The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 608 Bet
"Yesterday, many people in Jingren Palace were not there. Someone must have come in to find something. But that person knew that something was buried here, but he didn't know where it was buried. It should not be from Jingren Palace. People, I think it was done by people outside Jingren Palace." Yanhua almost concluded that this is the case, it seems that Qiqiao, Luluo and that little maid are gone, but the matter is not over yet.

"Shaoyao, go to the House of Internal Affairs and tell the people in the House of Internal Affairs according to my instructions yesterday. You should take care of the affairs in Chengqian Palace, at least tidy up the inside, so that it is really deserted there. It's a pity. I will arrange for someone to live in later..."

"Lingxi, follow me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

When Yanhua arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she realized that Zhang Tingyu was discussing matters with Yinzhen in the Xinuang Pavilion. Yanhua thought that she had come too early and was about to leave when someone stopped her.

Looking back, it was Su Peisheng.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor just said that if Your Majesty comes over, let's go to the East Nuan Pavilion and wait for a while. The Emperor has something to say to Your Majesty."

"it is good."

Zhang Tingyu withdrew from Xinuang Pavilion not long after, wiped the sweat from his forehead when he exited, and let out a long sigh of relief, as if letting go of a huge burden.

He, as soon as he went back yesterday, he was dragged by his wife to cry and told about how Xiaoxiao sent Zhang Ruoai back.With a blue face, Zhang Ruoai also told how he and Xiaoxiao met twice before, and after that, the three of them were silent, because they all agreed that Xiaoxiao was too savage.

Because Zhang Tingyu didn't want to follow Nian Gengyao's old path, he always had high demands on his three sons, and didn't allow them to use their titles to run amok outside.

Being a son-in-law should be a very honorable thing, but Zhang Ruoai is a scholar with backbone, otherwise, relying on his father's powerful position, he would have obtained an official position long ago.Zhang Tingyu felt troubled because he understood his son's temperament and knew that he would not fill up a twisted melon.

After all, Zhang Ruoai is a son he admires very much, and he doesn't want his son's talent to be tortured by the little princess.

"...Ke Kang's decree is to beheaded!" Facing Mrs. Zhang's crying, he sighed helplessly.

"But the emperor hasn't issued an order to marry Qinglan, can't you give it a try? You have worked diligently for the emperor for so many years, and you have always been loyal. The emperor will never say something like that to you." Can't you even listen?" Mrs. Zhang looked at him while wiping tears, which made him quite embarrassed.

"Hey, how come madam doesn't know the reason that being with a king is like being with a tiger?" Zhang Tingyu stroked his gray beard and sighed repeatedly.

"Just look at the emperor's face and mention it carefully. If there is really nothing you can do, then...then... woo woo woo..." She took Zhang Ruoai's hand and wept again, feeling her second son Good luck...

Zhang Tingyu was naturally relieved when he thought that he could give his wife and son a good explanation when he went back.He was not at all surprised that the emperor could take the initiative to mention such a weird idea to him, but he had heard from Tian Wenjing that the emperor had approved a paragraph of abnormality in Tian Wenjing's notebook, um, something that made the abnormality speechless.

That paragraph of Zhu Criticism is like this: "I am such a man! Such a temperament! Such an emperor! If you and other ministers do not fail me, I will never fail you. Encourage it!"

After Zhang Tingyu heard it, he didn't hold back at that time, and almost laughed out loud.Although the emperor was obviously angry when he wrote this Zhu Zhu, but as a bystander, Zhang Tingyu really wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

After Zhang Tingyu left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen sighed and went to the East Nuan Pavilion, where Yanhua was writing a small letter, and when she saw Yinzhen coming, she hurriedly folded the small letter she had just written.

"Chanchan, I made a bet with Zhang Tingyu just now." Seeing the small letter she was about to hide, Yinzhen snatched it from her hand and put it aside.

"What bet?"

"I made a bet with him, for a period of one year, from next month to July of the next year, if Zhang Ruoai is still dissatisfied with this marriage, then I will take it back, not referring to this marriage." just now Mr. Zhang Tingyu Tears abounded, crying until he rolled his eyes.He wanted to get angry, but when he thought that Zhang Tingyu was an old minister, an important minister who had served the late emperor, and was usually loyal, there was really no reason to cause them to quarrel with each other because of this matter.

He told Zhang Tingyu that Xiaoxiao is a princess, and marrying Zhang Ruoai is Zhang Ruoai's blessing and the Zhang family's blessing.But he is not a person who makes things difficult for others, since Zhang Ruoai is not willing, then he is not reluctant.

Zhang Tingyu said that Zhang Ruoai wanted to establish a career before starting a family, and also said that Zhang Ruoai wanted to establish a career through his own efforts. If he became a son-in-law, he would always get a lot of advantages from other officials, which would be against his original intention... No matter how Zhang Tingyu explained , How to apologize, Yinzhen can hear that Zhang Ruoai doesn't like to smile.

Yanhua was shocked: "How can the emperor ignore Xiaoxiao's marriage?"

She always felt that there was something wrong, and after careful consideration, she realized that Yinzhen's words only depended on whether Zhang Ruoai had an opinion on the marriage, but did not care whether Xiaoxiao had an opinion.

"Doesn't Xiaoxiao like her? If you don't like her, you won't make the decision and send Zhang Ruoai back in person..." Yinzhen told him everything Zhang Tingyu told him. At first, Zhang Tingyu used this Starting with the incident, he thanked the little princess for her kindness. He never dared to say anything bad about the little princess from the beginning to the end.

"I just asked you to discuss this matter. I must win this bet." Yinzhen pouted, and suddenly became a little childish.

Yan Hua rolled his eyes at him: "Why does this concubine think that the emperor treats Xiaoxiao's marriage as a joke? The emperor only thinks about betting with Mr. Zhang, so it's hard to ask Xiaoxiao what's on his mind."

"If I win, she will be able to marry the person she likes. Wouldn't everyone be happy?" Yinzhen rolled his eyes and pouted again.

"How does the concubine feel..."

"Hey, don't think about those useless things. Just stare and smile more, so that she can read well. The Zhang family boy is a scholar, and he is very arrogant in his bones. He must be dissatisfied because he doesn't read much. Yes. Xiaoxiao looks good and has a good temper, but there is only ink in her stomach, which is too dry."

"What's wrong with her temper? You're the only one who will give her money. Zhen Lang don't want to spoil her. It's not good to be spoiled."

"I think she has a very good temper." Yinzhen nodded seriously, simply not pretentious, kind-hearted, and she could see through her thoughts from her eyes, exactly the same as Yanhua when she was young, but bold It's just a little bit, very good.As long as he doesn't cause too much trouble, he can forgive.

Yanhua gave him a helpless look: "I just need to stare at Xiaoxiao and read?"

"Tomorrow, I will issue an order to let Zhang Ruoai walk in Shang's study." Yinzhen nodded, smiling cunningly like a fox.As he spoke, he unfolded the little note that Yanhua had just written, and read those touching love words in front of her...

Although Yinzhen made a bet with Zhang Tingyu, he agreed with Zhang Tingyu that the bet can only be limited to the two of them, and Zhang Ruoai and Xiaoxiao must not be told.So after Zhang Tingyu went back, he just told Zhang Ruoai in a good mood that the marriage was annulled, and the emperor would not marry the two of them for the time being.

Before Zhang Ruoai could be happy, she couldn't help frowning when she heard the emperor's order the next day.

Everyone knows that only Xiaoxiao, the little princess, used to go to study in Shang's study room, while Hongli and Hongzhou only go there occasionally.So, why let him walk with Shang's study?Not to walk in the name of the master!Is it just to teach the little princess to paint in the past?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to resist the order, so he entered the palace that day.He thinks that there is a saying that is most appropriate for the relationship between him and Xiaoxiao, and that is-it's not that enemies don't get together.

The first day he walked into Shang's study, he was splashed with ink all over.The reason was that Xiaoxiao didn't paint according to the painting method he taught, so he patiently corrected him over and over again, but Xiaoxiao got angry and poured all the ink researched from the inkstone on his official robe in a fit of anger!It's also a beautiful name, his official robes are too simple and elegant, so she drew him a casual and freehand painting with her own hands!

"You don't have to thank me, I just did it with a little effort. If you want to treasure this robe, you can just treasure it and get a new one."

Her words were so irritating, Zhang Ruoai had no choice but to hold back the anger in her heart because of her status.

At the end of the day, he has endured a stomach full of anger!

When the time came, Xiaoxiao hurriedly left Shangshufang to go out to learn how to ride a horse, but was told that she no longer needed to ride a horse in the future.She thought that Yinzhen was angry because she ran outside the Imperial Academy to look at Zhang Ruoai without authorization, so she had to swallow her dissatisfaction, and obediently went back to Shang's study.

"Go back to the emperor, go back to the imperial concubine, the princess has learned today... The princess accidentally spilled ink on Zhang Zhixiu's robe, Zhang Zhixiu seems not very happy..." An eunuch working in the Shangshufang laughed As soon as he finished school with a smile, he secretly ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to report.He knew in his heart that Xiaoxiao was a princess, so his dissatisfaction helped Xiaoxiao.In fact, it was obvious that Xiaoxiao splashed the ink on purpose, so there was no carelessness.

"Tsk tsk, no, no, won't it make you look at each other and hate each other if you go on like this?" After the little eunuch retreated, Yinzhen looked at Yanhua worriedly.

"Your majesty is really worried about this bet. It's not yet July, and the work of these ten days has been profitable."

"Chanchan is right, you don't have to work hard these few days, so you can think about how to make that kid from the Zhang family like Xiaoxiao." Yinzhen couldn't help agreeing, and hurriedly walked to Yanhua and hugged her joyfully.

"I can think about this for a while, but Zhen Lang wants to promise me one thing, okay?" Yan Hua rolled her eyes, remembering the imperial physician's advice.The imperial physician said that Yinzhen worked hard all the year round, and if he continued like this, his body would collapse.Of course, this was what the imperial physician Jiang Yu told her. Jiang Yu had reminded Yinzhen many times, but he ignored it, so Jiang Yu had no choice but to ask Su Peisheng to pass the words on to Concubine Xi.

Yinzhen frowned exaggeratedly: "I can't favor others in the future? I have to let Chanchan come to bed?"
