Su Ziji lowered his eyes and said to the queen: "Sun Chen is naturally relieved to hand over Buhui to the empress. Buhui wants to get closer to you, as long as you don't think we are annoying you."
At present, the most reassuring person in the palace is the queen. With the queen here to protect her, Ye Buhui will not get into trouble at the banquet. He answered with a smile, not formulaic, with a hint of intimacy from a junior.
"Why are you so annoyed?" The queen's smile became more genuine, and she waved to Ye Buhui with a smile: "Good boy, come here, come to this palace."
"Yes." Ye Buhui responded and stood beside the queen.
One of her hands was also held by the queen, and the two of them looked like grandparents.
Everyone looked over and saw that this was also the case. Looking at the two of them together, they gave people a harmonious feeling, with subtle similarities in their expressions.
"As expected of the grandson concubine, the person who will be in charge of the world of Feng Yin Muyi in the future will be deeply in love with the empress!"
"Could it be that the clothes are similar?"
"Not only are the temperament, eyebrows, and expressions all somewhat similar, the so-called phoenix aura, or is this just it?"
Regardless of the secret thoughts of the ladies, Su Ziji looked at the emperor and asked: "Your Majesty, Sun Chen has never seen the inside of the palace. I wonder if I can see it today?"
This request is not too much.
According to the previous rules, I lived in Da Nei.
Now, "Chengyu's fortunate other courtyard" no longer lives in the East Palace, but Su Zi is already a grandson and a dignified prince of a country. Coming to the palace is no different from ministers. Most of them have never been there. This is embarrassing to say.
The first time I heard it I laughed, and the second time I heard it I was shocked.
There is still an essential difference between a grandson and a prince, and this requirement is not excessive.
What the emperor was thinking in his heart was unknown to outsiders. After hearing Su Ziji's request, the emperor seemed to think for a moment and then nodded.
"Oh, I forgot about this. Taking advantage of the festival, you can go around for a while and get to know each other more."
The queen said: "Yu Han."
"Old slave is here." The great eunuch Yu Han came out and responded respectfully.
"Go and see your grandson off." The queen's eyes fell on her, as if giving a casual order.
"yes!"
Yu Han bowed and naturally led Su Ziji out. It was getting late at this time, and the sky was getting dark at some point. As soon as he left the palace, the palace maid saw him coming over. She quietly knelt down and stepped back, all dressed up. Su Ziji and Yu Han
He ignored it and turned around, slowing down his pace as if to watch.
There are lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor, and the rockery is like mist under the light. Walking out of the inner hall for a short distance, there is no one here, and it is also a blind spot from the perspective.
Yu Han pointed around openly, as if to introduce people, but he quickly said their names one by one, and there were more than thirty people here.
"I wonder if Your Highness remembers it. If there is still any ambiguity, I will say it again." Yu Han said, the reason why he did not use a note was that people would know something was wrong as soon as they saw it, but the words were normal and could not be heard from a distance.
"No need, I have already remembered." Su Ziji has an eye and a photographic memory, so naturally it is not difficult to remember these temporarily.
Yu Han came over at this time and took the opportunity to straighten Su Ziji's somewhat messed up robes, and whispered: "These people may be obedient, but it's hard to say for sure."
There are still about thirty people left who may be obedient, not too many, but not too few either.
After all, it has been twenty years since the queen lost her rights. Even if the emperor respects the queen and honors the queen, it is true that she has lost the right to manage palace affairs.
At that time, the Queen was unable to face the Emperor because her only son had been killed, and she was so heartbroken that she could not leave the palace.
On the other hand, it is not a practice of retreating to advance to preserve strength.
If the queen was still holding on to palace affairs at that time, the emperor was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well at night and felt that someone was going to harm him at any time. How could he tolerate the queen all the time?
Not to mention twenty years, but two or three years, the love will probably be gone, and the queen will not survive until now.
"Can we meet everyone today?" Su Ziji asked Yu Han.
Yu Han was startled. Does Taisun want to meet these people at this time? Does he still want to deal with these thirty people in one day?
How is this possible? And if you talk too much, you are dancing on the emperor's head, fearing that you will immediately arouse the emperor's vigilance.
Seeing that Yu Han's face was troubled, Su Ziji guessed that this person was trying to make trouble, so he explained: "There is no need for a formal introduction, just a meeting and a few words."
Yu Han's heart dropped. If everyone could only see each other once and say a few words, this could still be done.
Anyway, Taisun asked the emperor to take a tour around the palace. Someone took Taisun around. Taisun would ask a few words when he met them occasionally. These thirty or so people were mixed in with everyone, inconspicuous, and there was no way they would be there.
suspicion.
"It's easy. You can go to each hall and have a look. I just need to remind you." Yu Han nodded slightly towards Su Ziji, indicating that he agreed. In fact, this was the only time the two of them could talk.
After a while, Yu Han turned the corner again and saw the eunuch bowing outside, as if to respond.
"Eunuch Ji, I have been ordered by the emperor to take my grandson around. I can't be away from you for too long, so I'll trouble you to go." Yu Han took the initiative.
"It's the villain's honor to be able to give the villain a chance to flatter me."
Eunuch Ji looked like a seventh-grade eunuch, but he was actually quite young in the palace. After all, the maximum was only fifth-grade eunuch, so he responded with a smile.
Su Ziji felt bright in his heart and smiled. He turned around the corridor and saw lanterns hanging in every hall and pavilion, shining brightly. He saw a beautiful lantern not far away and pointed at it and asked: "Who lives there?"
?”
The grandson opened his mouth to ask, and Eunuch Ji responded with a smile: "This is Concubine Yu's bedroom, and Concubine Chen also lives in the side courtyard."
"Concubine Yu? She is the mother-in-law of the emperor's youngest son. She is only eleven years old now." Su Ziji thought to himself: "As for Concubine Chen, was she the brightest person in the field just now?"
She is younger than Ye Buhui, but her beauty dominates the audience. Even Ye Buhui kept looking sideways, trying to observe her expression, but according to his own opinion, she has not lost her vitality, but she is still a virgin.
"The old emperor is no longer able to handle human affairs at this age. Why is such a woman kept in the palace and even made a concubine? How about keeping it for a while?"
But in reality, there are too many stunning beauties in the palace. Even if this one is provocative, it is not a big deal. Su Ziji just said, "I just want to see the palace, but when it comes to concubines, I have to avoid suspicion."
, you don’t need to introduce it in too much detail, just take a general look at it.”
After hearing this, the surrounding eunuchs secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Eunuch Ji even agreed repeatedly, his smile even brightening: "Yes, I obey your orders, please."
The group of people walked through an alleyway. To be honest, I don’t know why. In this era, whether palaces or gardens, all had such dark and gloomy alleyways, with high and deep walls, or to prevent secret comings and goings in various palaces and rooms.
?
After going out, Eunuch Ji took him and suddenly said: "Follow this road to the south, which is Yanfu Palace. Yanfu Palace is home to four concubines, big and small, and then there is Yingchun Palace..."
"In front of you is the Hande Courtyard of Yanfu Palace, where Concubine Zhao lives."
Su Ziji knew that among the thirty or so people there were people from the Hande Academy. He nodded, and those who followed him ran to the front to warn them.
When the grandson went out, he walked around solemnly like this. It must not be a casual stroll. Someone in front reminded the lower-ranking concubines and palace officials who could not attend the banquet to stay away and not to rush into the grandson.
Some people also went to the front to check the situation. Although the grandson was just walking around the palace, he still said that rules are indispensable. Even if you know that there is no danger, you have to leave. Otherwise, if something happens, no one will be able to bear it.
It also means to reduce the number of irrelevant women meeting the grandson.
Ever since it was known that the grandson would be passing by or coming in, the people in this palace became busy.
Handeyuan is the residence of Concubine Zhao. Although she is not one of the four concubines, she is just an ordinary concubine, but she is still a concubine. She has been favored in recent years, and the Hamdeyuan where she lives is not too remote.
At this moment, Concubine Zhao is at the queen's place, and there is no master in Hamde Courtyard. The slaves naturally obey the female officials and the eunuchs in charge.
A man called Wei Gonggong was one of the chief eunuchs of Hamde Court.
He and the two eunuchs, together with the nanny in charge and the female officer, ordered the people below to clean up the door immediately. They must not let the grandson make any mistakes when he passed by. Even if he sprained his foot, who knows whether the queen and grandson would be allowed to pass by.
Taking the anger to the head?
When Su Ziji brought people over, several principals of Hande Academy had already led people to kneel down to welcome him.
"Your servant Wei Gui has seen your grandson." As soon as he approached, a group of people came to greet him. The leader was a eunuch with a white face and no beard, and he kowtowed heavily.
"Wei Gui?" Su Ziji looked down condescendingly, with a vague look in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Today is a festive day. There is no need to mobilize troops. I just want to walk around the palace, take a look, and get to know each other."
one time."
"Tell me, how many palaces and courtyards does Yanfu Palace have?"
In the eyes of others, Taisun was just being casual, so Wei Gui immediately responded respectfully: "Your Highness, Yanfu Palace has one hall and six courtyards, namely Chongde Hall, Hamde Courtyard, Wenju Courtyard, Anfu Courtyard, and Qingping Courtyard.
Qingmingyuan, Pingchongyuan.”
"This Hande Courtyard is the residence of Concubine Zhao."
After Su Ziji heard this, he just nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
Without stopping, he took the people and continued on.
Wei Gui was shocked and inexplicable. To be honest, when he heard that the grandson was coming, his heart sank, and the long-lasting panic emerged in his heart.
Although the current greeting process was not revealed, he had been thinking about it for a long time and thought a lot about what he would say later. Unexpectedly, Taisun really just asked a casual question and passed by without saying much to him at all.
"Did the Queen really give up on us? Or did she not talk to her grandson at all?"
I should have been happy, but for some reason, I felt a sense of loss and fear.
After leaving Hande Courtyard, he walked along the corridor and passed by the rockery and flower palace. Taisun just smiled and looked at it, his eyes wandering, he didn't ask any questions, and remained silent for a long time.
"hateful!"
These people on the list of thirty people have been inspected by the Queen and are relatively safe people. But in fact, the first Wei Gui has already had contacts with the King of Qi.
Although they are not very close contacts, the fact that they are able to communicate with each other means that they have developed some small thoughts. If there was a reason before, when he returned to Beijing and was recognized, he did not change his mind.
If you are really loyal to the Queen, how could you not know that contacting the King of Qi after the Queen's grandson comes back is a choice of betrayal?
