The two returned to the familiar courtyard, Yun'er ran to the wing room on the left and turned over the cabinets, took a scroll out and ran back to the house, hung it before the house collapsed, and after unfolding the picture, Liu Jie was immediately attracted by the characters in the picture.

What kind of beauty is this? For a while, Liu Jie didn't have any words to describe the person in front of him, bright as a spring flower, as bright as an autumn moon, light eyebrows like autumn water, jade-skin with a light breeze, there seemed to be a trace of sadness between the eyebrows, this is just a character in the painting, it is really hard to imagine how a real person should be rich, Liu Jie was a little stunned for a while.

Yun'er's tone trembled a little and said, "Son, your mother is the lady of the country, Zhao Ji, the lady was originally the princess of the Yue Kingdom, fourteen years ago, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the Yue Prince Sheng was killed, and the princess was taken captive to the Jin Kingdom to be dedicated to today's son." ”

"At that time, the saint saw the crown princess for a while, and Mrs. soon got the emperor's favor, in fact, although Mrs. was in the Jin court, her heart always belonged to the Yue country, especially Mrs. never forgot the Yue prince Sheng, who was in the enemy country, but he was the enemy of the country, and he had to be committed to serving the Lord, which was sad and suffering."

Yun'er paused in her tone and said, "The reason why Madame endured the humiliation is because she was pregnant with the flesh and blood of Prince Yue Sheng at that time, that is, Gongzi, your own sister, the current Princess Qinghe, Madame gave birth to Gongzi you ten years ago, and Madame died of a serious illness three years ago......"

Liu Jiexin said that "my sister" is actually a half-mother? I really didn't expect it......

Speaking of this, Yun'er couldn't stop crying

Seeing this, Liu Jie had no choice but to step forward and hug her and comfort her with kind words.

Yun'er leaned on his shoulder, it seemed that in this deceitful deep palace, except for the immortal Mrs. Guo, the ten-year-old child in front of her was her only reliance in the palace......

looked at the beauty Liu Jie in the portrait and was in awe, how could a weak woman afford the hatred of the country and the family?

is able to endure humiliation and burden because his children are here, and they have to be committed to serving the Lord, and mothers have been the greatest since ancient times.

Yun'er said, "Childe, Princess Qinghe is not the flesh and blood of today's saint, the truth that the slave and maid accidentally learned when sorting out the relics of the lady, I hope that the princess must strictly keep the secret......"

Of course, Liu Jie knows the seriousness of this matter, since ancient times, how can the emperor's family affairs tolerate foreign blood?

The royal lineage not only represents honor and glory, but also guarantees the succession to supreme royal power.

You don't see that the uprising war at the end of Qin can pull up a team just by virtue of the name of Gongzi Fusu, and the name of the person and the shadow of the tree cannot be underestimated.

It is no wonder that Qin II Hu Hai cut off his half-brothers and sisters when he came to power, on the one hand, it was not right, on the other hand, the lord Shaoguo was suspected of having no prestige, and it was also to eliminate potential competitors.

From ancient times to the present, the battle for the throne has been so cruel and ruthless, just like the chicken game, only one survivor can run into the finals, and the rest are cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, Liu Jie couldn't help but shudder, it seems that the pension insurance he drew is not insured, and it is not good to make an inexplicable accident one day, and the policy was torn up from the sky and turned into cannon fodder.

Ay! Bitter life...... I only hate to be born in the emperor's family!

Yun'er cried for a while, and said in a choked tone, "Madame is a very good person, the slave maid entered the palace at the age of six, and the lady saw that the slave maid was lonely and helpless, and she was a fellow countryman, so she became the master and became the personal maid of the lady, and the master and servant actually regarded it as her own, I have no mother since I was a child, and Mrs. is the second mother of the slave in my heart......"

At this time, the guards outside the door came to report, "Gongzi, the chief of the inner warden, Gonggong Lu has arrived." ”

Liu Jie said: "I know. ”

Yun'er cleaned up her mood for a while, leaned over and whispered, "Childe, Gonggong Lu is the chief of the inner chamberlain, and he has been serving His Majesty for more than 30 years. ”

When Liu Jie heard this, he hurriedly came to the door to greet Gonggong Lu in person, so that the close ministers around the emperor must not be taken lightly, although the position is humble and powerful, although there is no actual power on the surface, but it can play a big role at a critical moment.

If you really want to commit a crime, you can save your life if you don't do it with a casual and fluttering kind word.

Therefore, the drivers, cooks, nannies, etc., don't underestimate these people, they are generally people who have been tested and absolutely trustworthy for a long time to do this, and they are the people around the leader, and they are all the objects that need to be stammered, and no matter how bad they are, they have to brush up a good popularity.

Don't think that your status in the unit seems to be higher than others, and you will say that you look down on others, then you will be really stupid.

Gonggong Lu was also a little surprised to see Gongzi Sheng actually go out to greet him in person, usually Yun'er can go to the docking, but it is not the turn of Gongzi himself to come out to greet him, after all, the identity of the prince is there, which makes Gonggong Lu a little flattered.

Lu Liang hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "The son's illness has not recovered, how dare the old slave work for you, it is really torturous to the old slave, it is really His Majesty who instructed the old slave to come to the office, and the son does not have to be like this." ”

Liu Jie said with a smile: "Where is the manager, my father-in-law has worked hard for His Majesty for many years, and my father is now in good health, my father-in-law, you are the first meritorious, for the sake of my father-in-law, you are also worthy of my son-in-law to go out to greet him." ”

Lu Liang was instantly shocked and a little speechless, this is what a ten-year-old doll can say? Didn't this Gongzi Sheng get into the water in his brain after he got a serious illness?

This is also too abnormal, as the saying goes, you don't wear a thousand sycophants, Gongzi Sheng's small mouth is really useful.

Lu Liang smiled and said, "Childe praises, it is the duty of the old slave to serve today's saint, I really can't afford to be so praised by the son, you see, this is the temple person selected by the old slave for you, and the body is strong, and these four maids are also specially selected to serve the son's daily life." ”

Lu Liang pointed to the four temples and the four maids behind him and asked him to choose.

In the pre-Qin era, there was no eunuch, and it was generally called a temple person.

Lu Liang said, "If the prince is right, he will accept them, if he is not satisfied, the old slave will choose the palace man tomorrow and let the prince palm the eye." ”

Liu Jie raised his eyes and looked at the palace people standing behind Chief Manager Lu a few times, and arched his hand: "Yes, Gonggong Lao, you bother, since it is a candidate personally selected by Gonggong Lu, it must be one in a hundred in this palace, so naturally I don't have to say anything, I will accept it all." ”

Lu Liang smiled when he heard this, "The old slave is relieved, the old slave will carefully return what he heard today to His Majesty, ask the son to go back to the house to rest, and the old slave will retire." ”

Lu Liang said that, then took a few steps back and turned to leave.

Liu Jie pondered in his heart for a moment Father-in-law Lu's sentence of "carefully replying" and smiled, this old fritter is a bit interesting, and this dragon fart is still indirectly shot in place.

After all, he is so polite to eunuchs as a dignified son, this is still very good for Gonggong Lu, and it is not a pleasant thing to say a few good words to Emperor Laozi.

He has been a middle-level cadre in the enterprise for so many years, and he doesn't even know this basic operation, so the workplace for more than ten years is in vain.

Yun'er was puzzled, "Childe, although Manager Lu has a special status in the palace, there is no need to be so appreciative, although he has been with the saint for many years, it is not necessary to be as a son." ”

Liu Jie smiled and looked at Yun'er, a simple girl with three heads older than him, and said, "You are still young, you don't understand." ”

With that, he turned around and went back to his house.

Yun'er heard the words and her head was full of black lines, looking at Liu Jie's short back and walking away, muttering, "Am I small?" ”

Then he muttered a few words to himself, stomped his feet and said, "Where am I small......

Yun'er turned her head to several temple people and palace maids and ordered, "My name is Zeng Yun, you all come in, except for Gongzi in the future, all the big and small affairs here will be arranged by me, do you understand?" ”

Several temple people and palace maids saluted in unison, "Miss Yun, the slave and maid understand!" ”

Bushou Palace

In the study of Emperor Jin, Gonggong Lu walked quickly past one attendant after another with a small broken step, he stepped forward and bowed down, only to see a majestic man who looked to be in his fifties sitting behind the imperial case in front of him, with an extraordinary bearing and full of majesty, and next to him sat Shaofu Zhao Shu, who seemed to be bowing to this man and reporting this.

Gonggong Lu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave has something to come back to." ”

The majestic man didn't raise his head, his eyes were still staring at the music in front of him, and he said, "Lu Liang, how is Sheng'er's body recovering?"

"Your Majesty, the old slave personally selected four temple people, and the four people from the palace were sent to Gongzi Sheng's bedroom, the old slave saw that Gongzi had a ruddy face, and walked in the courtyard, thinking that his body was fine, and Gongzi Sheng also said that he missed His Majesty very much, and begged the old slave to return to the ......palace on his behalf."

The emperor sighed with emotion, "Well, Sheng'er has really grown up, and she is quite benevolent and filial." ”

The emperor turned his head to Zhao Shu and said, "It seems that you are very attentive to Sheng'er's teaching on weekdays!" ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly said modestly, "Your Majesty, this is what Weichen should do as a teacher." ”

He was quite puzzled in his heart, this kid usually relies on His Majesty's favor, and he is very lawless, but after he recovered from his illness this time, he actually changed his sex? I didn't think much about it at the moment.

The emperor asked, "Zhao Shu, how is the progress of the construction of the Qishan Taiji Palace?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Taiji Palace will be capped and completed that month."

"Okay, next month, you and Zhang Xianshi will choose a good day and an auspicious day to hold a palace relocation ceremony, and I will go to Taiji Palace to practice, and in the future, the courtiers and princes will come to Taiji Palace to report if they have important matters."

With that, the emperor took a delicate small box on the table, took out a red pill and swallowed it in his mouth, and closed his eyes tightly......

After a while, he opened his eyes and seemed to feel much better.

The emperor sighed and said to Zhao Shu, "Since I toured Beijing in the east last year, my body has often felt unwell, and I am quite unable to deal with government affairs, but fortunately, the divine pill refined by Zhang Xianshi is refreshing, and after eating, it is like ten years younger. ”

"Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, although Zhang Xianshi's medicine does have a miraculous effect, Wei Chen feels that after all, it is a three-point poison, and I hope that Your Majesty cherishes the dragon body and controls it, Your Majesty ......"

"Okay, I know my body best, you can stand down."

Although the expression on Emperor Jin's face was a little impatient, his tone was quite gentle, although Zhao Shu's words were persuasion, he actually cared, and the celebrities who accompanied the emperor like a tiger and could be the emperor's close ministers were not ordinary people.

"Weichen and Zhang Xianshi will definitely do their best to hold the palace transfer ceremony, and Weichen will retire."

Zhao Shu bowed and left the seat, took a few steps back and exited the hall.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and said to Gong Lu, who was waiting beside him, "Pass the decree and summon Cui Yan to the palace for deliberations." ”

"The old slave will go and pass the decree."

Lu Liang was ordered to bow down and exit the main hall......

Zhao Shu walked out of the palace and remembered the emperor's words, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that this is to hand over power to the crown prince in advance, it seems that since the seventh eastern tour, His Majesty's health is indeed worse day by day, and he has to make plans early...

Zhao Shu walked to the outside of the palace gate and got into his carriage and said, "Go home." ”

Halfway through the carriage, Zhao Shu opened the curtain and saw that it was Cui Xiangguo's carriage on the way to the palace, and Zhao Shu put down the curtain thoughtfully......

In the living room of Zhao's mansion, Zhao Shu paced back and forth, thought for a long time, called his cronies, took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to him, and said, "Hurry up and send the token to the Qiushui Villa in Yue County and hand it over to the owner of the village in person. ”

The cronies took the token and turned to leave......
