Director Su looked at Director De and said seriously: "Don't worry too much."

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

Director De stared blankly at Director Su's back, frowned, a little puzzled as to why he said these words. He carefully recalled the recent events, and did not find out what he did wrong.

Director De turned around in doubt, Ouyang Shangshu was talking to the emperor in the hall.

Director De went in quietly, stood beside the emperor and bowed his head to listen to the announcement.

Although he lowered his head, he kept paying attention to the movements in the palace. This is a skill that every servant and maid in the palace who can survive to serve in the Qinzheng Palace has learned.

As the chief eunuch, Director De is even more familiar with this trick. Although he lowers his head, he can see Ouyang Shangshu standing in the hall, every movement in the hall, and even the emperor's expression. He can occasionally peep at it.

Inadvertently, he swept across the cheese on the imperial case, the bowl of cheese had been used up, and the strong tea he brewed was placed beside it.

Director De's heart beat slightly, and before he had time to think deeply, he heard Ouyang Shangshu sigh and advise: "Your Majesty, although state affairs are important, your body is also very important. I think your complexion is not good, but you can't rest well?"

The emperor smiled and said: "I have been busy these few days, it will be fine after a while." He picked up the booklet on the table and handed it to Director De, then changed the subject and said: "Since Ai Qing also agreed, then Let the Ministry of Rites prepare it, and I will send someone to draw up an order."

Director De immediately came back to his senses, the emperor had promised to give Mrs. Gu a royal seal.

Thinking of Manager Su's point just now, and remembering the news he heard by chance, Manager De immediately took the folder with a smile and bowed his waist and handed it to Ouyang Shangshu.

Others may not know it, but he has received the news that Director Su was able to go to Taikang Palace to be honored and raised. A large part of the reason is that Gu Jingyun once mentioned a word to the Supreme Emperor.

Otherwise, Mr. Su, no matter how senior he is, he will still be raised by Gong Rong when he gets older.

No matter how much money he saves, when he leaves the palace, he is just an eunuch who has lost his power. When he is old and frail, who can serve him?

How do you know that the servants invited will not abuse him, steal his money, or even kill him? Such things are not uncommon among eunuchs.

Therefore, the eunuchs are the most keen on accepting godsons, especially those who are related to blood, not only because of the obsession with not being able to pass on the family line, but also because they want to be dependent when they grow old, and when they can't walk or get up, someone can make a bed The former dutiful son served them to eat and drink.

You can die with dignity, and some people even throw pots and flags, and you won't even have a burnt paper money when you go underground.

No matter how they were favored in the palace during their lifetime, everyone will be the same outside the palace.

The respectable ones, like Eunuch Su, can enjoy a small courtyard when they leave the palace, and send a little eunuch to wait on them.

But this is also not safe, who will remember him as an old eunuch who is about to die when he leaves the palace?

It was Gu Jingyun who spoke to the Supreme Emperor when Director Su was leaving the palace, and the Supreme Emperor let Director Su stay in Taikang Palace for the elderly, and still be the chief eunuch, but he didn't have to take care of everything, just be raised in Taikang Palace, occasionally Just talk to the Supreme Emperor and relax.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Director Su accepted a child as an apprentice, and asked him to worship him as a godfather, and danced with him, while all the apprentices he had accepted before were released.

He is in the palace, he is taken care of by his apprentices, he has connections from the past, and he has a relationship with the Supreme Emperor. Who would dare to neglect him?

And he has a thoughtful and kind-hearted godson by his side, so what is there to regret in his life?

It can be said that Director Su's present is the ultimate goal of Director De and many eunuchs in the palace.

Director De is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad. What Director Su said before was obviously reminding him. He didn't know what he did wrong before.

But now looking at the cup of strong tea and the empty bowl of cheese on the emperor's table, and listening to Ouyang Shangshu's advice to the emperor to take care of his health, how could he not know what mistake he made?

He made a mistake in not fulfilling his duty as a slave!

As a slave, his master's highest interest is his goal. Unfortunately, he didn't see through this before, let alone what His Majesty's highest interest is.

Director De handed the booklet to Ouyang Shangshu, then stepped back slowly, naturally raised the strong tea in front of the emperor's table, and stepped back for a cup of almond tea.

He had just finished drinking the milk, and now he was drinking hot almond tea again. The emperor felt even more sleepy, and he rubbed his forehead involuntarily.

Ouyang Shangshu got up and said goodbye with a wink, saying that the Ministry of Rites will soon prepare the Taifu's reward and the clothes and jewelry for the new imperial edict.

After Ouyang Shangshu left, Director De stepped forward and said softly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't you lie down in the inner room, this memorial can never be finished, so I'm not in a hurry."

The emperor frowned slightly.

Director De recalled what Director Su said before, and said softly: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't think about yourself, you should think about the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother. If they know that you are tired, they will be so worried."

The emperor just got up, "Then I'm going to lie down for a while, you watch the time, call me in two quarters of an hour."

Manager De responded with a full mouth, and hurried to make the emperor's bed.

Two quarters of an hour later, Director De thought about it, then stepped forward and called the emperor softly, and retreated when he saw that he turned over and continued to sleep.

The emperor slept straight into the night, and when he woke up, he saw that it was pitch black outside, and his face turned blue immediately.

Director De knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty is really tired, and this servant really can't bear to scream deeply, so..."

The emperor shook his sleeves and said, "Go down and receive the punishment."

In this way, it is not enough to follow the example if it is not punished.

Manager De took the board, but he was still the manager, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding Gu Jingyun's matter, the palace and the Sixth Department never dared to neglect, especially when it came to Gu Jingyun's urgent matter, everyone dared not be slow, for fear that he would come to cause trouble.

Therefore, Hanlin, who was walking in front of the imperial court, quickly drafted the imperial decree according to the emperor's wishes, and handed it over to the emperor for stamping the next day, and then found a team of servants and guards to deliver the decree.

The action of the imperial palace was fast, and the Ministry of Rituals also did not dare to be negligent. As soon as the servants went to the Gu Mansion to announce the decree, they came to inform the Gu Mansion. Just wait for someone to come to you and tailor your clothes.

Li Baolu's eyes widened in surprise, "The emperor rewarded so many people so quickly, I thought it would take a long time to queue."

Official of the Ministry of Rites: It will take a long time to queue up, but His Majesty personally asks, who dares to queue in front of you?

And ma'am, don't you really see Mr. Gu behind you staring at us covetously?

Under Gu Jingyun's watchful eye, the official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and lied: "The weaving workshop is not busy this year, and last year recruited a lot of embroiderers, so it's not busy."

Li Baolu said "Oh", I don't know if I really believed it or pretended to believe it, anyway, I was very happy to accept the order, saying that they will definitely wait for someone to come to measure the size at home tomorrow.

Satisfied, Gu Jingyun personally sent the officials of the gift department to the door, "Since the weaving workshop is not busy, then the official will personally pay for it, and make two more sets of my wife's imperial clothes and dresses."

The officials from the Ministry of Rituals were full of tears, but they still responded with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, the officials will definitely supervise the embroiderers to finish the clothes as soon as possible."

The weaving workshop is affiliated to the household department, and the fabrics produced by the Jiangnan weaving workshop are all high-quality goods. Except for supplying to the palace, the profit from the sales goes to the national treasury every year.

The weaving workshop in the capital is mainly responsible for the costumes and officials of the palace, the supplementary clothes of the wives, the imperial clothes and dresses, etc.

Of course, not all the officials' uniforms were made by them. Most of the officials took the cloth and money from the Ministry of Rites and found a shop with the permission of the court to do it themselves.

However, most of the officials above the third rank were handed over to the weaving workshop. What Gu Jingyun had to do was the Taifu’s supplementary clothes and gowns. Li Baolu was also ordered by the first rank, so of course the weaving workshop would do it.

The embroiderers in the weaving workshop gathered the best craftsmen, and the clothes they made were naturally better.

Li Baolu was amazed when she received the clothes.

Gu Jingyun squeezed her hand and said, "Go and change it for me to see."

Yipin Gaoming uniform is red, and the patterns on it are embroidered with two kinds of golden and black threads, magnificent and solemn.

Li Baolu went to change clothes, while Gu Jingyun sat in the outer room and waited, waving for Heart to help.

The imperial attire was very complicated, but fortunately with the help of Heart, Li Baolu got dressed quickly.

As soon as Hongtao looked up and saw his wife's bright red cheeks, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback. She took a step back and looked at his wife, surprise flashed in her eyes, "Madam, you are so pretty."

Li Baolu couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile, and the heart was stunned for a moment, she said blankly, "It's like peach blossoms are in full bloom."

Li Baolu sat in front of the dressing table and said with a smile, "I thought you would say it looks like a peony flower."

Hongtao just looked at her cheek, shook her head and said: "Madam, your complexion is as bright as peaches and plums, it really looks like when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. If you go out, the master will definitely look dumbfounded."

A light flashed in Li Baolu's eyes, she turned her head and said, "Go and get the jewelry box from the Ministry of Rites. Since the ship is in uniform, you should also take the jewelry with you."

Hongtao responded with a smile, and the two of them tossed and tossed for a long time before getting their hair done and inserting the phoenix hairpin.

Li Baolu breathed out and said, "It's too time-consuming, no matter how good-looking it is, I won't wear it often."

Regret flashed in Hongtao's eyes, "My wife is still suitable for dressing up." It's so beautiful.

Li Baolu smiled, rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, let's go out and let them see."

Hongtao smiled and said, "I'll open the curtain for you."

The two came out hand in hand, the curtain was lifted, Gu Jingyun put down his teacup and looked up, when he saw Baolu standing at the door and smiling at him, he couldn't help his heart skip a beat, Can't help but look at her absent-mindedly.

An An was supported by Qing Ling and walked in. When she looked up, she saw her mother. She was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears with a "wow". She broke away from Qing Ling's hand and was about to rush to her father.

Gu Jingyun, who was stunned, immediately came back to his senses, quickly caught his daughter, and stared blankly at Li Baolu.

Li Baolu couldn't care less about seducing Gu Jingyun, she quickly ran over with her skirt in her hands, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with An An?"
