The Dance of E-book in Guan Yin Temple

  "The master's wife, Madame Du, requests an audience." Da Man walked in and said.

  As expected, just as Yu heard, when the time came, the toxicity would naturally dissipate. So, Daiman had already recovered and was now standing in front of him again to serve.

  After this, the slaves in the palace naturally became more united and, under Su Jing's hint and Ting Yao's explicit statement, they understood that they were not to be bullied by others. Of course, these "others" referred to people from other palaces. Moved, they also became even more devoted to Su Jing.

  Su Jing raised an eyebrow "What did she say"

  It seems she had come to see me before, this is the second time.

  "Let her in," said Deidman, shaking his head as he stood up.

  Du Wan'er walked in with the palace maid, and even though she didn't look around, everything that caught her eye was a display of luxury and grandeur. For example, the chair she was sitting on now, made of red sandalwood with gold trim and precious stones, as well as the matching desk, were all intricately carved with patterns so complex and exquisite that they left her breathless.

  The palace maid who led her in was also dignified and well-behaved, it was clear that she had been well-trained. Du Wanxiang suppressed the emotions in her heart, picked up the tea cup on the desk, and as soon as she touched it, she knew it was a high-quality golden silk sea beast porcelain cup. She took a shallow sip, it was this year's new tribute of Huatou Yunwu tea, which she had been fortunate enough to taste once before at the Empress Dowager's place.

  "Laudu, you've waited for a long time." Su Jing changed into another outfit and rearranged her hair before coming out. It wasn't to make things difficult for her, but the previous attire was just casual home wear, not suitable for receiving guests.

  Du Wanxian heard the sound and hastily stood up to pay her respects "The servant girl Du Wanxian has arrived"

  "Please get up, Madam Du." Su Jing sat down beside her. "I don't know what brings you here this time, Madam Du."

  Du Wan was taken aback and hadn't expected her to be so direct, not even giving her a chance to exchange a few pleasantries before shifting her gaze onto her body, leaving her somewhat stunned.

  What makes a beauty is that she has the appearance of flowers, the voice of birds, the spirit of the moon, the manner of willows, the bones of jade, the skin of ice and snow, and the posture of autumn water. Although it's not as exaggerated as that, at this moment, Du Yuanyuan suddenly felt that her looks could make the surrounding things lose their luster.

  Unlike the reserve and elegance of her first selection into the palace, at this moment she seems to have opened up a bit. Her features appear even more refined, especially those eyes that shine like clear waves, with a gentle gaze that seems to capture one's soul.

  Du Wan had never looked at her so closely before, always just a glance from afar. Seeing that she didn't respond, Du Wan slightly furrowed her eyebrows and came back to herself. "To be honest, sister, I've come this time because I have no other choice. Please, elder sister Jing, can you help me out?"

  Su Jing raised her teacup and took a sip, ignoring her words and instead turning to the person beside her and saying "Didn't Ben Niang say not to go up to Yunwu?"

  Dai Man hastily made a bow beside him, "Master forgives the crime, I'm afraid it was Xiang who misunderstood Master's taste. The slave will immediately have someone replace it with Bi Luo Chun for Master."

  Su Jing nodded and turned around, hooking up the corner of her mouth. "Du Guiren said to which one, continue saying."

  Du Wanxiang couldn't tell whether her actions were intentional or unintentional, so she had to bring up the thoughts that had been weighing on her mind for a long time. "Sister, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, but sister has no way out and our mother's days are numbered, so sister is really worried."

  As she spoke, Du Wanxiao took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, glancing at the person opposite her with tears in her eyes. She saw that they were holding a teacup and taking small sips, their face calm and serene without any other expression.

  Fortunately, she had been mentally prepared since the day Du Wanru told her the news. She thought for a long time and went to ask the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager dismissed her on the grounds of poor health, only rewarding her with some ordinary medicine that was not very useful.

  She then went to beg Shu Guifei, but was dismissed without even seeing her face. After wandering around with no place to go, she thought for a long time and decided to try her luck at the Gongzhong Palace.

  "Zhen sister, you also have a mother and must know the depth of a mother's love for her children. When your mother is in trouble, as a child, you should repay and assist her wholeheartedly."

  Su Jing sighed and had to admit that her words really moved her. If she chose to kneel for a long time or use other means to coerce her, she would have chosen to ignore her and directly send someone to dismiss her.

  "After thinking for a moment, 'How can I help you?' "

  Du Wanxi knelt on the ground, "I only ask Sister Zhen to help me think of a way to see if my mother is really beyond cure. If it's true, then let my mother pass away peacefully. But if there's still hope, please help me, I'm willing to do anything to repay you."

  Su Jing gave a signal and Dai Man stepped forward to help her up. "You get up first, Ben Piao can't guarantee whether she will really be able to help you, but Ben Piao will send someone to the Shang Gong Bureau to say something about how to do it among them."

  Su Jing wouldn't be foolish enough to send someone from her own household to help her visit her mother. If something were to happen at the Du residence, it might not lead to punishment, but she didn't want to stir up unnecessary trouble after all. The two of them didn't have a close relationship, and it wasn't like they had reached a point where she would go that far for her.

  Du Wan didn't think she would choose to do it this way, although the Shang Gong Bureau is indeed in charge of handling external affairs and entering the palace. It's natural for them to take care of such things. But this way, it's clear that no one from the Gong Palace can intimidate the Du family like this.

  She admitted that she indeed wanted to borrow Su Jing's power to make the Du family people not dare to bully her mother, but after the empress and Shu Guifei, it was actually not easy for Su Jing to do so.

  Afraid of saying too much, she would get impatient and eventually not even want to help in this way. After all, the person she sent was more useful than Du Wanxiang herself going, because she had already tried before, either pretending to agree on the surface but forgetting behind her back, or just going through the motions.

  "Many thanks, dear sister Zhen"

  Su Jing shook her head, "No need to be polite, Ben Piao didn't help you with anything. But rest assured, I will send someone from the Shang Gong Bureau to make an announcement. There should be news by tomorrow."

  Upon hearing this, Du Wan slightly calmed down and nodded solemnly, bowing her head to express gratitude. "This servant thanks Sister Zhen. If in the future, Sister Zhen..."

  "It's not necessary," Su Jing cut her off before she could finish speaking. "Today, helping Ben Bo is just a matter of lifting a hand, it's not just you, even if someone else were to encounter Ben Bo when she's in a good mood, Ben Bo would still be willing to help."

  Du Wanxiang knew that she said so in order not to bear the consequences, and she could understand it herself. However, since she helped herself, it was her own business how to repay her. Du Wanxiang wasn't someone who didn't know how to repay kindness either.

  "Zhen sister Du Liangyuan is pregnant and will probably give birth in a few days. The imperial physician has said that the baby is a boy."

  Su Jing raised an eyebrow "Is that so? You're sisters after all, taking care of each other is only right"

  Du Wan saw her calmly and couldn't tell what she was thinking. She didn't say much when she heard the words, some things just needed to be hinted at. "It's only right that it should be so, I've disturbed Sister Zhen for a long time, I'll take my leave now."

  Su Jing nodded and watched her back disappear, furrowing her brow in thought.

  "Is it true that Du Liang's wife is having a boy?"

  "No matter what, it has nothing to do with Ben Pei." Su Jing got up and sat for a long time, her waist was a bit sore. She really became more and more pampered. "Go get some food for Ben Pei."

  "Yes" replied Dieman, indeed there was no great connection

  Hall of Imperial Brilliance

  "The emperor, these days the Luoyang area has been severely drought-stricken and there are people spreading rumors to deceive the hearts of the people. The voices of discontent among the commoners are overflowing, I fear that if this continues it will not be beneficial for the stability of the people's minds." Yu Zai Shang stood in the great hall, his voice filled with pain.

  Meng Wen Tian always liked to pick on him "Yu Daren seems to be quite familiar with Lucheng"

  Yu Zai Shang and Meng Wen Tian had long been at odds with each other, their animosity growing more intense by the day. "This official is concerned about the suffering of the common people, who are busy farming, and now is the time when they most lack rainwater. How can Meng Gong be so infatuated with the daughters of noble families, busily arranging his marriage?"

  These days, Meng Wentian was indeed constantly looking for a suitable woman, but it was because his mother kept pressuring him that he had no choice but to go. He didn't look at many and still didn't have any feelings, so he got impatient and hid in the palace instead.

  "It seems that Lord Yu is also very concerned about my marriage, but I wonder if there are any suitable women in the Yu family who would be willing to marry me?" Meng Wentian said with a smile. "However, Lord Yu should also know that I have high standards and those inferior goods shouldn't be sent to the Meng manor under the pretext of serving me while I'm ill."

  This is a satire of his previous act of sending Yu Fu into the palace on this pretext

  "You" Yu Zaixiang was just about to speak again but was interrupted

  "That's enough." Zong Zhengjin spoke in a light tone, yet full of majesty. "This is not a place for you to quarrel, do you even put me in your eyes?"

  Meng Wentian and Yu Zaixiang had no choice but to kneel on the ground, "Your humble servant does not dare ask Your Majesty for pardon"

  Zong Zhengjin threw a few folded papers from the dragon table in front of them, "I didn't let you be officials just to talk nonsense. Can't you do something useful? If not, then leave office immediately!"

  "Your Majesty, in a few days it will be the day of the ancestral sacrifice. Your Majesty might as well pray for blessings and rain." Yu Zai Shang knocked his head and said.

  Zong Zhengjin furrowed his brow "Does the prime minister think this is useful?"

  "I humbly think that to a certain extent, offering sacrifices and praying for agricultural affairs can calm people's minds and temporarily delay the situation."

  "What's next?"

  "Afterwards, perhaps the heavens will send down rain." The prime minister's voice was somewhat lacking in confidence, but he still spoke in a firm tone.

  "Then let's do it as the prime minister said."
