Fu Lu saw him running over in a hurry and scolded him in a low voice: "Why are you running? You dare to do such unruly things here."
"Eunuch Fulu, Lin Changzai was kneeling at the door. She said she had something important to tell the emperor. Even though I tried to persuade her, she didn't want to leave. I was afraid that Lin Changzai would get frostbite, so I ran away in a hurry." The father-in-law was scolded all over his face and felt miserable.
Lin Changzai? Fulu was confused. Lin Chang was not summoned by the emperor many times. He only saw it once or twice during the day. When the emperor became interested, he went to Lin Chang's place to write.
In my memory, she was a most gentle woman. What important matter could she have that she needed to talk to the emperor about?
The voices inside just stopped when the young father-in-law was speaking, and everything he said reached Wei Cheng's ears.
"Fu Lu, what's going on outside?"
Hearing Wei Cheng calling him, Fu Lu went inside to report back.
"Your Majesty, it's Lin Changzai who's here. She's kneeling at the door, saying she has something important to tell you."
Wei Cheng frowned, glanced at the three courtiers who were deep in thought, and ordered Fulu: "Let her go back first. What are you talking about while kneeling at the door of Yangxin Hall? Don't you see that I am busy now? Let her go first. Go back and wait until I'm done with my work before going to Chuxiu Palace to see her."
Fulu responded softly and ran to the door himself.
When Lin Yiliu saw the emperor's father-in-law waiting beside him, he felt happy, thinking that the emperor was willing to see her, and stood up unsteadily while holding Tingzhu's hand.
"Lin Chang is here. The emperor is busy with state affairs. He asked you to go back to Chuxiu Palace first. The emperor will come to find you when he is done." Fulu came out of the warm Yangxin Palace and shivered due to the cold wind. After finishing speaking , went back directly without waiting for Lin Yiliu to speak.
Her hope failed, Lin Yiliu's heart gradually sank, and the coldness on her knees stimulated her head. She had no choice but to look at the Yangxin Palace for the last time, took Tingzhu's hand, and walked back slowly.
In Changxin Palace, Yigui was tired of listening and asked Xingyu to send Xia Fangshu out.
Yi Guiren's attitude was tough, and Xia Fangshu couldn't find any reason to stay. She exchanged glances with Ning Yuzhen and left Changxin Palace with worry.
Walking to a deserted place, Shiliu looked around and couldn't hold back her words anymore, "My lord, why do you have to talk so much to Yigui? You and her have the same status. Even if there is an additional title, the emperor will pay more attention to the key points." Your background means that even if you take Ning Changzai away directly, there will be nothing she can do about it."
"Be careful, you can't say who the emperor values?" Xia Fangshu, who has always been good-tempered, rarely got angry. "Be careful, walls have ears. How come you haven't made any progress after two months in the palace?"
Pomegranate pursed her lips in aggrieved manner and stopped talking.
Seeing her like this, Xia Fangshu sighed and couldn't help but miss the days when she was still at home. She didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing. The only worry every day was what cakes to eat.
She just has a pure nature and doesn't want to be an enemy. It's not that she doesn't understand anything.
It was precisely because life in the palace was like walking on thin ice and there were so few people who could walk with her that she would try every means to keep Ning Yuzhen.
The most important thing for Yigui people is face, that is, in the Kunning Palace, the queen asked her to be polite in front of everyone, but she still found an excuse to stab him back.
Even the queen could only endure Yiguiren's arrogance. If she really took him away directly from Yiguiren's territory, she would not only be unable to save Sister Ning, but would also be trapped in injustice.
Right now, I can only place my hope on Sister Lin.
After Xia Fangshu was sent away by Xingyu, the room fell into silence again.
Ning Yuzhen knelt there and wrote quietly. The hand holding the pen gradually became stiff due to the cold wind. She tried hard to hold herself strong so that her body would not tremble. She did not want to hand over her fragile side to the enemy for him to laugh at. .
"You are very strong-willed." Yi Guiren said with a sarcastic smile, "However, from my perspective, your incense-making skills are no more than this. After writing for so long, they are still owned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Ning Yuzhen didn't even raise her head, focusing on the paper under her hand. She wrote in small regular script with a hairpin in her hand, which was a little crooked because her hand was frozen.
She glanced sideways at the sky outside and took the time to respond, "The best things in the world are provided to the palace. No matter how superb my concubine's craftsmanship is, naturally she cannot compare to the palace."
"But no matter how expensive the spices are, people will get tired of them after using them for a long time."
I thought she was frozen mute, but when I finally heard Ning Yuzhen's reply, Yi Guiren felt very unhappy.
Are you making fun of yourself?
Yi Guiren savored these words again and again, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Changzai, are you implying that the emperor is tired of me?"
Ning Yuzhen stopped writing, and Shi Shiran met Yi Guiren's gaze with a smile, "I don't dare, the empress is a heavenly being, and it is only right for the emperor to love the empress."
Yigui was born as a commoner, not to mention studying and practicing calligraphy. The name she used to use was Xu Zhaodi. Now Xu Fengjiao left with the emperor, and her parents found someone to change it temporarily. They said that this name is a prosperous one and can protect Yigui people in their future. There was constant honor and favor in the palace.
Indeed, the emperor even taught her how to read.
She happened to learn the postures of heaven and man.
It was clearly about being as graceful as a celestial being, but when placed on Yiguiren's clay legs who had climbed up to a high position, it became a mocking remark.
As soon as Yi Guiren figured it out, his anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head.
After fighting with this and that for so many years, wasn't it because she had a taste of power and hated these noble girls from famous families? How could they be pampered by their parents while they were both women? The only use of the unfinished clothes and endless firewood is to recruit two younger brothers for his parents.
Yi Guiren burst into flames. The dignified manners she had learned over the past three years from a noble girl suddenly fell apart. Like a country shrew, she grabbed Ning Yuzhen's hair and pulled it back. She saw a look of pain on the latter's face. , I felt a burst of joy in my heart.
Look, what about the daughter of an official? When she got to the palace, she was beaten by her own clay leg but couldn't do anything about it?
"Ning Changzai, don't think that because you have an official father outside, you can ride on my head. Do you know what is important in the harem?"
"It's the emperor's favor! So what if I'm just a little girl from a rural background? Doesn't the emperor prefer me?"
Yi Guiren stared at her fiercely, and strangled Ning Yuzhen's neck with his right hand, gradually applying force, "Believe it or not, even if you were strangled to death by me in Changxin Palace today, the Emperor would not blame me."
Her state became more and more crazy. Xingyu was startled and wanted to step forward.
After all, you can't just strangle him to death in Changxin Palace. You'll be covered in fishy smell by then, and you won't be able to kill him by any means when you go out.
Feeling Xingyu's movements, Yi Guiren turned around and glared at Xingyu, who immediately stopped.
People who are used to farm work naturally have a lot of strength in their hands, even if they have been pampered for several years.
Ning Yuzhen felt that the picture in front of her began to spin, and it was difficult to breathe.
"The Emperor is here!"
