"You're going to sweep the snow again." Just after returning to Changchun Palace, Wei Yingluo was called to her by the queen and said lovingly, "Bengong has already told you that you don't have to do this work anymore, let Zhuzhu and the others go. Do it, if you have time, read more books, or come to this palace, help this palace to study ink, and handle some things for this palace."
Empress Xian really wanted to cultivate her as a confidant, otherwise, she would rather be blind than let her read and write, understand things, and even discuss with her about the sale of the inventory of the internal affairs library.
Wei Yingluo was terrified when she heard it. She was worried about whether she climbed too high or too fast, and she was moved by the other party's value, so she knew everything and said everything.
"If you don't pay attention, it's about time." Two hours later, the queen put down the brush in her hand, showing a trace of fatigue on her face.
Wei Yingluo immediately walked behind her, pressed her temples gently with both hands, and said, "Niangniang, rest for a while, my servant will accompany you to talk."
"Yeah." The Queen closed her eyes, put aside her busy affairs for a while, and chatted with her a little about everyday things, "Speaking of which, the imperial doctor came to report a while ago, saying that Mrs. Yu has often woken up in the middle of the night recently, and the whole human figure is stubborn and thin. I don't dare to recognize it, the imperial doctor said... this is a heart disease."
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine." Wei Yingluo said after deliberation. "Yi Concubine is not here, the emperor is her only heart medicine." The queen sighed, "But the emperor has a lot of time, how can she take care of her! Yiqiu is priceless, and it is rare to have a lover. Yugui is not Concubine Dong E, where can I go to find her? A great grandfather…”
It is well known in the world that Emperor Shunzhi only favored Concubine Dong E. When Concubine Dong E died of illness, Grandpa Shi did not hesitate to leave home for her. It is difficult for ordinary men to do this for their wives, let alone an emperor who ruled the world. .
After a pause, the queen consciously lost her words, and smiled a little wistfully: "Look, this palace is confused, what are you talking about!"
Wei Yingluo knew what she was thinking, which woman didn't want to become Concubine Dong E, but her expectations were too high, and she was inevitably disappointed in the end.
Desiring to comfort her, Wei Yingluo thought for a while and said, "Ye Ancestor's infatuation with Concubine Dong E is indeed worthy of admiration, but from another angle, it feels completely different!"
"Oh?" The Queen asked curiously, "You said."
"Empress Empress, Concubine Dong E died of illness, the ancestors of the world were heartbroken, quit the court for five days, burned two palaces and countless jewels, and even ordered thirty eunuchs and maids to die! For Concubine Dong E, it is lucky to meet an infatuated king, But the 60 innocent palace servants, they also have close relatives and their lives! What's more, for the sake of Concubine Dong E, Grandpa Shi has neglected tens of thousands of his subjects." Wei Yingluo sighed, "I am afraid that the civil and military officials, Ordinary people, as well as other concubines in the harem, only wish the emperor to be ruthless."
"presumptuous!"
A man's voice suddenly sounded, causing Wei Yingluo and the queen to stand up in unison, and then knelt down toward each other.
A pair of bright yellow boots walked in front of Wei Yingluo.
This was the second time she had seen the boots.
"Whoever allows you to talk about the grandfather, it's really a crime that deserves death!" Hongli's voice sounded from above her head, with endless anger, "come-"
How to do!
Wei Yingluo complained in her heart. She didn't expect that a dignified emperor would actually like to listen to the corner of the wall. Now, he slammed into the muzzle of a gun. For the current plan, only...
Wei Yingluo gritted her teeth and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, didn't I say this?"
"Oh?" Hongli said coldly, "Who said that?"
Wei Yingluo: "It's Grandpa Shi."
Hongli was stunned when he heard the words.
"Your Majesty, Grandpa Shi once left an edict that he was too generous to Concubine Dong E and that he failed to stop his love with courtesy. I deeply regret it." Wei Yingluo took advantage of him for a moment and hurriedly finished the rest of the sentence. " The slave was just repeating the words of the grandfather."
If you punish her for this, wouldn't it be deceiving her teacher and destroying her ancestors
Hongli was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Then you accuse Shizu of letting the palace people be buried. Is it possible that Shizu said it again?"
"That's not true." Wei Yingluo said.
Hongli immediately sneered: "Someone—"
Wei Yingluo: "Master Kangxi said it!"
Hongli: "… "
Wei Yingluo: "Master Kangxi has already ordered the prohibition of sacrificial sacrifices. Since then, there will be no sacrificial rituals for living people!"
Hongli was silent again for a long time, or he was aggrieved for a while.
The emperor, who seemed to be a little cautious, didn't seem to plan to let her go just like that. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered something, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I ask you, just now you said that the people would rather the emperor be ruthless, and What means?"
Hearing this question, Wei Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she only said so much in total, since he asked this question, it was obviously the last question.
"Go back to the emperor." Wei Yingluo kowtowed to the ground and said slowly, "The servant heard that the emperor gets up every day, the sky is still bright in summer, and the winter moon is only just after the end of the fifth watch. When the Western Front uses troops, and there is an army report, it is midnight. , the emperor will also urgently recruit military ministers to discuss. The military ministers are on duty every five or six days. Shangjue is very hardworking, not to mention that the emperor is like this every day and every year, and his diligence in government is admirable! However, the emperor is busy with government affairs and has no time to take care of the harem. , the concubines and concubines can't help but feel lonely, it can be seen that if you want to be a wise monarch and have affection for the people and the world, you can only be ruthless to the concubines and concubines!"
After listening to Hongli, he opened his mouth to speak, but did not speak for a long time.
"Yes, love is ruthless, the emperor is such a diligent and wise ruler!" The queen suddenly came over and waved her hand, "Okay, you go down, this palace wants to talk to the emperor."
Wei Yingluo's heart was immediately relieved, knowing that the queen was taking advantage of the situation to relieve her, and after the emperor's three questions, and then out of this door, she would be completely safe...
"Wait!" The man's voice suddenly sounded above her head, "Look up!"
Wei Yingluo was taken aback, and even the queen was taken aback: "Your Majesty?"
"Your tone, your voice, the more I listen, the more familiar I become..." Hong Li's voice contained a trace of doubt and a trace of scrutiny.
Hearing this, Wei Yingluo dared to raise her head again, just crawling on the ground, motionless like a stone sculpture that has been around for years.
"I remember..." Hong Li's voice suddenly turned cold, "You are—"
"Go out!" The queen's voice suddenly interjected, "Don't upset the emperor, go outside and kneel!"
"Yes, Niangniang!" Wei Yingluo rushed out.
Behind him was the quarrel between the emperor and the queen.
"I saw her before, she was still a low-class maid, and in less than a month, she arrived at Changchun Palace, and she was deeply trusted by the empress. It can be seen that she has ulterior motives and plans! Empress, how can you stay by your side with such a person?"
"Your Majesty, what is Yingluo's conduct is best understood by the concubine, the master."
"Queen, too tolerant, be careful raising tigers!"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be suspicious of people, you don't need to be suspicious. Your concubine believes in your own eyes. Yingluo is definitely not the kind of person you said!"
Wei Yingluo suddenly stopped and looked back blankly.
Isn't she that kind of person
No, what the emperor said is right, she is a person with ulterior motives and schemes.
"But I will not betray your trust." Wei Yingluo said to the queen in her heart, "I will never let anyone hurt you."
