Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0128 Appreciate colorful ink Ruyi made new ingots

After the autumn pear cream had cooled, Daiyu first ordered Lanling to make a cup and eat it with the emperor.The emperor ate half of the cup seriously, and said sincerely: "The fragrant pear flavor is only slightly sweeter, and if it is a little lighter, it will be perfect."

Daiyu glanced at him, took the teacup with one hand, pointed at the teacup with the other hand, mocked him with a smile, "I didn't make it for you to eat, I just asked you to taste it."

The emperor smiled and said: "I know, I have been honored by my ancestors."

"It's good to know." Daiyu snorted and laughed, and the two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

The emperor still had papers to be approved, so he stayed with Daiyu for another moment, and asked her to help grind ink by the side.Cinnabar ink is more difficult to grind than ordinary ink, and requires a little extra force when turning.Daiyu complained that her hands were sore after a few researches, so she quit.The emperor didn't want to ask the palace servants to come in, so he had to take the ink sticks and grind them by himself.

Add another spoonful of water, turn it slowly a few times, and there will be a rich and bright vermilion rippling in circles.

Daiyu stood by and watched, and couldn't help praising: "The color of this ink is very positive, not biased at all."

"Of course." It's not his arrogance, the things used in the inner court are all the best.When criticizing the vermilion, the cinnabar ink of the wrong color is used, and it is spread out in a thick and thin way. Wouldn't he be disgraced as an emperor? "Speaking of which, this ink is still the five-color ink made by Ruyi Museum during the Qixi Festival two years ago."

Daiyu already liked the things of the study room, and she became more and more interested when she heard it: "Apart from cinnabar ink, what other colors are there?"

"There are also four, sapphire blue, bright yellow, purple gold, and lotus root. I haven't used them yet." Then, he called Xi Shiyue to come in, and told him to take out the box containing the five-color ink: "Take the bright yellow ink Take the ingot and give it to the empress."

Xi Shiyue let out an "hey", and took a long box with four corners from the Bogu shelf not long after.Daiyu sat on the kang and watched him open the ink box to read with her.But seeing five concaves, only one space is empty.The rest of the Sifang ink has not been used, and it still retains its original shape.All of them are made into exquisite and delicate short sword hilts, which are very beautiful and interesting to look at, different from ordinary ink ingots.

Compared with the bright yellow one, Daiyu prefers the sapphire blue one, which looks more refreshing and clean in summer.She picked up the sapphire blue ink ingot and looked at it carefully, and said softly: "It looks so handsome." Without even raising her head, she only raised her voice slightly: "This sapphire blue one is better, just give it to me. "

The emperor was approving the Governor of Zhili's request for Anzhe, and he wrote down the words "I got it" at random. He didn't look up when he heard the words, and replied casually: "If that's the case, take it all. I will return to the princess to order my wife later." There must be several decent inks for the posts. After a while, ask them to make them and send them to you."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Then I'll just wait."

Sitting on the kang, she carefully looked at the square inkstones, picked them up and flipped through them back and forth, almost unable to hold back, she wanted Lan Ling to use the square inkstone to grind and test the color.Just when he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard the emperor sneer and said: "I didn't expect that it was Nangong who couldn't sit still first."

Daiyu looked up, thinking it was a state matter, so she didn't make a sound.Unexpectedly, the emperor waved at her: "Honghong, come and have a look."

Tell her to go over and read the booklet?

Daiyu showed hesitation, although she passed by, she stood beside him but hesitated to take it: "How can I read the papers, this is not meddling in politics?"

"What kind of state affairs is this? It's just an excuse to persuade me to be a concubine and take a concubine."

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu couldn't help frowning.I took the booklet and looked at it, but I saw the letter "Shandong governor Nangong Ji knelt down to play, respectfully invite the emperor's dragon body to be safe."

The opening line is a well-regulated self-introduction to the family, and then greets the emperor.This is an ordinary fold, it was nothing at all, but after seeing it later, I realized why the emperor showed it to her.

Nangong Ji wrote: "Kangxian sent an edict on the sixth day of June in the eighth year of Kangxian: the decree was issued to appoint the co-organizer of the university, Lin, as the empress. The ministers and others heard this edict on the tenth day of the sixth month, and they all felt guilty, weeping, and deeply moved. After being virtuous, she enters Kunyi to protect Jin'ou. Soon the noble concubine will die, although she will be established, but the inner court will be empty. The ministers kneel down to pray for long live, and it is appropriate to hold a general election to continue the katydid, and the emperor will last forever..."

Lin Linzong always said a long list, and it seemed that he was sincere, but it was just for the selection of the emperor.Daiyu read it all over, then casually threw the memorial back on the case, and said with a sneer, "You are really sincere and always thinking of the emperor. How are you going to answer him?"

The emperor put the memorial back in place, rubbed his brows and said, "I promised you that I will never hold a general election. Even if I want to choose, I will also choose a concubine for the clan."

"You don't want to talk to him, and you show me what to do with it." It's a lie to say that she is unhappy, Daiyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, but she didn't want to show it in front of him, so she turned around to prevent him from looking.Rubbing the soft handkerchief and thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked the emperor, "Is this man from the Lanling Nangong clan?"

The emperor nodded and said yes: "The Nangong family has always respected women, and almost no one has become an official. This Nangong Ji can fight all the way, he is quite talented."

It was because of his talent that he put him in the position of governor of Shandong.

"The submission of this paper may not be his subjective wish. It may be that the Nangong family put pressure on it later." The emperor took out a few more papers from the papers that had been reviewed, and opened them to confirm that they were correct before letting Daiyu read them: "Except for Lan The Lingnan Gong family, Nanyang Shangguan family, Jingcheng Yin family, and Fan Yangqiao family are mostly family members who have served as officials in the court, and they made their petitions in different ways."

Since the founding of Daqing, the four kings and eight princes have been sealed, which is the most prosperous family in the dynasty.In addition, there are ten powerful families.The Luo family in Langya is the head, and the rest are Shangguan family in Nanyang, Mu family in Gusu, Nangong family in Lanling, Feng family in Xingyang, Lu family in Wuxing, Murong family in Jinling, Weisheng family in Taiyuan, Yin family in Jingcheng, and Qiao family in Fanyang.Today's royal family was born in the Murong family of Jinling. Since they took power, their roots have moved to the capital. Now there is another Chenjun Qi family who has replaced the Murong family.

These clans have been around for nearly a thousand years, and they flourished before the Daqing Dynasty.Starting from the Great Ming of the previous dynasty, he set out to weaken the foundation of the powerful family.How many years have I persisted, but I have not been able to completely suppress it.Gein's idea that he should not be polite to the common people at first, and that there would be no casual contacts was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ordinary people did not even have the right to read and write.Since the Daqing Dynasty, this trend has gradually improved.But even ordinary people study hard, and there are few people who are better than the lord of the aristocratic family.Nowadays, most of the officials in the Daqing court are people from aristocratic families.

If they unite and twist into a rope, they will be a force not to be underestimated.

Daiyu piled up the folders, and there was a thick stack in her hand.She couldn't help showing a look of worry: "It's impossible to make a boat with a single plank. If the resistance is really so great, I promise you to change your mouth...as long as...as long as you think about me..."

She couldn't bear to see him in trouble.

"What are you talking about? Am I breaking my promise to you just because of these few irrelevant notes?" The emperor stood up and put his arms around her shoulders, with a bit of anger in his voice: "I promised you, I won't change Just based on the few words in the memorial, can I let you down? If so, I am not worthy to be the emperor of Lao Shizi, so I will abdicate and let the virtuous forget it."

"Don't be annoyed." Daiyu hastily raised her hand to lightly cover his lips, preventing him from uttering more violent words.She frowned and said, "I know you have me in your heart, that's enough."

"How is this enough?" The emperor grabbed her hand and couldn't help sticking it to his face.When facing her, I can't help being full of tenderness. "I have to let you be the most carefree queen in the world. Do you think the general election is that simple? You have a day to worry about. The world is unpredictable, maybe I will be one step ahead of you, and then they will unite to bully you." What do you do? I'm watching helplessly from below, and I can't even protect you. Instead, don't let them in as soon as possible..."

"You're always talking nonsense!" Daiyu's eyes were red with those words, she gave him a light thump, and said in a low voice, "During the heyday of Spring and Autumn, it would be worrying to say such things."

The emperor arched his back in a posture, frowned and feigned pain, and said, "You beat me to death!"

"Why don't you really beat you to death?" Daiyu spat at him in a low voice, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and played with her braids in a daze.

"What are you thinking, so lost in thought?"

"I'm not going to tell you." Daiyu said: "I have an idea about this, but I just need to ask my ancestors to show me first." Then, she pulled the emperor to go to the Xinghuachun Pavilion.The emperor said that the memorial hadn't been approved yet, but Daiyu said: "It's the same if you use the meal to approve it. I have to reply to the post later, and I will light the lamp with you."

The emperor couldn't resist her, so he had to let her out.The Empress Dowager was sitting under the verandah teasing the little black monkey. Seeing the two coming hand in hand, she did not know how much she liked it.Pointing to the two of them, he smiled with the little black monkey: "Look, your master and his wife are here."

"Has the ancestor raised monkeys?" The emperor saluted Daiyu, seeing the familiar eyes of the little black monkey, he couldn't help saying, "Why do you think you've seen it before?"

It's hard to say it directly, but it looks like the one raised by the Empress Dowager Dong.

"It wasn't raised by the ancestors, it came here by itself." Daiyu still remembered the empress dowager's instructions, although she thought it was fun and wanted to go forward to tease her, but she still didn't move, standing with the emperor, lol Looking at the monkey, he said, "Why did it come again?"

The emperor was suddenly surprised, could it really be the black monkey raised by the Queen Mother? "It always comes?"

"I came here once before, but for some reason, I'm here again today."

The little black monkey is timid, but Daiyu is better. The emperor glanced at her and hid her whole body behind the empress dowager's feet. She held her leg and poked out half of her head tremblingly, as if she was looking around. situation.

The Empress Dowager's compassion suddenly blazed, she reached out and rubbed its head to comfort it, and motioned Tong Yi to come and hug it down: "Feed it something, less. I feel that its belly is flat, I'm afraid I haven’t eaten for several meals. The animals are not hungry and full, and they are too exhausted to heal.”

Tong Yi carried her away, the Empress Dowager made a gesture to get up, Daiyu and the emperor hurriedly helped her up from left to right.

Daiyu said: "Old ancestor, this little black monkey..."

"I ran here after lunch. I was eating dried fruit, and it poured in. I was crying and bowing. It looked so pitiful."

The Empress Dowager really didn't know what to say.How did the Eastern Empress Dowager become like this?People called Quan in and out of the Changchun Garden, unable to touch the emperor and Daiyu, so she began to rub the slaves and animals.Getting angry at cats and dogs is the only way to think about it in this life.

"It's very pitiful." Daiyu helped the Empress Dowager into the warm pavilion, so that she could sit comfortably on the kang.

The Empress Dowager also asked her to sit with the emperor, and Kang Dong asked to sit, leaving only Kang West.Daiyu wanted to sit on the embroidered stool, but asked the emperor to sit on the West Kang.He didn't go to the embroidered stool himself, and sat down beside her.

"Kangxi is generous, let's sit next to each other."

Considering that the Empress Dowager was in front, Daiyu didn't hurt him, she only glanced at him and then looked away.The Empress Dowager was delighted to see their affection, she kept silent and only ate tea.

Daiyu said with a smile: "When I got up early, I heard my ancestor cough twice. The emperor led me to make some autumn pear ointment, so I can present it to my ancestor to try."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager ordered to present it quickly, and saw that there was more than half of the jar of autumn pear cream in the transparent glass jar, and the color was richer than honey.

She ordered someone to fetch water and a cup: "Quickly make a cup and let me eat."

Gui Lan took two spoonfuls and made a cup. When the jar was opened, the room was filled with the sweet aroma of pears and sugar.The Empress Dowager ate most of the cup with her hands, and she was really happy, as if she was in love.

"It tastes good. The fragrance of the pears doesn't dissipate and you don't feel astringent." The Empress Dowager ate up the remaining half of the cup, and Fang asked Daiyu narrowly, "Is it true that the emperor led you to make it?"

Daiyu looked at the emperor with a smile: "The emperor has contributed a lot, and he did the heavy work. That is to say, the ancestor has such a big face, he is filial to you and he is willing."

There is no old man who dislikes the filial piety of his grandchildren, and the empress dowager is no exception.Of course she knew that it was Daiyu's idea to make autumn pear ointment, and she was selling it for the emperor in front of her.Knowing this, the Empress Dowager loved her even more.

He took Daiyu's hand with a smile on his face, and said softly: "You and your mother came to Shoukang Palace that day. I saw you and said, I don't know who is lucky enough to let you go. Looking at it now, it is our Murong family. Good fortune."

Daiyu couldn't help but blushed: "The old ancestor always laughed at me."

Sitting together and talking about the usual things at home, Dai Yufang remembered the business, sat up straight, and looked a little serious.

"One thing, I have an idea, I would like to ask you, my ancestor, to be my adviser." Seeing the empress dowager nod, Daiyu turned her head and looked at the emperor for a while before she settled down. "Recently, there have been a lot of rumors that they want to ask the emperor to be elected. Needless to say, the ancestors and the emperor, even I have received many posts. Some things are as good as they are, and they are all said, so that's fine. So I thought, first pick some high-ranking girls and bring them into the palace. Of course, it is not a general election. I just say that I am bored in the garden, and I want to bring them in to have fun. At that time, I will look at the unmarried princes and aristocratic families. If there are good ones, please ask the ancestors to grant them marriages, wouldn't it be good if you earn enough face?"

The Empress Dowager heard it interesting, and said meaningfully: "If you want to give a marriage, you don't have to go to the palace to go through a lot of trouble. I'm afraid our empress has other ideas, so that they can retreat in spite of difficulties?"
