Yingge lowered his head and replied carefully: "As for the emperor, they did come to see me. They must also hope that I can remember the teacher-student friendship in the past and help them put in a good word in front of the emperor so that they will not do it again.
City guard."
Yinzhen put down the things in his hands and said, "Since you know, why don't you see them?"
Yingge looked down and said: "The two of them were favored by the emperor and were promoted to cabinet ministers. They should have worked carefully to repay the emperor's favor, but they committed crimes not long after entering the cabinet. The emperor demoted them to guard the city gate.
I am extremely gracious, and I don’t know what else to say. But I never thought that they would actually run away in the end."
Yinzhen looked at Yingge thoughtfully and said, "Do you really think so?"
Upon hearing this, Yingge quickly knelt down and said: "My family has been favored by the emperor for generations, how dare I deceive the emperor."
Yinzhen looked at him carefully and saw that what he said did not seem to be lying. He raised his hand and said, "Get up. I ask you, apart from that time, have they ever come to see you?"
Yingge lowered his eyes and said: "No, even the news of their escape was learned from others afterwards."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Yinzhen said: "Okay, please step back."
"Yes." After Yingge agreed, he did not leave immediately, but said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen was ill some time ago. I am very concerned about Amma who is ill. I don't know if I can go.
Want to pay a visit?"
Hearing that this was the case, Yinzhen nodded and said: "Since I'm just worried about you, let's get over it. How is Mr. Fei Yanggu doing? Is there any improvement?"
Yingge said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but Ama is still the same as before. She has seen many doctors but nothing has improved."
Yinzhen nodded, and after signaling Yingge to go down, he once again focused on the two files on the case. The two were Jinshi in the same year, and later served as officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate together. However, he did not expect that they would even be missing now.
Together. Before, he suspected that the matter was related to Yingge, but the secret agent said that there was nothing unusual on Yingge's side, and judging from Yingge's expression just now, it didn't look like he was cheating. It seemed that the matter still needed to be investigated.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door from outside the palace. Sixi stepped forward to answer the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is outside asking for an audience."
Yinzhen perked up, stroked his forehead and said, "Let her in."
Ling Ruo wore an emerald-colored flag outfit today, with jade jewelry in her hair, which gave her a hint of coolness in this hot summer.
Yinzhen waved her hand to come closer and said warmly: "What are you doing here in such a hot day? I'll see you when I'm done."
"My concubine had nothing to do, so she made sour plum soup for the emperor. It is best to quench the summer heat and quench thirst." Following Ling Ruo's words, Shuixiu took out a porcelain cup from the food box, and Ling Ruo filled it with her own hands.
Pour out the sour plum soup inside, add crushed ice and sugar, scoop it out evenly, and hand it to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, have a taste."
Yinzhen took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The sweetness and sourness of the sour plum soup were just right, coupled with the coolness brought by the ice cubes, it made people feel very comfortable, and even felt that the fatigue accumulated for the day had disappeared.
After taking a few sips, Yinzhen nodded and praised: "Ruo'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better. It makes me a little scared."
"Afraid?" Ling Ruo was surprised by the word, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Is the emperor afraid that I will poison the soup? If this is the case, the emperor will be disappointed. I will remember to put away everything.
, but I just forgot to put the poison."
"If you really want my life, I will definitely give it to you." I couldn't tell whether this sentence was a joke or serious. Before Ling Ruo could think about it carefully, Yinzhen said again: "I'm afraid I'm used to it.
If you cook something and then eat it from the imperial kitchen, you won’t be used to it, so what will you do then?”
Ling Ruo laughed lightly when he heard this and said, "If the emperor likes it, there is nothing wrong with my concubine cooking it for the emperor every day."
After Yinzhen drank the sour plum soup, Ling Ruo said: "I have something to ask the emperor, and I hope the emperor will agree."
Yinzhen said with a smile: "I said why is it so good? I brought you the sour plum soup. It turns out I have something to ask for." Although he said this, he didn't mean to be angry at all. He said: "What's the matter? Let me tell you."
"
Ling Ruo shook the palace fan and said, "Does Your Majesty still remember A Yi who was with my concubine when he was still in the dormitory?"
"Ayi..." Yinzhen thought for a moment and said, "I remember that she was Gou'er's sister, but you later sent her out of the house. I almost forgot, why did you mention her?" Gou'er.
That is, Zhang Cheng, who was given the name Zhang Cheng by Yinzhen since he was released as an official.
"Ayi got married soon after she left the house. Although I haven't seen her for a long time, I often send letters. I learned that her husband treated her very well. My only regret is that after many years of marriage, I never got pregnant.
Children, no luck
Thanks to God's blessing, I finally got pregnant last year. It's already September and I will give birth soon." Looking at Yinzhen's expression, Ling Ruo continued: "Ayi has always missed her brother, but she has no choice but to give birth to her brother.
The emperor valued him and made him an official
, first went to Yunnan, and then went to Tianjin. The two brothers and sisters lived far away from each other, and rarely met each other. Now that she was pregnant, she missed her even more, hoping to reunite with the dog for a while. She originally wanted to go to Tianjin, but she was about to go to Tianjin.
It is not advisable to give birth
I am far away, so I was wondering if the emperor could let the dog go back to the capital to see Ayi." Anyone who serves as a local official is not allowed to return to the capital without the emperor's order, except for narrative evaluations once every three years. This is
The rules have been set since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
After she finished speaking, Yinzhen said: "Is this what A Yi meant or what you meant?"
"It's my concubine's wish. Ayi has always been well-behaved and never made any requests to me. It was my concubine who saw the longing in her letter, so she boldly spoke to the emperor and hoped for his permission."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and said: "Ruo'er, this is a matter for the previous dynasty. You are the concubine, so you shouldn't get involved." Although he loves Ling Ruo very much, there are some things he is afraid of. He doesn't like Ling Ruo.
If he takes the initiative to touch it, it's not that he is sticking to the old rules, but once the courtiers find out, another turmoil will inevitably arise, which is not what he wants to see.
Ling Ruo didn't know what Yinzhen was thinking, so she lowered her head and said, "I know that if I didn't really feel sorry for A Yi, I wouldn't have said this."
After Yinzhen's eyes lingered on Ling Ruo's face for a moment, he sighed slightly and said, "That's all, let Zhang Cheng go back to Beijing. I don't want to see you sad."
Yinzhen's answer made Ling Ruo overjoyed, and she quickly leaned forward and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor for your kindness!"
Yinzhen helped her stand up and said with a chuckle: "Ayi should thank you. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have agreed."
"The emperor treated me well, I will never forget it in my life." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, Yinzhen shook her hand and said with a smile: "You are wrong, not in this life, but in eternity."
You are right to forget your talent, because I want to be your husband and wife for the rest of my life, but maybe I will not be an emperor in the next life, but just an ordinary person who worries about daily necessities, will you still marry me?"
