Zheng Ying grew up in the prairie, her constitution could not be considered weak, so she recovered quickly. But ever since she sent out the spies, she had been waiting patiently every day, but no one came back. That day, he couldn't keep his composure any longer, so he decided to take action personally, leading his men to sneak in through the side door. Hiding under the window, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the hall. It was Shen Shiyun and Li Yijie having a rendezvous. She was both happy and annoyed, thinking that her subordinates were not attentive enough, otherwise, how could the palace be so peaceful for several days, only to see the situation suddenly change as soon as she arrived? After observing for a while, she suddenly saw Li Yijie carried Shen Shiyun by her waist and spun her around several times inside the palace hall. Shen Shiyun laughed tenderly again and again, and then the two of them entered the inner room together.
Zheng Ying was so happy that she stood up and said in a low voice, "At first they met in private, but not long afterwards their hands and feet were not following the rules. Now they are about to go to bed! One, two, but no more than three, ben gong is going to tell His Majesty that I caused him to miss a good show, naturally I want to make it up to him with a more wonderful show. It is said that to catch a thief you must find the stolen goods, to catch an adulterer you must find the pair. Now we have both, how can he quibble? I want this pair of adulterers' heads to fall to the ground! All of you, open your eyes wide and watch them closely, don't let even an ant out of this range! "And then she turned around and left without looking back. Yinyin called out from behind her, "Niangniang, why don't you touch up your makeup …" and the little eunuch asked, "Niangniang, do you want us to watch people or watch ants?" All these noises were ignored. It was difficult for her to wear shoes as thick as the bottom of a flowerpot, yet she was still able to run as if she was flying.
This time she met Fulin halfway, so she did not bring any Imperial Bodyguards with her. Zheng Ying cried inwardly, "Heaven is helping me!" She hastily paid her respects and said, "Your Majesty … ah!" But she was running too fast to stop, so she fell forward and fell into Fulin's arms. Fulin's countenance was cold, he held her shoulders with both hands and pushed her away stiffly. Without asking anything, he bypassed her and continued to move forward. Zheng Ying blurted out, "Your Majesty seems to be in a hurry. Could it be that you're heading to the Snow Song Palace again?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked. Now that he did, Lai Fulin's impression of her was greatly reduced. He only felt that she was no different from those jealous concubines. Full of impatience, he casually replied, "Although I am incompetent, I am not a licentious and fatuous ruler. Recently, the floods have been running rampant. We are looking for a few important ministers to discuss the arrangements for the construction of the water conservancy dam, so we are not going to the Snow Song Palace. You should be relieved, right? "
Regarding the construction of the dam, flood control and strengthening of the embankment, the proposal had been mentioned many times in the memorial. Fulin felt that if he had to examine every aspect, it would be too cumbersome, and the matter was quite boring. Therefore, he ordered his close officials to discuss the general plan first, and then report the final order. Speaking of today's trip, she was indeed going to the Snow Song Palace to find Shen Shiyun and celebrate her increasingly harmonious relationship with the Empress Dowager. But at this moment, since Zheng Ying was pestering him, he would rather listen to the old minister's long-winded words than her endless chatter. In a moment of desperation, he had to bring up the old matter to avoid the emperor.
Zheng Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought, "Your Majesty is really interesting. In order to avoid me, you can even make up the reason of building the dam. Why don't you say that you want to build the Great Wall?" At this moment, she was seizing every second. She swayed in all directions, leaving only Fulin in the direction of the Snow Song Palace. She eloquently persuaded, "No, no, you should go to the Snow Song Palace. You must go to the Snow Song Palace! To tell you the truth, this concubine is looking for you today to invite you to the Snow Song Palace! "
Fulin was startled and asked curiously, "Did the sun rise from the west? You actually took the initiative to invite us to find Consort Yun? "
Zheng Ying was about to cry. She looked at Fulin with teary eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that you are still angry with me, but this concubine really doesn't know how to draw. I definitely didn't mean to embarrass the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty in front of everyone. Otherwise, why would the ancient precepts teach people not to lie, but if you tell a lie, you have to say eight or ten more lies to cover it up? That portrait was actually drawn by Consort Yun. It was only because this concubine's vanity caused mischief that I went with the flow and casually admitted to it. " She saw that Fulin's expression was still cold and didn't change much, but it seemed to add some "expected" indifference. Suddenly, she thought, "He loves to hear people praise Shen Shiyun. He's even happier than when people praise him. Why don't I try this? In any case, as long as I deceive him to the Snow Song Palace and he sees that ugly face with his own eyes, he won't be infatuated with that woman anymore. I won't die if I say a few words that go against my heart for the time being. " Thus, she changed her words, "Although this concubine doesn't want to admit it, this concubine is really jealous of Consort Yun. She has all the spiritual aura of the world and shows all the magic that the Creator has given her. She's simply beautiful and otherworldly. It's normal for Your Majesty to dote on her. If it were any other man, they would love her and not me. However, only a true Son of Heaven like you is worthy of a fairy descending to the mortal world. Moreover, this concubine is envious of her good painting skills and wanted to ask her for some advice. But as soon as I saw that portrait, I knew that I would never be able to catch up to her. Thus, I had a crooked idea and used flowery words to cheat the painting into my hands and present it to Your Majesty. Now, I really regret it. I originally wanted to fight for some face, but instead, I lost all my face. It's all my own fault. Consort Yun is a hundred times, a thousand times better than this concubine. Her limelight has long surpassed this concubine. What else does this concubine have to blindly hope for? "
On the surface, she was full of flattery, but she was still unwilling to praise Shen Shiyun. Many of her words had a deeper meaning, such as' otherworldly ', which meant that she was scolding her for being a little demon.' Change it to another man ', which meant that she was secretly having an affair with Li Yijie. 'Fairy descending to the mortal world' was referring to herself. However, Fulin's train of thought was not as roundabout as hers, so he naturally didn't think too much about it. He only thought that she had sincerely changed her mind. His expression also eased a bit. He warmly said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you say it to Zhen at that time? This matter was handled by Zhen, and it was just a joke in private. It wasn't serious. Why bother to make a fuss in front of the Empress Dowager and turn a small matter into a big matter? "
Zheng Ying sorrowfully said, "At that time, this concubine was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off. I didn't dare to go back on my words. If I changed my words again, I was afraid that I would commit the crime of deceiving Your Majesty. I was also afraid that Your Majesty would dislike me. Besides, when Your Majesty proposed it, this concubine didn't dare to be brave. I did refuse, but Your Majesty didn't allow it. "
Hearing her grievance, Fulin was both angry and amused. He couldn't bear to scold her anymore. He said, "What kind of 'crime of deceiving Your Majesty' is that? Your thoughts are too complicated. No matter which beloved concubine is multi-talented, it is a matter that Zhen is very happy about. In addition, it took Zhen a lot of effort to persuade the Empress Dowager to cancel your punishment. Everything ends here. From now on, you should always take this as a warning. "Zheng Ying bowed and said," Thank you very much for Your Majesty's grace. "
Fulin laughed and said, "Don't thank Zhen. If you want to thank someone, thank Yun 'er. If it weren't for her new work, I would have coaxed half of the Empress Dowager's anger away, and then Zhen wouldn't have been able to persuade her that easily. "" Yes, "Zheng Ying said," Compared to Consort Yun Meimei, this concubine pales in comparison. I am extremely ashamed. To tell Your Majesty the truth, this concubine is so guilty that she has been bedridden for several days. Now that I have just recovered from a serious illness, I am anxious to go to the Snow Song Palace to personally apologize and express my gratitude. But I am also worried that my sincerity is not enough. I want to ask Your Majesty to come with me and say a few good words for this concubine. "
Fulin said, "What's wrong? Are you sick? Ay, Zhen has been busy pleading with the Empress Dowager for several days that I really don't know. But it's not because I am angry with you that I don't want to visit you. You … how are you feeling right now? "
Zheng Ying had made such a big mistake, the hundreds of officials thought that she would inevitably fall out of favor. Everybody knew how to steer according to the wind, so nobody bothered to report to the Emperor about the abandoned concubine's daily life. Zheng Ying could feel that his concern was sincere. She was also proud of herself. She smiled and said, "Receiving Your Majesty's golden mouth's inquiry, I am cured of any illness. I still have to trouble Your Majesty to run around everywhere to clean up this concubine's mess. This concubine is even more ashamed to show her face. But I still want to ask Consort Yun Meimei's forgiveness face to face, so that this knot in my heart can be untied. "
Fulin laughed and said, "It's rare that you are someone who cares. It just so happens that Zhen is also going to the Snow Song Palace, so Zhen will travel with you. In fact, you haven't had much contact with Consort Yun, so your understanding of her is still shallow. Not only is she considerate, she is also magnanimous. She certainly won't blame you. But if the two of you can become friends, it can't be considered a bad thing. " When Zheng Ying heard the first sentence, she smiled bitterly in her heart, "You really are 'going to the Snow Song Palace'. You even said that you wanted to build the dam. Sure enough, you were lying." She said self-deprecatingly, "Won't blame me … That's right, a great person won't fuss over a petty person's transgressions."
After a short while, they arrived in front of the Snow Song Palace's gate. Zheng Ying saw the solemn and awe-inspiring Imperial Bodyguards standing in the distance. Her heart was in a knot. She cried out inwardly, "I miscalculated! I forgot about this matter. As soon as they announced it, wouldn't it give Shen Shiyun an opportunity to take advantage of? " But she couldn't pull the Emperor into the bushes, nor could she rush into the gate before him and secretly give them money to keep their mouths shut. While she was in a dilemma, she saw the Imperial Bodyguards nodding and smiling at the Emperor without saying a word.
For a moment, Zheng Ying was pleasantly surprised. She made a wild guess, "Could it be that the Heaven is helping me by making them suddenly mute? Oh, it must be that Shen Shiyun has been pressuring them so much that these Imperial Bodyguards are angry but don't dare to say anything. They are also looking forward to her misfortune, so they deliberately created an opportunity for the Pope to see her true colors. From this point of view, except for Shen Shiyun, Bengong is carrying out justice on behalf of the Heaven. "The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but smile.
When they entered the Palace, Fulin carelessly said, "Zhen and the Imperial Bodyguards have long made an agreement that when they see Zhen, they must not announce it. This is to give Consort Yun a pleasant surprise. Don't misunderstand, I am being disrespectful to you." When Zheng Ying heard this, although it was different from what she had imagined, it didn't affect her progress much. She said in her heart, "Pleasant surprise, pleasant surprise. Shen Shiyun, today I will teach you to only be surprised without any pleasant surprise. "
Stepping into the small garden of the Inner Mansion, she hadn't walked a few steps when she heard a series of noises. It turned out two servant girls were fighting. Zheng Ying was secretly delighted. She said in her heart, "This is called the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. The master is not educated, the servant girls are also lowly." As she walked closer, she saw that it was Luo Jin and Yinyin. The two of them were tangled together, pulling each other's hair and scratching each other with their nails.
Although Luo Jin's stature was small, her movements were very agile. She saw that Yinyin was beaten more than she fought back. It was fine that her own servant girls were fighting, but they were in a disadvantageous position. Zheng Ying was impatient and immediately found it difficult to tolerate. She quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Stop! Using violence in front of His Majesty, are there any rules? What is going on? Yinyin, tell me! " She was worried that Fulin loved the house because of its crow, and would be partial to Luo Jin, so she rushed to ask Yinyin. She only hoped that Yinyin would be eloquent and turn the situation to her advantage. Who would have thought that Yinyin didn't see the big picture and was still struggling to rush toward Luo Jin. She called out, "That's my thing, how could I mistake it? Give the earring back to me … "
Luo Jin smiled faintly and bypassed her. She bowed and said, "Auspicious to His Majesty, auspicious to Niangniang. Let this servant say it. I was trimming the branches in the garden when I saw Miss Yinyin was nearby. I wanted to say hello to her, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly shout at me and throw herself at me. This servant reflected on myself. Perhaps it was because I was usually arrogant and treated the sisters in the Palace too harshly that Yinyin had a deep opinion and always wanted to beat me. "
Yinyin called out, "What do you mean by 'shout at you'? Don't avoid the important and dwell on the trivial! I'm talking about the earring you're wearing! Did you pick it up in the corner? I told you, that's my thing! "
Luo Jin shook her head and stroked the earring with two fingers. She smiled without care and said, "When did I say that the earring was picked up? This ah, it was left to me by my mother. It's a pair of two. One went missing a few days ago. " Yinyin also used two fingers to pull up the earring and said loudly, "If it's your mother's thing, how could I also have one? Moreover, it's the same style as yours? Could it be that it's a coincidence? "
Luo Jin smiled and said, "My earring just disappeared and you're wearing one. I also don't think it's a coincidence." Yinyin angrily said, "You're saying that I stole your earring …?" Luo Jin smiled and said, "I don't have any evidence. I don't dare to speak nonsense and accuse someone wrongly. However, if you have a guilty conscience and admit it yourself, that's the best."
