Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yong'an picked up Zhuo Ji and hugged him to his lap, he didn't speak for a long time.Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, it's human nature to care about your family and worry about your children. If I didn't have things from my previous life, I might have some thoughts, but I keep the most complete memory of my previous life. There are some things that I really don't have. The method is to look at it with this secular concept. It is also because of this that if I know about some things and do not do them, I will feel uneasy.

In my previous life, what I couldn't bear the most were those children who died one by one.Those women who were raped to death and eaten alive.Even in the so-called civilized society, women are deeply discriminated against, but it is clear that the continuation of human beings needs women.Your Majesty, I would rather see Concubine Xigui ask me for help so that the child in her womb can survive, and I don't want her to disregard the child's life or even use someone else to protect her own status and maintain her position in His Majesty's heart. life to protect her child.

Similarly, Brother Yao is willing to ask me for help, at least it shows that he has not been obliterated by power and position.I have read so many secrets of the deep palace, and the people in the harem described in it all have inhuman calculations and forbearance. Each of them will do anything to get to the top, even killing their own children.I am afraid that I am in such a deep palace, and I don't want to experience the same cruel life as the last days. "

Emperor Yong'an hugged Zhuo Ji tightly, and Zhuo Ji rubbed his heart: "I know Your Majesty loves me, and I will bring Hu Pengju and the others out as soon as possible. I will not let Your Majesty feel sorry for me, and I will let Brother Yao and the others feel sorry for me. I can find someone to make a move. Your Majesty, there is only one of you. Although I say I don’t care about your exposure to rain and dew, in fact, I occupy you. My protection of Brother Yao and the others, you should take it as my debt to them. .”

"You don't owe them anything!"

"But I can't help but feel guilty. This will happen in future generations. I will be a mistress, no, there are more than a mistress. Anyway, my behavior will be condemned by public opinion and morality. I will do more for them, so that I can enjoy it with peace of mind. Your Majesty, your difference to me may be very hypocritical, but this will make me feel better. Your Majesty, I cannot avoid the influence of my previous life."

Emperor Yong'an let out a long breath. He couldn't change some of Zhuo Ji's ideas, just as Zhuo Ji couldn't make him believe that everyone is equal.

"Okay, I promise you, I'm not angry anymore, and I won't mention it again. The resignation of the Grand Master is my disposal of his Shao family, and it is also a reminder to others. Otherwise, if there is one, there will be two. Besides, Chen Huan He is already the real king of Qin, and Huang Guixie is the head of the middle palace. I arranged for Shao Jianian to enter the firearms camp, and Shao Pingqiu to be in the cabinet. The Shao family is powerful now, even without your incident this time, I have to suppress the Shao family. You don't like the intrigues and tricks in the palace, and I also don't want to see the prince grow up to form a party for personal gain and do whatever it takes to get that position. To get that position, they have to rely on their real skills, not someone's scheme Well done, I will give it to whoever has the most friends with officials."

Zhuo Ji nodded vigorously: "Yes, I support Your Majesty in this regard. The heir to the throne must be a man of action, not a conspirator."

Emperor Yong'an continued: "As for the imperial concubine, I will punish you slightly, but only after she gives birth to a child. People from the Kuang family, I will still use what should be used."

"How small punishment?"

Emperor Yong'an: "I will not spend the night in her palace for a year."

"Well, it's good, stay overnight in my palace."

Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's hand, and continued: "This time in the autumn, I decided to let Chen Mu and Chen Mu participate in the whole process, so that they can get familiar with government affairs earlier and help you earlier in the future."

"Well, I support it."

Emperor Yong'an suddenly said, "Didn't Zhaotong and Chunyan return your gift?"

Zhuo Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "They want to send me medicinal materials, so they asked Brother Tong what to send, and Brother Tong told them not to worry, and help me get some special products from Nanyue. Brother Tong said that they are all from Jiangnan, leaving Southern Guangdong is near."

Emperor Yong'an: "Indeed. Your wife is more careful. You are busy enough. Why do you think you have too much time to make essential oil soap for so many people?"

Zhuo Ji: "Everyone likes this thing, and it's actually a must-have. It's just essential oil soap, and I only give it to Brother Yao and the others. It's too petty. Take advantage of the Evergreen Festival, and let everyone be happy. But I do have energy. It is limited, so not everyone has it." Zhuo Ji raised his head and lowered his voice, "Which scented essential oil soap would you like me to use tonight, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an lowered his head: "All." Then he sealed Zhuo Ji's mouth.

■

By dinner time, Emperor Yong'an had returned to "normal".Talking and laughing with his love waiter, and eating the braised fish and seaweed egg drop soup made by love waiter himself, the mood is even more comfortable.After the two of them finished eating, they walked to Yuqing Pool, treating it as a walk after dinner to digest food.

In Yuqing Pool, joyous chants continued uncontrollably, Zhang Xian, Feng Xi and Chang Jing stood far away.After about an hour, the movement inside stopped.Zhang Xian walked quickly to the bathroom door, waited for a while, and heard His Majesty's voice from inside: "Come here."

"The servant is here."

Zhang Xian went in.

Emperor Yong'an leaned against the pool, Zhuo Ji was wearing a bathrobe and lying on the recliner, Emperor Yong'an said, "Shampoo your hair."

Zhang Xian immediately backed out, and soon Feng Xi and Chang Jing both came in.Zhuo Ji supported Chang Jing to stand up slowly, walked to the shampoo bed, and Emperor Yong'an came out of the pool.Zhuo Ji: "Use shampoo." After talking about how to use shampoo, Zhuo Ji lay down and Chang Jing washed his hair.Zhang Xian and Feng Xi served His Majesty together.

Neither of them spoke, and there was only a slight sound of rubbing hair in the bathroom.Zhuo Ji was a little drowsy. After using nine different essential oil soaps, Emperor Yong'an turned into a wolf. Zhuo Ji didn't even know that the essential oil soap he made had an aphrodisiac effect.When Zhuo Ji was about to fall asleep, someone woke him up: "This shampoo is really good."

Zhuo Ji opened his eyes: "The shampoo can only clean the hair, it has no hair care effect, so you must use some moisturizing essential oils after washing. Your Majesty thinks it is good, let Brother Mingxi mix more." .”

Emperor Yong'an: "You are a good student."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

It was almost time for the two of them to come out of Yuqing Pool.Back at Xiangfu Palace, the two went straight to bed.Zhuo Ji will go to Lenggong to do research tomorrow, and it will be Qiu Wei two days later, and Emperor Yong'an will not be able to relax.The two masters have fallen asleep, and the servants in the palace can also rest except for those who are on duty at night.Feng Xi and Yuan Xiu are on duty tonight, but Zhang Xian is also standing outside.Wang Bao walked over to Zhang Xian and Feng Xi and said, "Eunuch Zhang, Feng Xi, go and rest. The master is going to the Leng Palace tomorrow, and only Chang Jing and Xiaohui will follow. Yuan Xiu and I have nothing to do. Here we are." Just keep Yuan Xiu."

Zhang Xian said: "No need. Our family is His Majesty's servants, how can I let you guard it."

Wang Bao: "This is the meaning of the master."

Zhang Xian was stunned, and Wang Bao: "Master said that he does not know how long he will be busy going to Lenggong this time. If you need it, Mr. Zhang, you can call me at any time. Master told you to have a good rest with Feng Xixi tonight, so as not to avoid tomorrow Feeling down early in the morning."

Eunuch Zhang lowered his head and blinked his eyes, then raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Then our family will thank you for your kindness. If there is nothing to do at night, Your Majesty should wake up until dawn. If there is something on the cabinet side Jizuo, you must call us quickly, the cabinet’s Jizuo is not ours, and no one can handle it."

"Kindly remember."

Eunuch Zhang signaled to Feng Xi, and Feng Xi bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Wang Bao, followed Master and went to the ear room to rest.Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu stood guard at the door. After a while, Yuan Xiucai said in a low voice, "Eunuch Zhang has been wronged today... Master is also sympathetic to Eunuch Zhang."

Wang Bao said calmly: "There are a few people of our status who are not wronged. It's just that you and I are lucky. When we meet the master, we will be sympathetic to us. Eunuch Zhang is only wronged in the eyes of the master."

Yuan Xiu thought about it and nodded.That's right, what happened to Eunuch Zhang today is considered a grievance, but in the eyes of the master, it is considered a grievance.

Zhang Xian took Feng Xi to the ear room, the bunk had already been made, there was still a bucket of hot water in the room, and there was also cold water in the basin.Feng Xi went to add hot water and said, "Master, wash your face."

Zhang Xian sat on the kang without saying a word, Feng Xi twisted the cloth to wipe Master's face and hands.Then he knelt down to take off his master's shoes and socks, but Zhang Xian suddenly said, "What did your majesty and 俍俍 say in the room?"

Feng Xi's hands trembled, Zhang Xian put his feet into the basin, and said: "You have been restless all night, I am your master, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

Feng Xi's eyes were red, Zhang Xian: "What?"

Feng Xi sniffed his nose, washed Master's feet, and said in a low voice: "Master, how can you say that Chuchu is so good? It's not that there are no masters in this palace who are good to the slaves, but compared with Zucu, that's also true. It’s just less beating and less scolding. But no matter how good it is, they are still slaves. It’s different for you, because you don’t treat disciples as slaves or eunuchs.”

Feng Xi raised his hand to wipe his tears, "Master, I will never let anyone who bullies and wrongs me!"

Zhang Xian lifted his foot and kicked Feng Xi. Feng Xi sat down on the ground and looked at Master in shock.Zhang Xian said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble for you! We can't let people who bully you and those who wrong you, but it depends on who it is! It depends on what it is! Shi Fangyun and Yan Those who declare that kind must die! Some noble masters in the palace, can they!"

Feng Xi squatted down, continued to wash Master's feet, and admitted his mistake: "My apprentice is wrong." Feng Xi sniffed again, and Feng Xi's voice became hoarse a few times, "Master, I told Your Majesty that there is no one in this palace except Wang Bao. Among the few of them, we, father and son, are the most caring to you."

Zhang Xian's eyes widened, full of astonishment.

Feng Xi wiped his tears: "Master, you said that you have to serve His Majesty, you have to do errands, and occasionally you have to be assigned by him, saying that you are not a superman. Master, what is a superman? I don't understand, but I know I am pleading for you, Master. I said that the people below must be too cautious, so I delayed, and I hope your Majesty will not blame you."

Zhang Xian lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes.

Feng Xi continued with a strong nasal voice: "Your Majesty is angry because your concubine did that, and also because..." Feng Xi lowered his voice even more, "Your Majesty said that the imperial concubine is pregnant with twins. But I want to plead for mercy."

Zhang Xian raised his eyes and saw Master's expression, Feng Xi: "Master, do you know?!"

Zhang Xian said softly: "Long live went to Yuxian Palace today to inquire about crimes, and he didn't avoid me."

Feng Xi: "Master! If the grown-ups find out about this, they will definitely arrange for you! My apprentice listened to His Majesty's intentions. Not only did you intercede for the imperial concubine, but His Majesty seemed to agree with you." Yu.brook.Benedict.Gal.

Zhang Xian: "What are you panicking! Wansui agreed, but Wansui also has arrangements, and they won't let them pour dirty water on Zuo. What's more, what are they doing when you are Sui Guogong? I don't know how many adults in the previous dynasty admired Zuo from the bottom of their hearts. At most, it is nothing more than someone impeaching one or two bullets, and it will be nothing. If the imperial concubine gives birth to twins, or both are princesses, then it will be nothing. What you have to pay attention to is the palace Some people. Your Majesty wants to be stable, and the Tanyang Palace is stable, so that you can have no worries. Those who don’t want the Tanyang Palace to be stable are the ones you and I have to deal with."

Feng Xi nodded vigorously receptively: "Tu'er understands, it was just that Tu'er wanted to go off the rails. Chu Chu also said something, and Tu'er was a little scared."

"what?"

Feng Xi gritted his lips: "He said that he didn't care about anything other than his own life and an agreement. Then His Majesty asked his apprentice to retreat. Master, why doesn't He care about anything? What is that agreement? ?Do you know?"

Zhuo Ji is the business of Su Hui, and only Emperor Yong'an, Queen Mother and Zhang Xian know it well.Lin Yi and Lin Xieshan knew that he was extraordinary, but Emperor Yong'an didn't tell them directly that Zhuo Ji was a wise man.Even Xiaohui and Chang Jing were only aware of it, and hadn't personally heard what the master had said about Su Hui.Sometimes Zhuo Ji doesn't shy away from speaking in front of Feng Xi, but Feng Xi is actually like Chang Jing and the others, knowing that the 俍俍 has an extraordinary background, but he doesn't know about Su Hui.

Zhang Xian: "Cu Chu is not an ordinary person, don't ask, you just treat him as an immortal from heaven and earth, knowing everything. As for the agreement, I'm afraid there is some agreement between Chu Chu and His Majesty, that's not what you and I can do." Inquiry. Come here."

Feng Xi got up and went over to him, Zhang Xian whispered something to him, and then said: "Cu Chu doesn't like to plot, Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu can only guard the Xiangfu Palace, and can't do too many superfluous things. There has to be a calculation."

"The disciple understands!"

■

Early the next morning, after Emperor Yong'an came to court, Zhang Xian personally led someone to remove the plaque from Xiangfu Palace and replace it with a brand new one.In the lower right corner of the new plaque is the private seal of Emperor Yong'an.As soon as this plaque was hung up, Danyang Palace became a sensation again.His Majesty personally painted a picture of Shunxiu, and even wrote the inscription "Xiangfu Palace" himself!It's no wonder that Shun Yu is so domineering that she wants the hairpin of the imperial concubine in public, and can blatantly snatch His Majesty away from the imperial concubine!

In Yuxian Palace, Concubine Xi, who used goat's milk soap, sat in front of the dressing table and applied skin cream to the vanity mirror. It was specially formulated for her by Ming Xi after she was pregnant, and Concubine Xi liked it very much.While combing the master's hair, Ruyi said, "Master, this goat milk soap is really useful. After using it, master, your face has become whiter and tenderer."

Concubine Xi laughed, and said: "How can the things that Shunxi made be worse. I am now hoping that Mingyu can tinker with more. When the child is born, I will be able to use those new make-ups. Su Yan After so many months, I can't bear to look at it myself."

Ruyi: "It's because I'm afraid that those rouge and gouache will hurt the little prince in the empress's belly. Chu Chu is amazing, even rouge and gouache can do so well."

"It's makeup."

"Look at this servant's memory, it's makeup."

With her hair straightened, Ruyi gave it to her master, and said in a low voice: "There are two little girls in Yuxian Palace who talk badly (shun) in private, and the slaves made their own decisions and slapped their mouths."

Concubine Xi's face turned cold: "When?"

"I went to the small stove in the morning, and I heard two little girls chattering by the well, saying that they are domineering, and they are robbing your majesty from the master."

Concubine Xi was even more stern: "Each person will throw thirty boards into the Yeting Court."

"Yes."

Concubine Xi: "Whoever in Yuxian Palace dares to break your mouth and obey you, you don't have to report it to me. You hit the board and slap your mouth and throw it directly to Yeting. Those in the west and east palaces, who dares to make arrangements for you? Tell this palace."

"Yes."
