The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 581: Inside and Outside the Palace
If possible, Jia Yucun naturally hopes to make his words clear.

However, he mistakenly thought that Gu Dashou was delivering a message for Zhang Yun逸. If he made a request in advance, it might be suspected of bargaining, so he kept it tacitly understood.

After all, he is not Jia Lian. He has an unspeakable secret and has to seek help from Zhang Yunyi. In addition, he has complicated feelings towards Jiao Xing.

Just before closing the door, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yunyi groping along Jiao Xingou's arm, and heard his disrespectful words.

Jia Yucun's mind was suddenly filled with mixed emotions, and he was worried about gains and losses.

After a brief moment of unconsciousness, the panting sound in the room behind him gradually became heavier, accompanied by the sound of dishes colliding.

Jia Yucun's face, as dark as water, turned blue and white, and finally was covered with blue.

His eyes, which were black and white, looked like an eagle, and were about to burst into tears, and were instantly filled with blood.

As the bloodshot in his eyes gradually thickened, the interwoven scenes of black, white and red in his eyes gradually became blurred and distant, replaced by the black and white interwoven crane patch and the bright red first-rank official uniform.

Jia Yucun took a deep breath, and his slightly hunched back unconsciously straightened up. He raised his head to look at the crescent moon in the sky, stepped on Jiao Xing's hearty and rhythmic moans, and without looking back, he walked towards the main house with firm steps.

……

at the same time.

In the palace, inside the Yangxin Hall.

"What? You are too embarrassed to shout out your submission to my might?"

Emperor Wanlong's majestic voice, with its lingering sound, echoed in the empty hall.

The more severe the repression, the more violent the explosion.

As soon as Emperor Wanlong finished speaking, Concubine Zhou's suppressed pleas for mercy and gasps exploded in the hall like a flood that had burst a dam.

"Ah! Your Majesty, please spare me... I am... I am going to die..."

The sound is gentle and melodious, and the lingering sound is lingering.

Emperor Wanlong seemed to be inspired by something, as if he had really transformed into a dragon, full of ambition and pride, turning rivers and seas upside down and causing great waves.

a long time……

Concubine Zhou, who had a very different style from Concubine Wu and was dignified yet mature and charming, spread her arms and lay weakly on the dragon couch.

Looking at Concubine Zhou, who was lying under him like mud, breathing out more than breathing in, the depression on Emperor Wanlong's brow was finally relieved a little.

Although the new medicine from the Imperial Medical Bureau failed to meet his expectations.

Even compared with Zhang Yunyi, there is still a big gap. But even if there are still shortcomings, it is enough to make the always dignified Lady Zhou confused and dazed.

It also slightly calmed the unwillingness in his heart.

He straightened his back twice angrily, then fell on Concubine Zhou's back like a deflated ball.

It was unknown how long it had been, but the drowsy Emperor Wanlong noticed the movement below him and a soft call, and he suddenly woke up.

He narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his hand, and touched the back of Concubine Zhou's head like he was touching a kitten.

He smoothed down Concubine Zhou's messy bun, brushed aside a strand of hair that had fallen on her temples, and leaned on her soft shoulders. He leaned close to her ear and said, "How good is this? Just take this as a small punishment today and a big warning. Don't act so arrogantly with me in the future. Tomorrow I will issue an edict to confer a title on you..."

At this point, Emperor Wanlong paused for a moment before saying, "I will follow the ancient Zhou Li system of one queen, three wives, and nine concubines and confer you the title of Madam Miaoyin. This will also serve as a warning to you. Don't act so pretentiously in front of me in the future."

Lady Zhou...

No! It should be Madam Miaoyin. She wanted to stand up and thank the emperor, but she was pressed down by Emperor Wanlong. She was afraid that if she overturned the emperor, it would cause unnecessary fantasies and bring trouble to herself.

She had no choice but to twist her waist with difficulty, and her plump and mature body began to slowly crawl like a caterpillar.

Facing the touch coming from under him, which was like lying on a soft cloud, Emperor Wanlong was not happy but frightened. He hurriedly raised his hand and pressed Madam Miaoyin's shoulder. "Don't move! Talk to me again..."

Madam Miaoyin was stunned when she heard this, but then, she was at a loss and hesitated for a few times, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty! I haven't thanked you yet!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wanlong suddenly realized that he had misunderstood, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along with it: "Have you forgotten my instructions just now? There are no outsiders here, so why bother with all those empty formalities..."

He summoned up his remaining courage and increased the strength of his hands to stop the uneasy Madam Miaoyin. He paused, took a breath, and said, "Besides, there is no rush to thank you. I haven't finished what I want to say yet!"

Madam Miaoyin also misunderstood and quickly buried her head in the quilt, hesitatingly saying: "Your Majesty... please forgive me..."

Her voice was panting and tender, and Emperor Wanlong felt his heart soften. But then, his mouth twitched and he said in a muffled voice, "I naturally know that my beloved concubine is overwhelmed, so how could I not pity you?"

Because Madam Miaoyin had her back to him, Emperor Wanlong did not hide the resentment on his face.

At the same time, I secretly thought that the side effects of this medicine were too severe.

Then, he patiently explained, "This time, Li Congwen's case has also reminded me that I plan to reform the three judicial departments. Your brother has been the Minister of Personnel for some time. This time, it is just right to promote him to the Ministry of Justice and entrust him with an important task."

Because Madam Miaoyin was less interesting, in the afternoon, Emperor Wanlong suddenly heard that a new medicine had come out from the Imperial Hospital. He was overjoyed and subconsciously thought of the more considerate Concubine Wu.

But he immediately changed his mind and summoned Concubine Zhou to sleep with him.

On the one hand, we have learned from past experience that excessive use of this type of drug will lead to drug resistance.

Therefore, if you want to completely convince Madam Miaoyin, you have to do it as soon as possible.

On the other hand, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is closely related to the previous dynasty.

In the past, Zhou Xianzu relied on his sister's relationship to gain the upper hand and get the position of Minister.

In addition, her silent attitude made Emperor Wanlong feel uncomfortable, and he never gave her any rewards.

Now, Zhou Xianzu is about to be entrusted with an important task, and the Ministry of Justice is not only the top priority of the reform of the Three Law Departments, but also has many powers of the Five Cities Military Department.

With the reversal of the situation, Zhou Xianzu's sister in the harem should also benefit from it.

However, Concubine Zhou's rank in the harem was not high. Although the emperor had the final say on all matters in the harem, her promotion several levels at once would inevitably be too much and easily attract attention.

Therefore, they took a different approach and followed the Zhou rituals, choosing the title of Madam Miaoyin.

It not only avoids consecutive promotions to higher levels to attract attention, but also does not make the reward too light. It also serves as a warning and implies appreciation for the gentle and melodious voice.

Being able to think of such a way to kill several birds with one stone, even Emperor Wanlong, who is so shrewd, couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself.

Madam Miaoyin comes from a family of officials. Although she is not good at currying favor, she is very clear about the underlying logic.

She pondered for a moment and then realized that this was the emperor's preparation for making use of his brother.

Although he couldn't hide the joy on his face, the lingering charm unconsciously diminished a bit.

Because of the previous experience, she did not rush to speak. After waiting for a while, she saw that the emperor had no more words to say, then she slowly struggled twice and called out in a low voice: "Emperor...Emperor?"

But before he could finish his words, Emperor Wanlong, who was lying on his shoulder, started snoring.

This……

Madam Miaoyin's face froze, and she was suddenly in a dilemma. As time passed, she felt heavier on her body.

The smile that had just come from being conferred the title and having her brother promoted gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a feeling of being overwhelmed and unspeakable bitterness.
