Chapter 210 Catch the person behind
Tang Yue nodded, buried his head low so that he did not dare to look up at her. He waited for Lu Sanbian to draft the imperial edict before presenting it to her.
Hua Chun glanced at him, reached out to take a pen to change some words, tried to pretend to be innocent with nothing, changed the date, and then handed it over to Lu Sanbian to copy it.
"I'll both of you, don't say you've seen this palace when you go out, just wait for so long in Zichen Palace." After thinking for a while, she said, "The imperial edict can be secretly given to the Ministry of Justice. If someone really asks about it, it's said that it was drafted by the emperor two days ago, and it's only now that I remember it and issue it."
With his eyes slightly brighter, Lu Sanchang nodded: "This is a great idea to avoid anyone thinking that the emperor was targeting the empress dowager, just saying that he had decided two days ago."
Tang Yue also expressed his approval. The two respectfully saluted Hua Chun and then retreated.
Hua Chun smiled and clapped her hands. On the surface, she suppressed the Queen Mother and Prince Xi's ideas, and secretly blocked the road. She didn't believe that Prince Xi could make a fortune.
The vassal kings arrived in Yanjing one after another, and Hua Chun's body seemed to be stable, so they often bounced around in brocade robes and cloaks. This time, Guipin Xu and Tang were both very proactive and rushed to help her with their work. Hua Chun didn't have to worry about safety issues at all. As long as one of them tampered with any tampering, the other person would definitely find and tell her as soon as possible.
So Hua Chun put aside his old grievances for the time being, used these two people as helpers, entertained princesses from all walks of life, arranged various palaces, and prepared meals and tea.
The emperor was also busy, and the two didn't meet for several days. Occasionally, they met on the road. Hua Chun bowed to him. Yuwen Jie reached out to help her, pinched her hand and stood on her back for a while, and then the two continued to go their separate ways.
Although she didn't say a word, the atmosphere was pretty good. Hua Chun secretly told herself that when Prince Xi's hurdle passed, she would think about other things. At least the emperor gave her so much wages, so she had to help the emperor do everything. As for the empress dowager, it would not be too late to settle the score.
"Prince." Zhan Shui frowned and said, "No one can lead troops into Beijing. The people are all caught by the guards at the gate of the city. The emperor looks very cautious."
Prince Xi snorted coldly: "Where is the emperor's caution? There is obviously someone else who does things behind it."
These days, the emperor has been busy meeting the vassal kings. He was caught by the empress dowager when he had a little free time and saw all the princesses. Where did he get the energy to deal with his secret actions? It was obvious that someone was helping him.
If this person is not eliminated, his great cause will be difficult.
"What should we do?" Zhan Shui frowned: "I can't find who that person is now."
"There is always a way." Prince Xi curled his lips: "Since he loves helping, let him help enough."
Zhan Shui was stunned and looked at his master in confusion, but saw his face full of confident smiles.
Zichen Palace.
The emperor looked at the missing notes on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly. The Qin Eunuch beside him whispered: "The Empress has been here in the afternoon."
It was only her that would help him sort out these things. Yuwen Jie pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Have she used dinner?"
"I'm using it, I'm resting." Eunuch Qin nodded: "The Empress is very tired these days, so the Emperor should reward you more."
The emperor was silent for a while and looked up at him seriously: "What do women like? I rewarded her with gold and silver jewelry. I didn't see anything she liked. The ornaments of rouge, water, powder ornaments seemed to be in line with her wishes."
Eunuch Qin opened his mouth wide and looked at him in shock.
The emperor actually asked such a question?
Yuwen Jie was also a little embarrassed, and his eyes showed an angry look: "You don't know, so forget it."
"...No, when you go back to the emperor, I feel that Concubine De is not an ordinary woman." After coming to his senses, Eunuch Qin hurriedly smiled: "If you want to make her happy, you can't use what ordinary people like."
"I'm not trying to make her happy, I'm just a reward." The emperor corrected with a stern face.
"Yes, I'm wrong." Coughing twice, Eunuch Qin said: "Since the Queen Mother and Gold, Silver, Jewelry, I should spend some time elsewhere. I feel that talented women will like flowers. Seeing that winter in this palace is depressing, why don't the Queen Mother send the Queen Mother and the fragrance of flowers all over the yard?"
It sounded very artistic. Yuwenjie pondered for a moment and felt that Eunuch Qin had a good idea, so he continued to give instructions.
During the preparation process of the palace servants, the news naturally leaked. Ruier, who had always loved to inquire, jumped into the Palace of Peaceful Hearts excitedly and stood behind Hua Chun and said, "My lady, don't be sad, there will be surprises waiting for you."
Hua Chun looked up at her weakly: "Surprise? What surprise?"
Ruier stuck out her tongue: "It's not a surprise to say this, you're just waiting."
Squinted slightly, Hua Chun pulled her over, looked at her coldly and said, "Speak straight, don't suck your appetite!"
Suddenly, Rui'er looked at Qingniao next to her innocently. Qingniao said helplessly: "The Empress is in a bad mood and can't stand teasing. You know what you should just say it."
"This..." Rui'er sighed and stood up honestly: "I also heard from the eunuch in Zichen Palace, saying that in order to please the Empress, the emperor wanted to send the Empress all over the yard of flowers."
Hua Chun raised her eyebrows. This is really the sun hitting the west. People like Yuwen Jie can even play romance. The fragrance of flowers in the yard... Are you going to plant flowers in a yard for her?
Thinking of this, a sweet feeling came to her heart. She curled her lips and whispered: "Not to say, that kind of slutty man who always has a stern face, suddenly this is quite pleasant."
Seeing that his master smiled, Rui'er breathed a sigh of relief and stood beside her and said, "Right? You should be more relieved when the emperor treats you so well."
Isn’t all those who work so hard these days helping the emperor to do things? It wouldn’t be a waste of time to have a response.
Hua Chun nodded and began to guess what flowers the emperor planted for her. In this winter, only plum blossoms can bloom even if they have a good meaning? There are many empty spaces in the flower bed outside her yard, so many trees can be planted!
I was looking forward to it, and at night, someone finally came from Zichen Palace.
As a result, instead of carrying the saplings, I brought a tray after another...sachet.
Qing Niu was stupid, Rui'er was stupid too. Hua Chun's mouth twitched and smelled the fragrance of wintersweet, staring at the red sachets embroidered with mandarin ducks on the tray: "Who are you going to send marriage to?"
Eunuch Qin's facial expressions are also very rich. He suggested that the emperor plant flower trees for Concubine De. The plum trees are very good. Just as a new batch of flowers are blooming in the palace. As long as you plant them directly in the soil, the fragrance of flowers can fill the entire Yangxin Palace.
As a result, in just one turn, the emperor ordered people to pick all the flowers from the tree, and it took three hours to make these large batches of sachets.
He was very devastated inside. Looking at the emperor's serious expression, he couldn't ask him why, so he could only bite the bullet and deliver it to Concubine De.
"Empress, this is not a marriage gift." I had the idea of kneeling and returning! Eunuch Qin smiled awkwardly: "The emperor thinks the fragrance of wintersweet smells very good, and he is afraid that the ground will destroy the Feng Shui of the Yangxin Hall, so he made so many sachets that can make people hang the entire Yangxin Hall for you..."
Haha, Hua Chun nodded: "What a good idea. I have understood the emperor's intentions, but this thing is hanging everywhere. Those who don't know think something happened to the Heart Hall to ward off evil spirits."
After wiping his face, Eunuch Qin laughed dryly: "The Emperor wants you to be happy."
Hua Chun nodded: "I saw it and I am very happy. Thank you for your grace."
Although it is not as beautiful as she imagined,... it would be nice for Yuwen Jie to have this kind of heart. Those big and thick man can give her a bunch of sachets, which is already considered to be contaminated by the tenderness of the moon. How could she not be content?
Sighing, Hua Chun picked up the sachet and started hanging it into the room, one left and one right, and soon the whole hall was filled with the fragrance of wintersweet.
Seeing that Concubine De gradually smiled, Eunuch Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If the Empress likes it, then the servant will go back and report it to the emperor."
"Well, thank you, my father-in-law." Hua Chun nodded and asked Ruier to take a purse and hand it to him. Eunuch Qin did not refuse, and then left with a smile.
"This is great. Anyone who comes to our palace in the future will be like a free incense." Qing Niu joked: "It won't take long to have everyone on their bodies with the fragrance of wintersweet."
"Isn't it good?" Rui'er smiled and said, "This fragrance smells good, it is much more natural than incense, and it is also elegant."
Hua Chun counted and found that there were ninety-nine sachets. The ingredients used for the sachet noodles were still good Shu brocade, and the emperor was really willing to do so.
He took one and tied it around his waist. Hua Chun took a deep breath, vomited it out again, curled his lips and said, "Hang the rest into the backyard, count it clearly, and remember to guard against thieves when hanging it out."
"Yes." Qingniao and Rui'er agreed.
Later, the emperor came over in person. Hua Chun was about to go up and tease him, but saw Yuwen Jie saying very seriously: "There is news that Prince Xi is going to marry the prince."
A little stunned, Hua Chun frowned: "Are you afraid of deformity of the offspring when getting married?"
Yuwen Jie looked at her blankly for a while, as if she understood what she said, and explained: "He is not from the royal family of Yuwen, but because his ancestors have made contributions, he has hereditary throne and is a foreign surname."
So, Hua Chun nodded. When he was sorting out the information, he read that among the vassal kings, besides Prince Xi, the most powerful one should be with the prince. However, with the king's daughter, he is extremely ugly and is said to be very fat. With Prince Xi's arrogant personality, would he actually win such a woman for his power?
"I'm not easy to come forward for such a thing." The emperor looked at her with deep eyes: "Can you trust you?"
