royal girl

Chapter 124

Ji Fuyan's words stunned the staff around him for a moment. Everyone was distracted by the matter of the salt affairs. At this moment, they looked back and thought that the salt affairs were indeed involved in the border grain incident.Thinking about it carefully, maybe it really has something to do with Bei'an Houda.

"My lord's intention is to take over the matter of border grain, but the gap is so big, there is not a small amount of silver to buy grain. The household department is crying all day long, and a big man can't get it out. What can I buy?"

"At the end of the day, it's more serious to have the Ministry of Households hand over the money, but that old fox Luo Hongsheng might not be so cooperative."

What both of them said made sense. Ji Fuyan nodded slightly, looked at them and said, "Some things don't need us to do it ourselves. Luo Hongsheng must have his own means in the position of Minister of the Household Department for so many years. However, he has been able to turn around money for so many years." Not once or twice, there will always be clues starting from here."

The eyes of the two couldn't help but their eyes lit up, this made sense.

When the last ball fell, Huiyu turned her head and looked out the window. The sky was getting darker and darker, and it looked like it was raining and snowing.There is a raging stove burning in the room, and the world outside the window seems to be two completely different extremes.

Ji Qiyu looked at the whole chess game, then at Huiyu, "Sure enough."

Sure enough, a yarn!
Huiyu smirked, pretended not to understand, changed the subject and said, "The chess game is over, Huiyu will take my leave." Then she stood up and sat for the whole afternoon, her whole back was a little stiff, and now she I miss the chaise longue at home very much.

"Okay." Ji Qiyu also stood up to see her off, and looked at Huiyu intently, "I will try your idea, but it's hard to say whether it will work or not."

"Ah? What did I say? Hehe, my lord, did you remember correctly, but I didn't say anything." Huiyu hurriedly dismissed it. Don't be greedy for such credit, it's best to give it to a man.

Seeing Huiyu calling the girl in, putting on a big cloak, with a face of ignorance and flirting with him, Ji Qiyu was really annoyed.This person has no conscience, just use herself as a pistol in her feelings, but she turns around and refuses to admit it. It must be her who turned her face and turned the book.

Seeing that Ji Qiyu's expression was not very good, Huiyu pretended she hadn't seen anything, waved her little paw to say goodbye to him, and left happily.

Ji Qiyu stood in front of the window, watching Huiyu go out of the store, and then got into the Dong family's double carriage, the long street, the low sound of wheels rolling over the street paved with bluestone slabs.The carriage gradually went away, and finally there was only a small dot that slowly dissipated in the sky. The wide bluestone road was straight and long, as if spreading to the end of the sky, leaving only endless loneliness.

Everyone has longed in their hearts for someone who will treat you well and make you feel the warmth of this world.

When I was a child, I often envied that my brothers had their own mothers and concubines. I watched them act like a baby happily, and watched them get into trouble and someone took care of them.Even the seventh brother has the empress to take care of him by his side. Although the third brother's biological mother is not favored, at least she is still there.He was the only one who was alone in the imperial city of Nuoda, from beginning to end, from beginning to end.

Dong Huiyu was the one he finally decided he wanted to marry after careful consideration.

In the second half of my life, I will spend my whole life with myself.

I can't say whether I like it or not, I just think it's appropriate.

Now, looking at her back, home, this strange word, came to mind clearly for the first time.

On the second day after Huiyu's return, news came that Peng Liang, the Fujian capital's salt transport envoy, had entered Beijing.

Peng Liang had an imperial mansion in Kyoto, and his wounded eldest son recuperated in this mansion.After Peng Liang entered Beijing, he didn't even look at his son, and went straight into the palace.Everyone speculated that Peng Liang's visit to Beijing was because of the fact that his eldest son was almost beaten to death. It was not until recently that the news came out that it was actually the emperor who called him back to the capital.

As soon as Peng Liang came to Beijing, his son didn't even care about him, so he paid homage to the holy driver first, and everyone had to say something about being loyal to the king.

This person was so calm, Huiyu was a little uneasy.Sitting in the room, holding a book in his hand, his eyes are staring blankly at the gilt-bronze incense burner holding double blessings and longevity.

"Girl." Xueqi raised the brick-red quilted curtain and walked in lightly, standing beside Huiyu and shouted in a low voice.

Huiyu turned her head, looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Zhong Daxin just sent the news that the Elder Master has been called into the palace."

It was only a few hours after Peng Liang entered the palace that the Eldest Master was declared into the palace, probably because of Peng Shunrong's beating.Both sides insisted on this matter, one said that Peng Shunrong ran into him by himself, and the other said that Dong Yunji beat someone violently, and no one could come up with evidence.The last thing to look at is how the emperor made the ruling.

In fact, it is really not easy to get evidence for this matter. According to Dong Yuncheng, Peng Shunrong may not be able to figure out the situation when he came out of the capital, and was instigated by someone with a heart, which is why he had a conflict with Dong Yunji.At that time, Dong Yunji was riding a horse, rushed out of such a person suddenly, said rude, contemptuous words, got angry in his heart, and startled the horse, which caused a disaster.

This remark fooled the ignorant Mrs. Nei Zhai, but Hui Yu didn't believe it.He doesn't know about others, but Dong Yunji's skill in controlling horses is first-class, so he won't startle the horse and hurt people in a panic, unless he does it on purpose.

However, now that the Dong family firmly insists that Peng Shunrong ran into him to seek death, who can stop him?

I'm afraid that the Peng family will not let go, not to mention that Peng Liang is the emperor's trustworthy person, and the commander-in-chief of Fujian Yandao, this matter is really tricky.

Therefore, it depends on how the holy will judges.

Imperial City, Inner Palace, Mingzi Palace, Piandian Zhiyuxuan.

"The Emperor is here!"

Xia Guiren couldn't help but pause while he was painting, and hastily put down his pen, there was no time to change his clothes.Quickly tidied up his appearance, and hurried out to greet him.

"The concubine welcomes the emperor." Xia Guiren bent down and saluted, standing at the gate of the hall, the cold wind blew on his body and his body shook, and he came out in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put on his cloak.

The emperor came over quickly and pulled Xia Guiren up, "Why did you come out without a shawl and a cloak?" He said, looking at the servants in the palace, "No one goes down to get ten boards, and if you don't serve the master well in the future, don't stay. Here it is."

Everyone turned pale with fright, and they didn't dare to beg for mercy, but kowtowed to thank them.

Xia Guiren hurriedly supported the emperor's arm, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't blame them. It's because the concubines came out in a hurry and didn't listen to their dissuasion. You should let them go. You'll be fine after finishing the board later, my concubine." And watch them limping and serving."

The emperor couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Xia Guiren's soft-spoken intercession words, but he still gave her face and spared the whole crowd, and everyone retreated as if they had received an amnesty and thanked her.

Helping the emperor into the inner hall, the store was warm with a kang.She didn't need the palace people to do anything, she untied the emperor's cloak and hung it on the hanger. Seeing that the emperor looked down and punished the palace people just now, she must be in a bad mood, so she couldn't help being more cautious.

The emperor looked at Xia Guiren's busy figure, who was making tea himself with a copper pot, and said, "You don't need to do these things yourself, what's the use of asking so many people to serve you?"

"It's not so elegant to do it yourself. Besides, I don't like other people's hands when it comes to serving the emperor. You say I'm narrow-minded." Xia Yingbai came over with a teacup and put it on the table, with a smile on her face. Sitting opposite the emperor, he spoke.

The emperor's expression softened a little, and he didn't reprimand Xia Yingbai for his inappropriate words. His eyes fell on the table in front of the window, and he saw that the drawing paper was still spread, and said, "Are you painting?"

"Drawing graffiti when you have nothing to do, you won't be able to enter the elegant hall." Xia Guiren looked shy, gave the emperor a glance, and said: "The emperor promised his concubine to make a painting last time, but he has not been able to give it to me until now." What about my concubine. When you are free later, you are not allowed to play tricks."

"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I play tricks? It's just nonsense." The emperor smiled helplessly, but following Xia Yingbai's words, the depression in his heart was reduced a lot.If the courtiers in the court could make him laugh like this, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Xia Guiren just smiled, "Your Majesty has a lot to say, so how can my concubine dare to speak up. It's just that my concubine has lost weight seeing you busy these days. I don't understand important government affairs, and I dare not criticize them, but my concubine I feel sorry for the emperor who can't even sleep well, worrying about state affairs day and night. State affairs are important, but in the eyes of my concubines, the emperor's safety is the most important thing. Look at your eye sockets are black One lap, why don't you lie down for a while, and the concubine will show you the time and wake you up in half an hour."

However, the emperor was very tired. Originally, he just came to the harem to relax, but he was really tired after Xia Guiren said so.Before he could speak, he saw her standing up resolutely, packed up the soft couch, turned around and was about to help her to go, saying that the wind is the rain, and she looked like a safe person, but she did things well. After all, it was a little frizzy, but because of him, the emperor couldn't help but smiled, stood up cooperatively, and spread his arms.

Xia Guiren took off the emperor's robe and hung it up, helped him to lie down, then sat on the side of the couch with a beauty hammer and gently beat his legs to loosen his muscles and bones.The beauty is beside me, she is considerate, even a suspicious person like the emperor, at this time it is rare to relax and feel at ease, he couldn't help sighing: "If only those courtiers could be so considerate to me, it would be great, so that I won't suffer from headaches every day."

"The concubine doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but the concubine knows that to be a courtier is to be loyal to the king's affairs and share the country's worries. If you only know how to cause trouble for the emperor, you don't need it. Every day the emperor sleeps at three o'clock and wakes up at five o'clock. , for the sake of the country and the subjects, if these people still do not act like this, the emperor will not have to worry about their face."

Hearing Xia Gui's angry words, the emperor couldn't help but smile.These words were well intentioned and considerate to him, but if he really did this, he would become a tyrant.Holding her hand, he sighed softly, "It's rare for you to always think about me."

"The concubine is just wronged for the emperor." Xia Yingbai bent down and leaned on the emperor's chest, "It would be great if someone could relieve the emperor's worries. The concubine is not willing to see you so tired every day."

Sharing worries?The emperor chuckled, "Why did you think of letting people share my worries?"

"The concubine just can't figure it out. Your majesty, you have crowned several princes as kings, so they should do more for the emperor. It is both loyal and filial, but the concubine has not seen a prince doing this until now. It can be seen that I still worry more about myself in my heart, for fear of being criticized by others. But if I really shared the emperor's worries, could the emperor have misunderstood it? It may be selfish."

"Can you talk nonsense?" The emperor looked at Xia Guiren with a straight face.

Xia Guiren lowered his head and his eyes were red, "The concubine knows it's wrong, but the emperor is busy with state affairs every day, so it's okay for them to be unable to help with the big and small things. The concubine is just not angry. Anyway, my man feels sorry for himself, and others don't care about it." .”

"Nonsense again." The emperor looked at Xia Yingbai and sighed, feeling a bit of a headache, but although these words were not pleasant, he really felt sorry for him because he was exhausted, so he spoke so bluntly.I'm not afraid that I will annoy her and punish her. "Don't be afraid that I will punish you!"

"Don't be afraid, the emperor is not that foolish emperor, so he naturally knows whether the words of his concubines are sincere or false. If one person treats another person well or badly, you will always know after a long time. The days when a concubine enters the palace is short, but the emperor treats his concubine's heart The concubine knows that the concubine can't do anything with the emperor, she just wants to make you happy and live a relaxed life."

The emperor patted Xia Yingbai's hand, "Your heart is good, I know, but you can't say this again in the future." It would be a disaster if it spread outside.

"The concubine is not stupid, so she won't say it in front of others." Xia Guiren pouted and pretended to complain.

Isn't that stupid?If anyone else would dare to mention such a thing in front of the emperor, don't worry about it?Only this silly girl dared to speak so bluntly because she didn't know the depth.But... the emperor's eyes flashed, he looked at Xia Guiren and asked, "Who did you meet today?"

Xia Guiren smiled and said: "Walking in the imperial garden, I happened to meet Concubine Liang and Concubine Concubine Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang is kind and charitable, Concubine Concubine Gui is gentle and warm, and treats all my concubines very well. It also hangs on the body of the emperor."

Concubine Liang?Concubine?
The emperor smiled, "I will take a nap for a while, and wake me up later. There are still two stubborn woods in the previous court, which is really a headache."

"You rest, my concubine will watch the time for you, and I won't miss your business." Xia Guiren's voice was soft and low, and the beauty beat the emperor's leg rhythmically, with a full of excitement. With a smile, it makes people feel better.

The emperor nodded slightly and closed his eyes, but although he felt tired for a while, he couldn't fall asleep.The things of these days kept going back and forth in his mind, which made him feel quite a headache.Just now, Xia Guiren's words slipped through his mind again, and he had really thought about letting a few adult princes run errands, but it was really hard to decide who these children should use or not.What's more...the emperor sneered in his heart and gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he felt that the beauty was beating her leg repeatedly.The emperor opened his eyes and saw that Xia Guiren was still sitting in his previous position, without moving a bit, "Why are you still beating? Let the workers do this kind of serving people."

Xia Guiren smiled and didn't nod, but instead said: "It's not time yet, why are you awake, why don't you sleep for a while?"

"As I get older, I feel less sleep, and I don't sleep anymore."

"The emperor is in his prime, and in my concubine's heart, the dragon is in full swing." Xia Guiren helped the emperor sit up, took the clothes for him to put on, and said with a smile: "The concubine has ordered to go down and make some food and deliveries." Come on, the emperor will be busy after using it."

After speaking, he immediately ordered someone to bring up the prepared food, a bowl of soup, four dishes of side dishes, all of which looked like clear dishes, which made people very appetizing.The emperor came over after washing his hands, smiled when he saw it, and said after sitting down, "You are becoming more and more independent."

Having said that, Xia Guiren looked carefully at the emperor's expression and was not displeased, so he knew that he had made the right bet, even if the emperor might like others' sincere concern.Even if the sincerity is pretended, as long as the emperor thinks it is true, then it is true.

Xia Guiren just smiled but refused to speak. He stood beside him and served him with cloth and vegetables, with a slight smile on his face from the beginning to the end, even his eyes were bright, as if it was a great joy for the emperor to eat these things.

The emperor shook his head lightly, smiled and used some, even though he was not hungry, but seeing her carefully prepared his favorite meals, his heart was somewhat warm, and he was unwilling to live up to the rare heart in the deep palace.

After finishing the meal, the emperor stood up and looked at Xia Guiren with a smile, "I will accompany you tonight, so you can rest well."

"The concubine is not tired at all, just looking at the emperor." Xia Guiren took the cloak and put it on the emperor, tied the belt, and said: "The concubine will wait for you at night, you should pay attention to your health."

"Well, I know, it's windy outside, don't come out, just stay there." The emperor smiled and strode out. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and looked around, and saw that he was covered in blue sky, water and blue ground. Xia Guiren in a long skirt was standing at the door and staring at his back with a smile. When he suddenly turned his head to catch him, he squatted down to salute himself with a little embarrassment.Under the sun, on that unremarkable face, only the smile made people look particularly comfortable.

The emperor left in a good mood, and Xia Guiren turned back to the inner hall until he could no longer see the shadow.The palace servants in the room had already cleaned up, and she waved her hand, "You all go down, I will lie down for a while, and call me in an hour." Everyone knew that the emperor would come over at night, and they all had deep smiles on their faces. The master he serves is favored, and the slave will have face when he goes out.

After everyone retreated, the room returned to silence. Lying on the soft couch where the emperor had been lying, Xia Yingbai smiled with her eyes closed.Today's half-day effort was finally not wasted, it can be regarded as a repayment for the noble concubine's support and support.Who doesn't know Concubine Liang's thoughts, she has been on the same line with her good aunt recently, and has run on her several times, really thinking that she can't do anything about her?

When I went to the Imperial Garden today, I really met Concubine Liang and Concubine Gui, but the two didn't make an appointment to visit the garden along the way, but I happened to meet them.Before mentioning this topic, I seemed to have no intention of complaining about injustice and let the princes share the emperor's worries. At this moment, the emperor probably already thought that it was Concubine Liang who said something in front of him.As for the imperial concubine, hehe, the imperial concubine's son hasn't been crowned king yet, so naturally she won't mention such a thing.

She knew that the imperial concubine wanted to win her over, and she was very grateful that the imperial concubine helped her when she was in trouble, so this time she repayed her kindness. As for the future, let's wait and see.

Dong Yunji's violent beating of Peng Shunrong was negotiated by the emperor. The Dong family shook hands with the Peng family and made peace. The Dong family paid 2000 taels of medicine. After all, the Peng family's son was lying on the bed, but Dong Yunji was alive and kicking.However, the Peng family asked Dong Yunji to make an apology, but Master Dong justly refused.Sneered twice in front of the emperor, slightly exaggerating what Peng Shunrong said, making Peng Liang black-skinned.

Seeing that this matter is obviously resolved, but the Peng and Dong families are regarded as feuds.

Dong Yunji came back alive that night, and was chased and beaten by Mrs. Dong with a stick all over the yard, which made Huiyu a joke.

Dong Yunji looked at Dong Huiyu who was bending over with a smile, his face turned blue.Under the coercion of Mrs. Dong's second wife, even Dong Yunji couldn't help but hid to Dong Yuncheng and cried.

"Yes, you should know how to measure when you speak and do things in the future. It depends on whether you still want to be so impulsive." Dong Yuncheng didn't show any sympathy for Dong Yunji's embarrassment, and continued to teach: "Your parents don't dare to hurt your body, hair and skin. Filial piety is the beginning. Stand up and walk the way , to make your name known to later generations, to honor your parents, is the end of filial piety. You act recklessly like this, have you ever thought about the elders in your family..."

Baba balaba blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

He was beaten up by Mrs. Dong Er, scolded by Dong Yuncheng, comforted by Dong Er Master, and Dong Da Master was heartbroken for Yinzi. In short, in short, Dong Yunji was grounded!

On the second day after Dong Yunji was grounded, the emperor suddenly ordered King Ning to work as an errand in the household department, and ordered the fourth prince to take over the salt affairs.It is normal for King Chun to follow Ning Wang's ass if he can't write well.But the First Prince didn't have any errands, but Prince Jing, who had always been indifferent, was employed. Although he received extremely offending and thankless errands, the courtiers still asked something out of it.

For a while, Prince Ning's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion became the hottest areas in Kyoto. It was heard that people who asked for a visit every day blocked the entrances, especially the entrance of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Who let King Jing take over the salt affairs.

For such a miraculous development, Huiyu really didn't come to her senses for a long time.

Ji Qiyu is not the emperor's own son, is there such a cheating son?Regarding the matter of salt affairs, even the emperor was helpless, and unexpectedly threw it to an inexperienced son who had just become king.What did King Ning do?After entering the household department and following Luo Hongsheng, that old fox, he might be able to figure out all the doorways in the household department within two years.

Huiyu held back her anger for a long time. After all, Ji Fuyan was the male protagonist in the original text. Look at the emperor's points for this errand. It is obvious that one side is a well-proportioned errand, and the other is a bad errand who is scolded and hated.

Poor Ji Qiyu, I'm afraid she's going to explode with anger right now.

Huiyu was right, Ji Qiyu was really going to explode, she was locked in the study all day without seeing anyone, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.Looking at the notes written on the table is exactly the strategy to solve the border food issue.Hehe, it is really useless now, the emperor put King Ning into the household department, probably because he wanted to make meritorious service against him.

In a rage, Ji Qiyu tore up the paper.Just like this, I still feel puzzled, and I wrote wild grass all afternoon, and then I feel a little better.

He would like to see what good solution Ji Fuyan can come up with. As for the salt affairs, he has been suffering from illness for many years, and he does not seek meritorious deeds but no faults.It's just that at this moment, the emperor asked himself to take over the salt business. What does it mean, to check or not to check?Now that matters related to salt affairs are coming to me, and the door is blocked by these officials, what can I do to meet the emperor's wishes?
Ji Qiyu thought for a whole day, he was not in a hurry, it should be King Ning who was in a hurry.If the food at the border cannot be delivered, the Marquis of Bei'an may have to hand over the paperwork again.Hehe, it depends on whether King Ning can ask Luo Hongsheng to let him help.

That old fox...hehe.

Ji Qiyu began to observe that Shangyi started to take over the affairs of the salt affairs, and the first thing he was asked was whether the salt affairs should be investigated or not?
After several months of quarreling in the hall, there was no result. The person who asked this question should be kicked out, facing the wall and thinking about it.

Ji Qiyu, on the other hand, kept a straight face, and said very seriously: "I always have to figure out the specific matters of the salt affairs first, whether to investigate or not, don't worry."

"In the end, Prince Jing didn't let go of the investigation or didn't investigate?" Duke Xin Guo frowned and asked.

"Yes, King Jing has started to meet and talk with people who are all transferred to the envoy of salt transportation. However, Prince Jing has never been in contact with government affairs. It is not easy to figure out the salt affairs. I am afraid it is just a show. Come out for everyone to see."

"What's Peng Liang's reaction?" As Fujian's capital transferred to salt, he did not believe that Peng Liang could sit still.

"Received the signal from His Highness Prince Ning, Peng Liang hasn't left the capital yet, but he hasn't met Prince Jing yet."

It meant that Peng Liang was avoiding Prince Jing, so Duke Xin heaved a sigh of relief and nodded slowly, "Go and meet Peng Liang in private, and just say that the concubine will take good care of the side concubine Peng, so that Master Peng can rest assured. that is."
