Guarjia chatted and said: "What Sister Wen said is not bad, but I also heard one thing. It is said that the second elder brother fell in love with the girl from the Asoli family at first sight, and begged the queen to marry her as his direct descendant.
"
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and asked, "Will the queen agree?" Based on her understanding of the queen, Yingge's daughter is the best candidate for Hongshi's direct successor to Fujin. Even if Hongshi begs, she may not agree.
"This is unknown, but do you think it was because of this that the Queen invited the Queen Mother to make a decision?" After all, the Gualga family only heard about it and it was not easy to draw conclusions at will.
Ling Ruo was about to speak when a thought suddenly emerged in her mind. Nala was very thoughtful and there was always a step back in everything. It was extremely difficult to deal with her directly. In this case, could there be another way?
?
The rain in autumn and winter was extremely cold, and it felt like a refreshing chill on the body. After sending Guarjia and Wen Ruyan off, Ling Ruo practiced calligraphy with Hongli for a while.
In the evening, Sixi led the little beggar in. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, Ling Ruo would have hardly recognized him. The little beggar's face was dirty all the way here, but his eyes were more lively, and now they are clean
Then she was replaced by a palace maid, and she found that she was quite handsome, with clear eyebrows, and a small mouth under her high nose, as red as a summer cherry.
"What's your name?" Ling Ruo asked, looking at the little beggar looking around with curiosity on his face.
"I..." As soon as she said a word, she was hit on the back of the head. She looked angrily and saw Sixi staring at her and scolding in a low voice: "You are so unruly after entering the palace. You have to call yourself in front of the master."
Slave, before you reply, you have to say 'reply to the master'. I have told you this several times before. If you don't remember this for a long time, if you can't remember this rule, you may be beaten in the future. Be careful and lose your life.
Neither."
The little beggar murmured something in a low voice, but did not argue with him. She changed her words and said uncomfortably: "Master, I don't have a name for this slave." She was a bit clever, and she turned her black and white eyes in a circle and whispered.
: "This slave is brave and asks the master for a name."
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said: "Let's call her Mo'er." After thanking him, he said: "Since you have entered the palace, you must learn the rules of the palace, otherwise no one will be able to save you.
I can’t help you. Mo’er, I’ll ask you again, do you really want to stay with me?”
Mo'er nodded quickly, "Yes, I... although I haven't read any books, I know the principle of repaying a favor. If it weren't for the master's rescue, I would have been beaten to death by those people. So I swear,
You have to work as a cow or a horse to serve your master all your life."
Ling Ruo just laughed at her words. After living in endless battles for so many years, she could still distinguish between truth and lies. Mo'er followed all the way, and shamelessly followed him into the palace.
It's definitely not as simple as repaying a favor. Does it take a lifetime to repay two buns after being beaten?
But it doesn’t matter. The palace is the most complicated place in the world. She wants to see what kind of trouble this little beggar can stir up. "Nan Qiu, take her down. She will be taught all the rules in the palace carefully.
, let her wait outside for now."
"Yes." Nan Qiu agreed and took Mo'er down. As soon as he went out, Mo'er couldn't wait to ask: "Sister Nanqiu, right? Do you get a lot of money every month as an errand in the palace?"
"
Nan Qiu said indifferently: "Ordinary palace ladies are paid five coins per month. Also, you must call me aunt from now on."
Mo'er was disappointed when she heard that the palace maid only had five taels of silver a month. After a year like this, even if she didn't eat or drink, she could only save six taels of silver. It was far different from what she imagined. She didn't know how many years it would take to save.
She would have no worries for the rest of her life. But she soon felt relieved. She didn't enter the palace just for the monthly money.
, as long as she serves the master well in the future, the master will reward her with a few things at will, which will be worth several years of monthly money. When she came to see him just now, she really saw that the master was either pearls or emeralds, even the clothes on his body.
The embroidery on the clothes I wore were all made of gold and silver threads, which was really enviable.
Nan Qiu glanced at her and said meaningfully: "Instead of caring about these things, it's better to learn the rules. Life in the palace is not as simple as you think."
"Yes." Mo'er agreed, but in her heart she disagreed with Nan Qiu's suggestion. In her opinion, she had survived the terrible days when she would starve to death or be beaten to death at any time. Could it be that the life in the palace
Could it be scarier than those?
After they went out, Ling Ruo ordered Yang Hai and the others to pack the dinner served from the small kitchen one by one in three-layer carved lacquer food boxes, carefully cover it with oil paper, and then go to the Yangxin Hall.
The rain was still falling, and even though I had an umbrella, my skirt still got a little wet along the way, and my shoes and socks were even soaked by the rain.
Su Peisheng was guarding outside the Cultivation Heart Hall. He saw Ling Ruo coming from a distance and hurriedly greeted him with a thousand invitations. He immediately said, "It's raining, why did the empress come here?"
Ling Ruo smiled lightly and said: "I am here to see the Emperor. Is the Emperor inside?"
"Here, I will inform you right now." Su Peisheng, like Sixi, is Yinzhen's personal eunuch. He knows the importance of Concubine Xi in front of him in the emperor's heart, so how can he dare to neglect it? Why don't you go in?
He came out after a while and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has asked you to come in!"
Ling Ruo nodded with a smile and led Yang Hai in, who was carrying a food box. The Yangxin Hall was brightly lit, with orange-red lights flowing through the hall like running water. Yinzhen was sitting behind a large rosewood desk, writing on a piece of paper.
What is written on the brocade scroll of Huang Ling Jade Scroll?
The yellow silk brocade scroll should be used to write the imperial edict of the imperial court, and the jade scroll is needed to issue the imperial edict that can be passed throughout the country, but I don't know what edict Yinzhen will issue as soon as he returns to the imperial court.
He had to be extremely focused. He didn't even raise his head when he heard Ling Ruo come in. Until he finished writing the last word, he took out the white jade seal with carved dragon buttons from the brocade box next to him, dipped it in cinnabar and reflected it heavily on the brocade scroll.
This was the first time Ling Ruo had seen this jade seal, which represented the supreme power.
After all this was done, a smile appeared on Yinzhen's face, and he raised his hand to call Ling Ruo over, "Come, let's take a look at this will that I personally made."
"Yes." Ling Ruo was a little surprised. Although Yinzhen would let her stay with him when handling state affairs in the past, he had never specifically asked her to see a decree like this.
Moving to the back of the case, the words on the brocade scroll jumped out in front of her eyes, and Ling Ruo also understood why Yinzhen wanted to show her this edict specifically, because it was an imperial edict to spare others for good.
According to what is stated in the brocade scroll, from the day the imperial decree is issued, all happy households, beggar households, lazy people, worldly servants, companions and other good people will have their registrations canceled and their registrations changed to good households and established as good households. All provinces are also ordered to do so.
The governor inspected the states and counties under his jurisdiction to eliminate all those who had lost their registrations, incorporated these people into their civil registrations, and allowed them to marry into other households.
