"Long live my lord, my queen has sent someone to ask, when will you have dinner?"
As soon as Zhang Yan made his speech, the bastard came in and said softly, "Eunuch Mei came to ask just now. I saw that you were discussing something, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
On weekdays, whenever he has time, Zhu Yunxi will take the queen and Liu Jin to accompany the old man for dinner. Although the old man always says that he is dizzy when surrounded by a large group of people, and his head hurts when there are too many people, but there is a smile in his eyes.
Nothing can be done to cover it up.
When people grow old, don’t they just care about the people around them?
Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary old people have lost interest in eating, drinking and having fun at this age. They only care about being able to travel and make money, and they care about the company of their children and grandchildren.
"Go over now!" Zhu Yunxi stood up, changed into an ordinary Taoist robe, and led people towards Yong'an Palace.
The night wind was slightly cold, as if ice stubble was hitting people's hands and faces, and the shadow of the palace lantern held by the bastard could not help but sway due to the wind.
"What has the Queen prepared for tonight?" Zhu Yunxi asked as he walked.
"Back to Long Live Master, today the Supreme Emperor and his old man said they wanted to eat dumplings. The empress has prepared dumplings stuffed with mutton and green onions. They are delicious cold and fried with old tofu. She also made old duck soup for the old man, which is very crispy.
"
"The Emperor specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some chicken dishes (chicken fungus) from southern Yunnan for the prince, as well as braised crucian carp with red braised prawns and cabbage."
Zhao Ning'er is worried about the old man's food, and the old man is worried about the six kilograms of food.
The younger one takes care of the older one, and the older one thinks of the younger one.
There was still some distance from Yong'an Palace. Zhu Yunxi put his hands into his sleeves and continued to talk, "It's winter. Have you prepared all the charcoal winter clothes in the harem?"
"Long live my lord!" The bastard said with a smile, "The monks from the Guanglu Temple and the manufacturing bureau brought this year's winter clothes with meager materials for fur coats, silver charcoal stoves, copper hand stoves, curtains and quilt materials, etc.
The things have been delivered to all the masters!" After saying that, he paused and said, "In addition, the queen also gave special instructions that this year's things will be 20% more than in previous years."
In addition to the emperor, everyone in the harem, from the queen to other concubines, has standards for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Who asked you about my side? I asked about the Supreme Emperor's side!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and scolded.
He is not the only emperor in this palace now, nor is there only one harem.
"You deserve to die, slave!" the bastard said with a smile, "In the autumn, the empress had already sent someone to deliver it. To Concubine Hui, the empress personally sent it."
Although the Forbidden City is cold, it is also a home. As a parent, Zhu Yunxi now has to take good care of everyone in this family.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was in a good mood, the bastard continued to laugh and said, "A lot of sugar oranges from Wuzhou were brought to the palace yesterday, and the Queen gave some to all the masters."
Zhu Yunxi listened with a smile. Zhao Ning'er had always behaved like a royal palace in these matters. The harem was not only happy under her rule, but there were not that many troubles.
So when it comes to marrying a virtuous wife, if you marry a jealous or narrow-minded person, I'm afraid those concubines will not have a good life.
"This is a joke!" The bastard continued to laugh.
"What a joke."
The bastard held up the palace lantern and said with a smile, "Because the pure concubine is pregnant with dragon seeds and always likes to eat these fresh fruits. The queen rewarded them more. As a result, she was rewarded with ten catties of oranges in the morning. At noon, the pure concubine used them.
More than half of the meal was over. I had a stomachache during dinner, so I summoned three imperial doctors into the palace. The queen and Concubine Hui were alarmed, but the imperial doctor said it was Master Chun who had eaten too many oranges, and it was a false alarm."
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed happily, and the scene of Xiao Shunzi's cheeks bulging and slurping while eating could not help but appear in his mind.
"Tonight!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "I'm going to rest at the pure concubine's place!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
~~~
While talking, Yong'an Palace arrived in a short time.
Pu Bucheng came out, took the palace lantern from Wang Bashi's hand, and led Zhu Yunxi inside.
It's a little cold outside, but it's as warm as spring inside.
The old man was sitting at the dinner table, staring directly at the warm wine bottle in front of him.
"My grandson has met Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi saluted and looked around, suddenly a little surprised, "Where is Ning'er?"
The table was full of food and wine, but Liu Jin and Zhao Ning'er were missing.
Zhao Ning'er didn't go to the table, but Liu Jin had to accompany the old man to eat every meal.
"Keep your voice down!" The old man suddenly waved his hand and glanced towards the back hall, "Keep your voice down, where does your wife take care of the children?"
"Ah?" Zhu Yunxi was even more puzzled.
Suddenly, I heard Zhao Ning'er's voice coming from behind, "You said you wrote three of the ten characters wrong. Are you deliberately not writing well, or are you just trying to make me angry?"
"Write it again. When I'm done, I'll show it to the bachelor on duty. If you make another mistake, you won't have to eat today!"
I bet it was Zhao Ning'er who was in charge of Liu Jin, and Liu Jin's weak voice could be heard faintly from over there.
"Mother, my son and I are hungry..."
"You have to bear it when you are hungry. If you don't read and write well, why would you lick your face and eat?"
At the dinner table, the two of them listened to the sounds over there and neither of them spoke.
After a while, the old man said, "Grandson!"
"exist!"
"When I see your wife taking care of the children, my heart trembles!" The old man glanced over quickly, "That look is too scary!"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"That look reminds us directly of your grandmother!" The old man whispered, "You don't know that your father and others didn't study well when they were young, so your grandmother took bamboo sticks and beat her palms, and even we followed suit.
The melon falls!”
As he spoke, he imitated the scene back then and Empress Ma's tone, "Ah, Zhu Chongba, how did you become a father? If your son doesn't learn well, you don't take care of him. Ah, during the day he just fights and kills, and at night he loses control.
In the wine tank, I can’t count on you for anything at home!”
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "Only my grandmother can make you feel embarrassed!"
The old man also laughed and touched the wine bottle with his finger, "We also wanted to take care of it at that time, but we didn't even know a few Chinese characters, so how could we take care of it?" As he said that, he squinted at the back hall and said, "Yeah.
It's strange. In the past, when I saw your grandmother taking care of your father and your second and third uncles, we wanted to kick him a few times. But now when I see Liu Jin being punished, why do I feel so pitiful for him?"
At this moment, the old man just finished speaking.
Zhao Ning'er's scolding voice came from over there, "You talk back to me again or make excuses? Do you believe I will beat you?"
"No, no, no, no!" The old man said to Zhu Yunxi hurriedly, "Hurry up and grab him. What are you doing with these things after eating? If something happens, you can't talk about it after eating? Besides, the child is still young, just say a few words, and fight.
what?"
"Go, go, go!" The old man urged repeatedly, "My mother is in charge of my children's studies, so we can't interfere. But if we really beat them, wouldn't they hit us right in the heart? Go and say something nice!"
