Chapter 77 Appease

The wisteria crimson is slowly burning in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and a mild fragrance of flowers is diffused.

I remembered that Shen Hui had always disliked this kind of spice with the smell of flowers, so it must have been arranged according to Qin Ruozhen's preference.

Thoughts flashed, Rong Yu restrained his mind, and bowed to the emperor and empress to salute.Before the ceremony was completed, Shen Hui had already leveled him, and said with a gentle smile, "You came back just in time to celebrate the New Year in Beijing. It's just that you will be busy with a lot of things next year, and you won't be able to rest."

With a smile on his head, his face and eyes meet him. It's been a long time since I haven't seen him. He seems to be thinner.For a moment, Rong Yu was very impulsive, and wanted to ask him if his food and sleep were safe, but he caught a glimpse of Qin Ruozhen sitting beside him with a smile that was not a smile, and swallowed the words that almost reached his lips.

"The factory minister has done a great job this time and added a lot of money to the national treasury. He went to Lianghuai, and all the revenue of the court for a year came out." Qin Ruozhen pointed at him, smiled and said to Shen Hui, "So A capable person should be sent to the household department. The emperor should give him a good reward."

Shen Hui played with a white jade paperweight, and murmured casually, "What do you want me to reward you with?"

Rong and bowed his hands, answering the same words from before to now, "I can't think of it, and I dare not ask for a reward from the emperor."

Qin Ruozhen covered her mouth with a smile, and casually took a notebook from the desk, Rong Yu followed her movements to look over it, and saw that there was a thick stack of notebooks on the desk.

At this time, the cabinet has not yet finished drawing up the votes, so these will not be today's memorials, but should not be issued by Shen Huiliu earlier.With tolerance and intuition, those notes will probably be related to me.

"You don't want rewards. Those who know will naturally understand that you understand the rules. If you don't know, you still pretend that the emperor doesn't approve of your actions." Qin Ruozhen glanced at the stack of memorials, and smiled gracefully, "Nowadays, so many people are dissatisfied with you. What happened to Huai, I asked the emperor to judge your crime one after another, but they were all suppressed. If you don't reward you again, outsiders should smell something unusual, I'm afraid that the impeachment of you will be even more serious. It’s going to be overwhelming.”

Although he had already guessed the result, his heart was still tense, Rong Yuzhi was not a person who could say apologies, so he could only answer with his head bowed, "I am afraid, and I am grateful to the emperor for his trust in me."

Shen Hui smiled nonchalantly, "What are you scaring him into? My officials are full and have nothing to do all day long. When they see an early bird, they rush to fight for a while. If you ignore them, is it all over?"

"Your Majesty said so about his speech officials, and if they heard it, they would all be ashamed and angry!" Qin Ruozhen said with a smile, turning his head to stare at Rongyu, "But the factory officials don't want to reward, but they should, Lianghuai has so much money. , Randomly take a portion, enough to enjoy for several years."

Such a slow tone made people's heart beat faster, Rong Yu glanced at Shen Hui, seeing his erratic expression, Fang said, "I don't dare to enrich my own pockets, please ask your mother to learn from you."

Qin Ruozhen shook her head, "What is the lesson, I was just joking. Who doesn't know that you are the emperor's most loyal subject. Could it be that I really asked me to check your accounts? I have nothing to do Well. Even if there is, it is nothing at all. The subordinates are allowed to take a few things by order to confiscate the house. Although it is unreasonable and legal, it is still a matter of worldly wisdom. The court is still willing to turn a blind eye, let alone this Palace?"

Rong Yu was suffocated, and felt that the Queen's words were becoming more and more harsh, but he didn't want to argue with her, and simply comforted himself hypnotically, as long as Shen Hui believed in him, he didn't care what the rest of the people thought.

Looking at Shen Hui again, it was the old god who was there. He didn't speak for a long time, but frowned slightly, looking at him thoughtfully.For some reason, that gaze made him tense up, and he felt a sense of embarrassment. The person who questioned him was his wife. Shouldn't he let himself become the rift between them again.

Thinking of this in his mind, he couldn't help but stand there in bewilderment, speechless.

It was Qin Ruozhen who finally broke the deadlock. She looked up and asked with a smile, "What is the factory minister holding? Is it a memorial?"

It was only then that Rong Yu remembered the leek flower post, and immediately realized that it was definitely not a good time to present this post, so he could only bite the bullet and reply, "I just got a Yang Ning-style leek flower post. "

Qin Ruozhen's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a good thing! The factory official is an expert in calligraphy and painting, so I can't go wrong. It's just that the price of these leek stickers is not cheap, where did you get them from?"

Rong Yu looked up at Shen Hui, and saw that he was still frowning slightly, looking sideways at himself, as if waiting for his answer.

After hesitating for a moment, Rong Yu felt that he still couldn't deceive him, not to mention that he might not be able to hide such a thing, so he told the truth and told the origin of the post, but temporarily concealed the fact that Sun Chuanxi passed it on for him.

Qin Ruozhen smiled casually, "The people in Nanjing have also asked you to come here? These people are not good at being around, and they are the best at listening to the wind. It can be seen that the people in the court think that you are the most trusted by the emperor now."

While speaking, he tapped the edge of the book case with his fingers, making a sound of duk duk, as if every note was struck in his heart, which made people uneasy and even more bored.

I have to be patient, Rong Yu explained with a light smile, "Foreign officials always have to go to Beijing to do business during the New Year and holidays. Qian Zhihao cannot be criticized because of this, as for his political performance, I hope the emperor will study it carefully, if it is really useless, naturally there is no need to give him another chance."

"Otherwise, how can a person who knows how to give such elegant gifts be useless?" Qin Ruozhen slightly raised his voice, as if praising Qian Zhihao, but his tone couldn't hide his sneer, "As an official, observing words and demeanor is also a top priority , people are thousands of miles away, not only can you know your preferences, you can be regarded as a shrewd person."

So far speechless, Rong Yu simply lowered his eyes and remained silent.After a long while, I heard Shen Hui laugh softly, "He just came back, and the queen made people so nervous. Don't just talk, show me that post."

Rong and Yiyan presented leek flower stickers.With a smile on Shen Hui's lips, he read it for a while before closing the post, and looked up at him with a look of alienation that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Is this what you want to dedicate to me?"

Listening and saying yes, he nodded and said, "I accept it, you go ahead, I will call you when I have something to do."

While speaking, Shen Hui glanced at Rongyu, rolled his eyes at him, looked elsewhere, and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't check your account. You have done so much for me, you just When I reward you, it is indeed nothing."

In an instant, it was as if something heavy had hit his chest, his face and mind were in a state of confusion, he couldn't help his blood surging, his mind was blank, and he didn't want to stay in front of these two people any longer, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and left with his hands down outside the temple.

Speechless and choked, his heart was full of pain, and suddenly he wanted to run wildly, but his steps were sluggish and weak.There were only ringing sounds in his ears, Shen Hui didn't believe him... the whole person was like a demon.

After walking back into the room, his breath finally calmed down. After thinking about it, he was a little more sincere. After a moment of anger, he remembered that what Shen Hui said in front of Qin Ruozhen probably had elements of acting.

Monarchs and ministers get along with each other, the most jealous.Shen Hui had never doubted him before, and now he didn't know whether it was to appease Qin Ruozhen, or to appease the former court who was eager to try to impeach him, so he deliberately showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Thinking about the face that had turned pale just now, he smirked lightly, and it was indeed a scene that he cooperated with.

It's just that such a day, I don't know how long it will last.The former court had already made many enemies. Of course he didn't care, but being ridiculed and ridiculed every day, no matter how good his temper was, he would inevitably lose his temper. He was not sure how long he could last, and if he couldn't bear it, he would Desperately ask Shen Hui to allow him to leave.

It's a pity that I just thought about it. Sure enough, at night, I was assigned a new errand, but this day it was Shen Hui who ordered him to be on duty at night, and maybe he had something to say to him.

Shen Hui just took a shower, leaning on the bed with loose hair, looking at him quietly, scolding him face to face, "I didn't expect you to become more and more courageous, and to ignore things you do outside. Selling an official... Hmph, do you know how much Qin Taiyue has done to you for making such a fuss." After a pause, his tone was filled with hatred for iron, but more concerned about it, "You don't think about yourself, you insist on making trouble So big!"

This is really a question, Rong Yu really didn't think about it for himself.At that time, a flash of inspiration came to light, and it was not too much to say that the brain was overwhelmed. Besides, thinking about it from another angle, for Jiang Chun and his group, it was just a win-win situation for everyone.They spend money to buy fame, and at the same time solve the urgent needs of the court. Of course, this method is not a long-term solution, and the national official position naturally needs to have a certain degree of rigor.

But then again, when he invited him to play, Shen Hui also agreed to play, and now he is complaining that he is too radical?He raised his eyes slowly, his eyelashes curled up, unconsciously, his expression was a little uneasy, and he seemed to be aggrieved.

Shen Hui's eyebrows twitched when he saw it, and his voice softened, and he waved at him for a long time.

Rong Yu saw it, but didn't move. Shen Hui was leaning on the bed, his posture couldn't be more leisurely, and he didn't need him to take off his clothes at this moment, but what did he ask him for?

Shen Hui couldn't make a single move, seeing him still frowning, his long eyelashes covered, there seemed to be a faint blue halo in the shadow, this man obviously hasn't recovered yet.In fact, according to his original intention, he should be allowed to have a good rest, but he just couldn't bear it, and he was eager to explain to him what happened during the day.

Since he revealed his feelings that night, he has never set foot in the harem since then.Fortunately, Qin Ruozhen is the only one left in the palace now, the concubine Duan is just a decoration, and he will just wait for her in the future, he doesn't feel any guilt.But let him flirt with other women, even if it's just a joke, he will remember Lin Rongyu's face at that moment.

Facing Qin Ruozhen in those days, the annoyance he felt was not humane. He thought he could handle it, but he didn't want to stay for a moment.

It has been nearly 20 years, and he has never been so obsessed with letting go of someone, and he also feels that he is going to be crazy and unable to survive.In any case, I couldn't figure out whether it was really deep-rooted love, or it was just because I hadn't gotten it yet.

Then he had to experiment to know if he could let go, and he asked him to come just to verify.However, standing in front of him, thin and elegant, silent, with tightly pursed lips and slightly trembling jaw, he couldn't help but yearn for him, but also couldn't help feeling timid.

Can't hurt him, let alone scare him, Shen Hui patted the side of the bed lightly, "Come and sit, talk with me."

Frowning and frowning, if Shen Hui said this in a commanding tone, he would have a hundred reasons for refusing, and each sentence was high-sounding enough.But no, Shen Hui was gentle, with a languid tone in his tone, and there was even a hint of prayer, which he himself might not have noticed.

Struggling with all his heart, as if heaven and man were at war, after half a day, it was not that difficult for Rong Yu to convince himself to follow his instinct, so he staggered and moved forward.

Finally got to the edge of the bed, it's not a big deal to be cruel, just sit down and talk, I'm afraid he will eat me.

Shen Hui smiled contentedly, although the smile disappeared in a flash, he hid it in the corners of his brows and eyes, "What are you doing, the bed is warmed up, and you have seen my body before, why should you be so embarrassed?"

Hearing him say these crazy words again, Rong Yu turned his eyes away, not looking at the palpitating face, "I can accompany the emperor. After you arrange it, I will go to watch the room..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his hands felt warm and were held by his strong fingers. Rong Yu raised his eyes in surprise, "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Even his voice was trembling, but he couldn't help teasing him long ago, he insisted on giving him a slap and a sweet date again and again, but he didn't want to think that people's hearts are all fleshy, so why grind him so hard.

He tried hard to break free, but was held even tighter, and his posture even changed to clasping his fingers. Suddenly, his cheeks flushed, and a sense of unwilling humiliation appeared between his brows and eyes.

As for this?He was just expressing his admiration to make him suffer so much?Shen Hui felt aggrieved, and suddenly laughed out loud, with light and joy written in his eyes, "Why are you so nervous, you've even touched my face, so are you still afraid of this?"
