"That matter has passed. Don't think about it anymore. Since Yong Lian likes you, you should spend more time with her." At this point, she sighed and said, "Actually, I also want to accompany him.
Feed the cats, but it’s a pity that I’m not in good health and can’t get close to those cats and dogs.”
Xianyue thought for a while, nodded and said: "Since the empress has said so, then it is better for me to be respectful and obey her orders."
Mingyu smiled and said: "Yonglian will be very happy if he knows."
After talking for a while, Mingyu left. Aluo looked at her retreating background and said: "It seems that everything is as the master expected. It's just that the slave is worried about the Queen Mother. Will she
I can't help but take action against my master."
Xianyue stood up while stroking her clothes and said calmly: "If she doesn't even have that little patience, it proves that I overestimate her. In this case, it will be better."
A Luo nodded and saw that there was not much silver charcoal in the charcoal basin, so he asked someone to get some more. Unexpectedly, not long after the newly fetched silver charcoal was put into the copper basin, a lot of smoke came out, and for a while, the hall was filled with smoke.
The smoke is so thick that it makes you cough.
While coughing, Xianyue quickly asked someone to move the charcoal pot down, and opened the window. After the smoke had dissipated, she said, "What's going on with these silver charcoals? Why is there such a big smoke?"
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you put black charcoal."
"My servant doesn't know. These are the ones that Concubine Hui sent last time. I just took them out for use today." While they were talking, Qi Kuan walked in and said, "Master, I have looked carefully at those charcoals. If you, slave,
If I guessed correctly, it should have been soaked in water, which is why there is such a big smoke."
A Luo said strangely: "It's strange. This silver charcoal has been placed in the house since it was delivered. How could it be soaked in water?"
"Since we have no problem here, there should be something wrong with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But Manager Qian is always careful, so how could he make such a mistake?" As soon as Qi Kuan finished speaking, Xianyue said: "It should have nothing to do with Qian Moduo.
, someone has tampered with it." Seeing Qi Kuan and others looking puzzled, she said coldly: "Have you forgotten who sent this silver charcoal?"
Zhichun was the first to react and said: "This slave knows that it was Concubine Hui who did something."
"She is one of the four concubines after all. She actually uses such despicable methods. It is really disgusting." After Aluo said something, he said: "Master, please sit down for a while. I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to deliver some dry food."
Here comes the silver charcoal."
"Go and come back quickly." After getting Xianyue's approval, Aluo took two people and left quickly. They left for half an hour, but when they came back, the three of them had nothing in their hands.
See silver charcoal.
A Luo saluted and said in a muffled voice: "Master, I went to see Chief Qian, but Chief Qian said that all the silver charcoal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been distributed, and there was nothing left. He had to notify the palace to transport it in. This time
It takes at least ten days to come back."
Zhichun was the first to say: "More than ten days? Doesn't the master have no money to use during this period?"
A Luo nodded helplessly, and Qi Kuan said from the side: "No, generally speaking, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should have a charcoal depository. A Luo, are you sure you want to ask clearly?"
"Manager Qian said that there should have been some originally, but a few days ago, when Concubine Hui distributed the distribution, the stock was also included, so now the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't even get out a piece of silver charcoal." At this point, A Luo
He said bitterly: "Yinu, you see, all this is caused by Concubine Hui. She deliberately wants to harm the master and has no money to use. It is really abominable."
Qi Kuan frowned and said: "The most important thing now is Yin Tan. My master has just recovered and cannot be exposed to the cold. We must think of a way quickly."
A Luo said angrily: "But the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already said that there is no silver charcoal, what else can I think of?"
Zhichun probed: "How about we report this matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision for his son?"
A Luo said: "It's useless. Concubine Hui can just shirk the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was careless and wet the basket of silver charcoal. As for not leaving any charcoal, it's a trivial matter. In short, it has nothing to do with her at all. Besides,
, she is now pregnant with the dragon seed, even if we can prove that she has done something secretly, the emperor will not punish her harshly. "
Zhichun said with some reluctance: "Then let's just forget about it?"
Qi Kuan spread his hands and said, "I have to forget it, but these silver charcoals are not completely unusable. Taking advantage of the good weather these days, if you dry them in the sun more, you should be able to dry out the moisture inside."
"Hope." A'luo reluctantly agreed, and was about to order someone to carry the silver charcoal outside to dry in the sun. Xianyue, who had been silent, said: "No need, just take it to the warehouse to store it."
A Luo was startled and said, "Master, what do you do to keep yourself warm?"
Xianyue said nonchalantly: "It's just to keep warm. Just wear more clothes. It's not a big deal. Anyway, just follow my instructions and put away these charcoal."
Seeing that Xianyue had made up her mind, Aluo and the others had no choice but to agree and put away the silver charcoal intact.
In the following days, there were rumors in the palace that Gao was pregnant, co-managed the Sixth Palace, and was pregnant with dragon seed. These two things combined pushed Gao to the peak of glory. Hongli and Ling Ruo even rewarded her.
The generous gift allows the Gao family to raise their children with peace of mind, so that they can spread the branches and leaves of the royal family and extend their heirs.
Compared with the bustling Jingren Palace, Yanxi Palace seemed particularly deserted. Xianyue didn't care about it. In addition to reading to relieve her boredom, she went to Changkang Youmen to feed the black cat with Yonglian.
On this day, after feeding as usual, Xianyue returned to Yanxi Palace and unexpectedly saw Mrs. Su at the palace gate. After the latter bowed her knees and saluted, she smiled and said: "I asked the palace people and said that your empress has gone out.
, I was thinking about whether to wait for a while, but unexpectedly, the empress came back."
Xianyue took her hand affectionately and said, "Why do you have time to visit me today, concubine Chun?"
Mrs. Su lowered her eyes and smiled, and said warmly: "My concubine is always free, but I'm afraid that coming too many times will annoy my mother-in-law."
"What are you talking about? This palace is very boring. I wish you could come more often." As they spoke, they entered the palace. Xianyue pulled her to sit down together and said, "Is Yongzhang okay? It's been cold lately.
, but you need to give him more clothes so that he doesn’t get cold."
Mrs. Su said gratefully: "I know, thank you very much for your concern. Your Majesty also needs to take care of yourself. Your illness has only been cured not long ago."
Xianyue nodded and said: "I'll spare you the trouble. By the way, I was very happy when I heard that Concubine Hui was pregnant. Have you ever gone to visit her?"
Su Shi shook her head repeatedly and said: "No, since the last time I talked to my concubine, I feel scared when I see Concubine Hui, and I dare not go to her place again." She glanced at Xianyue quietly and whispered.
He said: "Actually, if the Queen is so kind-hearted, the child should be the Queen's."
