Chapter 167
"Then what?" Xia Rongxin looked at her and motioned for her to continue.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Since there are ladies and envoys at the state banquet, it is perfect to hold a meeting. This is the time to show the power of our country! It's just a game, and the ladies are having fun playing it.
It can also allow the envoys to see the feminine side of my celestial women."
"But... hunting in the palace... I am always worried that someone will get hurt." Xia Rongxin agrees with this opinion in her heart. There is no better way at the moment, so this is the only way. But if you want to go to the hunting ground,
With so many people, we have to travel back and forth, and we have to attend the New Year's Eve family dinner at the palace in the evening.
"Your Majesty, you can use a flat-headed arrow!" Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "Remove the arrowhead and wrap it in red cloth and silk. It is both beautiful and safe."
Xia Rongxin lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll do as you say. Oh, the matter that has troubled me for so long has finally been resolved, and now I can give an explanation to the emperor. Yun Xi,
I will reward you greatly!"
Seeing Xia Rongxin so happy, Yun Xi felt extremely happy: "This is what a slave should do."
Now that the most difficult things have been figured out, all we need to do next is to send the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carefully arrange these things.
Lu Huiling spent five days copying the "Palace Rules" ten times and the "Women's Rules" ten times one by one. When Eunuch He came to take these handwritten copies for the emperor to review, it was snowing heavily that day.
Already melted.
"Take it!" Lu Huiling angrily put the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules" that he had copied so hard on the table, "I will be imprisoned in Minghua Hall for five days, and I will copy
These copying hands will be broken! Go and ask the Emperor! Is this really what he wants! Doesn’t the Emperor feel distressed?!"
Lu Huiling sat angrily aside, with her back to Eunuch He, her hands tightly gripping the corners of the table, wishing that she could have the immense power to knock the table over.
"My Majesty, please calm down. Why do you need to embarrass me? I'm just an errand. These are the emperor's wishes, but they have nothing to do with me. If your Majesty has any resentment in your heart, your confinement will be lifted. Your Majesty can go to the Qinzheng Hall and personally
Ask the Emperor."
Father-in-law He is loyal and honest, but that doesn't mean he can be bullied. He is still the general manager of the palace. In the palace compound, Empress Mingxian used to respect him even when she was reincarnated. Concubine Mei never pointed out what she was doing when she asked him to do something.
, that is to say, Lu Huiling, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, does not know what is good and what is bad.
Eunuch He was scolded by the emperor because of Lu Huiling's participation in the New Year's Eve family dinner. If it hadn't been for Concubine Mei's intercession, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the emperor's wrath.
From now on, it will be difficult for Lu Huiling to find Eunuch He to do business again.
Lu Huiling felt extremely unhappy when she heard the thorns in Eunuch He's words: What? I have only been banned for a few days, and things are going crazy outside. How dare you, an eunuch, talk to me like this?
Although Lu Huiling did not say these words, there was a mockery in his eyes. He looked at Eunuch He up and down, and then said: "Hey... Anyway, I have fallen out of favor now, and Concubine Mei is in the spotlight.
, you are just such dog-tail grass, falling wherever the wind blows."
Eunuch He was tired of hearing these words in the early years. If the concubines in the palace were dissatisfied with the emperor, they would take it out on these servants who served as messengers.
Deliberately telling these words to the emperor, I can only endure it silently.
After all these years, what Lu Huiling said now can still be heard. If it is hard to hear, those crazy women in the cold palace are talking about it all day long. Eunuch He has long been used to it.
"How can it not be possible? We are busy with the family dinner on New Year's Eve. The Emperor attaches great importance to Concubine Mei and wants her to help with the family banquet. To say that the most favored concubine in the palace is Concubine Qiu Ming." He
The father-in-law turned around and smiled again, and said to Lu Huiling.
"Ha! It's not that I can't hear the implication of Eunuch He's words." Doesn't it mean that she only has a unique skin? How dare a eunuch laugh at her now that she is being played with and not taken seriously?
Lu Huiling plucked her fingernails, raised her hand and looked around, then glanced at Eunuch He with contempt, and said: "Now that you have obtained the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules", why don't you go back and give the emperor a report?
?Do you still want to stay and receive the reward?"
"I don't dare." Eunuch He nodded and smiled, flicked the fly whisk, and called to the eunuch apprentice behind him to take away these "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules". At the end, he said, "This old slave is on duty in the palace.
Years ago, I have never seen a master copying so many words with as neat handwriting as the Ming Concubine. She is indeed the daughter of Prime Minister Lu. These must be tens of thousands of words in total. They must be carefully read by the emperor.
See, this other master doesn’t have this blessing!”
Lu Huiling snorted coldly, not wanting to argue with him so much: "Thank you so much, Eunuch He, for the compliment. I can't afford it. In the early years, I heard that Concubine Mei's books are also good to read."
"Mei Guifei only copied for fun, how can she be compared with Ming Concubine, who is so serious about punishing her, she is really a pearl covered in dust." Eunuch He smiled, and everyone present could understand the implication.
Seeing Lu Huiling's furious look, Eunuch He wasn't worried at all. He just wanted to tell Lu Huiling, for fear that what he said was not good and Lu Huiling wouldn't understand, which would be a waste of time.
After Lu Huiling heard this, she was naturally furious. She clenched her hands tightly and her nails were deeply embedded in her flesh. She had read the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child and had received more education and experience than the average official lady.
She has suffered more hardships and has been arrogant all her life. She wants to be the best woman and marry the best man in the world. Now that her beloved Qi Jingqin has been snatched away by Liang Huanqing, and her ability is not recognized in the palace, it is really
exasperating!
When Eunuch He saw that Lu Huiling was so angry that he could not speak, he naturally wanted to leave immediately. He did not want to get into trouble with her at this time.
After Eunuch He left, Lu Huiling was almost hysterical.
"Ah!" Lu Huiling pushed the tea set on the table to the ground, stood up and pointed at the door and cursed: "Who the hell is he! He dares to talk to me like that! Don't you want to live anymore!"
Xu Lan quickly stepped forward to comfort Lu Huiling: "Don't be angry, don't hurt yourself because of him."
"Every time this happens, you always say these words! Can you change it to something new?" Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan angrily and said, now she lost her temper, and did not know who the other person was, and started to cover up her face.
Just a bunch of scolding.
"I asked you to deliver cakes and snacks to Qinzheng Palace these days, did you deliver them?!" Lu Huiling asked, glaring at Xu Lan.
Now that he is grounded again, Lu Huiling wants to imitate the previous gift to Qi Bingyu so that he will remember her kindness and order to lift the grounding. However, the hand that copied the "Palace Rules" and "Women's Rules" by hand is almost broken.
, there was no time to write calligraphy and calligraphy for Qi Bingyu, so I had to order the small kitchen to make some snacks and send them over, hoping to have the same effect as before.
Xu Lan was so frightened that she shrank and stood aside with her head lowered, not daring to say a word. She looked up at the angry Concubine Ming and had no choice but to say: "I sent it, but..."
"But then He Xiao'er won't help you take it in?!" Lu Huiling couldn't stand her being so timid as a mouse. She was obviously so arrogant and domineering. During the days when she was walking sideways in the palace, Xu Lan by her side would always be there.
She was timid. If it weren't for Xu Lan's service from the beginning to now, she would have replaced Xu Lan long ago.
"No...no." Xu Lan shook her head, glanced at Concubine Ming, and quickly lowered her head and said: "Director He sent it in, but the emperor took it out without even wanting to look at it again, and also told the slaves not to send it out again.
Already…”
Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan in disbelief and asked: "How is it possible! Are you deceiving me? Your Majesty, Your Majesty loves me so much. How could you ignore me just because of that little thing?"
I'm here, you must be lying to me!"
"Your Majesty!" Xu Lan knelt down and cried when she heard this, "Even if you give me a hundred courages, I won't dare to do it. Everything I say is true. Manager He told me this personally. The scene at that time was also
It's true...The emperor is busy with official duties, and the new year is coming...this...this is natural..."
Xu Lan didn't know what to say in the end.
Although Lu Huiling looked very much like the deceased Empress Mingxian, it was because of this that she gained Qi Bingyu's debt to Empress Mingxian, and then she rose all the way to 90,000 miles, and was once doted on the harem.
All debts have a time limit, and now it seems that the deadline is approaching. The seizure of power in Xia Rongxin's hands is not the cause, it can only be said to be the trigger.
Lu Huiling started to panic: "How can this be done? I still have some unfinished business. How can the emperor do this..."
Lu Huiling kept mumbling to herself, and finally stood up to walk out.
"Where are you going, Madam?!" Xu Lan quickly got up and chased after her.
"I want to see the emperor!" Lu Huiling held up her skirt and walked out.
"Your Majesty, don't go! My Majesty!" Xu Lan shouted loudly, "I don't want to see the tragedy of Empress Mingxian happen again!"
Lu Huiling suddenly stopped. She knew that Xu Lan had served Empress Mingxian before. After hearing what she said, Lu Huiling became a little worried.
Xu Lan caught up and said to Lu Huiling: "Your Majesty, please don't mess up your rules. The Emperor is just angry with Your Majesty right now. If you go over and make a scene, you will really push the Emperor away!"
