Chapter 674 Metaphor
"What is the mystery of Princess Ruyi's identity? Isn't it the child of the Tian Family and the Empress?" Ayu said to Tuanzi, "It was a child who was finally found with great difficulty. It should be brought back after all the information has been cleared up, right? "
If the child was found and found by mistake, wouldn't it appear that the royal family is incompetent?
【Do you want to complete this task? Some points will be awarded, if you want to do it, don't do it clearly, just let people know her true identity, so as not to be hated by her. 】
"Do you know who she is?"
【I don't think she looks like the cub of the emperor or empress. From a genetic analysis, she really has nothing in common. 】
[By the way, I also heard some people talking in private, saying that the eyes and ears of the princess and the queen are very similar, and their tempers are also a bit similar, but I don’t think it’s right at all. They have different types of eyes, let alone ears . 】
【And this temper—】
"I don't think the queen is a bad-tempered person, but I have heard some people say that the queen used to have a bad temper and liked to punish the palace people. She punished all the concubines in the palace before." Ayu talked about this. A little embarrassed, "I don't know whether to sympathize with the queen or those concubines. They only have one husband. It seems that everyone is right, but everyone is unhappy."
【This is not bad, the current emperor only has about a dozen palace officials, and most of them are famous and unrecognizable. Didn’t you learn the history of Dachang? For those emperors in the past, the number of harems was measured in hundreds. 】
"Just now you said that Princess Ruyi has a temper and a queen image, which reminds me of one thing. Could it be that she deliberately pretends to be domineering because she wants everyone to think that she looks like the queen?"
After all, when this princess pretends to be fierce, she always looks like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
【Don't worry about those, she bullied us, we can't let her get away with it like this. 】
Zi is the commander of the Astrology Department. The people here are covered by the cub, rounded up, it is the cover, how can an idiot be bullied?
The time the two chatted through the space was actually not very long. From Princess Ruyi’s point of view, Ayu paused for a dozen breaths, and then looked at her in the blink of an eye: “Princess Ruyi has been in the palace for a long time, so she probably forgot about the imperial city.” The rules of running errands here, no matter who wants to move around, they have to ask for instructions. Even if you are a princess, there are many places where you can’t walk around. Our astrology temple is small, and not any Buddha can enter! The princess came to me today The Astrology Department beat people for no reason, and even coveted our hard-working subordinates, and wanted to kill people to keep silent, I will truthfully report this matter to the Clan Mansion, copy to the Cabinet, and submit it to the Imperial Palace. Please respect yourself, Princess!"
Princess Ruyi: "Little girl, don't try to scare me! I, I, I am not afraid!"
"Well, if the princess can speak without shaking her voice, the credibility will be even higher." Ayu looked at Liu Fang whose face was swollen all over, and really couldn't like this princess, "Besides, the princess hurt our People, this soup and medicine can’t be relied on.”
Princess Ruyi was about to say something, but her thoughts were disrupted by her phone call. In a daze, she left the 200 taels of IOU and left as if she had been a thief.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Zhen ran over panting, followed by about 10 people.
At first, I thought I would see a mess, but I didn’t expect to see Ayu and others drying ancient books in the yard.
The smoky blue bottom was worn by her with a sense of agility, and the top was the commander's regular uniform, with a half-moon pattern on it, which made Ayu look as calm as a little adult.
"Commander, what's going on? Where is Princess Ruyi?" Xie Zhen asked quickly, "I was going to submit an official document at the Imperial Academy, but I heard that Princess Ruyi was causing trouble, so I hurriedly begged a few Colleagues come over, does this mean that the person has already left, or has he not come?"
For a while, Xie Zhen was a little confused.
Someone would come to the Astrology Department to make trouble, which he did not expect. His identity may be nothing in the eyes of others, but he would definitely not take the initiative to provoke, let alone a princess who has not recognized him for a few years.
Ayu: "No big deal, oh, there is still one thing to talk about. It may not be long before she will send someone to send money, and you will be responsible for receiving it."
"Send money, what kind of money to send?" Xie Zhen was a little confused, he could understand every word of these words, why is it so difficult to understand together?
"These are not important, but your apprentice seems to be quite frightened, you go to comfort him, I don't quite understand, such a mood may become a man, you will have more to say." Ayu held the ancient book in his hand After placing them, they left the yard and turned to the small room on the other side.
Xie Zhen hurriedly said to his colleagues who were also in the circle: "Thank you for coming to help. Since there is nothing to do for the time being, please go back first, thank you here."
"Thank you, Commander, for being polite."
Xie Zhen waved his hand: "Hey, I'm wrong. I'm not the commander-in-chief now, I'm just a secretary. What you saw just now is our new commander-in-chief. It's just that it's really inconvenient to introduce you today. If there is a chance in the future, I will do it again." Let's meet."
"It's easy to talk about." Everyone was three-point curious, two-point blank, and five-point easy to leave.
In fact, they also had some regrets on the way here. If they really met that princess, they would be afraid of being put on small shoes in the future. Fortunately, everything was settled when they came here. Happy to do it?
Just after coming here, I have a new doubt. Although the Department of Astrology is an inconspicuous small place, but it is possible to leave a little girl to be the commander directly. Obviously, the power behind it cannot be underestimated.
In the future, we will have to reconsider the Department of Astrology.
At this time, Ayu looked at Liufang lying on the bed in the small room. The glutinous rice **** were rubbing medicine on her. This was prepared by Ayu herself. Of course, there was added magic water in it, not too much, but it was enough to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
"Sister Liufang, don't be so stupid next time. If there is someone you don't like, just bear with it and find a chance to be called me. Don't suffer in vain." Ayu really felt distressed, thanked her face, It's really too bad to be labeled like this without saying anything.
But Liu Fang said: "It doesn't matter to the Commander. The slaves don't feel pain. After two or three days of recuperation, we will be fine. We slaves are not so delicate. Although I was not often beaten before, it is not that I have not been beaten. But, I know how to turn my head so it looks serious, but not so painful."
Tang Yuan said next to her: "You are dead-tempered. Since you can focus on how to be beaten without pain, why don't you think about how to avoid being beaten? For example, you can make yourself a big court lady, so that you don't look at the face of the monk. When you look at the face of the Buddha, you also need to look at the owner when beating a dog. When your status is raised, you won't be beaten."
One of the rules of survival in the imperial city in Tang Yuan's heart, try not to do sinners, but you must not suffer, especially not to let your master suffer.
To be a good subordinate, you must not only handle the matters assigned by the master, but also let the master not worry about himself.
Liufang looked taught: "I understand. After I recover from my injury, I will work hard to assess and strive to be rated as a second-class court lady as soon as possible!"
The second-class maid is the first person under the close-fitting maid. The close-fitting maid generally follows the master and is not necessarily known by other palaces, but the second-class court lady has to travel around and holds real power, so it is easier to be known by other palaces and save face , basically won't be hit.
"What time are you waiting now?"
"Fifth class."
"..." That really has to wait.
Tangyuan patted her on the shoulder: "Then, work hard."
Over there, Xie Zhen was dumbfounded when he learned about Xie Guixin's experience from the fat aunt.
His apprentice is twenty, how old is the princess?
She how, how...
"Master, can you not make the expression of disgust so obvious?" Xie Guixin felt that he had been hurt a lot, "I have already been humiliated enough."
Xie Zhen put away his expression, and hurriedly said: "Ah, you read it wrong, I feel sorry for you, apprentice, if you really love the princess, it will take a few years for the princess to grow up, and you are already old and fading—I That's not what you mean, don't stare at me. In this way, I still suggest that you get married with your fiancée at home as soon as possible. It has been three years of delay, and it is time to get married, so as not to have long nights and dreams. When the time comes again, no one may protect you. "
Thinking of the fiancée his family found for him, Xie Gui felt hopeless, and he couldn't escape.
"I see, I will take a two-day leave tomorrow, and come back to work after I get married." Xie Guixin said.
Ayu heard Xie Guixin say that she was going back to get married before she was on duty. While saying congratulations, she said: "Two days is not enough, right? Getting married in a hurry is disrespectful to girls. How about this? I'll give you ten days, and you prepare well. "
"A good day and auspicious day are already expected." Xie Guixin said, "It's the day after tomorrow, so I don't need the extra vacation, and I can come back sooner."
"Listen to me, it's only ten days, it's settled." Ayu ignored his words, and forced him to let him go for a few more days.
At first, I was thinking that the elder brothers in the family would get married, and they would always be bored with their sister-in-law for several days, not wanting to do anything. Xie Guixin should be the same, right?
Secondly, Xie Guixin had just encountered such a thing, and he must be feeling uncomfortable. It would be better to take a few more days off and let him adjust.
Well, she is really a considerate commander!
The personnel in the imperial city don’t necessarily have to rush home immediately after they are off duty. Some urgent business needs to be dealt with must be stayed to complete, and those who love business by nature will not leave.
The on-duty time of the Imperial Academy is about the same as that of the Astrology Department, but compiling is a complicated job, which requires sorting out and searching. Fortunately, Qin Huai has a good memory, and often he only needs half an hour to finish the day's work, and he can still Leave the rest of the people with more than they can do for a few days.
For example, his chief officer originally wanted to file a young boy's spirit, so he asked him to deal with a few old histories. As a result, he finished it on the same day, which led to the chief officer himself having a super much workload. The old books on his desk are even thicker and need to be handled by him, which makes him want to cry.
Qin Huai got off duty early, turned a corner and arrived at the Department of Astrology, sitting in the small garden and waiting for Ayu.
Ayu saw him, but instead of running towards him with a happy smile as usual, she looked preoccupied.
He instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and asked, "Ayu, what's wrong with you? Did you have a bad day today?"
Lu Yu, who has consciously acted as Qin Huai's book boy and took office, also looks at Ayu when he hears this.
Ayu is not happy, this is really a big thing, in his eyes, Ayu is the one who is happy all day long, as if there is nothing in this world that can make her unhappy.
Lu Yu has always regarded Ayu as his younger sister, or the kind of younger sister who can make him proud, so he asked: "Is it not doing well in the astrology department? The people there have not been taken seriously, and they may be thinking Not right."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's not the case." Tang Yuan suddenly dissatisfied, "Why do you open your mouth without evidence? Forget it, you should come here and follow me to the small kitchen to get two things."
Lu Yu: "What?"
"It's very heavy, I can't carry it, let's go." Tang Yuan walked straight ahead, regardless of whether Lu Yu followed.
Lu Yu didn't want to go at first, but he was aggrieved by being a book boy, not because he was a book boy for Qin Huai, but because in the Imperial Academy, many people knew his identity and thought he was a self-willed and depraved person. The eyes in the dark are full of contempt, which makes him feel aggrieved.
Alas, now even a little girl can control herself.
Inexplicably, he is not very disgusted. What does this mean? It shows that he is getting more and more used to being a book boy, which really makes him despair.
After the two left, Qin Huaicai asked, "What did I do wrong that made you unhappy?"
After much deliberation, this is the only answer. Ayu is not a person who will vent her anger, she will only do things wrong to others.
"It's not your fault, but I don't know why, but I feel like my favorite piece of meat is being spit on by someone who doesn't like it." Ayu stared at Qin Huai with burning eyes , looked him up and down a few times, then changed his mouth again, "It's either meat and saliva, or—"
"It's like someone stole your steamed bun and stepped on it?" Qin Huai found a description.
"Ah, that's right."
"Then tell me, what is it that makes our little Ayu so unhappy."
Ayu told everything about Princess Ruyi, and at the end, she added: "I think she is really rude, and she is a princess, so she feels that she can do whatever she wants, and she can do whatever she wants. It can’t be like this, right? I thought about teaching her a lesson, why don’t I go home now, and go to complain to the Queen Mother, a reasonable person like the Queen Mother will definitely criticize her. Are you right, Brother Ayou?”
Ayu talked for a long time, but didn't hear Qin Huai's response, so she stuck her head in front of him and asked, "Brother Ayou?"
Qin Huai: "..."
He endured it, but he still couldn't, and asked, "So, am I the spit-on meat and the dirty steamed bun?"
What did he do to get dirty? !
Ayu realized that he had said something wrong, he laughed, turned around and ran away: "You heard wrong, I didn't say that."
"Stop and speak clearly." Qin Huai strode to catch up.
"Hahaha…"
