Zhuo Qihua

On this day, Emperor Yong'an did not go to Jinse Palace again.After he went to see the queen mother as usual, he went to Huayang Palace.The eldest prince, Nan Rongchen, studies in the Dongye Hall during the day, and can only return to Huayang Palace in the next hour.When he is eight years old, he will move out of Huayang Palace and move to live with the prince in Daxing Palace.Thinking of this, Jiaguixie felt very worried.Nan Rongchen went to the prince's office, but he was the only prince there, and he left the side of his mother and father again, so why not make Mrs. Jiagui worry.

The arrival of Emperor Yong'an made Jia Guixie's face hard to hide.One of the main reasons why Zhuo Ji's favor did not cause complaints in the harem was that Emperor Yong'an tried his best to cover the concubines and maids who did not fall out of favor in the harem.The number of visits to Concubine Xi's Yuxian Palace and Jiaguixie's Huayang Palace did not decrease either.After Cheng's death, Mrs. Jiagui invited the Empress Dowager to assign Yan Xuanfa to the West Third Hospital.Those who were kicked out by Jia Guixie, no noble lord of any palace would take them in.Here Zhuo Ji left the West Third Hospital, while Yan Xuan was sent in there.Emperor Yong'an did not have the status of descending Yanxuan, but Yanxuan is no different from being thrown into the cold palace now.

"Is Your Majesty not busy today?" Jia Guixie personally brought tea to Emperor Yong'an and asked.

Emperor Yong'an replied: "No matter how busy the state affairs are, I will spare time to visit you."

The smile on Jia Guixie's face deepened, and she sat beside Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and asked, "How is Chen Huo recently? I'm too busy to go to Dong Ye Hall to check his homework. But I heard from Mr. Chen Ge that he studies very hard. , and very attentive."

Mrs. Jiagui hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The reason why my son studies hard is because of your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an: "It's also good for you to teach. But you must also pay attention to your body. After all, he is still young, so don't hurt your body by working too hard."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the servants are paying attention to his body every day, and don't dare to take it lightly. Your Majesty, the weather has been dry recently, and I boiled some pear water, and I will let them bring it up."

"it is good."

Emperor Yong'an saw Jiaguixie's unfinished chess on the chessboard, he got up and walked over to sit down.After Jia Guixie gave Chang'an instructions, he followed and sat down.

Emperor Yong'an picked up a white piece: "Come on, I will accompany you to finish this game of chess."

Jiagui Xie picked up the sunspot with a smile.Jia Guixie was the childhood sweetheart of Emperor Yong'an, and his accomplishments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were unmatched in the harem, even the former empress Cheng's.After the game was over, Emperor Yong'an, who lost the game, was in high spirits: "As expected of Shao Yao, after so many years, I still rarely win against you."

Jia Guixie said: "It is His Majesty who let the minister serve."

Chang'an sent almond pear water at the right time, Jiagui Xie took it and touched the bowl, it was not hot, and then sent it to Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an drank the pear juice in a few gulps, nodded in satisfaction, and handed the empty bowl to Chang'an.

Jia Guixie said: "Your Majesty has been worrying about state affairs recently, so you must pay attention to your body."

Emperor Yong'an nestled into the soft chair, and said with a relaxed expression: "The state affairs in the past two years have indeed become more complicated, and there are also a bunch of idiots who are not up to date. Fortunately, the drought is over, and the rest is up to the officials." Investigations by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple."

Emperor Yong'an took the initiative to mention the government affairs, but Jia Guixie could not ask more questions, he could only say: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, no matter how difficult it is, you can get through it safely."

Emperor Yong'an smiled: "You have confidence in me."

Jia Guixie: "Because you are His Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an said casually: "Zhuo Ji often said that I am wise and powerful, but the more I do this, the more I sometimes feel that it is not enough, not enough." It's just that some of the things that the seemingly reckless Wang Mang did were all due to him. This emperor who is called Mingjun by many people can't think of it, let alone do it.

Jia Guixie's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Zhuo Ji said so, he must also worship His Majesty as much as his servants."

Emperor Yong'an laughed twice, and shook his head: "He? He thinks that I may be wise and mighty, but he absolutely does not worship me."

"Your Majesty, you really dote on him." Jia Guixie couldn't keep the smile on his face.

Emperor Yong'an raised his hand and gently pinched Jiaguixie's cheek, and said with deep meaning: "The queen mother is getting old, and I may not be a queen mother anymore, but I will hand over this harem to one person after all. Shao Yao , you have always been sensible, don't let me down."

Jia Guixie's breath was suffocated, and she immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister presumes the holy will, please forgive me!"

Emperor Yong'an did not let Jiaguixie get up, but said: "He is different from you, his heart is not in the harem. If I want to keep him in Danyang Palace, I must pamper him. But no matter how much favor I give him , it doesn't matter to you or anyone else. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jia Guixie kowtowed: "It is the minister who is ashamed of His Majesty's favor. Not only did he fail to share His Majesty's worries, but instead annoyed His Majesty, the minister is ashamed..."

Emperor Yong'an bent down to support Jiaguixie with one hand, sat Jiaguixie with wet eyes in his arms, and said, "Don't let me down again."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yong'an wiped away the tears from the corners of Jiagui's eyes, and said, "Zhuo Ji understands medical skills, if you have nothing to do, you can sit in his palace and ask him to show you."

"The minister has always wanted to see him, but he was afraid that His Majesty would not."

Emperor Yong'an smiled: "He doesn't like to go out, so I'll let him go. It's best if you are willing to go. When he has seen you all, maybe he will like to go out."

"The minister knows."

"You are your concubine, what is missing in Jinse Palace, what is missing, you have to be careful, and don't let me worry about it anymore."

"It's because the servant is ignorant, and the servant will definitely not bother His Majesty about this in the future."

"Well, I know you will do well. I rest here tonight, and I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time."

Jia Guixie smiled, and stood up from the emperor's arms: "The servants will let them get the piano."

Emperor Yong'an nodded.

Everyone knows that the Queen Mother's control of the harem will only be temporary, and Emperor Yong'an himself knows that it is impossible for him to let the Queen Mother help him control the harem all the time.The best candidate in Emperor Yong'an's heart was Jiaguixie, but Jiaguixie's treatment of Zhuo Ji made Emperor Yong'an not very satisfied. In contrast, Dezhen, who was more active, won Emperor Yong'an's heart.But the only person in the palace who is suitable to be in charge of the harem is Jia Guixie, which can be said to be justified.Therefore, before officially arranging Jiaguixie to be in charge of the harem, Emperor Yong'an needed to beat him first.Otherwise, he would hand over the harem to Jiaguixie, and Jiaguixie would turn around and deal with Zhuo Ji, which would be to create trouble for himself.

This afternoon, Emperor Yong'an was in Huayang Palace listening to Jiagui Xie playing the piano and playing chess with Jiagui Xie, and he was in a good mood.Jia Guixie also knew from Emperor Yong'an that the piano, chess, calligrapher and painter in Jinse Palace was only good at painting.I can't play chess, I'm afraid I'm not good at playing the piano, and my handwriting is also bad.But Jia Guixie will no longer underestimate or even despise Zhuo Ji because of this.Jiagui Xie is not stupid, Emperor Yong'an's words have given enough meaning.As long as he treats Zhuo Ji honestly and doesn't have any calculations about Zhuo Ji, then he will be the best candidate to be in charge of the harem in the future, and Zhuo Ji will not pose a threat to his status.Instead of plotting against Zhuo Ji, he wants to protect Zhuo Ji everywhere.To gain the power to control the harem and compete with Zhuo Ji for favor, Jia Guixie knew exactly what to choose.

For two consecutive days, Emperor Yong'an did not go to Jinse Palace, but spent the night in Huayang Palace, and then spent one night in Concubine Xi's Yuxian Palace, and then stayed in Dezhen's Yunyue Palace for two nights. He also summoned two people who agreed to sleep in.Everyone was puzzled, thinking that the one from Jinse Palace was about to fall out of favor.

Jiaguixie didn't go to Jinse Palace, the Double Ninth Festival was coming, the queen mother asked Jiaguixie and Xiguifei to help prepare for the Chongyang Festival's ancestor worship ceremony.Originally, the eighth day of August was the Evergreen Festival, the Empress Dowager's birthday.Because of the drought, the queen mother was spared.But the Evergreen Festival can be avoided, but the Chongyang Festival is absolutely unavoidable.Every year, New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Double Ninth Festival are important days for ancestor worship, and the palace must not be sloppy.Especially after the drought this year has passed, the significance of worshiping ancestors is even more extraordinary.The Empress Dowager has limited energy, so both Jiagui Xie and Xi Guifei have to keep busy.After a day of self-reflection, Zhuo Ji went into the pharmacy again, whether he really wanted to dispense the medicine, or to hide from Emperor Yong'an, anyway, he didn't see anyone.Some people who planned to visit Jinse Palace with Dezhen because Dezhen went to Jinse Palace, were blocked from the door.Jia Guixie also knew that Zhuo Ji was busy, so he didn't bother him, and Emperor Yong'an also acquiesced.

The atmosphere in the past few days has become tense again.Important progress has been made in the big granary case, and Long Wei is furious again.Because the royal clan is involved, there are not a few people who have entered the palace to intercede with the queen mother in recent days.The queen mother is also very annoying.Here, in the Xingxing Hall of Fengtian Hall, Emperor Yong'an had just scolded a clan who came to intercede bloody. After he drove away, Zhang Xian walked in with a square box the size of two palms in his hand.

"Long live, people from Zhuoya sent someone to give Wan live something, saying that it is for you to have a look at it yourself."

The anger on Emperor Yong'an's face subsided a little, and he asked, "Who sent it?"

"It's Wang Bao. He said that the Zhuoya people have sent a batch of medicinal materials from Nanyue ordered by the Imperial Medical Office, and the Zhuoya people have been busy processing these medicinal materials recently."

Emperor Yong'an felt uncomfortable again, he didn't go to Jinse Palace for ten days in a row, and he didn't see that person take the initiative to ask.Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand, and Zhang Xian presented the box up.Emperor Yong'an opened the box, and inside were a few pieces of paper with writing on it, written with a quill pen.Zhuo Ji didn't like to use a brush, if Emperor Yong'an hadn't forced him to practice calligraphy, he wouldn't even have a brush.

Emperor Yong'an picked up the first piece of paper on the top and opened it. Originally, he was unhappy because Zhuo Ji didn't come to inquire. After looking at it for a few times, he immediately sat up straight.Zhang Xian knew at a glance that there must be something important written on the paper.

——Your Majesty, I need something called glass.Its main component is silicon dioxide.Its purpose is... I only know that its main raw materials are quartz sand, borax, boric acid... the approximate production method is...

Zhuo Ji wrote three pages eloquently, and at the end of the third page he wrote: [Please order the Ministry of Industry to develop glass as soon as possible. 】

Emperor Yong'an put the three pieces of paper aside and picked up the fourth.

——Your Majesty, I also need a metal called stainless steel.This metal does not rust easily and is resistant to corrosion.Its use covers... I only know the approximate production method of stainless steel as follows...

I ask your majesty to order someone to develop stainless steel as soon as possible, and I thank your majesty.

Emperor Yong'an's breathing was a little heavy.He pressed a few pieces of paper firmly under his palm.Zhang Xian's heart was lifted because of His Majesty's actions and expressions.After a long time, Emperor Yong'an seemed to be slowing down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Xian, quickly order Shi Yu, Yan Jin, and Pan Beigu come to the palace to see me."

"Yes!"

Emperor Yong'an picked up those papers again and read them word by word.

Zhuo Ji found another job for Emperor Yong'an. He didn't do it on purpose, but found that he was in urgent need of glass products during the process of dispensing medicine.Ancient medical technology was extremely underdeveloped.Born as an ancient, Zhuo Ji would also consider his own safety.There is a minor illness and pain that can be solved by taking medicine, but what if it is a serious illness that is a matter of life and death.Regardless of whether he can meet the conditions required for the operation with his ability, at least he must prepare the tools for the operation.It's not that Zhuo Ji never thought about making a scalpel before, but it was very unrealistic.In the past few days, he thought about dispensing the medicine again, and immediately wrote it down and handed it to Emperor Yong'an.He has no doubts about the wisdom of the ancients, as long as he gives them a hint, they will be able to create miracles.

Shi Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is very busy these days.When he received the news that His Majesty ordered him to enter the palace quickly, he was terrified, wondering what strange thoughts His Majesty had.And Shi Yu didn't come out of the palace until it was dark after entering the palace.Early the next morning, Shi Yu went to the Ministry of Industry and called Sima and others from the Ministry of Industry to hold a meeting. A craftsman who is skilled in smelting.After that, Shi Yu handed over the Ministry of Industry to the two Sima for temporary management. He, Dr. Guanglu Yan Jin, and General Dingyuan Pan Beigu left Dongluo City, the capital of the Mata State, with a hundred craftsmen and a thousand elite soldiers.

Worshiping ancestors during the Double Ninth Festival on September [-]th is a major event. From the first day of the first lunar month, the palace has entered into a festive atmosphere.The Empress Dowager rewarded the palaces with Chongyang flower cakes, yellow chrysanthemums, cornus officinalis and chrysanthemum wine.Even people in the cold palace can receive rewards from the Queen Mother.Yellow chrysanthemums can be seen everywhere in Danyang Palace.In such a strong Double Ninth Festival atmosphere, a line of words popped out of Zhuo Ji's head inappropriately - "The whole city is full of golden armour".

Drinking chrysanthemum wine, Zhuo Ji lay in the rocking chair and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky.Today is the third day of junior high school, Zhuo Ji, who has been busy in the pharmacy for half a month, can finally take a breather.There is no custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Mata country, so Zhuo Ji has no chance to grieve when he misses his loved ones.Emperor Yong'an hasn't been here for more than half a month, but sent Zhang Xian to give some rewards.Zhuo Ji didn't have any reaction to this, it seemed that whether Emperor Yong'an would come or not had no effect on him, but the others were worried in their eyes.

"Master, can you go on the Double Ninth Festival?" Xiaohui couldn't help asking.

Zhuo Ji shook his wine glass and said indifferently: "Your Majesty didn't say that I must go. If I don't have to, I won't go."

"Master, Your Majesty has not come for a long time..."

"what happened?"

"..." Xiaohui couldn't tell Master, she was worried.

Zhuo Ji raised his glass to the moon: "Mingyue, when will it be... take the wine and ask the blue sky... I don't know, the palace in the sky... what year is it this evening... I want to go back with the wind... and I'm afraid that the sky and the jade universe... It's too cold..."

The palace servants of Jinse Palace were all attracted by their master's sudden poetic quality.Zhuo Ji stood up, staggering as if drunk, Xiaohui and Chang Jing hurriedly supported him in fright.Zhuo Ji broke away from the two of them, poured down the wine in the glass, and slowly turned around: "Dancing to find out the shadow... He Bi, in the world... Zhuanzhu Pavilion... Low Qihu... Zhao Wusian..."

A figure quietly walked into the main hall of the main palace of Jinse Palace, and stopped in the shadow of the corner of the corridor.Zhuo Ji threw the wine glass to Chang Jing, ignoring the other party's frantic catch of the priceless jade cup, he pulled out the hairpin in his bun, freed his hair, pointed at the night sky with disheveled hair, and suddenly changed his voice .

"There should be no hatred! What is long-term, don't be happy! People have joys and sorrows! The moon has it! The moon and the moon! This matter is difficult in ancient times!" Putting down his hands, Zhuo Ji chuckled a few times, and his voice became soft again Come down, look up at the night sky, with hope, with nostalgia, and whisper quietly, "I hope, the life will be long... Thousands of miles... Together, Chanjuan..."

Just when everyone was immersed in the silence and a touch of sadness at this moment, Zhuo Ji suddenly put his hands to his mouth again, and shouted to the night sky: "I hope, people--long! Thousands of miles! Let's share the beauty--!"

I am separated from you by a time and space, I hope you are all still alive and alive!I can be with you at this moment and enjoy the bright moon together!
