The Treacherous Concubine’s Guide To Whitewashing

Gu Yi followed Yuan Luo into the inner hall.

"Niang Niang's move is too much..." Gu Yi endured it, and then swallowed the nonsense. Before, he clearly accompanied the emperor to attend the banquet in full dress, so why did he have to change into this appearance and mix in.

"My palace is also helpless. I have summoned a few new scholars before, and they were clumsy in answering questions, so I came in today to see if there is any talent available."

Gu Yi wakes up, I'm afraid that it's taken by this person's peerless appearance, coupled with the authority of life and death, if a young man is uncertain, it is difficult to remain calm in front of her.

Gu Yi bowed his head and said, "Since Niangniang is fine, the minister has retired."

"Wait." Yuan Luo stopped his turning and leaving.

Since the assassin incident, Gu Yi has been avoiding her. Seeing her shadow, I can't wait to take a detour. It's rare to see people, of course you can't let go so easily.

Gu Yi stood in front of her, staring crampedly at her toes.

This guy seems to be stuck in the conjecture of causing his own miscarriage and cannot get out.

That being the case, as he wished.

Yuan Luoyin smiled sympathetically: "How do you make up for this miserable cause?"

Gu Yi immediately said: "Niangniang, but there is punishment, she can do everything."

"Oh, since you caused me to lose a child, how about paying me a child?"

Gu Yi first showed a dull expression. After a while, his face turned red all of a sudden, he took three steps back, full of resistance, and roared:

"Please respect yourself!"

Yuan Luo was stunned. What she said just now was just a test. After all, Si Konglin couldn't live without an heir. She was preparing to change days after two years, pretending to be pregnant, and then adopting a baby from the clan. The assistance of foreign ministers is indispensable for the intermediate operation, so try Gu Yi.

but……

Boy, where did you think of it?

Seeing Gu Yi showing a resisting and accusing face, he stared at her in disbelief.

Yuan Luo got up in a mischievous mood, folded the fan, approached him, and raised his chin, "Everyone in the world knows that this palace has never been self-respecting."

"you……"

"What you just said, just let it go, and you will regret it immediately, so back, but what a gentleman did?"

"I……"

Seeing Gu Yi getting more and more embarrassed, Jun's face flushed and almost exploded in place, Yuan Luo rarely showed compassion and put away his flirtatious expression.

"Fine, tease you, even if this palace...will not favor children in the future." Yuan Luo said with a smile.

Who is the kid now? Hearing such shocking words, Gu Yi's first thought turned out to be this, whether she or that person, why do they like to treat themselves as children?

Soon he came to his senses again, what the woman said, "Even in the future..."? She is a dignified concubine, she wouldn't really want to do anything extraordinary. During this period of time, I have had a lot of contact, and Gu Yi has discovered that the imperial concubine does not have the wandering corpse in the legend, I am afraid that the imperial concubine used to deliberately discredited...

Yuan Luo's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Did you receive the reward from this palace last time?"

"The minister has not yet thanked the empress for her reward." Gu Yi returned to his senses and said sincerely.

A few days ago, Yuan Luo rewarded him with a horse in the name of escort, the **** Jun is extremely good, it is Zuo Bingfan's gust of wind.

After Gu Yi received it, he naturally wouldn't hold it in his hands and returned the property to its original owner. Zuo Bingfan was overjoyed.

"Don't be too grateful. Anyway, that horse is not needed in the palace. It doesn't get along with Qishuang and often tears." Yuan Luo shrugged. She originally wanted to use the wind and Qishuang to pull the carriage together. It was black and white. Ah, is there an ancient Ferrari?

It's a pity that Haifeng is too temperamental, and she likes to harass Hushuang. Her Hushuang is still a young mare, so how can she be coveted by such a grumpy dude. Yuan Luo decisively returned the goods.

As Gu Yi listened, it suddenly occurred to him that the gust of wind had returned to the old master these days, and he had been listless, even after seeing the horse doctor. Zuo Bingfan was too anxious, very much suspected of being abused in the palace. According to this statement, Haifeng shouldn't be in heat.

The several horse doctors I have seen are what Shen Dongliu said.

Yuan Luo was surprised: "Your teacher still knows horse medicine?"

"Shen Tanhua has learned a lot, and has learned a lot. The two young children in the family have benefited a lot from him a few days ago." Gu Yi is very sure of Shen Dongliu's academic level, but it is a pity that he will no longer be a high school explorer. Mr. Teacher.

"My palace just wants to see him, go and invite your tutor in quietly." Yuan Luo ordered.

She came in in micro-services, and the main target was Shen Dongliu. At present, the government and the public are staring at this year's new jinshi, especially for the few low-ranking students, the noble family is extremely defensive, and there is a vague momentum of joint suppression. So Yuan Luo wanted to touch it secretly.

Gu Yi responded and was about to go out, suddenly her heart trembled.

How did the imperial concubine know that Shen Dongliu was a teacher in his house?

Yuan Luo also reacted quickly and coughed under the guise, and added: "Shen Dongliu is also considered a deceased in this palace. He is very insightful in water treatment, and he is also a person to use in this palace. It alarmed others and brought them over quietly."

Gu Yi awakened that the senior high school Tanhua was a poor student, and the imperial concubine must have sent Jin Linsi to investigate Shen Dongliu's experience during this period. A complex emotion floated slightly in his heart.

He bowed his head in response, turned and went out. Not long after, Shen Dongliu was "escorted" in.

***

Yuan Luo has restored his imperial concubine's dress style. The maidservant is surrounded by her, sitting in the hall, looking at him coldly: "Is Shen Tanhua a scourge in this palace?"

Shen Dongliu bowed his head, bowed to his knees, and saluted, "I dare not go under the authority."

Yuan Luo didn't want to waste time, and went straight to the subject: "The palace is looking for you to ask about one thing, the additional questions at the end of the previous exam, but you have done it yourself. I think the article is still incomplete. I think there must be other opinions."

Shen Dongliu cheered up and finally determined that the imperial concubine was not looking for him for fun, but for business.

Speaking of river management, his spirit came to him in an instant: "Return to the imperial concubine, the water management is a multitude of things. It is indeed not a few pages of paper that can explain it. As far as the minister knows, the river management is divided into at least three parts. The previous repairs and maintenance, dredging and dredging in floods, and..."

Yuan Luo listened to him talk and showed joy.

Standing in the hall, Gu Yi couldn't help but fall on her.

After resuming women's clothing, Yuan Luo didn't dress up as usual, but only wore a light blue palace dress. The peony pattern intertwined with silver threads gleamed in the sun. That stunning face was not covered with powder, which was better than before. Two points less charming, three points more elegant.

The posture of Xian Xian resting on the backrest, however, he couldn't help but remember that a few years ago, the second brother got a pot of peony, what is it called Luminous White, under the moonlight at night, it will glow with white light, which is so beautiful. For a moment, the light of the woman in front of her overlapped with the peony blooming in her memory.

There is still a difference between the two. The days of that person by his side are more like fresh and elegant night scent, without such a radiant and compelling light, but with a more pervasive warmth and sweetness...

"...Actually, these are not what the minister saw. Many of them refer to the collection of books in the home. They are mainly left by an uncle of a distant house in the family. When he was a boy, he used to go upstream along the Huanghe River to learn and read thousands of books. Wanlilu. By the way, he was still the top pick in Xianning for six years, and he was highly valued by the first emperor, but unfortunately he encountered robbers on his way back to Beijing..." Speaking of later, Shen Dongliu was faintly sad.

Yuan Luo was startled.

Shen Hanzhi, the six-year champion of Xianning.

This person, Yuan Luo had noticed when looking through the imperial examination materials. He had outstanding merits and was an all-rounder. At the age of seventeen, he was the champion in high school. At the beginning, he was thrown to Luozhou in southern Xinjiang. Within three years, he would just be barren. The land of the land was thriving, and then he was transferred to treat the river. This kind of drudgery was just like his work. After ten years in Xianning, he was transferred to the capital government office. He found the case like a god, and he was aware of the details. However, he offended several families for this. They joined hands and found a mistake. They were transferred to Beijing. They encountered robbers on the way back and were killed at a young age. .

Emperor Xianning was furious about this, and sent a secretary to investigate the case, but the result was nothing.

This person turned out to be Shen Dongliu's uncle.

Thinking that Shen Dongliu's attitude was similar to that of Lian Yanqiu Ruoyouruuowu, Yuan Luo suddenly had a strange idea.

***

Leaving Qujiangchi, returned to Zichen Palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I was stunned. The figure I was thinking about just now was standing on the steps in front of the hall, teasing a white-feathered red-billed parrot under the gallery. The parrot had a fruit in it, and cried out strangely: "Thank you, Admiral!" "One more!" "

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lian Yanqiu turned around, saluted calmly, and smiled: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time, the beauty is still, it is comforting." The warm sun shines through the window screens, reflecting his grace and grace, like a painting. people.

Yuan Luo smiled, "The admiral walked northward, but he was a little haggard. I want to come back on this difficult and dangerous trip, and I am very lucky to come back safely."

Even after Yanqiu left for more than half a year, he did lose weight. It must be because the days in the north were too busy. He not only presides over the peace talks on the open side, but also instigates secret spies in secret, and at the same time half-covered Yuan Luo's business of redeeming the people in northern Xinjiang. There are so many things, and only this person is capable and considerate.

She has read the memorial report sent back a few days ago. More than 40,000 people have been redeemed from various tribes, all of whom have been sent back to their hometowns for resettlement and assigned their land. These 40,000 people spent more than 800,000 taels of silver for Yuan Luo.

There are about 30,000 to 40,000 people in the follow-up, waiting for the money here to be ready for the next move.

"The two armies are fighting, and Bei Rong didn't intend to tear his face..." Lian Yanqiu said with a smile, "It's not hard work to divide the worries for the king."

He also mentioned, "Because of the redemption of too many people, Bei Rong gradually has the meaning of raising the price. I originally thought that the treasury is now empty, and I have no way of sustaining it, but I did not expect that the Empress's workshop produced such a thing. ."

Lian Yanqiu fed the last fruit to the croaking parrot, and then raised the small dish and placed it in front of his eyes. The translucent and gorgeous colors reflected the bright light in the sun.

The small dish is only the size of a palm, but it is extremely delicate.

Since it was put on the market a month ago, it has quickly become a sought-after object for the noble family. Yuan Luo set this gadget at the price of luxury goods, and deliberately divided it into three high, middle and low grades. There are many middle and low grades. One piece is not tens of two to hundreds of taels, and the highest quality high-end products. Only three or five pieces come out every month. They may be teapot decorations or cups and saucers. The value is thousands to tens of thousands taels, and the supply exceeds demand.

In order to make up a set, the honorable family specially went to bribe merchants in Huangzhuang.

Caused such a big sensation, of course, Queen Wei's previous show off at the banquet was indispensable, which drew a lot of jealousy from women inside and outside.

It is not only in Tianyu who pursued this thing, it seems that the Hushang had seen it, but it was also a treasure, willing the poor to go bankrupt in exchange for gems and other things, saying that it would be very profitable to bring it back to China. The dazzling colors of cloisonne are indeed more in line with the aesthetic style of the Western Regions.

Yuan Luo's heart was dark in praise of Lian Yanqiu, and she pretended to be indifferent and honest: "It's nothing more than a little bit of caring skills. These gold and iron objects can be exchanged for the well-being of the people in northern Xinjiang, and it is worth it."

Lian Yanqiu laughed and said nothing. The two entered the inner hall one after another.

Yuan Luo asked, "Didn't it mean you can return yesterday?"

"I wasted a day in the newly opened library in Niang Niang, Anzhen, Chengbei~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I was fascinated and forgot the time..."

Listening to this person telling me about his achievements, it really feels quite fulfilling. Especially Lian Yanqiu stared at her with a smile. "The minister has only left for half a year, and the empress has so many surprises. It really makes the minister regret it. I went north and missed so many wonderful things."

"Ahem, the admiral is overwhelmed."

"It’s not a honourable minister. Today, I read the books in the library. Many of them are secret books in the palace or from major families. Now they are copied and stored in the library for people to read at will. Those families who cherish themselves donated books."

To do well, you must first sharpen your tools. Before preparing the library, Yuan Luo worked hard to collect books from various sources. In addition to the extensive collections on the market, there are also the Palace Library and the private library of major families. Some have been collected. Yuan Luo is absolutely proud of the quality of books in the library.

In response to Lian Yanqiu's doubts, Yuan Luo smiled triumphantly, "It's just a trickery."

In fact, before sending someone to each library for copying, she explained that she would build an all-encompassing library. Every major family thought she was going to enrich the library collection in the palace, after all, the Chongwen Museum was hit by a fire before, which destroyed many isolated books. So they reluctantly agreed.

After that, the imperial concubine built an unprecedented library, but this library is not a secret collection in the palace, but is open to students all over the world. Many aristocratic families can't swallow a mouthful of old blood spit out in their chests.

Yuan Luo only felt dark and cool.

The more top-level articles and classics are, the more they have to be made into an isolated copy to highlight their preciousness. What kind of spirit is this? Sick spirit! ! !

Think about how many ancient cultures and crafts have been cut off from the inheritance of thousands of years, because of this abnormal and bad habits. There is also the backward concept of portals. If you pass on to men or not to women, you must be brought into the coffin when you die. Yuan Luo hated this idea!

Treasure yourself! A broom can only be used to sweep one house, but if you lend it to others and teach others, you can make thousands of brooms and sweep thousands of houses...

"The mother's heart is broader than the minister imagined." Lian Yanqiu smiled.

The way he laughed, especially the light in his eyes, was even more beautiful. From this perspective, it really looks a bit like Shen Dongliu.

Yuan Luo only felt that the soul of gossip was burning. I was thinking how to open my mouth,

Lian Yanqiu spoke first, and asked calmly: "The empress is in Qujiangchi today, did you disrespect Major General Gu?"

The topic changed sharply, Yuan Luo coughed violently without taking a sip of tea.

Lian Yanqiu walked behind her and patted it unhurriedly: "Mom, calm down?"

Don't say such outrageous things if you want to calm down! ! ! Yuan Luo looked up at him. This guy has an indifferent expression, don't you think what you just said was too much? Forget it, before he suggested that he should hide Shen Dongliu's Golden House.

Yuan Luo looked away, "This is just a private matter of this palace, you don't have to remember."

"The minister is not interested in this personal matter of the Niang Niang, but it is related to the inheritance of the society, and the minister has to ask a few more questions. Please forgive the Niang Niang for the violation."

Yuan Luo was startled. Lian Yanqiu continued.

"The emperor's age is getting older, and it is impossible to say that he has no heirs. In the future, the empress can choose a happy person and give birth to heirs, so as to stabilize the savages."

After speaking, he smiled, "Major General Gu is a very suitable choice."

Yuan Luo's mouth twitched slightly. Hey, didn't you feel very dissatisfied with my approach to Gu Yi a while ago, and you said that some dogs can bite people. Why has it become "a very suitable choice" now? This is to slap your own face. It is still said that Gu Yi's personality is so charming, even this old and cunning guy is impressed.

It suddenly occurred to me that in the original book, it seemed that even Yanqiu really admired Gu Yi. In the first few years of meritorious deeds in Northern Xinjiang, the former concubine empress heard that it was Gu Liangyong’s remaining party and did not want to be promoted, so she had to insist on Yanqiu to have "Cai Yunheng". On the blue clouds of northern Xinjiang straight up...

Putting aside this distracting thought, Yuan Luo only felt awkward at Lian Yanqiu's words.

This guy really has no respect for the imperial power and the royal blood. Before Prime Minister Wei and Wei Xi, even if they had regarded the throne as tools, they were not as naked and naked as him.

He is a traverser, so he has this idea. He is a person of this era, he is also the confidant of Emperor Xianning, so confused the royal blood, don’t you think...

Wait, if Lian Yanqiu is really the former champion, as a talented talent, who learns to be rich, but is forced into the palace as a slave, hides his identity, and has that kind of loyalty to the royal family of Sikong?

Yuan Luo looked away, her expression still.

"The emperor is still young, the admiral need not be impatient."

Even Yanqiu didn't insist on this topic anymore. The two talked briefly about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, and soon left.

Looking at his back, Yuan Luo felt a faint shadow in her heart.

He knew everything about what happened to him and Gu Yi moments ago, just after returning to the palace.

The two are still very happy to work together, but as his power increases, if there are conflicts in the future, will he be willing to be only a supporter?

***

After going out, Lian Yanqiu returned to the attic where he lived.

The inside of the study was as clean and bright as before, and even the chessboard placed on the soft couch was still half of the previous endgame.

Cheng Wei came in to report the affairs of Jin Linsi who had been working for the past six months.

Lian Yanqiu sat down and twisted the round Moyu chess pieces. While listening to Cheng Wei's report, he occasionally raised a few questions, focusing on Yuan Luo's several New Deals.

After listening to the music, Lian Yanqiu smiled and asked, "What do you think about following the imperial concubine these days?"

"The imperial concubine is much better than before..." Cheng Wei thought again and again, using more conservative terms, but couldn't help but praised, "The big things are decisive, the small things are meticulous, calm in the face of chaos, and the big things are calm and handled extremely. Being insightful, he can often find another way and be unique."

Lian Yanqiu laughed. He was in the Tiange Pass and received the Jinlin Secretary's report every five days, and he knew everything about Yuan Luo's actions since he came to the court.

"It seems that the imperial concubine has really changed a lot in the past six months, and your attitude towards the imperial concubine has also changed." Although Cheng Wei is an eunuch, he is conceited and talented. He has a high temperament like a three-point scholar. He used to face the ruthless and domineering imperial concubine. Respect, but actually disagree.

Cheng Wei laughed dryly, "The empress also has a lot of things that have not changed, such as she still likes money so much. Also, she cares about Young Master Gu as always."

Speaking of this topic, Cheng Wei couldn't help asking: "Didn't the admiral always oppose the empress who is indulging in Gu Yi? Why do you suggest the empress today..."

"Juvenile sentiment is the most ardent. Who can stop it? Besides, the emperor must have a child after all."

Lian Yanqiu twisted the chess pieces in the board and said indifferently, "If a mother gives birth to a child, this child will be the heir in the future. In terms of blood, no future troubles should be left. Gu Yi is also suitable."

Cheng Wei felt cold, and instantly understood the meaning of Lian Yanqiu.

This is going to the father to keep the son. He said no more, bowed his head and retired.
