Volume 3 Edge Chapter 57 Grace and Might
As night fell, a layer of fog hung over the Forbidden City.
The walking palace maids and guards all wore lanterns and walked slowly. On the long palace road, it is no longer like the people coming and going during the day, and it is more lonely.
Xuan Ye's imperial chariot stopped in front of the gate of Yikun Palace, and before he could fall into Jiaojiao, he heard Wei Yangji's sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived." ”
Xuan Ye walked in, bypassed the wooden shadow wall door in front of the door, and saw Chun Xi leading the people of Yikun Palace to worship.
"Greetings to the Emperor." Chunxi was helped up by Xuan Ye and led her to the dormitory.
Several people behind him were accustomed to it and retreated silently.
"Where's Yinqi?" As soon as Xuan Ye entered the door, he glanced around, but he didn't see his son.
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Mu Hui coming from the door with Yinqi in his arms.
"Give me a hug." Xuan Ye took it from her hand, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. Chunxi stood next to him and smiled.
"If you don't see each other, it's like every other autumn. I thought that I would come over to see you two in the morning, but I didn't know that I was called by my ancestors. After leaving Cining Palace, he was busy dealing with the twists and turns, and he was delayed again and again. Xuan Ye spit out all the depression of the day today, and felt comfortable at the moment.
Seeing the little man in his arms staring at him with a pair of eyes, occasionally he was made by one or two small movements, and a smile attracted him to grin.
This child is the baby they have been looking forward to for so long, and he can't put it down. Last night, a grand 100-day feast made this little guy different from other children from birth.
I was tired of being with my son for a long time, until the child was sleepy and fell asleep in his arms, Xuan Ye reluctantly took the child to Mu Hui and let her take Yinqi down.
"Since the emperor is tired today, the concubines will relax for you." Chun Xi pulled Xuan Ye back to sit on the couch, widened his coat for him, and sat behind him and gently pinched his shoulders for him.
Xuan Ye closed his eyes, enjoying the comfort of this moment, he was indeed tired from running back and forth today. The matter of the fold bothered him again. I came to Yikun Palace not only because I missed the two of them, but also because Chunxi could pay attention to his heart the most and knew what he needed most.
Suddenly remembering something, Xuan Ye grabbed the hand that was still kneading on his shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. He asked very gently, "I heard that something happened in your palace two days ago?" When he came in, he glanced into the fish pond, and there was not even any water in it. What's going on? ”
Originally, I thought that Xuan Ye was worried about a lot of things today, and he didn't plan to mention anything else, and he didn't want him to notice it himself, so he asked about it.
It was not easy not to say it, but frowned slightly: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, there was a reckless slave in the palace of the concubines two days ago, and he sprinkled more when feeding the fish, and those fish were delicate and couldn't eat so much." That's ......"
"The fish in that pond have always been fine, even if they sprinkle some more fish food, they won't all be gone, right?" Xuan Ye knew that she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and she also heard that she already had a solution.
Sure enough, hearing Xuan Ye say this, Chun Xi had no choice but to explain honestly: "It's the eunuch Kong Yang, the leader of the concubine's palace, he should have been punished by the concubine for doing something wrong a few days ago, and he was heartbroken." I have bad intentions, so I ...... But the fish is gone, even if it is the beloved thing of the concubine, it is not good to punish the people under them for them. ”
"But it's not appropriate to punish if you do something wrong, if it is known, won't you follow the example and not take the masters in your eyes?" Xuan Ye looked at her, and there was a little more force in his words.
Chun Xi said: "The concubine also thought of a way. Yesterday, since I had already agreed to my sister's marriage to Prince Yu, I had to ask my sister to help her. Although she has a lot of people under her, this is a big deal after all. The concubine was in the palace and couldn't cook for her, so the concubine wanted to let a few clever people under her go to her to help, so that the concubine could rest assured. ”
"Do you want that Kong Yang to follow?" Xuan Ye asked.
"yes." Chun Xi nodded: "The concubine wants to let him suffer a little outside first, and if he still doesn't repent, then ......."
Xuan Ye didn't let Chun Xi continue, in fact, according to Xuan Ye's thoughts, people like Kong Yang couldn't stay. Maybe next time I'll have to put something in my master's food. Of course, Xuan Ye didn't know that Kong Yang had already done this.
Since Chun Xi intends to let Kong Yang out of the palace, there must be other concerns. He didn't want to continue listening, as long as Chunxi and Yinqi were safe, nothing else had to be pursued to the end.
When the sky was bright, Xuan Ye went early.
Chun Xi didn't listen to him and continued to take a nap, Yinqi was still young, although he was taken care of by a nurse on weekdays. After all, Chunxi also feels sorry for her children, as long as she is empty, she will take care of it by herself.
After all, it's only been more than three months, and I'm always sleepy. After lulling him to sleep, Chunxi tiptoed away from him, and repeatedly told the nurse to watch carefully.
Chunxi asked Mu Hui to gather all the female eunuchs of Yikun Palace outside the main hall and wait until everyone was ready. Only then did I see Chunxi get up from the couch in the main hall and sit on the throne in the bright room.
Normally, there is nothing to do, and Chun Xi will not sit here, but today, she feels that she should put Yikun Palace in order.
Chun Yin is indispensable on such an occasion, looking at the sleepiness on her face, you can also know that Junyao's little girl made a fuss for a long time last night.
On the throne, Chun Xi was dressed in a royal blue robe, showing luxury. Somehow, she suddenly remembered that when she first entered the palace a few years ago, when she first entered the Yikun Palace to be worshiped by these palace maids and eunuchs.
At that time, Kong Yang was still followed by Xiaoqinzi and Xiaoyuanzi. At that time, Shu Sleeve was still leading Lan Xin with a smile on her face.
Nowadays, things are not people.
Shu Sleeve is dead, Lan Xin is also forced to estranged from her on the surface, and Kong Yang's repeated betrayal has made Chunxi realize that there is indeed not a person in this palace who can win people's hearts with compassion.
The combination of grace and power should be a clear road.
The crowd kneeling outside the door was all apprehensive because of the sudden silence of Chunxi. They couldn't tell what was going on, just like half an hour ago, Fu'er suddenly picked a few people, packed their luggage and left Yikun Palace.
No one knows where they went or what they were going to do.
But when everyone was inexplicable, they heard Mu Hui come and asked everyone to come here.
Chun Xi raised his hand and motioned for Mu Hui to speak.
Mu Hui stood in front of the door and said loudly: "There is nothing special today, but recently, the people of Yikun Palace have been busy with the little brother's 100-day banquet. Although the emperor, the queen mother, and even the queen mother have already given rewards. But today, Yi Concubine Niangniang still wants to talk about meritorious deeds again. Everyone will get a bounty and come to me later to collect it. Now, the mother wants to give extra rewards to the individual, the best performers. Of course, we all see in our eyes, some people do well, and naturally some people are lazy. But Niangniang said that these lazy people can not care about it, and they can not be severely punished. But today we can't go unpunished, so let's punish them for washing the clothes they just changed yesterday. ”
As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar below, some clapped their hands, and some secretly smiled bitterly.
"Okay, let's talk about these things first." Mu Hui took out a booklet and read them one by one: "Ling'er, Xiao Lizi." When you are on duty, you laugh and make noise, affecting others and delaying your own affairs...... Dong'er, when you were on duty, you secretly ate the medicinal food prepared for Guo Guiren in the small kitchen...... "Mu Hui read it one by one, and counted them one by one, and there were nearly a dozen people.
After reading it, Mu Hui turned another page and read out a few names. Everyone also found that the people she was talking about were the people who left with Fu'er half an hour ago.
"Everyone must be wondering, why aren't any of the people on these lists there?" Mu Hui smiled: "Come to think of it, everyone knows that at the 100-day banquet, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have already given marriage to Lord Han and Prince Yu, and they will get married next month." Our mother and Lord Han are like sisters, so we intend to choose a competent person to go out of the palace to help. The emperor has promised and has arranged to leave the palace. As you all should know, it's a good job. ”
There was an uproar at the bottom, everyone knew that it was a happy event to go out of the palace gate, and they were still ordered to leave the palace, which was a glory.
Inside and outside the palace, whoever hears it has to give some face, it's still something promised by the emperor, who doesn't want such a reward. began to blame themselves, knowing that today, they should have been more neat, and they had to have this opportunity because of their mother's appreciation.
"However, during the time when they left, you in the palace must not slack off. I'm sure everyone wants to see the wedding that Prince Yu promised. I don't know, which of you can have this blessing, you can go out of the palace with your mother to see for yourself. Mu Hui said with a smile, and there was a commotion below.
After it was quieter, Mu Hui said again: "Of course, this time Fu'er and Kong Yang both went out." Their positions are very important. Niangniang already has a candidate in her heart, Xiao Qinzi will temporarily replace his master and take the position of the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace, and go to him for everything that needs to be reported in the future. As for Fu'er's side, I will also carry some more, and the girls will have the opportunity to enter the temple and wait. The candidates haven't come out yet, how hard you have worked. ”
As soon as these words were finished, even the people who had been said to be punished before and had to do laundry for others began to get excited.
Who wouldn't want to go into the temple and serve the concubine closely. That's definitely a great thing, if you really enter the temple and get the appreciation of the mother, today's Fu'er and Xiaoqinzi are their tomorrow.
It wasn't until Mu Hui finished saying everything that she heard Chun Xi say: "What Mu Hui said today can be taken seriously, this palace has always liked capable people." Now, the opportunity is in front of you, and whoever can seize it will be the real winner. Don't envy the few people who left the palace today, they go out with glory, and if they can't do their errands, they will also be punished. ”
"The slave understands." Everyone replied respectfully, and nodded with satisfaction.
Let's hope she did the right thing today. Everyone has the heart to climb up, and no one wants to be just a little palace maid in the palace, waiting for the day when the age is up and out of the palace.
Who knew that they would be able to see happiness when they left the palace gate. It's better to seize this opportunity and become the one that everyone envies. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
