Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 466 Shengming
Mingyu rolled her eyes towards the ceiling.

Chu Yu was afraid that the concubine would be angry with the eldest wife, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, sister-in-law is like us. She wears maid skirts when giving porridge, but she just changed them back in the carriage."

The third wife said with a smile, "It's because you are smart enough to know that you are more sincere when you dress up as maidservants without showing off your beauty."

Ming concubine touches her nose at the side.

If she had known that Chu Yu had learned from her, the third wife would not have praised her so much, and she would have praised her.

Chu Yu and Chu Dai were a little embarrassed, but they didn't say anything.

Ming concubine sat down for a while, then left.

As soon as she left, Chu Yu said, "I heard that the emperor sent my father-in-law to secretly observe who is serving porridge in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. We have to go tomorrow."

The third wife looked at the eldest wife, "Does sister-in-law know about this?"

The eldest lady shook her head, "I didn't hear Concubine Sun Gui about this, but since the emperor is secretly observing, it must be a test of the courtiers' loyalty to the court, the emperor is indeed wise."

"It's just that since it was observed secretly, how did it spread?" the old lady questioned.

Chu Yu shook her head, "I don't know who spread the word, anyway, it spread like this. It seems that it came from Father Deshun's mouth. It must be true."

"Giving porridge is a good thing, and the emperor is secretly paying attention, so you go to give porridge every day. Later, I ordered the big kitchen to make more steamed buns. After all, we are also Zhennan Wangfu, and we must not be compared with others," Da said Mrs.

The third wife agreed.

That's how it was settled.

After returning to the house, Zhou's mother was afraid that those refugees would have some infectious diseases, so she prepared hot water for Ming to take a bath.

Mingyu didn't think it was that exaggerated, but Zhou's mother insisted, so she had to follow her.

Here, Ming concubine is taking a comfortable bath.

In the palace, Father Deshun was annoyed and complained to the emperor, "Your majesty, you have to trust the servant, the servant dare not falsely preach the imperial decree, saying that you let people observe secretly, and there is someone giving the porridge."

Eunuch Deshun knelt down and pleaded guilty to the emperor.

False preaching of the imperial decree is a death penalty, and he can't bear it.

The emperor was confused, "What's going on, get up and talk."

Eunuch Deshun got up and said, "I don't know who passed it on. It said that the emperor secretly sent people to observe who was giving out porridge at the gate of the city. They secretly recorded it. They said it was to test the loyalty of the courtiers. This word came from the mouth of the servant, when did the servant say this?"

The emperor frowned slightly, and said, "Who did something good and pressed it on you?"

Eunuch Deshun, "..."

"Your Majesty, are you not angry?" Eunuch Deshun asked in a low voice.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hands, and said with a smile, "Although there are not many refugees, there are also many people who want to give out porridge from the imperial court. Now that the word is spreading, a bunch of people are scrambling to give out porridge. There is nothing wrong with reducing the burden on the treasury. I didn’t say anything about this, so let’s take it as I said it, and you can go to the gate of the city tomorrow to have a look to prove that the rumor is true.”

Eunuch Deshun, "..."

He has served the emperor for so many years, and he has never seen a false imperial decree, and finally the emperor made the imperial decree true.

He had to find out who made the false decree, and he was so loyal, and he didn't want others to know, because he almost scared him out of his mind just now.

Just as Eunuch Deshun thought this way, he heard the emperor say, "Go find out who is so smart."

Eunuch Deshun quickly agreed.

The next day, Ming concubine and the others got into the carriage and went back to the palace after serving the porridge on their front feet, while Eunuch Deshun took the carriage to the outside of the city on the back foot.

Seeing many people giving porridge, those refugees ate steamed buns with porridge. Although they were embarrassed, they did not feel hungry, which was a little comforting.

Those who have been in the palace and met the emperor all recognize Mr. Deshun. When they saw him coming, they quickly went up to him and said, "Why did Mr. Deshun come to inspect outside the city in person?"

Of course the emperor ordered it.

However, Eunuch Deshun didn't say this, and only said, "The emperor asked our family to watch outside the city. Our family has never said this to the outside world. Why did it spread, and the emperor severely reprimanded me?" , who spread the word?"

Eunuch Deshun's face sank, and everyone's hearts trembled. After all, he was a celebrity around the emperor, and sometimes his words were as important as a first-rank official.

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

In the end, Ming concubine was stabbed out.

Mr. Deshun,

Why is it Zhennan Wang Shizifei?

However, it seemed like she could do it.

Eunuch Deshun stayed outside the city for a quarter of an hour, serving porridge himself, and then went into the palace to report to the emperor.

The emperor laughed out loud, "It's actually her."

Seeing the emperor was happy, Eunuch Deshun said with a smile, "The servant just arrived at the gate of the city, just when the Zhennan Prince's mansion left after serving porridge, and the Zhennan Prince and Concubine were also there. It is rare to see such a smart lady as the Zhennan Prince and Concubine in Beijing." In a few words, so many people scrambled to donate porridge. When the servants went, there were at least ten families who were giving porridge. This time, the floods did not need the treasury to distribute food. Stomach."

The emperor nodded and smiled, "Although the means are not glorious, but he has a kind heart and has the world in mind."

"Your majesty must reward the concubine well," Eunuch Deshun took the opportunity to ask for a reward for Ming concubine.

The emperor laughed and said, "It is necessary to reward her well, and send her two baskets of newly tributed fruits."

"Emperor Shengming."

Let me explain to you that she went back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but she leaked the mission of Deshun's father-in-law, and the news that Deshun's father-in-law went out of the palace to question him was sent back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Ming concubine, "..."

Chu Mochen, "..."

The two of you looked at me, and I looked at you, with black lines on their faces.

Is this a coincidence or a coincidence?

Not surprisingly, Concubine Ming was called to Changhui Courtyard to accept criticism.

The old lady frowned and said, "Don't you just know about it? Everyone knows why there is still trouble, and it will cause trouble for Mr. Deshun."

There is no one more innocent than Ming Concubine, she said, "I just casually said it to the servant girl, but I didn't expect it to be heard. I didn't even say anything about the palace. How could everyone know about the trouble?"

The eldest wife said, "Although you made a mistake unintentionally, in the eyes of outsiders, your mouth is too loose and you can't hide the secret."

Ming concubine blinked and said, "Although Ming concubine has offended Father-in-law Deshun, the news has spread and many people have benefited. Even the palace should not give porridge every day."

Don't blame her for getting cheap, it's not pleasing.

The eldest lady choked, and could not deny that what Ming Xi said was true.

The third wife said, "Even if it is not a bad thing, it will have a bad impact on the reputation of my Zhennan Palace. I am afraid that outsiders will say that our Zhennan Palace bought Deshun Eunuch, inquired about the emperor's every move, and donated porridge to disaster relief. It's a faux pas."

Then, everyone unanimously decided to punish the concubine for copying the house rules, as a warning to everyone else.

Ming concubine had nothing to say, she really didn't expect to get a picture of Deshun's father-in-law's horseshoe when she did a good deed.

If you copy the family rules, just copy the family rules, and if you can't copy them to death, it's like practicing calligraphy.

Just when Ming concubine was about to leave, the tribute fruit rewarded by the emperor arrived. It rained continuously and the road was difficult. It was not easy to send the tribute fruit to the palace, and it became more and more precious.

The faces of everyone in the room turned green.

The eldest lady asked about the impartiality of the message, "Isn't the emperor very angry?"

The little eunuch replied, "The emperor was very angry at first, but Eunuch Deshun said that the news spread, there were many people who helped the disaster, and the common people benefited. I just rewarded two frames of tribute fruit."

Ming concubine said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise."
