Twilight GL

Chapter 86

A female official came out from the greenhouse with two maids.

The hands of the two maids are holding a pot of flowers, which is a first-grade peony newly planted in the flower house.

The gardener who cultivated it named this peony "Crown Gai Man Jing Hua".

It was only cultivated in the past two days, and I have not had time to report it in the future. Unexpectedly, His Majesty happened to pass by the flower house this morning. When he saw this peony, he stopped and looked at it, and asked with interest: "I have never seen this peony before." I’ve seen it before, but it’s a new breed?”

The female officer didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Return to His Majesty, that's right."

His Majesty waved his hand and ordered someone to lift up the flowerpot, and she took a closer look.

The female officer bowed and stood by the side, fearing that His Majesty would not like it, she boldly raised her eyes quietly, but saw that there was something novel about His Majesty, but she did not appreciate it.

The female officer only glanced at it, then lowered her head hurriedly and respectfully, and sighed in her heart, it's a pity, if His Majesty likes it, maybe he will give generously to the conservatory.

"Since it is a new product that has never been seen before..." His Majesty opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, and his tone was tinged with a faint smile, "I will send two pots to the Ciming Hall. Your Majesty may like it."

The female officer hurriedly agreed, and His Majesty walked away.She has an elegant figure and a pleasant gait, which made the female officer look fascinated, and felt that His Majesty was completely different from what she had imagined.

If one ignores the majesty of His Majesty Ninety-Five, he would appear to be a gentle scholar.

The female official didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly ordered two pots of peonies that bloomed the best, looked at them carefully several times, and cut the branches before sending them out.

At this time, it was on the way to the Hall of Compassion.

There are many scenes in the harem, with verdant vegetation, and many paths are hidden behind the vegetation, looming, which is quite wild.

It's just that this wild interest was deliberately piled up by people. It was thrilling to hear that His Majesty passed through many such wild trails when he was in exile.

Now that I think about it, I feel nostalgic, so people built these trails hidden in the jungle in the palace to imitate the appearance of Jiangnan.

This is easy, other emperors are interested in building palaces and grand sights when they come, but their majesty is actually building paths in the palace.

I thought that His Majesty had been indifferent for these years, but finally couldn't help but want the minister to put the high-level Xin An back to its original place, and build a few paths, but it didn't cost much.

Not only does it cost no money, but the construction period is also short. In less than a month, that place was completed according to the drawings drawn by His Majesty himself.

Several princes and county kings, who had gained face in front of His Majesty, rushed to flatter His Majesty, begged His Majesty for grace, and brought their concubines to watch the scenery. After watching it for a while, they were full of praise. .

In order to hurry, the female officer took this path.She is from Jiangnan. When she was young, there was a shortage in her home and she was sold into the palace by her parents. She still remembers Jiangnan.

Walking on the road right now, she didn't see that the scene was unique, exquisite and elegant, but the hometown in her memory was exactly the same.

It's just that she absolutely dare not say these words out of her mouth, she just keeps turning them around in her heart.

As they walked along the long path, they suddenly heard voices coming from behind a thick clump of trees.

The female officer stopped, and the speaker got closer and closer, until she stopped behind the bush, presumably the speaker was standing beside the tree.

Perhaps because of this, the place was quiet and deserted, and they didn't suppress a single sound.

"I heard that Your Majesty had a rift with some of the ministers yesterday?" It was the voice of a palace lady.

"Yeah, I was sweeping outside the Chuigong Hall, and when I saw those adults coming out of it, I sighed. Zhong Shuling was fine, but an old man with white hair and white beard was trembling with anger, saying that the old man lived more than half of his life." In my life, I have never heard of such absurd thing! Zhong Shuling reprimanded him..."

It was an eunuch who spoke, his voice was soft, as if he was holding his throat, he paused for a moment, and under the urging of the maid who was with him, Fang continued with a bit of complacency: "The order of Zhongshu reprimanded him. Did you say it out loud? The old man shook his sleeves heavily, and then remained silent."

When the female officials hear this, they know it's not good. This is not something that palace people like them can know.

She hurriedly winked at the two little maids behind her, and the little maids understood, and the three of them walked away cautiously.

After walking a long distance, one of the maids let out a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously: "Auntie, what they are talking about is about His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, did the ministers dissatisfy?"

When the female officer heard the words, she immediately reprimanded: "This is not something you and I can talk about!"

Gong'e also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Auntie, I was wrong, I dare not."

Seeing her like this, the female officer also calmed down, and said in a gentle voice: "Do you think there is anyone in the palace who dares to discuss this matter except those two? You must be cautious in your words and deeds."

Gong Elian claimed that it was.

The female officer sighed, and His Majesty did not hide it. Over the years, the palace people have naturally seen some of His Majesty getting along with the Empress Dowager, but who dares to discuss it?She thought of those two just now, and knew that they were probably in danger.

She guessed right, not long after they left, His Highness Ninth Prince Mingshen happened to pass by that place, he has already entered school and knows a lot of truths.

On weekdays, after school, this path is his favorite, not because he wants to please His Majesty like those clan relatives, but because he really likes the rustic charm of these trails, which are different from those he has seen elsewhere.

Walking that way, I naturally heard the discussion between the eunuch and Gong'e.

Mingshen's face sank, and he waved back. Four servants followed behind him. Seeing that he had an order, the head servant stepped forward. This was the personal servant chosen by His Majesty several years ago. It is loyal and diligent.

"Take these two people down, and then you go to the Chui Gong Hall and tell Xuan Guo about it, he knows how to deal with it." Ming Shen ordered in a low voice.

The servant raised his sleeve and said, "Yes..."

The two of them didn't know that the catastrophe was imminent, they were getting together and talking with gusto.

This eunuch and Gong'e are from the same township, they have known each other for a long time, and they have some affection for each other. The eunuch has a flamboyant temperament, and he likes to speak rudely in front of his sweetheart, talking about the affairs of the imperial court, not only to show off, but also to show his ability .

Mingshen frowned when he heard that, and called the servant again, and said in a cold voice: "Take it down and gag his mouth first!"

When the waiter was near, Fang took the people there, thinking, the most important rule in the palace is to keep one's mouth shut. If His Majesty dares to leak and spread the things in front of him, I'm afraid we won't see this man in the palace in the future. Two people.

When the three female officials arrived at the Ciming Hall, the Empress Dowager was talking to the palace servants who were close to her. Seeing them entering the hall and seeing the flowers in their hands, she smiled and stood up and said, "This is what Your Majesty said. peony."

The female officer hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The queen mother please enjoy the flowers."

The Empress Dowager said: "Excuse me..." Slowly paced forward.

This is the first time for a female official to meet the Queen Mother. When the rumors about the Queen Mother and His Majesty were spread in the palace a few years ago, although she dared not talk about it with others, she couldn't help but wondered in her heart what kind of woman could make His Majesty willingly give up her reputation don't want.

Seductive and flamboyant, elegant and talented, or weak and helpless, she has thought about all of them.

But before she guessed the reason, it was like a gust of cold wind swept through the palace, everyone was silent like a cicada, and no one dared to talk about it.

She was originally obsessed with flowers, seeing this situation, she didn't pay any attention to it, and devoted herself to the flowers in the garden.

Now I finally got to see her, but it was an accident, the empress dowager didn't seem to be what she thought.

She looks beautiful, behaves dignifiedly, and walks in front of the flowers with great poise.

They all looked at each other, a little smile appeared on their faces, they nodded and said, "Let's just put it in this hall."

The tone is gentle, but not warm, and it is impossible to tell whether she likes the flower or not.

The empress dowager's temperament is a little cold, and I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with her.The female official thought inwardly that she became more respectful, and ordered Gong'e to put the flowers down where they were.

She heard the Empress Dowager say again: "It's such a hot weather, you have had a hard time walking, go and drink an iced drink before leaving."

As soon as she said that, the female official found that she was covered with sweat, she quickly thanked her, and led Gong'e out.

As soon as they arrived outside the hall, a maid from the Hall of Compassion ordered them to be led to a cool place under the porch, and brought up three bowls of refreshing mung bean soup.

Not long after, another eunuch came and said to her: "The empress dowager ordered that it is not easy for you to cultivate peonies, and each of the upper and lower greenhouses will be given a monthly salary."

The female officer was busy saluting, the eunuch who delivered the speech said with a smile: "It's hot weather, don't kneel down, just give a blessing."

If he dared to say this, he would have been ordered by the Queen Mother.

The female officer thought again, the Empress Dowager is a bit cold-tempered, but she is very kind and considerate, she suddenly remembered her Majesty whom she met in the morning, and somehow felt that the two were actually a good match.

As soon as the female officer left, Ming Shen arrived.

He is nine years old this year. His Majesty just made him the King of Jin at the beginning of the year, and he also built a mansion outside the palace.

But he prefers to stay in the palace, to be beside the Empress Dowager, and to listen to her teachings.

At this time, when he arrived at the Ciming Hall, he didn't mention what he had just met just now. After saluting, he stayed by Zheng Mi's side and said nothing: "This day is going to kill my son, why don't you give me a cup of sweet soup?" ?”

It's already ready, so there's no need for him to say, the palace man has already gone down to serve it.

Zheng Mi chatted with him casually, asking him how he has been studying recently, and how is the teacher teaching well?

Mingshen answered them one by one, and when he saw the two potted flowers in the hall, he knew where they came from without having to think too deeply.

When he was young, he broke through the secret of His Majesty's intimacy with the Queen Mother, but he didn't know it at that time.

Now he gradually understands that there are clan disciples in the palace school, and he occasionally heard people discussing that the behavior of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager corrupted human relations and violated the norms.

Ming Shen almost grew up under the arrogance of the Empress Dowager. Hearing this, he was naturally very angry. He remembered the name of the clan, and then took advantage of him and kicked him out of the palace school.

He has been in school for these years, and he has been taught by his teacher, so he naturally knows what is human relations and what is common.

But he also saw His Majesty and Queen Mother from time to time, saw them smile at each other, saw them caring for each other, and saw them bickering over trivial matters, and in the end one of them always bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

There's nothing sensational about it, it's all just getting along with ordinary people.

But it is so common, but it makes Mingsu feel that the principles of human relations are not as good as sincerity.

"Is this flower sent by His Majesty?" Ming Shen held the jade cup and drank it slowly, still unwilling to be idle, and raised his head to ask Zheng Mi.

Zheng Mi patted his head, but smiled and said nothing.

Mingshen remembered what he had heard in the palace school in the morning, thought about it, and decided to tell the queen.

"Yesterday, an old censor contradicted His Majesty. His Majesty got angry and reprimanded him in front of all the ministers. Today, he took his official position away. Right now, he is being locked up in the prison of Dali Temple."

Mingshen spoke clearly and explained the matter clearly in a few words.

He didn't complain, but felt that His Majesty would feel uncomfortable about such a thing, and she probably wouldn't tell the Queen Mother, how lonely it is to be alone.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, his mother's expression froze, but soon she smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Lunch is also prepared, you should use more, and you have to listen to the teacher's lecture in the afternoon. "

Ming Shen nodded sensiblely.

When Zheng Mi arrived at the Chui Gong Hall, it was the time when the sun was at its strongest.

Xuan Guo was waiting outside the hall, seeing her coming, he hurriedly saluted, and was about to report when Zheng Mi waved his hand, "I'll go in by myself."

Ming Su had already ordered to serve the Empress Dowager just like serving her, Xuan Guo dared not stop him, so he respectfully replied: "Yes..."

There was ice in the hall, which made it much cooler than the outside, Zheng Mi pushed the door open, and saw Ming Su with his eyes closed.

She didn't sit on the throne, but sat on the steps in front of the throne, without any padding, sitting on the floor, her long legs stretched out, her eyes closed, listening to a servant next to her read.

The waiter was concentrating on reading, when he saw the Empress Dowager from the corner of the eye, she was startled, the Queen Mother shook her hand at him, the waiter hurriedly stabilized his voice, and continued to read.

Zheng Mi walked up to Ming Su, bent over slowly, and pinched her nose.

Mingsu opened his eyes suddenly, seeing her, his eyes lit up, and he said with a soft smile, "Why are you here?"

Zheng Mi let go, sat beside her, and looked at her carefully.

Mingsu reached out to cover her eyes: "Don't look at it."

There was a little shyness in her voice.

Zheng Mi couldn't help smiling.

Mingsu has become more and more majestic as an emperor. She supported her clan, but she didn't rely too much on it. She only made them balance the court. Later, she used many scholars to firmly control the world. Now no one among the ministers dares to go against her mind.

Even if the ministers guessed about their affairs, no one dared to tell them face to face. They were only afraid that one day His Majesty would announce it to the world, and then they would not be able to pretend to be confused.

But right now, the most daring minister can only dare to insinuate admonishment like the old censor yesterday, in order to maintain a balance with the emperor.

However, even so, it made Mingsu furious, and today he sent the censor Duoguan to prison.

So it seems that she, the emperor, is very domineering and self-willed.

But as long as this matter is not mentioned, she usually respects the minister very much.

Looking at it, Zheng Mi felt that in the past few years, Mingsu has become more and more like her youthful appearance, gentle and quiet, good at reading, good at studying, and a peaceful person.

"Is the peony beautiful?" Mingsu asked again.

Zheng Mi muttered vaguely, "Peony..."

Mingsu knew what she meant, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't think it looks good either, it's just a novelty, so I asked them to send it to you to have a look."

Zheng Mi's eyes were stained with a smile, she knew it was so.
