[Comprehensive + Sword III] Qing Ben Jiaren

Although Ling Xia agreed to live in the palace, she couldn't live in it directly, otherwise she really couldn't explain how this person came out.

Zhu Youtang helped her choose an identity, saying that she would live in the palace as the daughter of a man named Zhang Luan.Needless to say, this mountain must belong to a trustworthy minister in the imperial court.It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but... the corners of Ling Xia's mouth twitched when he heard it, and he instantly understood what was going on in this guy's stomach.

Look at this appearance, does it look like a courtier who was sent to the palace as a concubine.

Throughout the ages, many imperial concubines were the daughters of courtiers' families, and they were sent in like this.When Ling Xia was queen, there were people who wanted to give it to Zhu Youtang, but they failed in the end.This person surnamed Zhu really has bad intentions, even her identity has been properly arranged for her, just wait for her to become a concubine directly in the future!

Ling Xia glanced at Zhu Youtang and thought, this guy doesn't think she doesn't understand these things, does he?

Zhu Youtang had an upright look on his face, as if it was a matter of benefit.No matter how you look at it, it really looks like that, but in fact...

Everyone is so familiar, can you still hide it from me?

This guy's usual trick is to tease you lightly while pushing you into his own range.Before you know it, you will be locked up like this.The more Ling Xia looked at it, the more she felt that the two were too similar, and she couldn't help being in a trance.Zhu Youtang's face was broken, and he asked very "honestly", "Miss, do you have any objections to this arrangement?"

"Have."

Ling Xia said: "I'm not a flying fairy, and I need to re-arrange my identity. My name is Xue Bing, and I'm from Shenzhen Villa. You can say that you invited me into the palace to embroider something."

Zhu Youtang: "..."

That's how it ended.

Ling Xia sneaked out of the palace that night, and was called back to the palace the next day, and was given a place to stay.Except for the four people who have been hiding in the dark room to protect the emperor, no one knows what happened in the imperial study tonight, and no one knows that Ling Xia has already gone to the palace for a day trip.

Lu Xiaofeng, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was stunned when he heard the news.

"How is it possible!" He said with a dry smile, "Only Xue Bing... Xue Bing, who can't even hold a needle, went to the palace to embroider? Don't be kidding!"

Shangguan Danfeng (also known as Shangguan Feiyan) sneered and said: "You know it again."

Lu Xiaofeng fell silent for a moment.

Before, he thought that he knew Xue Bing well enough, but he didn't expect that what he knew might only be the tip of the iceberg, such as the universe in his sleeve. Not only had he never seen it before, he had never even heard Xue Bing mention it.And this time... since the other party dared to enter the palace to embroider things for the emperor, maybe he really knew how to embroider?

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly let out a long sigh, and looked a little lonely.

Shangguan Feiyan was both relieved and depressed when she saw it. The relief was that no matter if she was around Xue Bing that day when the surname was Lu, it finally got her retribution today, and she will be ignored one day!The most depressing thing is that the person who abused Lu Xiaofeng turned out to be Xue Bing, and she didn't like Xue Bing even more, on the contrary, she hated him very much.

Ling Xia, who was far away in the palace, didn't know this at all. She was living comfortably in the palace, eating well and wearing good clothes.

Cloth, clothes, pearls and jades bestowed by the emperor almost filled the whole room.All the maids who were assigned to serve Ling Xia looked festive and extremely happy.Only when the master is favored can they get along better.It's just... "Girl, why don't you take a look, the pearls are really fine."

Ling Xia has never seen anything good, so she really doesn't think there is anything rare.

Seeing that Ling Xia didn't dare to be interested, but she wasn't angry because they spoke casually, the maid could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To say that the women in this arena are indeed much easier to serve than those ladies from all over the world.No airs, small rules, and cheerful people.Several palace maids looked at each other, feeling a little happy in their hearts.If there is such a master in the palace, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Every night, Zhu Youtang would come over to talk and have dinner together.

"You don't need to send so many things here, and you won't need them," Ling Xia said.

Zhu Youtang said: "I don't have a concubine. These things are usually given to the courtiers' backyards. Now it's good to give them to you. It's not better to have more. Your girls have always liked these things."

"And give more things so that those people won't underestimate you, and you can live comfortably in the palace."

Ling Xia: "..."

Those people don't dare to underestimate her now, they are almost treating her as their future empress.

This statement was not false at all, not to mention those court ladies and eunuchs, even the two big inner guards who were sent to protect her were discussing in a low voice.

Just watch what you say, she will be a concubine in a few days, have you ever seen such a grandiose person who enters the palace to do work.

"Not to mention the number of maids and eunuchs serving, but just talking about the emperor, these days, the emperor almost runs here whenever he is free, and always eats dinner together."

"The harem on the left and right is too empty. It would be nice to have one more empress, Your Majesty..."

Ling Xia raised her head and said, "Qiu Lan."

"Miss." Qiulan immediately stepped forward and said crisply, "Miss, do you have any orders?"

Ling Xia said: "Go get some pens and paper, send them to the two guards, and tell them to write and communicate. I want to rest for a while, they are really... a little noisy."

Qiulan responded, then found a pen and paper, sent it over, and then conveyed the original words.

Two Ouchi guards: "..."

The two of them looked at each other in shock.

They are all Ouchi bodyguards, their own kung fu is naturally not weak, they still can't hear the movement over there in this position, and Ling Xia...the two thought to themselves, just now they were already very quiet, close to whispers, how could they still be heard?

Could it be that they lied to us?

But even so, they didn't dare to gossip anymore, and they all behaved terribly.

A few days later, Ling Xia had already sneaked into the imperial study room, and set up an extra chair there, sitting there bored in a daze.Of course, all of this is after nightfall.Zhu Youtang trusts her and is willing to let her come, but it does not mean that the ministers outside will not object, so everything is still very low-key.

On this day, Zhu Youtang suddenly said: "Wang An...retired and returned home."

But it turned out that after checking the facts, Zhu Youtang asked someone to set up a bureau because of the nature of the matter and it was difficult to deal with it.It just so happened that Wang An was fond of both gambling and whoring, so it was quite normal for him to lose his pants.In the end, Wang An's leg was broken by a 'thug', and he could no longer serve people in the palace, so he went straight to his old age and returned home.

Ling Xia thought in her heart that she had the heart of disobedience and was suspected of treason. This ending is already considered very good.

Zhu Youtang sighed softly: "After all, he has been with me for more than ten years, really..."

Zhu Youtang is kind, generous, and soft-hearted, which Ling Xia has known for a long time.Wang An served him for many years, and the matter was discovered in advance, and it was not easy to deal with it, so it is not surprising that the other party's life was not wanted.With left and right legs broken and not in the palace, Wang An couldn't do much anymore.

In fact, the most difficult thing to deal with is Nan Wang's side.

Just as Ling Xia had expected before, after learning that his son had been arrested and taken to Beijing, Nanwang immediately wrote a letter to report the funeral, saying that his son died of a serious illness, and even held a big funeral.Even if Ling Xia didn't turn Nan Wang Shizi into water, the other party would definitely deny and call for grievances if he was pulled out at this time, let alone now.

"There will always be a way." Ling Xia said casually.

Zhu Youtang smiled slightly when he heard the words, and always felt that in front of Ling Xia, it seemed that nothing in the world was difficult.She has a relaxed demeanor and a casual tone, and even makes people around her feel that this is not a big deal, and it is not difficult to do.

He put down the memorial in his hand, flipped to the next one, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This Jin Jiuling is really..." Zhu Youtang paused, as if he didn't know how to describe it. After a while, he said, "Wherever he goes, there are cases."

Ling Xia raised her eyes, leaned over with some interest, lay on the side very naturally, and saw the content above with Zhu Youtang's hand, and then she was taken aback.

"Wait, bring it here and let me take a closer look." Ling Xia said.

The memorial was handed over by Jin Jiuling. It is said that he went to a certain place on business, and then happened to encounter a big case.That big case was just a group of beggars fighting for money and fighting.The reason why it is called a major case is because this time, more than one person was killed.

After Jin Jiuling knew about it, he immediately sent people to take all the rest into prison, and all the money was confiscated.

A total of 1 taels.

This is not a small amount of money, ordinary people may not be able to earn this amount in their lifetime.

Not to mention that there are a lot of beggars here, it is perfectly normal for them to work hard for money.According to the booklet, someone reported the crime, and when they arrived, the group of beggars had already died, leaving only a dozen or so.Even these dozen or so were wounded, and they all died within a few days of being arrested.

After Jin Jiuling finished handling the matter, he brought back all the silver and put it into the treasury.

"It's really a lot worse." Ling Xia couldn't help it anymore, "They're all dead, not one left? It's not as much as Jin Jiuling said."

Zhu Youtang was startled, and said, "You suspect that Jin Jiuling is corrupt? Then you are thinking too much!"

"It's not suspicion, it's true." Ling Xia said.

No matter how good Jin Jiuling's reputation is outside, how much the emperor in front of him trusts him, but this matter... Ling Xia recalled it, and said: "First of all, in terms of characters, there were 130 people present at the beginning that day, and then there was a little boy. I left first, and there are 130 people left."

Zhu Youtang looked at the memorial, and the number of Jin Jiuling reported on it was 120 people.

"Secondly..."

Ling Xia turned around, sat back on the chair again, and lazily said: "The amount of silver is too much, at least five times less."

Five times 1, that's not a small amount.

It's just the case...

"How do you know?" Zhu Youtang couldn't help asking.

Of course Ling Xia knew.

Because, "I was the one who gave the money to the beggars at the time." 500 taels per person, she remembered it clearly, and there was no mistake.
