Enter the Room

"Have you heard about Prince Ning's death around the eldest prince?" Song Jiyun asked, "Doesn't that mean everyone in the palace knows about it?"

Shao Qing shook his head and said in a low voice: "I heard this from the people left behind by the old master in Qianqing Palace."

He explained: "After I took the eldest prince into the Qianqing Palace, the old man was afraid that I was ignorant and would offend people without knowing why, so he asked his old man who stayed in the Qianqing Palace as an errand to give me some advice. Only then did I realize that the old man was still acquainted with people in Qianqing Palace. The same thing happened to Prince Ning this time. The emperor had been holding back on the matter of the eldest prince. Someone told the emperor what Prince Ning had said about scolding the emperor and the young master, and the emperor could no longer tolerate it. Unable to hold on any longer, he asked Eunuch Qin to give Prince Ning a cup of Hedinghong.

"Originally, everyone pretended not to know about this matter. People from the Zongren Mansion came to take care of the funeral affairs and that was it. But then someone ran up to the emperor and said, "King Ning is dead, and the refugees who besieged the city may mutiny." . Both the words and the words were accusing the emperor of acting on impulse. The emperor was extremely angry. Several eunuchs serving around him were scolded with sticks.

"It was only the people left by the old man in Qianqing Palace who told me about Prince Ning.

“I’m afraid I might unintentionally anger the emperor.

"It's a serious matter, so I asked other people in Qianqing Palace in a roundabout way, but no one seemed to know."

That means the refugees can still have peace for a few days.

Song Jiyun sent Shao Qing away and concentrated on burning the fighting colors.

Carefully outline the outline of the broken branch flowers, and then fill in red, green, yellow and other colors of flowers. Finally, she carefully put the porcelain bodies into the bowl box and put them into the steamed bun kiln. She was relieved when she watched Master Xiao Guo light the fire.

She asked Zhou Zheng and Dai Siji to stay in Pocket Alley, and took Zheng Quan and He Dazhi back to Xijiangmi Lane.

Before she came back, Yuan Yunzhong must have been discussing something with Mr. Jinghu. When she came in, she happened to see Yuan Yunzhong coming out of Mr. Jinghu's yard, and Mr. Jinghu was seeing him off.

"Yunduo!" Yuan Yunzhong hurriedly came forward and said with a genuine smile, "I heard from my grandfather that you have been away from home these days and went to Pocket Alley to make porcelain. But what important orders have you received these days? There is a bit of chaos in the city, so you should take Zheng Quan and the others with you no matter what when you go out."

"Okay!" Song Jiyun replied sweetly, but his eyes met Mr. Jinghu's.

Mr. Jinghu had no expression on his face and looked at her coldly.

But she smiled even more cheerfully and said to Yuan Yunzhong: "I thought that Yin Yutang's business was so good, so I brought a lot of kaolin here. Rather than leaving it useless, I might as well take the opportunity to burn it all and put it away." Go to Yin Yu Tang and sell it, it’s a big business."

Yuan Yunzhong agreed. He had good news to share with Song Jiyun. He gently pulled her sleeves and said to Mr. Jinghu, "I will send Miss Song back to Xikuoyuan first." He did not look at Mr. Jinghu more. At one glance, he left with Song Jiyun.

Song Jiyun couldn't help but look back.

Mr. Jinghu stood alone at the door of the yard, with the umbrella-like tree canopy shrouding him in the shade. His figure was lonely and lonely.

She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and happily teased Yuan Yunzhong: "You are so happy, is there some good news about the refugees?"

Yuan Yunzhong said: "Is it so obvious?"

"It's not obvious." Song Jiyun muttered, "But I know you too well. I know something good is happening just by looking at you like this."

Yuan Yunzhong laughed and said: "There is indeed good news. The emperor has decided to appease the refugees. Maybe this matter can be solved without me leaving the city."

If so, that's great.

Song Jiyun said happily: "Shall we go to the restaurant to have a table today? Invite Mr. Jinghu over and have a few glasses of wine to celebrate."

Yuan Yunzhong was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said, "What you said makes sense. I was just happy, but I forgot that my grandfather is always alone. Although Mr. Huang is with him, it is not as fun as Cheng Huan's knees."

Song Jiyun pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Then you should hurry up and tell me, and I'll have someone call the table."

Yuan Yunzhong went to invite Mr. Jinghu.

Song Jiyun called for all the tables to be served, and it took almost two quarters for Yuan Yunzhong and Mr. Jinghu to come over.

She hurriedly asked people to sift the wine, and said to Mr. Jinghu: "This is really big news, we need to celebrate it."

Mr. Jinghu responded "Yes" with a smile, and looked at Song Jiyun with a half-smile from a place where Yuan Yunzhong couldn't see him.

She didn't bother to pay attention to him.

A few days later, a kiln opened in Pocket Alley.

Three hundred pieces of porcelain eventually became eighty-nine.

In the eyes of Master Xiao Guo and others, it is rare, but in the eyes of Song Jiyun, it is far behind.

If you want to burn a good-looking doucai, I'm afraid you have to work hard.

Song Jiyun sent several of the Dou Cai pieces to the manufacturing office, hoping to see Concubine Wan Gui.

Mr. Chen from the Manufacturing Office has deeply felt that Song Jiyun understands Song Jiyun's methods since the Liulichang incident and is unwilling to offend her. Even though her move was a bit unruly, he still tried his best to make it happen.

Song Jiyun gave Mr. Chen a pair of octagonal cups with lotus patterns.

Later, the pair of cups fell into the hands of Ji Shuanghu and became an heirloom of the Ji family. Of course, this is all for the future.

Concubine Wan Gui really liked the colorful dishes and dishes when she saw them.

She slowly admired the colorful patterns and asked Song Jiyun casually: "What do you want?"

Song Jiyun smiled and said: "How dare I ask for your grace? It was just the last time I entered the palace and saw the book of the Imperial Prison. I knew that your Majesty likes fighting for colors, so I tried to burn a kiln, and it actually succeeded. I specially dedicated it to your Majesty."

Concubine Wan Gui is so shrewd, of course she would not dare to fool Concubine Wan Gui. He continued: "If the empress can stay, she will also add glory to my Song family kiln factory and my Yinyu Hall. How dare I ask for any reward."

Concubine Wan Gui smiled when she heard this and said, "I thought you were here to apologize to me for the matter of the emperor's eldest son, didn't you?"

Song Jiyun had a layer of cold sweat on his vest, and said hurriedly: "The emperor is the only one in your heart, and the daughter of the people knows that."

Concubine Wan Gui's face brightened slightly at this moment, she pointed at the doucai she had paid as tribute, and told the attendants around her: "Then stay!"

Song Jiyun thanked him again and again.

After leaving the palace, Zheng Quan helped her get into the carriage and asked her, "Is it done?"

"It's done!" Song Jiyun smiled.

The time was too short, and she could only show her face to Concubine Wan Gui. Even if Yuan Yunzhong didn't have to go out of the city to appease the people, it was still enough.

Zheng Quan responded "Yes" with a smile.

When the carriage reached Shichahai, it was stopped by someone.

"Miss Song, it's me!" Xu Guangzeng, who stopped her carriage, was very different from the last time he came to see her. Not only was he neatly dressed, but he also showed unmistakable flattery when facing her.

He approached the carriage and said, "Miss Song, my brother has agreed. He said that if anything happens in the future, you can directly give him orders. He also said that he will find a way to send me to Lord Yuan."

Song Jiyun smiled and socialized with him for a few words, then asked Zheng Quan to whip his horse and whip and leave Shichahai.

It's just that she didn't smile because of Xu Guangzeng's appearance, but showed a little sadness.
