Several people frowned: "Really?"
"Really." Ruier said while rubbing the ring: "If you don't believe me, you can see the difference between Yanjing and other places. Many places in Daliang have been hit by disasters recently, but spring flowers are still placed on the streets of Yanjing."
There is spare money to spend on those rootless flowers, isn't it considered that the treasury is abundant
The envoys glanced at each other and asked again: "Then why don't you have money to help the disaster?"
"Who said there was no relief?" Rui'er said: "Our emperor has adopted a new disaster relief method, which is being gradually implemented. The disaster will not disappear completely in a day or two."
Seeing the heavy expressions of these people in front of her, Rui'er smiled and said: "If the grown-ups feel that the servant's words are untrustworthy and not worth the gemstone ring, the servant can give something as a gift."
"what?"
"Memorial." Rui'er raised his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "The emperor's slaves and servants often come into contact with each other, and they help to give away something. If you want, the slaves can come with two copies."
Memorial! Something equivalent to state secrets, this maid actually said she could help them steal it? The Xixia envoy was excited, and immediately asked: "Can you steal some encrypted ones?"
Rolling her eyes, Rui'er said: "My lords think too highly of my servants, how can I get the encrypted booklets? If you don't want them, then my servants will leave first."
"Hey!" Quickly pulled her back, several people exchanged glances, and stuffed all the gold jewelry they were wearing into Rui'er's arms: "Yes, please don't let other people know about it." .”
Rui'er smiled, weighed the weight of these things, and said: "Your maidservant has to save her own life, the one who will die first when this news gets out, so don't worry about keeping it secret."
That's right, several people watched her go out, and then pulled the palace maid at the door to ask: "What is the identity of the palace lady?"
The maid at the door replied respectfully: "It's a first-class maid who serves beside the emperor and concubine De."
This is reliable, I didn't lie to them, I can really contact the emperor. So several people went back to drink tea with confidence.
Rui Er returned to Hua Chun with a bag of things in her arms, and showed it excitedly: "Your Majesty is indeed right, they are really stupid people with a lot of money!"
Hua Chunle happily ordered something Rui'er brought: "This is another two thousand taels of silver. They are so generous. They wear gold utensils."
"Xi Xia is rich in gold, so it's normal." Qing Niao said, "What else is the master planning to do now?"
"Here." Hua Chun reached out and took a booklet to Rui'er: "Give it to them as you said, and then don't worry about it. If they ask for information, they can answer according to the template I gave you."
"Yes." Rui'er happily agreed, took the note and left.
With Huachun behind the arrangements, several envoys were stunned for a moment, thinking that Daliang was just crying for poverty, and the national power had not declined at all. Isn't it stupid to tear yourself apart with Daliang at this time
So a few days later, the Xixia envoys set off to return to China, and never mentioned the matter of renegotiating conditions.
The courtiers were very surprised. They were all prepared to continue to deal with the Xixia envoys. Who knew they would leave so easily
Only the emperor, He Chang'an and others knew the reason for this. The harem was meticulously arranged, and the treasury would not pay for it. Naturally, one could guess whose credit it was.
Yu Wenjie didn't thank Hua Chun, and didn't even mention it. Rui'er was very surprised: "Doesn't the emperor know?"
Qing Ling shook her head: "The emperor must know."
"Then why is there no reward at all?"
"This..." Qingyou shrugged: "Who can understand the emperor's mind?"
Isn't he always playing cards out of common sense? The strange thing is that Hua Chun didn't care about it, instead he laughed happily and had dinner with the emperor.
"There is only one elbow." Hua Chun said with a serious expression: "From today onwards, the palace is also saving money, you and I will have a showdown, and then we will see who eats it."
Eunuch Qin couldn't help laughing as he stood by the side, only one elbow, the empress was pregnant, how could the emperor rob her...
"Okay." The emperor nodded.
Eunuch Qin: "..." Really robbing? What do you think? !
Hua Chun raised his hand: "Rock-paper-scissors, what are you offering?"
"I came out with stones." Yu Wenjie said calmly.
"Okay." Hua Chun rolled his eyelids: "One, two... three!"
She thought this way, if the emperor said stone, then she would produce cloth, and then the emperor would definitely replace it with scissors! Then she loses! But if she follows her with the rock, then no matter if he plays the rock or the scissors, she will not lose.
However, I didn't expect that the emperor kept his word, and the stone really came out.
Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, withdrew his hand for the second round, looked at the emperor tentatively for a long time, and chose Bu.
The emperor still gave out stones.
"It's yours." The emperor said.
Hua Chun was happy, took his elbow and came over to eat, while eating, he said: "The emperor is very trustworthy."
"Keep a promise." Yu Wenjie picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables slowly.
Eunuch Qin couldn't stand it any longer, he pulled Qingyou outside the door and muttered: "We're not so poor, are we? Does the Emperor even want to eat elbows?"
Qing Ling smiled: "Eunuch doesn't understand, it's just for fun."
"… ah?"
"The emperor has seen the recipe, he didn't ask for additional food." Qing Niao said: "You don't have to worry too much, if the emperor really wants to eat, just ask, there are plenty of imperial dining rooms."
It's right to think about it, Eunuch Qin nodded, and stretched his head in to have a look.
There were fewer dishes on the table than ever before. I didn't expect the emperor to eat more happily than usual.
After the meal, the emperor and concubine went to the garden to bask in the sun, sitting in the gazebo and being blown by the warm wind, Hua Chun squinted his eyes and fell asleep. The emperor held the booklet in his hand and patted his thigh, and Hua Chun lay down on the stone bench next to the railing very consciously, resting his head on his leg and fell asleep.
Taking a thin blanket to cover her, the emperor focused on reading the book, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking deeply, his thighs remained motionless.
There were many concubines in the palace, and they heard that the emperor was in the imperial garden, so they came out to join in the fun, but when they saw the scenery over the pavilion, no one dared to approach.
"Li Zhaoyi has only been pampered for a few days? The emperor has returned to Concubine De's side." Someone whispered: "Aren't you afraid of being brought into trouble by her?"
"Keep down." The person next to him said: "The emperor's preferences, what can we talk about? It's just that many palace people in the palace are sick recently, and I always feel that this concubine De will bring more disasters."
"Oh... no one can persuade the emperor."
After searching for a while, the surroundings returned to calm. The emperor looked at Zhezi and coughed lightly twice.
