Chapter 17 For the Emperor and the Queen

"Master." Liu Yu looked at the dense crowd of people in front of him, deftly bypassed, and returned to the three-story small pavilion located in front of the east market, with gold characters on a green background and three words painted with iron hooks and silver: Muyun Pavilion.

Muyun Pavilion is not the largest jewelry shop in Lin'an City, or even the most famous, but everyone who has been there knows that there are things you can expect in Muyun Pavilion, and there are more things you can't think of. There are so many merchants in the imperial city, even if they specialize in dealing with Nanban, they can't get any good brocade in a year, but Muyun Pavilion can supply all the requirements of the palace for brocade without even leaving the city. There is no shortage of customers for the wide variety of jewellery and styles for all ages, and the entire store is understated and luxurious, with pineapple wood, screens, and stands.

The person who was called the master sat behind the screen on the right hand side of the door, and in front of him was a small set of tools, axes, sheaths, chisels, punches, cloud beads, and standing platforms. When the woman heard the shout, she slowly looked away from the Yunlan bead in her hand, and the brocade cloud at the end of her eyebrows was vivid and beautiful: "Everything is done?" ”

"Yes, it's basically just one or two days." Liu Yu naturally knows that there is nothing in the world that Liulizhuang can't inquire about. Yunlan chuckled, and there was unconcealed pleasure and ridicule in her voice: "Thank you for your hard work." But ah......"

Liu Yu saw that she was watching a good show, and she was helpless, and she just shook her head lightly. Don't look at Yunlan is the best jewelry master here, but he is straightforward, playful and lively, even Liu Yu, who has never spoken much, can get along with her, but he is often helpless: "Isn't he here again?" ”

I don't know why, since the last time Liu Yu went to the selection of the lantern goddess, every day I can always wait for General Chang Sheng a paper dragonfly, if there is something written on this dragonfly or another explanation, it's okay, but Chang Dong's paper dragonfly is an ordinary paper dragonfly, not only many people in the cabinet don't know why, even Liu Yu himself doesn't know, after a long time, the sisters no longer ridicule Liu Yu, but every day someone sent it to her, it's not strange.

"No, in the past, General Chang always asked someone to send it, but now he came by himself. I heard that you are not here and insist on waiting for you, but I can't help it, so I can only put him in the private room upstairs, and you had better go and see him. He doesn't look very good, most likely he has something important to tell you. Yun Lan thought about it, it was almost noon, and their words would not be finished for a while, and he also needed to prepare well, after all, he would welcome the big driver in the afternoon.

"Liu Yu has seen General Chang, and the general is fine." Liu Yu didn't even have time to change his clothes, and he passed away dressed in white and white. Chang Dong has never seen Liu Yu's true face since the lantern goddess, so many days have passed, and the thoughts in his heart are like a thread that is slowly sorted out, and all of them are hanging on his heart little by little, making him sweet and shallow. Chang Dong has always felt that the personality of the person who can say those heroic words is the same bold, but he was wrong, judging from the current performance, Liu Yu is undoubtedly the representative of Neixiu, gentle and humble, self-denial and courtesy. Typical small home jasper.

Liu Yu didn't care if Chang Dong agreed to her, he sat on the edge of the round table after curtching and bowed, picked up the teacup and looked at it. The people in the pavilion are also very good, and they are willing to bring out the best Taikang. She didn't know how to taste this Taikang, she only knew that this tea was a good tea that could make a lot of money. Yunlan is really a loser, who called her the master of this Muyun Pavilion.

"Hello Miss Liu. I took the liberty to come under it, and I was a girl. Chang Dong originally didn't like these biting words, and he thought it was too troublesome, but the other party was the person he liked and couldn't be simply perfunctory, so he naturally had to be more careful.

"Nothing. General Chang has given gifts to Liu Yu many times, but he has never had a chance to thank him, and he happened to meet him today. Liu Yu thanked the general for remembering Liu Yu so much, but Liu Yu couldn't repay it, and hoped that the general would understand. Liu Yu had no expression on his face, and although his words were gentle, not only for Chang Dong's energy, but also euphemistically explained that he didn't want Chang Dong to continue to do this. A pun, because Liu Yu never likes to drag mud and water.

"Miss Liu is serious, she is not a precious baby, it is already very good that Miss Liu does not dislike it, where do you need anything to repay?" However, Chang Dong, as a martial artist, didn't know another meaning in Liu Yu's voice at all, only when she was embarrassed because she was shy, but in fact, it was not like this.

"General Chang, Liu Yu doesn't know where he got the general's eyes, the general might as well say what he wants directly, if Liu Yu has the ability, he will naturally do it for the general, as for this courtesy letter, I don't think it's necessary." Liu Yu has always believed that nothing is courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief. Chang Dong didn't say his purpose for so long, he could only say that what he wanted was not something simple, but Chang Dong was entangled like this every day, and she was about to lose it.

"Chang likes Miss Liu." Chang Dong understood what he said, looking at Liu Yu's face full of smiles, Liu Yu saw his reflection very clearly through his eyes, holding a teacup, sitting cautiously, there was nothing wrong with it, but the joy in Chang Dong's pupils stimulated her heart. "Huh?" When she heard herself say this, she was full of surprise and uncertainty.

"I always thought that girls should stand behind men, take care of housework, and teach each other husband and children, instead of standing in front of people, shining and dazzling, and the scenery is infinite. But since I met the girl, I have learned that a woman's duty is not to take care, but to be assertive. Chang Dong's eager eyes and sincere words got a faint glance from Liu Yu. These words were very much to her liking.

"I want to ask the girl to give Chang a chance, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but the time is soft, the wind is shining, we will definitely have a good result." Chang Dong saw that people were loose, and hurriedly made persistent efforts. He guessed correctly, although Liu Yu's face was cold, she was still a woman in her heart, and she was always softer than ordinary people.

"Wow-" Chang Dong was still complacent, and was coldly splashed with a cup of tea by Liu Yu, who stood up. Behind the blur in front of his eyes was Liu Yu's clothes, which looked so beautiful no matter what angle he looked. The fragrance lingered silently between her noses, and the most beautiful lilies she had ever encountered in the battlefield were not as beautiful as the smell on her. It was a very elegant and quiet taste, just like her person, rigid on the outside and soft on the inside.

"Doesn't General Chang know that it is immoral to speculate on others?" Liu Yu's face was full of anger, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and her apricot eyes were wide open, which made her whole person more delicate. "I hope I won't meet the general again in the future, Mu Yunge can't fit your immortal."

Throwing out the door, Liu Yu lowered his voice to the maid guarding outside to freezing point: "Send off!" In the future, you are not allowed to step into the pavilion, so you will say that I said it. The maid outside the door was a little confused, but she didn't hesitate at all about Liu Yu's order. There is an iron rule for the people of the whole Liulizhuang, the master's order is always above all else, no matter who the opposite person is, the low-ranking person only needs to listen to the arrangement and do things, and the rest of the things and costs are always the responsibility of the higher-ranking person.

Three days later, late at night.

"Blue Coat, what do you think?" Qing Ruifan stared at the two pieces of paper in front of him, and asked the blue clothes next to him casually. Lan Yi walked over, and the probe saw four words written on the paper: Feng Lan Ruzhi and Jing Ning Lianyue. Lan Yi is not stupid, he understands what he means but doesn't know Qing Ruifan's plans. He has always been honest in front of Qing Ruifan, but he really doesn't know what this matter means: "My subordinates are stupid, and I don't know what His Highness is referring to." ”

"Literally, which one do you prefer?" Qing Ruifan likes to talk to smart people. He still has no answer to this, which is why even if he agreed to the request of the lantern goddess to ascend the throne at that time, it still dragged on for so long. Gu Lingge is not here at this time, and he doesn't know where he went, and Yang Li'er is naturally in the East Palace, neither of them is there, and it is safer at this time.

"As far as subordinates are concerned, Feng Lan is better than Jing Ning. The position of the middle palace needs not only to balance the harem and make the palace peaceful, but also the mother of a country, which needs to replace the country and interact with various countries. "The blue coat is a matter of facts. To be honest, Yang Li'er in his eyes is not a good type, maybe she is a very qualified side concubine in front of Qing Ruifan, but she is in charge of the harem, which is not suitable for such a person.

Yang Li'er has an extremely strong wariness of all the women who appear next to Qing Ruifan, and since Qing Ruifan is the emperor, she will not be the only one, if she doesn't realize this, it will be difficult to even survive in the harem, let alone govern the harem.

On the other hand, Gu Lingge's words are different, this woman doesn't seem to care about anything, but she is the one who helps Qing Ruifan the most, and she and Qing Ruifan don't have a too close relationship, so it is more harmonious for the harem.

"Maybe His Highness values Jing Ning Lianyue more, but His Highness should also know what kind of choice it is." Lan Yi is not so much a personal manager, in fact, he is more like Qing Ruifan's staff officer, if Qing Ruifan can't make up his mind, he will naturally ask him, and Lan Yi is the person he trusts the most.

"I see, you go down first." Qing Ruifan closed his eyes slightly. He has asked this question to many people, some know what these eight words refer to, and those who don't know anything, and everyone points directly to Feng Lan Ruzhi. In a situation like the current one, he can understand the need for an iron-fisted harem master, but the strange thing is that he himself does not reject this, and it seems that choosing Feng Lan is the result of his own heart.

Really, is that so, Zhi? Or Ah Ling?

"Niangniang, she should be the queen." The hall not far from the Ci'an Hall is called Lanning Palace, the hall is lit with lights, and the whimpering cries are resounding in the sky, in the sleeping hall, a mother with a serene face and a low voice looks at the woman in front of her who is dressed in blue and ink-colored clothes, and she is turning Buddhist beads in her hand and chanting words. The incense in the hall filled the room and then diffused out, and the tourmaline on the woman's right hand loomed in the light mist. The woman's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was faint, and it was even more hazy and wonderful in the middle of the night.

"Then we don't need to do anything, don't let the old woman find out, after all the rituals are completed, this palace wants to see her." Mama listened to the order, nodded and withdrew. The woman's eyes opened, the hand holding the Buddha beads was clenched, the nails were sharp, the threads of the Buddha beads were scattered, and the red sandalwood beads that jingled and fell to the ground rolled down, the woman's eyes were full of desolation, looking at the beads, the beautiful curvature of her chin was raised, and she looked at the lights next to her, and said lightly: "Sister, ......"
