Chapter 198: What is the most indispensable thing in the harem?
"Ha ha, your Majesty, you are really funny. The most indispensable thing in this palace is the beauty. How excellent is a concubine?"
Shangguan Wanyin's words were a little self-pity and self-pity. She looked up at the distance. When she wanted to talk about beauty, the concubine thought of a person. That's your direct cousin, Shen Guiren now. I heard that she has lived in the East Palace for five or six years. Aren't you a childhood sweetheart with her?
The two stopped near the lake, and a sparkling lake in front of them. Although it has passed the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the lake is still green.
At this time, it happened to be the sunset, and the lake light refracted slightly dazzlingly. Jun Yu said without saying anything, he turned his back to the breeze in the direction of the sun and leaned against the bluestone carving railing: "Huh? Did she come to you again to make trouble? I know that she and her mother are not a favorite person, but in the past, I also wanted to send them back to my hometown, but I could be avoided by them every time. This time when I ascended the throne, the emperor asked his grandmother to lobby me, and finally awarded the title of a noble member of the Shen family. But I have never paid attention to it. If you suffer any grievances, just tell me, I will not forgive them easily.
The autumn sun was shining brightly, and the water waves on the lake reflected on Shangguan Wanyin's face, making her look a little unreal.
"No, won't the emperor understand what kind of nature the concubine is? My concubine has always been a person who refuses to suffer losses, not to mention that now there are people sent by the imperial grandmother to protect my concubines and children. The concubine just felt that it was boring. Although she was blessed by everyone, she had the emperor's first child, but you know that you hope that the biological mother of this child should not be a concubine. According to this, there is no difference between my concubine and these beauties in the harem. And the most indispensable thing in the harem is the beauty. What do you think, your Majesty?
"Oh, it's not like what you said. Shangguan Wanyin, whom I know, has always been a person who dares to love and hate. Look, where do you have the courage and fortitude you used to be now?
Jun Yu shook her head with a smile, raised her hand and folded a green new willow, and stroked the carved stone platform at will. "I understand that you actually have no intention of me. Since you entered the palace, you have never been selfishly favored. Today, it seems to be jealous and sour."
The two of them talk like this, which is simply not the right words between the imperial concubines. But Shangguan Wanyin felt infinite pleasure in her heart. She smiled faintly, stroked the green silk blown by the wind, and said, "Nothing, my concubine just sighed for a moment. It turns out that people's nature will also change with time and circumstances.
However, after only more than a year, the high girl who did not care about the world in the past has become the imperial forbidden palace concubine in a blink of an eye. Although her bright eyes are as clear as before, it still makes people sigh.
Or is this the reason why Zichu wants to escape from himself at all costs?
Jun Yusultong suddenly remembered something, so he said, "There were too many people in Qingfeng Palace just now, and I can't ask you some words. Now that there is no one left or right, I want to hear you tell you the truth.
"What are you talking about?" Shangguan Wanyin's eyes were bright and slightly glowed when she heard the words.
Jun Yusun looked at her and inexplicably hesitated for a while. He looked down at the green jade-like lake. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and asked, "You grew up with Jun Yuchen. At that time, I was several years older than you, so I rarely saw you. I can understand that you like Jun Yuchen in your heart. But now that you have entered the palace, you look like you have no desire with the world, and you don't seem to care about his situation at all? I always don't quite understand this. Can you tell me?"
Shangguan Wanyin was asked by him, but she smiled and said sarcastically, "Your Majesty, why are you still looking forward to your noble concubine thinking about your brother?"
"Oh, there's nothing I can't wait for. I just know that the feeling of missing a person cannot be forced or suppressed. So, just tell the truth to you."
Jun Yu's voice was calm and seemed to say to himself, "I don't hide it from you. I didn't like you before, but now, for the sake of the children, I just want to treat you well in the future. After all, there is no fate between us, or we have missed it before. But for Zichu, I really can't let it go. If I can't let it go, I can only continue to pursue it. Until I die, or I die. Otherwise, it is impossible to let her go. Now I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and ask myself in my heart, is this all the arrangement of fate? No matter how hard I try, I can't get rid of this kind of love. Or, emotional things are never up to you?"
"Yes, it's not up to us."
Shangguan Wanyin also seemed to sigh when she heard the words. She looked up at the blue and cloudless sky, "The world is full of love and vows, and that's all. If the emperor can figure it out, it will naturally not be so hard.
"You changed the topic again, but you still don't want to answer my words." Jun Yu said, restrained his mind and said with a smile, "Forget it, needless to say. We didn't come out for a long time, but it was a little sour. I will accompany you to Zizhuyuan to say good-you to the emperor's grandmother. Later, you can tell her about living here by yourself.
Shangguan Wanyin remembered the kind-looking empress dowager, but there was some inexplicable stability in her heart. She knows that in today's harem, the two serious masters, the empress dowager and the queen, are probably eager to die early.
Only this empress dowager is willing to protect herself and her children. Since she figured this out, Shangguan Wanyin felt that even if she went to Zizhuyuan to sweep the yard for the Empress Dowager, she must go there. Otherwise, if the child in her womb can't be preserved, how can she have a card to meet her father and brothers in the future?
Besides, in the mountain city, with the reform of Zichu's management system, Zichu needs less and less time to sit in the General Office of Internal Affairs.
She is sleepy during pregnancy and has to sleep until three poles every day before she gets up. For the things entrusted to her by Jun Yuchen, she usually goes to the building every five days. If there is an emergency, Linglong and Qiaoyi are responsible for sending letters and notifications, and then issue orders to solve the problem.
It is said that the transportation in this mountain city is inconvenient, but the products are very rich, especially the mountain emperor is far away, so that he can sleep and play at will, which makes Zichu quite satisfied.
On this day, Jun Yuchen finished her own business. When she came to find Zichu, she was listening to play the piano in Taoju's small building. The music was intermittent and seemed to be a little strange. Probably not long after practice.
Zichu saw him coming, stopped and asked with a smile, "I don't know what's wrong with Uncle Jun?"
"I came here specially to ask you for advice. It's really terrible. Today, I specially came to ask my beloved wife for the first way to use people. Looking at your leisurely appearance, I feel more and more that I have worked hard for the past ten years, and I'm really asking for pain.
Jun Yusulfum began to touch the beauty and began to sigh softly.
"Yo! Uncle Jun, what did you say? Are you praising me or scolding me?
"Praise, sincere praise." Jun Yuchen said this very seriously. At this time, it was originally the busiest time in the past, but Zichu could sit here playing the piano and read books to avoid being lazy, which surprised him.
The most amazing thing is that she is not in command and supervise there, and many affairs in Dingwangfu and the mountain city are still carried out in an orderly and efficient manner. At this level, he can't help but accept it.
In the face of her husband's flattery, Zichu smiled very happily. She generously pointed to the chair beside her and invited Jun Yuchen to sit down for tea.
Jun Yuchen has a broad temperament. Although he was born a noble birth as a man, he did not mind putting down his body to ask his wife for advice, so he asked Zichu directly: "Zichu, I and everyone are watching what you have done in the past few months. To be honest, as your husband, I am really curious about your thoughts. Where do you think there are so many ghost ideas in your mind? These ideas are really novel and convincing.
When Zi first heard the words, he poured tea and smiled, "Actually, I didn't do anything!" I just want to change the mountain city and Dingwang Mansion into a business that can still operate normally even if I am away for ten days and a half months. If there is anything, there will be someone responsible for it.
"Oh, I'm afraid it's not just that you want to be lazy, right?"
"Then I want to ask you what you want to do with this asset. In fact, I have roughly learned that this mountain city should be regarded as a private property accumulated in the decades since your father ascended the throne. For a majestic emperor, he wants to build this mountain city, and it is still secretly built. Let's not talk about the purpose of this. However, these days, after reading the account books for nearly three years, I found that almost all of Jin Xuguo's main management of people's livelihood and munitions materials were under the control of your father. Even my uncle's Herian is actually just a chess piece. Such a large business empire is impossible to let it develop in the form of a secret consortium. Once it is handed over to others in the future, it will easily become a tool to shake the foundation of the country. You gave it to me because you think I am a person who can make the whole asset run well without betraying or out of your control, right?
Zichu didn't look at Jun Yuchen's expression. She just looked down at the teacup in her hand and analyzed carelessly one by one.
Jun Yuchen looked at her with bright eyes. He found that this woman he loved most was sometimes as naive as a child, and sometimes shrewd and scary. It seems that both sides are her, but neither side is the most real her. Just like the face-changing technology she said she is good at, she changes quickly, but she can't figure it out.
The best mentality nowadays is that even if there is any doubt in his heart, there is no need to get an answer from his mouth, because many times, even Jun Yuchen himself does not have an answer.
I can't help it. Who asked her to find a rich and handsome man in ancient times as her boyfriend? What's more, this rich and handsome man is born extraordinary, and he is a serious second generation of officials.
