Zhuo Qihua

Both Tong Yifeng and Qi Yiguo are not good at talking.Qi Yiguo has a simple temperament, but he is always a little afraid of Emperor Yong'an, and he can't let go in front of Emperor Yong'an.Tong Yifeng has a cold temper and is not good at making fun. Emperor Yong'an and the two of them mostly talked about what books they usually read and what they did for the concubine in the palace.Tong Yifeng also knew that His Majesty did not really like him and Qi Yiguo when he came to Jiangfang Palace, but out of consideration for the stability of Danyang Palace, so he did not act particularly flattering to please His Majesty.He doesn't try to please His Majesty, he can gain a foothold in this Danyang Palace.Qi Yiguo has always listened to Tong Yifeng's advice, and did not appear particularly flattering.Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied with the acquaintance of the two of them, and it was enough for Danyang Palace to have a servant.

Chatting casually, Tong Yifeng seemed to say casually: "Today I met Liu Dounan in the Imperial Garden. His hand injury is still not healed. In Duanbaoli, where we entered the palace together, his embroidery is the best. I wanted to ask He embroidered a bellyband for Chen Zhao and Chen Hao, so he had no choice but to give up."

Emperor Yong'an: "You can just find the steward of Lijintang directly."

Tong Yifeng: "The waiter also saw that the aprons he embroidered for His Highness the Third, His Highness and His Highness Eight were very beautiful, so he wanted to find him."

Qi Yiguo interjected at the right time: "I wanted to find Liu Yaren, but Liu Yaren said that his embroidery skills were not as good as Liu Dounan's. As a result, Liu Dounan's hand was burned again, and he has not healed. Shen and Zhaoyan also want Chen Zhao and Chen Hao to be blessed. I don't know when Liu Dounan's hand will heal."

Emperor Yong'an: "Is Liu Yimu seriously injured?"

Qi Yiguo: "The waiter didn't see how the injury was. But it's still wrapped after these days, so it must be very serious."

Emperor Yong'an: "Isn't Liu Xizhu's embroidery skills very good? If you really want Chen Zhao and Chen Hao to be blessed, then ask him to embroider. The embroidery painting he embroidered is very good."

Qi Yiguo looked embarrassed and went to see Tong Yifeng.Tong Yifeng didn't say anything.Emperor Yong'an: "What?"

After hesitating, Tong Yifeng said: "At first, the servant should not arrange things randomly in front of His Majesty...but...the servant still thinks that Liu Dounan's embroidery is better."

Qi Yiguo: "When Duanmu used to be, Liu Dounan would do embroidery when he had nothing to do, and he had seen all the attendants. But Liu Yaren has never seen embroidery before... Liu Dounan is safer."

Tong Yifeng: "It's not necessarily called Liu Dounan embroidery. It's just that the aprons of the three highnesses are really beautiful, so I moved my mind. His hand injury has not healed, and I don't know if it will affect it. If he can't embroider in the future, That would be a pity."

Qi Yiguo sighed: "Liu Dounan also really likes it. Shishen heard that he was still embroidering purses in the house with his hand hurt. If it wasn't for his hand injury, Shishen really wanted to ask him for one."

Emperor Yong'an lowered his eyes to drink tea, then put down the teacup and said, "You are a 伃, he is Dounan, why bother to ask for it. Let him embroider if you want. Since you can embroider purses, the hand injury should not be serious." .”

Qi Yiguo was stunned for a moment, and Tong Yifeng's eyes flashed a certain kind of light, and he continued: "It's all right, we entered the palace together anyway, and I don't want him to be in trouble."

Qi Yiguo was so clever that he quickly nodded in agreement.

Tong Yifeng naturally changed the subject: "Your Majesty, after the Evergreen Festival, I gave a gift to Shishen and Chunyou by chance, and Shishen and Chunyou wanted to prepare a return gift for you. It means that some rare medicinal materials from southern Guangdong are the best. Both Shishen and Chunyi have written letters home and asked their family members to help them buy them. But Shishen doesn't know if this trip will delay the matter of Chuan. "

Emperor Yong'an's expression immediately softened a lot, and said: "Try to find seeds, there will be no delay, he likes rare ones."

"The waiter understands."

Qi Yiguo: "The letters from Shishen and Zhaoyi also said to try to find seeds."

Emperor Yong'an nodded.

This night, Emperor Yong'an stayed here with Tong Yifeng.After Qi Yiguo gave birth by caesarean section, the wound has not fully recovered and still hurts.He committed a serious crime because of the caesarean section, so he was very scared when he went to bed.Emperor Yong'an spent the night in his palace before, and he didn't make things difficult for him.After Qi Yiguo left, Tong Yifeng served Emperor Yong'an to wash and change his clothes.After going to bed, Emperor Yong'an did not intend to touch Tong Yifeng, and Tong Yifeng was not disappointed either.

Emperor Yong'an, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said, "I don't care who you want to deal with, but you can't destroy the stability of the palace."

Tong Yi sat up vigorously.

Emperor Yong'an still closed his eyes and said: "You are very smart, and I like your cleverness. You are pure and simple, and he follows you. As long as you are not confused, he will not be confused. I hope that you will always be so smart, and don't make mistakes. Confused."

Tong Yifeng got off the bed and knelt down.

Only then did Emperor Yong'an open his eyes: "Why are you targeting Liu Xizhu?"

Tong Yifeng was talking about Liu Yimu, but Emperor Yong'an could understand that he was actually targeting Liu Xizhu.Tong Yifeng raised his eyes to look at His Majesty, without dodging or guilty, he said bluntly: "Chun Ni almost killed two people, Liu Xizhu is the mastermind. Serving the body will not harm others, but it will not let those with sinister intentions go. Chunyan is pure in nature, has never hurt anyone, let alone hurt people's hearts, but Liu Xizhu deliberately let him eat too much of the child. It is to make him understand that this Yang Palace is not a place where he can do evil at will!"

Emperor Yong'an withdrew his gaze from Tong Yifeng: "Come up."

Tong Yifeng kowtowed and went back to bed.After lying down again, he heard the emperor next to him say: "Shunxi told me that there are a lot of gossip in this palace because they are too busy. You are born, even if you enter the palace, don't bury it." .Shun is busy every day, it would be good if you could share some of it for him.”

There was obvious surprise on Tong Yifeng's face, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and immediately said: "Of course I am willing to serve you, but I don't know what I can do for you."

Emperor Yong'an: "When he finishes working for a while, you can ask him."

Tong Yifeng: "Thank you for your majesty's kindness. I also want to do something for you."

"Well, don't be too idle."

"...be careful with yourself."

Emperor Yong'an stayed in Jiangfang Palace for three nights in a row, all in Tong Yifeng's room.Huang Guixie and the others had no idea, and the others couldn't sit still, especially Liu Xizhu and Liu Yimu, Zuo Silin was also a little uneasy.Although he said that Qi Yiguo's dystocia had nothing to do with him, Zuo Silin was also guilty.On the second day of the second round of the township examination, when Tong Yifeng and Qi Yiguo went to greet the imperial concubine, they proposed the idea of ​​asking Liu Xizhu to embroider some paintings for them and sell them for money. Feng's original words are: "Shun Yu is busy all day long, but Shishen and others are idle, and I feel very ashamed. Shishen and Chunyou are good at painting, but their embroidery skills are not good. Shishen thinks Now, Shishen and Chunyou are painting, and Liu Yaren and the others will embroider it if they are good at embroidery. Although they may not be able to sell for a few dollars, it is good to buy more medicinal materials for Chuyou."

The royal lady sounds very reasonable.The few of them in this palace are too busy to separate themselves, let alone Shunxi.But people like Liu Xizhu who don't have much status are really in a panic.People are prone to gossip when they are idle.Liu Xizhu's mind has become more active these days, keeping him busy can also make him feel more at ease.Huang Guixie immediately agreed to Tong Yifeng's proposal, and said: "I, Guixie, and Mingxie are indeed busy, and Shunxie can't expect him to worry about the West Eighth Palace. You and Chun If you have nothing to do, I will take care of it. But after all, it is His Majesty's maid, it is not good to sell embroidery, and it is also a shame for His Majesty. I will put the embroidered ones at your place first, and I will wait for a certain amount. Then think about how to sell it properly."

"Yes, you."

After receiving the decree, the eunuch next to Tong Yifeng carried the tray to Liu Xizhu's room that afternoon, and put down two giant paintings for him to embroider.Liu Xizhu's face turned green at that time.Not only Liu Xizhu.Zuo Silin, Xu Mu, and Chang Mingyue, who had long since fallen out of favor because of Zheng Yingzhi's relationship, were assigned tasks.The news from Shimao's side spread to Dongbagong, Xi Guifei found Concubine Wen and Concubine Xiao, and soon Dongbagong also took action.The low-ranking concubines of the East Eighth Palace also need to embroider.Because Yuan Susu had the prince by her side, she wanted to help Concubine Jing raise the prince, so she was exempted from this task.The low-ranking concubines complained endlessly. They are also noble masters in the palace. Usually, embroidery is just a hobby, or to please someone. If you ask them to embroider every day, wouldn’t that kill them? !

But the royal concubine agreed, so they could only follow through, and no one dared to ask His Majesty to intercede.Maybe they are going to look for His Majesty here, and there are more tasks assigned by the imperial concubine over there.The mourning from the east and west palaces continued, the imperial concubine was very comfortable, and the queen mother laughed.Everyone is busy, lest some people are idle and make trouble.

The cause of the incident was that Tong Yifeng could not be concealed from the incident, and everyone did not dare to make arrangements for the imperial concubine, so they hated Tong Yifeng.Tong Yifeng didn't care.Emperor Yong'an didn't express his position after learning about this matter. It's good to ask him to see it. His valet was so busy that he stayed in the cold palace all day long. Some people ate and slept in the palace all day long. The thing is to fight for favor and harm others, so they should be busy.Child Yifeng did this beautifully.

On the night when the third round of the rural examination began, Emperor Yong'an went to Jiangfang Palace again and stayed in Tong Yifeng's room.The news that Zhao Yuzu was favored after Shunyuzu was even more solid, and some people said that Zhaoyuji seduced His Majesty by taking advantage of Shunyuzu's absence.After realizing it, Mingyu was a little worried, so he ran to Yunyue Palace to ask Deguixie what he meant, and the old god Deguixie said, "If your majesty really wants to pamper Zhaoyou, you won't let him be pregnant again. Long Si. There will definitely be more and more things about Shunxi in the future, and you and I will definitely be busier and busier. There will be troubles in Danyang Palace if no one is in charge. Zhaoyu is a smart person. In front of Shunxi He also knows how to advance and retreat, His Majesty has loved him a little these days, and I'm afraid he might have the intention of asking him to help take care of the West Eighth Palace. After all, Zhaoyou was born as a scholar, so it's a waste to have nothing to do in the palace."

Ming Xing was still worried: "I'm afraid that Zhao Xing's heart will grow bigger if I serve myself."

De Guixie: "If he had a big heart, His Majesty wouldn't do this. I'm afraid His Majesty also intended to use Zhao's hand to beat some people. You don't care about the right and wrong in the palace, please let me know." "Taoyao Pavilion" was handed over to you, and you were accepted as a student, so you have to make some achievements. Didn't you say you want to build a factory, and when are you going to do it?"

As soon as the business was mentioned, Mingxi immediately became serious and said, "The factory is already under construction. It's just in the suburbs of Beijing. It uses cement newly produced by the Ministry of Industry. I'll help you to read the drawings. It's just that there are still not enough manpower. This technique must be kept secret, and you must find someone you can trust." Having said this, Mingyu frowned, "It would be fine if His Majesty allowed his servants to leave the palace, and I'm always worried about sending people around me. This is Shunxi's business. , I don’t want to leave it to my natal family to do it.”

De Guixie's heart moved: "Why don't you ask His Majesty. The formula in your hand must not be leaked, even if it is handed over to someone to take care of it for you, you must be at ease."

As soon as Mingyu heard what De Guixie said, he immediately got up and said: "Then attendant will go to see His Majesty."

"Go."

Ming Xun left, Fuquan said: "Master, Your Majesty may not be sure."

De Guixie: "We want to do big business. How can we do it if we can't see or hear it in the palace all day long. It's okay now, but after a long time, I don't know how the people below will fool me. Don't say it's going out of the palace. , when Chen Mu grows older, I will have to ask him to help keep an eye on the pharmacy. The business in Shun's hands will definitely grow, and this person will take care of it."

Fuquan nodded: "The master is right."
