Chapter 959 Old House

In the early morning, Kunning Gate was shrouded in moist mist, lingering between the grand palaces. The sun had not yet come out and the light was a little hazy. At this time, Kunning Palace was not so bright, and it seemed quiet and mysterious.

As soon as the eunuch of Silijian Wang Gui came over, he saw some palace servants cleaning the bricks and floors in the square. A group of palace maids walked slowly on the corridor. Whenever the palace maids arrived at a place of a lampstand, they opened the lid of the lampstand and raised the unburned lanterns inside to blow out.

There were many people here in the morning, all of whom were doing their own things; probably because they often did these things, people looked very natural. Wang Gui suddenly remembered that in the morning of ordinary people, the scene of the people getting up and cleaning up the courtyard 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, "Godfather is a good person."

Wang Gui nodded calmly first, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "There is one thing in our family that I almost forgot. You can stay here to save you a while. If the emperor has something to do, he wants to ask someone to give me instructions, 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 could only go to Xihua Gate to leave the palace first, because there was no door to leave the palace directly on the side of the harem.

Go out by 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 people: "Go and make morning tea for Eunuch Wang."

"Don't mess around, everyone do their own things." Wang Gui said, "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, "Let's find a place to sit, and our family will explain a job to you."

"Yes." Meng Ji bowed again.

Wang Gui continued: "The Emperor and the Empresses are going to the old mansion to appreciate the peonies. The Emperor hasn't been there for a long time. Today, you can go to clean up the items and find out what is missing.

There are also people inside, so I asked about it. Now the front yard is where the people guarding the Northern Department of the Ministry of Justice are there. Many of these people are old subordinates of the emperor. If you ask a few managers for the situation, we didn’t care much before in the back garden. You can also take a look and prepare for things safely."

It was all simple things. Meng Ji showed a relaxed expression and said, "We will go there later."

Seeing this, Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "Anything that is a matter in the palace, you can't 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, our family heard that Mrs. Guo's clothes were tampered with honey, so she could not be neglected."

Meng Ji's expression was calm and he hurriedly said, "Our family must ask carefully."

Wang Gui nodded, then said in a sudden tone: "By the way, there is another thing. When the empresses are all together, the emperor doesn't say much. I think the empresses are talking, and the emperor doesn't seem to have much to say. You prepare some things to relieve your boredom, chess, books, or palace maids who can play and sing in the back garden."

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 by the palace because he was suspected of being the Zheng He party. Because of this, when he arrived at the Wude Dynasty, he returned to the Silijian. However, even so, he was still different from those eunuchs from the Han Palace.

Since Eunuch Wang was so cautious about the matter, why did he have to 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 in the Northern Office of the Ministry of Justice or the servants who stayed behind to take care of the mansion. Eunuch Wang knew what the situation was like when he asked, why should Meng Ji worry about it?

However, Meng Ji still handled the errands of the errands of the king 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 put his hands together and bowed in Chinese, saying, "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 know", but 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, and she was still not like a Zhenla woman. The Zhenla country was hot all year round and there was less clothing on her body, which was not enough in the Ming Dynasty, so she wore a robe outside and her chest was very tight, which made her look inappropriate, but the cut in other places was quite appropriate.

"Madam, come here, okay?" 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, "It's okay."

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 is here, are you still used to living?"

Yisuva was a little confused and said, "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."

Yisuva 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, "The important thing 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, then looked a little depressed. She said with difficulty: "Pretties, here."

Meng Ji pondered for a while and said, "Madam, are you afraid of embarrassment when you are 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. Yisuwa 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, so even a little 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 he should bring someone who knows the truth to translate today, so that he could convince Yisuwa with reason. He rubbed his hands and frowned for a while, and said slowly: "I wish you were so rude if you don't welcome him."

Yisuwa's eyes kept observing Meng Ji. Her eyes were bigger, and her big eyes were often not so focused, but Yisuwa probably had deeper eyes and looked very vivid. 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, "It's so good."

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to Yisuwa. It was really hard for the two of them to talk. Meng Ji explained the matter clearly and did not 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 Xihua Gate. When he passed by Wuying Gate, he happened to meet Qian Xun, the right envoy of the Nan Office of the Guardian. 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: "What's the matter with our family, following Eunuch Wang and General Chen, to Zhenla Kingdom?"

Qian Xun said: "Two years ago, a book "Translation" appeared in the court. Because the court prohibited private publication, it was only circulated among court officials. Recently, a school called the "Fake Things School" appeared in the scholars. 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 and compiled them. Does Eunuch Meng know these things?"

Meng Ji thought about it and said, "Yao Fang has never been to the West, he has been to Japan. What happened in Japan is, our family will not know."

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

Meng Ji shook his head and said, "I haven't 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 knowledge. I know Yao Fang, but he can't have that knowledge."

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

Qian Xun said: "It is difficult to explain clearly in just a few words. This book should be found in the palace. Eunuch Meng found a book and read it yourself."

After hearing this, Meng Ji didn't care too much. He said to himself that Wang Gui and Cao Fu might know more. It was just a book, so 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 saw 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 he did not know if there was any mistake.

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

Meng Ji withdrew his gaze and hurriedly held the whisk and said, "Run the right hand, there will be a date later."

When 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 today, he was just a hint.
