    The emperor spent the whole night recruiting people for discussions, and Songyin and his daughter avoided them whenever they could. They were not even on duty that night, and they all went home quickly as soon as they got off the key.  Latest [Please go to the latest chapter of this book]

    Songyin inquired about Quan Guiren, and her Amma said: "How can such a shameful thing be dealt with? If you kill him and prove the crime, the emperor can't afford to shame that person, so he has to be mute and eat coptis. The eunuch was sent far away to Xinzheku.  , the two masters are not good at governing, they have demoted the promise and moved out of Yongshou Palace, there is no hope in this life."

    The noble man who had an affair with the eunuch was not an exaggeration if he was demoted or even stabbed.  I feel sorry for the other one. He did not provoke anyone, so his confusion became a shield.  It's hard for a beautiful girl to earn her position since she enters the palace. Her brother Amar has not made any achievements and cannot help her, so she relies entirely on her own ability.  To win over the eunuchs and please the emperor, you need to show your heart.  If you can win the Holy Family, your advancement to the position will not be a matter of jumping up and down, you have to climb up one level at a time.  However, after so many years of accumulation of virtue, there is no mercy at all when it comes to being demoted. There are not a few people who are demoted from concubines to nobles, and who agree to be demoted from nobles.  However, it is too unjust to be implicated for such a thing, and there is no way to defend this injustice. Who let the eunuch who can't control his mouth be one of her subordinates?  When a slave commits a crime, the master suffers a disaster. His teeth are knocked out and his blood is swallowed, and he has nothing to say.

    "But in terms of consequences, the two who secretly communicated will definitely be worse.  Those who have been wronged may not be re-promoted, and it won't take long for a noble person to "die violently", that's for sure.  The emperor tolerated Prince Yu for more than ten years because the empress dowager was still alive and did not have such good patience with low-level concubines and servants.  The eunuch's six senses are not intact and he can't be considered a human being. The emperor's woman hangs out with pigs and dogs, and her turban is so green that she can't bear it.

    "Some people are at the end of their lives, and some people are prosperous in officialdom. It all depends on the emperor's thoughts.

    Rong Shi was promoted to the rank of minister of bodyguards, to the title of first rank.  This official title is responsible for the security of the palace. No Han has ever been able to take on this position. Now that the emperor has promoted him like this, his responsibilities have become heavier after his promotion.

    Everyone in the Tong family learned the news, but they didn't understand the pros and cons, and everyone praised Rong for his promise.

    "Er Niu has a good eye for people. If we get married in the future, the son-in-law's title will be higher than that of the father-in-law!" The old lady said happily, "I think this kid looks good and speaks well."  Proportion and character are also valuable. When Prince Yu's marriage is done, you can relax with him and let the Rong family make preparations, and settle the marriage first to avoid long nights and dreams."

    Who is willing to let go of such a quick son-in-law?  There are many daughters in the families of Beijing officials above the fourth rank, and you don't know how many of them have already taken a liking to him. Now that he has been promoted, his popularity is soaring to the sky.  Since the two children are interested, but Prince Yu is unable to marry him easily, we should first exchange the Geng Tie, as if making a contract. Once we have the basis, we don't have to worry about it in the future.  To be honest, it is not easy to marry a girl like Songyin. Her husband's family hopes that the daughter-in-law will stay at home, even if she doesn't care about anything. When the man comes back, he will bring a pair of shoes and a basin of water to wash his feet, making the room look like an IKEA.  As for Songyin, she has some errands to do. Seeing that Tian'er is busy, it's not that she doesn't have the ability, but that she can't spare any time.  This is also a test for men. Most people like husbands and wives to follow each other. If a man is promising, the woman will live dependent on him.  In this way, it is difficult to find high-ranking officials like the Rong family who are willing to take care of them even with a lantern, so it is really not satisfactory.

    Songyin felt a little embarrassed and said with a blush, "I've been very busy lately. I haven't seen him for two days. When the time comes, I'll convey the old lady's words to him."

    The third wife said: "Don't take it as a coincidence. You can find him when you have free time. If you don't keep an eye on him, others will. The man who is accompanying Aunt Sun in my room is the uncle and brother of Nanny Rongshi. Last time  The family gathered together to chat, and mentioned that the old lady of the Rong family was a distant relative. A widow came with her son and a daughter. The daughter was already in her late teens, and she was ready to be married. Why did she come to Beijing? I heard that the old lady of the Rong family came to the capital.  The wife stayed, but she didn¡¯t say anything clearly, but she couldn¡¯t leave the intention of marrying her. That little family couldn¡¯t be a serious wife, but she could still be a concubine. The Rong family is just a seedling in a thousand hectares of land. Of course, the more children it has, the better it will be.  Okay. If you really want to be a concubine, that's it. How many men don't take concubines nowadays? I'm afraid that if someone has their own intentions, the young lady will be pregnant with the child before she comes in, and she will be a coward by then."

    Songyin sat there in a daze. This was what she was afraid of. Cousins ??always made people feel uneasy.  Besides, they are now under the same roof. Regardless of whether the old lady has this intention or not, the relatives should have this intention.  [ ] Otherwise, the children are all in their teens and are about to grow up, so there is no need to seek refuge with relatives.  [ ]

    Fortunately, she trusts Rong Shi, he is not that kind of person.  Are there many beauties in Sijiu City?  I haven¡¯t seen him wandering around anywhere else. Did this cousin lose his temper as soon as he arrived?

    The old lady smiled cheerfully, "The Rong family is also a respectable family, and they are not just dishes on the plate. The people in Hanjunqi have a high vision. If you find a poor family who is timid in everything, how can you hold the door open?Boss?  "

    The third wife said: "No matter what, it is always right to pay attention to yourself. How can I not worry about not seeing you for two days? You are all working in the palace, and you are not looking at the sea from across the mountain, so you don't have time to say a few words?"

    Songyin was confused by her analysis, but he refused to give in and said with a smile: "Last time he came to visit me, he also talked about his relatives at home. We have made a plan to find a job for that brother.  When they can take care of it on their own, let them buy another house and move out. This is really not going to work. The children are older and it is inconvenient to live in one place" After talking about it, I became a little discouraged and began to wonder what Rongshi had done in the past two days.  , will I meet that cousin?  The girl has a pitiful background, and a few tears are the best. Don't extinguish her temper.  Anyway, she has her own ideas. If you don't care, I will give up.  If she really got involved with someone, she wouldn't be able to speak, just stay a mile away.

    The old lady told the ladies that they would invite him to their house for dinner when they had time. Songyin remembered that the dinner they had arranged had never been fulfilled. They were busy with errands and the two of them could never get together.  This is the case now and it should be the case in the future.  She went back to the house dejectedly and sat in a daze under the lamp.  I miss him after not seeing him for two days. Now that he has been promoted to the first rank, I am afraid he will be even busier in the future.  Now the emperor has to deal with Prince Yu, and the Tong family is also at the forefront of the storm. They haven't figured out how to deal with it yet.  But if he stood on the emperor's side, she would have nothing to worry about here. She couldn't go against him!

    I slept in a daze all night, with heavy thoughts and dreams all night long until dawn.

    At the fifth watch, you have to get up when the rooster crows, wash up, change clothes, and go out. The sky is still hazy at that time.  There was already a sedan waiting outside. She picked up her robe and walked down the steps. She looked up and saw a man standing in the place illuminated by the lantern. He was wearing a unicorn patchwork suit and a hat with a red tassel knotted top. He was patiently fidgeting with a beeswax bracelet.  The tassels of Huilong's beard brushed against the back of his hand, and the jade color was not as white and delicate as his skin.  He is also gentle and calm, smiling before he speaks.

    Songyin felt warm in her heart. She missed him all night yesterday, but she didn't expect that he would come to pick her up this morning.  When she stepped out, he stretched out his hands underneath and greeted her like an adult picking up a child.  She was also stupid, and she buried herself in his arms. There was a bearer beside her, and she didn't shy away from it. She asked him in a gentle voice: "How early and late did you come? Have you eaten?"

    He said: "Not long after I came here, I have been too busy these two days. After all, I haven't seen you for nineteen hours. This is not possible. I dreamed about you last night, saying that you scolded me for being heartless.  I don¡¯t care about you, I have to come and see you no matter what today.¡±

    It¡¯s really strange. Could it be that the two of them really understand each other, and he knows it as soon as she misses him?  At first, I was a little nervous, not thinking about this or that, but when I met him, all those uncertainties were gone. His eyes were full of eyes, and my heart was as calm as water. Even if there were waves, they were stirred by him.

    Although he has become a first-class person, his occasional childishness has not changed.  He said he loved cooking, he was good at it, and he had thought about using this to win over his wife, and he never forgot it.  He took out a paper bag and stuffed it into her hand, "I know you don't want to eat in the morning. It's so harmful to your health. I got up early and made a plate of shortcakes for you to use in the sedan chair."

    Songyin held the paper bag in front of her chest and opened it to see that the snack was still hot, baked finely and beautifully, and the faint milky aroma floated into her nose.  She raised her face and smiled, "Thank you so much, Mr. Rong. I haven't congratulated Mr. Rong on your promotion yet. There are two first-rank officials in the family, but if you ask me in the capital, no one has such a smooth career."

    He lowered his head and grinned, "That's not all. In the future, Manager Xiao Tong will take over the title of Minister of the Interior, and our family will have an additional official and second grade member."

    She blushed and chuckled, "Speaking of this, my grandma said yesterday that as soon as Mr. Liu's wedding is over, you can come to your house to propose marriage whenever it's convenient!"

    They never mince words in their communication, and if they say anything directly, Rong Shi is so shocked that he can't find his way around early in the morning.  He said in astonishment: "The old lady agreed?" When he reacted, he was elated, "The old lady is so considerate. I have been looking forward to it every day, but I didn't expect that she would agree. I" He started to circle around, looking for his long hair.  Then, he waved his hand and said, "Don't follow me. Go back to the old lady and ask her to quickly look at the gift list. Is there anything missing? Is it enough? If not, add more. Prepare to welcome the young lady."

    Changsui had been following him for many years. With a command, he jumped on his horse and walked away with a whip.

    Songyin couldn't help but laugh when he saw this situation, "Why did you get caught up in just one moment? There are so many things to do right now, don't worry about it for a moment."

    He said: "No matter how many things there are, what can be more important than me getting a wife? I can take care of the court's maintenance. If my wife runs away, it won't be mine. I'm not stupid. I never do business at a loss."  He helped her get on the sedan, holding the sedan curtain with one hand, his face half hidden behind the cordyceps-patterned brocade curtain, with a shy and excited look, "Let me help you with the sedan, it's just right."say something.  "

    Songyin said awkwardly: "I even sent my girl to hold the sedan chair, so why bother Master Rong?" After thinking about it, she got off the sedan chair and said, "Let's walk into the Donghua Gate together."

    It was still early, and it was not far from the Forbidden City. It took only two cups of tea to walk there, so he called the bearer back, and the two of them walked forward hand in hand in the dim morning light.  The vendors who got up early to do business were already busy opening their shop doors, and the sound of unloading row boards could be heard everywhere.  Songyin joked with him, "You have been promoted. It's time to celebrate. Are you planning to have a banquet at home?"

    He clasped his hands behind his back and raised his neck, sighing, "Now that I have been ordered to do something in danger, there is nothing to celebrate. It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I am an enemy of Prince Yu, so I am not afraid of offending him. What about you? What did your Ama say?"

    Songyin said: "My third sister is in the palace, and she won't go to the emperor. What should I do if I don't face the emperor? Besides, there is you, and the flag master has to step aside. The emperor recruited cabinet ministers last night, and I don't know how he decided on it in the end"

    She said it unintentionally, but the listener did it intentionally. She smiled with high spirits, "Flag Master, stand aside. I like to hear this. In the past, he was a top grade, and I was a second grade, which is far behind. Now I  After being promoted to a rank, do you know what I am happiest about? I am not much worse than him now that I have become the Great Zhang Jing and honored my ancestors. Even if I go into battle with him in the ring, I don¡¯t have to give in to him. I can just leave him alone if I want to.  Chaotian, what a joy! But don¡¯t worry, I can¡¯t confront him head-on normally. I act according to orders, not to avenge a personal vendetta, at most, I stumble a little and make him suffer some hidden losses. You said you want to celebrate, that¡¯s right.  It's time to celebrate, let's go have a banquet tomorrow, the food on the table has been delayed for more than a month, and it won't work if we leave it alone."

    She hummed, "I will be on night duty tonight and will be off duty at noon tomorrow. What about you?"

    He said: "I'm going to sleep, but the Long Live Lord is now very anxious to mobilize the guards of the two flags, and plans to send the people with yellow flags to the south of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so I'm not as relaxed as before. I'll pick you up at noon, let's  Let's go out together. After eating, you go home and I'll come back to the palace."

    "Then how urgent are you? If you don't wait any longer, no one will miss that meal." She didn't say it too thoroughly. In fact, she just cherished the time she spent with him, talked after eating, and was not in a hurry.  Slow is better.

    They are not like ordinary men and women, they are always in a hurry and can't even take time to spend time together.  He is currently a new official. When he was the commander, he only focused on his own area. Now that he is the minister, the entire Forbidden City is under his control from south to north, and he is busier than usual.  He felt a little ashamed of her, "Sister, I have to be busy in the future, you won't blame me, right?"

    She smiled and said, "I won't be idle even if you are busy, let's just work together!"

    ??????????? It¡¯s true that I¡¯m right, it¡¯s just the same thing, don¡¯t care about anyone.  Rong Shi always felt that he had taken advantage of him. Take his father as an example. He was a bachelor who was in charge of all the ancient book collections in the imperial city, repaired books for the emperor, and was also the chief master of the academy and the sub-academy. He was very busy.  No one was seen for months.  The wife at home is considered considerate, and she will poke her forehead and scold her when she is annoyed. The whole family is supported by women, and men are never seen walking around in this family's affairs, and that family's affairs. It's all women who socialize.  If she and Songyin were together, you would be busy and I would be busy too. In the future, I would legitimately let my servants take care of things, and she would not think that he had no time to accompany her.  It's just that we get together less and separate more, and I don't know how to worry about it when the time comes.

    He lowered his hand to hold her, interlocking his fingers with hers. Her fingers were so thin and girlish that they looked like they would be broken if he pushed them out.  She leaned over, hugged his arm, and said softly: "That Yichen, I entrusted him to Shunfu from the manufacturing office, and asked him to wait at the palace gate every morning. He will handle the shopping outside. As long as  Be diligent, and when you get it, let him contact those imperial merchants. If you do it well, you will make a fortune very quickly."

    He didn¡¯t take it too seriously, ¡°I¡¯m embarrassed that you worry about it. In fact, you¡¯re just a distant relative, just looking for a job as long as you¡¯re hungry.¡±

    Songyin really wanted to talk to him about her worries, but she couldn't speak for fear that he would think she was petty.  He responded casually and started talking about Lu Runlai, "It's really pitiful that he's injured like that, and it's embarrassing for the Queen Mother. Although he is a eunuch, he is a very decent man. Isn't he Zuojian Long Live Lord Zuojian? Now it's better,  Beating him so hard that his legs were broken and his arms were broken, the emperor was forced to be cruel. What good would he gain? I have to go and see him later. I wonder if he is feeling better."

    Rong Shi was dissatisfied upon hearing this, "Where did you say the cane was struck?"

    This was a strange question, "Of course I'll spank you on the butt."

    "You go and look at his butt when it's injured but you can't look at his butt, it's not good."

    Songyin looked at him like a fool, "You just treat other people's butts and hang them there for others to look at? I saw what his butt was doing, it was all bruised and it didn't look good."

    He pouted and tweaked, "Why don't you stop looking, I'llJust send someone to give him something nourishing.  Don't run there, men and women are different.  "

    "He is a eunuch, how can there be any difference between men and women?" After saying this, she puffed up her cheeks and said, "You also have a cousin in your house. I heard that your old lady wants her to give you a baby.  Do you want to spread the branches and leaves for you?"

    He was shocked, "Who is setting me up behind my back? Our old lady has never said this before. The Rong family is a scholarly family. How can we hire people and find concubines at the same time? This is not what humans do."

    "You don't mean that, what about others?" she said sourly, "Maybe they have this purpose. Now that the words are out, I want to force the old lady to give accurate information. Isn't that what you want?" She paused and asked.  He said, "Tell me, is Cousin Yizhuang good-looking?"

    He frowned and thought for a while, "You're short, like a half-grown child, what's so good about you! No matter how good-looking you are, I can't compare to you. I like you like this. You have a heroic appearance, a face, and breasts."

    There was a buzz in Songyin's head. When he looked down, he saw that the chest under the official uniform was indeed rising, and it looked like a woman's.  She immediately blushed and hugged her breasts to prevent him from seeing her, "You keep chewing your tongue!"

    He said with a shy smile, "That's what I said, that's a child, it looks like a mung bean sprout. I have a high level of vision and I can't look down on that. Don't misunderstand me." Looking forward,  After crossing the Tongzi River, there was the Donghua Gate. A guard stood holding a knife on the door. He quietly pulled her sleeve, turned his head, and kissed her on the face.

    Songyin was embarrassed to continue making trouble after being approached like this.  She just felt that this person was really a scoundrel, and she was not allowed to see Lu Run, but she stayed under the same roof with her cousin.  She was jealous and made fun of her figure. What did she mean?

    She looked at him resentfully, "Kiss him again if you can."

    He really had the ability. He kissed her on the face, then moved over and kissed her mouth to mouth again.  This kind of thing is addictive and both people like it.  It was just when the honey was being mixed with oil that someone shouted from behind: "Rongshi, who are you sucking at?"

    Songyin panicked. She was usually so prudent, but today she forgot that Donghua Gate was not a good place to fall in love.  This place, especially at this time, is full of officials who have entered the palace and are waiting to go to court. They are entangled here, and it is almost embarrassing to be caught.

    She covered her face, turned around and saw Prince Lao Wugong, and was so frightened that she wiped her head and left.  After passing the Donghua Gate, I heard Rong Shishi and Prince Gong showing off, "I'm going to get a wife, the best wife in the world It won't be long. When the time comes, I'll post a message to the Fifth Master. You must come."  ¡­¡±

    She didn¡¯t dare to stay and ran across the inner stone bridge in a hurry.  I don't know if it was an illusion, but the guards looked at her differently. Maybe her ugly appearance caught other people's eyes, and they all laughed at her!

    She raised her head and howled silently, her reputation was ruined and her old face was disgraced!  She put her hands into her hair and scratched it several times. When she entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, her hat was tilted and her temples were messy, as if she had escaped from the house.  Her mother was startled, "Did you meet a robber? Why did it happen like this?"

    She said it was nothing with her head drooping, and went back to her room.

    After having arranged all her official duties for the first half of the day, she left the inner court and went to the City God's Temple. When she arrived in front of Lu Run's enclosure, she saw that the grape trellis was even worse than it was the day before. The dead leaves fell down and fell on the bamboo tables and benches.  Unspeakable depression and neglect.  She walked over, swept down the fallen leaves with a flick of her sleeves, scooped up a ladle of water and watered the flowers and plants under the eaves, and then came in to see him.

    He was still lying on the kang, with a teenage child in front of him looking after her. When he saw her, he called Qian'er and said, "Master Xiao Tong is here?"

    Songyin nodded, "Zaichun, how is your godfather?"

    Zaichun looked back, lowered his hands and said, "I'm thinking about you, Lord Meng. I was in severe pain last night, but it got better after one night. The emperor sent someone to bring some white medicine, and my servant applied it to my godfather. The wound had dried up and he was gone."  There was blood flowing out.¡±

    Songyin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." He handed over the paper bag in his hand, "There is wild ginseng in it. You can make some white tiger soup to help your godfather gain energy."

    Zaichun took it with both hands, bowed and went out.  Lu Runfang raised his head and said awkwardly: "It's so rude of me to be like this. Please forgive me for not getting off the kang. Master Tong, please sit down."

    Song Yin didn't take it seriously, "You're just too polite. We're not strangers, so there's no need to be polite. I'm concerned about your injury, and I'll come to see you after all the matters from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are assigned." As he spoke, he looked at his face carefully.  , after all, he had been tortured, and he had a poor foundation, so he looked a lot haggard.  She lowered her voice and asked him, "What do you think? Is the doctor from yesterday okay? If not, please change to another one."

    He put on a smile. Even at this point, he was still gentle and without any sharpness. "If you are hurt, just be patient."It has to be taken care of slowly, no matter how good the doctor is, it can't cure the disease.  Sit down and let's talk for a while.  "

    Having known him for so long, he has never asked to talk to her.  Songyin said hello hurriedly, took Taozi and sat down in front of his Kang
