Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 612 Eavesdropping
"Your Majesty... the emperor usually won't see you!" Shuyi hastily reminded her loudly.

"I'll see you later." Ning Chuge had a weird smile on his face, and quickly went to the main hall.

For many days after that, the emperor was very annoying to Ningchuge. This woman... seemed to be completely attached to him, waiting for him outside the palace every morning, waiting for him outside his study, and kept going. Standing is a day, except for the time to go back to eat, it continues to appear again.

At first, she was standing and waiting, but later someone brought a stool, and she sat outside and waited.

The emperor was really annoying, and sometimes he would summon her and tell her not to come again, but she still went her own way, as if she wanted the emperor to hate her even more.

But... Ning Chuge, who was so poor at the beginning that he couldn't even make summer clothes by himself, slowly bulged up his purse. Not only did he fill in some new clothes, but he also changed some of the pearls and hairpins on his head.

She even asked people to send money back to her natal family directly. It wasn't her mother-in-law who asked for it, but she took the initiative to send it back.

On the [-]th of June, Yaruo took Su Yuguo to go shopping in the capital, and met Ning Chuge's mother-in-law, a pretty woman who still had a charm.

At first, Ya Ruo didn't recognize her, until the woman showed off to the treasurer who sold pearls and hairpin jewelry, saying that her daughter was a noble concubine in the palace or something, who was accompanying Su Yuguo to choose Ya Ruo, and then she turned her head. Glanced at her.

"Shopkeeper, bring out all your best pearls and hairpins to my wife." Ning Chuge's mother-in-law said loudly, her face full of satisfaction.

"Second madam, we have a lot of good pearl and hairpin jewelry in our store, but... I wonder if the second madam likes red treasures or jadeite?" The shopkeeper hurriedly approached and asked.

Originally, she was just a concubine, and she couldn't be called "Madame" at all, but because Ning Chuge became a noble concubine, she also rose with the tide, and now...everyone in Dong E's mansion called her that. The same is true of people.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the second lady smiled and said, "Let's take a look."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper gave her a surprised look. This lady... just came to see her every time, and let him wait on her like an aunt. Look at this way, try that way, and in the end nothing will happen. He was a little scared to buy it.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Do you think that this lady only looks at people and doesn't buy them? Are you really looking down on people? You don't even look at what this is." After the second lady finished speaking, she took out a stack of bank notes, fearing that there might be someone there. Two 3000 taels.

"Madam got rich!" The shopkeeper immediately said respectfully with a smile on his face.

"It's not about getting rich, it's the imperial concubine's filial piety." The second lady said with some pride.

"It seems that the imperial concubine is quite favored by His Majesty." The shopkeeper said enviously.

"That's natural, our imperial concubine, she is the emperor's favorite person." The second lady said this, seeing Yaruo and Su Yuguo looking at her, she smiled and said: "What are the two little girls looking at?" ? You are still young, so you can’t be envious.”

Ya Ruo couldn't help curling her lips when she heard the words, and directly dragged Su Yuguo to pay, and then left.

Ning Chuge's mother, although she only met her once from a distance, she looked at the submissive, smiling face in front of the court ladies and eunuchs in the palace, she didn't expect it to be like this outside the palace, it really is A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

But... a few days ago, she heard Concubine Jing and the others say that Ning Chuge was very poor, and not only did her natal family not help her, but she often saved money on food and expenses. She didn't even dare to make new clothes. Then... where did her mother-in-law get the money to buy those pearls and hairpins so richly?

Recently, she often heard the emperor complain, saying that Ning Chuge was guarding the main courtyard where he lived all day, either outside the main hall, sleeping hall, or outside the study room, which was very annoying and scary.

In this way... Ning Chuge, who was dependent on the emperor all day, where did she get so much money to supplement her natal family.

Ya Ruo is a little curious!
Of course, the emperor got angry when he mentioned Ning Chuge these two days, and Ya Ruo also wanted to... help him out of the sea of ​​suffering.

After returning to the Garden of Return with Su Yuguo, she went to the royal garden next door, specially asked Wang Quan to find a dress worn by a little maid, and made it easier for her a little, then went to the emperor's bedroom and stood behind the whole body of the king. , observe Ningchug up close.

At first, Ya Ruo didn't think there was anything wrong, but saw Ning Chuge sitting on a chair drinking tea and waiting for the emperor, but later she found that she listened attentively from time to time, as if she was listening to the movement inside, especially when there were ministers in the emperor's bedroom At that time, she had been working very hard to listen sideways, and when she had time, she pretended to move around, and people were almost approaching the gate.

"This woman... is actually eavesdropping on what's going on inside, she must be too courageous!" Ya Ruo said in her heart.

Although Ning Chuge was doing a covert job, every time she eavesdropped and got up to stick to her, she would ask the maids and eunuchs she brought to help cover her, but don't forget, if Ya was going to monitor her, she would naturally be able to find out It's abnormal.

"Ge Ge..." Wang Quan called softly behind Ya Ruo.

"Hush..." Ya Ruo signaled Wang Quan not to startle the snake, and deliberately stood behind Wang Quan's body to hide, and continued to observe.

It was almost noon, and Ning Chuge didn't let anyone in to communicate, and didn't clamor to see the emperor, but left quickly with the maids and eunuchs under his command.

"Which lord is the emperor talking to?" Ya Ruo asked in a low voice.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Lingqiu." Wang Quan hurriedly reported.

"Oh!" Ya Ruo nodded lightly, and after a while, she found that the door had been pushed open from the inside, and Minister of Rites Lang Qiu came out with a pale face, and the flower feather on her head was gone.

Originally, when a first-rank official like him came out from the inside, someone should see him off, but Wu Liangfu didn't see him off.

Moreover, when Lingqiu left, his footsteps were vain, as if he had been hit by a huge blow.

Ya Ruo didn't let anyone report this time, and went in directly.

The emperor was angry at first, but when he saw Ya Ruo coming in, his expression improved a little.

"What's the matter with the emperor? Are you mad at the Minister of Rites?" Ya Ruo asked in a low voice.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" The emperor waved his hand to signal Wu Liangfu to go out, and then said in a deep voice, "Lingqiu, this slave, doesn't pay much attention to things recently. I just asked him something, but he couldn't answer it. He was dismissed in a fit of anger."

"Resigned!" Ya Ruo was a little surprised when he heard that, the emperor's temper has improved a lot recently, and he was able to dismiss someone from his post. It seemed that he was really pissed off.
