"Thank you, sister!" Concubine Yu nodded slightly, still kneeling.【】

Wei Ning'er sighed and then left with the minions around her.

Returning to Zuixin Garden, Bingruo brought over the tea prepared by the little palace maid early in the morning.

"Master, please have some tea!"

Wei Ning'er waved her hand gently: "No need."

Bingruo handed the teacup to Qingyan, pondered for a moment and then said: "My lord, are you still worried about Concubine Yu and Brother Wu?"

Wei Ning'er nodded and whispered: "Which mother is willing to raise her child to others, and how can the child be willing to accept someone else as her mother? The fifth elder brother is so young, so pitiful!"

Bingruo was a little puzzled and said: "Yinu, I see that all the ladies in the palace are very precious about their own children. They usually take them with great care wherever they go. Today, a pure noble concubine comes here with her third brother.

Concubine Yu also came with the fourth elder brother. Why did the emperor reprimand Concubine Yu alone? Is it really because the empress brought jujube paste cakes to the fifth elder brother to eat, which made the fifth elder brother choke?"

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she frowned slightly: "You only know one but not the other. What happened today is probably the emperor's intention."

Bingruo's eyes widened when she heard this: "Your Majesty..."

Wei Ning'er sneered: "The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother had a lot of fun playing with the princess today, but Concubine Yu was the only one who guarded the fifth elder brother closely. Previously, the princess wanted to carry the fifth elder brother to play, but Concubine Yu refused. Later,

He also fed the fifth elder brother with the jujube paste cake he made. The emperor saw it but said nothing. Later, the fifth elder brother choked and he became angry. I was just taking advantage of this to look at the emperor.

I want to warn the concubines who have children that they should be stricter in upbringing the prince. In fact, the emperor does not really want to separate the fifth prince and concubine Yu, but just wants to punish him with a small punishment and a big warning, just for show.

It won't take long for the fifth elder brother to be returned to her, but Concubine Yu loves her son very much but is disrespectful to the empress. The emperor then becomes really angry. Now that the fifth elder brother is being raised by Concubine Xian, Concubine Yu wants to take the fifth elder brother away.

I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to go back!”

After hearing the words, Bingruo said after a while: "Little Master, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, you have to be more careful in the future!"

Bingruo was indeed frightened by Wei Ning'er's words and felt that the emperor was really terrifying.

Wei Ning'er smiled and said, "Although it's hard to figure out the emperor's intentions, you won't make mistakes if you are careful. It's just that everyone has their own weaknesses. If they are touched, they will inevitably lose control."

When Bingruo heard what he said, he remembered it in his heart. After leaving the dormitory, he told the servants in Zuixin Garden to be careful and not to cause trouble to their master.

Early the next morning, Wei Ning'er heard that Concubine Yu had been kneeling until late at night yesterday, and the Queen ordered someone to send her fainted back to the Forbidden City.

Everyone in the harem also saw the clues, which showed that the Queen had not forgiven Concubine Yu.

At this time, the emperor was sitting in the court hall, listening attentively to the performance of the ministers.

"I am reporting to the Emperor, looking up to Chieftain Shiro, and looking down to Chieftain Pangun. Although he had joined the imperial court during the reign of the late emperor, his subordinates often took advantage of danger to rob merchants and travelers, and plundered the property of soldiers and soldiers at stations. When officers and soldiers went to take away people, both of them

The chieftain hid the criminal, refused to hand him over, and spoke nonsense. The crime cannot be forgiven, so I asked the emperor to issue an order to suppress him." Military Minister Haiwang bowed and reported.

The emperor's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and he looked up and down. It is located among the mountains on the upper reaches of the Yalong River in Sichuan. It stretches hundreds of miles and is an important transportation route between Sichuan and Tibet. Now it seems that it is time to improve it.

At this moment, Zhang Tingyu, a senior scholar of the two dynasties, said: "Your Majesty, although the two chieftains made mistakes first, if they easily send troops to encircle and suppress them, I am afraid that all the chieftains will feel dissatisfied with the imperial court! Why don't you, the emperor, first Send someone to rebuke them, and if they don’t repent, it’s not too late to exterminate them.”

When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Fu Heng, what do you think?"

Everyone was not surprised when they saw the emperor questioning Fu Heng. Now Fu Heng is a second-rank official and is traveling in the military. Although he is not as good as these important ministers, no one dares to despise him.

Fu Heng came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please look up and down for hundreds of miles. It is the main road between Sichuan and Tibet and is very important to the court. However, the two chieftains have allowed their subordinates to rob passing merchants for several years. The Governor of Sichuan has been reprimanded many times but still refuses to repent. I ask the Emperor to order an encirclement and suppression. I am willing to personally lead the troops to share the Emperor's worries!"

The emperor paused slightly when he heard this. Fu Heng had always known his intentions, and he expected to personally encircle and suppress them, but to lead the troops himself? But it was not appropriate.

Fu Heng was a master of martial arts, but he never led troops to fight. After all, the emperor had selfish motives. When he thought of the queen, he dismissed Fu Heng's request in his heart.

"I am very pleased that you have such a heart. Given time, I will definitely make you useful." After the emperor said this, he paused slightly and then said: "In passing on my decree, I ordered the Sichuan Admiral Li Zhicui to mobilize 10,000 Han native officers and soldiers. Five thousand men, go to conquer and suppress, without making any mistakes."

"Yes!" The ministers responded immediately.

After the morning court, the emperor went straight to the queen's house. The second elder brother Yonglian had always been taboo for the queen. This time, the concubine Yuu aroused her pain again. The emperor was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he went to take a look. By the way, When the queen heard about Fu Heng's intention to lead troops into battle, she couldn't help but worry about Fu Heng's arrival. After the emperor left, she ordered someone to pass Ruoyan into the palace.

"My lord, the emperor is here!" Wei Ning'er was staring at the ice-cold sour plum soup in her hand, when she heard Bingruo say that the emperor was here, and she was startled and splashed it all over her body.

"Why are you so careless!" As soon as the emperor came in, he saw her shaking her brocade robe in embarrassment, and then laughed.

"Concubine, please give your regards to your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er came up behind her softly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to change my clothes!"

"Go!" The emperor nodded and sat down.

When Wei Ning'er changed her clothes and came out, the emperor took her hand and said softly: "Come with me for a walk!"

"What happened to your Majesty today? Did someone make you angry?" Wei Ning'er raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Only you dare to add fuel to the fire when I am in a bad mood." A lot of things have happened in the court in recent days, and the harem is not stable, so the emperor is naturally a little depressed.

"The emperor is not laughing. How dare I add fuel to the fire? I am relieving the emperor's worries!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"You are becoming more and more sharp-tongued. That's all. I can't help you. Come on, accompany me to Bitong Academy."

"Don't you dare to go to the emperor's study?" Is it possible that Wei Ning'er is acting on purpose?

"Go if I tell you to!" The emperor couldn't help but said, pulling her out and walking out.

When Wei Ning'er arrived at the study, she felt it was very new. She looked around and around, only to realize that the emperor's study was too big.

"Your Majesty, there are so many books here!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"Ning'er, tell me, do I have more books or money?" the emperor suddenly asked.

Wei Ning'er suddenly felt something in her heart. The emperor asked why, but he didn't dare not answer. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Maybe it's because there is a lot of money! But I can't say for sure, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and there are countless of them. "

"All the world belongs to me?" The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Although Wei Ning'er felt baffled, she didn't dare to say anything and looked straight at the emperor, not knowing what to do.

"Why are you staring at me like this?" The emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at her.

"Your Majesty is so strange today?" Wei Ning'er couldn't help but say.

"Oh, why?" the emperor smiled.

"Your Majesty, this world naturally belongs to the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty. Why is the Emperor laughing?" Wei Ning'er was a little confused about the emperor's thoughts at this time.

"Although I say this, there are many people who are enriching their own pockets and do not take me or the court into their eyes. I want to teach them a lesson, but it will be very painful and affect the entire court and the entire Qing Dynasty. "The emperor paused slightly after saying this, patted her head gently and said with a smile: "Forget it, you don't understand why I am telling you this."

"The emperor is talking about government affairs, so of course I don't understand." Wei Ning'er responded, but even if she did, she still wouldn't understand. Interfering with politics in the harem is a taboo.

"But... I feel depressed but don't know who to talk to!" The emperor sighed. He originally wanted to mention it to the queen, but the queen is still worrying about herself.

After Wei Ning'er pondered for a moment, she smiled and said: "The world is not the land of the king, but the people of the world. Everything in the world is the emperor's business. The money in the world also belongs to the emperor. The emperor can give it to whomever he wants. If someone makes the emperor unhappy, the emperor Just don’t give it to him.”

When the emperor heard this, he paused slightly, then smiled and said: "Ning'er is right. Even if I give it to them now, I will make them spit it out piece by piece."

Wei Ning'er didn't know how to reply. She thought to herself, now that the emperor has the power of the world, why does he need so much money?

"Ning'er is really my lucky star. One sentence solved my doubts for many days." The emperor was very happy.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor's treasury is full of silver. Why does the Emperor need so much silver? If the Emperor puts all the money in the world into the treasury, then the common people will have nothing left!" Wei Ning'er also once said After many years of poverty, she is well aware of the sufferings of the common people. Once, she and E Niang had no money and almost starved to death.

"You are really stupid. What do I need so much money for? But now I need money for everything, including disaster relief and fighting. You can't do it without money. I tell you that you don't understand, but there is no money in my treasury now. How much is left, otherwise there is no need to rush to recover the money and food owed by the provinces!" After the emperor said this, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Wei Ning'er looking at him blankly.

Wei Ning'er was very surprised, why did the emperor always say that she didn't understand? In fact, I'm afraid all the concubines in the harem knew about these things, but because of the ancestral rules of not being involved in politics in the harem, no one had ever dared to do more. Just words.

The only people in the palace who can give advice to the emperor on government affairs are the Queen Mother and the Empress. Anyone else who dares to say anything should just pretend not to understand.

After coming out of Bitong Academy, Wei Ning'er was still a little confused as to what the emperor meant today and why he said this to her for no reason. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and she finally realized it.
