Chapter 68: It's just a pawn after all
In Qifeng Palace, Xie Xi leaned on the beauty chair and looked at the account books sent by the Shanggong Bureau.
Yu Qin came in from outside the hall and saluted her, "Niangniang, Your Majesty recruited Hu Meiren last night." ”
Xie Cheng paused, raised his head to look at her, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Emperor Mingde's harem is not much, although Xie Ji is in charge of the six palaces, but she has always disdained to listen to this kind of thing.
She doesn't care who the other party is, nor is she interested in competing with others for favor, Yuqin knows it.
But she specifically mentioned Hu Meiren, which explained what was in it.
"Niangniang hasn't seen that Hu Meiren yet, has she?" Yu Qin came to her side, and the expression on her face could not show joy or anger.
But Xie Ji grew up with her, and she saw through her unhappiness at a glance.
"What the hell is going on?" is just a beauty, don't say that she is lucky, even if she is favored, it is nothing, and it is impossible to be made a queen.
Although Xie Mei had never seen Hu Meiren, she heard that it was offered by the third prince, and even so, it was even more impossible.
"I didn't take her to heart before, but when I met by chance today, she actually ...... Unexpectedly......" Yuqin opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't continue.
Xie Ji couldn't help but be curious, she was about to speak, and the voice of the palace people came from outside the hall, "Niangniang, Hu Ronghua asks to see." ”
"It's going up fast." After saying a few words with a smile, Xie Cheng reached out and patted Yuqin to let her discourage, and then ordered outside the hall, "Please let her in." ”
After a short time, Hu Ronghua entered the hall and walked gracefully towards Xie Xie.
At the moment when she saw her clearly, Xie Ji couldn't help but be in a trance, and as Hu Ronghua got closer and closer, she understood the reason why Yu Qin was angry.
"Excuse me." Her voice suddenly froze.
"Thank you, Lady Gui." Hu Ronghua didn't know why, and stood in the hall a little helpless.
"What is the matter with you coming to Qifeng Palace?" The voice was still cold, Xie Cheng lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Hu Ronghua, so as not to suppress the anger in her heart.
Yu Qin stood behind her, she was so angry just now, but now she was worried about her.
Afraid that Xie Cheng would be angry, she reached out and put her hand on her shoulder, kneading her shoulder for her, and reminding her to dissipate her anger.
"Back to the concubine Niangniang, the concubine just entered the palace, and was promoted by His Majesty's gift, so I came to greet the concubine."
Hu Ronghua will come to Qifeng Palace to ask for peace, and he was indeed reminded that he was a palace man with some eyes.
She heard that Concubine Xie was the most gentle, and she would never embarrass the harem concubines and palace people.
She couldn't figure out why all she got was a cold face.
"This palace has received your salute, so step aside." His gaze fell back on the account book, and Xie Cheng commanded coldly.
Hu Ronghua opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated towards the outside of the hall after the blessing body.
Before she left, Xie Cheng smashed the cup in her hand.
"Niangniang is angry, don't be angry." Yu Qin was also angry, she knew very well why her master was angry.
"Zhou Yu is really good, he actually found such a person to dedicate to His Majesty!" Still unable to dissipate his anger, Xie Ji's eyes were full of anger.
If Zhou Yu was in front of her at this time, I was afraid that she would be beaten.
"Perhaps...... His Royal Highness didn't remember it anymore, so he ......" Yu Qin spoke weakly, but he couldn't even convince himself.
She knew in her heart that even if the third prince Zhou Yu couldn't remember, it was impossible for His Majesty not to remember, but he still accepted people into the harem, and even promoted to the throne.
"How can you not remember? She has such a good temperament, and treats her children and nephews like parents and children......" Thinking of the old man, Xie Xi's eyes turned red.
"Your Majesty...... I really don't have a heart. She pursed her lips, her eyes cold.
"Oh, yes, if he has a heart, how can he ......"
"Niangniang is cautious." Yu Qin hurriedly took her hand and stopped what she was going to say later.
Xie Cheng closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to her former calm.
"Mother, do you want ...... Get rid of her? "Hu Ronghua was sent to the palace by Zhou Yu, and in the final analysis, he was just a chess piece.
If she hadn't given birth to a face like that, she wouldn't have done anything, but she was very similar, but she was happy with Emperor Mingde, which made Xie Ji unbearable.
"She ......" rubbed her eyebrows, and she spoke a little tiredly, "When the autumn hunt comes, Your Majesty will not take her, and when the time comes, find an excuse and send her away." ”
"Yes." Yu Qin responded.
——
In the Lingyun Palace, several confidential ministers sat aside, waiting for Emperor Mingde's orders.
The excerpts were sent from all over the country, and as expected, this year was probably a good year.
Shen Huai also returned to Beijing to ask the imperial court to allocate some grain to Qiannan, and he planned to implement this matter in advance.
Several confidential ministers have no opinion on this matter.
After all, there is a war in southern Qiannan, and sending food at this time can also boost the morale of the army.
After consulting with several ministers, Emperor Mingde determined where to transfer grain from.
The decree was drawn up, and after passing through the various ministries, it was sent out of Kyoto.
"Wan Qing, can you still adapt to the prison hall?" After finishing his business, Emperor Mingde took a sip of tea on the small table and asked with a smile.
"Back to Your Majesty, General Ling Yu is all right in the prison hall, and on the day I went, the minister invited her to tea."
Suddenly asked, Wan Shangshu responded with a smile while carving words in his heart.
Drinking tea is not a big deal, but you still have to say it, otherwise it will be known later, and something may happen.
Wan Shangshu knew that His Majesty knew that he was standing on the side of the Third Prince.
"That kid doesn't know what tea is, I'm afraid your good tea is going to be wasted." Emperor Mingde laughed.
"The autumn hunt is coming, I am about to leave Beijing, and many things in Kyoto will have to work hard for Lu Qing and Xu Qing."
In this autumn hunt, Lu Shangshu of the War Department and Xu Shangshu of the Household Department will stay in Kyoto.
In addition to the affairs over there in Yuncheng, they have to screen the notes sent from all over the country one by one.
If it is urgent, he will quickly send someone to the hands of Emperor Mingde, if it is not important, he will wait for the holy car to return to Luan to deal with it.
"It's a blessing to be able to share your majesty's worries." Lu He hurriedly got up and spoke.
"Sit down, it's not in the main hall at this time, it's just gossip." Emperor Mingde waved his hand, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect that you would recommend Yan to return to the prison hall." ”
This matter is already a certainty, and Xie Yangui has even read a lot of documents in the prison hall.
thought it had been revealed, but Lu He didn't expect Emperor Mingde to suddenly mention it.
"When Your Majesty mentioned it, the minister began to think about it, there are many positions in the six departments, but there are very few suitable ones."
"At that time, General Xie mentioned that he wanted to come to the Ministry of War, but there was actually a suitable position, but the minister thought that it was better not to let the general come to the Ministry of War, and there were several suitable positions in the Ministry of Rites, but Jing Shangshu ......"
Lu He didn't say it too clearly, but everyone present knew what he meant, Jing Xiu couldn't help but snort coldly, and her attitude was very clear.
"The Ministry of Engineering is not very suitable for General Xie, the Ministry of Officials is the same as the Ministry of War, and the ministers think about it, and they fall into the Ministry of Punishment."
"There are a lot of trivial matters in the prison hall, although General Xie is a bit flamboyant and domineering, he is a responsible person, and he will definitely do a good job, so he won't have much time to give His Majesty any more problems."
"That's what the minister thought, so he recommended General Xie to go to the prison hall, if it is not appropriate, please ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."
