Chapter 959 Old Mansion

In the early morning, Kunning Gate was shrouded in moist mist, tangled between the grand palaces.

The sun has not come out yet, and the light is a bit hazy. At this time, Kunning Palace is not so bright, and it looks quiet and mysterious.

The eunuch of Silijian, Wang Gui, just came over and saw some palace servants cleaning the bricks and floors in the square, and a group of palace maids were walking slowly on the corridor.

Whenever the palace maids arrived at a lampstand, they opened the lid of the lampstand and raised the unburned lanterns inside to blow out.

There are many people here in the morning, all of whom are doing their own things; probably because they often do these things, people look very natural.

Wang Gui suddenly remembered that the morning of ordinary people and the situation of cleaning up the courtyard after getting up seemed to be somewhat similar to the situation in front of him, at least the expression on people's faces was a bit similar.

People in the entire palace were serving the emperor, but perhaps the palace people felt that they were just doing their own things?

At this moment, Cao Fu also came.Cao Fu quickly walked to Wang Gui, bent down and said: Goodbye, godfather.

Wang Gui first nodded calmly to respond, then suddenly slapped his forehead and sighed: There is another thing in our family that I almost forgot.You stay here to save yourself a while. The emperor wants to ask someone for instructions if he has something to do, but he can't find it.

Cao Fu said: My son is here to serve him, godfather, don’t worry.

Wang Gui made a sound, turned around and walked out of Kunning Gate.He wanted to go to the Silijian Yamen in the imperial city, but he had to go to Xihuamen to leave the palace first, because there was no gate directly out of the palace on the side of the harem.

Go out of Xihua Gate, and then Wang Gui walked west to the north gate in the middle of the road, so that he could reach the office location of the inner palace prisons.

Sure enough, Meng Ji, who was in charge of the position of Sili Supervisor, was already in the yamen.

As soon as Wang Gui entered the lobby, Meng Ji and other eunuchs came up to greet him diligently.

Meng Ji ordered someone: Go and make a cup of morning tea for Eunuch Wang.

Don't bother, do your own things.Wang Guidao, Eunuch Meng comes with me.

Meng Ji bowed and agreed.

The two of them walked through the hall and found a room to go in.Wang Gui sat down on the chair and greeted: Find a place to sit, our family will explain to you an errand.

yes.Meng Ji bowed again.

Wang Gui continued: The post-Emperor Emperor and the Empresses are going to the old mansion to appreciate the peonies. The emperor hasn't been to that place for a long time, so today you can go to tidy up the items, use, and see what is missing.

There are also people inside, please ask.Now the front yard is where the people from the Northern Department of the Guardian Department are. Many of these people are old subordinates of the emperor. Please find a few managers to ask about the situation.In the garden behind, we didn’t care much before, so you can also take a look and prepare things safely.

It was all simple things. Meng Ji showed a relaxed expression and said: Let's go there later.

Seeing this, Wang Gui said in a deep voice: As long as it is a matter in the palace, you cannot be careless.There was an accident before. When Mrs. Guo left the palace to appreciate the flowers, she was besieged by bees and got rid of the child after falling into the water.Later, my family heard that Mrs. Guo’s clothes were tampered with honey, and she could not be neglected.

Meng Ji's expression calmed down and he hurriedly said: Our family must ask carefully.

Wang Gui nodded, then said in a daze: By the way, there is another one. When the empresses were all together, the emperor didn't say much. I think the empresses talk, but the emperor seems to have nothing to say. You prepare some things to relieve boredom in the back garden, chess, books, or palace maids who can play and sing.

Meng Ji was stunned for a moment before clasping his fists and said: Our family understands.

After Wang Gui finished speaking, he stood up and Meng Ji hurriedly sent him out.

...Meng Ji was originally an eunuch promoted during Emperor Taizong's reign. During the Hongxi Dynasty, he was often excluded from the palace because he was suspected of being a party of Zheng He.

Because of this, when he arrived at the Wude Dynasty, he returned to the Sili Supervisory Bureau.

But even so, he is still different from the eunuchs who came from the Han Palace.

Since Eunuch Wang is so cautious about the matter, why should he let Meng Ji take care of it?

Meng Ji then thought that there were probably many people in the old mansion, whether they were soldiers guarding the Northern Office of the Ministry of Justice or the servants who stayed behind to take care of the mansion.

Eunuch Wang knew what was going on as soon as he asked, why should Meng Ji worry about it?

However, Meng Ji still handled the errands of the king's public service and asked the people in the old mansion.

In the afternoon, Meng Jicai came to the back garden and met the real la woman Yisuwa.

When they met, Yisuwa bowed with her hands together and said in Chinese: Eunuch Meng, long time no see.

When Meng Ji heard this, she suddenly felt that her Chinese language had improved a lot.Last year, she could only say words like "lucky" and now she can say some more complete words.

Isuwa's slightly curly hair was tied up, a golden crown on her head, and a double-breasted robe. She was still not as good as a real woman.

The Zhenla Kingdom is hot all year round and there is less clothing on her body, which is not enough in the Ming Dynasty, so she wore a robe outside and her chest was very tight, which made the robe inappropriate, but the cut in other places was quite appropriate.

Mrs. Goodbye?Meng Ji also replied.

Neither of them looked like a Han Chinese, and Meng Ji was a Xifan Semen, but his clothes were exactly the same as those of the Han Chinese.

Yisuwa looked at Meng Ji with deep eyes. She hesitated for a moment before saying: No. ok.

It seems that her Chinese language is not very good, and she is far from Chen Xianzhen, an Annan native.

Her figure and appearance have not changed much, but she seems to be a little thinner than last year, and her eyebrows are also depressed. Meng Ji asked slowly: Madam, are you still used to living here?

Yisuwa said in a daze: Everything is OK.

Meng Ji nodded and said slowly: The day after tomorrow, the emperor is coming here to enjoy the flowers with the queen and concubines.

Yisuwa said: His Majesty the Emperor is coming?

Meng Ji nodded and asked: Are you going to enjoy the flowers?

Yisuva shook her head and said: I appreciate the flowers every day.

Meng Ji frowned and said: What’s important is that the emperor wants to appreciate the flowers. Are you willing to pay homage to the emperor here?

Yisuwa raised her hand and made trivial gestures. She was a little anxious at first, but then she looked a little depressed.She said with difficulty: Concubines, here.

Meng Ji pondered for a while and said: Madam, are you afraid of embarrassment in front of the concubines?

Yisuwa nodded first, then shook her head and sighed. It was obvious that Meng Ji's understanding was not very accurate.

Isuwa was a queen in Zhenla Kingdom. He heard that he was also involved in government affairs. He was obviously a very thoughtful woman, but his language was not very smooth and even slightly more complicated communication was difficult at this time.

Meng Ji thought for a while and said: You can ignore the concubine.He pointed at himself with his finger and said, "Our family arrangement."

Yisuwa's attitude seemed not sure. She first tried to explain something, and then looked at Meng Ji and shook her head.

Meng Ji suddenly felt that maybe someone who knows the truth should be introduced to the translation today, so that he could understand the reason and convince Yisuwa.

He rubbed his hands and frowned and thought for a while, and slowly said: I am lucky to be here, if you don’t welcome you, you will be rude.

Yisuva's eyes kept observing Meng Ji.

Her eyes are bigger, and her big eyes are often less concentrated, but Isuva probably has deeper eyes and looks very bright.

She was silent for a while, and finally looked at Meng Ji and sighed slightly, compromising: I only see Your Majesty.

Meng Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: This is very good.

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to Isuva.

It was really hard for the two to talk. Meng Ji explained the matter clearly, so he didn't want to say more.

Then Meng Ji left the old mansion and went straight back to the palace, because there was still one day tomorrow, so there was no need to worry too much about everything.

Meng Ji walked into the palace by Xihuamen.When he passed by Wuying Gate, he happened to meet Qian Xun, the right envoy of the Guardian Secretariat. Meng Ji hurried forward and took the lead in paying homage.

After a few greetings, Qian Xun asked: Eunuch Meng seems to have followed the fleet and gone to the West?

Meng Ji said: Our family has followed Eunuch Wang and General Chen to Zhenla Kingdom. What?

Qian Xun said: Two years ago, a book of "Translation" appeared in the court. Because the court prohibited private publication, it was only circulated among court officials.Recently, a school called the "False Things School" has appeared in the Shilin. Some people are asking about the source of this book.It is said that Yao Fang from the Pingyi Hou family made friends with foreign vassals and collected them. Does Eunuch Meng know about these things?

Meng Ji thought about it and said: Yao Fang has never been to the West, he has been to Japan.Our family is not sure what happened in Japan.

Qian Xun said calmly: What I mean, are there any foreign vassals in the fleet?

Meng Ji shook his head and said: I have never seen it before.

Qian Xun hurriedly bowed and said: Thank you, I'll just ask.Some people think that Yao Fang is a god and the beginning of those knowledge. I know Yao Fang, but he cannot have that insight.

Mr. Yao does not seem to be a person with too much knowledge.Meng Ji agreed and asked casually, "What book is so magical?"

Qian Xun said: It’s hard to explain it in just a few words.This book should be found in the palace. Eunuch Meng found a book and read it yourself.

Meng Ji didn't care too much after hearing this, and thought to himself that Wang Gui and Cao Fu knew more.It's just a book, Meng Ji didn't ask much.

He was more concerned about what was happening in front of him.

He looked up at the sky and said that it was another sunny day, but he could not see any clues in the next two days.

According to officials from the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau, these days have been sunny these days, but I don’t know if there is any mistake.

At this time, Qian Xun's voice said: I'm going to guard the Nanshi Office of the Ministry of Justice, Eunuch Meng, say goodbye.

Meng Ji withdrew his gaze and hurriedly held the whisk and said: Qian Youzhang slowly, there will be a date later.

As soon as Qian Xun left, Meng Ji immediately went to find Cao Fu.After seeing Yisuwa today, Meng Ji thought about it and told Cao Fu that it would be better. After all, when Wang Gui explained it today, he was just a hint.
