Seeing that Ling Ruo's tone had softened, Hongli quickly said: "I can do it, I just need to sleep less for an hour or two at most."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ruo immediately shook her head, "That's not okay. It's the time when you are growing taller. Lack of sleep will be bad for your health." She raised her eyes and saw Hongli looking at her with a pleading look on her face.
He softened and said helplessly: "It seems that you are not willing to give up if I don't agree. That's all, I agree. As for Master Zhu's classes, as long as you think you can keep up, you don't have to come every day."
Seeing Ling Ruo relenting, Hongli was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, E Niang. I will definitely do my job well and not let E Niang down."
Yinzhen nodded and said: "Okay, now that it's decided, in a few days, I will arrange for you to go to the household department to practice."
Ling Ruo said in surprise: "The emperor has decided on the household department so quickly?"
"When Hongshi mentioned this to me before, he mentioned that the transfer department is the most suitable place for training. It manages household grains across the country. It's a bit more complicated, but relatively more intuitive." As he said this, he saw Ling Ruo.
He frowned and said, "What's the matter? Don't you like Hongli going to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Hearing that Hongshi had even advised Hongli on where to go for training, Lingruo became even more resistant, but she had already promised Hongli and could not break her promise, so she could only say: "Hubu is an extremely important place among the six departments.
Although Li is somewhat smart, he lacks experience. He suddenly left the household department, and I am afraid that he will not be able to cope with it."
Yinzhen said disapprovingly: "Hey, letting Hongli go now is not to let him take care of things, but to let him learn from him. What is so difficult to deal with? You are thinking too complicated."
Hongli was very excited when he thought that he would be able to serve in the court soon. He said, "Yes, mother-in-law. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the ministers. You don't have to worry."
Ling Ruo nodded with a complicated expression. She always felt that something was not right about this. Hongshi was so concerned about Hongli for no reason. However, whether it was suggesting that Hongli go on an errand or go to the household department, it seemed reasonable and reasonable, and she couldn't choose.
What's wrong is that she didn't say much for a while.
"As for the house, there is no time to build it at this moment. I plan to reward you with the vacant house in the west of the city. It will be your elder brother's house temporarily until we find a suitable place to build it in the future." As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Ling
Ruo then picked it up and asked, "The house the emperor mentioned is the one where the Nian family used to live?"
"Yes, that house has been empty since their family was accused, and now it is in good use. As for the servants to serve, I will first allocate some from the palace, and slowly replenish the rest.
Hongli, if you have anything that the palace servants want to take with you, feel free to take it with you, it is always more convenient to have someone who is used to it by your side."
"Thank you, Emperor Ama." Hongli really wanted to take a few people with him. For example, Xiao Zhengzi and the others were all used to it. Sometimes he didn't need to speak, and Xiao Zhengzi would understand what he meant. It was much better.
In addition, find strangers to wait on you.
Yinzhen nodded and yawned. Seeing this, Hongli said: "Huang Ama, are you tired?"
Yinzhen waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "No, I'm just a little sleepy."
Ling Ruo glanced at Yinzhen's face and said to Hongli: "You go down first, E Niang and your emperor think they still have something to say."
After Hongli retreated as instructed, Ling Ruo said to Yinzhen, who was pinching the bridge of his nose: "Your Majesty, your face looks very bad. Are you very tired these days?"
Yinzhen patted his head and said, "There's no such thing. It's just that I didn't sleep enough last night. I'll be fine after squinting for a while. You don't have to worry." Seeing Ling Ruo bit her lip lightly and said, "What's wrong? I still have something to say.
?”
Ling Ruo hesitated for a moment and said: "I shouldn't say some things, but I am worried about the emperor, so I still say them even if I shouldn't."
Yinzhen was curious about what she said, and said: "What on earth are you talking about? Why does it sound so serious? Just say it if you have anything to say. There are not so many rules between you and me."
"I know that the emperor likes Hui Guiren very much. I have been reading Hui Guiren's brand these days. However, no matter how much I like the emperor, I must take care of the dragon body and never damage the dragon body." These words were what Ling Ruo would say. If it were any other words,
Concubine, no matter how worried she is, she will definitely not say anything. Because these words can be seen as concern for the dragon body, or as jealousy towards the Shumulu family, jealous of her favor.
Yinzhen had deep trust in Ling Ruo, so naturally he would not doubt her on such a trivial matter. He immediately shook Ling Ruo's hand and said, "Are Ruo'er worried about me?"
Seeing that Yinzhen did not show any sign of displeasure or suspicion, Ling Ruo's heart warmed slightly and said: "The emperor is the lord of all people, and it is not just my concubines who are worried about the emperor."
"But I care more about your worries." After saying this, Yinzhen patted her hand and said, "I know in my heart that it's okay." He said it was okay, but he couldn't help but yawned again.
Seeing him like this, Ling Ruo shook his head and said again: "If the emperor has nothing to do, why not rest here for a while, and I will fan you." Although it has not yet entered summer, the sky at noon is already bright.
Somewhat muggy.
Yinzhen was really sleepy. He had never slept well in the past few nights. He nodded and agreed. After lying down, he saw Ling Ruozhen sitting on the bedside holding a fan. He smiled in surprise and said, "You are really ready."
Would you like to fan me?"
Ling Ruo shook the fan gently, and a gust of cool wind suddenly hit her face, "Since I said it, it is true. Is it possible that the emperor dislikes my fanning skills?"
"When did you get the skill of fanning?" Yinzhen said with a smile, then sighed: "I just don't want you to have to work hard, so I can just find someone from the palace to do this kind of thing. You are the one who uses the gold book and the gold seal.
Concubine Xi, whom I personally conferred upon you, is wasting my gold book and seal by asking you to do chores like fanning."
Ling Ruo laughed out loud at what she said, "Your Majesty's words sound to me, why does Geng Gao feel sorry for the golden book and seal, rather than me?"
Yinzhen joked: "If I say yes, will you be jealous?"
"I am not so narrow-minded." After saying that, Ling Ruo shook her fan again and said with a gentle expression, "But I want to accompany the emperor."
"I fell asleep. Aren't you boring?" Yinzhen looked at her pityingly, "Besides, if you shake the fan for a long time, your hands will get sore."
He persuaded her for a long time, but when Ling Ruo persisted, she said, "Let's do this. I remember that the money bag you gave Hongli has not yet been embroidered, so I brought it here to embroider it. As for the fan, you can just let the palace people fan it."
"Okay then." Ling Ruo agreed and ordered Shuixiu to bring over the embroidery shed. As for the fan, the palace servants were able to blow it. Under the constant cool breeze, Yinzhen quickly fell into sleep.
