With the help of Xichang, Rong and the tiger became even more powerful, and soon established contact with the Changlu businessman, and found out his origin by the way.As he expected, this person is indeed related by marriage to Zuo Chun whom Qin Taiyue asked him to recommend.

He ordered Wei Yan and others to monitor secretly, and only sent Lin Sheng to continue to contact the businessman, and the bank notes obtained from the transaction were sealed up, and each transaction was recorded in detail.As for the recommendation of Zuo Chun, Qin Taiyue didn't mention it anymore because he said he was sick and recuperating.

At this time, from the cabinet to all the officials in the capital, no one cared about the newly established Xichang.Because Shen Hui set up this institution in the inner court, with Rong and the admiral, everyone took it for granted that it was specially set up to facilitate the centralized management and procurement of many matters in the inner court.

But how could he have imagined that this would be a spy agency affiliated to the emperor, not to mention that the group of degraded guards would be recruited into it. As Shen Hui said, the time has not yet come, and everything can only be carried out in the dark.

As for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, what they are most concerned about right now is nothing more than the upcoming wedding of the emperor and empress.

On the tenth day of June in the second year of Tianshou, the emperor offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, Taimiao, and Fengxian Hall, and set up a festival table in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the south. Displaying the horses, welcoming the Queen Qin into the palace, and setting up a ceremony.

A series of complicated rituals were all completed, and it was not until the third quarter of the unitary hour that the emperor and empress met each other and sat in the Qianqing Palace to perform the wedding ceremony.

In the evening, a banquet is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The banquet tables for Qin Taiyue and the princes are set on the east and west sides of the emperor's throne. On the top of the throne are the seats for princes and guards of the second rank and above. There are hundreds of official seats, and the west head is used to entertain foreign envoys.

After the feast, the emperor and empress returned to the inner court to clean up the palace.At this moment, the people in the whole palace, including Rong and He, have finished their busy work, and they can relax for a night.

Tolerance and sympathy, knowing that the emperor's wedding supervisor is the hardest, so he specially prepared his own money, and asked the dining room to cook a table of good wine and food to comfort the young supervisors and imperial courts, which can be regarded as another wedding banquet.

But when Chuanxi and the others invited him to go, he said that he had been busy all day long, and that his wound had faintly flared up, and he wanted to go back to rest earlier.After Chuanxi listened, he gave him a rather meaningful look, said nothing, and walked away with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Rong Yu wasn't lying, after a day of tossing around, he was indeed exhausted, and since he had just recovered from his injury, it was inevitable that he felt exhausted.Back in the room, the tense nerves have not been relaxed for a while, but it is difficult to fall asleep, so I have to turn over and sit up again, and find a book to read under the lamp.

When Fantine pushed the door and entered, seeing that he was still at his desk, she couldn't help teasing, "I always work so hard, it's a pity not to take the No. [-] exam."

Rong Yu raised his head and smiled, "I'm just relying on words to hypnotize me." Seeing that her face was also tired, he asked with a smile, "Why didn't you rest and came to look for me again?"

Fantine looked mysterious, and deliberately lowered her voice, "Where can I sleep, there is a big new article in the Qianqing Palace, and I don't know how to make it through tomorrow morning, so I can't get by."

Rong Yu immediately frowned, motioning for her to continue talking.

Fantine beamed and said, "Everything went smoothly at first, but when it's time to eat the cakes of children and grandchildren, it is logical to take a bite. Mrs. Quanfu asks if she will give birth, and the mother will give birth and it will be over. No one knows. What's wrong, the dumpling stuffing is already cooked. What's more, our Queen's master, who is so honest, blurted out that it was not raw..."

It is indeed a bit unlucky to say these words during a big wedding.Rong Yuzi didn't believe this, but felt that Qin Ruozhen's first reaction was too quick, and he couldn't even cover it up.

"After finishing speaking, the empress also regretted it a little. How could she say that she would not give birth in front of the whole hall and the emperor at this moment of great joy. She was about to cry. Fortunately, Mrs. Xiangguo reacted quickly and said In other words, the empress said that she is not familiar with her. This answer is also interesting. I have been a Quanfu person for these years, and this is the first time I have heard it. It can be seen that the empress is different from ordinary people. This means that we will understand it. That’s how things got round.”

Rong Yu imagined the scene at that time, and only asked, "What about the emperor, how does the emperor react?"

"Of course I'm not very happy, but you know, Long Live Lord has always been happy and angry, outsiders can't easily see it, but when I saw him shaking the hand hidden in his sleeve, I guessed that he was still dissatisfied. It's no wonder, men, how can you still be happy when you hear your newlyweds say that you can't have children."

Rong Yu nodded silently, not knowing whether he was comforting Fantine or herself, "It's not necessarily true that the emperor is open-minded and doesn't care about little things. The bride is inevitably nervous when she gets married, so it's okay to say something wrong."

"I don't think it's because she was nervous and said something wrong, but rather because she was angry. We checked the stuffing when it was served, and it was indeed overcooked. If it was fully cooked, it wouldn't be too late. Who taught her to catch it..." Fantine shook her head and sighed, "In my opinion, I'm probably the one who got angry first! I'm afraid I'll think about it tomorrow, and I'll have to pay for this man who has to pay for a few imperial kitchens."

This is something to say later, tolerance and nature also want to get it, people who do things are careless, and it is difficult to be punished.It's just for one dumpling, ruining a few lives, such a thing, it's better to avoid it with him.

"Forget it, even if it's a small episode, it won't affect the day of great joy. Your empress might care about it that much."

"You don't really understand women..." Fantine laughed, "Women are the easiest to think too much, and fear is the best thing to do. She thought it was the emperor's order, and since then she has doubts. "

Rong Yu thought about this, and thought that unless Qin Ruozhen also noticed that Shen Hui was dissatisfied with Qin Taiyue, he would have doubts in his heart.However, the possibility is unlikely. So far, Shen Hui has not made any moves, and he can be said to be very graceful to Qin Taiyue. Qin Ruozhen is so focused on Shen Hui that he will not be aware of the problem. However, he took the opportunity to rectify the inner palace. It is very possible.

He was thinking about how to deal with it, but Fantine saw that he was silent, but her thinking was wrong, because just now she said a sentence and didn't understand women, and thinking about it now, she felt that it was a big slip of the tongue, as if on purpose Remind others that they are servants.

Fantine waved her hand at him, "I didn't mean that, I...I mean you are still young, you can't think of such a thing between husband and wife..."

She stopped talking, and realized that she was getting darker and darker. She stood there staring blankly, completely at a loss.

It's rare for Rong Yu to see her flustered, he only thought it was amused, and after a while he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you have always treated me like a younger brother, if I have any more thoughts, I will become someone." Seeing her relaxed expression, Then he jokingly said, "You said it as if you understood husband and wife very well. I heard that the former emperor pointed out Sun Ji, the commander of the Twelve Regiment's training camp, for you. Has the date been set?"

Fantine blushed, and stared at him coquettishly, "All of you are looking forward to my marriage, Long Live God even drove me out of the palace, and the previous son let the Qin Tianjian forget it, saying that I will marry you at the beginning of next month. Five is a good day." Seeing Rong Yu's smiling face, she felt even more ashamed and panicked, "When I go out, I will see who is as good as you in the future, and I will tell you everything. You, just Take little Ah Sheng, let's live together as a partner."

Seeing that her face was blushing, it was hard to tease her anymore, Rong Yu suppressed her smile, and said sincerely, "You are one year older than me, and the emperor loves you so he hopes you have a home soon. You are about to leave the cabinet, I I don’t know what to give. If there is something missing somewhere, just tell me, and I will definitely find it for you.”

Fantine lowered her eyebrows and pursed her lips with a smile, "Whether you want to come now, you don't want those things that others can honor you. Since you are my younger brother, you should make something for your sister yourself? In short, I don't care. The time depends on your heart." After speaking, she blushed, turned her head and ran out.

The room became quiet, and Rong Yu felt less sleepy, thinking that tomorrow he would act first, rushing to detain and discipline the person in charge of meals first.This kind of matter can be big or small, depending on the mood of the nobles, or it can be done by killing chickens to warn monkeys. If it is serious, you have to find an excuse to answer it correctly.

The next day, as expected, the court ended, and Mingxia, the grand maid of the Kunning Palace, came to him and said politely, "The Empress, please take a palm seal, and I have something to explain."

The Kunning Palace had been vacant before, but now it was decorated very richly in order to welcome the empress.When Rong Yu entered the palace, it was the first time he met the queen, and he had to make a big salute, so he knelt down and kowtowed like a ceremony.

Qin Ruozhen is more graceful than before. She used to have a very pure appearance, but now she looks a little charming with the colorful golden hairpin.

"Get up, you are the one who serves the emperor, you have always been the most sacred, you don't have to kneel before the emperor, let alone here in this palace." She smiled at Yan Yan, and she seemed to be in a good mood, " Before the big wedding, I also saw you often, so there is no need to be born like this, I am a stranger to the inner court, and you are an old man, and I need more help from you to be serious."

Rong Yu didn't dare, and stood on the spot with his hands down, listening to her instructions.

"Let's just say that the imperial dining room should be taken care of by the Shangshan supervisor. You must have heard about what happened last night. The servants are careless, and they don't care about small things. I ask myself if I can keep an open eye." Close one eye, but the mistake is on the descendants, it is about the emperor's heir, how will this palace deal with it? In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Rong Yu bowed his body and responded, "My lady, calm down, this matter should naturally be dealt with seriously. After I heard about it, I first detained and guarded the people who handled yesterday's meals in the imperial dining room, and ordered the Punishment Department to give [-] heavy punishments to each person. room, send Luo to work as an errand in the Clothes Bureau.”

Qin Ruozhen frowned when she heard that, "Why, why didn't you try the first instance?"

"I thought it was unnecessary. It was said that last night's eight-treasure sweet soup was left cold. The emperor took a spoonful of it. Although he didn't have an attack on the spot, he put it down casually. Now everyone in the palace agrees that the reason for punishing the imperial dining room is because of this." , then according to my humble opinion, the palace people will soon forget about this matter." After a pause, seeing that she seemed to be enlightened, Rong Yu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes even more, "I have sent all the people present here this morning. People go to tell you how to act and how to keep silent. The ladies are all understanding people and can't say a word wrong. Since the imperial dining room made a mistake in serving the emperor, it should have been severely punished, but because of the joy of the empress's wedding, Zhaixin is kind and considerate, so he specially ordered the minister to be punished lightly, and the minister will handle it according to the order of the empress, and dare not act in the slightest disobedience."

Qin Ruozhen could understand the meaning inside and outside the words. If this matter was publicized, everyone in the palace would know the reason, and would inevitably laugh at her secretly, so it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, let alone kill someone.This kind of treatment did save her face, and relieved her grievances.

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes sideways, and looked at the person standing below. She had a thin figure and looked refined, with clear and clean eyebrows and eyes, with a natural elegance. The corners of her mouth were the most interesting, slightly raised. Just right, like a warm and sincere smile, there is a sense of humility in that smile, which makes people feel close.

She is a very reliable person, and it's rare that she can think so thoughtfully, answer and act without revealing anything, so that she can't make mistakes.If he really has an exquisite heart, no wonder Shen Hui trusts him the most.

Qin Ruozhen smiled happily, "You are indeed meticulous and thoughtful in handling errands and seniors. You don't need to say more, you have already thought about it first. It can be seen that serving the emperor on a daily basis is really clever and clever, which is different from ordinary courtiers."

Rong Yu bowed slightly, and smiled lightly, "It's the Lord Long Live who can take care of people, but I'm just being cautious in my errands, and I dare not accept my mother's ridiculous praise."

Not arrogant or impetuous, calm and calm, which makes people feel better.Originally, she deliberately found fault with an excuse, thinking that it would be good to spend a few slaves to show her prestige. If he dared to reject it, it would not matter if he was fined together. In the end, she was just a shameless slave. I can't live with him and myself.

But she didn't expect that after listening to some words, she already felt quite reasonable.The so-called popular mouth makes money, and when the news spreads later, it is his own face that is swept away.Instead of making a big fuss, it's better to follow his method to make a big problem smaller.

It can be seen that father's usual words can't be fully believed. Since Lin Rongyu is Shen Hui's first-class confidant, he simply rewarded him with some face, wouldn't it be more convenient to use him in the future.

Qin Ruozhen nodded with a smile, and turned her head to signal Mingxia to hold out a sheshi warm inkstone, "I know that you are good at Danqing, the first time I summoned you today is to order you to do an errand, and I have worked hard on you. This inkstone is a meeting gift, and I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future." Apart from the emperor, remember that this palace also needs your help to take care of the inner court."

Rong Yumang took it with both hands, thanked her respectfully, and heard her ask a few words about Shen Hui's daily routine, and only after he had finished dealing with it did he leave.

Lin Shenghou was waiting outside, and because of the long time, he was already waiting anxiously, "Your Majesty didn't say anything harsh, did you? May I deal with it according to your wishes?"

Rong Yu nodded, and told him, "Send a message to the Punishment Division. At this time of great joy in the whole palace, no one should be killed. Let them handle it carefully. When the limelight is over, the palace maid should be released." If you let them out, the servants will be sent far away to other places, and you will never be allowed to come to the inner palace and Yuqian again."

In this way, although the future is cut off, those few lives may be saved, he thinks to himself right now, he can only do this for the sake of it.
