That's a good thing, if she keeps keeping a straight face, will all the things in the harem belong to her
The depression in my heart dissipated, and my eyes lit up, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to.
The emperor is so interesting, do you think coaxing a woman is just giving something
When Eunuch Qin read the Eight Treasures Emerald Screen, Hua Chun couldn't hold back and grinned.
With a sigh of relief, the emperor's expression eased, and Eunuch Qin finally refused to report the reward.
Auntie, this pile of rewards is more than the sum of all the concubines in the harem in the first half of the year. It seems that they have to be smuggled here, otherwise the other concubines will find out, and the world will be turned upside down!
"The servant will go down and prepare."
"Yes." Yu Wenjie said, "Just tell Concubine Hui directly."
Eunuch Qin was taken aback, and looked at him in embarrassment: "Should I tell Concubine Hui?"
"Naturally, she will record all the rewards in this palace."
Taking a deep breath, Eunuch Qin counted with his fingers, eighteen rewards, concubine Hua doesn't have much credit at the moment, is it inappropriate
However, the emperor's eyes were extremely firm, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation. Eunuch Qin swallowed his doubts back to his stomach, agreed honestly, and turned to go to Qinghe Hall.
Concubine Hui smiled and listened to what he meant by the emperor, then nodded and said: "My palace knows, let someone check the records immediately, and send the reward to Concubine Hua earlier."
"The old slave will leave first."
"Eunuch, go slowly."
There were quite a few people sitting in the Qinghe Hall, besides Lan Zhaoyi, Concubine Shu was also there. After hearing Eunuch Qin's words, everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.
Turning around and sitting down, the smile on Concubine Hui's face also completely disappeared, she glanced at everyone, half pursed her lips and said: "I have seen it all, and soon there may be a queen in the palace."
Lan Zhaoyi frowned: "The emperor spoils me too much."
"That's right." Hua Xunyue said flatly: "Previously, Lan Zhaoyi was rewarded with only two or three things, but now eighteen things are given to Concubine Hua all at once, which is truly unprecedented."
"The emperor is doing this for us to see." Concubine Hui said: "Tell us to see clearly the position of the concubine Hua in his heart, and we must hold it in the future, let alone salute to the palace, later Days, I'm afraid we all have to salute her."
"What's so good about her?" Concubine Meng frowned, "She's pretty, but there are too many good-looking people in our palace. She's also domineering, so she's not as gentle and pleasant as Lan Zhaoyi."
"Who can tell clearly what the emperor likes?" Concubine Hui chuckled, "From what I see, the big guy should hurry back and prepare, and tell everyone in the palace to be careful, and don't run into that person in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." , lest the emperor use it to open the knife."
Everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, while the emperor favored Concubine Hua, the government had not fallen at all, and they could not complain to the Queen Mother. After all, Concubine Hua was appointed by the Queen Mother.
Now I can only hope that Concubine Hua can do something wrong on her own, so that they have the opportunity to move the queen mother out to make decisions.
The people who greeted everyone dispersed, Concubine Hui continued to sulk while sitting in the inner hall, the maid next to her ran in and whispered in her ear in a panic.
"What?" Her pupils shrank slightly, Concubine Hui looked at Mangzhu with a face full of incomprehension: "Why is she interested in Nie Cairen's matter?"
"Maybe it's because I'm bored." Mangzhu said, "I've seen the maids in Nie Cairen's palace before."
"Did you find out anything?" Concubine Hui frowned.
Mangzhu shook his head: "I can't find out about this, I only know that the maid stayed in Qinghe Hall for almost half an hour before leaving."
The past was revealed again, and Concubine Hui rubbed her temples with a headache: "If she is serious about joking, I won't bother to care about it. I'm afraid that woman is ambitious and wants to step on me to climb up."
"The empress means..."
"You go and arrange it."
"yes."
No one in this palace has clean hands, it depends on luck, whoever gets caught will be unlucky. Now that she is in charge of the power of the harem, she is naturally the best stepping stone. If you can catch her mistakes and make a contribution, you can indeed take a big step forward.
However, for someone who has stood in this palace for several years, if she is easily stepped on by a little tit as a step, what will she do
It was getting dark, and Hua Chun was showing the emperor the test paper that Qing Niao had sent out. The emperor read it carefully, selected some feasible questions and marked them, and finally gave them to Eunuch Qin to send them out.
"Has the emperor set a time for the exam?"
"When all the questions are sorted out, I will release the list." Yu Wenjie said: "There are many people who want to take the exam, and there must be a threshold. What I mean is that each test paper is one tael of silver, and you can buy the paper to enter."
Hua Chun opened his mouth wide, one tael of silver is enough for ordinary people to live a good life for a year, it is not a small sum.
"If you sell papers like this, there are a lot of real talents and real learning, but what about people who live in poverty?"
Glancing at her, the emperor said: "I don't believe that people with real talents and real learning will make themselves so poor that they can't afford a tael of silver. They can't go on in the officialdom, so it's better to let them live."
After hearing it this way, it does seem to make sense, hey? Hua Chun thought for a while: "Then what if there is a special person? Just underappreciated, forced by life, unable to afford money and famous all over the world?"
"People like that will be discovered by officials and recommended to me." Yu Wenjie said: "You don't have to worry too much. Although the scientific examination is fair, it also depends on luck. No king can catch all the talents in the world at once. .”
"That's true." Hua Chun nodded, thinking that Yu Wenjie deserved to be an emperor, and his ideological awareness was still quite high.
"emperor."
Just as he was about to turn off the lights for a rest, Huo Zichong suddenly yelled outside.
With a serious look on his face, Yu Wenjie turned his head to look at the door: "Come in."
The door opened, and Huo Zichong walked in with a little maid, threw her on the ground, then cupped his hands and said, "It's a shame to be humble."
Hua Chun was taken aback, jumped off the soft couch and went over to have a look: "Hey? Isn't this red moss?"
A small face was lifted up, with tears and snot running down her face, and Hongtai kowtowed to her again and again: "I beg your mother to accept this slave, please, please accept my slave! This slave can say anything!"
Looking at the emperor, then at Huo Zichong, Hua Chun asked curiously, "What happened?"
"Someone wanted to kill her, but luckily the hidden guards followed and rescued her." Huo Zichong said, "The person who did it was the eunuch from the Imperial Dining Room, and I brought her along with you."
This is a good feeling, Hua Chun clapped his hands: "Hurry up, let's go to trial, why did we kill people in the middle of the night?"
The emperor gave her a disgusted look, pulled her to the inner hall, lowered the curtain at the partition, and said, "Bring him in."
"Yes." Huo Zi rushed to the door and waved, another little eunuch was also thrown in.
The little eunuch was more frightened than red moss, his whole face was whiter than a ghost, he knelt tremblingly, his eyes dangling.
The emperor held her in his arms and stretched out his hand to pinch her.
Hua Chun came back to his senses, understood what he meant, and said, "Bold slave, the important place of the palace, how dare you commit murder in the middle of the night?"
The little eunuch was about to cry: "The slave doesn't want to kill her, but just wants to settle some old grievances."
"What old grudge?"
"The servant was married to Hongtai before, but now she has turned her face and turned her back on her, causing the servant to be ridiculed by others. The servant just went to her tonight to ask for an explanation."
"You're lying!" Hongtai gritted her teeth, "I've never been married to anyone, it was you who came up to me and tried to make me fight with you!"
The little eunuch stopped talking, and Hua Chun couldn't see their expressions through the curtain, so he could only look at the emperor for instructions.
"Ask about the past."
Hua Chun nodded, and obediently repeated: "What's going on tonight?"
After a while of silence outside, the eunuch opened his mouth first: "I went to talk to Hongtai tonight, but I didn't expect her attitude to be so bad that she wanted to hit me, so I got excited and went up and strangled her neck. I haven't pinched her for a while. I saw Lord Imperial Guard coming out of the dark and captured the servant."
As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice: "Who would have known that such a coincidence happened to have a guard passing by..."
The emperor sneered, and shook his head towards Huachun, who then said, "Okay, no matter what the reason is for committing a crime in the palace, it is a fault. Lord Huo, take him down and deal with them according to the palace rules. As for Hongtai, just temporarily Stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
"Yes." Huo Zi responded, and the eunuch said "Hey" twice, and the voice became farther and farther away, probably being dragged away.
"Your majesty is a god." Touching his chin, Hua Chun looked at him in admiration: "But this murderer has nothing to do with Concubine Hui, what should we do?"
"Who said it's okay?" The emperor pursed his lips: "Tomorrow, you might as well send someone to investigate and see who he has been in contact with recently."
"Why do I have to investigate?" Hua Chun didn't understand: "Just relying on the imperial guards and hidden guards around the emperor, many things can be easily settled, right?"
The emperor took a deep look at her, and said: "I will investigate, and you will investigate and I will judge, there are two different attitudes."
Just kidding, if you want to find an excuse to balance the power in the court, the emperor can't go out and embarrass the concubines himself, right? Rumor has it that the price is so low, she must be used as a shield, using the palace concubine to compete for favor to cover up his actual thoughts.
Hua Chun quickly reacted and nodded obediently.
Many servants were replaced in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Except for the palace servants who were rough envoys, the emperor replaced all the servants with those he personally selected.
"You can order these people as you like. If they can do it, they will do it. If they can't, they will tell me, and I will do it." Embracing the person in his arms, the emperor said: "I give you supreme power, as long as you Work together with me."
Hua Chun nodded movedly, thinking that the person in his concubine is really treated like a queen, and if he doesn't work hard, he is really sorry for him.
As soon as Hongtai entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Concubine Hui couldn't sit still, she pulled the mangosteen and asked, "Are you sure she doesn't know anything?"
