Chapter 18 Relocation

Rong Yu hurried back to the palace before evening, even though he took a detour and brought Shen Hui exquisite pastries from the hottest pastry shop in the capital, it still didn't make him look good.

Shen Hui thought he had been wandering outside for too long, "If you let it out, you won't know how to come back, and your heart will run wild. Since this is the case, I will simply send you out to patrol the coastal defense and let you go to Fujian and Guangdong. It's not even worse if you go far away. Do you like it?"

Rong Yupin smacked his tone, and unexpectedly noticed a hint of both reproach and teasing. This discovery made him very speechless. He was not sure whether Shen Hui was really making fun of him or really angry, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

"You can't even say a word to please me. How did you become the palm seal? If I didn't favor you, I don't know how many times you died."

Shen Hui seemed to be really angry, and his expression became more and more impatient.

Rong Yu hastily reviewed himself, and was really not good at speaking nice words, so he could only express his opinion honestly, "Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong, and I will never come back so late in the future."

Shen Hui didn't seem to pay attention to the word "later", so he glanced at him, then pointed to Xiao Shangao's memorial on the case, and ordered, "I'm tired of eyes today, you read it to me."

Suddenly recalling Li Songyang's words, Rong Yu began to feel inappropriate, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't read the memorial, nor should I know the cabinet's decisions."

Shen Hui became even more impatient, "What should I say? What I said is right! It's not that you haven't seen it, you can watch one, and you can watch a hundred. Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."

If I had known this, I should have not even looked at it!But that was what he ordered himself to do, with tolerance and sincerity, it was really unlikely that he would refuse at that time.

I couldn't fight, so I had to read it to him one by one. After Shen Hui finished listening, sometimes he was silent for a while before accepting the instructions, sometimes he would take them and write them on Zhu Zhu immediately, and sometimes he thought the ministers were long-winded and only let him choose. It wants to delete the complicated and read it out.

During the whole process, Rong Yu had to make tea for him, pour tea for him, serve him with refreshments, and change the incense. He was the only one serving in the temple, so he came down after busy work, and waited for all the memorials to be approved and spent. The time was longer than Shen Hui himself thought.

While Rong Yu was tidying up those papers, he tried to use this result to persuade him not to do it again next time, but Shen Hui seemed to know what Rong Yu was going to say, motioned him to shut up, and said, "What's so interesting today? See How many provinces are there students?"

Rong Yu briefly talked about what he had seen and heard today, especially the character and temperament of Li Songyang and Yan Ji.

"It's true that the good is better, and the bad is worse. The state's finances are limited, and the provinces have to raise their own funds. Shanxi people can't just study business, and pay attention to rural conditions in officialdom. Provinces with fewer people will suffer. This principle has to be left to themselves. It's good to understand."

After Shen Hui finished speaking, he got up and was about to go back to the bedroom. Rong Yu hurriedly followed, and heard him casually say, "Tomorrow, I will order the construction office to clean up the yard outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation. According to the regulations you live in now, make it right." Then you move in."

Rong Yu was taken aback, the small duty rooms outside the Qianqing Gate were used for the temporary rest of the servants last night, Shen Hui actually wanted him to live there for a long time, it should be for the convenience of summoning, but there was no such room in the palace before. Such rules.

"From now on, I will read the notebooks to me every day. It is convenient to live, so I don't have to go back and forth." He sat on the couch in the inner hall, and the palace servants burned black agarwood in the hall. There was a silence. "After reading the memorial for half a day, I ask you, how do you feel?"

Rong Yu had no distracting thoughts at this moment, he was able to sort out the thoughts in his head, and said after considering, "The chief assistant is a high-ranking official, and he speaks his word in the court. Although the cabinet only has voting rights, but the officials seem to regard the chief assistant as important." Act with your heart, even if you have different opinions, you will be suppressed by him."

It suddenly occurred to him that there was a letter that was not considered an inscription mixed in the memorial just now. It was Qin Ruozhen who had asked to come to the palace to visit Shen Hui tomorrow. He didn't know if Shen Hui agreed. He was about to ask, but thought for a while Still refraining from speaking.

Shen Hui pressed his brows, pondered for a moment, and Fang waved his hands, "Go ahead. Tomorrow when the Qin family enters the palace, you will welcome her at the Xihua Gate. In the future, she will be considered your master, and serve you carefully."

It turned out that they still wanted to see each other, but Rong Yu bowed to accept the order, but walked out.

At si o'clock the next day, Rong Yu was already waiting for the Qin family's car to drive at Xihua Gate. Qin Ruozhen got out of the car, and Rong Yu went up to salute and greet her. grade, but it is inconvenient to accept your gift."

I don't know if there is any dissatisfaction with Shen Hui in these words. Although the wedding date is set for one year later, it is only a matter of time. One day, Rong and need to pay homage to her, so I still bowed respectfully and served her on the imperial court. Give Jianyu, according to the rules, Fuyu walks beside her.

Through the bead curtain, Qin Ruozhen's voice was clear and soft, "The palm print is young and promising, and has won the emperor's trust. I have heard it outside the palace. When I come to the palace in the future, there are still many things that the palm print needs to mention."

Rong Yu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, just tell her to call him by his name.Li Songyang's words that day could not help but pop up in his mind, thinking that he is already so famous, it seems that it is difficult to stay by the king's side and not attract people's attention.

Taking Qin Ruozhen to the South Study Room for a rest, Rong Yu leaned forward and said, "Miss Qin, wait a moment, the emperor is still discussing matters in the Xuanzheng Hall, and he will not be back until about an hour later. If you need anything, just ask the minister."

Qin Ruozhen shook her head with a smile, walked to the bookshelf, picked out a book at random and flipped through it, and looked at it intently, it was Huang Gongwang's "Landscape Art".

He once heard that Qin Ruozhen was a well-known talented woman in the capital. She could compose poems at the age of 11, and she had been a princess's companion to read. reputation.

Having nothing to do at the moment, Rong Yu looked at her carefully. She was wearing a Tianshui Biru dress, and the most conspicuous accessory on her head was just a butterfly hairpin. The elegant state makes people forget the vulgarity.

Hearing her smile for a while, "This Huang Gongwang is too pedantic. Pine trees are used to describe gentlemen, and miscellaneous trees are used to describe villains. In this way, cypress, camphor, and nan are not considered good trees?"

Rong and Hui said, "Fortunately, future generations do not take this as a lesson, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to see the picture of the Six Gentlemen."

Qin Ruozhen looked up at him, "Rong Yu knows painting well? It's rare to hear from your father that you are well educated. Did you learn it before entering the palace?"

Rong He lowered his eyes, and responded humbly, "Master Shou Fu is absurd, I have read some books before entering the palace, and I just know Braille."

Qin Ruozhen groaned, and didn't mention this again.After a long time, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "The emperor has always admired talented people, and it is good fortune to be lucky enough to be able to do so. However, the duty of a servant is to serve diligently. If you are obsessed with learning, you are putting the cart before the horse. I see You are a smart person, you should understand this very well."

After the words fell, his tolerance and heart tightened, followed by his chest churning, and he felt unconvinced.It took a while to realize that it was just a sentence, and it was really not worth it, so I hurriedly restrained my mind, put on a bowed appearance, and said yes with a smile.

In fact, he has been taught like this countless times in the palace for so many years. Everyone will say similar things, and he has long been used to listening to instructions calmly and silently. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of injustice today, which is really unimaginable.

It was ten minutes before noon when Shen Hui came to the South Study Room.Rong Yu served tea and saw that there was nothing to do in the hall, so he left.

The moment the door was closed, Qin Ruozhen called Yuanxi with a hint of joy.Those were Shen Hui's characters. Since the death of Emperor Shengping, no one had mentioned these two characters for a long time.

His capacity and thoughts fluctuated, and he couldn't help saying it silently in his heart, like a spell. These two words could only linger in his mind, until Fantine pulled his sleeve and called him, and then he came back to his senses, seeing She tilted her head and laughed, "Under the poisonous sun, why are you so dazed?"

Rong Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, this is inhumane, and then raised his eyes to see her in high spirits, his face was full of joy, he couldn't help asking, "So happy, what happy event do you have to share?"

Fantine hummed, and pulled him to hide under the shade of a tree, "My brother has come to Beijing, and the emperor has promoted him to be the commander of the [-]th Regiment, and he will live in Beijing forever." He hesitated for a while, but pouted again. He said, "It's a pity that I can't leave the palace, and I still can't see him often."

The [-]th Regiment Battalion is stationed in Gyeonggi, with the commander-in-chief as the supreme commander. There are [-] elite soldiers under his command, and they only obey the emperor's orders. They are the royal guards.

This is of course an extremely important position, and Rong Yu hurriedly congratulated her, "It seems that the emperor trusts brother Ling very much, which is a good thing. Although you can't leave the palace for the time being, he can come to see you from time to time, and he will naturally see you when the time comes .”

Fantine turned her head and thought for a while, but still frowned, "I don't serve much in front of the emperor now, you are in front of the emperor, Rong Yu, I want to ask you something, if you have time to go out, go for me Can you take a look at my brother? I still have something, please bring it to him for me. We haven’t seen each other for many years. He went to Liaodong Daying in the past. I’m in this deep palace, and it takes several months to exchange letters. Received, now he is my only relative."

But it's a matter of little effort, Rong Yuran said yes with a smile.Fantine suddenly smiled brightly, turned her face and said melancholy, "Most of the maids in this palace have relatives, and even relatives like me work outside, but what about you? You really don't have any relatives?"

If he had heard this in the past, Rong Yu might have felt sentimental, but now, he knows very well that if he hadn't made any serious mistakes, he would have to serve Shen Hui for the rest of his life. Less trouble, and avoid hurting others in the future.

Fantine also thought of this, and sighed again, "But that's fine, you are on the cusp now, if you have another relative who is in trouble, you don't know how much trouble you will cause. Although you are more convenient than me and can often go out of the palace, but in the end I will be here for the rest of my life. I will be almost twenty in the next year, and the Long Live Lord will probably release me, so these days I am only asked to do some things to teach the palace people. When I leave, the emperor will only be around You are left." He blinked and said playfully, "However, you can still go out to see me, you will come, won't you?"

Infected by her good mood, Rong Yu nodded with a smile, "Of course, I'm afraid that your husband will hate me when he sees me. Why does this servant always come to see my wife? My wife is no longer a member of the palace. Can you stop disturbing me?" Our peaceful and comfortable days..."

Before he finished speaking, Fantine stretched out her hand and slapped him on the arm, and said coquettishly, "You have learned badly now, you are full of words." She blushed for a moment, turned her back and ignored him he.

Rong Yu couldn't help laughing secretly, he was really ashamed seeing her, thinking of the little girl's thin skin, he had to cover his smile and bow to her to accompany her.

Then she turned around slowly, and said with a slightly serious face, "Calling you Hu Qin made me forget about the business. Here, the house sent by the building office, Long Live Lord asked me to show you, what's the matter?" Just let them know what you want to change." Handing the blueprint in his hand to Rong Yu, it was the renovation plan for the small courtyard outside the Qianqing Gate.

After a quick look, there is actually nothing that can be changed. Rong Yu has never had high requirements for the place to live, and the specifications and furnishings in the palace also have their own formulas. Anyway, as long as it is enough for him and Lin Sheng to live in.

"Now you are closer to the Long Live Lord, but with such a random presence, I am afraid that there is no chance to go out of the palace to live. Speaking of which, why don't you buy a house outside? Even if you don't live in it, it is your property." no?"

Now that I asked Zhu Rongyu, he held the blueprint and thought about it roughly, a little confused about what a person like him who doesn't even have relatives wants property for.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Fantine patted him on the shoulder, "It's fine if you don't go out, Lord Long Live loves you so much, and you can't leave for a moment. But," she stopped talking, her eyes seemed worried, "God Long Live's Favor is not necessarily a good thing for you. After all, you are different from us. "
