhi stopped in his ears and didn't react at all. She never cared. It's true that although the selfishness is a bit heavy, it's really true, and the unknown ones behind the scenes are all some selfishness, and they die when they see the light.
"Presumptuous, how dare a noble person speak to the queen like this." It was Lixia who spoke. She had just come in with tea when she saw it. Murong Zhi doesn't take a shelf, but it doesn't mean that anyone can talk to her loudly, this is a huge palace, and the number of etiquette is still required.
"Lixia, pour tea." Murong Zhi glanced at Li Xia meaningfully, Li Xia understood, picked up the tea she had just brewed and poured it in front of Liu Guiren. Say she's selfish? This is the manifestation of her selfishness, like it or not, bright and frank.
The hot tea splashed on Liu Guiren's body, and his legs were also wet. The boiling water seemed to be poured on her, and she immediately knelt down after a moment, and her voice was weak, as if she had woken up after being possessed by a demon, "The concubine knows her mistake and asks the mother to forgive her sins." The concubine knows the mistake, the concubine knows the mistake ......" The voice was urgent and fast, panicked as if she had really committed a heinous crime.
"What's the matter? Liu Guiren, why are you kneeling. The crisp voice from outside came, and Murong Zhi's expression turned grim, and he glanced at Liu Guiren without a trace. Qing Ruifan originally wanted to settle down just now to see if Murong Zhi needed any help, but when he came over, he saw Liu Guiren kowtowing desperately, and Murong Zhi sat lazily on the recliner with a look of inaction.
Liu Guiren has the grace of enlightenment to Qing Ruifan, but she is indifferent, for the needs of the harem battle, he did not give her too many high positions, but secretly ordered people to take care of one or two. It was rare for her to be so impulsive, so he was curious. But where he didn't know, something was happening so obviously.
"Emperor, Emperor...... The emperor wants to call the shots for his concubines. Liu Guiren looked at Qing Ruifan coming over, slowly turned around and knelt in front of him, raised his head, his expression was sad, and tears crossed his face that was no longer young, although it was slightly yellow, but he could still see the afterglow of the year. It should have been a beauty back then.
"Yunshuang, you say." Qing Ruifan lifted his robe and sat on the top seat, looked at Murong Zhi who was paralyzed on the side, and then called Liu Guiren to get up. Yunshuang, who was named, told the truth one by one. In fact, when it was called Yunshuang, the result was already doomed. Yun Shuang has always been partial to Murong Zhi, everyone knows that if he doesn't say anything else, Yun Shuang's exaggeration can doom Liu Guiren to return in vain today, and he will be eroded by a handful of rice.
"Well, I got it. Blue Yi went over and took a look. Qing Ruifan didn't think so, it was obviously a trivial matter, where did it make such a big fuss? When did Liu Guiren make such unreasonable trouble, he felt very strange. It shouldn't be.
He never doubted Murong Zhi, he never doubted Murong Zhi, she was his lover, he was her backer.
Chu Sleeve Hall.
"Mother, my lord has sent a letter." The palace maid brought an envelope over, and Yang Li'er gently took it, and her fingers painted with red kodan were bewitching and gorgeous. After opening it and looking at it, she laughed slowly, and Concubine Chen next to her looked at her expression and smiled. It's almost done.
After Liu Guiren was sent away, he was finally placed in Fengyuxuan, which was clean and quiet. But when Lan Yi came back, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Qing Ruifan saluting, and his voice was calm. "Your Majesty, Liu Guiren's father is in danger." At that time, Liu Guiren's pear blossom with rain looked strange in blue clothes, and after placing her, she asked a few words, and the ins and outs of the matter were roughly clear.
"There are officials in Lin'an City who suppressed Liu Guiren's father, threatened to cut his official position, and nullified his life." The blue-clothed intuition is the person of the harem. After all, Liu Guiren is just an ordinary county magistrate, and it is impossible to provoke any big financiers. Only if someone in the harem is not used to seeing her, will they do this.
"Reason." Qing Ruifan stood in front of the bamboo window with his hands in his hands, and the bamboo leaves outside were blown by the wind, which was indeed a cool place.
"Bribe, squeeze." There are only a few bad things that the county order can do, and this person is accounted for, but the more crimes are full, the more strange it is.
"Go look it up." Liu Guiren is a very honest and responsible person, and in the same way, the life experience of those who can enter the palace is not complicated. Either there is a problem with the county order itself, or it is forced by others, no matter what, it must be greasy to attract Liu Guiren to be so extreme. so
