The rise of the president in the harem
Chapter 59
Qiao hugged the tree and cried about it, Qi Sheath imagined it for a while, and felt dumbfounded, the probability of being drunk and crazy was more likely.However, why those Fanbang brothers are struggling to eat mooncakes with the emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival is worth Qi Qiao's attention.
Speaking of which, if Gao Yue hadn't been favored now, Qi Sheath would not be interested in who the emperor favored at all.He himself absolutely does not want to live with any man. This has been deeply ingrained in his concept ever since his father was tortured to death by that man from the Qi family.Because of this, Qi Sheath hates all men in this world, and will not give any special treatment to someone just because he is the emperor.
But now it's different, he saw Gao Yue and the emperor come together, as Gao Yue's loyal friend, he hoped that Gao Yue would be happy in his heart, of course, this happiness should be based on the fact that the emperor can clean himself up and don't make a move Farewell love makes Gao Yue sad.
But Qi Sheath also understands that it may be much more difficult for an emperor to do this than for ordinary men.But then again, if the emperor really did this for Gao Yue, then he wouldn't have to worry about Gao Yue.
Right now, in Qi Sheath's view, whether the emperor can withstand this test is still open to question, so those concubines in Fanbang want to seduce the emperor to eat mooncakes together——now that Qi Sheath knows, it is inevitable that he will take care of Gao Yue.
So he asked Xiao Jiuzi again: "Why do those monks in Fanbang want to eat moon cakes with His Majesty?"
Xiao Jiuzi said: "Shang Baiyu said that it is the custom of their Qiandao country that mooncakes are eaten in pairs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they will not be eaten alone, so he threatened that His Majesty will accompany him to eat this year."
"Oh," Qi Sheath thought that Bai Yu Mingxuan was probably trying to find an excuse to fight for favor, but: "Why does Qiao Liang care about this matter?"
Xiao Jiuzi flattened his mouth, as if he was wilting all of a sudden, and said: "My husband didn't want to care about it at first, but today I don't know what happened, I went to Yihexuan in the morning, and I don't know what to say in the room with Bai Yushang. What, the wine order started after that, and he didn't let me follow in, he just let that little zhanzi wait in the room!"
Qi Sheath didn't ask any more questions, thinking that she had to take the time to inform Gao Yue about this matter, then settled Qiao Huan, and led Little Six back to her room.
At this time, Zi Shi has long passed.
Since Gao Yue and the emperor were together, it was the first time that the two little eunuchs were guarding the gate for them.In terms of experience, there is still a big gap between them and Hu and Zhang. At least when they hear some strange noises, the tolerance of these two young eunuchs is completely inferior to that of the two old eunuchs. of--
"...Are you coming or not?!"——It was Gao Yue's unbearable low growl.
"..."
The emperor didn't know what to say, followed by Gao Yue's high-pitched cry...
With a blushing face, Xiao Fuzi grabbed Xiao Xingzi, pointed at the window in disbelief, and whispered, "Did you not close it?"
Xiao Xingzi's face was also very red, but she pretended to be calm, and said, "I checked twice, and they are all locked up tightly!"
"Then, this—" Xiao Fuzi was at a loss and panicked, "What should we do? Should we stay away?"
Xiao Xingzi was also hesitant, but what if they couldn't hear the message from inside?I had no choice but to think of an expedient strategy, and said: "Just cover your ears for a while and bear it!"
Little Fuzi: ...
Therefore, outside the main bedroom of Jingyang Palace, two little eunuchs could be seen from a long distance away, covering their ears and looking at each other.
Fortunately, an hour later, the emperor's summons came from inside, which freed the hands and ears of these two inexperienced 'keeper' eunuchs.
The next day, when Gao Yue woke up, the industrious emperor Zhou Feiqi had already gone to court.Gao Yue hugged the quilt and turned over, quietly thinking about what happened yesterday, and decided not to sit still, he wanted to go out for a walk to see if he could attract some more 'snakes, rats, rats'!
Unfortunately, he just had breakfast, and Qi Sheath came to look for him again.Gao Yue originally wanted to ask Qi Sheath to go out for a walk together, but after hearing Qi Sheath tell the ins and outs of Qiao Huan's drunkenness last night, he changed his mind again.
He asked Qi Sheath: "Xiao Jiuzi really said that?"
"Well," Qi Sheath said, "I think it's not easy for Bai Yu Mingxuan, you better be careful."
Gao Yue said: "But have you ever thought about why Qiao Huan tried to get drunk and ordered him to drink? These years, you and Qiao Huan have been together for a long time, so you should know him better than me? Do you think he is the kind of Are you eager to compete for favor?"
Qi Sheath thought about it seriously, and said: "He cares more about His Majesty's face than his love for His Majesty. So, you mean that there is another reason for Qiao Huan to stop Bai Yuming from competing for favor in the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Gao Yue nodded, that's what he thought.With Qiao Huan's personality, it has nothing to do with other concubines competing for favor. Anyway, His Majesty does not favor Qiao Huan. There is no need for him to sacrifice his stomach for the benefit of others.Therefore, there must be something hidden in it, which he can't tell anyone.
"Is he sober?" Gao Yue asked again.
"When I came out just now, I saw Xiao Jiuzi carrying water into the house, so I guess I must have woken up." Qi Sheath said.
"Then let's go and see him together. You don't know how wonderful the Jingyang Palace play was yesterday." Gao Yue stood up, and took Qi sheath to the lover's place in the backyard.
The two of them walked ahead, and Xing, Fu and Xiaoliuzi automatically followed behind them.
Since Gao Yue passed through this beloved man's house, he has not lived in it for a few days.He lives in Qi Sheath's original room now, and Qiao Huan's room probably lived in the original Uncle Lin Qing's when he was his lover.
It was early autumn, and there were a few pots of red jasmine flowers in the yard. Originally, it was nothing to put a few pots of exotic plants in the palace. Gao Yue didn't pay attention at first, but when he passed by those pots of flowers, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept away. There were a few red dots moving fast on the ground, Gao Yue hurriedly bent down to look, it turned out to be a few red spiders, at this time these red spiders were running away quickly for some reason!
Gao Yue straightened up and stood still. Seeing this, Qi Sheath asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Is this jasmine from the palace? The red color is bright, and it's rare." Gao Yue said while thinking about these spiders.
Qi Sheath glanced at the flowers, and said: "Our palace is all native white. I have two pots in my room, which were sent by the Household Affairs Office a few days ago. These pots were brought back by Qiao Liangren from Yihexuan. Yes. I heard that I, Bai Yu Mingxuan, gave him a gift in return."
"Return?" Gao Yue frowned slightly, "What did he give Bai Yu Mingxuan?"
"The food in Jingyang Palace." Qi Sheath said angrily.
Gao Yue laughed.
The two of them were talking in the yard, but they didn't deliberately whisper, probably they heard it from inside the house.After a while, Xiao Jiuzi closed the curtain, and Qiao Huan bent over and walked out.When he saw Gao Yue, he smiled, but the smile fell on Gao Yue's eyes, and somehow he felt a little more uncomfortable, probably because Qiao Huan looked at Gao Yue a little more dodgyly.
"Gao Biyan, why are you here?" Qiao Huan's attitude was still enthusiastic. If it wasn't for the timid look in his eyes just now, Gao Yue might not have been able to see that he was different from usual.
"I heard that you were drunk last night, so I came to see you." Gao Yue said.
Qiao Huan hurriedly said: "Then sit inside quickly, I'm sober now, alas, I'm sorry to bother you."
Several people entered the house.
Qiao Huan asked Xiao Jiuzi to serve tea, and specifically pointed out: "I brewed the two boxes of green heart that I just got two days ago. That tea is the best thing."
Qi Sheath said: "Yihexuan gave it to you again? Why do you treat everything they give you as a treasure?"
Qiao Huan said: "You don't understand that. I got those two boxes of tea after grinding one of them. It was given to me by Tuobayu. It's rare for him to give someone something. You don't know." , I have been to Yihexuan for so long, but I have never seen Tuobayu leave the room."
"Oh," Qi Sheath continued to tease him, "You can still get tea if you don't come out, it seems that you have been rushing to post a lot?"
"Why do you say it's so ugly? I just want to make friends with people sincerely, and they can naturally feel it."
Gao Yue waited for the two of them to say the same thing, then turned around and said to Xiao Xingzi and other eunuchs: "You all go out first."
The little eunuchs immediately understood that the masters had something private to say, so they saluted and retreated one after another.
Gao Yue waited for Xiao Xingzi to close the outside door before speaking. The first sentence was aimed at Qiao Huan, and said: "The chef of Jingyang Palace died yesterday."
Qiao Huan was turning her teacup with her head down. Hearing this, her shoulders trembled slightly. When she raised her face, her expression was extremely surprised, and she said, "Did you die in the prison?"
"He died in the small kitchen of Jingyang Palace. Before he died, he left a blood book. Guess what it was written in?" Gao Yue stared at Qiao Huan, and said calmly, "You said you forced him to death!"
Qiao Huan shook her hand and knocked over the teacup, the glass of water dripped down the edge of the table to the floor, and the cup rolled on the table for a while.
The room was silent for a moment, as if only the movement of dust was left.
No one speaks anymore.
Qi Sheath was also in extreme shock when she heard Gao Yue say this.
And Qiao Huan was obviously more preoccupied, and the surprise only flashed at the beginning.
Gao Yue glanced back and forth between the two of them, and finally fell on Qiao Huan.He is waiting for his next words.
After a while, the corners of Qiao Huan's mouth twitched nervously, and he squeezed out a smile as if he was trying his best. He looked at Gao Yue, tried his best to put on an expression of hearing a joke, and said, "How do you say that?" ?! I just used him to cook a few times these days, and I didn’t take advantage of him at all. If I gave him another money, this would kill him? Gao Biyan, you must check it out!”
Gao Yue didn't speak, lowered her eyes, but raised her hand to straighten the cup on the table, and gently placed it in front of Qiao Huan.
There was only a layer of bottom water left in the cup, but Qiao Huan didn't even look at it, grabbed the cup and sipped it—there was another loud sound in the room, but the sound fell to several people's ears at this time, and it seemed a bit too harsh That's all.
Seeing him like this, Gao Yue just smiled.
But Qi Sheath couldn't bear it any longer. He knew that Gao Yue's words must be based on a basis. Then choose to believe him.So, he asked angrily, "You didn't force him, why did he say it was you?"
"How do I know?" Qiao Huan was probably irritated by Qi Sheath's attitude, and he slammed the finally empty cup on the table, with a bang, splashing a few drops of tea remaining on the table.
Gao Yue saw that Qi Sheath was unstoppable and angry, so she quietly patted his hand under the table, and then said to Qiao Huan: "Actually, I don't believe his words either. After all, he is a remnant of rebels, even if he says What can win the trust of whom? However, Qiao Liang, you really need to be more careful in your actions in the future, otherwise you don’t know when you will meet someone like Chef again. When the time comes, you will treat each other with kindness. You will be bitten back again, and at that time, who can save you? Don’t you think so?”
Qiao Huan hurriedly said, "I remember what Bi Yanjun taught me."
"Well, then you should rest more, after all the hangover is the most uncomfortable time." Gao Yue smiled at Qiao Huan.
Qiao Huan also laughed, but lowered her eyelids, as if she didn't dare to meet Gao Yue's eyes right now.
Gao Yue stood up, and before leaving the door, she instructed Qiao Huan again: "The fragrance of jasmine is faint, but the palace uses local white. Although your few pots of red are rare, they are not orthodox. You should return them."
Qiao Huan quickly agreed again.
Gao Yue and Qi Sheath had just left the gate of the lover's house, and Qiao Huan instructed Xiao Jiuzi behind him, "You return these two potted flowers to Bai Yu for me, and go now!"
Qi Sheath glanced back, and saw Xiao Jiuzi lift up the two potted flowers, and there was an 'excited' expectation on his face.
And Gao Yue didn't look back at all, and had already gone several steps.Qi Sheath hurried to catch up, and asked in a low voice, "Did the chef really say those things?"
Gao Yue nodded, and asked Qi Sheath, "Do you think Qiao Huan knows about this?"
Qi Sheath thought about it carefully for a moment, and said: "To be honest, I didn't see it, but he doesn't seem quite right."
Gao Yue said: "These two days, you should pay more attention to him."
"By the way, why did you ask him to return the flower?"
Gao Yue said: "You will know in a while. Let's go, follow me to the Imperial Medical Office."
Gao Yue was going to the Imperial Medical Office, of course he was looking for Taoist Master Zixian.
At this time, Zixian was leading a group of imperial physicians to discuss medicine, which was a new rule he set for the imperial physicians after he took office.In fact, these things were all his daily homework when he was studying medicine with Taoist Chi Yun, and now they are just copied to the imperial physician's office, but he did not expect that the imperial physicians were full of praise for this, and a group of imperial physicians discussed medical records together. It's really more beneficial than the previous kind of self-contained and hard work!
As soon as Gao Yue came, Zi Xian naturally gave him priority first, and immediately came out to pick him up, but Gao Yue whispered to him: "Master Daoist, I have something to tell you in private."
Zixian brought him and Qi Sheath into his duty room, and as soon as he entered, Gao Yue asked, "Does the Taoist priest know a kind of red spider?"
"Red spider?" Zixian frowned, and asked, "Where did Mr. Bi Yan see this kind of spider?"
Gao Yue said: "On the two pots of jasmine flowers kept by my beloved."
"Moding red spider, alternating red and white, is a sign of great danger." Taoist Zi Xian's expression was extremely serious for a moment.
Gao Yue thought for a while and said, "What about the red Jasmine?"
"Red?" Zixian was a little surprised, and asked, "Where is the red jasmine in the palace?"
Gao Yue then told about Baiyu Mingxuan Zengqiao Huanjasmine.
Taoist Master Zixian nodded after listening, and said: "If this is the case, it is normal. I heard from my master that there is an island in the East China Sea called Zhu Mo. According to legend, a red bird landed on this island. , Later, probably due to the incompatibility of water and fire, the Dragon King came out of the water to fight with it. The vermillion bird lost its claws, and the Dragon King went to look at it. The blood of the beast sprinkled on the island, dyeing the whole island red. The color of red and purple, this kind of red jasmine should come from that island. Presumably, it is probably the seed that Baiyu Shangren brought into the palace, and then he planted it himself."
"What are the medicinal effects of red spider and red jasmine? Is it poisonous?" This is what Gao Yue is most concerned about.
Zixian sighed: "It's hard to say about the toxicity. Pindao has not seen these two things with his own eyes so far, but Master once said that the scarlet spider is a sign of evil, and it is only a sign of my Taoism."
"Is it so mysterious?" Gao Yue was a little helpless, and asked again: "I still think that the Taoist master is well-informed, so he must know why this red spider doesn't fall on other flowers, but why did he find this red jasmine?"
"This..." Daoist Zixian smiled, suddenly remembered what he heard yesterday, and asked Gao Yue in a low voice: "Bi Yanjun, Pindao heard that you were attacked by a snake yesterday?"
Gao Yue thought he was going to gossip, but he didn't care, so he said, "Yes, I was pounced on by a bright green snake, but it didn't pounce on me, and was chopped off by Your Majesty."
But Zi Xian said: "That boa constrictor is extremely rare. I have already taken the snake gall and made medicinal materials to fill the medicine storehouse of the imperial physician's office. Do you know what kind of snake it is?"
"Where do I know the specific species? I call it the flower-eating snake. I infer this in private. The snake seems to feed on flowers." When Gao Yue said this, Qi Sheath listened and said: " Then why would he attack you? Are you not a flower?"
Zixian said: "Although he is not a flower, he is just fascinated, and he still has the fragrance of flowers on his body." Then he turned to Gao Yue and said, "Mr. Bi Yan expected that, the snake does feed on flowers. But it is not called a flower-eating snake. , is a totem of Jiuli Yao's totem 'Little Qinglong', because it has a white tail, it is also called Qinglongbai, which is the holy product among snakes. One can protect against all poisons."
When he said this, his face was full of spirits, he looked like a treasure hunter who had finally found a huge treasure, that kind of satisfaction, anyone who saw it would be moved.And now, he is sharing his joy with Gao Yue.
Gao Yue was naturally happy for him when he heard the news.But Zixian's words gave Gao Yue another reason, he asked: "Since it is Jiu Liyao's sacred snake, why did it come to Da Zhou's palace?"
"This..." Daoist Zixian didn't seem to have considered this point. He was asked by Gao Yue at this time, but he also found something unreasonable. After thinking for a while, he was not very sure: "Maybe it is During the great tribute period, some nobles from Jiuli Yao came to Beijing and brought this kind of snake, but they didn't catch it?"
Gao Yue shook her head, then turned around and whispered to Qi Sheath, "Go and check Xiangoujuanjuan's mother clan later to see if her mother is from Jiuliyao."
"it is good."
Seeing that Gao Yue was about to leave, Zi Xian quickly chased him and said, "Bi Yan-jun, if it's convenient for you, can you take Pindao to see those red jasmines and red spiders?"
Gao Yue said: "The flower belongs to Yihexuan. If you have the opportunity to go to Yihexuan for consultation in the future, you will naturally see it. It is inconvenient for me to take you to see it now."
Master Zixian: ...
Hearing Gao Yue's tone, Qi Sheath couldn't help pursing her lips in joy.
When the two came out of the imperial physician's office, Qi Sheath asked Gao Yue: "I didn't expect that even Taoist Master Zixian didn't know whether the red jasmine and red spider were poisonous or not. What should we do now?"
Gao Yue said: "Just wait and see. I believe Taoist Zixian should be able to figure out the details of the flower and the spider in a few days. Didn't you see it?"
Qi Sheath: "? What do you see?"
Gao Yue: "He is just a baby with a hundred thousand reasons!"
"Pfft!" Qi Sheath couldn't help it, and burst out laughing at Gao Yue's description.
When Gao Yue came out this time, the original purpose was to "lead the snake out of the hole", so he was not in a hurry to go back at the moment, and went to the Royal Garden for a stroll with Qi Sheath. I went west and wandered from west to east, but I didn't meet a single concubine. It seems that the people in the harem also understand that committing crimes against the wind is really not a wise move.
If you don't show your head, then don't show your head. Gao Yue saw that it was almost lunch time, so he went back to Jingyang Palace.On the way, he asked Qi Sheath: "Do you know how the concubine wants to call her family into the palace, how should she go through the formalities?"
"Oh, this seems to be a unified report to the Yonghe Palace. Concubine Shu Gui will report to the Queen Mother for permission, and Eunuch Li will make arrangements for it." Qi Sheath said, wondering: "Do you want to see your family?"
Gao Yue nodded and said: "Jin Dian is coming soon, I want to take them into the palace for two days."
"Is there only one cousin in your family in Pingjing?" Qi Sheath said, "I heard that your cousin has gone to Jicheng to take up his post."
"Yeah, my cousin has gone to work. Auntie is a woman in the capital, so it is inevitable that she will be outnumbered. I will take her into the Palace Master for two days, so that other people will not look down on her." Gao Yue said, the real purpose But only he and the Queen Mother knew.
Qi Sheath sighed, and said, "I think it's better for you to talk to the Queen Mother directly about this matter."
Gao Yue:?
"You don't forget, do you?" Qi Sheath looked at him with amused and distressed eyes, and said, "Two years ago, when you wanted to see your family, Concubine Shu directly lost your application post. The eunuch of the slave house was picked up, and half the people in the harem laughed at you at that time, and Concubine Shu later paid you a special compensation for this matter!"
"Then I'll go talk to the Queen Mother directly." Gao Yue said.
It turned out to be this matter, no wonder the last time I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu seemed to have done something wrong in her words!But this kind of thing can't be happy for anyone. When I think of the paper with my name and family name written on it, it's polluted. Didn't mean it?Therefore, it was completely normal for the original owner not to talk to her.
When the two were about to return to Jingyang Palace, they happened to meet Liang Xiao who was changing shifts for dinner.When Gao Yue saw him, her eyes lit up immediately, she quickly walked a few steps, called him, and said, "Ruijing, I suddenly remembered yesterday that you said you were going to give me a formula, but I haven't seen any sign yet!"
Liang Xiao performed the palace ceremony for him, and when he heard him call his own words, he felt warm in his heart, and said: "I almost broke the formula, seeing that you are too busy these days, I didn't take care of it for you!" He said He took out a blue brocade brochure from his bosom, opened it and handed it to Gao Yue. Afraid that Gao Yue might not understand, he pointed out: "This formula will work better with these moves!"
Gao Yue hummed and looked at it, and found that this is not modern yoga?Looking at these pictures, isn't it Mao Zhan, Skylark, Crescent Moon, and Xiaolei? !Just changed to a more elegant name!
If he hadn't known that Liang Xiao was definitely an aborigine in the original text, Gao Yue would have almost suspected that he was also wearing it.
After a few people chatted on the palace road for a while, Gao Yue returned to Jingyang Palace with his little script.He also said to Qi Sheath: "We can practice together in the future. After this practice, we can develop abdominal muscles!"
Qi Sheath thought to herself, why do I need abdominal muscles?
After lunch, Gao Yue thought that the Empress Dowager had given him permission to summon his relatives anyway, so he didn't need to ask any more, so he wrote an application letter and asked Xiao Xingzi to send it directly to Eunuch Li in Yongshou Palace.
On the same night, the Yonghe Palace also received several invitations, namely Xiangoujuanjuan, Tuobayu, Yueyue and Baiyumingxuan's wedding invitations. As a rule, the Autumnal Equinox Jin Ceremony also has their share, that is to say, it is reasonable for them to bring their relatives into the palace for two days at this time.These posts were piled up on Concubine Shu's desk. She was leaning on the chair, half-closed her eyes lazily, her wrist was hanging by the armrest, and she was holding another post with her fingertips. Shaking slightly, coughing, coughing, being thrown on the chair legs, the seams that were not very strong were about to wear off——
The signature on this post is two words - Qiao Huan.
The afternoon sun was brilliant, warm but not hot.Concubine Shu seemed to be asleep, and the maid beside her was probably afraid that she would be exposed to the wind, so she was about to put a thin shirt on her, when she suddenly said, "Please come to Yonghe Palace, Mrs. Qiao Liang."
The maid hurriedly withdrew her hand, immediately responded, bowed and retreated.
Gao Yue has been here for almost three months and has never met anyone from the Gao family. He was a little worried about being timid, so he wanted to wait for Zhou Feiqi to come back in the evening and let him know about the situation of the Gao family.
But Zhou Feiqi is not so easy to 'get off work' today——
The reason for this is that what happened in the harem yesterday caused a stir in today's court.
Today, just after the worship ceremony in the early court, some ministers came forward to advise the emperor to give priority to the heirs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to spread the rain and dew evenly, so that the royal family can spread its branches and leaves earlier!Some words are quoted from the scriptures and are impassioned, but in fact they always imply that the emperor only favors Gao Biyan, which is a taboo!
Zhou Feiqi looked at the person who advised him, it was Bian Yi, the admiral of the Jingwei Battalion.This person was originally the head of the Privy Council, but was later transferred to the Jingwei Battalion, and was promoted all the way to his current position.There is no one to support him, and it is impossible for him to be less than forty years old. To put it bluntly, this person is a direct descendant of the Li family, but he dared to stand up and sing the opposite after the Queen Mother issued such an edict last night. Zhou Feiqi was a little confused for a while!
However, according to common sense, Bian Yi obeyed the orders of Lord Zhen Guo, who is also the elder brother of the Queen Mother. Could it be that Lord Zhen Guo didn't agree with what the Queen Mother did yesterday?
Bian Yi said that Zhou Feiqi's gaze had already swept over Li Jing's face, and he saw that Li Jing was frowning at this moment, and he seemed to be more reluctant to listen to these words than the emperor. It seems that if the Duke of Zhen ordered Bian Yi Such an admonition must have been concealed from even Li Jing's son. The play of the father and son playing against each other is quite interesting.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Feiqi, who now had his own heart, and had his own ideas about the harem affairs, so he didn't care so much what others said.It's just that the words and deeds of the courtiers are related to the changing situation of the court, so he should pay attention or he will pay attention.
After Bian Yi finished speaking, he knelt in the hall with a righteous expression on his face.
Zhou Feiqi ignored him and just ignored him. Seeing this, Eunuch Hu immediately sang: "I have something to play—"
Seeing a person stepping out from the back row of the queue, a little panicked and a little excited, he replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have my own performance!"
Everyone looked at it, and said, isn't this the Master Ge Wangge who was appointed by His Majesty to enter the Imperial Study just yesterday? !
Then I heard Ge Wang said: "I watched the sky last night and saw Ziwei star moving, which should be above the heirs of my great Zhou royal family. I used this to deduce a hexagram. This hexagram is really auspicious. The auspicious auspiciousness of my Great Zhou harem lingers into the clouds, which is simply too precious. The minister took the compass overnight to calculate the direction, and now the auspiciousness has been determined."
"Oh?" Zhou Feiqi smiled, "Have you figured out where it is?"
"Yes," Ge Wang seemed extremely excited, almost biting his tongue, paused, and then said: "Jingyang Palace! Your Majesty, Jingyang Palace is surrounded by auspicious clouds. If Your Majesty can live here often, it will not only protect the dragon's health , it can drive the national fortune of the Great Zhou, and ensure prosperity for a hundred years!"
"Jingyang Palace?" Zhou Feiqi pretended for a while, and then continued to ask: "Isn't that where Gao Biyan lives?"
"formal."
"Ge Aiqing, do you want me to live in Jingyang Palace?"
"No, your Majesty knows clearly that this is not what I mean." Ge Wang quickly explained, acting as if he was real, and his forehead was sweating.
Zhou Feiqi said: "Then you should figure it out as soon as possible, whether it is Jingyang Palace with good feng shui or the lives of people inside, otherwise, even if I really moved to Jingyang Palace for the sake of Da Zhou, I will inevitably lose my mouth. It is said that Zhen and Gao Biyan are robbing the palace, isn't that ridiculous?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for a few more days." Ge Wang hurriedly said.
Zhou Feiqi let out an 'hmm'.The attitude is neither salty nor indifferent, so that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty really couldn't tell whether it was a double reed or the real thing.
After returning to the ranks, Ge Wang took a deep breath. Last night, he suddenly received a letter from Eunuch Hu asking him to do something like this, but he was taken aback.However, what he said is not all nonsense, he has already broken half of the hexagram, and there is indeed auspiciousness. Originally, he was thinking about the births of the dozen or so concubines and deduced them one by one, but Eunuch Hu As soon as the letter was passed on, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and figured out an astonishing inside story. He really didn't sleep all night last night, so he directly found out Gao Biyan's birth Geng, and calculated it all night.After the results came out, Ge Wang himself was shocked first.
Therefore, today's performance in court is not all a play.
At least when the emperor asked the news to be released step by step, it was really uncomfortable for him to hold a big secret in his heart.
Ge Wang's words changed the color of several people in the court.
Zhou Feiqi's eyes swept over the faces of those people one by one, and saw Qiao Huan's father, Qiao Shangshu, lowered his eyebrows in thought, Bian Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth tightly, and the eyes of the father of Zhongwuhou Hanpin, and even more disconcerted. The parents of the young harem concubines had different expressions, Zhou Feiqi sighed inwardly, thinking, in the royal family, the issue of offspring is probably a topic that cannot be avoided in that harem.
Li Jing was sad for a moment, then returned to normal.
After the early court, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the Minister of the Household Department alone in the Imperial Study.He handed the financial statement that Gao Yue made last night to Li Shangshu, and only told him to take it back and study it carefully, and if it was necessary, he would change all the existing calculations into this.
Or how to say 'old man', Li Shangshu just glanced at the watch, and first gave a big praise of 'yes', and then he didn't rush to leave, but started to review it carefully in the imperial study room. No, the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and when he encountered any confusion, he directly asked Zhou Feiqi for advice.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor was asked, but he smiled and didn't feel ashamed, and said bluntly: "Old Li, please write down your doubts for the time being, and I will answer you when I go back and consult an expert."
What a fine person Li Shangshu is, how can he fail to recognize who the "superior" is in His Majesty's mouth?Hearing this, he euphemistically remonstrated: "Since your Majesty has an expert by your side, why bother to hide it? It's better to invite you into the imperial study as soon as possible, so as to save you the trouble of running back and forth."
But Zhou Feiqi sighed and said: "Li Aiqing, if the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are as enlightened as you are, I will not hide those good things in my hands. Now I am afraid that I will reveal too much, and I don't know where it came from." The east-north-northwest wind blows wildly, and the sand blows up and dusts the pearl, so it's better to hide it, so as not to be poked on the spine every day."
The emperor didn't like to talk about these things with his ministers. During the seven years since Emperor Jiayi ascended the throne, this was the first time Li Shangshu heard him say such a thing.From this, it is not difficult to see the weight of the hidden expert in His Majesty's heart-but now the emperor said this in front of his courtier, obviously not just to seek comfort from him, but to let him give Come up with a solution?
Li Shangshu is so smart, he quickly thought of a good idea, he said: "If Your Majesty wants to make Mingzhu appear in the world in a legitimate way, the old minister has a way, but in this way, I am afraid that the expert will suffer a little bit. Your Majesty is not willing?"
Zhou Feiqi said: "Old Li, but it's okay to say."
Li Shangshu said: "Before, Your Majesty once said that the system should be reformed, but now we can take advantage of it." He raised the report in his hand, and said with a smile, "Let an expert come to the Ministry of Households to give advice. Wouldn't it be best to add an official position?"
This is indeed Zhou Feiqi's goal today, seeing Li Shangshu being so upright, the smile on his face became more real, he nodded his head twice, and said: "That's right, Li Aiqing's method is really good!"
But Li Shangshu was thinking in his heart, there is still a brother in my old Li Tou's family who would rather study dead books than get married. Now that he is in his twenties, he hopes to take this opportunity to gain a piece of the sky. Bar.
Speaking of which, if Gao Yue hadn't been favored now, Qi Sheath would not be interested in who the emperor favored at all.He himself absolutely does not want to live with any man. This has been deeply ingrained in his concept ever since his father was tortured to death by that man from the Qi family.Because of this, Qi Sheath hates all men in this world, and will not give any special treatment to someone just because he is the emperor.
But now it's different, he saw Gao Yue and the emperor come together, as Gao Yue's loyal friend, he hoped that Gao Yue would be happy in his heart, of course, this happiness should be based on the fact that the emperor can clean himself up and don't make a move Farewell love makes Gao Yue sad.
But Qi Sheath also understands that it may be much more difficult for an emperor to do this than for ordinary men.But then again, if the emperor really did this for Gao Yue, then he wouldn't have to worry about Gao Yue.
Right now, in Qi Sheath's view, whether the emperor can withstand this test is still open to question, so those concubines in Fanbang want to seduce the emperor to eat mooncakes together——now that Qi Sheath knows, it is inevitable that he will take care of Gao Yue.
So he asked Xiao Jiuzi again: "Why do those monks in Fanbang want to eat moon cakes with His Majesty?"
Xiao Jiuzi said: "Shang Baiyu said that it is the custom of their Qiandao country that mooncakes are eaten in pairs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they will not be eaten alone, so he threatened that His Majesty will accompany him to eat this year."
"Oh," Qi Sheath thought that Bai Yu Mingxuan was probably trying to find an excuse to fight for favor, but: "Why does Qiao Liang care about this matter?"
Xiao Jiuzi flattened his mouth, as if he was wilting all of a sudden, and said: "My husband didn't want to care about it at first, but today I don't know what happened, I went to Yihexuan in the morning, and I don't know what to say in the room with Bai Yushang. What, the wine order started after that, and he didn't let me follow in, he just let that little zhanzi wait in the room!"
Qi Sheath didn't ask any more questions, thinking that she had to take the time to inform Gao Yue about this matter, then settled Qiao Huan, and led Little Six back to her room.
At this time, Zi Shi has long passed.
Since Gao Yue and the emperor were together, it was the first time that the two little eunuchs were guarding the gate for them.In terms of experience, there is still a big gap between them and Hu and Zhang. At least when they hear some strange noises, the tolerance of these two young eunuchs is completely inferior to that of the two old eunuchs. of--
"...Are you coming or not?!"——It was Gao Yue's unbearable low growl.
"..."
The emperor didn't know what to say, followed by Gao Yue's high-pitched cry...
With a blushing face, Xiao Fuzi grabbed Xiao Xingzi, pointed at the window in disbelief, and whispered, "Did you not close it?"
Xiao Xingzi's face was also very red, but she pretended to be calm, and said, "I checked twice, and they are all locked up tightly!"
"Then, this—" Xiao Fuzi was at a loss and panicked, "What should we do? Should we stay away?"
Xiao Xingzi was also hesitant, but what if they couldn't hear the message from inside?I had no choice but to think of an expedient strategy, and said: "Just cover your ears for a while and bear it!"
Little Fuzi: ...
Therefore, outside the main bedroom of Jingyang Palace, two little eunuchs could be seen from a long distance away, covering their ears and looking at each other.
Fortunately, an hour later, the emperor's summons came from inside, which freed the hands and ears of these two inexperienced 'keeper' eunuchs.
The next day, when Gao Yue woke up, the industrious emperor Zhou Feiqi had already gone to court.Gao Yue hugged the quilt and turned over, quietly thinking about what happened yesterday, and decided not to sit still, he wanted to go out for a walk to see if he could attract some more 'snakes, rats, rats'!
Unfortunately, he just had breakfast, and Qi Sheath came to look for him again.Gao Yue originally wanted to ask Qi Sheath to go out for a walk together, but after hearing Qi Sheath tell the ins and outs of Qiao Huan's drunkenness last night, he changed his mind again.
He asked Qi Sheath: "Xiao Jiuzi really said that?"
"Well," Qi Sheath said, "I think it's not easy for Bai Yu Mingxuan, you better be careful."
Gao Yue said: "But have you ever thought about why Qiao Huan tried to get drunk and ordered him to drink? These years, you and Qiao Huan have been together for a long time, so you should know him better than me? Do you think he is the kind of Are you eager to compete for favor?"
Qi Sheath thought about it seriously, and said: "He cares more about His Majesty's face than his love for His Majesty. So, you mean that there is another reason for Qiao Huan to stop Bai Yuming from competing for favor in the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Gao Yue nodded, that's what he thought.With Qiao Huan's personality, it has nothing to do with other concubines competing for favor. Anyway, His Majesty does not favor Qiao Huan. There is no need for him to sacrifice his stomach for the benefit of others.Therefore, there must be something hidden in it, which he can't tell anyone.
"Is he sober?" Gao Yue asked again.
"When I came out just now, I saw Xiao Jiuzi carrying water into the house, so I guess I must have woken up." Qi Sheath said.
"Then let's go and see him together. You don't know how wonderful the Jingyang Palace play was yesterday." Gao Yue stood up, and took Qi sheath to the lover's place in the backyard.
The two of them walked ahead, and Xing, Fu and Xiaoliuzi automatically followed behind them.
Since Gao Yue passed through this beloved man's house, he has not lived in it for a few days.He lives in Qi Sheath's original room now, and Qiao Huan's room probably lived in the original Uncle Lin Qing's when he was his lover.
It was early autumn, and there were a few pots of red jasmine flowers in the yard. Originally, it was nothing to put a few pots of exotic plants in the palace. Gao Yue didn't pay attention at first, but when he passed by those pots of flowers, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept away. There were a few red dots moving fast on the ground, Gao Yue hurriedly bent down to look, it turned out to be a few red spiders, at this time these red spiders were running away quickly for some reason!
Gao Yue straightened up and stood still. Seeing this, Qi Sheath asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Is this jasmine from the palace? The red color is bright, and it's rare." Gao Yue said while thinking about these spiders.
Qi Sheath glanced at the flowers, and said: "Our palace is all native white. I have two pots in my room, which were sent by the Household Affairs Office a few days ago. These pots were brought back by Qiao Liangren from Yihexuan. Yes. I heard that I, Bai Yu Mingxuan, gave him a gift in return."
"Return?" Gao Yue frowned slightly, "What did he give Bai Yu Mingxuan?"
"The food in Jingyang Palace." Qi Sheath said angrily.
Gao Yue laughed.
The two of them were talking in the yard, but they didn't deliberately whisper, probably they heard it from inside the house.After a while, Xiao Jiuzi closed the curtain, and Qiao Huan bent over and walked out.When he saw Gao Yue, he smiled, but the smile fell on Gao Yue's eyes, and somehow he felt a little more uncomfortable, probably because Qiao Huan looked at Gao Yue a little more dodgyly.
"Gao Biyan, why are you here?" Qiao Huan's attitude was still enthusiastic. If it wasn't for the timid look in his eyes just now, Gao Yue might not have been able to see that he was different from usual.
"I heard that you were drunk last night, so I came to see you." Gao Yue said.
Qiao Huan hurriedly said: "Then sit inside quickly, I'm sober now, alas, I'm sorry to bother you."
Several people entered the house.
Qiao Huan asked Xiao Jiuzi to serve tea, and specifically pointed out: "I brewed the two boxes of green heart that I just got two days ago. That tea is the best thing."
Qi Sheath said: "Yihexuan gave it to you again? Why do you treat everything they give you as a treasure?"
Qiao Huan said: "You don't understand that. I got those two boxes of tea after grinding one of them. It was given to me by Tuobayu. It's rare for him to give someone something. You don't know." , I have been to Yihexuan for so long, but I have never seen Tuobayu leave the room."
"Oh," Qi Sheath continued to tease him, "You can still get tea if you don't come out, it seems that you have been rushing to post a lot?"
"Why do you say it's so ugly? I just want to make friends with people sincerely, and they can naturally feel it."
Gao Yue waited for the two of them to say the same thing, then turned around and said to Xiao Xingzi and other eunuchs: "You all go out first."
The little eunuchs immediately understood that the masters had something private to say, so they saluted and retreated one after another.
Gao Yue waited for Xiao Xingzi to close the outside door before speaking. The first sentence was aimed at Qiao Huan, and said: "The chef of Jingyang Palace died yesterday."
Qiao Huan was turning her teacup with her head down. Hearing this, her shoulders trembled slightly. When she raised her face, her expression was extremely surprised, and she said, "Did you die in the prison?"
"He died in the small kitchen of Jingyang Palace. Before he died, he left a blood book. Guess what it was written in?" Gao Yue stared at Qiao Huan, and said calmly, "You said you forced him to death!"
Qiao Huan shook her hand and knocked over the teacup, the glass of water dripped down the edge of the table to the floor, and the cup rolled on the table for a while.
The room was silent for a moment, as if only the movement of dust was left.
No one speaks anymore.
Qi Sheath was also in extreme shock when she heard Gao Yue say this.
And Qiao Huan was obviously more preoccupied, and the surprise only flashed at the beginning.
Gao Yue glanced back and forth between the two of them, and finally fell on Qiao Huan.He is waiting for his next words.
After a while, the corners of Qiao Huan's mouth twitched nervously, and he squeezed out a smile as if he was trying his best. He looked at Gao Yue, tried his best to put on an expression of hearing a joke, and said, "How do you say that?" ?! I just used him to cook a few times these days, and I didn’t take advantage of him at all. If I gave him another money, this would kill him? Gao Biyan, you must check it out!”
Gao Yue didn't speak, lowered her eyes, but raised her hand to straighten the cup on the table, and gently placed it in front of Qiao Huan.
There was only a layer of bottom water left in the cup, but Qiao Huan didn't even look at it, grabbed the cup and sipped it—there was another loud sound in the room, but the sound fell to several people's ears at this time, and it seemed a bit too harsh That's all.
Seeing him like this, Gao Yue just smiled.
But Qi Sheath couldn't bear it any longer. He knew that Gao Yue's words must be based on a basis. Then choose to believe him.So, he asked angrily, "You didn't force him, why did he say it was you?"
"How do I know?" Qiao Huan was probably irritated by Qi Sheath's attitude, and he slammed the finally empty cup on the table, with a bang, splashing a few drops of tea remaining on the table.
Gao Yue saw that Qi Sheath was unstoppable and angry, so she quietly patted his hand under the table, and then said to Qiao Huan: "Actually, I don't believe his words either. After all, he is a remnant of rebels, even if he says What can win the trust of whom? However, Qiao Liang, you really need to be more careful in your actions in the future, otherwise you don’t know when you will meet someone like Chef again. When the time comes, you will treat each other with kindness. You will be bitten back again, and at that time, who can save you? Don’t you think so?”
Qiao Huan hurriedly said, "I remember what Bi Yanjun taught me."
"Well, then you should rest more, after all the hangover is the most uncomfortable time." Gao Yue smiled at Qiao Huan.
Qiao Huan also laughed, but lowered her eyelids, as if she didn't dare to meet Gao Yue's eyes right now.
Gao Yue stood up, and before leaving the door, she instructed Qiao Huan again: "The fragrance of jasmine is faint, but the palace uses local white. Although your few pots of red are rare, they are not orthodox. You should return them."
Qiao Huan quickly agreed again.
Gao Yue and Qi Sheath had just left the gate of the lover's house, and Qiao Huan instructed Xiao Jiuzi behind him, "You return these two potted flowers to Bai Yu for me, and go now!"
Qi Sheath glanced back, and saw Xiao Jiuzi lift up the two potted flowers, and there was an 'excited' expectation on his face.
And Gao Yue didn't look back at all, and had already gone several steps.Qi Sheath hurried to catch up, and asked in a low voice, "Did the chef really say those things?"
Gao Yue nodded, and asked Qi Sheath, "Do you think Qiao Huan knows about this?"
Qi Sheath thought about it carefully for a moment, and said: "To be honest, I didn't see it, but he doesn't seem quite right."
Gao Yue said: "These two days, you should pay more attention to him."
"By the way, why did you ask him to return the flower?"
Gao Yue said: "You will know in a while. Let's go, follow me to the Imperial Medical Office."
Gao Yue was going to the Imperial Medical Office, of course he was looking for Taoist Master Zixian.
At this time, Zixian was leading a group of imperial physicians to discuss medicine, which was a new rule he set for the imperial physicians after he took office.In fact, these things were all his daily homework when he was studying medicine with Taoist Chi Yun, and now they are just copied to the imperial physician's office, but he did not expect that the imperial physicians were full of praise for this, and a group of imperial physicians discussed medical records together. It's really more beneficial than the previous kind of self-contained and hard work!
As soon as Gao Yue came, Zi Xian naturally gave him priority first, and immediately came out to pick him up, but Gao Yue whispered to him: "Master Daoist, I have something to tell you in private."
Zixian brought him and Qi Sheath into his duty room, and as soon as he entered, Gao Yue asked, "Does the Taoist priest know a kind of red spider?"
"Red spider?" Zixian frowned, and asked, "Where did Mr. Bi Yan see this kind of spider?"
Gao Yue said: "On the two pots of jasmine flowers kept by my beloved."
"Moding red spider, alternating red and white, is a sign of great danger." Taoist Zi Xian's expression was extremely serious for a moment.
Gao Yue thought for a while and said, "What about the red Jasmine?"
"Red?" Zixian was a little surprised, and asked, "Where is the red jasmine in the palace?"
Gao Yue then told about Baiyu Mingxuan Zengqiao Huanjasmine.
Taoist Master Zixian nodded after listening, and said: "If this is the case, it is normal. I heard from my master that there is an island in the East China Sea called Zhu Mo. According to legend, a red bird landed on this island. , Later, probably due to the incompatibility of water and fire, the Dragon King came out of the water to fight with it. The vermillion bird lost its claws, and the Dragon King went to look at it. The blood of the beast sprinkled on the island, dyeing the whole island red. The color of red and purple, this kind of red jasmine should come from that island. Presumably, it is probably the seed that Baiyu Shangren brought into the palace, and then he planted it himself."
"What are the medicinal effects of red spider and red jasmine? Is it poisonous?" This is what Gao Yue is most concerned about.
Zixian sighed: "It's hard to say about the toxicity. Pindao has not seen these two things with his own eyes so far, but Master once said that the scarlet spider is a sign of evil, and it is only a sign of my Taoism."
"Is it so mysterious?" Gao Yue was a little helpless, and asked again: "I still think that the Taoist master is well-informed, so he must know why this red spider doesn't fall on other flowers, but why did he find this red jasmine?"
"This..." Daoist Zixian smiled, suddenly remembered what he heard yesterday, and asked Gao Yue in a low voice: "Bi Yanjun, Pindao heard that you were attacked by a snake yesterday?"
Gao Yue thought he was going to gossip, but he didn't care, so he said, "Yes, I was pounced on by a bright green snake, but it didn't pounce on me, and was chopped off by Your Majesty."
But Zi Xian said: "That boa constrictor is extremely rare. I have already taken the snake gall and made medicinal materials to fill the medicine storehouse of the imperial physician's office. Do you know what kind of snake it is?"
"Where do I know the specific species? I call it the flower-eating snake. I infer this in private. The snake seems to feed on flowers." When Gao Yue said this, Qi Sheath listened and said: " Then why would he attack you? Are you not a flower?"
Zixian said: "Although he is not a flower, he is just fascinated, and he still has the fragrance of flowers on his body." Then he turned to Gao Yue and said, "Mr. Bi Yan expected that, the snake does feed on flowers. But it is not called a flower-eating snake. , is a totem of Jiuli Yao's totem 'Little Qinglong', because it has a white tail, it is also called Qinglongbai, which is the holy product among snakes. One can protect against all poisons."
When he said this, his face was full of spirits, he looked like a treasure hunter who had finally found a huge treasure, that kind of satisfaction, anyone who saw it would be moved.And now, he is sharing his joy with Gao Yue.
Gao Yue was naturally happy for him when he heard the news.But Zixian's words gave Gao Yue another reason, he asked: "Since it is Jiu Liyao's sacred snake, why did it come to Da Zhou's palace?"
"This..." Daoist Zixian didn't seem to have considered this point. He was asked by Gao Yue at this time, but he also found something unreasonable. After thinking for a while, he was not very sure: "Maybe it is During the great tribute period, some nobles from Jiuli Yao came to Beijing and brought this kind of snake, but they didn't catch it?"
Gao Yue shook her head, then turned around and whispered to Qi Sheath, "Go and check Xiangoujuanjuan's mother clan later to see if her mother is from Jiuliyao."
"it is good."
Seeing that Gao Yue was about to leave, Zi Xian quickly chased him and said, "Bi Yan-jun, if it's convenient for you, can you take Pindao to see those red jasmines and red spiders?"
Gao Yue said: "The flower belongs to Yihexuan. If you have the opportunity to go to Yihexuan for consultation in the future, you will naturally see it. It is inconvenient for me to take you to see it now."
Master Zixian: ...
Hearing Gao Yue's tone, Qi Sheath couldn't help pursing her lips in joy.
When the two came out of the imperial physician's office, Qi Sheath asked Gao Yue: "I didn't expect that even Taoist Master Zixian didn't know whether the red jasmine and red spider were poisonous or not. What should we do now?"
Gao Yue said: "Just wait and see. I believe Taoist Zixian should be able to figure out the details of the flower and the spider in a few days. Didn't you see it?"
Qi Sheath: "? What do you see?"
Gao Yue: "He is just a baby with a hundred thousand reasons!"
"Pfft!" Qi Sheath couldn't help it, and burst out laughing at Gao Yue's description.
When Gao Yue came out this time, the original purpose was to "lead the snake out of the hole", so he was not in a hurry to go back at the moment, and went to the Royal Garden for a stroll with Qi Sheath. I went west and wandered from west to east, but I didn't meet a single concubine. It seems that the people in the harem also understand that committing crimes against the wind is really not a wise move.
If you don't show your head, then don't show your head. Gao Yue saw that it was almost lunch time, so he went back to Jingyang Palace.On the way, he asked Qi Sheath: "Do you know how the concubine wants to call her family into the palace, how should she go through the formalities?"
"Oh, this seems to be a unified report to the Yonghe Palace. Concubine Shu Gui will report to the Queen Mother for permission, and Eunuch Li will make arrangements for it." Qi Sheath said, wondering: "Do you want to see your family?"
Gao Yue nodded and said: "Jin Dian is coming soon, I want to take them into the palace for two days."
"Is there only one cousin in your family in Pingjing?" Qi Sheath said, "I heard that your cousin has gone to Jicheng to take up his post."
"Yeah, my cousin has gone to work. Auntie is a woman in the capital, so it is inevitable that she will be outnumbered. I will take her into the Palace Master for two days, so that other people will not look down on her." Gao Yue said, the real purpose But only he and the Queen Mother knew.
Qi Sheath sighed, and said, "I think it's better for you to talk to the Queen Mother directly about this matter."
Gao Yue:?
"You don't forget, do you?" Qi Sheath looked at him with amused and distressed eyes, and said, "Two years ago, when you wanted to see your family, Concubine Shu directly lost your application post. The eunuch of the slave house was picked up, and half the people in the harem laughed at you at that time, and Concubine Shu later paid you a special compensation for this matter!"
"Then I'll go talk to the Queen Mother directly." Gao Yue said.
It turned out to be this matter, no wonder the last time I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu seemed to have done something wrong in her words!But this kind of thing can't be happy for anyone. When I think of the paper with my name and family name written on it, it's polluted. Didn't mean it?Therefore, it was completely normal for the original owner not to talk to her.
When the two were about to return to Jingyang Palace, they happened to meet Liang Xiao who was changing shifts for dinner.When Gao Yue saw him, her eyes lit up immediately, she quickly walked a few steps, called him, and said, "Ruijing, I suddenly remembered yesterday that you said you were going to give me a formula, but I haven't seen any sign yet!"
Liang Xiao performed the palace ceremony for him, and when he heard him call his own words, he felt warm in his heart, and said: "I almost broke the formula, seeing that you are too busy these days, I didn't take care of it for you!" He said He took out a blue brocade brochure from his bosom, opened it and handed it to Gao Yue. Afraid that Gao Yue might not understand, he pointed out: "This formula will work better with these moves!"
Gao Yue hummed and looked at it, and found that this is not modern yoga?Looking at these pictures, isn't it Mao Zhan, Skylark, Crescent Moon, and Xiaolei? !Just changed to a more elegant name!
If he hadn't known that Liang Xiao was definitely an aborigine in the original text, Gao Yue would have almost suspected that he was also wearing it.
After a few people chatted on the palace road for a while, Gao Yue returned to Jingyang Palace with his little script.He also said to Qi Sheath: "We can practice together in the future. After this practice, we can develop abdominal muscles!"
Qi Sheath thought to herself, why do I need abdominal muscles?
After lunch, Gao Yue thought that the Empress Dowager had given him permission to summon his relatives anyway, so he didn't need to ask any more, so he wrote an application letter and asked Xiao Xingzi to send it directly to Eunuch Li in Yongshou Palace.
On the same night, the Yonghe Palace also received several invitations, namely Xiangoujuanjuan, Tuobayu, Yueyue and Baiyumingxuan's wedding invitations. As a rule, the Autumnal Equinox Jin Ceremony also has their share, that is to say, it is reasonable for them to bring their relatives into the palace for two days at this time.These posts were piled up on Concubine Shu's desk. She was leaning on the chair, half-closed her eyes lazily, her wrist was hanging by the armrest, and she was holding another post with her fingertips. Shaking slightly, coughing, coughing, being thrown on the chair legs, the seams that were not very strong were about to wear off——
The signature on this post is two words - Qiao Huan.
The afternoon sun was brilliant, warm but not hot.Concubine Shu seemed to be asleep, and the maid beside her was probably afraid that she would be exposed to the wind, so she was about to put a thin shirt on her, when she suddenly said, "Please come to Yonghe Palace, Mrs. Qiao Liang."
The maid hurriedly withdrew her hand, immediately responded, bowed and retreated.
Gao Yue has been here for almost three months and has never met anyone from the Gao family. He was a little worried about being timid, so he wanted to wait for Zhou Feiqi to come back in the evening and let him know about the situation of the Gao family.
But Zhou Feiqi is not so easy to 'get off work' today——
The reason for this is that what happened in the harem yesterday caused a stir in today's court.
Today, just after the worship ceremony in the early court, some ministers came forward to advise the emperor to give priority to the heirs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to spread the rain and dew evenly, so that the royal family can spread its branches and leaves earlier!Some words are quoted from the scriptures and are impassioned, but in fact they always imply that the emperor only favors Gao Biyan, which is a taboo!
Zhou Feiqi looked at the person who advised him, it was Bian Yi, the admiral of the Jingwei Battalion.This person was originally the head of the Privy Council, but was later transferred to the Jingwei Battalion, and was promoted all the way to his current position.There is no one to support him, and it is impossible for him to be less than forty years old. To put it bluntly, this person is a direct descendant of the Li family, but he dared to stand up and sing the opposite after the Queen Mother issued such an edict last night. Zhou Feiqi was a little confused for a while!
However, according to common sense, Bian Yi obeyed the orders of Lord Zhen Guo, who is also the elder brother of the Queen Mother. Could it be that Lord Zhen Guo didn't agree with what the Queen Mother did yesterday?
Bian Yi said that Zhou Feiqi's gaze had already swept over Li Jing's face, and he saw that Li Jing was frowning at this moment, and he seemed to be more reluctant to listen to these words than the emperor. It seems that if the Duke of Zhen ordered Bian Yi Such an admonition must have been concealed from even Li Jing's son. The play of the father and son playing against each other is quite interesting.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Feiqi, who now had his own heart, and had his own ideas about the harem affairs, so he didn't care so much what others said.It's just that the words and deeds of the courtiers are related to the changing situation of the court, so he should pay attention or he will pay attention.
After Bian Yi finished speaking, he knelt in the hall with a righteous expression on his face.
Zhou Feiqi ignored him and just ignored him. Seeing this, Eunuch Hu immediately sang: "I have something to play—"
Seeing a person stepping out from the back row of the queue, a little panicked and a little excited, he replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have my own performance!"
Everyone looked at it, and said, isn't this the Master Ge Wangge who was appointed by His Majesty to enter the Imperial Study just yesterday? !
Then I heard Ge Wang said: "I watched the sky last night and saw Ziwei star moving, which should be above the heirs of my great Zhou royal family. I used this to deduce a hexagram. This hexagram is really auspicious. The auspicious auspiciousness of my Great Zhou harem lingers into the clouds, which is simply too precious. The minister took the compass overnight to calculate the direction, and now the auspiciousness has been determined."
"Oh?" Zhou Feiqi smiled, "Have you figured out where it is?"
"Yes," Ge Wang seemed extremely excited, almost biting his tongue, paused, and then said: "Jingyang Palace! Your Majesty, Jingyang Palace is surrounded by auspicious clouds. If Your Majesty can live here often, it will not only protect the dragon's health , it can drive the national fortune of the Great Zhou, and ensure prosperity for a hundred years!"
"Jingyang Palace?" Zhou Feiqi pretended for a while, and then continued to ask: "Isn't that where Gao Biyan lives?"
"formal."
"Ge Aiqing, do you want me to live in Jingyang Palace?"
"No, your Majesty knows clearly that this is not what I mean." Ge Wang quickly explained, acting as if he was real, and his forehead was sweating.
Zhou Feiqi said: "Then you should figure it out as soon as possible, whether it is Jingyang Palace with good feng shui or the lives of people inside, otherwise, even if I really moved to Jingyang Palace for the sake of Da Zhou, I will inevitably lose my mouth. It is said that Zhen and Gao Biyan are robbing the palace, isn't that ridiculous?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for a few more days." Ge Wang hurriedly said.
Zhou Feiqi let out an 'hmm'.The attitude is neither salty nor indifferent, so that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty really couldn't tell whether it was a double reed or the real thing.
After returning to the ranks, Ge Wang took a deep breath. Last night, he suddenly received a letter from Eunuch Hu asking him to do something like this, but he was taken aback.However, what he said is not all nonsense, he has already broken half of the hexagram, and there is indeed auspiciousness. Originally, he was thinking about the births of the dozen or so concubines and deduced them one by one, but Eunuch Hu As soon as the letter was passed on, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and figured out an astonishing inside story. He really didn't sleep all night last night, so he directly found out Gao Biyan's birth Geng, and calculated it all night.After the results came out, Ge Wang himself was shocked first.
Therefore, today's performance in court is not all a play.
At least when the emperor asked the news to be released step by step, it was really uncomfortable for him to hold a big secret in his heart.
Ge Wang's words changed the color of several people in the court.
Zhou Feiqi's eyes swept over the faces of those people one by one, and saw Qiao Huan's father, Qiao Shangshu, lowered his eyebrows in thought, Bian Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth tightly, and the eyes of the father of Zhongwuhou Hanpin, and even more disconcerted. The parents of the young harem concubines had different expressions, Zhou Feiqi sighed inwardly, thinking, in the royal family, the issue of offspring is probably a topic that cannot be avoided in that harem.
Li Jing was sad for a moment, then returned to normal.
After the early court, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the Minister of the Household Department alone in the Imperial Study.He handed the financial statement that Gao Yue made last night to Li Shangshu, and only told him to take it back and study it carefully, and if it was necessary, he would change all the existing calculations into this.
Or how to say 'old man', Li Shangshu just glanced at the watch, and first gave a big praise of 'yes', and then he didn't rush to leave, but started to review it carefully in the imperial study room. No, the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and when he encountered any confusion, he directly asked Zhou Feiqi for advice.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor was asked, but he smiled and didn't feel ashamed, and said bluntly: "Old Li, please write down your doubts for the time being, and I will answer you when I go back and consult an expert."
What a fine person Li Shangshu is, how can he fail to recognize who the "superior" is in His Majesty's mouth?Hearing this, he euphemistically remonstrated: "Since your Majesty has an expert by your side, why bother to hide it? It's better to invite you into the imperial study as soon as possible, so as to save you the trouble of running back and forth."
But Zhou Feiqi sighed and said: "Li Aiqing, if the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are as enlightened as you are, I will not hide those good things in my hands. Now I am afraid that I will reveal too much, and I don't know where it came from." The east-north-northwest wind blows wildly, and the sand blows up and dusts the pearl, so it's better to hide it, so as not to be poked on the spine every day."
The emperor didn't like to talk about these things with his ministers. During the seven years since Emperor Jiayi ascended the throne, this was the first time Li Shangshu heard him say such a thing.From this, it is not difficult to see the weight of the hidden expert in His Majesty's heart-but now the emperor said this in front of his courtier, obviously not just to seek comfort from him, but to let him give Come up with a solution?
Li Shangshu is so smart, he quickly thought of a good idea, he said: "If Your Majesty wants to make Mingzhu appear in the world in a legitimate way, the old minister has a way, but in this way, I am afraid that the expert will suffer a little bit. Your Majesty is not willing?"
Zhou Feiqi said: "Old Li, but it's okay to say."
Li Shangshu said: "Before, Your Majesty once said that the system should be reformed, but now we can take advantage of it." He raised the report in his hand, and said with a smile, "Let an expert come to the Ministry of Households to give advice. Wouldn't it be best to add an official position?"
This is indeed Zhou Feiqi's goal today, seeing Li Shangshu being so upright, the smile on his face became more real, he nodded his head twice, and said: "That's right, Li Aiqing's method is really good!"
But Li Shangshu was thinking in his heart, there is still a brother in my old Li Tou's family who would rather study dead books than get married. Now that he is in his twenties, he hopes to take this opportunity to gain a piece of the sky. Bar.
