"Yuguan is back."

Cheng Yuguan returned to Fengyi Palace, but found that the queen had not rested yet, as if she was waiting for her.

Cheng Yuguan entered the queen's bedroom, the empty hall of the dormitory, there was no brightness of the horse street, but it was very quiet, Cheng Yuguan walked into the dormitory and unconsciously lowered his voice.

"Niangniang hasn't rested yet?"

The queen got up from the couch, put a small sheepskin lamp on top of her head for reading, put the book on the original position of the sheepskin lamp, and beckoned Cheng Yu to pass over.

Cheng Yuguan approached the queen and sat down next to the queen.

On the queen's body, there is a light fragrance, which is fresher than flowers and softer than agarwood.

"How about having fun on Mahang Street today?"

The queen took Cheng Yuguan's hand and asked with a smile.

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "Thanks to the fourth brother, I took the courtiers to see the authentic Mahang Street, if I went by myself, I might be dizzy." ”

On Mahang Street, today Li Mian took himself to the authentic old store, and there are also many people elsewhere, who came to spend a lot of money to open a new store. Without the fourth prince Li Mian to lead the way, Cheng Yuguan is afraid that he will have to live in the capital for a while longer, and try to Mahang Street a few more times, so that he can have a good time today and have a thorough experience without detours.

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan had no mustard appearance, the queen couldn't help but put away the broken hair on her forehead for the girl in front of her, "Your fourth brother was very proud in the past, and he never took others to go shopping. He treats you differently than anyone else. ”

The queen's tone was soft, but Cheng Yuguan hurriedly waved her hand, "It should be that the fourth prince is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and seeing that I didn't have my relatives to take me to Mahang Street, he deliberately made time to take care of me." I also think in my heart that the fourth brother is good, and I will definitely repay him if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Cheng Yuguan's seriousness amused the queen, but the queen's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she patted Cheng Yuguan's hand, "Slippery head, I'll tell you about family affairs, you want to talk about family affection." Well, my aunt knows that you are still young and have no mind for this. ”

The queen said, shaking her head, "Don't talk about that, let's get down to business, someone outside the palace handed over the fold today, it was Cheng Liuchuan, the head of the Cheng family. ”

Cheng Yuguan almost jumped up in surprise, "Uncle is here?" That's great. Auntie, when will you meet with your uncle to discuss my succession? ”

Cheng Yuguan said impatiently.

Cheng Yuguan is not a person who can compromise and seek perfection.

Not in Chenghou's Mansion, and even more so in the palace.

These days, Cheng Yuguan has lived a clean life in Fengyi Palace. The queen values her, and the palace people are not unhappy with her.

But after all, this is the palace, there are rules and regulations and all kinds of people, so Cheng Yuguan has never been able to live here as at home.

So now that the uncle can come over, she can't wait to get the matter done, so that she can get out of the palace, even if she buys a small mansion by herself, it is also her own home.

In her own home, she can lie down as she wants, lie down as she wants, and don't care about any rules.

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan's eyes lit up, the queen couldn't help but quip, "Little conscienceless, you can't wait to leave Fengyi Palace and leave your aunt?" ”

Cheng Yuguan was stunned, and lowered his head with a smile.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's reaction, the queen looked at the immature face of the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but have some reminiscences.

"You can't get used to living in the palace, and you should be. When my aunt entered the palace at the beginning of the year, she was always breathing, not daring to take one more step, nor daring to live wantonly. This life is not on the stage, always holding it, a day or two is fine, but after a long time, it is inevitable to feel tired. ”

The queen talked about her mood back then, and Cheng Yuguan also agreed very much.

"There are too many people in this palace, it's okay in Fengyi Palace, once there are outsiders, the nerves of the courtiers will always be tense."

The queen stroked Cheng Yuguan's long hair draped behind her, "I understand." ”

A gentle sigh seems to contain a thousand words.

Cheng Yuguan didn't know how to explain the queen's mother, so he had to try to ask, "When did that aunt feel more comfortable in the palace?" ”

When the queen heard this, she smiled, as if she thought of something beautiful.

"When I was pregnant with my child. At that time, I suddenly felt that I should be strong, after all, there were children who needed my protection. ”

Speaking of this, the queen looked at Cheng Yuguan, "At that time, I was pregnant with Mian'er, and I was always nervous and uneasy, your mother was already married, but she left Cheng Hou's Mansion and spent my most helpless time with me, and it was also at that time that I understood that in a lifetime, how many true friends can get along with each other at ease and get help at critical moments?" It was also at that time that we fell asleep and made a marriage contract. ”

Speaking of the marriage contract again, seeing that Cheng Yuguan was anxious, the queen hurriedly stopped her.

"Yuguan don't worry, I know what you mean, in fact, I also feel in my heart that you are not suitable for this deep palace. You look quiet and easy-going, but in fact, you have the most ideas in your heart. My aunt has lived for so many years and has seen so many people in the palace, how can she not understand you. You have things you want to do, goals you want to accomplish, and you are more determined than your mother and I did. The Hou Mansion and the Imperial Palace will only imprison you, so you can't wait to get out of the deep palace and do what you want to do, right? ”

Cheng Yuguan didn't expect that the person who knew him best was an elder who he respected and stayed away.

Thinking of these days, he respects himself on the surface and is alienated in his heart, and Cheng Yuguan is a little ashamed.

"My aunt understands me and respects my ideas, but I think I'm smart and alienate my aunt..."

The queen shook her head, "Let's not talk about that. In my life, I only have one best friend, your mother Sujun, and you are Sujun's daughter, which is equivalent to my daughter. Between mother and daughter, there is not so much equality and consideration, even Mian'er, and she will not tell me anything about her heart since she was a child. I'm already glad you can count on me. ”

When it was said to his heart, Cheng Yuguan felt that his heart was soft. She unconsciously knelt on the queen's knees and said the thoughts she had never confided in her heart.

"Since I was a child, I grew up with my grandmother, who respected me, but was not close to me. I understood that she was complaining about my mother's early death. I don't blame her. There is also the patriarch uncle. The uncle's family originally wanted to keep a distance from me and my grandmother's family, but then I followed my uncle and cousins to learn martial arts and study with my dead face, and my uncle's family was kind and upright by nature, so they gradually accepted me. The people of Chengjia Village, like the eldest uncle, are upright and kind, they practice martial arts every day in accordance with the rules of the clan, and do not let the skills left by their ancestors be lost, but the consumption of martial arts is huge, and no one in the clan is good at management, so life is difficult. I am not a person who is not born to keep to myself, so I volunteered to help my eldest uncle find a way out for Chengjia Village, and finally achieved some results. ”

Speaking of the proud things he has done over the years, Cheng Yuguan got up from the queen's knees, and looked at the queen with bright eyes, "Near Chengjia Village, there is a stonemason, his family is an ancestral ability, I will take him, starting from Chengjia Village, looking for stone within a radius of ten miles, and climbing over the mountain, there are not one hundred but eighty, and finally let me find a stone, which is suitable for making cornerstones, and can also do decorative carving." There is nothing else in Chengjia Village, they are all people who practice martial arts, and some have strength. So I took the clan to open the mountain and quarry, not only took care of food and clothing, and gradually invented the mountain weapon, and found talents, burned brick kiln to make landscape stone, to this day, the Cheng family is already the largest stone merchant in Cangzhou Prefecture, but this is not enough, I want to take the clansmen to become the largest stone merchant in Daqian, the foreman! ”

Cheng Yuguan's proudest thing in the past ten years is to lead a group of martial artists to be stone merchants, and then gradually transition to the contractor. In all the gardens and courtyards, as long as she was building houses and roads, she had to take her clansmen over to get involved.

Not to mention, with the armed foundation of the people in Chengjia Village, and the high-quality stone quarried by her stonemasons, the road of the contractor in Chengjia Village has developed more and more smoothly, and now, it has become famous in the entire northland.

The people in the capital who don't know what to do look down on Chengjia Village, but she can't give it up.

As she told the fourth prince, the patriarch and the three cousins are not good at management, so she wants to carry forward her contract foreman business.

That's what she wants to do most at the moment.

The books in the palace are complete, and she has read the local chronicles and stone records of these days, and has already thought about where to go next. Just wait for her to get out of the palace, and she will be able to show her strength!

Cheng Yuguan's eyes sparkled when she talked about her lofty goals, which was a look that she couldn't see in her usual taciturn state.

The queen knew that Cheng Yuguan really wanted to do this.

This is the first time that a "mother and daughter" have a heart-to-heart relationship, Cheng Yuguan confessed to others for the first time, confiding in her thoughts, and the queen also felt heartwarming, her deceased's daughter is really different.

From Chengjia Village, which has nothing, to playing its own piece of the sky.

It would be nice if she and Su Jun didn't get married back then, but did what they wanted to do.

For a while, Wei Huiqing seemed to put the regrets of her and Huo Sujun's lives on Cheng Yuguan, and asked her to complete a completely different life for her two sisters.

Holding Cheng Yuguan's hand, a glimmer of brilliance appeared on the queen's always peaceful face, and her eyes were also shining, "Yuguan has ability and great ambitions, and my aunt naturally wants to support you." Don't worry, tomorrow my aunt will summon Patriarch Cheng with Her Majesty. I will let you go out as soon as possible and do what you want to do! ”

…

"Your Highness, the mother has not rested yet, if you have something, the slave can go in and report to you."

Outside the dormitory, Mei Qing saw the four princes standing at the door, not moving for a long time, and couldn't help but step forward and remind softly.

Li Mian waved his hand, "Let the queen mother rest earlier, don't tell the queen mother that I have been here." ”

After speaking, Li Mian strode away to the side.

Mei Qing was a little puzzled, "Could it be that I heard Miss Cheng's voice and took into account that there were outsiders present, so the fourth prince left temporarily?" ”

I don't understand why the four princes gave up halfway and didn't enter the palace, Mei Qing shook her head and left.

…

A good night's dream, and the next day, facing the queen mother who had a long talk yesterday, Cheng Yu was a little shy and a little close to her concern.

"Come here, Yuguan'er, aunt dress you up well, after all, you want to see Patriarch Cheng, if Patriarch Cheng misunderstands that Patriarch Cheng didn't take care of you and makes people worry, it won't be good."

Seeing that the queen was open-minded, Cheng Yuguan also smiled, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and let the queen dress herself.

Mei Qing and Mei Ling came to the dormitory to serve closely, and when they saw that the two were closer than before, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

The two don't quite understand, why just one night has passed, and the two who were a little polite and rusty in the past suddenly became intimate? There is a feeling that no one else can plug in, as if the two have a common little secret.

After dressing up, after breakfast, Cheng Yuguan accompanied the queen to deal with palace affairs as usual.

"Niangniang, the Shang Food Bureau buys fresh melons, fruits and vegetables every day, in order to avoid shortages, it will always buy more, rather than more, so the daily expenditure account is not as clear and clear as the Shang Pharmacy, and it is unavoidable."

In the palace at all times, there is a competition for strengths and weaknesses. There are many people with mixed mouths, and if one is not handled well, it will be exposed by others like now.

A lord of Shanggong, the accounts are not clear, this is the biggest trick, if you don't deal with it well, you will end up in prison.

The queen mother still had gentle eyebrows when she heard it, as if the fight between the people below her was commonplace, and she was not surprised.

Cheng Yuguan sat on the side and listened to the lawsuit between the two Shang Palaces, and couldn't help but feel tired for the queen.

This kind of battle that kills people at every turn is staged in the palace all the time, no wonder even the queen mother has to take a long time to adapt to life in the palace.

In the past, Mile Yuguan was just an onlooker, but this time, the queen mother suddenly asked Cheng Yuguan's opinion.

"Yuguan, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Cheng Yuguan tightly.

Especially the two Shang Palaces, this is a major event involving corruption and accounts after all.

Cheng Yuguan no longer hid his clumsy and answered seriously.

"Niangniang, the courtiers believe that although the Shangshi Bureau is not rigorous, it is not guilty to death. You can ask Shang Yao to supervise the accounts of Shang Yao Bureau, relatively, Shang Shi Bureau also has the right to check the accounts of Shang Yao Bureau once a month, since the two Shang Gong do not trust each other, then they will be dealt with, maybe, after the two Shang Gong, they can find a more convenient and feasible way. ”

Listening to Miss Cheng's thoughtful answers, the female officials in the palace couldn't help but look at each other.

Is there something going on that they don't know about? Why is there such a sudden change?

Moreover, on weekdays, when I saw that Miss Cheng looked ignorant, I thought she was still a child who couldn't understand. Listening to Miss Cheng's mouth today, she pointed to the key point with one mouth, not only did not put people to death, but also put an end to possible corruption and malfeasance, and spoke clearly, everyone couldn't help but wonder, where is this the rumored wild girl from the countryside, the noble girl who was carefully taught, is nothing more than that?

The queen nodded when she heard this, "Do what Yuguan said first, the two Shang Palaces will supervise each other for half a year, and if there is a better way later, then report to the palace to know." Step aside. ”

Several Shang Palaces retreated, and the queen got up, "Let's go, go to the front hall." Your patriarch and uncle should have arrived. ”
