The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Chapter 107: 108: Hug of Love

  Chapter 107 108: Hugs of Love

  Qin Xiyue was promoted to Wanyi, and the palace was really lively for a few days, and Concubine Shu even threw a small banquet for her to celebrate.

   Song Yunzhao was invited to attend, but Song Yunzhao refused because he felt unwell.

  Han Jinyi has gone, she has no grievances with Qin Xiyue, if she doesn't go, it will not be a good thing that her status is low. What surprised Song Yunzhao was that Lu Zhixue stubbornly refused to go, using the excuse that she was exactly the same as Song Yunzhao and that she was unwell.

  Song Yunzhao felt that Lu Zhixue was a bit interesting at this moment, and it seemed that her savage attributes were not only aimed at her.

  From this day on, Song Yunzhao has a companion, Lu Zhixue.

  The two people's palaces are next to each other, and now the people in the palace wish they could walk around them, it's like a harem.

  Song Yunzhao was also speechless when she found out. Wasn't she simply tired of Lu Zhixue?

  Lu Zhixue thought she was implicated by Song Yunzhao, but she was used to it anyway, there was always a chance that she would be unlucky if she met Song Yunzhao.

  A few days before the end of the autumn, the emperor's precious feet finally stepped into the harem. Song Yunzhao was taken aback when he saw someone. In just a few days, the emperor actually lost weight, and the flesh could be clearly seen on his face.

   Those who knew that he went to court every day, but those who didn’t know that he thought he was doing coolies.

  Song Yunzhao hurriedly invited the emperor in, "Your Majesty, the important affairs of the court are indeed important, but your dragon body is more important. I think Meng Jiuchang and Zhang Maoquan must fight!"

  The emperor is her golden thigh, nothing can happen to her, and she is really angry when she talks about hitting the board at the moment.

  Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao, didn't expect her to be so worried and annoyed, pulled someone to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "I've been discussing the things you mentioned before, working together, and the courtiers put forward many beneficial regulations. Now that it's over, I can have a good rest. Don't worry, I'm fine."

  Song Yunzhao lighted the wax for the emperor. It is impossible to take a good rest. The leaked exam questions are waving to you.

  Thinking about it this way, Song Yunzhao felt very guilty, after all, she wanted to use this matter to make a big fuss.

  In order to make up for his guilty conscience, Song Yunzhao began to cook soup for the emperor in a very virtuous manner. After wrestling with the imperial dining room last time, Concubine Lu didn't know what he did. Anyway, the imperial dining room is now very careful about Wangyou Palace.

  The quality of meals has risen sharply, and Song Yunzhao feels that his small waist is getting fatter.

  Song Yunzhao is so attentive, the emperor is still very good. After drinking the tonic soup for three days, the emperor really feels much better.

  Song Yunzhao specially asked the dining room to give a meal list. She added and subtracted from it, and changed the recipe every ten days, changing patterns to make up the dragon's body for the emperor.

  Feng Yi knew that Song Yunzhao specially ordered a meal list for him, and asked Meng Jiuchang to go to Wangyou Palace to take it for a look. This feeling is very strange.

  No one has ever specially set a meal list for him. When he was a prince, he ate what the imperial dining room did. After he became an emperor, he ate what the emperor ate. He never thought about changing the recipe.

  Because no one paid attention to it, he subconsciously ignored it.

  However, now some people pay attention to his diet and his body, and are willing to bother to revise the meal list again and again.

  Feng Yi put away the meal list written by Song Yunzhao himself, copied a copy and sent it to the imperial dining room.

  Song Yunzhao was a little inexplicable after knowing it. What's the difference?

   Could it be that the emperor disliked her bad-looking handwriting?

  Although her handwriting is not considered to be a master, she has worked hard, hmph, if she dislikes it, she dislikes it, she doesn't care.

   At night, Song Yunzhao felt the long-lost enthusiasm of the emperor. She thought to herself that her meal list was really effective, and her efforts were not in vain!

  The next day Song Yunzhao sent away the affectionate emperor with a very guilty conscience, because today is the end of Qiu Wei!

  In the morning, the weather was calm, and in the afternoon, Anshun came back to report the news of Da Furen's request to see her.

  Of course Song Yunzhao agreed, so the eldest lady entered the palace that afternoon.

   Song Yunzhao saw that the eldest lady's expression was not very good, so he sent out the people in the hall, looked at her and said, "Auntie, do you have something to tell me?"

  The eldest lady looked at Song Yunzhao with a complicated look on her face, and then she calmed down and said, "Did Jieyu get the news in advance and know about this Qiu Wei?"

  Of course Song Yunzhao couldn't admit it, he flickered seriously, with a look of surprise on his face, "Did something really happen?"

  The eldest lady looked at Song Yunzhao's appearance as if she didn't seem to know about it in advance, and said hesitantly: "Why did Jieyu ask people to inquire about Qiu Wei before?"

   "Concubine Lu's title was deprived because of me. I know that the emperor asked the right minister to serve as the chief examiner. This is not to take some precautions in advance. If the right minister of Qiu Wei has done a good job this time, he might ask the emperor to restore the title of Concubine Lu. This is not a good thing for me."

   It turned out to be the case, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, it was reasonable to think this way, Jieyu was meticulous in handling things, it was better to be able to take precautions in advance than to fight hastily.

   "Auntie, you haven't told me what happened to Qiu Wei?" Song Yunzhao asked curiously.

  The eldest lady talked about the business, "Jieyu doesn't know something, the exam questions this time have been leaked."

   "What?" Song Yunzhao was shocked, "Auntie, you can't joke about this kind of thing."

  The eldest lady took out a few pieces of paper from the armhole, stretched out her hand and handed them over, and then said: "Jieyu, look at this."

  Song Yunzhao took it over and inspected it carefully, "The handwriting on the answer looks like that of a big cousin."

   "My eldest cousin bought this at a high price. I thought it was just someone else guessing the questions, but I didn't expect it to be exactly the same." The eldest lady said very angrily, "The exam questions were sold at a high price, and most of the people who got the exam questions were incompetent people. Isn't it true that people with real talents like your first cousin and your cousin's husband are trampled underfoot?"

  Song Yunzhao looked at the eldest lady and asked: "Auntie, since the eldest cousin bought this test paper, he should be sure of the answer."

  The eldest lady had a bitter look on her face, "Your first cousin handed in a blank paper."

  Song Yunzhao was startled, and applauded and praised his eldest cousin. This is really a real talent.

  She didn't communicate with her eldest cousin, but his handing in a blank paper is tantamount to a great help to her plan.

  What is a fairy teammate?

This is!

  Song Yunzhao immediately said: "My eldest cousin is a true gentleman, eldest aunt, don't be sad and angry. Qiu Wei is a matter of great importance for the court to obtain materials for the country. Why let the rats seek personal gain. I will definitely hear this matter from the heavens. Your majesty is the master, and the majority of students will be fair."

  The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yun Zhao's words, and said, "It's not enough to rely on you alone, we have to cooperate internally and externally."

  Song Yunzhao nodded immediately, "Auntie said, did my brother-in-law read the test questions?"

  The eldest lady sighed, "Your eldest cousin is not a person who hides secrets. If you get such a good thing, you will naturally show it to your cousin's husband. However, your cousin's husband answered all the exam questions on the first day. Later, when he changed the exam room, he met your cousin, so he didn't write the next exam papers."

  Song Yunzhao understood that the cousin's husband was instructed by the cousin.

  However, the cousin's husband can follow the big cousin, which shows that he is also a courageous person.

   "I will report this matter to His Majesty. Auntie, after you go back, let your eldest cousin and cousin-in-law reveal the matter. The bigger the trouble, the better. Since the first cousin decided to hand in the blank paper, he must know that this is a great opportunity, so he knows what to do. You tell your cousin, just do it, and I have everything in the palace. This is a good opportunity for our Song family to go further, and we must not miss it."

  The eldest lady was terrified by Song Yunzhao's words, but at the same time her blood boiled, wealth and wealth are in danger, and her son's future is naturally the most important thing. With Yunzhao's accurate words, the eldest lady will count.

   "I'm leaving the palace now, Jieyu just waits for the good news." The eldest lady immediately stood up and said goodbye.

  Song Yunzhao nodded, "Auntie, the right minister is also an examiner, and the left minister is not compatible with him. I don't know if the son of the left minister will participate in Qiuwei this year. If he participates, let the cousin try to join him."

  With the support of the left side, the right side will definitely not be able to suppress this matter.

  Besides, with him at the helm in the palace, Prime Minister Zuo would not take credit for the credit of his eldest cousin and cousin-in-law.

  Suppressing the Right Prime Minister has been the wish of the Left Prime Minister for many years. Now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely go all out.

  The eldest lady's eyes lit up, "What Jieyu said is true, I will go out of the palace to ask."

  After sending off the eldest lady, Song Yunzhao suppressed his excitement and called Anshun in, "How did you do what you were asked to do earlier?"

   "Master, don't worry, everything has been arranged."

   "You go out of the palace immediately and go to the person you like. When there is trouble outside, let him take the lead to find my eldest cousin." Song Yunzhao looked at Anshun and ordered, Song Yanran must not be able to do it alone, he must have his right hand and right arm to shout for him.

  Anshun has been looking for talents for Song Yunzhao these days, and his goal is people who are knowledgeable, talented, radical, and have a sense of justice.

  A young talent who is passionate and righteous is the most suitable thing to do this kind of thing that inspires people to pursue justice and fight against evil forces to the end.

  Anshun didn't ask any more questions, and left the palace after answering.

  Song Yunzhao called Xiangxue and the others to comb her hair and change her clothes, and then led them to Tai Chi Palace.

  Meng Jiuchang was much more active this time. Seeing Song Yunzhao coming, he greeted him personally, and pushed Zhang Mao aside, "Why is Master Jieyu here now? The emperor is busy, wait a moment, this servant will let me know."

  Song Yunzhao was not used to being warmly received by Meng Jiuchang, but she stood firm and nodded, "Mr. Lao Meng."

  Meng Jiuchang smiled and said a word of humility before entering the palace to report.

   Zhang Maoquan had the opportunity to greet Song Jieyu, and then said softly: "Jieyu be careful, the emperor is not in a good mood today."

  Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, "Does Manager Zhang know why?"

  Zhang Maoquan shook his head, "Your Majesty's face is sombre after he bows down."

   That was the matter of the court, Song Yunzhao secretly sighed that his luck was not very good, the emperor was a little pitiful, and the news he brought would only make him even more furious.

  Fortunately, he has stewed soup to nourish his body these few days, otherwise he might be really angry.

  Zhang Maoquan saw Meng Jiuchang coming out of the corner of his eyes, and immediately took a step back.

   "Master, Your Majesty let you in." Meng Jiuchang said with a smile.

  Song Yunzhao nodded and walked into the hall.

  There was a bit of shady atmosphere in the palace in autumn, Song Yunzhao saw that the emperor was still grading papers, she stepped forward to salute, "The concubine pays respects to the emperor."

   "Get up." Feng Yi put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Yun Zhao, "Why are you here?"

  Song Yunzhao is a very measured person. Basically, when no one in the harem provokes her, she will basically not set foot in the territory of Taiji Palace, and will only come when complaining.

   Now that she appeared here, Feng Yi subconsciously thought that someone in the harem had provoked her again.

  Think carefully about what happened to Chen Guiji just happened in the palace. When everyone doesn't want to be in trouble, who would provoke her so ignorantly?

   At this time, Feng Yi didn't realize that his thoughts had gradually changed. From the time when Song Yunzhao was a troublemaker, to now Song Yunzhao's complaint must be caused by someone else.

   "Can't the concubine come? Are you disturbing the emperor?" Song Yunzhao put on a somewhat difficult smile.

  Feng Yi waved at her, and Song Yunzhao stepped forward with interest.

   "Tell me, what's the matter?"

   Song Yunzhao became angry when he heard this tone, why, this word seems to be busy with her?

  Hmph, when she finishes the major exam questions, she will definitely not come here easily.

   Facing Song Yunzhao's expression, Feng Yi was really angry and laughed, why couldn't he say a word?

   Song Yunzhao saw the emperor smiling so happily, what's so funny about that?

  She is not a comedian, she can make people laugh with just one face.

  Song Yunzhao had a dazed look on his face, and Feng Yi smiled even more happily. Standing up, he took Yun Zhao's hand and went to sit down on the big couch in front of the window.

  Meng Jiuchang immediately served tea when he saw it, and thoughtfully prepared small snacks for the table.

  Song Yunzhao looked at Meng Jiuchang, who was particularly dog-legged. Although this man was not very authentic at times, he really had the ability to be the chief executive in front of the emperor.

   After some deliberation, Song Yunzhao looked up at the emperor with hesitation on his face, and said softly: "The concubine has something important to tell the emperor, but it's so important, I don't know how to say it for a while."

   It is rare to see Song Yunzhao like this, Feng Yi said with a smile: "You have always been a straightforward person, what can make you so embarrassed, it is really strange, tell me, and I will make the decision for you."

  Song Yunzhao's heart is at ease, the emperor is still very good, and this is what he wants.

  She looked as if she was at the bottom of the boat, gritted her teeth, took out the test paper bought by her eldest cousin from the armhole, held it in both hands and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this first."

  Light a wax for the emperor, as expected of the male protagonist in a romantic drama, he is either on the way to be sad or preparing to be sad.

  Feng Yi glanced at Yun Zhao suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Mysterious, what is this?"

  Song Yunzhao didn’t speak. Shutting up at this time is also a kindness. Let the emperor digest himself first.

  Feng Yi's smile gradually disappeared, the veins in the hand holding the test paper were exposed, his breathing gradually tightened, and his eyes seemed to flicker with fire.

  Song Yunzhao:…

   Fortunately she kept her mouth shut.

  One after another, he carefully read one by one from the beginning to the end.

   All the examination papers in the examination room were collected by the examiner, and the one in his hand was obviously not the examination paper in the examination room.

   "Where did you come from?"

  Song Yunzhao heard Feng Yi's repressed fury, and was afraid that she would really make people angry. She hurriedly got up and walked over, holding the emperor's hand tightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you should calm down the fire first. If you have something wrong, the concubine is really to blame."

  Feng Yi felt that Song Yunzhao's hand was trembling. He raised his head to meet her frightened and pale face, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and held her hand instead, "I'm not angry, just speak slowly."

  Song Yunzhao sat down next to the emperor, clasped his fingers, and then said softly: "My aunt sent a letter into the palace to visit me. I missed my family so I let my aunt into the palace. I didn't know that my aunt gave me this after she entered the palace. I didn't know this. I didn't understand what my aunt gave me. After my aunt explained carefully, I realized that it was a paper that my cousin bought from a friend at a high price a few days before the exam. Some people said that it was an exam question that Daru was invited to guess. My eldest cousin bought a copy out of the attitude of learning. After all, it was written by Daru.

  Song Yunzhao paused at this point, took a deep breath, looked at the gloomy face of the emperor to gather himself, and then continued: "How could my first cousin enter the examination room, and found that the test paper was exactly the same as the one he bought. My first cousin was quite frightened. How could there be such a coincidence? After careful consideration, he decided that the so-called Guess paper he bought should be the real test paper, and the test paper was leaked."

   "My eldest cousin was anxious and afraid. He is an upright scholar. He has studied hard for many years. How could he be willing to do such a deceitful thing? In his anger, he handed in a blank paper without writing a single word. After leaving the examination room, he asked my eldest aunt to enter the palace and tell me the whole story."

   "I was also frightened, and I didn't know what to do. Although I am a boudoir girl, I also know how bad this matter is, so... came to His Majesty."

  Feng Yi remained silent after listening, his eyes were fixed on the paper, not knowing what he was thinking.

  Song Yunzhao sat there quietly at this time, thinking that there should be no loopholes in her words, but she forgot to add her cousin-in-law, it’s okay, I will add it later.

   In this matter, the leakage of the test questions is not the most important thing. The most important thing is her cousin's upright disposition, and his pride as a scholar has not been broken. When the emperor is employing people, he must like a real gentleman like her cousin, especially a talented gentleman.

   Talent is not the most important thing when an emperor employs people. The most important thing is to look at the character of his subjects. Song Yunzhao took this point and tried his best to win favor with his cousin.

   "What else did your cousin say?" Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao and asked.

  Song Yunzhao turned his head with a guilty face, "It's...it's nothing."

   "Tell me the truth." Feng Yi said again.

  Song Yunzhao made an expression of giving up, and said helplessly: "My cousin doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. Since he knows that this matter is unfair, he will definitely not swallow his anger. My aunt said that before she entered the palace, the first cousin was going to unite with all the students to seek justice on this matter. He said that Han Chuang has studied hard for many years, and he has suffered so much. We can't let the villain take away the future of the truly talented."

  Feng Yi felt a little better when he heard the words, and now he calmed down, looking at Song Yunzhao's worried face, he was afraid that he had just frightened her, so he said: "Your cousin's temperament is somewhat similar to yours."

  As soon as the words fell to the ground, I remembered Song Nanzhen who overthrew the officialdom in the south, tsk, the people of the old Song family really have the same temperament, it's not that the whole family does not enter the same family.

  However, as the emperor, Feng Yi has long been tired of the way those old guys in the court behave. The Song family's behavior is very in line with his wishes, so he naturally finds it pleasing to the eye.

   Hearing what the emperor said, Song Yunzhao thought that it would be safe for the eldest cousin to be with the emperor, so he said worriedly: "This character is too upright. If he passes the exam and is awarded an official, he will have to fall many times in the officialdom."

   "You are speaking as if your cousin will definitely pass the exam."

   "Of course, my eldest cousin studies very hard, and he is often praised by his husband. Whether it's the three days of summer or the counting of nine in winter, he refuses to slack off in a day. The husband said that success with this perseverance is only a matter of time."

  Seeing Song Yunzhao's radiant look when he mentioned his cousin, Feng Yi felt a little envious for a while.

  This kind of brotherhood, he couldn't feel it in his life.

   "I know about this matter, you go back and rest." Feng Yi could see Song Yunzhao's uneasiness, and couldn't bear her to continue to worry, so he comforted her, "I will deal with this matter, don't worry."

  Song Yunzhao nodded hurriedly, "The emperor is a wise lord, and he will definitely not expose this matter lightly. However, the emperor's plans for the world are important, but your body is also very important. If you are angry, you will hurt your body. Take your time."

  Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao.

  Song Yunzhao was numb all over when he looked at him. These words are warm enough, yes, the emperor's eyes made her a little flustered.

   Before she could figure it out, she was embraced by the emperor.

  Song Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he wanted a loving hug, but it scared her to death.

  She reached out and hugged the emperor back, thinking that the emperor is really not easy.

  However, no matter how difficult it is for the emperor, he is also the hero who can win in the end.

  She is a cannon fodder female supporting role, even more difficult than the emperor.

   Coming out of the Tai Chi Palace, Song Yunzhao walked in the sunlight, his steps becoming more and more steady.

  In the past, there were great uncles and fathers who charged forward, and later there were young talents like eldest cousins ​​and cousin husbands. The Song family will not fall easily if there are successors.

  As long as she does not fall in the palace, the Song family will be united with the emperor outside the palace, so it will be stable.

  So what if the heroine has a father-in-law?

   Qin Taifu is old, like the sunset, this time for Qin Xiyue's promotion, he also wants to make the emperor happy and support the emperor's policies.

  She and Qin Taifu follow the same route, there is no saying who is despicable and who is bright,

   If there is one difference that must be mentioned, it is that the status of the Qin and Song families is different. The Qin Taifu is in a high position, while the Song family is more than a head shorter. They can only catch up to avoid being cannon fodder.

  She has done everything she can do in the palace, and the affairs outside the palace are all up to her elder cousin and cousin-in-law.

  Song Yunzhao walked back to Wangyou Palace step by step in the sunlight, with a resolute look and strong steps.

  From the day she became cannon fodder, she has been working hard to live, and she will still be like this in the future.

   Today’s update is here, my little cuties.
