"Slave deserves to die!" Xiao Ningzi knelt down again. After pleading guilty, he said aggrievedly: "But even if he is guilty, the slave must finish his words. In terms of talent, the master is not inferior to any other man, just because he is a daughter.
I cannot interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty. If in the future, the master can listen to politics behind the curtain, like Empress Dowager Deng and Empress Wu, it will definitely be a blessing to the people."
In fact, listening to politics behind the curtain began in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty ignored political affairs and Empress Lu came to the court. However, Empress Lu was a very vicious person. If she was mentioned, she would make the Nala family unhappy, so Xiao Ningzi deliberately omitted it.
Pass.
Xiao Ningzi's words made Nala's heart flutter. No one dislikes power. If she becomes the Queen Mother one day, although she looks honored, if the emperor disrespects her, the Queen Mother will become in name only and can only wait in Cining Palace.
Death. But if you can listen to the government behind the curtain, you will be in control of the entire Qing Dynasty, and you can truly make those who follow the rule prosper and those who go against the will perish.
In this case, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial than supporting Hongshi to ascend the throne as emperor.
While Nala was meditating, Xiao Ningzi had already glanced at her secretly, then kowtowed and said, "This slave is talking nonsense and deserves death. Please forgive me, Master."
Nala retracted her thoughts, looked at him and said calmly: "I have promised to forgive you before. Get up."
Seeing that Nala did not punish her, Xiao Ningzi felt reassured. After thanking her and getting up, she heard Nala say: "Don't spread those words just now, otherwise I will never spare you."
Xiao Ningzi said quickly: "Even if someone puts a knife on my neck, I will never dare to say a word." After a pause, he said carefully: "But every word I said is true.
For the good of the master, master, you..."
Nala patted the armrest and stood up and said, "Let's wait until Shumulu gives birth to the child."
Although Nala did not answer directly, the implication was that she accepted Xiao Ningzi's suggestion and did not plan to remove the dragon fetus in Shumulu's belly for the time being. Instead, she would wait until she gave birth to a boy to see if it was a boy.
Girl, make your decision again.
As long as Nala has this thought, Xiao Ningzi's goal will be achieved.
His words seemed to be thinking about Nala, but in fact they were taking the opportunity to take revenge on Hongshi. Hongshi had scolded him mercilessly before, but he remembered it firmly and never forgot it.
He knew that Hongshi looked down upon him as a slave, and he couldn't stand the fact that he was so humble and disabled but could gain the favor of the Nala family. He thought he was a villain, so when he saw the opportunity, he used his elder brother's status to reprimand him.
Yes, he is a villain. Since he is a villain, he will naturally find ways to get revenge after being scolded. For Hongshi, what revenge would be better than losing Nala's favor?
Nala didn't notice what Xiao Ningzi was thinking, but said: "In any case, the most important thing is to save Hongli at the moment, so as not to save the one in Chengqian Palace who is always complacent and regards himself as the master of the harem. This is
Gong Zhen really wants to see Concubine Xi’s expression when she knows her son is dead. It must be extremely exciting, better than any other accident."
When saying this, Nala's eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox waiting for its prey to fall.
Xiao Ningzi chuckled and said: "I believe that the master will not wait too long for this day."
One afternoon in mid-June, Yinzhen was talking to Ling Ruo in Chengqian Palace. Sixi received an urgent message that was delivered at high speed. After receiving it, Yinzhen opened it and saw that it turned out to be hundreds of thousands of stones transported by water.
The grain in Fuzhou suddenly sank when it was about to arrive in Fuzhou. Not only was all the grain dumped into the sea, but only two of the officials who escorted the grain survived.
Seeing the sudden change in Yinzhen's expression, Ling Ruo asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
In front of Ling Ruo, Yinzhen never avoided matters from his previous dynasty. When she asked about it, he sighed and said, "All the ships going to Fuzhou to transport grain were capsized, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were lost."
Ling Ruo exclaimed in shock: "Such a thing could happen, but there was a storm on the sea and the ship capsized?"
Yinzhen said solemnly: "No, the letter said that the ship suddenly leaked, as if it hit a reef. This kind of thing has happened before, but this is the first time that all ships have capsized. A total of hundreds of thousands of stones.
It is a pity that the food will be gone as soon as it is gone."
"Now that what has happened, it is useless to be sad. Your Majesty, you should quickly think about where to re-ship the grain. Otherwise, there will be a shortage of rice in Fuzhou and the price of rice will soar, which will definitely cause panic among the people."
Yinzhen nodded and said: "The previous time we transported grain, we emptied a rice warehouse in Jiangning. Although Zhejiang is rich, it is difficult to distribute so much grain again, so this time I plan to raise grain from the two lakes or Guangdong and Guangxi.
,must
It must be delivered before there is a shortage of rice." After saying this, he said: "With great joy, immediately send the ministers and ministers of the household department to the palace, and ask them to bring in the booklet recording this year's taxes and the surplus grain situation in various places.
Come to the palace."
After giving instructions to Si Xi, Yinzhen shook Ling Ruo's hand and said, "Ruo'er, I have to go help with the food collection first, and I'll see you another day."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Your Majesty, go and get busy. I don't have to worry about my concubine here."
Yinzhen nodded and left Chengqian Palace in a hurry. Shuixiu walked to the door carrying the freshly washed grapes. When she saw Yinzhen coming out, she quickly bowed and saluted. After Yinzhen had gone far, she entered the palace and said: "Master
, what happened, why did the emperor leave so suddenly."
"Something happened in the previous dynasty." After all, it was a matter in the previous dynasty. Ling Ruo did not elaborate, but said instead: "How is the situation at Shui Yixuan?"
Shui Xiu put down the crystal plate and said: "Shu Mulu has been staying in Shui Yi Xuan since she became pregnant. Dr. He went to check her pulse every day. Dr. Zhou once quietly checked the pulse record, and there was no problem.
Without waiting for Ling Ruo to ask, she added: "As for the queen, there is no movement."
Hearing this, Shui Yue couldn't help but said: "Master, I think this time the Queen will probably give birth to a dragon fetus through the Shu Mulu clan."
Her words made Ling Ruo and Shui Xiu both curious, "Why do you say that?"
"Master, have you forgotten how the second elder brother under the Queen's knees came to be?" Shui Yue's words made Ling Ruo startled, and then she showed a solemn look, "Are you saying that the Queen wants to repeat her old plan?"
"The reason why Shumulu can stay in the palace is because of the dragon fetus in her belly. Once she gives birth to a dragon fetus, there will be two situations. One is to be reset, and the other is to become a monk and lose her hair. If it is the second case, then she will stay
My children..."
Ling Ruo took her words and said: "I will definitely give it to someone in the harem to caress, and the queen is the most likely one."
Shuiyue nodded, "Yes, that's why I have this idea."
Ling Ruo tapped the table lightly and closed her eyes for a long time and said: "If the queen doesn't take action, we will have to do it ourselves. Whether it is the restoration of the Shumulu family or the raising of the child by the queen, it will not be a good thing for me."
