At the end of summer in the ninth year of Tianyou's reign, the heat has not subsided, but the main hall of Yuanzhi Palace is tall and vast, and there is plenty of ice, so it is not afraid of the heat. Yue Wangshu is swaying a round fan, wearing a woven gauze jacket and skirt, sitting upright
Sitting on the Taishi's chair, drinking a cup of herbal tea to cool down.
Early in the morning, Li Yue, the eunuch of the capital, led three women dressed as palace maids into the West Flower Hall.
It has been two and a half years since we last saw each other. Young Master Zheng has grown taller, while Liu Baolin and Qi Cainv have become thinner and look a little lonely.
"Let's all sit down." Seeing that they were quite reserved, Yue Wangshu hurriedly pointed to the chairs on both sides.
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they sat down.
There were no outsiders in the flower hall, so Yue Wangshu said directly: "The emperor has just issued a decree to confer Qin Xueying as a beauty and to be buried in the imperial mausoleum."
Mr. Zheng, who was the best friend of the Qin family, couldn't help but feel a sore nose and choked up: "Everyone is gone, so what's the point of pursuing the title?"
Yue Wangshu said: "Female titles are not given to the dead, but to the living." - The Qin family lost their daughter, so they must give her some comfort.
Commander Zheng was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Yue Wangshu's words.
Yue Wangshu said again: "I specially met with you this time, mainly because I want to ask you what your plans are in the future."
The three of them all smiled bitterly, and Liu Baolin said: "What other plans do we have? It's just to go back to the Construction Department and continue to be palace maids. With our status, is it possible that there will be a day when we leave the palace?"
Yue Wangshu said seriously: "Of course you can leave the palace, you can fake death and escape - just pretend that you are like Qin Meiren, who died of cholera, and then you can arrange a new identity and live the life you want outside the palace.
"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Baolin, Qi Cainv, and Zheng Shaoshi were all shocked. How could this happen?!
Qi Cainu couldn't believe it, "Really or not? Although we didn't sleep with you, we are the concubines drafted into the palace after all. The emperor is really willing to let us go??"
Yue Wangshu said: "Of course it's true. However, if you don't want to leave, you can stay as a concubine in name only. You can still guarantee your food and clothing."
The three of them looked at each other, and Liu Baolin suddenly looked at her with a strange look: "I heard that you are now a noble concubine..." - and suddenly became a beloved concubine.
Yue Wangshu coughed awkwardly, "The queen sealed it before her death. You also know that the queen is very virtuous."
Qi Cainv couldn't help complaining: "Your upgrade speed is obviously abnormal..." This is the upgrade speed of the beloved concubine.
Yue Wangshu was even more embarrassed. To be honest, she still felt a little embarrassed in front of the fellow villagers by committing herself to a feudal emperor.
Qi Cainu couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Didn't you go to that imperial village before?" - and you said it was to avoid illness? Now that I think about it, it's very fishy.
Mentioning the Imperial Mansion, Yue Wangshu suddenly thought of a person, "By the way, I met Qi Guangfeng at the Rose Ridge Imperial Manor."
Qi Cainu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, "My brother?"
Yue Wangshu nodded: "She asked me for news about you, but I really couldn't say it clearly, so..." That brother left really lonely.
Qi Cainu bit her lip: "Before I entered Youning Palace, I received a letter from home. I wasn't good at writing, so I didn't reply. Later, I had no chance to write even if I wanted to."
Liu Baolin and Major Ambassador Zheng both looked enviously. Their families had never written letters before.
Yue Wangshu said casually: "Okay, whether you are going or staying, please give me an answer as soon as possible."
Liu Baolin said hurriedly: "Of course I left the palace! I had no choice at the beginning, so I competed for favor with my hair disheveled!"
Ambassador Zheng also nodded hurriedly: "Me too, me too! Although the emperor is very handsome, he is moody. I don't want to be relegated to the cold palace again!"
However, Qi Cainu remained silent, "I... I'd better stay." - Having taken Qi Jiyue's body for nothing, do you want her brother to bear the pain of losing his sister?
Liu Baolin and Mr. Zheng couldn't help but glance at Qi Cainu, but kept silent.
Yue Wangshu nodded happily: "Okay, you go back to Youning Palace first. Someone will arrange it for you later."
Hearing the words "You Ning Palace", the three of them couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Ambassador Zheng couldn't help but ask: "The emperor will really send me and Liu Baolin out of the palace safely? He won't take the opportunity to kill us both, right?"
Yue Wangshu's black line: "If the emperor wants to kill you, why bother?" - When will this persecution delusion be cured?
Liu Baolin sneered: "Then our lives will be entrusted to you." - Yue Wanwan is now a beloved concubine, so she should be able to keep them, right?
Yue Wangshu: It’s dirty!
Mr. Zheng quickly grabbed Liu Baolin, and then said with a smile: "Well, we have helped the emperor make a lot of money in the construction department in the past few years. Before we leave, can you give us a little bit of dividends...otherwise
How will we both live together in the future?"
Yue Wangshu had naturally thought about this a long time ago. Of course, it was hard for her to ask the emperor for the money. As luck would have it, she had saved a lot of money in the past two years.
Opening the small drawer of the crescent table next to her, there were three envelopes inside. She took out two and handed them to Liu Baolin and Zheng Shaoshi respectively.
The two of them happily took it. Although they endured many times, they couldn't help but open it and take a sneak peek, then quickly stuffed it into their sleeves. They were overjoyed in an instant.
Yue Wangshu actually prepared three hundred taels of silver notes for each of the three of them, which was enough for them to buy a decent house, buy land, or open a shop, and run it well, and they would surely be able to live comfortably in the rest of their lives.
Seeing this, Qi Cainu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why was she so moved by the brother she had never met before that she chose to stay?
Yue Wangshu smiled and looked at Qi Cainu: "If you want to change your mind, it's still too late." - With the excuse of cholera, several concubines can die at once, but after waiting for a while, it will not be very convenient.
.
Qi Cainu gritted her teeth and said, "If you say I won't leave, I won't leave."
Yue Wangshu sighed quietly: "From now on, you will have to die of old age like me."
Qi Cainu was startled, "I don't understand. Didn't you leave before? Why are you back again?" As she said that, Qi Cainu suddenly thought of something, and her eyes quickly looked at Yue Wangshu's waist.
,"Are you pregnant?!"
Yue Wangshu's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "I didn't!! Don't talk nonsense!!"
Is it possible to accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!
This Qi Jiyue is so imaginative!
Qi Cainv's chatter was really not a random thought on her part. She was leaving the palace and being brought back to the palace at the same time. It was hard not to think of Wu Zetian.
Yue Wangshu had no choice but to change the subject, "By the way, the plague is so severe. Even with masks and alcohol, it is still too dangerous. Why did you all suddenly ask for orders to go to the epidemic area?" - As a modern person, it is impossible.
I don’t understand the huge risks involved here, no, Qin Meiren is in it with her life.
