Chapter 13: Tacit

Unitary time, Yongning Palace
When Leng Qingtang came to greet her, Wan Yuyao, the imperial concubine, was enjoying dinner in the palace. Sitting in front of a table full of rare delicacies, she is wearing a flaming red dress and wearing a golden crown of phoenixes on her head. It is an extremely magnificent picture. The palace servant who accompanied her was the Minglan who had been to the East Factory in the morning.
"Supervisor Leng, how long have you not been here to greet you in this palace?"
After Wan Yuyao looked down, she picked up a piece of young bamboo shoots from the golden plate in front of her and sent it to her mouth, pursing her lips and chewing, never looking at him.
"Weichen recently went out of the Dongchang factory to investigate an important case, but he failed to rush back in time. I hope my mother will forgive me."
Leng Qingtang lowered his eyes and arched his hands, with a faint smile on his face, he came completely prepared.
"It's really busy, no wonder my palace sent Minglan to tell you so many times that you haven't seen your figure. I heard that this time you brought back a handsome young apprentice from outside?"
The news spread quickly
Leng Qingtang chuckled and arched his hands again:
"It's true. Yun Guan'er was recognized by the minister a few years ago. Although he was timid, he was extremely cautious and meticulous. He has been waiting on the side of Gongyuan. Right now, there are many things in the Dongchang factory. Come by and help the Weichen with his affairs."
"Oh? So it's a little eunuch..."
Wan Yuyao murmured to herself, raised the jade (lu) cup, and drank the jelly inside.
Minglan picked up the jade mandarin duck jug at the right time, and filled her cup with wine. The shining eyes raised a height, peeked at Leng Qingtang who was standing across the table, and immediately met his sharp-edged eyes.
It seemed to have been cut by a razor blade, or bitten by a poisonous insect. Ming Lan only felt that her skin was tight and painful when she was stared at it by the sharp, sinister eyes.
Leaning over in panic, he held a pair of public jade chopsticks, chose a spiced bougainvillea, and put it into Wan Yuyao's golden plate.
"Mother, this piece of bird tongue is so cool today~ it's smooth and delicious. I will give you a taste."
Wan Yuyao casually took a sip, lifted her kerchief to clean her lips, then raised her eyes to look at Leng Qingtang standing with her hands down, and said in a loud voice:
"The East Factory is no better than anywhere else, and you need to be rigorous in employing people. But since that little is your apprentice, there is nothing to worry about in this palace. The emperor will take care of the internal and external affairs of the house and you, that's trust in us, this palace. Naturally, I don’t want to make any mistakes, let the emperor be disappointed in this palace, and let those who hate this palace gain momentum."
"The meaning of the empress, the minister naturally understands."
"But come to accompany this palace for a drink? This palace has something to discuss with you today. Sit down!"
Wan Yuyao shook her head slightly to the rose chair closest to Leng Qingtang, and the swaying long ears of the east pearl hibiscus above her head made a fine sound as it swayed.
"Chen Xie Niangniang gave a seat."
Leng Qingtang understood, (thin bao) smiled, walked slowly to the table and sat down.
Minglan added new dishes and silver chopsticks to him, and poured another glass of wine.
"Supervisor, please."
After finishing this with a smile, Minglan retreated to Wan Yuyao wittily and waited for the dispatch.
"Qingtang, this palace does not want to hide from you. Recently, this palace has heard some rumors. In the past, there were those ministers who liked to disturb the emperor and told the emperor that they wanted to set up another Xijishi factory. I really want to come here for you It is very tiring to not only investigate the case but also arrest people, but also to warn the emperor from time to time those (rape jian) unfaithful officials. This time the emperor is really moved and wants to share your worries with Xichang..."
Divide worries or power
Leng Qingtang has always had a good idea of ​​the checks and balances in the Da Yi imperial system
. Right now, I didn't say anything, just listening to Wan Yuyao to continue.
"My palace thought that anyway, the emperor had moved his heart to form a new fan, and that the post of Xichang Supervisor would not be as good as using his own person, so I can rest assured..."
Wan Yuyao paused for a while, then raised a glass and swallowed a glass of wine, then looked at Leng Qingtang again:
"In terms of candidates, can there be people you can trust in Qingtang?"
"I wonder if the empress has a favorite?"
Leng Qingtang and Wan Yuyao looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.
Wan Yuyao squinted at Minglan beside her, bending her red lips, smiling meaningfully:
"You have met Minglan. You have been with this palace for many years, and you are the most compromised and meticulous in your mind. This palace is thinking that if the two factory admirals are both people in the palace, it will be more smooth for you to deal with and do things in the future. What do you think?"
After she finished her words, Wan Yuyao curled up her peachy eyes and looked at Leng Qingtang directly, her sparkling eyes filled with thousands of styles.
Sure enough, things turned out as Cheng Wanli said...
Leng Qingtang smiled and lowered his eyes:
"Since Niang Niang has this intention, the minister has no objection, so she must obey her orders."
Wan Yuyao turned her face silently, and gave Minglan an eye (color).
He knew immediately, picked up the public chopsticks and scratched a piece of white and delicate fish (meat rou) from the back of the vinegar-stuffed dragon boat fish and put it on the plate of Leng Qingtang, and smiled flatly:
"Supervisor, please! From now on, Minglan will rely on the prestige of Governor Leng in everything. In terms of seniority and seniority, Minglan is naturally inferior to Governor Leng..."
Leng Qingtang lowered her eyes and curled her lips, her long eyelashes blocked the handsome Feng's face, making it difficult to see the look in his eyes. He always sits upright, puts his hands in his wide cuffs, and keeps his eyes on the dishes on the table.
Minglan's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he accompanied the smiling face, speaking softly in her voice:
"The end of the month should be the annual intensive exercise of the East Factory squad. I don't know if the superintendent will appreciate his face and invite Minglan to watch one or two, and have the right to learn?"
"If Duke Ming is interested, just go."
Minglan had already seen from Leng Qingtang’s indifferent expression that he was holding back the dry fire. After thinking quickly, he was unwilling and continued to ask:
"In the opinion of the governor, after the establishment of the West Factory, we will need Jinyiwei..."
"Just according to the establishment of the military department, it will be allocated by Leng's East Factory!"
Leng Qingtang stood up suddenly and gave his hand to the opponent Wan Yuyao:
"It's not early, so the empress should also be resettled. If there is no order, the minister will retire, and the east factory still has official affairs to be handled by the minister."
"Go ahead."
Wan Yuyao smiled lightly at him and watched him walk away.
After Qing Lin's majestic back disappeared from the field of vision, Wan Yuyao held a sharp chin in one hand and a golden chopstick in the other, his expression (look) became boring.
After recollecting that clear and handsome face, Wan Yuyao felt a sense of loss in her heart.
It's a pity that such an extraordinary man became a eunuch
In him, Wan Yuyao saw a kind of restraint and calmness that Minglan's age lacked. It was this charm that made Wan Yuyao addicted.
It happened that he treated her sometimes cold and hot (sexual xing), but every time she summoned him, her heart would be overwhelmed by troubles. And the more so, the more she became fascinated by him, a kind of (strong qiang) fierce conquest and possession is increasing day by day.
Minglan has already reduced her flattering smile, staring coldly at the table Leng Qingtang's wine and dishes that have never touched her lips, and her voice is harsh:
"Niang Niang, that Leng Qingtang too disregards you! He didn't even taste the wine and food you rewarded.
Next, this is deliberately not giving you face! The minion had a real look just now, he was unhappy about the emperor's establishment of the West Factory! "
Wan Yuyao received her thoughts upon hearing the sound, her brows were slightly frowned, and she lazily threw the golden chopsticks:
"He is in a high position in the hands of the Superintendent of Li, and he has helped this palace with a lot of things before. It is inevitable that the (sexual xing) son is cold and arrogant. The palace deliberately asked you to please him, just for you in the future The factory is more convenient to do things. After all, there was Leng Qingtang, the governor of the East Factory, before this palace was in the palace. The palace now allows him three points to buy time for your plump wings. No matter how this palace knows. , You are the real "owner" in this palace!"
Minglan was extremely excited, and prostrated himself:
"Minions can learn from the heart of the empress. Empress's respect for slaves is the blessing of the cultivation of Minion III. The slaves will do their best to repay the grace of the empress!"
...
Leng Qingtang and Cheng Wanli, the Qian Xing family, walked all the way in the palace. He didn't want to miss such a good moonlit night. The sedan chair and the attendant Fanwei followed behind and kept a distance from the supervisor.
"Master, you have done so many things for the imperial concubine before, but she still refuses to believe you! It is her who set up a western factory for the birds, and she often blows on the emperor's pillow!"
After listening to Leng Qingtang's various stories in Yongning Palace, Cheng Wanli clenched his fists in hatred and gritted his teeth.
"Huh! Now Wan Yuyao's mind is our emperor's mind. They need to use the East Factory, but also defend the East Factory..."
Leng Qingtang walked straight forward leisurely, speaking in a low voice, without hurries:
"Minglan is a very scheming slave. Just with the help of Wan Yuyao's momentum, he mentioned to the governor that he would transfer Jinyiwei from the East Factory to fill his West Factory. The governor knew well and waited for him to go to Jinyiwei. He will be worried about the position of the commander of Jinyiwei!"
"Ming Lan just climbed up from the inner servant, and he is not proficient in martial arts. Lord, let's sit and see how long his Xichang can stand."
...
While speaking, the group of people walked to the place that was enough to make Leng Qingtang out of the memory, he stopped walking obsessively, and looked sideways not far away.
Cheng Wanli was very familiar with the long-formed habit of the superintendent. Whenever he stopped here and watched by himself, he would always pull out bursts of sorrow in his heart.
With silkworm eyebrows down, Cheng Wanli said quietly behind Leng Qingtang:
"You have to take the Yun girl back, but it's a worry. The girl's brows and eyes are really the same as the Pei Zhangshan back then. In the dark, God finally rewarded you..."
Leng Qingtang was silent, standing with his back hands upright, as if he didn't catch the words of the thousand adults in his ears.
Cheng Wanli frowned tightly, his emotions suddenly raging:
"Master, for many years, your subordinates have understood what you are thinking about! Girl Yun, she..."
"The Governor has always understood that Zhang Zhan is Pei Zhang Zan, Yun Xi... is Yun Xi!"
Leng Qingtang spoke suddenly, cutting off the second half of Cheng Wanli's sentence.
In the night of Mi (color), the plain and faint voice streamed (exposed) the grief of Wanwan. Subai's handsome face dripped under the cold white moonlight, making it even weaker and more exhausted:
"Thousands of miles, the Governor owes the Zheng family a lot. Zheng Guogong's great favor, even if the Governor is overthrown in this life, he can't pay it back! Now, the Governor just wants to protect her well, hold her in his hand, and quietly Watching her grow up quietly, this is the only way the Governor... can repay the Zheng family."
