Hongshi nodded vigorously and said: "I understand, I will go to Huang Ama to ask for orders."
"Go." Under Nala's gaze, Hongshi left Kunning Palace. When he arrived at Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was taking a nap and waited outside for a while before going in.
Entering the inner hall, he saw Su Peisheng helping Yinzhen change his clothes. He quickly walked over, took the clothes from Su Peisheng's hand and put them on Yinzhen.
Yinzhen looked at him and said, "How long have you been here?"
Hongshi lowered his head and said softly: "As for returning to Emperor Ama, my son has just arrived."
Yinzhen nodded and said, "Well, do you have something to do to see me at this time?"
"Yes, I have something to report to Emperor Ama." After tying Yinzhen's belt, Hongshi took a step back and said, "I recently heard that someone was pretending to be Prince Baoshuo and was cheating everywhere."
Yinzhen frowned, stared at Hongshi and said, "Is there such a thing?"
"My son couldn't believe it at first. After all, Prince Baoshuo had been buried long ago. But somehow, the news that Prince Baoshuo was burned beyond recognition spread. Some people who are good at deception used this to make a fuss about his death.
The person in question is not Prince Baoshuo, but someone else, and then he pretends to be Prince Baoshuo and goes around cheating!"
Listening to Hong Shi's words, Yinzhen's eyelids twitched violently. For a long time, he said with a subtle tremor: "Hong Shi, are you telling me whether this matter is true? Hong Li...is it true?"
Not dead?"
Hongshi was startled, and when he was thinking about how to answer, Yinzhen had already waved his hand and said: "I'm overthinking it. If Hongli is really not dead, why hasn't he returned to Beijing for so long? Hongli... is already dead."
, it’s impossible to still be alive.”
Hongshi said quickly: "My son knows that Huang Ama believes in Prince Baoshuo, but a dead person cannot be resurrected, so I would like to ask Huang Ama to express his condolences. The most important thing right now is to arrest those who pretend to be the Crown Prince to prevent them from destroying the Crown Prince."
of and royal reputation.”
"You're right." Yinzhen nodded. Although he had just taken a nap, his expression still looked very tired. "Since you discovered this matter, it's up to you to handle it. I don't allow anyone to take advantage of it."
To commit deception in his name."
"I obey, I will definitely handle this matter." With this promise, a big stone in Hongshi's heart finally fell to the ground. With this imperial edict, even if Hongli was the real crown prince, he would
It can also be said to be a fake that is pretentious and deceptive.
As for Hongli, after they could not find a way to enter the city, they also thought of Li Wei who was far away in Zhejiang and changed their route to Zhejiang. They did not know that Hongshi had already set a trap in Zhejiang for them to get into.
.
Neither Yinzhen nor Ling Ruo knew that their son Hongli not only survived, but also came outside the capital, but was blocked by Hongshi's people and could not enter the city.
Since that time in Meilin, Ling Ruo has never seen Yinzhen again, and she has never stepped out of the palace again. She only reads books and copies Buddhist scriptures every day, trying to keep her mood calm so as not to affect the fetal energy.
Occasionally, she would think of what Yinzhen said that day in the forest. He said that he would never accept Nalan Meier as his concubine, and that he would never let him down. In this case, why did he force Aqi to divorce his wife?
And why he brought Nalan Meier into the palace and opened Yikun Palace for her to live in. Each and every one of these hints that he intends to accept her as his concubine.
But if it is said that Yinzhen was just perfunctory at that time, it doesn't seem like it, what on earth is going on?
During this period of time, news continued to reach Ling Ruo's ears. It was nothing more than that Yinzhen had rewarded Nalan Meier with some rare treasures. However, he had never heard of Yinzhen spending the night in Yikun Palace.
"Master, the money manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is outside asking for an audience." Shui Yue's words interrupted Ling Ruo's thoughts. She stroked her face and raised her eyes and said, "Let him come in."
Since being promoted to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qian Moduo has been proud of himself. Qian Moduo looks much younger than before. After he came in, he patted his sleeves and knelt down and said: "Slave Qian Moduo pays his respects to Concubine Xi. May Concubine Xi be blessed with peace and happiness."
"
"Mr. Qian, please get up." Seeing him standing up to express his gratitude, Ling Ruo asked, "I wonder why Mr. Qian came to see me today?"
Qian Moduo said flatteringly: "As for Concubine Xi, a batch of high-quality blood swallows were just paid as tribute yesterday. The slaves have already distributed them according to the expenses of each palace and courtyard. However, according to the usual practice, we still need to invite the concubine.
We'll make a decision after looking at it." He said as he handed over the booklet in his hand.
Ling Ruo's eyes quickly scanned the contents written in the book. Blood swallows are the top quality bird's nests. Not all harems are eligible to enjoy them, so not many people have written them in the book.
This batch of blood swallows totaled eighteen kilograms, five kilograms for Yinzhen, three kilograms each for himself and the queen, two kilograms each for Shumulu and Liu, and the remaining three kilograms went to Yikun Palace.
Shui Yue stood next to Ling Ruo, and saw the contents of the booklet clearly, and said quickly: "Hey, Eunuch Qian, why is there no name of Empress Jin in the booklet, and what is the name of the lady from Yikun Palace?
Just like the queen and my master, do you have three kilograms to yourself?"
She said such straightforward words that Qian Moduo didn't know how to answer. He rubbed his hands for a long time and said: "Miss Shuiyue doesn't know something. I originally wrote the name of Empress Jinbin. She weighs the same as Qianbin and the others, but she happens to be waiting for me."
Nalan Fujin's palace servants came over and were not happy to see the slave separated like this. He asked the slave why Nalan Fujin only weighed one pound and said that he had to be the same as the empress. The slave had no choice but to..."
"I have no choice but to give her the two pounds that belonged to Jinbin, right?" Shuiyue said coldly, "Although Nalan Fujin can do business with Nalan Fujin in this way, I don't know how my father-in-law can deal with Jinbi."
"Shui Yue!" Ling Ruo scolded Shui Yue, signaling Shui Yue to stop talking, then closed the book and handed it to Qian Moduo, saying: "Nalan Fujin was quite favored by the late emperor before she got married. Now she is temporarily living in the palace, so it is not appropriate for her to do so."
The lenient treatment, just follow the three kilograms of blood swallows you mentioned above, but Jin Concubine should not be so merciless, and allocate two kilograms from my palace to Jin Concubine."
"In this case, the empress only has one pound of blood swallows left. How can it be enough?" Ling Ruo's words made Qian Moduo stunned. He also knew that his comments were too biased, but Nalan Fujin is now in the palace.
A popular person, there were rumors everywhere in the palace that the emperor would make her his concubine, and even
He really didn't dare to offend the noble concubine. He brought the book to Ling Ruo to look at. Firstly, this was indeed the custom. Secondly, if Ling Ruo felt that this way of division was not good and that Nalan Fujin should not be divided into three pounds, so
If Nalan Fujin asks about it in the future, he will have something to evade.
Ling Ruo smiled and said nonchalantly: "The blood swallow is not enough, you can use the official swallow, but it doesn't mean you have to use the blood swallow." With that said, she ordered Shuiyue to get the gold seal, dip it in cinnabar, and put it under the book.
On the cover is a seal engraved with the words "Golden Seal of Concubine Xi".
