"That's because the master is kind. Otherwise, the slave would definitely be a good person with his tail between his legs."
A few people were talking, and Xiao Anzi, who had gone out to deliver sachets, also came back.
"This slave pays my respects to my young master."
Ning Yuzhen raised her hand to signal him to get up.
"Is the matter settled?"
Xiao Anzi bowed and reported back, "I have handed the sachet to Eunuch Fulu, but Eunuch Fulu said that the emperor is discussing matters with the courtiers and needs to be sent in later."
Ning Yuzhen said "hmm" and asked him to step back.
"My young master, since the sachet will be delivered later, shouldn't I delay the appointment of the imperial physician?"
"No, I'll go after a cup of tea."
At this time, outside the Yangxin Hall in the south, Fulu held the sachet in his hand and turned his head from time to time to see what was going on in the hall.
Fu Hai, who had just returned from doing things for Wei Cheng, saw that the sole of his foot was pricked by a needle and scolded him in a low voice: "What are you doing? If you move around again, be careful of being punished by the emperor."
Fulu was startled and put his left hand on his chest to comfort his fragile heart.
"Master, why are you walking so silently? Your sudden speech almost scared your only disciple out of his wits."
Fuhai looked at him sideways, "I think you have a guilty conscience. If you don't do something bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."
"How can I do anything wrong?"
Fu Lu smiled awkwardly and subconsciously wanted to touch his bulging purse with his left hand. The next second he met Fu Hai's probing eyes and immediately retracted his hand.
By chance, the conversation in the room ended and the courtiers came out one by one.
Seeing this, the two Fus entered the house one after another.
Wei Cheng frowned and sat on the chair with his eyes closed to relax. The black and blue under his eyes were visible to the naked eye.
He worked too late last night, and the morning court was early. He didn't have time to take a nap at noon and was discussing things with the courtiers. He really felt like his head was like a melon. There was a big knife hanging above his head, and he would have to drop it in the next second and chop it off. Torn apart.
Just as Fulu was about to talk to Wei Cheng about the sachet, the father-in-law from the Jingshi Room came right after him and blocked what he wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, it's time to turn over today's sign."
Wei Cheng opened his eyes slightly and looked outside the window. Only then did he realize that the sky outside the window was already mostly dark.
He suddenly remembered Ning Yuzhen. Last night was the first time she slept with her, and he had not yet found time to go to Yihexuan to see her today.
Wei Cheng stood up, scanned the green-headed card, frowned and said, "Where is Ning Changzai's card?"
"When I return to the emperor, I'll tell you that Lianxiang from Yihexuan is worried about Ning Changzai, so I asked my servant to play the green head card."
Wei Cheng thought for a moment, and the brocade quilt that brought the person there was indeed a bit thin. In addition, the weather was getting colder, so it was easy to get cold.
He ordered the father-in-law in the Jingsi Room: "If you are a woman who is delicate and frail, please bring a carriage. The concubines who will be sleeping next will be sent to the Nourishing Heart Hall by carriage to prevent them from catching the cold."
Several eunuchs were all shocked. In the past, it was true that the concubines had caught wind and cold due to this matter, and the emperor did not take it seriously. Now that it was Ning Chang's turn, he immediately changed the situation.
Ning Changzai, what a good trick!
The two Fu secretly rejoiced that they had formed a relationship with Yi Hexuan so early.
Wei Cheng hesitated for a moment longer, thinking of what he had just discussed with the courtiers, he picked out the one Ji had promised among more than ten green cards and threw them to Mr. Fang.
"Just her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that everyone was gone, Fu Lu came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ning Changzai has something to give you."
With that said, he took out the sachet and handed it over.
Wei Cheng, who still had a headache, reached out and took it after hearing this.
There are two mandarin ducks embroidered on the sachet. Compared with the embroiderers in the palace, the embroidery skills are still far behind.
He stared at the mandarin ducks above. Both of them were fat and looked a bit naive. Unconsciously, Wei Cheng raised the corners of his lips.
When he was about to let Fulu take it away and put it away, he felt that something seemed to be inside.
When I opened it, I saw the formula for calming incense.
I recalled that night by the carp pond, the floating gauze clothes, the melodious sound of the flute, and the refreshing aroma.
And last night...the plum blossoms bloomed.
"Write down a copy of the formula on this paper and take it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Remember to put this paper away after you finish copying." Wei Cheng paused, and then said: "Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs make more and give it to the Queen Mother along the way. One serving.”
Fulu asked: "Your Majesty, is this servant going to pass on the meal?"
Wei Cheng waved his hand, "No, I'll go to Concubine Xian and take a look at Rong Yue."
The two Fus looked at each other and had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. The emperor went to Xianfu Palace to see not the Xianfei or the eldest princess, but Ning Changzai...
Arriving at Xianfu Palace, Concubine Xian had just laid out the food when she heard an announcement from the eunuch outside that the emperor had arrived.
Before he even got up, the yellow figure appeared in front of him.
She immediately blessed herself and saluted, "I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
Wei Cheng helped her up with his own hands. Although he was no longer attracted to Xian Fei, he had a little more respect for her.
First, Concubine Xian's father was a Zhengyipin garrison general who was stationed at the border. Second, Concubine Xian was the most reasonable woman he had ever seen and had great insights into some things.
It's just that sometimes I can be a bit stubborn.
After Wei Cheng sat down, he asked, "Why isn't Rong Yue here?"
"Is the father looking for his son?"
Wei Rongyue, who had just woken up, was carried over by Su'e. Seeing Wei Cheng wake up immediately, she opened her hands and reached towards Wei Cheng, half of her body was outside Su'e's arms.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian scolded her harshly, "Your father is busy with government affairs and is already tired. Why do you let him hold you?"
Wei Cheng really didn't care much about his two daughters. Seeing Wei Rongyue getting close to him for a reason, he was naturally happy.
He stretched out his hand to take Wei Rongyue from Su'e's arms, shook her twice, and said to Rongyue: "Has little Rongyue gained weight recently? It feels a bit heavy for my father to hold her."
Then he turned to Concubine Xian and said, "Rongyue is still a child. What does she know? I haven't come to see her for many days. It's human nature to want me to hug her. I'm actually happy that my son and daughter are willing to stick to me."
Concubine Xian looked at the scene of the two of them being a loving father and a filial son, and shook her head helplessly.
"What the emperor said makes me look like a bad person."
Wei Cheng felt sorry for his daughter and put her in the authoritative chair. "Who in the palace doesn't know that the virtuous concubine Zhong Yu is selfless?"
Concubine Xian smiled tenderly, picked up a piece of fake fish with serving chopsticks and put it into Wei Cheng's bowl.
"The emperor has not come to the harem for dinner for a long time."
Wei Cheng held Concubine Xian's hand and felt the warmth on the back of her hand. Concubine Xian was stunned. How long ago was the last time the two of them had such close contact instead of sleeping together?
It had been so long that she was in a trance, unable to determine whether the person in front of her was the emperor she knew.
In a daze, I heard the person next to me say: "I have something to tell you today."
One word brought Concubine Xian back. She felt bitter in her heart but could not express it. I think what the emperor wanted to say was just to ask her to take more care of Ning Changzai.
"I'm not a scolding person, so Ning Changzai won't have to pay her respects every day. I'll protect her."
Wei Cheng looked confused and didn't understand how she could associate it with Ning Yuzhen.
"What I want to say is not about Ning Chang Zai, but about Rong Yue."
