The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 363 The Concubine Helps the Emperor Take a Bath

Yingyun had some impression of the Haining county magistrate mentioned in Wushun's mouth. His name was Wang Haide. He still remembered that during the first southern tour, he accompanied the local magistrate, governor, governor and others to pick him up. The building of embankments.

After ten years, he is still serving as the magistrate of the county, and he has not been promoted, which is a bit strange.

Yingyun asked: "They say the county magistrate is a corrupt official, do they have evidence?"

Wu Shun shook his head and said: "It's all empty talk, I don't know if it can be trusted. The servant kept his mind on it. When he came back, he went to see the magistrate's mansion. There was no expansion in violation of the regulations, but it was a little more decent than ordinary houses. The servant I think the refugees were affected by the disaster, and they vented their anger on the magistrate."

Yingyun asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wu Shun said: "The magistrate's reputation has always been good. Before the river embankment collapsed, the people did not have such complaints. On the contrary, everyone in the city said that the magistrate was clean and honest. A coarse sackcloth can be worn for five or six years, and the daily food is also good. Qingshui Tofu doesn't go to brothels and red houses, so if you say he is greedy for money and money, it really doesn't seem like it."

Yingyun was a little puzzled, and murmured to herself: "Since he is so clean and honest, he should be an upright official. Why hasn't he been promoted for so many years?"

Wu Shun is also not very clear.

"Okay, you go down first." Yingyun saw that he was disheveled, as if he came out of the refugee pile.

Anai took the opportunity to tease him, pinched his nose and said, "Your Majesty thinks you smell bad, why don't you go and wash it off quickly."

Wu Shun leaned on his sleeve and smelled it. It was indeed a sour smell. He smiled embarrassedly, and quickly stepped back: "Hey."

After nightfall, it began to rain lightly. The local officials worried that the rain would wash away the dams or be dangerous, so they begged the emperor to wait for the rain to stop before inspecting the river construction.

So that night, the emperor went back to the corner garden early to rest.

A bucket of warm bath water was prepared in the room. Li Yu and others were serving the emperor to take a bath when Yingyun suddenly barged in.

The emperor was startled, still submerged in the water, and asked vigilantly, "Empress, what are you doing here?"

Yingyun waved to Li Yu and the others, ordering them to back out, then walked to the tub with a smile, and said, "This concubine is here to help the emperor take a bath."

The emperor reached out for a bath towel, covered his body, and was about to get up, but Yingyun pushed him into the bucket again.

Yingyun raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you spend a little time soaking."

The emperor was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly rosy from the hot air, he looked at her with fixed eyebrows, and said: "The empress really wants to take a bath for me?"

Yingyun smiled and nodded, moved a stool to sit beside the tub, raised his arm, rubbed it lightly, and asked, "How is it? Is the strength okay?"

It was rare for the emperor to see her so gentle, so he relaxed his guard, stretched out his other arm, and said, "That's great, and this one..."

The emperor enjoyed it very much, and asked again leisurely: "By the way, I heard that today the empress went to the porridge shed outside the city to investigate the people's conditions. What was the result?"

Yingyun said: "The concubine is about to tell you about this, Your Majesty, do you think the county magistrate of Haining is competent? The concubine heard that the people have different opinions on him, some say he is clean, and some say he Corrupt."

The emperor said: "Wang Haide has been the magistrate of the county for more than ten years, and his political performance has always been good. He is on the list of promotions every year in the evaluation of the Ministry of officials. However, he invited himself to stay in Haining, saying that he was determined to build river embankments. He also halved his salary and used it to benefit the common people, he is a rare parent official."
