    She had been to Prince Yu's Mansion once, so the concierge might not recognize her, but the stewards in the manor had an impression of her.  (800)Novel/Novel/

    It was getting dark, so she put on a straw hat and entered Asmen. Haha Zhuzi led her to the kitchen in the back, but she ignored him. She put down her burden and asked someone to move the things in the basket away. She turned around and asked, "Where is the prince?"

    The concierge was a little surprised. Where did the wild mud-footed pole come from? He walked straight in and wanted to see the prince.  His voice was not very good, "Open your eyes and see where this is. Is the prince something you can see if you want?"

    She took off her hat and revealed her face, "Please pass a message for me. Tong Jiasongyin has something to report to the prince."

    Her name is now quite famous, and she has been serving as an official for more than half a year. Probably no one in Sijiu City knows that the Tong family has a daughter who is an official.

    The porter was startled and said, "I'm sorry. I'm so blind that I didn't recognize Mr. Tong. Don't be surprised. Please wait a moment. I'll send someone to send a message to the prince."  , please sit down and rest your legs."

    She was in no mood to sit, she just wanted to finish her work quickly and get out of here.  It attracts attention during the day, but it is inconvenient to come at night.  To be honest, Prince Yu's character was not very good, and she was a little afraid of being alone with him.  But now that we are here, we have to pretend to be calm no matter how worried we are.  She put her hands behind her hands and looked north. She saw that there were only five or six days before the wedding, and everything that needed to be done had already been arranged. The paintings under the eaves were newly painted, and the water chestnuts on the doors and windows were repainted with red paint. This big mansion looked very beautiful.  There is a prosperous atmosphere.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhuzi ran very fast, and called Qianer when he arrived, "The prince is in the study, please Mr. Tong, please come with me."

    Songyin followed. There were several places in Prince Yu¡¯s study. The second entrance, third entrance and garden were all arranged.  This time it was in the garden. There was a waterside pavilion to the north of the pond where we fished last time.  Therefore, this man's ambition is everywhere, everything is like an emperor's career, and he is really not afraid of impeachment.

    Haha Zhuzi picked up a lantern to light up the corridor. When she was going up the steps, she hung the lantern low and asked her to be careful where she steps.  Songyin looked up, and saw that the dead wind in front of the waterside pavilion was covered with crimson silk, and the lights flickered, illuminating the reflection in the lake, as if an isolated mountain temple was bathing in the setting sun, giving it an eerie and erotic feel.

    She followed him and went up the winding corridor. When she was about to reach the door, she announced loudly, "Master, I want to see you."

    A figure gradually moved over. It was a blurry mass at first, and then gradually condensed into a slender outline with a neat hair crown.  Opening the door, the night wind poured into the study, making his sleeves bulge. For a moment, she thought he would be taken away and flew away to the sky.  He didn't look like he was smiling. He glanced at her lightly and stepped aside without saying anything.  Song Bank saluted, and even though his heart was pounding, he went in anyway.  He turned around and closed the door with his backhand.

    "Ye Ben?" He looked her up and down. She was wearing a servant's clothes. She was a young lady, but she was never delicate. She was as bold as a man in important matters. There really was a monster in the Tong family.  He tilted his head slightly and gave her what he thought was the most beautiful profile, "Why do you dress like this when you come to see me? Are you afraid of Rong Shi's misunderstanding? Or are you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

    Songyin didn't look at him much, just stared at her toes, and said no, "I came here to inform the master on the orders of my Ama."

    He raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of ventilation is there? What kind of news are you reporting?"

    Songyin repeated the words she had made up on the road, "Do you know that Lu Run was punished by Lafayette? The emperor was angry because of this and did not allow the princes to enter and leave Cining Palace at will. Yesterday, he announced the cabinet ministers and ordered them to  I have collected the charges against the master and planned to draft a report so that I can take the opportunity to deal with you. My Amma got the news and sent me overnight to remind the master and ask the master to pay attention. If Long Live Master makes up his mind, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the master.  Make preparations in advance in case of any eventuality.¡±

    His expression was indifferent, not surprised, "I'm sorry for you, Amma, but you still have eyes for me. You are working for the emperor, why would you tell me such an important thing?"

    Songyin used all his enthusiasm to show his extreme loyalty. He took a step forward and said, "Master Mingjian, our Tong family has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for generations. This is the grace given by Emperor Tai/Ancestor. The yellow flag has always been raised by the emperor's relatives."  Army, we serve the master with no two intentions. But this life is really weird. The owner of the yellow flag is not the emperor. To be honest with the master, we are caught in the middle. Sometimes we are indeed in a dilemma, but the slave and Ama have a sense of proportion. Master  We are the ones who are close to our hearts. Let¡¯s not talk about other things, let¡¯s talk about the emperor¡¯s heir. The slaves and Ama risked the whole family to be executed in order to clear the way for the master. The slaves turned to the master with all their heart.  Master, still can¡¯t trust us?¡±

    He fell silent after hearing this, and smiled softly for a while, "You can die for your master, but you don't want to marry your master. This is your way of life, it's really strange. Read the full text of the latest chapter [ ]"

      When he brought this up, Songyin was speechless for a moment, and his body became three inches shorter. He smiled and said, "I'm here to talk to you about something serious."

    "I want to marry Fujin. Isn't it a serious matter?" He glanced at her and said, "You were a little late in reporting. I received the news yesterday. But you can come, and a big stone fell in my heart.  Damn it, at least you didn¡¯t force me to fire you, so you know what¡¯s going on.¡±

    Songyin's heart was pounding. It seemed that this trip was coming. Maybe he already knew about the emperor's illness, but regardless of whether he mentioned it or not, he had to pretend to be confused.  Spontaneous defection and forced defection are two different things. When you find that your backer is about to fall, you suddenly decide to change direction. How true is this kind of loyalty?

    She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Master is the most considerate of slaves. We in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have no regard for major affairs in the court. It was only when Eunuch Tan accidentally revealed it when my Amma and Tan Rui were chatting, that we learned about this.  I came to the master as soon as I got the news. It may be a little late, but the Tong family's love for the master is clear. Master, you have to see Zhenzhou."

    He nodded, "I see, I'm quite thoughtful."

    She smiled sarcastically and said, "Master is a saint, and I am afraid that he will suffer a secret loss. There are secret sentries around the palace, so I have no choice but to change my clothes to see you. Master, please forgive me for being abrupt."

    He looked at her with a softer look, "It's nothing, a man can bend and stretch. Although you are a woman, I admire your mind." He paused and asked her in a teasing tone, "That wasn't the case last time.  Are you possessed by an evil spirit? You saw ghosts and fell down. You haven¡¯t seen him for a few days and you¡¯re all healed up?¡±

    She cheered up and said, "I heard that the master was in trouble and he recovered immediately."

    He shouted loudly, "Young Master Daqing is really a hunter on behalf of the sky, and he also has to drive away ghosts. Don't worry, whether this time is difficult or not, I can still resist this trick." He clasped his hands behind his back and sighed longly, "You  As I said, a good slave is rare. When you give it to someone else in the future, can you still remember your original intention? The current situation is like this. The emperor and I are at odds with each other. Where will you and Rong Shi go? You and I know that. After all, the Tong family is still raising the yellow flag.  I can't find the palm of my hand. Where is Rong Shi? He is from the Outer Eight Banners and the emperor's right-hand man. You are each your own master. What will happen in the future?"

    Songyin hurriedly said: "I came here today actually to show my true feelings. He is now promoted to the Minister of Guards and takes charge of the garrison and dispatch of the entire Forbidden City. Among the guards of the Three Banners, Xiang Huangqi was demoted to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.  In the south, there are only two flags, Zhengbai and Zhenghuang, left in the north of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Zhengbai flag is the Han military flag, and they are all his people, so the master can rest assured. Besides" She hesitated, and finally wanted to plot against Guo Guiren.  .  At this moment, she and the child in her belly were the biggest bargaining chips. She originally wanted to protect them, but would never risk them unless absolutely necessary.  But now she's at a dead end. If she wants to keep the Rong family, she has to push them out.  She was also suffering in her heart. Taking advantage of the experience of Noble Xi, she was really reluctant.  However, when people live, they are always making choices.  Maybe she was selfish and abandoned them for her own happiness.  If it was just to save herself, she wouldn't touch them, but with Rong Zhen in front of her, she had no choice. She had to plan for the one she loved.

    She took a deep breath, "Due to the disappearance of the noble lady in the East and West Sixth Palace, the Guards Department conducted a thorough investigation in the name of reinforcing the access control. They found Jingqi Pavilion and found that the demoted concubine was pregnant. She was already five or six months old.  .¡±

    He was surprised, "Being demoted as a concubine?"

    Songyin responded, "Guo Guoren in front of the emperor, the one who refused to sleep with him, was banned from the palace for offending the Holy Spirit. Unexpectedly, he was already pregnant when he was thrown into the cold palace. If Rong Shi hadn't mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have been there.  Even now I don¡¯t know Master, Rong Shi is usually unconventional and never ambiguous on major matters. A good bird chooses the right tree to roost in. At the beginning, Master helped us pull strings in order to win him over. Now that Rong Shi is with us, he is also  Master, please ignore the past grudges and give Rong Shi a future in the future, so that he can do the same for your master."

    He seemed to still have doubts about her, "He is willing to defect to me? Why does this sound ridiculous now? Rong Shi, that dog-tempered master who never looks back until he hits the wall, was convinced by you just like that?"

    Songyin smiled and said, "Master, don't underestimate a woman's ability. He is not a person who cannot listen to what she says. I am doing it for his own good, so why should he rebel?"

    This news was indeed useful to him. He and the emperor had been fighting openly and covertly for more than ten years, and every time they gained the upper hand, the emperor had the ability to calm the situation down quietly.  That brother was still a brother before, but later he became like a fire and water.  Nowadays, the imperial court is divided into two factions, one is loyal to the emperor and the other supports him, but everyone is worried about the emperor having no heirs, so as long as his escape route is cut off first and he is allowed to linger, he can wait.

    He calmed down and thought: "Can you handle that matter for me?"

    What he meant was to imitate the previous noble lady's handling of the matter. Songyin thought about it carefully and realized that it was very difficult to escape his eyes, so she had no choice but to think of a way to do it.When the time comes, we will first look for a girl to fill the gap. If the child is a daughter, everything will be fine. If it is an elder brother, we will change the child and take it outside the palace. No matter where it is raised, the child's life will be saved.

    She clasped her hands together and said, "I have also thought about this. Is it possible to administer the medicine now? I have asked my trusted doctor, miscarriage within three months is very common and will not arouse suspicion. By five or six months, the child will be premature  The root has already taken root, and abortion is necessary at this time, unless there is a big change in the mother's body. Guo Guiren is a heartless child. She still needs to eat and sleep in the cold palace. Her body is as strong as an ox. If she were to die suddenly while pregnant,  It was too conspicuous. I had to wait for her to give birth, and I arranged for reliable people to take action. The child died a few days after the birth, and even if the emperor was suspicious, there was nothing he could do."

    He looked at her sideways, "Are you so cruel now? Didn't you blame me for what happened to Noble Xi?"

    She said no, "I am Liu Ye's slave, and I put the master first in everything. It turned out that I didn't think well and worked as an errand under Amma, and got by. Now the situation has become like this, could it be because of the kindness of this woman?  Have you succeeded in master's great cause? This slave knows how to do it, please don't worry, master."

    He nodded slowly, "You are devoted to me, so I should give you something in return. Tell me, what is your wish?"

    Songyin was stunned for a moment. He said it so directly. Should she tell him everything?  She bit her lip and considered it, "I am working for my master, so what can I ask of my master! If my master would be merciful and allow me to marry Rong Shi, I really like him and want to start a family with him. In the future, we will work together as husband and wife.  Serve your master and be his confidant."

    She was trembling, afraid that he would have an attack, but she didn't expect that he couldn't hold it back, and said sharply: "Really like him? What's so good about him? Aren't you a good slave of the master? Why do you refuse to follow me when I want you?"

    She was so frightened that she shrank back half a step, "Master is just at the time when he is making great achievements. Is it worth losing a general because of a burnt paper like mine? What kind of good girl can't be found for Master Yuji? I will give it to Master  Isn't it okay to arrange a draft and fill the harem to the brim? If you marry me, I will be jealous and try to occupy you. What fun would you have in being an emperor? Besides, I have to let the Tong family's legacy continue.  You and I can't do anything. What will happen to me after I become an official? Isn't my family fortune going to be ruined? Just let me hang out with Rongshi. Since you told him about me from the beginning and went back on your words, how can you  Without losing your dignity?"

    She talks cleverly, and although every sentence makes sense, when a person reaches this point, it is like eating soup, and everything she says is in vain.

    He grabbed her hand and said, "Er Yin, do you really not like me at all?"

    How should she answer this?  If it's too late to say I hate you, will you be slapped to death by him?  She explained in a roundabout way: "It's not that I don't like you, it's that I can't like you. Do you know that my grandmother and I have been married for twenty-five years? One time, my grandmother wanted to give birth to a son for Amana's concubine.  I, Enie, almost beat me to death when I found out. I follow my Enie, and I can¡¯t stand this, so I just go with Rongshi. I can still beat him if he disobeys. I can¡¯t beat you when you become the emperor, even if you are heavy  I can't even say a word, maybe I will die in depression because of this. Are you willing to see me die? No way!"

    There was still hope in his eyes, but as she spoke more and more clearly, there was nothing but desolation in his heart.  They're all excuses. Why don't you want to share them with others? Are there still people with this problem in this world?  He can promise to leave his heart to her alone, isn't that okay?  He is also crazy, and the best thing is what he can't eat. Now he sees that she is lovable in every way and is really not worthy of her.  But why doesn't she love Jiangshan?  Is the future emperor less than a minister?

    "We can solve what you said. As long as he has done something good for me, I will not treat him badly. Rongshi can continue to be a first-class official, and I can also choose another wife for him. He can choose the daughter of a high-ranking official in the court. As for the biography  To continue the question, if I make you a queen and honor the world as my mother, isn¡¯t it enough to honor your Tong family? The emperor¡¯s three palaces and six courtyards are indeed hindered by etiquette. If I promise to only love you, this will not work? "

    Songyin stared at him blankly, unable to restrain herself from laughing, "Master, what do you love about me?" She really couldn't think of anything cute about herself, and only Rong Shi, a man with shallow eyes, could look down on her.  This man fell in love with a girl for the first time. There was nothing bad about her, even the scars on her eyebrows looked like flowers to him.  The person in front of me has seen a lot. He can't keep thinking about it for long now. When he gets it, he no longer cares about it. He puts it aside and can't even think about it.  Therefore, she would rather follow Rong Shi as the overlord than follow him as the queen. She does not need to earn this honor for her family.

    She retracted her hand, but smiled on her face, "There are some things that I can't explain. I was following Amma and was focused on running errands, but you had to act as a matchmaker for me to win over Rong Shi. I am an unsteady-minded person, and I pull and pull.  I just threw myself into it. I didn¡¯t get along well with anyone, and Rongshi was considerate to me, so I couldn¡¯t control myself.She fell in love with him and wanted to marry him every day.  She said sheepishly, "We met the Fifth Master at the Donghua Gate that day. As for the Fifth Master's talk Is there anyone in the Forbidden City who doesn't know about Rong Shi and me?"  My reputation is gone. If I change someone midway, won't my spine be broken by others?  Let's just leave it like this, I'll run errands for my master and repay his kindness.  The master allowed us to let me and that idiot become a couple.  "

    How can there be such a thing in the world? When a girl comes to ask for marriage, she keeps saying "I like him and I want to marry him."  She knew he was interested in her, so why did she do this deliberately to stab his lungs?  He was angry but quickly calmed down. It was not the time to argue with her. The two of them were having a heated relationship, and the harder they separated, the more they kept thinking about her.  He has ways to make it impossible for them. If you want to gain a foothold in the Forbidden City, it's not just about you loving me and me loving you.

    He slumped his shoulders and looked disappointed, "I treat you differently from others, don't you think about it anymore?"

    She smiled and shook her head, "Master, don't worry, there is a better girl waiting for you."

    "The best girl has given her heart to someone else, so what else do I expect? I made a mistake before, and I didn't realize how much I liked you at the time. Now that your heart belongs to you, it's too late for me to say anything." He smiled sadly.  , "Is it confirmed? When do you plan to get married?"

    He was relieved. Songyin was overjoyed and finally let her wait.  She tried her best to suppress it, not daring to let him see how proud she was, and said softly: "Their family is making preparations. We will discuss the wedding date after it is settled."

    He sighed deeply, "If it's not mine, I can't keep it after all." He raised his arm, and the hands under the apricot arrow sleeves stretched out in a semicircle, "While you still haven't returned to him, can you let me hug you?"

    She was very embarrassed after hearing this, "This doesn't seem to be a good idea, because he knows how to treat me!"

    He looked increasingly sad, "It's just this once, can't you let me have something to think about?"

    He said it was very pitiful. Songyin felt that if she could make a little concession in exchange for peace and harmony between her and Rongshi, she would already have made a lot of money.  If you offend him and try to steal the bride when you are angry, the gain will outweigh the loss.

    She was always generous and straightforward, and said come on with open arms.  He reached over and hugged her tenderly. He closed his eyes and felt that the frozen heart came to life again and began to beat.  He tightened his arms slightly, not daring to hug her tightly for fear of scaring her, but feeling his own trembling, he called her against her temples, "Er Yin"

    She hummed, "Master, please be obedient." Then she patted him on the back, like coaxing a child.

    She didn¡¯t turn pale in a hurry, nor did she shrink away, so she let him have extravagant hopes again.  The hands on her shoulders slowly moved down, pressed on her back, and asked her tentatively: "If I'm nice to you, is it still too late?"

    She realized that this was wrong. Her ears were too soft, and she might make her look sexy again.  She resolutely pushed him away, shook her head and said, "We are not suitable. I have said everything I need to say. It doesn't matter whether you are nice to me or don't read other people's names. I only pretend to be one person in my heart, and this person comes in."  If you can't get out, that's not you." She took two steps back and knelt down to him, "The master is a person who handles important things. He keeps holding on to his children for a long time, so there is no need to delay you. It's getting late.  It's time for the slave to go back, but the master will stay."

    The conversation is over, and her ending was smooth. If she hadn't been jealous of the power in his hands, she might have been more to the point.  She didn't say that she didn't like him, but between the lines she was worried that the boundaries would not be clear.  Her intention was very clear, she could sacrifice her life for him, but she just didn't want to follow him.  Even if he promised her mother to honor the world, she would not be moved at all. She just wanted to continue to be her little official and take good care of her own land.

    Is this the point of success?  Isn't the queen better than the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?  Isn't it rare for the queen to sit side by side with him and dominate the country?

    He watched her escape from his sight and began to reflect on his shortcomings.  Everything he did was in line with the standards of those in power. Even if he had desires in his heart, he could not follow his own likes and dislikes. This is the case now and will be the case in the future.  She couldn't understand it because there was still a choice.  What if there is no choice?
