Mingyu's heart moved and she said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, didn't you say before that the sachet that I use to calm my nerves is very delicate? It was made by Jingxuan, so I might as well let her try it."
When Mingyu spoke, Hongli would not refuse, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, but do you want to take off your clothes?"
Wei Jingxuan knew that he was asking her, and quickly said: "Don't bother, the emperor just wants to talk to the master." After that, she took the needle and thread, picked out a piece of silk thread with the same color as Hongli's sleeve, and then carefully
He mended the holes in his sleeves.
After about the time it took to touch a stick of incense, Wei Jingxuan cut off the silk thread and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it has been repaired. Do you think it's okay?"
Hongli took back his hand and looked at the original broken spot, and found that it was flat, intact, and without any trace of repair, as if it had never been broken. He looked at Wei Jingxuan in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a popular girl.
Okay, it’s really not that simple.”
Wei Jingxuan quickly lowered her eyes and said: "The emperor has given you a reward, and I dare not accept it."
After Wei Jingxuan stepped aside, Mingyu said: "Your Majesty, although Sixi and Xiaowu are waiting by your side, sometimes they still lack some care when doing things, such as today's incident. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise it would definitely cause trouble.
It’s a joke. So I think it’s time to choose someone who is considerate and thoughtful to serve the emperor.”
Hongli nodded noncommittally, "Then I will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs choose one tomorrow."
"I don't know whether the people selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are good or bad. If they are clumsy and will cause trouble, why not..." Mingyu paused and said, "Let Jingxuan serve the emperor. She is a concubine."
He has been trained to work hard and steadily, so he is the most suitable."
"Wei Jingxuan?" Hongli said in surprise: "She is someone close to the Queen. If she goes to serve me, what will the Queen do?"
Mingyu said warmly: "I still have discipline for them to serve me, so it doesn't matter."
Hongli didn't like Wei Jingxuan. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "The Queen is pregnant with Liujia now, and there is no shortage of people around her. It would be better for her to stay with the Queen."
Wei Jingxuan heard the coldness in Hongli's words. After taking a quiet look, she knelt down and said in a panic: "Master, is there anything wrong with being a slave, so you don't want to be a slave anymore?"
Mingyu's eyes flashed slightly and she said: "Fool, when did I say I don't want you? It's just that there is no suitable person around the emperor to take care of you. I really can't worry about it." After ordering Wei Jingxuan to get up, Mingyu said again:
"Your Majesty, Ji You and Cui'er are very attentive. As long as they take care of me, everything will be fine. I just can't worry about the Emperor. Jingxuan is really good. Your Majesty..."
Facing Mingyu's repeated requests, Hongli felt soft and nodded: "Okay, let her follow me."
After hearing these words, Mingyu finally let go of her hanging heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then she said to Wei Jingxuan who was standing aside: "In the future, you must serve the Emperor well and don't be careless.
Do you know?"
Wei Jingxuan's eyes were slightly red and she said, "I will serve the Emperor well. Master, please rest assured."
On this day, Wei Jingxuan finally got her wish and went to Hongli. However, as she had guessed before, Hongli didn't like her. When he came back from Kunning Palace, he never paid attention to her and didn't arrange any errands.
Let her stand at the bottom.
When Hongli read the last booklet, it was already Haishi. He rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Sixi, I'm tired. Wait for me to change my clothes."
When Si Xi stepped forward as instructed, Wei Jingxuan boldly said: "Your Majesty, I wonder what this servant wants to do?"
"You?" After stepping into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Hongli looked at her for the first time and said coldly: "If you have nothing to do, clean the inside and outside of the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart."
Wei Jingxuan knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she didn't say anything and just agreed in a low voice.
Because he had to go to court early in the morning to listen to politics, Hongli got up before dawn. While Sixi was washing him, he vaguely heard some movement outside and casually said: "Who is outside?"
Xiao Wu twisted the face towel and handed it to Hongli, saying: "If you want to return to the emperor, it is Wei Jingxuan."
Hongli was stunned for a moment before he remembered that she had followed him to the Yangxin Hall and asked, "What's she doing here so early?"
Xiao Wu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you ordered Wei Jingxuan to clean the inside and outside of Yangxin Hall last night, so she didn't sleep all night." After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to order her to go down?"
Hongli thought for a moment and said, "Call her in. I have something to ask her."
Xiao Wu responded, and soon he came in with Wei Jingxuan who looked tired. Hong Li glanced at her and said, "You have been busy all night, are you tired?"
Wei Jingxuan lowered her head and said: "The emperor has asked me to complete the work, no matter how tired I am." After that, she said hurriedly: "I have almost finished cleaning. It will be done in a while, and it will not affect the emperor's morning court."
"
After Hongli was fully dressed, he said in a cold voice: "I scolded you fifty sticks last time, do you blame me?"
Wei Jingxuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "The reason why the emperor beats the slave is because the slave deserves it. How dare the slave have any resentment towards the emperor?"
Hongli glanced at her and said coldly: "You deserve it, do you really think so?"
Wei Jingxuan choked with sobs and said: "Yes, for more than a year, I have spent every moment in regret. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely persuade the master to let go of his resentment towards Concubine Xian and Miss A Luo; if that were the case, Master Fu
I would never have reached this stage with Miss Aluo." After that, she knelt down and said, "I know that the emperor will not believe it, but every word I said is true."
Hongli didn't say a word to her words. After a moment of silence, he said, "I ask you, why did the queen suddenly ask you to serve in the Yangxin Hall? She has never done that before."
Wei Jingxuan bit her lip and said softly: "Slave... I don't know."
Hongli's eyes turned cold and he said, "Do you not know or don't want to say it?" Before Wei Jingxuan could say anything, he shouted again: "Say it!"
Wei Jingxuan trembled, biting her lower lip and said: "The Queen... She knew that the Emperor had been staying at Yanxi Palace for the past two days, and she was very unhappy. She was afraid that Concubine Xian would... take advantage of her to be pregnant with a dragon fetus.
When I can't serve the emperor, I compete for the emperor's favor, so..."
Hongli said with a cold face: "So you are recommended to me, do you want to use this to tie me up?"
Wei Jingxuan nodded tremblingly, then kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame the empress. She has become very sensitive since she became pregnant. Coupled with those things in the past, that's why she did this."
