As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri
Chapter 198 The Private Vault is Almost Full
The light from the lamps in the bedroom was warm and cozy, and Ning Rushong's brows were filled with joy. He always liked to kiss her and was never satisfied. He loved the feeling of closeness.
His poor words could not express it, so he could only describe it through the kiss.
He Yue only let him kiss her for a moment before she put her hand on his chest and pushed him away, "Chi Jue, the smell of medicine is a bit strong."
"Yueyue." Ning Rushong's voice was clear, but the ending tone was downward.
With his long eyelashes drooping, his handsome and elegant face showed a hint of obedience.
Well, he had to take the medicine for her. Looking aggrieved, He Yue slightly tiptoed, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him back.
This kiss carried the bitterness of medicine and Ning Rushong's tenderness and love.
The palace maid who was keeping watch outside the door could not help but cover her blushing face when she heard the faint sound coming from inside. His Majesty and His Majesty had such a good relationship, no wonder they never let any palace maid keep watch inside.
Xiao Ye, who was standing outside the door to keep watch, gave the palace maid a slightly arrogant look and said, "Look, I don't have much experience. I am very calm."
But His Majesty and the Empress are indeed close to each other very often. Tsk, poor concubines, your expectations are doomed to be dashed. Next time, we will charge you less money and keep it for your own use in the future!
The good news in this misfortune is that being favored by the Queen is always better than being favored by any concubine alone. The Queen does not treat anyone in the harem harshly, otherwise those concubines would not be able to live such a comfortable life.
With a flick of the whisk, Xiao Ye's face was slightly tense. Where did the master go today? Did His Majesty assign him a secret task? I haven't seen him all day.
Is Xiao Guanzi, who is being missed by his own apprentice, torturing the former palace maid of Emperor Jingmu in the Ministry of Punishment? There is no other way. Guard Zhang has gone to investigate the Duan family in Xihedao. Only he can do the interrogation. After all, this matter concerns the Empress Dowager, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
The whip was dripping with blood. Xiao Guanzi was twisting a piece of paper in his hand, and his voice was sinister. "Think carefully about the origin of the word Yu Shiyue!"
"Xiao Guanzi, you want to ask whether the late emperor and the Royal Consort Yue mentioned the Empress?" The voice sounded old but insightful.
Xiao Guanzi's pupils suddenly sank and he looked at Liu Lin, the former chief steward of Emperor Jingmu. Liu Lin was the only one in this row who had not been punished.
It is impossible that Xiao Guanzi, who has been able to reach his current position in the palace, has not received favors from others, and Liu Lin is one of them.
When he first entered the palace, Xiao Guanzi was supposed to be assigned to the imperial kitchen to be a eunuch in charge of making fire, but Liu Lin saw that he was smart, so he put him in the team selected by the prince to be his personal eunuchs.
This is undoubtedly a great favor. Although Xiao Guanzi will never give up, he will repay the favor.
"Manager Liu, now that you've asked, you have to say something." Xiao Guanzi stroked the handle of the whip and warned, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to do business, and we can't protect you!"
Eunuchs age faster than other people. In recent years, Liu Lin has aged even faster. He is in his forties but looks like a man in his fifties or sixties.
Lifting his heavy eyelids, Liu Lin, who had been through many more storms than Xiao Guanzi, said without fear, "All we know is what you have found out now."
"Just like the current emperor only cares about the Empress, the late emperor also only cares about the Imperial Concubine Yue. He doesn't care about other things and doesn't bother to investigate." Liu Lin pointed out a clear way for him, "You should focus on the Duan family in Xihedao."
But the former head of the Duan family was a man who was extremely good at planning. I'm afraid he had already left a backup plan. How much could he have discovered?
…………
The next day was a day off, and Ning Rushong did not need to meet with external officials, so he moved from the study in the side hall to the warm room where He Yue often stayed.
He Yue was working on the collarband she wanted to make yesterday. She took out a total of eighteen lotus-colored and green beads and strung them into a bracelet, which was quite charming with the silver ornaments.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ye, who was serving His Majesty on behalf of Xiao Guanzi, couldn't help but twitch his forehead. My Queen! How come the ones you made for yourself are so fresh and elegant, but the ones he made for His Majesty are so extraordinary!
He Yue lifted the collar and examined it carefully in the light, and nodded with satisfaction, "It can be compared with the plum blossom corduroy I wore last time."
Hui Qing, who was tidying up the pearl thread, followed her words, "The collar that Your Majesty made this time is much more elegant than the one provided by the Emperor!"
Xiao Ye Zi was complaining in his heart. Miss Hui Qing was smart and kept silent about the plum blossom brocade. He immediately continued, "The plum blossom brocade made by the Queen is also unique, elegant and exquisite!"
Ning Rusong, who was sitting across the table from He Yue, closed the chess manual and raised his eyes lazily in a good mood, "Yes, Yueyue likes to do these. Then ask Xiaoye to find a few more boxes of jade beads later."
Xiao Ye Zi quickly responded, "Yes! I will definitely choose carefully."
He had figured out the pattern: when the Empress was embroidering, His Majesty would give her precious materials; when she was making lace, His Majesty would give her matching jade ornaments and gold beads. Now that the Empress was fond of making lapels, His Majesty asked him to find jade beads again.
One day the Queen's private vault will no longer be able to hold all the things His Majesty sends over from time to time, so let the Imperial Household Department know in advance and prepare for expansion!
After the collar was finished, He Yue put it away carefully. She didn't like wearing loose dresses, and the collar was of no use to her. She just enjoyed the process of making it and the sense of accomplishment when the finished product was presented.
Before lunch time, the imperial kitchen presented several plates of the Empress's favorite pastries to the warm room.
Ning Rushong ate a piece from He Yue's hand and stopped eating. It was still too sweet for him.
Xiujie held the plate of dessert for He Yue and watched her eat slowly. Should she ask Xiao Guanzi to find some chefs who were good at making pastries?
