Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Even though she couldn't return the gift, she still felt a little warmth.

Fang Yuanzhi put the piccolo on the bedside table, and fell asleep with a heavy heart.

She had a dream.

In the dream, she and Xu Chun embraced each other, and Xu Chun told her that he would marry her soon, but she didn't believe it.

In another scene, she searched and called everywhere, but Xu Chun disappeared, as if she didn't exist in this world.

When I woke up, it was still dark, and the corners of my eyes were full of tears.

Fang Yuanzhi turned over, but didn't notice that the piccolo by the bed was gone.

……

In the bedroom of the main hall of Renshou Palace, Nanny Chen was having a long talk with Empress Dowager Qian all night long.

Nanny Chen slept on the footrest, chatting with Empress Dowager Qian who was lying on the bed.

"You mean, the word 'imperial system' on that piccolo? Was it made by the emperor himself?" Empress Dowager Qian's voice was soft, but with some unbelievable meaning.

"Yes. At present, it seems that the emperor's thoughts on this girl Yuanzhi are unusual."

Empress Dowager Qian sneered: "It's not just unusual, it's almost as good as Wan Zhen'er back then! But so what? Wan Zhen'er was left cold by him for a year, and I'm afraid it won't be a good day in the future. Men are like this , When the heart is hot, I can't wait to take out my heart and lungs. When the heat passes, that's it."

After talking about it, I felt a little sighed.

"Then should we bring this Miss Fang over?" Mother Chen's question was more down-to-earth.

Empress Dowager Qian said nothing, frowning in thought.

"To try her mind today, she's shallow-minded. She can't hold her breath after a few words. She's the same as that deposed empress Wu. I'm afraid I won't be able to go too far in this harem even if I try to win her over."

"That's right. She has lost her innocence. It is very difficult for her to serve in the palace, and she will not be able to secure a high position." Nanny Chen echoed.

These words gave Empress Dowager Qian a flash of light: "This is a good thing! If a prince is born and the birth mother's status is low, the prince will have to be raised by someone else."

Empress Dowager Qian raised her head and looked at Nanny Chen with piercing eyes.

Nanny Chen sat up with a smile and said, "Yes. King De is the queen of the feudal clan, and he is much less filial to his mother. Especially after the death of his biological mother, Concubine Wan Chen, on this New Year's Eve, he did not send a servant back New Year's greetings for the empress. I'm afraid I have a bit of resentment towards the empress."

Empress Dowager Qian lay down again, looking at the curtain above her head with vacant eyes, as if she was recalling the past: "The emperor's brother ascended the throne, and the hidden danger is too great. It is far less appropriate than the emperor's ascending the throne. Emperor Jingtai struggled for six or seven years, but in the end he still harbored hatred And finally, King De is also afraid."

Not only King De is afraid, but Eunuch Liu is also afraid.Mother Chen thought of Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor.

Mother Chen's voice was much lower: "Eunuch Liu's health is getting worse and worse. It is said that he often rolls on the bed in pain recently. The imperial doctors are helpless, and I'm afraid there are not many days left."

Empress Dowager Qian sighed a long time: "He is also 77 this year, and there are not many good days left. Before the Empress Dowager passed away, she made Eunuch Liu kneel down in front of her bed and swear allegiance to me for life. The mourning family these years Being able to secure the right position in the Central Palace and the throne of the Empress Dowager is also due to Eunuch Liu."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was not in a good mood, Mother Chen quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Eunuch Liu's life is worthwhile. He has served six emperors, and his authority has become more and more important. He is no different from the Three Treasures eunuch of Emperor Yongle."

Empress Dowager Qian said with a smile: "The most rare thing is that they are not greedy for power, unlike that of the Sun family. They are getting older, but their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. They always want their Sun family to be prosperous forever."

Nanny Chen didn't speak.

Empress Dowager Qian paused, and said, "Let my sister come to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Grandma Chen answered yes.

……

Zhu Jianshen in Wenhua Palace also stayed up almost all night.

The strange look on Qin Ji's face made him a little upset.

After returning from Jiangnan, he hardly thought about Fang Yuanzhi.He felt that she and himself were people from two worlds.

She belongs to the south of the Yangtze River where the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The flowing water is gurgling, and the awning boat is lightly paddling. It is fragrant alone.

She will marry a man she loves, love and live with all her heart.

Live a plain and fulfilling life that you envy and yearn for.

I was groping forward in the darkness, borrowing the source of living water she said to wade out a way out, cautiously and tremblingly.

In the past year, he has made great achievements in the transformation of the Yumajian.

Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the Yumajian, quickly understood his intentions and asked to resign several times.

I only regarded him as being polite and never allowed it.In August last year, Liu Yongcheng handed over all the properties, salaries, attendants, etc. that were rewarded by the court. Only then did he allow him to resign and rewarded him with a lot of property.

At present, two of Tengxiang's four guards have just been remodeled, which has greatly increased Zhu Jianshen's confidence and made him feel much more secure.

Above the court, the Jiangnan faction lived up to their trust, and the reform of the Ministry of War was in place. The merchants did a good job, and they threw out the lead of the shortcomings of the salt government a few years ago.

The flames seemed to start from the guards and the Ministry of War, but in the end it was going to reach the Ministry of Households.

Ma Ang, Minister of the Household Department, the core money bag of the relative party, should be able to be taken down this year.

With Liu Yongcheng's silent support, he can let the civil servants go free.

It's just that he would be empty and lonely in his spare time when he was extremely busy.

He dared not even touch the queens and concubines in the harem.Avoid it as much as possible.

He could only tease the frog that was kept in the glazed room.

Since visiting Uncle Jingyuan's mansion in November, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the familiar figure in white from behind the curtain of the carriage, and heard Mao Wen's narration, a part of his heart suddenly came alive.

He dug out the piece of piccolo that had been put away, and made an almost identical one by himself in his spare time.

After finishing, he didn't think much about it, it was just a means to kill his spare time.

But after meeting Fang Yuanzhi on the day of Li Xiange's old death, he was not calm anymore.

He felt that he needed to do something to give her some support when she was lonely and fragile.

He asked people to find out all the news about her, from her birth to her relationship with that Miaoman husband, and everything about Xu Chun.

The news of his return made him feel a little complicated.

Her reputation was ruined, and she offended the Huichang Marquis, but the Xu family ignored her and cut off contact.

Under his indirect instruction, the British government went to Fang's family to propose a marriage, but the married person was a man who had suffered from tuberculosis for many years and could not live for a few years.

He felt wronged for her, felt sorry for her.

Such a beautiful woman, even though she is physically and mentally traumatized, is still optimistic and strong, why does no one know how to cherish it?
On New Year's Eve, after attending the palace banquet, he returned to the Wenhua Palace alone.

There was no one to reunite on the special festival when they were supposed to be reunited.

He was bored, so he still took out the piccolo and played "Three Folds of Yangguan" slowly.

After playing a song, he rubbed it over and over again, but he didn't consider whether to give away the newly made piccolo.
