"Can the hundred sons and hundreds of grandchildren, the colored flower purse and the red gold carved lotus bracelet be given to the concubine?"

Hundreds of sons and grandchildren color flower purse is made of goose yellow brocade as the base, embroidered with various colors of silk thread dozens of children with different expressions, although the children are small, but the expression is vivid and interesting, some are fluttering butterflies, some are making water, after all, it is a palace purse, a needle and a thread are very solid. The colors are also bright.

The red gold carved lotus bracelet is hollowed out in the middle, and the hollow is inlaid with a sparkling pearl, and the red gold part of the carved lotus flower is like blooming in the water.

These two things are worth dozens of taels of silver. It's all under the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Du only said that he wanted to make a windfall, but he couldn't hold it down.

The emperor felt that something was wrong: "Du Chang is here, I haven't troubled you and Shi Jing about the matter of Ertiao, are you still worried about these things?" ”

"It doesn't have to be these two, the others are fine, just those two books, "The Domineering President Fell in Love with Me When He Lowered His Head",

"The arrogant young master chases his wife for thousands of miles, you go up and down", the concubine doesn't seem to have read it, and the emperor also knows that the night is long, it is better to reward these two books to the concubine, and the concubine must study it well. ”

"Actually, I wanted to reward you with something." The emperor picked up the purse and stuffed it into Du Zhiyan's arms, and without saying a word, he put the red gold carved lotus bracelet on Du Zhiyan's wrist.

There is no such vigorous emperor.

Very good.

The emperor has only one condition: "You are not allowed to talk about these two books." ”

Yes, yes, yes.

Don't say it.

Du Zhiyan reminded the emperor: "The palace is waiting for Xin'er, there must be a decision on the matter of Ertiao, how does the emperor plan to solve it?" ”

Du Zhiyan showed off the purse and bracelet under the lamp.

The purse means auspiciousness, and the bracelet is shining.

The emperor was helpless: "This matter is wrapped up in me." ”

When it was time to say goodbye the next day, Jingren Palace was still full.

Some said: "That eunuch was tortured in the Punishment Division for another day, but his mouth was hard, and he really didn't spit out a word." ”

Some said: "I heard that the Criminal Justice Division has sent the evidence to the emperor, our emperor is the wisest, and the emperor will definitely find out about this matter." That eunuch is an iron mouth, and he will also be pried open. ”

Tian Lingyue picked up a cup of chrysanthemum tea and tasted it carefully, the tea was fragrant, she was smeared with water-red rouge, and her thin eyebrows and eyes chuckled: "We are all people who abide by the rules, and I don't know who dares to violate the palace rules and collude with the eunuchs to steal the items in the palace, but it has ruined the reputation of the harem concubines, and their hearts can be punished." ”

Meng Yuzhu pinched her handkerchief: "This matter must be carefully investigated, and that person can be found out, so that the harem can live in peace, otherwise the gold and silver guys in the harem will not be sold by her outside the palace, and it will not look like it will be passed out." Who does the queen think is behind this? ”

Empress Jingren Palace yawned.

Because of the matter of Erjo, these concubines have been inviting Andu early and punctual recently.

It seems that he has made up his mind to eat this melon.

Especially Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue, jumping the happiest.

The first chrysanthemum banquet was held, and a bunch of scriptures have not been read, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, and the counting of the items in the palace, the arrangement of the sacrificial rites, and those ladies who have ordered the princess, they also need to make an appointment to see the reward, and the queen mother also needs to worry about it, the queen mother is old, the weather is cold, and the supply should be sufficient, if the queen mother has any needs, she must also serve diligently.

Everywhere is life, and when you open your eyes, there is a bunch of work.

It's easy to have a morning meeting, sit and eat fruit with everyone, and Meng Yuzhu is here again.

Every time Meng Yuzhu spoke, the queen had a sense of urgency to go to work, and her brain was buzzing. There is a good day to eat and drink, but it is a matter of time all day.

"Queen Mother, you are talking." Meng Yuzhu stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"This matter is inconvenient for this palace to deal with."

"The queen mother is the master of the harem, which concubine makes a mistake, it is the queen mother's mother, why does the queen mother not deal with this behind-the-scenes instigator now, is it to connive?"

As soon as Meng Yuzhu said this, everyone looked at Wei Guiren.

If the queen wants to connive, it must be conniving at Wei Guiren.

Wei Guiren is the queen's sister.

Could it be that this matter has anything to do with Wei Guiren

The queen said: "The palace has just received the letter, and I want to share it with my sisters, so the concubine came to ask, since this is the case, then I will say it together." The person who instructed Nijo was the emperor, so it was inconvenient for the palace to deal with it. ”

Meng Yuzhu stood up directly.

The person who instructed the two to carry things was the emperor? She didn't believe it a hundred.

But does the queen dare to frame the emperor? Of course not.

So this answer should be given by the emperor.

The emperor wants to protect Erjo?

Meng Yuzhu didn't dare to ask any more.

There is a faint agarwood lit in Jingren Palace.

On the long table was a gray-blue pot-bellied jar with a few sun-dried, yellowish wild chrysanthemums inserted into the bottle. The wanton indulgence of wild chrysanthemum, although it is dried, still maintains a proud attitude.

There are several hand-copied scriptures on the Bogu shelf.

On the left side of the main hall hangs a "Peach Blossom Spring" map, and on the right side hangs a "Ten Color Chrysanthemum Picture".

The queen sat with a stove in her hand, and her open clothes embroidered with brocade and white cranes were noble and dignified: "The emperor has already released two articles from the Department of Punishment, which is a misunderstanding." The purse and bracelet were made by the emperor and the people of the Internal Affairs Office as a reward for Du Chang's sleep. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the guards at the gate of the palace and made a fuss. ”

"Since the emperor asked Nijo to give it to Du Changzai, why was it held by the palace guards?"

Meng Yuzhu's question also makes sense.

After all, from Taihe Palace to Yongfu Palace, no matter how you walk, you can't go to the palace gate.

Shi Xiunu asked Nijo to send a letter home, and Nijo thought about sending the letter first and then coming back to deliver the bracelet. That's why it was held by the guards. ”

asked Du Zhiyan again: "Do you like the things that the emperor gave you?" ”

Du Zhiyan deliberately exposed the red gold bracelet on his wrist and the purse on his waist, and his words meant to show off the concubine: "Back to the queen's mother, this purse is exquisite, the bracelet is expensive, I like it very much." ”

Meng Yuzhu still didn't believe it: "As far as I know, the emperor hasn't summoned Niangniang for a long time, where did this news come from?" ”

The queen was embarrassed.

Hitting people doesn't slap them in the face.

The queen was not treated by the emperor, and she didn't see the emperor for ten days and half a month, and Meng Yuzhu poked the queen's heart with this.

The people who eat melons have a lot of discussions.

"It turns out that Erjo is doing things for the emperor, this is really a misunderstanding, no wonder he refused to confess when he was beaten in the Shen Criminal Division, who dares to confess to the emperor."

"The gang of people in the Criminal Justice Division are getting more and more outrageous, and even the emperor's people dare to try it."

Tian Lingyue and Meng Yuzhu had gloomy faces, their strategy failed, they lost their money, and they also lost a gold bracelet, which was really hard to say.

As soon as the morning meeting dispersed, the two of them went back to Changle Palace with the stove.

Du Zhiyan decided to kowtow to the emperor.

The emperor turned the tide, regardless of personal gains and losses, he just carried the matter of Ertiao, what a sentiment, what a righteousness, and reason, Du only said that he had to thank him.

When I came to the outside of the Taihe Palace, I heard the emperor and Gao Rang whispering.

"Your Majesty, this is not trivial, when the sacrifice is made, the Queen Mother is also present, and the Queen Mother will definitely ask, when the time comes, those people in Qin Tianjian will definitely say that it is not auspicious."

"I asked you to find a craftsman to fix it, did you find it?"

"When those craftsmen heard that it was the royal royal bow, they were first shocked, and ordinary people who have the ability to repair it, those craftsmen dare not take the job." Gorang sighed.

As soon as the emperor accidentally dropped the Yuru bow to the ground, the bow broke, and it was not easy to repair it.

If it is discovered by the Queen Mother, it must not be scolded out of Xiang.

Yu Rugong such an auspicious thing folded, Qin Tianjian had to pinch for half a month to find the reason, and in the end, Bao Buqi would say that it was because the emperor was not diligent and provoked God, this is a hint given by God.

The craftsmen in the palace also asked one by one, and no one could repair it.

"If anyone can fix it, I'd rather reward him with a gold ingot." The emperor also made a bloody investment.

Gao Rang was aggrieved by Bala: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen are all knowledgeable, and when they saw this bow, they were first frightened, and I was afraid that no one would dare to receive this ingot of gold." ”

A bar of gold.

Ten taels.

Du only said that he was walking in the palace and was very short of silver.

For example, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen celebrate their birthdays, and the concubines have to prepare congratulatory gifts.

For example, if you want to add something during the New Year's holidays, or add two dishes to the kitchen.

For example, give some rewards to the eunuchs and palace maids who serve them.

Wait a minute.

You can't do it without money.

When she was a show girl, there were few places to spend money.

As you move up in the ranks, you will have more places to dot and more places to need silver.

Her father supervised the imperial history Du Zhong as an honest official, went up to the emperor, and went down to a hundred officials, usually he didn't even have a fox friend and a dog friend, and he couldn't afford to marry a concubine, so he couldn't subsidize his own daughter.

You have to do everything on your own.

Obviously, I came to thank the emperor, but at this time, the heart of thanking was lightened, and the heart of making money became lively.

"Yo, why are you here?" Gao let his eyes be quick and hide the broken Yuru Bow behind him.

The emperor was like a frightened bird: "The Queen Mother is here?" ”

"It's Du Chang here."

"Then what are you panicking about?" The emperor sat back on the soft couch: "Tell her that you don't have to thank me, let her go back, I still have something to do." ”

Du Zhiyan knelt down and said: "The concubine is not here to thank you, the concubine is here to do business." ”

This answer made the emperor puzzled, and called Du Zhiyan in: "What's the matter?" ”

"Concubines are here to make money."

"What money do you make?"

"The ingot of gold."

"What gold?" The emperor deliberately concealed that the more people knew about the palace, the more people he was scolded by the queen mother, and before repairing the palace, the emperor didn't want to make any extraneous branches.

"The concubine knows that someone can repair the bow."

Joy appeared on the emperor's eyebrows, and the look in the emperor's eyes overflowed in an instant: "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you, the bow is broken, and the craftsman urgently needs to repair it, and you can't delay the sacrifice of the Taimiao Temple after ten days, you say that you know someone who can repair the Yuru bow?" Who can fix it? ”

"Concubine."

The emperor couldn't wait for Du to say more, but who expected it to be gone.

"Didn't you say you knew someone who could repair like a bow? Who can fix it? ”

"Concubine."

The emperor felt that he was being molested.

"Gao Jean, fork this woman out."

Du Zhiyan has only seen Yuru Bow once, how can she cultivate?

"The emperor listened to Du Changzai, in case she really knows how to cultivate." Gao Rang held the Yuru bow to Du Zhiyan to see, not that she believed that Du Zhiyan had the talent to repair the bow, but because he found no less than ten carpenters in the capital, all of them were good carpenters by word of mouth, but without exception, no one could repair it, and the palace and the palace were all asked, and the sacrifice was imminent, so the dead horse could only be regarded as a live horse doctor.

"Although I helped you and rescued the eunuch, I know that you have the heart to thank me, but Du Chang is here, and you can't work indiscriminately."

"Concubines are not indiscriminate."

"Why do you say you can repair the Imperial Bow?"

"With the excellent skills of the concubine."

"You have a lot of skills?" The emperor wondered, why hadn't he seen Du Zhiyan use it: "As far as your little skill, I don't know yet." ”

"The emperor has never seen the technology of concubines."

"Why haven't I seen it?"

Gao Rang had already blushed, took a step back and then retreated out of the door.

"What did Gao tell you to do?"

"Is the minion here?"

"Where do you want to go, you come back." The emperor's ears were red.

The emperor didn't believe that Du Zhiyan could repair the bow, but Du Zhiyan played a package ticket: "If it can't be repaired, the emperor can not give gold." ”

"What if it's broken?" The emperor was worried that Du would make three and two troubles, and if he broke up the Yuru Bow again, it would be even more impossible to end up at that time.

Du only said that he fought hard for that ingot of gold: "There are concubines, and they can only be repaired, not broken." ”

"You look like you're talking nonsense," the emperor held her wrist: "How many days is the construction period, and is ten days enough?" ”

Ten days is already the limit.

If it can't be fixed in ten days, it's time to be exposed.

"Three days." Du Zhiyan patted his chest.

As soon as he saw this nonsense, the emperor had no bottom in his heart, but there was no second choice.

Three days is three days.

In the past three days, Du Zhiyan was stationed in the side hall of Taihe Palace.

She made an agreement with the emperor that the side hall belonged to her, and she worked in it attentively, and no one else could disturb her.

The eunuch Ertiao who was released from the Shenxing Division, from now on will be the eunuch in charge of Du Zhiyan's side, his mouth is strict, and he is reliable, if Du Zhiyan has any needs in the past three days, let Ertiao pass it on.

Three days to repair the royal bow, time is pressing, the emperor also thought that Du Zhiyan would seize the day, light the lamp and boil the candle did not dare to have a trace of relaxation, did not want to go in the first day, Du Zhiyan asked Erjo to bring her a pot of fruit wine and a plate of sauce beef, a plate of uterine chicken, another plate of potpourri cake, when Erjo came out, the plate was cleaner than the face.

Before the first day was over, she asked Erjo to go in and bring her rice, and sent her a bowl of rice wine, rice balls, osmanthus soup, a plate of white chopped chicken, a plate of braised duck, and a box of bergamot gold rolls.

These dishes are all evenly distributed from the emperor's imperial meal, watching the plates and plates being sent into the side hall of Taihe Palace, although the emperor is silent, the eyes keep sweeping into the room.

"Du Changzai, are you a pig, you can eat more than me."

"This woman designated that she came to Taihe Palace to eat and drink, and I even believed that she could repair the imperial bow."

After a while, I felt that there was no sound in the side hall.

Du Zhiyan drank too much fruit wine and fell asleep.

The emperor kept walking around the Taihe Palace, and the golden bell rang again.

At night, Du Zhiyan held the Yuru bow and looked at it carefully.

In the past, I only knew the colorful brilliance, but when I saw the royal bow, I knew that black also had brilliance.

The black is dazzling, shining, such a cold and dazzling black, like a rattlesnake, shocking people's souls.

This heavy weight, the treasure that was once held in the palm of the hand by the emperors of all dynasties, the weapon that wrote the history of the Chen Kingdom, is now lying quietly on her hand.

It was like a badly wounded warrior who had spent his life fighting on the battlefield, and now it was a bit desolate with its bones.

At this moment, Du only wanted to fix it.
