Jinyi Music

Chapter 589 Extra Story [-]
"Xiao Lin, a letter from the capital!"

The weather in the south is sultry and humid. The windows of the study are open on all sides, but there is no wind coming in. Silian is sitting in front of the window, fanning the fan with one hand, and waving the letter in his hand with the other. In the pool outside the window, the father and son While soaking in the water to enjoy the cool, the thick canopy of a big tree almost covered half of the yard. Under the shade of the tree, Mou Biao watched his son take a deep breath, sinking his little head into the water, counting silently, and Turning her head and beckoning to Si Lian, Si Lian took the letter out of the study door, walked to the stone bench by the pool and sat down.
"The letter was written by the eldest brother, saying that His Majesty's dragon body is ill and has not been in court for half a month!"

"Half a month?"

Mou Biao counted the days,
"It will take four or five days for Xin to travel from the capital to this place. It will take about twenty days. What's wrong with your Majesty?"

Silian looked at the letter,
"Brother said that the palace only said that His Majesty suffered from the heat... But all the officials have said that His Majesty has tuberculosis..."

Mou Biao snorted and didn't speak, watching Si Lian take out another letter, which was sent by Wen Zifeng from the capital,
"This is a letter from Kuishan from the capital..."

Wen Zifeng still wants Jinyiwei now, and he has already held the position of Qianhu, but he was promoted by Mou Biao before he left.

Speaking of which, Silian opened the envelope, and when she opened it, her expression changed.
"The letter said that His Majesty fell into the water..."

"Falling into the water?"

Mou Biao dragged his son out of the water, and jumped onto the bank with only his shorts on. Brother Fu refused to go up, broke free from his hand, rushed to the edge of the pool barefoot, and jumped in again with a plop. Going to the bench, they turned to face the pool. The husband and wife looked at the letter in their hands while watching Fu'er thumping in the water from the corners of their eyes...

Speaking of Emperor Zhengde's falling into the water, this is a bit long. It is only said that after Mou Biao left the capital with his wife and children, Zhengde favored Jiang Bin, indulged in fun, and neglected political affairs. Among them, his behavior became more indulgent and unrestrained, and all political affairs were handed over to Liu Jin. This eunuch was greedy and amassed countless fortunes, which attracted scolding from all over the world.

The emperor turned a deaf ear to this and devoted himself to having fun, but even though he was an emperor, he was still a human being. He played and played at twelve hours a day and met his understanding, gentle and lovely sister Feng, Naturally, he was incapable of doing his own thing, so he ignored all the concubines in the harem.

Empress Xia, the hostess in the harem, exists as nothing. She dare not ask where the emperor sleeps every night. On the contrary, she lives a leisurely life. Concubine Rong is in a hurry!

These two people were still trying to separate each other and were jealous, but now they joined hands,

"Your Majesty, put your mind on those vixens outside and leave us sisters in the palace. If this continues, I'm afraid that one day you and I will be replaced!"

The two first pestered Zhu Houzhao to go to the leopard room, but Zhu Houzhao took them there too. When they got there, they found that there were indeed many rare and exotic beasts inside, as well as young and handsome male slaves and beautiful and enchanting female slaves. Several.

Although this place is still in the capital, there are two worlds when the door is closed and the imperial palace. Here, Zhu Houzhao has removed the disguise of an emperor and played in a variety of tricks. That is something you dare not think about, without him, you dare not play of.

At the beginning, the two of them still relied on their status as concubines and refused to submit, but later they let go of their restraint and joined them, especially Gao Yinger, who originally came from a humble background and once stayed in the women's team who prostituted herself everywhere. Without his identity, he dared to play with everything, even flirting with a strong male slave in front of Zhu Houzhao.

But Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he saw this, and he put his arms around Gao Yinger and called her sweetheart baby. He only said that he loved her profligacy the most, and liked to see Mu Yourong's face full of reluctance, and finally surrendered in joy and couldn't extricate himself. The two of them knew that this matter was too absurd, and they risked everything just to please the emperor!
But even if they are so open-minded, they still can't dominate the emperor. This master will disappear for a few days every few days, neither going to court, nor returning to the palace. When asked about his whereabouts, he just said, "My How can you inquire about where to go, if you don't want to stay here anymore, go back to the palace!"

Concubine Ying and Concubine Rong secretly hated each other, so they got together to discuss in private.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there are people out there, and you don't know what kind of coquettish it is to protect him so tightly!"

"Exactly. I noticed something was wrong before, and I asked Mou Biao about it, but he refused to say it again and again..."

Speaking of Mou Biao, Gao Yinger still has lingering hatred,

"Since His Majesty came back from fighting Jiangnan, something is wrong. That Mou Biao knows the truth, but he just refuses to tell it!"

Mu Yourong is more sensible than her,

"He is a subject of His Majesty, so he will naturally keep secrets for His Majesty..."

After thinking about it,

"He is tight-lipped, but now Liu Jin and Jiang Bin beside His Majesty are no better than Mou Biao..."

The two discussed it, and finally gave the money to Liu Jin. It's not that he didn't think about Jiang Bin, but Jiang Bin is a kid who smiles all day long, and he looks like he's planning something to hurt others in his heart. , it's not as good as Liu Jin's eunuch, who has a clear price, and he is innocent!

Only the money was sent over, but Liu Jin confiscated it, only saying yes,

"If the two empresses ask others, I will definitely tell you the truth, but this matter... I really can't help you!"

The more he was like this, the more the two felt that this matter was strange.

"He refuses to say, it's because there is not enough money. Who knows that this eunuch loves money like his life!"

As soon as the two gritted their teeth and became cruel, they picked out a few good things from their own palace and sent them to Liu Jin. Liu Jin was so embarrassed when he saw it that his heart was about to be broken in two!

Tell me, if His Majesty finds out, my life will be in danger!

Let's not talk about it, this... so many good things are in front of you, and if you let them slip away for nothing, I'm afraid you will feel distressed for the rest of your life when you think about it!

Liu Jin was baring his teeth in the room with his hands behind his back, but the little eunuch at the side gave him an idea.
"Elder-in-law, what is there to worry about... Yi Nubi is watching this matter... it's easy to handle!"

"Oh, what do you say?"

Liu Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, the little eunuch smiled and leaned over to whisper a few words,

"This matter...isn't it just like this...isn't it all right?"

Liu Jin laughed out loud when he heard that.

"Okay, okay! You're the one with the smartest brain!"

So Liu Jin took the money, and only passed a note to Concubine Ying and Concubine Rong, which said,

"Outer city, Zhujiabuzhuang..."

When the two of them saw it, they were a little puzzled, and asked the little eunuch who sent the letter, the little eunuch smiled and said,
"Our father-in-law said that the goods in that cloth shop are very good. If the two ladies are tired of wearing palace materials, they will send someone out to have a look..."

again,

"After asking the two ladies to read this piece, let's burn it now!"

Our father-in-law didn't say anything, just let the girls go buy cloth!

The two burned the note as they said, and after the little eunuch left, they discussed,

"We can't help ourselves, we can't come and go freely, I'm afraid we'll have to ask someone outside to take a look!"

Mu Yourong's family is in Kaifeng, there is no one in the capital, but Gao Yinger has a cheap old woman, and she has to visit the palace once a month. Gao Yinger is a smart person, and she never forgets to support the Gao family when she is favored, and so is the Gao family. She has gained a lot of benefits, and now is the time when they are needed, she sent the news, and the Gao family soon sent people to the outer city to look for the Zhujiabu village.

It was a capable old steward of the Gao family who went to do this. The old steward knew that there must be a reason for the master to let him go to see the cloth village, so he connected to the teahouse opposite the cloth village. I reserved a private room for a month, and sat in that private room every morning to drink tea, and opened the window halfway to stare at the opposite side.

At first he didn't see anything, but after three or five days he became curious,
"I have also been taking care of the general affairs for the master for many years. I have practiced my eyesight. The business of this cloth shop is deserted and there are few customers. I am afraid that I don't have much income every day. On the streets of the outer city, here It's considered prosperous, but the price of the shop here is not cheap, can you get back your money if you do business like this?"

The old steward was also a person who had seen the world, so he immediately realized that this shop might not be used for business!
On the sixth day, he finally saw three people getting out of a carriage. First, a middle-aged man with a white face and a slightly fat body.

"This...is this Eunuch Liu?"

He is a servant of Gao's mansion, so naturally he can't see the father-in-law in the palace, but after Gao Ying'er became a concubine, when Liu Jin came to Gao's house to read out the imperial decree, the old steward met him. The nobles in the palace naturally remembered it, how could they not be surprised when they saw it on the street?

Then Liu Jin turned around and went to help the people in the car, but it was a young man who got out of the car, and then the young man helped a beautiful woman out of the car. The two looked intimate and they were husband and wife. After entering the cloth shop, the old steward ran down the stairs in a hurry and also entered the cloth shop.

The business in this cloth shop is deserted, the old steward went in and saw only three people talking in the hall, the beautiful woman asked,
"This business looks a little deserted, how can you look at the account book and still have a lot of money every month?"

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man responded,
"Ma'am, it's noon at this time, the sun is shining outside, and the cloth buyers won't come out at this time, so you can't see it!"

The young woman nodded and asked the man beside her,
"Wu Lang, the goods on this cabinet are a little dusty, you have to tell the guys to work hard, how can customers buy such goods?"

The young man nodded,
"I've been shopping outside for a while, but I've neglected the inside of the shop. I'll definitely teach them a lesson when I turn back!"

And the young woman exhorted,

"Don't be too harsh, just talk to them carefully!"

"it is good!"

The young man readily agreed, and the three of them turned around and saw the old steward who was pricking up his ears, the woman greeted,
"The customer is buying cloth?"

The old steward nodded, looked around, pointed to a piece of white cloth on the cabinet,
"I have something to do at home, I need to buy some white cloth!"

The woman hurriedly asked the waiter to measure it for him. The old steward looked at Liu Jin who was standing beside him and said,

"No need to measure, I want this one!"

The woman bought a piece of white cloth with money, and the woman smiled when she saw it.
"This piece of cloth has been sold a few feet before, so it's cheaper for you if you don't buy the whole piece. I promise you four hundred and eight dollars, and I'll charge you four hundred!"

The old steward nodded and took out the silver. The young woman personally sent him out of the shop, then turned around and smiled at the man,

"Wu Lang, this business really goes without saying, and it came as soon as it was said!"

The man replied,

"Isn't that so, so Sister Feng doesn't have to worry about the business in the shop, and this hot day...don't need to run back and forth!"

"I'm not worried..."

The old steward only listened to a few sentences of the conversation between the two, then hurriedly left with the cloth in his hands, and returned home to report what happened to his lord, and lord Gao also heard something strange,
"You said it was Liu Jin, with Eunuch Liu by your side?"

"Exactly, this old slave knows Eunuch Liu...it's not wrong..."

Master Gao frowned,
"Who else can he serve? That young man is probably His Majesty..."

Mr. Gao and the old steward looked at each other, they are all veterans, can't you see the idea, the emperor is hiding in the golden house outside, pretending to be a rich man to play with beauties!
Master Gao thought about the news sent by Concubine Ying, thought for a while and said,

"Go and stare again and see where they live. Who else is in that house?"

It's fine if there is only one woman, but if a son comes out, it will be troublesome!

The old steward went back the next day, but this time he hadn't stayed in the private room for half a day before someone knocked on the door, and it was two burly men with good features and good looks who came in, one of them Take out the badge and wave it in front of the old steward,
"But the Gaofu is in charge!"

Seeing that it was Jin Yiwei, the old steward was taken aback and stammered,
"Yes!"

That Jinyi Weidao,
"Our lord has said that, for the sake of Concubine Gao, it will be about the same in a few days, please go back and report to Lord Gao, be cautious in your words and deeds, and keep a close eye on what you shouldn't say. You just have to say it!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The old steward returned to the mansion in a cold sweat, and told Mr. Gao about the matter, Mr. Gao had a wry smile on his face,

"The madam has entered the palace early this morning!"

Originally, according to Master Gao's intention, he wanted to inquire again, but when he went back to talk to his wife that night, Mrs. Gao was impatient.

"Your Majesty is hiding a woman outside, this is not a good thing!"

She thought of something with Master Gao,
"It's fine if it's just a one-night fling, but now it's clear that they've been pretending to be husband and wife outside for a long time. If this woman neglects the empress, and then gives birth to a son and a half daughter, then the status of the empress will be fine." But it won't be guaranteed!"

Since Gao Yinger entered the Gao family and became her daughter, the honor and disgrace of the Gao family was tied to Gao Yinger. If Gao Yinger fell out of favor, what would happen to her two sons?

She also counted on the empress to find a good future for her sons in front of His Majesty!
No way!This matter should be prepared early!
Mrs. Gao went to the palace early the next morning to ask Concubine Ying to see her, but she waited outside the palace gate for a while before someone came back to say yes,

"The Concubine Ying is serving His Majesty in the Leopard Room!"

So Mrs. Gao went to the newly built leopard room again, and asked people to go in and report the money, but after a while, the maid who was next to Concubine Ying came to take her in. Mrs. Gao went in to see Concubine Ying, and explained the matter. Concubine Ying clenched her silver teeth when she heard this,

"Okay! Sure enough, there is a Hu Meizi!"
