Pet official

Every time he stepped into the gate of Likun Palace, Song Yan would inevitably feel upset. Even after he became an adult, he could hide his emotions well, but he would inevitably feel sad for his mother's bias.

Now, however, the mood is completely different.Because of one person, Song Bin's mood in coming to Likun Palace was completely changed.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Likun Palace, Song Yan became impatient. He quickly walked through the main hall and came to the door of the bedroom. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waits in the Nuan Pavilion first, and after the empress has combed her hair, she will come out to see you."

Song Yi bowed his head and listened, and nodded to the maid, who blessed her body, and then retreated to the bedroom.

A little eunuch came to lead the way and led Song Ren to the Nuan Pavilion on the west side of the sleeping hall.He bowed and went out, after a short while, Ruan Yunqing came in to serve tea.

Now as long as Ruan Yunqing is on duty and serves tea to Song Ren, he must do it.

Song Ruan watched Ruan Yunqing come in, with his head lowered all the way, holding a vermilion lacquer tray in front of his chest, on which was placed a tureen of colorful flowers and birds.

There was no one else in the room, Ruan Yunqing still didn't dare to be presumptuous, he put down the tea tray politely, put the gaiwan in front of Song Bin, bowed and saluted, and then wanted to back out.

Song Ru looked at him with a smile, "Wait."

Ruan Yunqing hurriedly stopped, bowed and said, "What else do you want Your Highness to order?"

Song Bin thought for a while, and there was no order, it was just that he hadn't seen him for a few hours, and he missed him a little in his heart, and wanted to see him for a while.

Lifting the lid of the bowl, a scent of tea came rushing towards his face. Song Ru took a look and saw that the soup in the bowl was green in color and had a pleasant aroma. It was his favorite jasper silver needle.

Unknowingly there was a smile on his face, and Song Ru couldn't help but be overjoyed.

When this tea was in Duanhua Palace last time, he casually mentioned it to Ruan Yunqing, but Ruan Yunqing remembered it in his heart just that one time.Knowing that Song Ruan liked it, whenever he came to Likun Palace, as long as Ruan Yunqing was on duty, he would make a bowl for Song Ruan himself.

Song Ru's taste is light, and he doesn't like to steep tea for too long. He is also very picky. He only drinks the tea soup for the second time, at most until the third time. My heart must be awkward.

"Have you finished reading the book I gave you the day before yesterday?"

"One more article."

"Oh, which one is it?"

Ruan Yunqing raised his head and saw that Song Ren asked seriously, so he also answered seriously: "It's the last article about harming the country and disordering the government."

Song Ren took the bowl lid and decanted the tea leaves, and took a sip.He put down the tea bowl, and asked carefully: "Disaster for the country and disorder of government, come and listen."

It has always been like this recently, Song Ru never shy away from getting close to Ruan Yunqing in public, everyone in Likun Palace, and even Empress Wei knew that Song Ru liked this mature and prudent little eunuch very much.

Song Ren always likes to ask about his homework like this, and occasionally when he gets excited, he and Ruan Yunqing will debate the political situation in the warm pavilion.

When Ruan Yunqing saw Song Ren asking him, she had no choice but to put down the tea tray and replied: "It is said in the Yuhua Ji that throughout the ages, there are no more than six kinds of people who have harmed the country and disrupted the government."

Song Yuan nodded, motioning for Ruan Yunqing to go on.

"These six are foreign relatives, cliques, barbarians, female favorites, foreign towns and..."

Ruan Yunqing stopped, he bit his lips, and sighed softly: "He Xie vertical."

It is not uncommon for eunuchs to harm the country.Their identities are special, and their relationship with the royal family is too close. Some of them even control the deployment of the Imperial Army and the right to draft edicts and approve memorials on behalf of the emperor Zhu. , If you want to take the opportunity to force the palace, or tamper with the emperor's intentions when drafting an imperial edict, no one can prevent it.

The same is true in the imperial court. Take the eunuch who was expelled by Emperor Hongyou to the imperial mausoleum a few days ago as an example. Liu Tong's memorial to suppress Shu's cronies was privately refuted, and Emperor Hongyou never saw it.

If there was Lord Daoming, they would not dare to be so presumptuous.However, Emperor Hongyou liked to linger in the harem and often ignored government affairs, so it was no wonder that these people would collude to take advantage of loopholes.

Ruan Yunqing bowed his head and said nothing, but Song Ru laughed.

"Why are you silent?" Song Bin laughed and sighed, "When will your thoughts stop being so serious, and your temper will no longer be so boring."

What does eunuch's disaster to the country have to do with Ruan Yunqing?Song Fu smiled and looked at Ruan Yunqing who was standing aside, not to mention that he was not such a foolish emperor as Emperor Hongyou, even if he was, as long as it was what Ruan Yunqing wanted, he would probably give it to him without hesitation.

This thought flashed by, and Song Ru was also taken aback. Since when did he pamper the child in front of him so much?

This is not a good thing.

Song Ren rubbed his forehead, shook his head and sighed softly: He valued Ruan Yunqing so much in his heart, which meant that his original defenses of iron and steel had finally cracked, and Ruan Yunqing had truly become the softest in his hard heart. where.

If someone with a heart finds out, Ruan Yunqing will become his only weakness.

Song Ren's mind was turning a thousand times, and he had clearly analyzed all kinds of interests.This is really not a good thing, if someone takes advantage of her, not only will she be injured, but even Ruan Yunqing's life may be threatened.

Melancholy came to mind, and Song Ru quickly dispelled it.Asking himself, deep down in his heart, he was extremely happy for the arrival of Ruan Yunqing, a weakling.That being the case, he must be fully prepared, he will never let anyone hurt Ruan Yunqing.

"The so-called disastrous state and political chaos are nothing more than those in power giving these people an opportunity. Foreign relatives, cronies, and barbarians can all be prevented in advance. As for female favors, it is even more ridiculous. A dynasty where men ruled, the country collapsed So, let the women in the harem take the responsibility. I think these people are just using this as an excuse to erase their sins of greed for life, fear of death, and lust for beauty."

Song Bin stood up and patted Ruan Yunqing on the shoulder, "Yunqing, you are pure in nature and dare to fight. You are diligent and studious, and you have a heart of benevolence. It is just an idle book, what is written on it, take a look That's all, why do you have to feel sorry for yourself. I trust you very much, and you will definitely become my most powerful arm in the future. "

What Song Ru said made Ruan Yunqing feel ashamed.

When he read this passage, he was afraid that Song Ru would misunderstand him just as it was written in the book.In the Yuhua Collection, the eunuch's harm to the country was struck very hard, not only the words were sharp, but also the views were too arbitrary, and the examples given were inevitably biased.

Ruan Yunqing knew that his status was low, and he knew very well how the world treated eunuchs.It doesn't matter what others think of him, what Ruan Yunqing fears most is that Song Ru thinks the same way.

Feeling uneasy, after a few days, he still hasn't finished reading the last article.The more I look at it, the more discouraged I become. Obviously, among the eunuchs, there are also Gu Yuanwu, an upright and capable minister who dares to advise, why the world is always influenced by those bad influences, and when the eunuchs are mentioned, there is nothing good to say.

Things hurt their kind, regardless of whether they are related or not, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

Ruan Yunqing pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "I am not as open-minded as Your Highness, and His Highness will laugh at a book like this."

Song Ru couldn't help but laugh.

Open-minded?When was he open-minded?If it wasn't for Ruan Yunqing, he wouldn't be able to hold back and talk so much.

Without saying a word, Zheng Changchun walked in.He stared at Ruan Yunqing first, then saluted Song Ren, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Madam asked this old servant to invite you over."

Song Ru suppressed his smile, stood up, rearranged his clothes, and walked to the common room with Zheng Changchun.

Ruan Yunqing hastily cleaned up the tea trays and bowls on the table, and followed her to serve.

Empress Wei had just got up, wearing only a homely dress, the color of the dress was plain, and the tailoring was very simple, with a straight skirt and a short jacket with slanted breasts, without any patterns or ornaments on it.There are only two jade hairpins in her hair, and only a pearl earring on her ears. She has a clear face with no fat or rice on it. From a distance, she looks very clean and cold.

A little court lady lifted the curtain long ago, Song Ren stepped in, came to the soft couch where Empress Wei was reclining, and made a big salute, "I send my respects to the empress."

Empress Wei gave Zheng Changchun a helping hand, and asked Zheng Changchun to quickly help Song Ren up, "Quickly. I've said it several times, why should you be so polite between mother and child? They always kneel and stand up every time. I don't know who came up with it." This is a tossing etiquette."

Song Ju still performed the full salute, "I dare not be presumptuous."

After the ceremony, Empress Wei asked the maids to move an embroidered pier, next to the soft couch she was sitting on, for Song Ren to sit on.

Song Ren told him to sit down, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he just tilted his body and sat sideways on the embroidered pier.

Empress Wei asked Ruan Yunqing to bring tea and fruit, "Go and bring the fruit that came in yesterday for the prince to taste. There are also the fragrant slices I often drink, and I will also make a bowl for the prince."

Ruan Yunqing hurriedly agreed, and went out to give instructions, and the little eunuchs went down to make arrangements.In a short time, all the preparations were completed, and they were presented to Ruan Yunqing, and the rest returned to their original positions.

Ruan Yunqing came in with tea fruits in her hands, first placed a lotus-leaf-bottomed, lotus-shaped teacup in front of Empress Wei, and then picked three out of more than a dozen thin white bone china dishes, and placed them next to the teacup one by one.

Empress Wei glanced at the three snacks on the table, then at Ruan Yunqing, smiled and said to Song Ru: "No wonder you like him. This child is so careful and thoughtful at such a young age, it's a pity that he has only been here for a few days. I can remember what I like to eat, and every time I serve tea, the fruit can be placed in front of me in a good way."

It was inconvenient for Song Ju to say more, so he just smiled and said, "What mother said is true."

The mother and son chatted a few gossips, and Empress Wei asked Song Ju how he was, and the poison on his body was clean.

"Thank you for your mother's concern. The real culprit who poisoned him has already committed suicide. The poison found in his house has been handed over to Imperial Physician Ning. He has thought of several ways to remove the poison. I have tried it and it is quite obvious. effect."

Empress Wei paused when she heard the words "poisoner and real murderer", her complexion changed slightly, her fingertips trembled a few times, the teacup in her hand also shook, the tea spilled out and wet her palms.

Empress Wei was startled suddenly, she hurriedly covered her emotions, put down the teacup in her hand, took the handkerchief Zheng Changchun handed over, and wiped it back and forth on her hands a few times.

After a pause for a while, Empress Wei sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that the person who poisoned came from my palace. It's because my palace is not strict, and the emperor has suffered."
