Chapter 90: Pretty but Edible
When the snow covered the golden eaves of the imperial city, Shen Shiqing finally returned to the West Garden.
After changing the clothes on her body, she immediately asked people to find the first generation of Yong Yibo to inherit the title for her son.
Looking at the word "嫡出" on it, she hooked her lips and smiled.
Replacing the son-in-law with the child born after committing an official offense, and the crime of bullying the king, this is simply a political achievement sent to the door for the imperial historians.
"Senior female official, you will copy a copy of this recital, send it to Li Congyuan tomorrow, and then pass on my message, like Yong Yibo, who dares to stretch out his hand to the silver of Taifu Temple with the protection of his ancestors and his official position, he will never be the only one, and he dares to collude with others, I will take his life so that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will know, no matter what kind of background he is, what kind of official position, I will not tolerate it."
The senior female officer put her hands in front of her and bowed down in response to "yes", and said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked someone to send a snack today, because Your Majesty was not there, Fang Zhangyin planned to accept it, and Weichen made his own opinion, because the words of the person who came were not in accordance with the etiquette law, so he asked the person to return the thing."
Glancing at Gao Wanxin, Shen Shiqing nodded:
"Female officials are my ministers, and it is the right way to resist things that are not in accordance with the law with rules. The next time something like this happens, you can beat someone up on the spot and send them back."
"Yes."
Gao Wanxin retreated, Shen Shiqing looked at the chicken and the three cats standing aside, first two folds that were anxious to be disposed of, and then beckoned to the two:
"The people of Cining Palace still dare to dominate in front of you? You used the means to make the high-ranking female official stand up, right?"
The three cats approached the emperor with a shy face, and their eyes narrowed into a slit:
"The emperor is really meticulous and clever! The little abacus in the slave's heart turned out to be on the ears of the emperor. Today's delivery is the godson of Eunuch Li of Cining Palace, a few days ago, when he was rampant about food, the slave maid let a little son and grandson stop him a little and let him show his true nature, the senior female official has always loved the slave and maid, these junior little eunuchs, so they reprimanded people and drove them back."
The three cats never concealed their closeness and maintenance to the female officials in front of the emperor, and also learned Gao Wanxin's words of etiquette and etiquette.
Shen Shiqing looked at the chicken that had been silent again.
"Yiji, you are willing to give up your dignity to make the female officials in front of the palace stand up, you have done a good job."
Yiji hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave and maid are all given by the emperor, and the so-called decency is just the grace of the emperor, where can it be called to let or not to let go, just begging the emperor to work less, these days the emperor is exhausted, and the slave and maid implore the emperor to take care of himself."
"I know that when you get up and speak, I am praising you, not making you kneel."
Shen Shiqing sighed in her heart, Yiji, the eunuch, was definitely the most transparent kind of person she knew, who could change from a helpless little eunuch to a celebrant in the treacherous palace, and could serve by the side of Zhao Surui, who had an erratic temperament, for so many years, he relied on this transparency.
He knows Zhao Surui in the past, which is not unusual.
But after her soul reached Zhao Surui's body, this chicken could always think in front of her, which was an amazing ability. ….
"How is the relationship between the first chicken and the second dog and the prince of England recently?"
"Back to the emperor's words, Your Majesty came to Xiyuan to live this time, and the slave maid specially arranged for two dogs to guard the Qianqing Palace, he took the opportunity to leave the palace twice, and the second time he was found by the people of the British prince. Although the prince of England was imprisoned in the Ning Anbo Mansion, he still acted frequently, and he knew the affairs of the court and China well, and he gave Ergou a bag of gold, and wanted to buy the news of His Majesty's Imperial Front from Ergou, and Ergou pretended to respond."
Shen Shiqing nodded, her eyes narrowed, and she looked at the private seal that was hung back on her body after returning to the palace.
Reaching out and rubbing this piece of jade with the same origin as her hairpin, she rubbed it twice, and her heart settled down again.
"Let Ergou not be impatient, there is not much news that can be obtained from the prince of England, but it should be deep, the father and son of the king seem to be reckless, but in fact they are forbearant and suspicious, and Ergou should be prepared to entangle with them for several years, and don't startle the snake."
"Yes, Emperor."
Shen Shiqing waved her hand: "Today you covered up for me for another day, so you don't have to wait at night, retreat."
When a chicken and three cats withdrew from the warm pavilion, they saw four rats still guarding the door.
The four rats with low eyebrows were standing under the porch, thinking about what they had seen and heard today, and when they looked up, they saw two pairs of eyes looking straight at themselves.
If he were a real mouse, he might be scared to death!
"What are you doing here?"
One chicken and three cats are not nonsense, the chicken is left and the cat is right, and he took this mouse to the corner where the back man is still leeward on the other side.
The three cats glanced at the chicken and asked first:
"The rumored Shen Niangzi, has the emperor been to see him today?"
The fact that the emperor has Wei Wu's relics, the four of them naturally know about it, and the other three are not like the four rats who follow the emperor every time he leaves the palace, so they naturally want to come to inquire about the news with him.
Today, the emperor went out of the palace after lunch, saying that he was going to the princess's mansion, but in the evening he sent a message back and said that the dinner was used outside the palace.
Princess Yueqing's house has a light diet, according to the words of their emperor in the past, it is "feeding rabbits and rabbits can be hungry and sleepwalking", the emperor has never avoided it, so how could he stay there to eat?
The emperor naturally went to another place.
For example, I went to meet Mrs. Shen.
Four rats looked at the three cats, and one fat cat bared its teeth with bright claws.
Four rats looked at a chicken, and a thin chicken had a sinister look in his eyes.
Lowering his eyes, he nodded.
The three cats almost jumped on the spot.
"Then what is the benefit of Shen Niangzi that ordinary people don't have?! can hook our emperor's soul and fly! I have also seen Shen Daxue Mao Ye before, dignified and dignified, the daughter he gave birth to is not a fox?!"
"Fox?"
The four rats thought for a moment and shook their heads.
"There's really nothing out of the ordinary, Mrs. Shen. Although the demeanor is not dignified, nor is it flattering, if you want to say something special, although there is, but ...... It has nothing to do with the fox seducing the Lord, don't say such crazy words in the future, be careful to spread it."
"And what is she?"
Growing up with the emperor since he was a child, the three cats couldn't imagine that the emperor in his family, who loves horses more than women, could like a woman.
The four rats sighed: ....
"Lively, impatient, words and deeds are a little like our emperor in the past, only less murderous and more squeamish, life is pretty, in terms of appearance alone, we are not inferior to our mother, but it is good to be a man, with a plain face, and the appearance is not obvious."
Not to mention the three cats, even a chicken was a little surprised.
He spoke: "Listening to your description, I think our emperor just found a like-minded playmate for himself, and it is no different from the previous Ming Ruoshui. Before the emperor hugged ...... Helping that Shen Niangzi out horizontally is just because Shen Niangzi is drunk."
The four rats pursed their lips:
"I had that guess before today. But today, our emperor personally cooked noodles for Mrs. Shen, and he picked the soup and pulled the noodles."
Recalling that horrific scene, he raised his eyes to look at the wooden chicken and the stone cat in front of him, and stretched out three fingers:
"Mrs. Shen ate three bowls of noodles! I also said that it was the first time I had seen such a delicious lady!"
The three cats widened their eyes, and they had a preliminary impression of the rumored Shen Niang in their hearts:
"Pretty but edible."
————
Knowing that "Zhao Surui" had persuaded Princess Yueqing to take charge of her own palace, Lin Miaozhen almost clapped her hands and applauded, with her little aunt and second aunt to carry it for her, the burden on her shoulders was much smaller.
"Sister, don't be in a hurry to be happy, the eldest princess of Yueqing is a practical person, she is not the kind of person who sits at home and waits for someone to give her an official position."
Lin Miaozhen thought about the gentle and kind elder in her memory, who always advised her to look forward and not to be imprisoned, and always felt that it was not right with what "Zhao Surui" said.
Shen Shi
Qing just laughed, you can't look at what the person said, but what she did, when she handed over the first two color formulas to Zhao Mingyin, Zhao Mingyin didn't even thank her, she didn't take it to heart, but Zhao Mingyin still couldn't believe her.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Zhao Mingyin asked Chuiyun to bring a new horse-faced skirt to see her.
It's the color she brought out.
"With the help of the king, I didn't dare to sleep at night, and I tried eight times in a row to achieve initial results, this skirt is made of the first cloth, and please leave the true monarch to appreciate it."
Even Shen Shiqing, who used to be arrogant and conceited, couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Mingyin's amazing courage.
Lowered his head and picked up the teapot in Lin Miaozhen's hand and wanted to refill a glass of water for herself, but what she didn't expect was the medicinal soup that was poured out.
She sniffed it and looked at Lin Miaozhen:
"My sister has a bad menstrual relationship, why didn't she find a doctor earlier? Just soaking in angelica water is not the right symptom."
Lin Miaozhen hurriedly snatched the kettle back, with anger on her face:
"I still thought you had only grown up in political affairs, but I didn't expect you to even know about these women."
Glancing at the kettle in her hand, she smiled:
"For this little problem of mine to alarm the imperial doctor, the queen mother will also know, when the time comes, what will the courtiers use to annoy you for many years without an heir, won't it also make you waste your mental strength?"
Shen Shiqing shook her head:
"Some useless excerpts don't matter, how can your body matter if you have a sister."
After speaking, Shen Shiqing asked the female official beside the queen to find the imperial doctor.
"Sister, the female official in charge is in charge of palace affairs, and she must also take her body to heart." ….
Lin Miaozhen looked at "Zhao Surui" and smiled:
"Okay, my brother knows that he advised me to take care of himself, and I will definitely do it in the future."
After a while, Lin Miaozhen asked again:
"You're also in your twenties, but you still let me occupy this back position, so you never thought about finding a confidant to accompany you for a lifetime?"
Snow fell outside the window again.
It's even bigger than yesterday's, Shen Shiqing looked at those snowflakes, and smiled faintly at the corners of her lips.
"Of course I thought about it."
Her father's affection made her once think that husbands and wives in the world were like this, and as she grew older, as her father ran around, she realized that the so-called "raising eyebrows" and "deep love" were the accidents that would happen in the world.
On the contrary, all kinds of women, who were bought and sold in the name of marriage, entered other people's homes, and from then on were just slaves or animals who wanted to sleep with them, give birth to children, and have to be housekeepers, and wanted to compete for favors, and they wanted to be a good ornament in the house.
At that time, her father and mother always told her that she would definitely meet someone who could fall in love with her and grow old together.
She said she did.
It's like she believes that her father and mother can make her filial piety to the end of her head.
When the dream was shattered, she woke up and saw that all the women in the world were in the mud.
"Have you thought about what kind of companion you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for someone who sees me like himself."
Shen Shiqing smiled and said her answer to Lin Miaozhen.
What she Shen Shiqing wants is to be such a person.
She is not a slave, nor is she an animal, she is an ordinary person like others, if others want to love her, they must not look down on her, even if it is only a little lower, every cent, the so-called "love" is not worthy of her.
Lin Miaozhen thought about it, and couldn't help but shake her head, her tone was a little bitter: "You are the king of a country, who dares to regard you as like himself?"
"It doesn't hurt if you don't, Qing Zhizhi, Feng Guoku, Xing female officials, and the whole nine sides...... I also have to go on a northern expedition to the west, and love can't help me."
Sitting opposite Lin Miaozhen on the couch, Shen Shiqing supported her head on the table with her hands, her tone was leisurely, and she didn't care at all.
Like Shen Shiqing a few years ago, Lin Miaozhen quickly saw Zhao Mingyin's amazing courage.
"The minister has summoned twenty-four female bookkeepers in his estate, and they are all well versed
The account keepers, with the account books they have researched, can clarify the five years of accumulation of accounts in Taifu Temple within a month."
Zhao Mingyin, the eldest princess of Yueqing, who was wearing a princess robe, stood in the Duanji Palace, and the words were loud.
"If it doesn't work out, please degrade yourself to the people, exile the nine sides, and never return."
"If it happens, please ask the queen to hand over the Duanji Palace to the minister, and within three years, the minister will return five hundred outstanding female officials to the Dayong court."
