After reading this decree, a smile appeared on Ling Ruo's lips. She took a step back and saluted Yinzhen solemnly, "With this decree from the emperor, all the noble people in the world will be grateful to the emperor for his kindness throughout their lives!"
In the past, jianmin could only intermarry with jianmin. Even if they gave birth to children, they were still jianmin. They could not study or take imperial examinations, and their status could not be changed from generation to generation.
Yinzhen raised the corner of his mouth, helped Ling Ruo up and said: "I will definitely do what I promised you. Shi Sheng saved you and allowed you to continue to be with me. Then I will use the will of 'spending kindness to do good'."
To repay this kindness."
"No matter what, the emperor's move has done a great thing to benefit the people." Looking at this decree, Ling Ruo also thought of Shi Sheng. She wondered what was going on with Xuan'er now and whether he was married.
, I always feel guilty when I think of these two people who lost their loved ones due to their own injuries. Now that I have this decree, I can feel a little relieved.
After putting the jade seal back into the brocade box, Yinzhen said: "I have drafted the decree, but it is not so easy to implement it. Not to mention a place as big as the Qing Dynasty, but also the officials who attach the most importance to hierarchical rules in the court.
Once you learn about my decree, you may not agree to it. Just wait and see, tomorrow I will take turns to present the details again. But..." Yinzhen stretched his body, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
"They submit what is theirs, and I do what is mine."
Ling Ruo smiled and said nothing. She had been with Yinzhen for many years and was quite clear about his character. Whatever he thought was right and beneficial to the country and the people, he would do it even if everyone opposed it.
Yes, this was the case when we first collected the money owed by the Ministry of Accounts.
"I don't know about the affairs of the court, but there is one thing that I know the emperor should do." Ling Ruohan said with a smile.
"Oh? What is it?" Yinzhen looked at Ling Ruo curiously. The next moment, his hand was held by Ling Ruo, "It is true that eating and government affairs are important, but the emperor's dragon body is also important."
Yinzhen smiled hoarsely. After hearing what she said, he really felt a little hungry. He immediately walked down with her. Yang Hai took the food out of the food box one by one and called Su Peisheng to come in and serve a plate of fresh vegetables.
Stir-fried, a plate of beef fillet stir-fried with white mushrooms, a plate of diced peach kernel meat, a plate of Sanxian meatballs and a jar of braised pheasant shredded bird's nest.
These dishes were all exquisite and delicious, which aroused the appetite. Yinzhen quickly finished the bowl of rice. Seeing that he was still not satisfied, Ling Ruo asked Yang Hai to serve another bowl, but Yinzhen said: "No need.
Sorry, I can’t eat too much now, otherwise my stomach will feel uncomfortable and I won’t have to sleep at night.”
"When did the emperor start to feel sick to his stomach?" Ling Ruo clearly remembered that before she left the palace, Yinzhen did not have this problem.
Su Peisheng was twisting a piece of face towel when he heard Ling Ruo's words and said smoothly: "My Majesty, you don't know that during the period when you are not in the palace, the emperor is worried about the safety of your Majesty and cannot eat or sleep well. This meal is often served as it is.
Serve it as it is and can't take more than a few bites."
"Talk too much!" Yinzhen scolded Ling Ruo displeasedly and said, "It's not in the way, it's just a minor problem. Just pay attention to it."
"It's my concubine's fault. My concubine is willful and has made the emperor worried." There was a trace of guilt in Ling Ruo's eyes.
Yinzhen held Ling Ruo's hand and said: "I told you it's okay, but I still keep mentioning the past. Let the past be done. Besides, I'm already over forty years old, and I can't compare to when I was young. I will always have problems.
Problems of this kind and that cannot be avoided no matter what."
Ling Ruo took the twisted face towel from Su Peisheng and wiped Yinzhen's face and hands carefully, "The emperor has a bad stomach. From now on, you must eat three meals a day on time. No matter how busy you are with the court, you must not forget it. Also,
..." She raised her eyes, with lingering affection in her eyes, "I promise to the emperor that I will never be willful again."
"I know." These three simple words made the two of them look at each other and smile, and their hearts came closer at this moment.
After resting for a long time, Yinzhen returned to the desk to review the rest of the excerpts, while Ling Ruo polished his ink for him. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down from the night sky. The rain fell behind, and there was a faint dull thunder.
From the clouds, dazzling lightning flashed across the dark sky like a snake from time to time.
When the thunder was the loudest, Sixi walked in, holding a gold-lacquered tray in his hand. On it were plaques tied with green silk ribbons. Each plaque had the name of a concubine written on it.
This is the green-headed card in the palace. Whichever one the emperor turns over will be his concubine. Every night, someone will be sent to the imperial palace for Yinzhen to choose.
Si Xi moved the tray forward, lowered his head and said, "Please, Your Majesty, turn over the cards."
Yinzhen raised his head and said, "There's no need to turn over the page. Let's be Concubine Xi tonight."
This result was expected by Si Xi. Concubine Xi had been away from the palace for many days and finally came back. The emperor naturally wanted to be gentle with her, but the empresses in the palace were disappointed.
After Si Xi withdrew, Yinzhen continued to review for about half an hour before he finished reviewing the folded papers. He put down his pen and flexed his wrist and said, "Fortunately, I have Yunxiang to help me sort out these days when I leave the palace."
Otherwise, if they are all put together, I will not be able to finish them for days and nights."
"Prince Yi has outstanding talents and is loyal to the emperor. He is really a rare capable minister. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Prince Yi for a long time." Ling Ruo will not forget the days when he first entered the palace, Yunxiang said.
She was one of the few people who treated her well. Even though she was just a chajian princess at the time, he suddenly called her sister-in-law.
"Yunxiang often asks if you are well. During the days when you were not in the palace, he came to bother me a lot." Even so, Yinzhen's eyes were full of warmth. In the Tian family, he could
It is not easy to find a brother who can be completely relied on. Therefore, he cherishes it very much. Not only did he make Yunxiang the prince as soon as he came to the throne, but he also relies on him everywhere. When he left the palace, he relied on the entire Qing Dynasty to "change
When he enters the palace again, I will ask him to pay his respects to you, my sister-in-law."
Ling Ruo smiled sympathetically and said, "You are not joking. Your Majesty, please don't forget today's promise."
"You girl, when did I forget my promise to you? Look at the decree to abolish the imperial membership. I was busy drafting it as soon as I had free time." Yinzhen looked angry, but the corners of his mouth were suppressed.
He couldn't help but keep rising. He hadn't felt this relaxed for a long time. Sure enough, there was only one Niu Hulu Lingruo in this world.
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, and I deserve a thousand sins..." Ling Ruo knew that Yinzhen was not really angry, so she joked. However, before she said the last word "death", she was stopped by Yin Zhen.
Zhen covered his mouth tightly, "Remember, you are never allowed to say that word in front of me, I don't like to hear it."
She was so touched by his concern that she pulled down his generous and warm hand and said softly: "Yes, if I don't tell you, I won't tell you in this lifetime."
