Wangfu Shenyuan

"The empress is so busy." He Qingcheng was dressed in court clothes and was ushered in by the palace servants. He prostrated himself on the ground and said, "See the empress, your empress is a thousand years old."

After Xia An went to help and stepped out, he suddenly remembered Fang Xiatong's words, stopped, and told the palace people to go out, leaving only Caiyue to wait on him.

After the palace people dispersed, Xia An smiled and helped He Qingcheng up: "Master He, please get up."

He Qingcheng looked Xia An up and down, and said with a smile, "Okay, I've made a lot of progress. It seems that the position of empress is really for training people."

Where do you exercise.Although the queen's throne is extremely high, there is still room for tolerance in this high place.Xia An stuck out her tongue quietly, and told Caiyue to prepare tea.

Xia An sorted out the account books he had read and handed them to He Qingcheng, and after giving many instructions, he turned around and sat down at the main seat to drink tea.

"The tea is cold, let this servant bring me another cup." Caiyue pursed her lips and backed away.

He Qingcheng said: "Your cautious temperament has not changed, don't worry, how dare a humble minister cause trouble for the emperor at such a critical moment."

"I don't understand government affairs, but the business of shops alone is troublesome enough. Mr. He still has to work in the household department. It's hard work." Xia An nodded slightly, and said to Caiyue who was serving tea: "He My lord has worked hard, go and prepare some incense for relieving fatigue, and take it away with lord He."

He Guanshi got up and knelt down: "Thank you Queen for the reward."

"No one else, get up quickly."

After sending off steward He, the palace people came to ask where to have lunch.Xia Anfang felt that the sun was noon, so he asked the palace staff to decorate the pavilion in the lake, and enjoy the good time while the summer is not strong.

The beauty is.

"Where can the emperor have lunch?"

Someone in the palace told Caiyue about Rongli eating and resting, and they were waiting for Xia An to ask.This is something that Rongli personally ordered. He felt that Xia An sent the palace servants to ask questions several times a day, and he would be anxious to wait for the answer, so he simply arranged for the palace servants to inform Caiyue of his actions. When the time comes, if Xia An When asked, it's better to answer immediately, so as not to worry about Xia An.

"I've used it. The emperor is still thinking about the meal with several ministers. He is afraid that you will be anorexic at noon, so he asked someone to prepare sour plum soup for you to appetize."

Xia An nodded and didn't say much.But he understands Rongli's intention to arrange Caiyue to serve him.Although Wei Huang is good, he has someone in his heart and cannot take care of him all the time.The four servants are also burdened with tasks, after all, they cannot be like ordinary servants.Caiyue knows medical skills, is also smart, and is the most understanding. She knows what to do in the blink of an eye from the master.

With her and Weihuang Xia'an, it wouldn't mean that she didn't even have a personal assistant.

Before reaching the pavilion in the lake, another palace official hurriedly came to report: "Master Fu of Shande Palace asks to see you."

Ah Fu was seriously injured on the way to escort him to Beijing. If it wasn't for the old genius doctor's excellent medical skills, I'm afraid that he would really die that time.Afterwards, he has been lying on the bed to recover from his injuries. It is said that he can't even get out of the bed. Why did he come to his palace today?

"Help me over quickly." Xia An also greeted him back.

"See Queen."

"Get up quickly, the injury on my leg is still not healed." Xia An also ignored any etiquette, and hurried over to support Ah Fu. "Bring the chair over here."

"Thank you, Queen, for your seat." Ah Fu is now wearing a silver-white robe with dark cloud patterns, and his hair is neatly tied up. Although his complexion is not very good, he looks much brighter and more energetic than when he was in the palace.

Xia An asked: "Why don't you send someone to tell me, I'll just go and see you. If there's something important, you have to come here by yourself."

"Queen Qi, my minister's health is already very good, as a foreign minister, it is really not suitable to live in the palace for a long time. This minister wants to leave the palace as soon as possible."

Xia An frowned: "When?" Ah Fu left, and he had even fewer friends in the palace.But what Ah Fu said is indeed reasonable, it is indeed inconvenient for foreign ministers to live in the palace.

"Immediately. Weichen is here to say goodbye to you this time."

"I'm leaving soon?" Xia An roughly understood, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't, I have to tell Rong Li, you know, he is busy now, so I don't want to disturb you. When he comes back at night, I will talk to him , and prepare some things for you to go out of the palace, the palace also has to be fully prepared, where to live, what to eat, who to serve, all need time to arrange."

"No need. I can take care of everything myself, and I hope you will let me go." Ah Fu waved his sleeves, revealing his annoyance.

Xia An had no choice but to persuade: "It's not that I don't let you go. You are my good brother. If I don't go to you, can I go to the general manager who always troubles me?"

"Then why every time you go to Shande Palace, you praise him and overwhelm me?"

Xia An said: "It's because of being towards you that I make the manager happy every time. Can't you see that the manager is a peacock-tempered person, you always go against him, he will never let go of his figure and You show your kindness. But he is not the kind of unreasonable person, as long as you lie down first, he will not twist his neck and ignore people."

"Do I have to be suppressed by him all the time?" Ah Fu was dissatisfied.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. "Being oppressed", I don't know who is the real oppressed person.Xia An smiled and said: "Rongli and I also saw that it was not easy for you, so when we appointed you as an official, we deliberately made your official position two levels higher than his, so that he can't bully you too much."

"Thank you, Majesty and Empress, for your painstaking efforts." Ah Fu said stubbornly, "It's just that I can't bear to live with him in the same palace. I must leave the palace today, and I hope you will let me go."

"I really don't know how the two of you saw each other in the first place. With such a bad temper, you would be annoyed when you meet, so how did you notice each other in the first place?" Xia An sighed.

Ah Fu was startled, and asked softly: "Would you like to hear about Weichen and his past."

"Naturally." Xia An couldn't wish for it.He had asked Rongli earlier, but Rongli had no impression of Ah Fu in the past. It was only after Xu Qingrui told Rongli that he hated Ah Fu that Rongli knew that the two had developed a youthful relationship. .

"In the third year when I entered the palace as a young guard, the palace bought a group of servants, young boys who were going to be eunuchs. I was in charge of guarding them and teaching them some rules along the way. Qing Rui was only in his early eight years old. , about the same age as the Seventh Prince at that time. He was a young master from a rich family. He was abducted by human traffickers and sold into the palace after changing hands several times. He has a big temper, often cries and smashes things. I am afraid that he will be beaten by the Grand Duke. I often coax him in private to want to open more, and even give him small stoves to supplement his health."

"He never gave me a good face, even if he ate the roast chicken I brought, he never thanked me, and even called me a 'dog slave'. But later, when he saw me practicing swords, he changed his mind Temper, obediently learn martial arts from me, although it is still inevitable to take advantage of some lip service, but I can see that he treats me differently from other people. Sometimes, when I am tired from duty, he will take the initiative to help me Clean the room, of course you have to say something mean to me."

"The one month or so passed really quickly. When the knife master thought he could use the knife, the eunuch took them all away. He was obviously afraid at that time, but he refused to shed tears. He just looked at me with his eyes. It seemed like I was going to cut him down. I couldn't bear him to cut off the roots like this, and went to bribe a few eunuchs he knew. But at that time, a batch of valuable calligraphy and paintings happened to be lost in the palace. I dare not accept it."

"Just when I thought he was going to become a eunuch, by chance, he was rescued by a chief eunuch and promoted to be a young bodyguard. It happened that he was assigned to be under my command. However, because I helped him Watching the eunuchs arrest him, they hold grudges against me. Apart from being on duty with the Seventh Prince, they are learning martial arts from me, no matter day or night, training or rest, they never pay more attention to me."

"Just when my heart was cold, I once violated the taboo of my superiors and was about to be executed with a stick. After he found out, he begged the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince was kind, and immediately asked the empress to forgive me. I never It was only then that I realized that the kid was just having a bad temper, and he was thinking of my good in his heart."

Xia An couldn't help interjecting: "Since you were so good back then, Rongli followed together when he left the palace. Why..."

Ah Fu lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not because of the father and son of the Tian family. When the former emperor threw the emperor (the seventh prince) into the river, I tied the emperor. When Qing Rui was going to save someone, I also stopped him." I didn't let him save people until the late emperor left. He probably thought I was ungrateful, greedy for life and afraid of death, and his hatred for me has been out of control ever since."

"When the emperor went out of the palace, I was not a close guard. Normally, I didn't have to follow me out of the palace, but the emperor asked me to take me away. I'm afraid it was his idea. After the falling into the water incident, he got very close to the emperor. He is almost the second master in the palace. Naturally, my situation is not much better, he no longer takes care of me, but deliberately treats me badly, asks me to work in Si'en Academy, and makes things difficult for me from time to time."

"So that's the case, it's quite different from what I thought." Xia An said with a smile.

Ah Fu raised his eyebrows: "What is the queen thinking?"

Xia An said: "I thought you two were sworn enemies, you love each other but you hate each other."

"You think too much." Ah Fu concluded.

Xia An murmured: "Just because you tied up your benefactor, you are hated so much by the Chief Manager. How much temper you want to tolerate, he didn't even retaliate against you, but the Chief Manager never forgot."

A Fu said: "I'm afraid the emperor can't remember me at all. I am just a slave who obeys orders. The emperor is the master, so naturally he doesn't take us seriously. We are just tools for activities." Forget it, but found that I made a slip of the tongue.Hastily stood up, bowed his head and explained: "I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive the empress."

"It's okay, I can understand what you mean." Xia An asked Ah Fu, who was unsteady to stand, to sit down quickly. "It's just that if you want to leave, you really have to ask Rongli. But don't worry, Rongli doesn't dare to help the manager. Since the bond between the two of you started from Rongli, let Rongli and I Let me untie it for you.
