Chapter 80: Settling In
Yunxi nodded, carefully wrote down the name, and said to Wang Gui with a smile: "I'm tired of the prince today." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the green sleeves on the side.
Seeing this, Green Sleeves stepped forward and took out a silver ticket from his sleeve with a smile on his face and stuffed it to Wang Gui.
Wang Gui quietly put it in his sleeve, then called a thousand, and said with a smile: "The noble man is tired today, so the servant will retire, and please rest for your life." ”
Yunxi nodded, glanced at a few eunuchs, and Wang Quanan, who was standing at the forefront, immediately stepped forward with a smile and sent Wang Gui out of the East Side Hall with a smile.
Seeing this, Yunxi was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for Wang Quanan to come back, and then said with a pleasant face: "Okay, you all get up!" The moment she got up, Yunxi glanced at the green pothos and motioned for her to reward these people, as for the rules, she felt that with Mama Xu, the rules of these people could not be wrong.
Don't look at these people now, they all look low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, but Yunxi knows in his heart that if he really wants to subdue these people for his own use, it is not enough to just give sweetness, so whether it is a stick or a sweet date, it is an indispensable means.
Concubine Rong's attitude, Yunxi sees through it but doesn't say it. She knew in her heart that people gave her some face, it couldn't be just because of her Mama's relationship, maybe there were other reasons she didn't know, after all, if they were in the same palace, they could be regarded as allies in the same trench, and it was better to help each other than to stab each other.
However, Concubine Rong currently has a son and a daughter, and with this, she is invincible, so as long as she doesn't make a move on herself, Yunxi will definitely not tear her face, as for the other people in Yanxi Palace, maintaining a superficial harmony should be the best choice for them.
Entering the inner room, Luluo stepped forward and helped Yunxi clean up the inside again, while Mama Xu was left outside to regulate those palace maids and eunuchs and inquire about the news in the palace.
There are even stones in this palace with eyes and ears, and Yunxi doesn't think that he can cope with the whole audience with those two clicks.
When she didn't enter the palace, she was worried in her heart, and after entering the palace, she didn't get calm because of this, on the contrary, when she came out of the main hall, her brows became more and more wrinkled.
She knew that the palace was not as good as before in the past few years, and the emperor's son in the early years either died this or that, and the premature death rate was so high that the emperor didn't dare to leave his son in the palace to raise him, which shows how muddy the water in this palace is. Listening to Mama Xu's meaning, in the past few years, the palace was cleaned vigorously, and there were many fewer problems than before, which can be seen from the fact that the fourth elder brother was born and raised in the palace.
In this regard, although Yunxi felt a little at ease, he did not lose his original vigilance because of this.
Seeing Mama Xu pick up the curtain and enter, Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at the green sleeves waiting on the side, and the green sleeves bowed down knowingly, and then opened the curtain and went out to guard the house.
Mama Xu took two steps forward, saluted Yunxi, and said, "Noble, these people are still useful, but it remains to be seen whether there is someone behind them." ”
The people in the palace can't be reasoned with normal. Everyone may have helplessness, but everyone may use or be used, it can be said that in order to survive, the palace is actually the most unsympathetic place.
Whether it is family, love, friendship or kindness, anyway, as long as it is a feeling, it is not reliable here, because there are too many temptations of interests, and there is always one thing that will break the existing situation and divide everything originally. Therefore, this master-servant relationship or something, until the end, no one can trust anyone with complete confidence.
Mama Xu's words are clearly to remind Yunxi that all of these people seem to have to be used, but in fact, none of them can be used.
Yunxi listened to her words, and his face was clear, obviously prepared in his heart: "Since Mama thinks that it remains to be observed, then let's take a look first, use it if you have to, and find a chance to clean it up if you can't use it." ”
"The old slave understands. Mama Xu nodded, and then talked about the basic situation in the palace.
Now it is Concubine Tong Guifei who manages the palace affairs, and the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother seem to be indifferent, but if they really want to make a move, let alone Concubine Tong, I am afraid that the emperor will have to back down three points.
This means that don't look at Concubine Tong Guifei's beauty, in fact, you have to look at the face of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in everything.
Green sleeves and green pothos were both mentioned by Mama Xu, so they naturally understood the meaning of her words, and the two of them didn't say anything, but they made up their minds to keep an eye on these people, observe and observe, and see what kind of ideas they have.
Yun Xi sat at the table, lowered his head, pinched the handkerchief in both hands, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement from the others?"
"Back to the nobleman's words, Concubine Rong Niangniang's side is fine, but Concubine Li and Yu, who lives in the apse, promised to make frequent small moves. Although Mama Xu hasn't gone out, she has already made all the things she should inquire about and know.
As soon as she finished saying this, Green Sleeves and Green Pothos frowned, with a hint of indignation in their expressions, but Yunxi himself seemed to be unaware, and chuckled: "Since this is the case, then leave them alone, we have just entered the court, and there is nothing to be afraid of people." ”
"Noble, are we just going to let them go like this?" Luthos couldn't help but feel a little depressed and unhappy when she thought of these people with bad intentions.
It's not easy to live in the house, but in this palace, it's still not easy, every time she thinks about the suffering that her own Gege has suffered, she can't wait to tear up those who bullied Gege.
Yunxi looked at the indignant appearance of the green pothos, and knew that she had good intentions, so she couldn't help but say comfortingly: "Don't be impatient for a while." The rules in this palace have always been complicated, whether it is Concubine Li Shu or Yu agrees, they are all old people here, they dare to do this, they are definitely not afraid of us making trouble, we are not afraid of making trouble for a little thing, it is better to be cold, wait for a suitable time, and then give it a blow, and clean up the people. ”
Compared with the other concubines in the palace, Concubine Li Shu and Yu promised to be just clowns jumping off the beam, and it was not worth their too much effort.
Mama Xu looked at the calm and quiet Yunxi, and felt a little at ease, she was afraid that her master would be impulsive, and now it seems that although her master is young, his temperament is very stable, and he thinks that in the future, even if he is not loved by the emperor, he can keep himself. For her, a lonely old woman, such a result can actually be regarded as seeking kindness.
"Your Excellency is right. The palace is the most impulsive, as long as a little thing does not affect the overall situation, it is staring, and there is no need to care about everything. Mama Xu glanced at the pothos and reminded them softly.
"Yes. Luluo and Greensleeves should have spoken in unison, obviously the two of them listened to Mama Xu's words.
Seeing this, Yunxi didn't say anything more, gave a few orders, and led Mama Xu and them to start reorganizing the things in the inner room. Although she didn't bring many things into the palace, she had to clean up the things that should be cleaned up, and no matter how good the things in this house were, none of them could rest assured without their hands.
Kangxi didn't know that his secret preparations did not win the hearts of the beauties, at this time, Kangxi, who was handling government affairs in the Qianqing Palace, finally managed to deal with the matter at hand, and then there was good news from the south, his mood at this time can be imagined.
When a newcomer enters the palace, it is generally handled by the concubine in charge, and Kangxi sent someone to say that it would be over. If it is a different person, maybe Kangxi will forget it, if he is interested in paying attention to one or two, he will throw it aside if he is not interested, but if he is replaced by Yunxi, even if he does not always take people to heart, he is extremely concerned in his heart.
"How is the noble man now?Can you settle down?" Kangxi turned the wrench on his hand, glanced at Liang Jiugong on the side casually, and asked in a low voice.
Liang Jiugong was trembling at Kangxi's glance, "If you go back to the emperor, the nobles have already settled down in the east side hall of Yanxi Palace, and the people who are waiting have also been sent over." ”
"Yes. Kangxi replied in a low voice, and just when Liang Jiugong thought that this matter was over, Kangxi opened his mouth and ordered: "She loves vegetarian dishes and has a light taste, let the imperial dining room watch and prepare, find an appropriate time, and send it over." ”
Kangxi's mind was all in Yunxi, since he had made up his mind not to let her be wronged, it was naturally impossible to just spend his time picking a palace for her and sending a few minions to finish the matter.
"Huh. Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi, who turned his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly thought in his heart that he was prepared, otherwise if he couldn't answer what he said just now, he would definitely suffer this meal.
In other words, he thought that he had valued this noble man enough, but now that he thought about it, he had to weigh two more points.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs generally sends different grades of ingredients according to the level of position, and the nobles' portions are just those, and what tricks can be made. However, with Kangxi's instructions, it is completely different, the ingredients are optional, the dishes are optional, only the nobles are not satisfied, and there is nothing that cannot be satisfied.
Soon, it was noon, because there were very few concubines in Yanxi Palace, and Yunxi's position was second only to Concubine Rong, her lunch was quickly delivered.
There are a total of six dishes, three meat and three vegetarian, the dishes are rich in color and light in taste, and they are not as greasy as Mama Xu said.
Mama Xu saw Yunxi looking at her with a puzzled expression, and she was inexplicably shocked in her heart. She is clear about the examples of the nobles in the palace, and she doesn't know everything about the dishes, but she also knows a little about them. But these things in front of her are obviously not something that a noble person can enjoy, that is, Concubine Rong herself, and she doesn't have anything to eat, not to mention that Yunxi is a nobleman, this dish is obviously not available to nobles, is there anything behind this that she didn't expect?
Well, although there are many rules in the palace, when you meet those who stand on a high place, this rule is no longer a rule. Thinking of the trivial news in the palace, Mama Xu glanced at Yunxi, who had a beautiful appearance, and could probably guess what was going on.
