    Songyin had been recuperating at home for a few days, but she really couldn't stay idle. She took care of some things alone, fearing that Amma wouldn't be able to find the clue and would delay things later.  [s just loves reading] [There are almost all the books I want to read. It is more stable and updates faster than ordinary websites. It is full text and has no ads.  ] So when I felt a little better, I struggled to get up, packed myself up and went on duty.

    There hasn¡¯t been much trouble recently. I still have food, clothing, housing and transportation. It¡¯s not like everything was mixed together a while ago. It¡¯s been a very relaxing two days.  On the fifth day of September, the Ministry of Rites announced that the imperial court would change its clothes for autumn. After the emperor's approval, the palace began to get busy. The masters of the palace were the top priority. The tens of thousands of clothes for the palace people were no small matter. If there were any leaks, they had to be repaired.  He had to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to apply for it, so Cheng Zi was very busy for several days.

    When Songyin had some free time, he took a look in the mirror and saw that the wound had become lighter, and a curved line hung on the tip of his eyebrows, which was a lotus color.  In ancient times, women were painted slanting red, which was probably near that position.  She touched it with her hand, and there was still a slight pain. She took a quick look and said, "Move two more inches and you can go to Shuntian Mansion to sit in the hall." She pouted, knowing that he was laughing at her, so she ignored him.

    Prince Yu¡¯s wedding date is set at 20, with only half a month left. Fortunately, the prince who has already opened a government office is not like those princesses. After establishing his own business, the palace is no longer in charge, and the palace handles all the matters.  The Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered to provide some assistance, but it was difficult to cope with the royal banquet. The Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated people and materials to help, but other details were not their responsibility.

    The statement said: "We can't go on the wedding day. One of you or I has to show up. People can't just follow suit. Ask Sotong from the Ministry of Industry. We are the same as him. We can follow whatever they give us."  "

    Songyin didn¡¯t take it too seriously, so he found a few pieces of brocade from the satin, sat under the window and decided to make a set of gourd work for Rongshi.

    "Just go with Enie. It's outrageous for me, a girl, to show up in public and drink wedding wine! You can't stay away from anyone in the palace all the time, and the wedding banquet is at night. I'll stay on guard all night, just in case anything happens.  .¡±

    "The explanation is, look at the sky outside, it's gloomy, it seems like it's going to rain.  An autumn rain and a cold, getting colder as time goes by.  Talking about the exquisiteness of the emperor's crown and clothes, the warm crown used on the crown has a subdivision of "smoke in spring and yuanhu in winter".  There are also materials used for winter clothes, such as mink, fox, sheepskin, ermine The imperial minister from the north will be arriving in Beijing in a few days. The leather is not like satin, so it is more complicated to inspect. Look at the color of the coat and smell the smell.  If you don't handle it well, it will be completely ruined by next year.

    Songyin has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for nearly three years and has experienced two winters. From charcoal to oil and wax, she knows what to pay attention to.  Her mother repeatedly warned him, but she thought he was verbose, so she randomly found a book and flipped through it, "I have nothing to do today and went to the door to check the files."

    Shuming snorted, "It's going to rain."

    She just pretended not to hear, plucked her ears and walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    Actually, checking the access control records was secondary. She was thinking about the gourd work, a set of twelve. She usually did little sewing, so she had to ask someone for a pattern before she could embroider it.  Go to Yonghe Palace to find Concubine Hui, because my sister is there, and it¡¯s not good to go too often.  Just go to Ruyi Pavilion, where you can find whatever meticulous samples you want.

    She looked up at the sky. The sky was leaden and very low. It was just on the bridge of her nose. If she walked faster, she wouldn't need an umbrella.  On the way, I met Cai He from the Jingshi Room, and he clasped his hands and greeted her: "Where are you going, little manager? It's about to rain heavily. Are you not afraid of walking in the rain?"

    Songyin was worried about Rang Yu's situation, so he stopped and said, "I was about to go to your place. This month's green head stall and the access gate stall will be checked together."

    Cai He responded with a sigh, turned around and ordered the eunuch below, "Hurry back and open the file cabinet, and ask me to let the manager take a look."

    The Respecting Room is inside the Qianqing Gate, next to the South Study Room. In the past, you could always hear people discussing politics when you entered the door, but today it was very quiet.  She turned to Cai He and asked, "Where is Long Live Lord now?"

    Cai He said: "I heard that people from Yangxin Palace came to Rijingmen to announce the imperial doctor, so I thought it was a violation of the law."

    Songyin was a little confused, why the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not notified of this matter? Can you bear with it if it was done so quietly?

    Since she didn¡¯t say anything, she must not have wanted them to know, so she didn¡¯t bother and just sat at the table flipping through her files.  The red stalls in Tongshi's place are combined with the green stalls in the honoring room. It is clear at a glance how many concubines have slept with them this month and how many masters are in the relationship.  She paid special attention to Rang Yu. There was another incident after the first flip of cards, and she has not been favored by the Holy Family since then. Cai He was observing the words and saying cautiously: "Did you see it? Tong Shi's note there  Now Master Tong has sent you two monthly letters in a month. Does he have any illness?"

    Songyin also saw it. It had just been a month since she entered the palace, and two monthly letters had passed within half a month.  ( ¡¯) In the remaining half month, she turned over the brands twice, which is actually considered diligent, but sheShe must have her own thoughts and not want to sleep with her.  She was in good health when she was at home, and I had never heard of her having this problem. But she had an attack when she entered the palace. It can be seen that she had bad luck like Guo Guiren.  However, how to say this, I can't tell outsiders, I just say: "Sometimes things don't go well for her. She has seen several doctors, and things are good and bad. But there was nothing unpleasant during the period, so she didn't care."

    Cai Heoh said, "You have to take good care of it, young manager, don't take it seriously, after all, it is a matter of life. Which master in the palace doesn't want to be favored by the Lord Long Live? It's not convenient for you, but the emperor has to be close to you if you want to get close to him?"

    She nodded, "Go back to the queen tomorrow and send the imperial doctor to take a look."

    Cai He agreed, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Although the queen is in trouble, the master can still do this. It's been decided early, the emperor's heir is important. The slave is your subordinate, and there is no reason why he should not be loyal to you.  . Every time I enter the sign, I will put Master Tong in a prominent position, hoping that the little master will be promoted to heaven. If your family achieves enlightenment, we will also hope that the chicken and the dog will ascend to heaven."

    Songyin smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me. The chief manager and I know it well and won't treat you badly."

    Cai He smiled slumped over his shoulders and said, "There is one more thing. I originally wanted to go to the House of Internal Affairs to report to Mr. Tong. Since you are here, I will go back to you! This morning, the two nobles of Yongshou Palace came to  The eunuchs below were fighting over a branch of begonia, exposing each other's shortcomings. One scolded you for being a bad dog, and the other scolded you for being a loser. You crawled on the edge of the master's bed. After hearing this, the palace steward was afraid that there was something inside, so he came back immediately. Both of them were now dead.  Take him to the Criminal Punishment Department, and then he will be punished."

    Songyin is a girl after all. The dye vat in the Forbidden City is bottomless. Only you have never seen anything, and there is nothing that cannot happen.  She has been in the palace for so long, and she has also dealt with several cases of fights between palace residents. The rules in the palace are strict, ranging from a beating and driving them out, to severe cases such as having their heads knocked to the ground. It is basically a matter of chickens crowing and dogs stealing, and the superiors should not be alarmed.

    ¡°There are no good things to say in a fight. Once you¡¯ve been taught a lesson, just develop it.¡± She said nonchalantly, ¡°Don¡¯t report it back to the chief manager.¡±

    Cai He was very hesitant and looked at her again and again, "To put it bluntly, the young butler may not have heard of it. There are also some scandalous things in the palace. The phrase 'climbing on the edge of the master's bed',  It is a huge crime. Not only the person who told the story, but also the one who was mentioned must be investigated severely. There was such a flaw in Emperor Gaozong's harem. The eunuch served his master and served him on the kang. When something happened, he had no choice but to  There was a huge uproar for hiring an imperial doctor, and the master's face was lost. It was a taboo in the palace for concubines to hang out with eunuchs. When I first heard this, I was so frightened that I couldn't return to my seat. If it was true, I didn't know it would be implicated.  how many people."

    Songyin didn¡¯t want to understand, ¡°Aren¡¯t all the eunuchs purified? Why¡­¡±

    Cai He smiled awkwardly, "People are the most intelligent things in the world. If this end is missing, the other end can be repaired. Mr. Jiao, Mian Ling ahem, there is always a way." He patted his mouth, "My mouth  Don't be surprised that the lack of cover has dirty the young steward's ears. Anyway, that's what it means. You see what to do. If I get to the bottom of it, I'm afraid there is something, and it will make Shenggong angry. You should come up with an idea.  , assign trustworthy people to interrogate, and understand the beginning and end first."

    Songyin felt that this matter should be very serious. If the concubine really had an affair with the eunuch, she didn't know how much chaos it would cause.  Let¡¯s put the Ruyi Pavilion plan aside for the time being. We have to go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss ideas.  After all, she is a girl, so she doesn't want to ask about this matter. She understands and leaves it to Amma.

    She hurriedly walked out of Qianqing Gate, and it started to rain heavily.  She ran to the Longzong Gate, where there was an eaves to shelter from the rain. She hesitated for a moment and wanted to rush out, but then she realized that the rain was getting heavier and heavier. If she ran out, she would probably get soaked.

    She was dejected, but fortunately there were many eunuchs coming and going, so she planned to wait and someone would pass by naturally.  Leaning against the door frame and looking east, there were only a few imperial guards guarding the Qianqing Palace. Rong Shi went to Changchun Garden today and was not in the palace.  She looked at the street that day. The green bricks were shining with oil after being soaked by the rain. The palace palaces were reflected in the water.

    Since he was not here, she didn¡¯t have much hope, so she carefully considered what Cai He said.  Just after thinking about it for a while, I saw a yellow cotin umbrella coming slowly. The umbrella holder had a rising dragon embroidered on the corners of his anthracite robe. He stepped into the puddle with his soap boots, looking fearless and carefree. Just by looking at these, you knew it was  Who.

    How come we always meet him? She couldn't run away and stood there to greet him.  The umbrella tilted forward, covering most of his body, and then straightened when it was in front of him. It turned out to be that annoying face.

    Songyin immediately decided to implement the original plan. What do you like about her?  Like her understanding?  Or are you still calm?  She could do the opposite.

    She bowed slightly to him, "It's such a coincidence that I met Mr. Liu again. Are you here to give me an umbrella?"

    He frowned and looked at her. This time he reacted quickly and didn't have to go around in circles. It didn't seem like a bad thing.  He nodded hesitantly."I was on duty today and saw you didn't bring an umbrella."

    Songyin raised his eyes and saw that the window of the military aircraft check-in room was facing the Longzong Gate. She had already caught his eye while standing here.  She exhaled a breath of turbidity from the bottom of her lungs. She had never done anything recklessly. She had always lived a very careful life, fearing to offend others and fear others would have prejudices against her.  Now it's okay, it's bad luck for him, let him see her slovenliness.

    She took the umbrella over politely, "Thank you, I'll go then."

    She was about to turn around, but he reached out and pulled her, "Just leave like that?"

    She said yes of course, "I thanked you. If you are reluctant to part with this umbrella, why don't you take it back?"

    He was choked by what she said, and after thinking for a while he said, "Of course I want the umbrella, but I have to let you go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I'll give it to you."

    She handed the umbrella back to him again, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Six."

    Prince Yu was a little surprised. She seemed to be very abnormal. He should at least be grateful to him for holding the umbrella.  As a result, he knew she did it on purpose, but there was still a vague cuteness about her nature being released.

    He took the umbrella handle and smiled approvingly at her, "I don't seem to recognize you."

    "Where do you start talking about this? I am still me, and I am still a good slave of Master Six." She said this, but her attitude was completely different. She turned around and said let's go, and stepped into the rain first.

    He almost missed her due to an oversight, so he hurriedly chased after her and covered her under the umbrella.  The two were walking side by side, and she had a straight face, expressionless.  He began to think about whether it was the hasty kiss on the Mid-Autumn Festival that made her hold a grudge to this day?  It all started out as teasing, but later things changed. He had had women before, and there was no brother from the emperor's family who didn't touch his body.  There are concubines at home, and he occasionally accepts invitations from his buddies, and there are beauties to accompany him at banquets, but there are so many women, but no one of them can make his heart sway with just a kiss.  With a sandy mouth and a golden heart, she is so special that people can't help but explore her.  Before, it was just for a certain purpose. As time went by, that feeling became weaker and weaker. Today, I can no longer find the original intention. I just feel that this person is suitable for him and can help him build a career in the future.

    How many women in this world can control the entire Forbidden City?  Only her.  If he wants to do big things, he needs a Fujin who can keep up with his thinking, who can always remind him and support him when he is confused.  Other women can be embellishments, but she is the backbone.  There are women everywhere who know how to act coquettishly and compete for favors, who take the overall situation into consideration and strategize without second thoughts.  Maybe she is not experienced enough, but given time, she may become the most prestigious queen.  He sees her value and is going to start taking her seriously, but hopefully it's not too late.

    But she didn¡¯t seem to be very interested in him, and her mouth was drooped with a lack of interest. If the person next to her were Rong Sil, would she be smiling?

    He frowned, "You still hate me?"

    "Which one is Mr. Liu talking about?"

    It seemed that he had offended her a lot, so he sighed slowly, "I offended you that night in the Old Summer Palace, do you still blame me?"

    She wished she could bite off a piece of his flesh to satisfy her hatred, but she couldn't go too far, as she couldn't control it properly, or he might think she was acting coquettishly.  She shook her head, "I walked in the palace and never saw anything, so this is nothing." She picked her nose unseemly, "Sixth Master, don't take it to heart."

    When Prince Yu saw her move, his expression froze, but it was still acceptable. Maybe her nose and eyes were itchy and she couldn't help it. This is human nature and it's nothing.

    He said: "I'm not joking with you, I think you"

    She reached out and moved the umbrella handle towards her, "It's dripping on me." After saying that, she smiled and said, "Don't mention what happened that day. I'm a girl and I don't even care about it. How can Mr. Liu, a man, be so fussy about it?"  ? Can you focus on holding the umbrella? Are you sending me off or are you here to talk to me? Look at the heavy rain, it's all splashing on me."

    He was a little confused. She was rambling here and there, seemingly casually without thinking.  He paused and looked at her, "Songyin, I said I wanted to marry you as a blessing, did you hear me?"

    She tilted her head and looked at him, "You are getting married soon, and you are still thinking about the pot while you are eating. Is that okay? Do you know why I like Rongshi more? Because I am the only one who promised Rongshi."

    He said in surprise: "Last time you just said that the girls from the Tong family don't act young."

    She grinned and said, "My Ama only has one wife, my Enie. If I want to learn from my Enie, I have to find an ordinary man. Who are you? You are the prince and the emperor's younger brother. Can you only have me as your wife?"  ?" She waved her hand, "If you can't do it, don't eat and occupy too much, and leave a way for others to survive. Why am I with Rongshi? Aren't I following your order? You can't blame me,  You can¡¯t blame Rong Shi. Originally, I thought you were quite nice, ??You have a high status and good looks, but you marry two people at once, and you still ask me to wait for you. I don't want to be such a bully.  In this case, you should take good care of your friends, talk to them more, and listen to their thoughts.  When you are happy, you may forget about me.  "

    He was just a little annoyed. At the beginning, he only said that he wanted to be the first, but he gave her the first, but in the end, she went even further and wanted to be the only one.  He is not a village man in the mountains, he has ambitions for thousands of miles.  What does it take to consolidate Chao Gang?  The biggest method is marriage. The harem is filled with girls from the civil and military ministers' families. This world is in his hands and he can hold it.  If there is only one, his future fate may not be as good as that of the one in the Hall of Cultivation of Heart!

    But a woman has selfish motives, which means that she has a good impression of you from another aspect.  If you don't like it, why do you want it exclusive?

    Thinking of this, she felt a lot more comfortable. She told her kindly, "They are just bricks used to strengthen the palace wall. Why do you take them seriously? As long as you are the direct descendant of Fujin, you can follow me into the Ancestral Temple in the future."  , to be worshiped by future generations, isn¡¯t that enough?¡±

    She scratched her scalp, "You haven't even woken up while alive, who cares about what happens after you die! I'm just looking forward to it, you get those two back, and then come back and tell me whether you want to marry me or not."

    He felt that she was deliberately being unreasonable in order to be with Rong Shi.  If he really listened to her, he would immediately become a well-known joke.  If a woman's heart is not with you, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.  His desire to have a good talk with her was shattered. It seemed that the only way to put pressure on her was to stop her from being presumptuous.

    He calmed down and walked forward, "I respect you and don't want to force you. Unfortunately, if you don't cherish it, then there's nothing I can do. I'm bound to win" As he said this, he suddenly realized that no one was around.  When she looked back, she was lying on the ground in despair and fell again.  I got up and sat on the ground, covered in mud.  He was stunned, what happened to this man? Is the bottom plate unstable? Why did he fall again?  Or did you break your brain at Guangji Temple last time and become a fool?  For the first time, he felt helpless and stretched out his hand to pull her, "Stand up quickly!"

    She reluctantly supported the wall and stood up, her face was wet with rain and itchy.  He raised his hand to wipe it, and the moss on the back of his hand rubbed against his face, like a dirty cat. He lowered his voice and said to him: "I don't know what's going on recently. I will definitely fall down every three days and I will be unbeatable. Let me tell you.  , I may be crazy. I finished placing the coffin of the noble Lord Xi that day, and my back always felt cold. There is a tea rack in my yard. I saw someone walking under the rack several times at night. When I shouted, he faced the wall.  Standing motionless, it's probably a ghost, brought back from Guangji Temple." She touched the back of her neck, "When the sun comes out tomorrow, I'll go to Dongyue Temple and ask the old master to take a look.  After all, I am young and I still want to live a few more years."

    She was suspicious and threatening, but he knew what she was thinking and would not believe her, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "I know a few lamas. If you are really troubled, let them put a big cymbal next to your ear."  That¡¯s fine, there¡¯s no point in going to Dongyue Temple.¡±

    She shrank under his umbrella and said with a smile: "That's right. The Lord of Hell and the little devil are enshrined in Dongyue Temple. The sheep enters the tiger's mouth." Just after she finished speaking, she sneezed loudly and hit Prince Yu directly in the face.  It sprayed all over his face.

    He was almost driven crazy by her. He rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face. He said angrily: "If you keep making trouble, I will go to the Queen Mother to ask for marriage! Anyway, we are marrying two, and we are marrying three, so we might as well go in together."  .¡±

    She looked at him seriously, "Sixth Master thinks I'm troublesome and dirty, so why don't you marry me?" She smiled, "You should think about it again, do you want a housekeeper or a Fujin?  Or are you stingy and want to spend a fortune to let me hold two jobs? If that's the case, I won't do it. I'm doing well in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a salary and an official position, and I don't plan to change places.  Thank you for your kindness.¡±

    When she spoke, she entered the internal affairs government. There was still a section from the main entrance. She didn't hide under his umbrella. She rolled mud horizontally and vertically.  She squatted down in a hurry, ran and jumped into the yamen. As for what happened to the prince, she had no control over it.

    Shuming was shocked when he saw her sloppy appearance, "What's going on? The rabbit is covered in mud and has been soaked in the rain?"

    Songyin said with a smile: "I'm trying to stir up trouble in front of the Sixth Prince, but the effect is probably not very good. It's too difficult for a smart person to pretend to be stupid. Forget about it for now, I'll go to the Jingshi Room to check the robbers. Cai He was arrested earlier.  I sent two eunuchs to the Sentence Department to tell them that the slaves slept on the master's bed. I can't come forward, so you can go and investigate!"

    When Shu Ming heard that the matter was serious, he took off his hat and led others out.

    Songyin slowly changed his clothes and knitted his head again. As soon as he sat down, he saw a little eunuch from the sweeping department running in in the rain. He put his knees on the ground and said, "Mr. Tong, something happened."

    She groaned, "What happened?"

    The little eunuch headed toward Cining Palace.??, "The beautiful aunt in the Queen Mother's Palace sent a servant to deliver a message to you. The Queen Mother is recruiting General Manager Lu of the Yangxin Palace. She seems to be using the excuse of Long Live Lord catching a cold to blame General Manager Lu for not reporting it to the police and to develop General Manager Lu.  "

    Songyin¡¯s heart tightened, ¡°When did it happen?¡±

    The little eunuch said: "I saw Mr. Lu entering Cining Palace before having a cup of tea. Little Mr. Lu should think of something right now!"

    Songyin waved his hand casually, turned around and saw a stack of brochures for the comprador of Prince Yu's Mansion on the table. He folded them and went to Cining Palace
