"What's wrong?" Min Yiyi asked, yawning. "Let's talk about it later. I'm tired and want to go back and rest."
Concubine Chun looks very energetic, isn't she even tired? "Why?" Concubine Chun looked extremely complicated, "Why do you want to tell me?"
Min Yiyi half-closed her eyelids: "What are you telling me?"
Concubine Chun: "Three animals, someone replaced the fish with a piece of meat."
Min Yiyi woke up a little: "...Oh! I just reminded you casually, but I didn't expect that something really went wrong?"
"Queen, stop pretending!" Concubine Chun asked angrily, "Why on earth?"
Min Yiyi: "I really don't know what happened, I just said it casually! I got up too early and was very sleepy, so I went back first."
She turned around to leave, but Concubine Chun shouted: "Queen!"
Min Yiyi: "Huh?"
Concubine Chun: "Don't be too proud! Let's wait and see!"
Min Yiyi was so sleepy by her harsh words: "...Ah? Shouldn't you thank me? Why are you still calling for a battle?"
Concubine Chun: "Thank you? Yes! Concubine, thank you! But I put the ugly words first. You told me yourself on your own initiative. I didn't ask you! I don't owe you anything!"
Min Yiyi looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell you the truth. In fact, you took care of the chores of the Sixth Palace for me, allowing me to live a leisurely life. I am very grateful to you. I am afraid that you I've lost my palace power, so I'm telling you. You don't have to feel that you owe me a favor."
Chun Fei's expression gradually solidified.
"Go back to the palace! You're going to die from the sun!" While she was dazed, Min Yiyi left quickly.
The weather had begun to get hot, and her heavy clothes were worn down, and her inner clothes were soaked with sweat.
I went back to have lunch, took off my makeup, took a shower, and had a refreshing sleep. When I got up, it was already evening.
She stretched herself out of the bedroom and suddenly discovered that Di Hanxin was sitting cross-legged on her couch, reading something.
He tiptoed over and took a look, and what he saw was actually her wish list! After I finished writing it, I conveniently placed it in the compartment a few doors down from the couch. I have been so busy these past few days that I forgot to put it away!
She was startled and reached out to snatch it away. However, a big hand pressed down accurately and pressed her hand on the paper.
Min Yiyi: "Your Majesty! Why are you peeking at my things!"
Di Hanxin grabbed her hand and moved it away from the paper, but did not let go of her: "Wish list?"
Min Yiyi didn't answer, but peeked up there secretly. She didn't write anything that shouldn't be written, right?
"What does this mean?" Di Hanxin had no intention of letting her go and kept grabbing her.
Min Yiyi: "That's it...that's what it means literally! It's just a wish!"
"What is this?" Di Hanxin pointed to the bottom, where a cute arrow was drawn, pointing to one word: home.
Min Yiyi didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Most of your wishes are ordinary things that will happen every year in the future, such as banquets for the six tribes, New Year celebrations, sacrifices, hunting, etc. Why are they called wishes?" Di Hanxin asked her, " Why do you think I mean to go home after doing this?"
Min Yiyi: "...Well...no, the emperor has always disliked me. I always feel that sooner or later you will depose or kill me, so I made these wish lists, hoping to complete them before I leave. It’s not a waste to be a queen.”
Di Hanxin frowned.
The three months of neglecting her had hurt her badly.
She was already prepared to be crippled or even die, and even her wish was so humble...
While he was distracted, Min Yiyi broke free from his control, sat opposite him, and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Di Hanxin: "What did you say?" "I said?"
"Can you fall asleep during the sacrifice? Let me see if there is something wrong with your head!" Di Hanxin said angrily.
Min Yiyi: "Ah... this... I got up early and was very sleepy. Fortunately, the emperor reminded me. Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Fortunately, Di Hanxin did not pursue it. After insulting her, he continued to look down at her wish list. His eyes stayed on "Meet the characters in the Dream of Red Mansions" and asked: "What does red, building, and dream mean?" "
In this world, there is no Cao Xueqin, and there is no book "Dream of Red Mansions".
It's just that the author substituted the characters in the Red Mansion as a small branch.
Min Yiyi scratched the back of her head and said, "Yes... it's a playbook. The boss said that the stories written in it are real people and real events. I particularly like the characters in it and want to see the real people with my own eyes."
Di Hanxin shook his head in disbelief: "Do you believe this? There are such words in the playbook, but they are just to attract attention."
Min Yiyi: "Really..."
Di Hanxin's eyes stayed on the item of "traveling among the people" again, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said: "These wishes of yours... are really simple."
Min Yiyi: "Simple wishes are easy to come true - by the way, Your Majesty, I have one more wish!"
Di Hanxin: "What?"
"It's the money that was stolen from the public account!" Min Yiyi said, "It would be great if you could pay it back to me quickly!"
Di Hanxin didn't ask anything like "Are you short of money?" this time.
It was obvious that she was short of money.
Otherwise, Min Zhongze would not have asked again and again, and Min Zhongze would have brought her a banknote to the palace.
But, the prime minister's palace didn't give her any money?How many times have you asked him for a mere few hundred taels?
"Wang Fugui!" Di Hanxin shouted.
Wang Fugui, who was outside the door, stepped in: "Your Majesty."
Di Hanxin: "Call Shen Huaian."
"Yes!" Wang Fugui went.
Lu Yun greeted people and carried out the red sandalwood gauze embroidered seat screen. When Shen Huai'an arrived, he kowtowed outside the screen to say hello.
Di Hanxin said: "I heard that the Queen wants to help the Queen Mother embroider pictures. You asked the Queen for 520 and five taels?"
Shen Huaian said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is in a hurry. We don't have time to go through the formal procedures, so we have to pay the cash first."
"Ha!" Di Hanxin laughed, "Shen Huai'an, the Queen is new here. It's enough for you to blind her, but also to me?"
Shen Huaian: "Why did the emperor say this?"
Di Hanxin: "Prince Yu, as well as the principals and managers of your Seventh Division and Three Courts, who has urgent matters other than keeping accounts? How come you have to pay in cash when you get to the Queen?"
Shen Huai'an, who has been enjoying spicy food with Prince Yu these years, is also drifting away. He looks at the emperor who has just reached his prime, so he doesn't know all the inside stories of the huge palace. In addition, the queen is already disliked by the emperor, so The reply was quite casual.
But when he heard what Di Hanxin said, he suddenly panicked. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is easy for us to settle accounts within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Queen cannot handle the internal accounts, so we have to cash in cash. This has been the case for many years." It’s the old rules!”
"Your Majesty." Min Yiyi pretended to be innocent and puzzled, "I have always thought that the Internal Affairs Office is equivalent to a housekeeper, taking the Emperor's money and doing things for the Emperor. Why did you listen to this Lord Shen? It's not like this. It’s easy and quick for them to do things by themselves. How can I, a concubine and a queen, have to ask him for money to do something? Don’t the money and things they have in their hands belong to our family? Has it become theirs? "
