The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 196
Inside Ziying Hall.When He Liangde saw that the emperor dismissed Su Kanghui with just a few words, he felt that he must be fine.So he put the raised heart back into his stomach.He finally raised his head and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, if there is nothing else to do, then I will also leave."

The emperor sitting behind the Longshu case didn't pay attention to his words, but raised his hand to pick up the roster again, and then looked at it carefully.He opened his mouth and asked: "I remember this Sun Xiaotian is the only grandson of Mrs. Sun's family, right? He is almost 20 years old this year, right? Is this Bai Jinyan the child recognized by the White House a few years ago? It was a big mess back then. Everyone in the capital knows. Has he reached the marriageable age? As for this Zhou Ziyao, who is he?"

He Liangde wiped the hot sweat from his brow, and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law doesn't know about such details, let alone about the three children. The names of the three of them may be filled in by my second child. This I'll have to go back and ask."

"Then what about Qian Sanqiang? The name doesn't sound like the empress of an official." The emperor frowned and asked another name.

"This... this, this is the son of the shopkeeper of the Shunda Escort Bureau." Speaking of this, He Liangde chuckled, "Some time ago, he asked his family to ship some things. I asked someone to add his son's name to the list. Deposit."

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly understood, and he pursed his lips tightly for a while before he spoke angrily, "Then who is this Wang Gen?"

"Um, well, it seems to be the son of Mrs. Wang Qi's concubine." He Liangde replied uncertainly.

"Then who is this Lin Yueshi and Lin Yuele?" The emperor continued to ask through gritted teeth.

He Liangde chuckled: "I know this, I know this. These two are two girls from Master Lin's family. One is beautiful and the other is cute."

The emperor nodded and asked with no expression on his face: "Very well, how much money did you charge for licking their names?"

He Liangde thought it was a small amount of money, so he didn't care and said, "It's not much, it's only about 100 taels of silver. It's just money for thank you."

The emperor did not continue, but turned to Eunuch Fu and said, "Go to Yuqing Hall, invite Concubine He Gui, and then go to the Ministry of War to give orders to Han Heng. I will not treat him badly."

After receiving the decree, Eunuch Fu hurriedly withdrew from Ziying Hall.

After leaving the hall, Eunuch Fu couldn't help sighing, and hurried to the Yuqing Hall.

When she arrived at Yuqing Hall, Concubine He Guifei saw that Eunuch Fu was very happy, and asked, "Does Your Majesty have any orders? You actually sent Eunuch Fu here in person."

Eunuch Fu saluted and replied with a smile: "The emperor invites your mother to go to Ziying Hall."

After hearing this, Concubine He Gui's eyes lit up. In the past, except for the queen and the woman who didn't know her origin, they were allowed to enter and leave Ziying Hall frequently.All other concubines in the harem are prohibited from entering Ziying Hall without being summoned.The last time it was rumored that he entered the Ziying Palace, he was promoted to a noble concubine and given him an assistant in the harem.I don't know what the emperor said about himself today.

Concubine He Guifei winked at Shi Lan and asked, "Eunuch Fu, I really trouble you. I don't know why Your Majesty asked me to go?"

Eunuch Fu looked at the purse given to him by Shilan Fortress, pushed it back, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will know when she goes."

Concubine He Gui watched as Eunuch Fu pushed back the purse.I couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a bad feeling rose in my heart.She continued to smile and said, "Eunuch Fu, can you wait for me for a while, I will go change my clothes."

Eunuch Fu smiled and said: "Then I will leave a little eunuch here to wait for your mother. Let him take your mother there later. His majesty also sent me to do other things, so I won't delay here any longer. My mother, please Don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Concubine He Gui nodded and said with a smile: "Then we won't keep Eunuch Fu anymore. Eunuch Fu please go ahead."

Eunuch Fu withdrew after saluting, leaving behind a young eunuch who followed. .Concubine He Gui winked at Shi Lan again.Shi Lan stuffed the lucky bag that was not accepted by Eunuch Fu into the hand of the little eunuch who stayed behind.

Seeing that Eunuch Fu had not confiscated it, the little eunuch hurriedly shied away a few times.Shi Lan said angrily: "Eunuch Fu is the emperor's man, so it is inconvenient for him to accept some money, and the empress understands it. You are a little eunuch, and you dare to refuse the money that the empress rewards you. You are too courageous. Don't forget who is in charge of the harem now."

The little lady listened to Shi Lan's words, and fell down on her knees with a plop in fright: "Your Majesty, you're making amends. Even the master dare not accept it. If the little one is taken back and the master finds out, he will definitely be skinned by the master. Your majesty has If you want to know anything, just ask. I really dare not take this small purse."

Concubine He Gui nodded in satisfaction and said, "Shi Lan, okay, okay, don't be a little eunuch. Get up. Tell me. Why did the emperor ask me to go over?"

The little eunuch stood up tremblingly, did not dare to raise his head and said: "I don't know why I am so small. I just know. When the morning court was about to end, Mr. He entered Ziying Hall. Afterwards, Mr. Su went in again. After a stick of incense, Lord Su and the eldest son left together. But Lord He stayed inside. Not long after, the master brought me to your place, the imperial concubine."

After He Guifei heard this, she frowned.He waved his hand and signaled the little eunuch to wait at the door.She took Shi Lan to the inner room.

Concubine He Gui asked Shi Lan to recomb her hair and put hairpins in.On the one hand, he was a little puzzled and said to Shi Lan: "Brother, is he free recently? He actually has the time to enter the palace, and he ran to the emperor instead of looking for me. Isn't he preparing the Qiuju banquet at the mansion?"

Shi Lan paused for a moment and said: "There were a few small things. I don't think it's necessary to tell the empress. But today I heard that Master Su has entered the palace. Then the servant will tell the empress. From the emperor's roster Let’s get down and start. There are many people in the house who hand out posts for their young masters and ladies. I want to add their names to the guest list.”

"The elder saw that it was profitable, so he asked the steward to collect 100 taels of silver for each name. Probably the elder let go of this matter to the steward. The steward did not control the number of people, so the number was increased. As a result, yesterday Master Su temporarily checked the roster to see how many vacant tables needed to be prepared, only to find that the roster was much larger. So he complained to the housekeeper."

Concubine He Guifei put down the comb in her hand, turned her head to look at Shilan, and said with certainty: "There must be more than that. When the preparations for the Qiuju Banquet were about to start, I sent someone to get to know Mr. Su. This Mr. Su is an honest man. People. He has no merit or demerit on weekdays. His temperament is also very peaceful. It is said that the people in the Ministry of Rites have never seen him lose his temper. .I'm afraid it's not that simple."
