Fast Travel: The Mountains and the Seas Are Allies

Chapter 232 The Queen Is Going Out (16)

The little emperor devoted himself to treating illnesses, and the longer he lost half of his body, the less time he spent dealing with government affairs throughout the day, especially after he accidentally saw himself in the mirror when he was speaking. In the beginning, he collapsed from time to time, mixed with low self-esteem, fear and irritability. He was extremely unwilling to let other people see his embarrassment, especially the few people he valued in the past. He always asks for an interview at the entrance of the Guangming Palace, and every time he asks him about government affairs decisions through the screen, he becomes a little bored and even wants to avoid government affairs!
After more than two months, the little emperor gritted his teeth and met them once through the screen even if those people asked to see him seven or eight times.

Because of this, the Yan family became more and more arrogant in the previous dynasty. Even if they only tied a few small families to the warship, they dared to fight with others like a raging fire!
In the eyes of the Yan family, the little emperor's behavior was undoubtedly a kind of concession, which made the Yan family's momentum soar, and their actions became more and more disregarded.

"What did you say?" Du Ruo stiffened while holding the teacup, the corners of her mouth twitching wildly.

"My lord, I saw it with my own eyes. Zhao Momo from the Empress Dowager's Palace personally brought two men dressed as eunuchs into the Chaoping Palace."

Du Ruo stared blankly at the two peach blossoms in the corner, and at some point they all sprouted and formed buds.

She didn't speak, and the few people in the courtyard didn't dare to say much, they just looked at each other silently for a few moments and then bowed their heads in tacit understanding.

After a while, they heard a very weak sound, which sounded more like asking themselves than asking them: "What time is it now?"

They didn't dare to answer, and they heard Du Ruo muttering to himself: "It's already spring, but it goes by so fast."

Grandma Jin couldn't see the trance-like appearance of her eldest daughter, so she stepped forward and interrupted: "It's not so fast, the emperor has been ill this year, and neither the New Year's Eve palace banquet nor the first day of the new year's sacrifice was held." The Yan family really wanted to ask the queen mother to hold a sacrifice for the emperor, but they never did.

Because of this, Huang Wenzhong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Ge Zeng, the servant of the household department, were sent to a remote county to be a magistrate by the Yan family in order to vent their anger, and the other was exiled for eight hundred miles!
Ge Zeng's corruption was true, Fourth Master was happy to see him exiled, and even felt that the crime of exile was light on Ge Zeng!
On the contrary, Huang Wenzhong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was wronged for no reason. This man has always been upright, and his conduct is very suitable for the appetite of Fourth Master Mao. It was found out that the Yan family actually wanted to do something on his way to take office!So he just left him in the suburbs of Beijing, and invited people to play chess, drink tea and debate from time to time.

Seeing the crooked posture of the two, they are about to become confidantes and good friends, and they will sleep together in the same bed in two days!
Suddenly there was a sour smell!
Etc., etc!

Thoughts run away.

Now, it's about time.

You can't really let the daughter of the Yan family conceive the 'Dragon Heir', otherwise they will have a hard time going on!
"It's spring, it's about to get warmer, and I should make some spring clothes. My mother went to the warehouse for me to pick out some moon-white and cold-white materials with as few patterns as possible, and pick out a few. Show me."

"No, the old slave will go now."

"Xiao Zhizi, you have worked hard too, Qing Qiao, you lead him to pick up a purse!"

"No." After Er Si finished speaking, he beckoned Xiao Zhizi to go into the house together.

Du Ruo led Ersan and took two steps to the corner of the wall to avoid people, and was standing under the two peach trees.

Even if it is only blossoming, it still seems to be able to smell the tangy fragrance of peach blossoms.

Du Ruo lightly pinches a peach branch with bony buds with two fingers, puts her nose to the tip of her nose and lowers her eyes to sniff lightly. Except for the coldness of the air, she can't smell anything. The fragrance of peach blossoms must be an illusion!

Thinking about something else in my heart, I glanced around to make sure that no one else was approaching, my mouth opened and closed automatically and whispered two or three, really doing three things with one mind: "Tell him what happened just now, and ask him again." He has figured out when to ring the bell."

"No." Ersanyi's breath surged when he heard this. After agreeing, he immediately hurried out of Ganquan Palace.

Du Ruo was left alone under the peach tree, and Grandma Jin kept talking as she was led back by the first-rate young eunuch holding the ingredients.

Before the palace gate was locked that day, the news came back.

When Ersan was waiting for Du Ruo to wash up, he said in a low voice: "Master said to ring the bell in three days."

Three days?
···
The three days passed quickly.

Du Ruo didn't sleep all night last night, she just lay on the bed in a daze, counting the carved flowers on the bed frame, often because her thoughts drifted, she forgot where she was counting.

"Girl, it's time to get up."

When I entered the room on the second, third, or fourth day, I saw a man sitting upright by the bed with his underwear neatly draped and his hair loose. There was a faint blue color in his eyes, which was enough to see the torment of last night.

"Call Xiao Zhizi."

Ersan's eyes lit up, and for the first time, Ersan quickly stepped out of the house to call for someone.

Ersi was taken aback by that quick and quick movement, when did Ersan rush to answer a job that required talking?

"Your Majesty." Although Xiao Zhizi still had a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with apprehension. This was the first time he had been called early in the morning in such a long time!I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's a big deal!
Du Ruo's eyes were empty, and he said as if his mouth was opening and closing on its own: "Send the news you received three days ago to the Guangming Palace."

"Your Majesty!" How could this be possible?Isn't this the same as saying that he was cuckolded in front of the emperor?Who would dare!With that current temper, the person who reported it would be dead before the daughter of Yan's family waited!
Seeing that Xiaozhizi was in trouble, Ersan took the initiative to speak: "The only younger sister of Zhao De in Yuqian was dragged into the mansion by the third son of the Yan family after she got married, and three days later there was an unidentifiable female corpse in Beiliangshan, a suburb of Beijing. "

Xiao Zhizi looked at the empress sitting upright, then at Qing Qiao who was looking excited, and Qing Xiu who was only looking at the calm face, kowtowed to Du Ruo, turned and left without saying anything.

"Mother, or else I'll call..." Ersi still felt uneasy about leaving this important matter to Xiao Zhizi, so he hesitated to speak and planned to get double insurance.

"Just wait." Du Ruo closed her eyes after finishing speaking, "How is the material and clothes that Nanny Jin brought three days ago?"

"Ah! It's about the same, the girl should try to see if it fits? If it doesn't fit, I will change it for the girl, but isn't this style too plain?" Ersi walked outside the house after talking, and after a while hugged her Putting on the jacket and skirt, she entered the room and waited for Du Ruo to change with Ersan.

A jacket with a crescent silver thread and Ruyi pattern, a plain skirt with silver thread and a landscape pattern of the same color, and a pair of moon-white plain embroidered shoes. Du Ruo looked at the person in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "It's better to be more plain. After all, national mourning is a big event. , It’s not easy for someone to pinch your tail.”

"Miss!"

Du Ruo didn't even have to look back, he could hear the joy in those two words.

But she didn't continue talking about it, she just sat down in front of the dressing table and said lightly: "Dress up!"
