Chapter 925: Fate is Impermanent

In the conversation with Su Lan, Wu Xi learned about the emperor's daily life and learned some of his habits and habits. It can be said that this has subverted her understanding of the little emperor. In the next conversation with Chen Shu, she learned about the other side of the emperor, and understood that it was not as rigid as it seemed, but had extraordinary courage and cunning, but had an indetectable weak side in her heart.

Now the emperor is like an incomprehensible contradiction in Wu Xi's heart, which makes her feel difficult to adapt and does not know how to face it. At this moment, she is sincerely envious of Chen Shu. She met the little emperor since childhood and had experienced so many things together, and had an indescribable intimacy and tacit understanding. This makes her feel a little sad. The emperor can tolerate Chen Shu's "bullying" and rudeness, but why can't he be more tolerant of herself?

"The emperor was very angry this time, and it seemed difficult to be kind!" Wu Xi said with a gloomy face after hearing Chen Shu's words.

"Queen, don't worry too much. Although the official is angry this time, he will not expel the Empress from the palace!" Chen Shu finished eating the cake, picked up the spoon and drank the porridge and said.

"Why? Has the official discussed with the imperial concubine?" Wu Xi looked at Chen Shu and said suspiciously.

"How could the officials discuss this kind of major event that concerns the fate of the country? I guessed this!" Chen Shu called out the food on the table and grimaced.

"Can the imperial concubine guess the official's thoughts with one breakfast?" Wu Xi still couldn't believe it and said in confusion.

"During the banquet yesterday, the official said he wanted to compensate the lamp household, and said he wanted to save money to pay the debt. I guessed it." Chen Shu saw that the queen was still confused and smiled and said, "The official family is the most protective person. As long as it is his own things, it will not be easily damaged or damaged. Now that the official family has taken the initiative to bear the lights for the queen, it means that although he is angry, it is not serious enough to be deposed. The self-reduction of the standard is to give an explanation to the court and the public, and it is also self-reflection!"

"In this way, the official food is so vulgar because of me?" Wu Xi said a little moved.

"That's right." Chen Shu nodded, "The official family is busy with daily affairs and has to practice martial arts and military training. It's very hard. If you don't eat well every day, how can your body bear it..."

"Then the imperial concubine prepared the meal and delivered it. She was really intent!" Before Chen Shu finished speaking, Wu Xi had already understood the whole story and said embarrassedly.

"The queen doesn't know that although the inner treasury has some savings, His Majesty rarely uses it for personal gain. Instead, he asks for salary like us. But it is not his own use, and he also needs to subsidize the guard camp and the eunuchs. The amount left to him is not rich. I thought I could share the burden for the official family, but the queen also saw it. He did not go there, so I had to send it here!" Chen Shu said helplessly.

"It's better for the imperial concubine to know the official family. It's better for us to share the burden and take turns to deliver meals to the official family!" Wu Xi thought for a while and said.

"The Empress is best not to do it. The official family has its own principles. Since he said he wanted to do this, he would never give up easily. It is okay to do it by chance, but it must not be done. Otherwise, once the official family refuses, there will be no room for maneuver!" Su Lan, who was packing the dishes, interrupted.

"Is it even possible for the imperial concubine?" Wu Xi said in a disappointment.

"What my sister is saying is that I know the thoughts of the government family best. The same is true when the government family was young. Although I was older than him, sometimes I think about it, it is often the government family who gave in to me, tolerating my willfulness and nonsense, and always caring for me like an adult. I must have been afraid that I would be disappointed just now, so I didn't refuse." Chen Shu thought for a while, pouted and sighed.

"In fact, the official family does not value external things. Although there are a lot of millions of guan, it is not that important in the eyes of the official family!" Su Lan presented the tea ceremony to the two empresses again.

"Well, my sister is right. I heard that the government only lent nearly ten million chunks of silver to the court, but I never asked for it. When I was in Qiongzhou, it was said that the formation of a new army and the replacement of firearms were all paid by the inner treasury, which was also a huge expense. I have never seen the government sting!" Chen Shuyan said.

"You can tell the constant of the two empresses: Money should be used on the blade." Su Lan said with a chuckling.

"What does this mean? Please give Shanggong a commentary." Wu Xi shook his head and asked Su Lan to sit down and say.

"Thank you!" Su Lan thanked her and sat down and said, "The official family means that money should be used in practice, not for the sake of face. It is a sin to spend money to gain happiness and temporary comfort. Dressing and eating are just for food and clothing, and it is not worth it!"

"Well, I understand." Wu Xi nodded and said, "The official family is in love with the world. What they think is not about food and clothing for each person and family, but about the food and clothing of hundreds of millions of people in the Song Dynasty and the safety of the world."

"Empress wisely. Since you know the reason, you don't have to worry. The official family... Alas, internal and external troubles have made the official family anxious and anxious. When things come to an end!"

"Thank you, Su Shanggong's explanation. I'll see if the other sisters are here, so I can discuss how to make arrangements today!" Wu Xi stood up and left his seat and said.

"Great sending you off!" Su Lan and Chen Shu also hurriedly stood up and said. Seeing the queen walking into the garden, Chen Shu pulled Su Lan down and said, "Does sister have any hidden secrets? Why do you want to say something but stop?"

"Concubine, did you find something strange?" Su Lan thought for a while and said.

"Strange thing? No!" Chen Shu tilted her head and thought for a moment and shook her head.

"On that day, the official family only spent a hundred guan to repair the Zhiyuan Hall, which caused the Censor to impeach. All officials participated in the report, which forced His Majesty to go to the palace to defend himself. But the queen spent a million guan this time to preside over the Lantern Festival, but the court was silent and no one raised any objection. Is the imperial concubine unconsciously strange?" Su Lan said.

"Oh, that's true. It must be because all officials were afraid of the Wu family's power and collectively lost their voice!" Chen Shu thought for a moment.

"I just wanted to persuade the queen to strictly restrain her family and not cause trouble for the official family, but then I thought that the queen's family's power could actually control the court, so I felt it was unnecessary." Su Lan said with a wry smile.

"It's no wonder that the official family didn't give the queen a good look. I think it was because of this incident. The seventh prince of the Wu family was also unlucky. He just happened to hit the gun of the official family and dared to ask Brother Ni to kowtow to him in the street to apologize." Chen Shu said suddenly.

"The Wu family is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Now it seems that it has already aroused the alertness of the officials, which is also the reason why the officials are depressed!" Su Lan said to Chen Shu again, "But I want to congratulate the concubine. If it is not expected, the imperial concubine will preside over the harem in a few days."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. With the stingy nature of the official family, he will not depose the queen. He is reluctant to spend money to marry another person. And if he is called a slave in the future, he will never pay attention to his sister again!" Chen Shu pretended to be angry and said.

"Okay, let's be called sisters in private!" Su Lan pulled Chen Shu's hand and said with a smile. Although she could not see the direction of the court, she had already expected that the Wu family's defeat was near. Thinking about the situation when the court moved to Qiong back then, the little emperor could still fight back and conquer the opposition forces one by one. Although the situation is complicated, the little emperor's strength is not the same as the Wu family, and the queen is bound to fall out of favor. However, the Chen brothers are all His Majesty's favorite ministers. Relatively speaking, the foundation is still shallow, and they must be the targets of support to compete with the influence of the Wu family. In this way, Chen Shu's status has also risen with the rise.

"Well, but I don't want to preside over the harem, I just want to be by the official family..." Chen Shu, who did not realize that her family would become a newcomer to the Song Dynasty, frowned and murmured...

Although this park tour was the first time that Zhao Bing and the concubines had fun in the garden, he still adhered to the tradition of saving. In order to let everyone spend an unforgettable day, he could only prepare a big meal for his wife. He knew that his cooking skills were limited, but the key was "innovation". He thought about everything he had eaten in his previous life, seen, and what he could cook, and what he could do now allows, and then made a table of home-cooked dishes that combine the flavors of the north and south, and the essence of Chinese and Western.

I don’t know if Zhao Bing’s cooking skills increased significantly after traveling through time, or if the taste of people in this era was too low, his dishes were so popular, especially the imperial chefs who served as small workers praised him. He must leave the recipe so that he could carry it forward. This made him, who had always been very thick-skinned, feel ashamed. Fortunately, they are all their own family members, and even if they are embarrassed, they are left at home.

Because it was early spring, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the banquet was also in the plum garden. Several very talented wives took turns to work and recite poems and lyrics, which made Zhao Bing feel embarrassed. After being punished for a few drinks, he suddenly remembered the theme song of the TV series "Yi Jian Plum" that he had watched before. Regardless of whether the scene was right or not, the word "Plum" in it was not off topic anyway, so he continued to sing a song with a drink.

Zhao Bing was also a mistake. In the Song Dynasty, people called a branch a clipper. The meaning of a plum blossom is a branch. People from two places often express their lovesickness by giving each other a branch a plum blossom. Although this song is a modern song, the lyrics are very cultural. It borrows the artistic conception from ancient poems and uses various metaphors to portray the images and emotions of characters in novel and clever use of various metaphors, which is also considered as the subject matter.

Moreover, the melody of the whole song is melodious and melodious. Zhao Bing has passed the voice change period, and just happened to catch up with the troubles of things and feel sad in his heart. He just successfully interpreted the persistent sadness, successfully expressing the softness and warmth of the song, sincerity and deep affection, which moved a group of innocent girls. The emperor's melancholy and deep eyes passed by, making them feel that His Majesty was confessing to him.

Again...and later, Zhao Bing got drunk under the respect of his wives, and completely cut off the film. When he woke up the next day, he forgot what he did yesterday and what he did. He felt a split headache and didn't want to get up.

"Sister, did I do something inappropriate and said something too much yesterday?" Zhao Bing took a shower and felt better. After drinking a cup of tea, he asked. He knew that he was not a commoner, so he had to count as soon as he said that he had to pay back the debt.

"Do you don't remember at all?" Su Lan asked back with a smile.

"I only remember that I drank a lot of wine after singing, so I don't know what happened after that. Sister, tell me!" Zhao Bing pinched his head and thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember it at all, and urged him.

"Haha, the official family was very popular yesterday. First, they told everyone about the current situation and expressed their ambitions. They not only had to cross the north and drink horses and Danube, but also took a huge boat to ride the wind and waves, leading everyone around the world, catching kangaroos in Oceania, eating chili peppers in the Americas, watching giraffes in Africa, hunting lions, watching penguins in Antarctica, etc., all nonsense, I can't remember it anymore!" Su Lan said with a smile.

"It seems that I'm really drunk. Have you heard of these things? What else did I do?" Zhao Bing said embarrassedly, but he felt relieved. The things he said seemed to be nonsense at this time, so naturally he would not reveal his identity as a time traveler.

"The official family drank a few more glasses of wine at that time, and was even more drunk, but they said some love words to the empresses, which moved them to tears, especially after all the words made the imperial concubine cry. I didn't expect that the official family would say the love words, which made people..." Su Lan blushed as she said, and she couldn't continue.

"I didn't say that I've been ten thousand years?" Zhao Bing thought that he had never had a relationship in his previous life, but Er Ran remembered a lot of lines when he saw them, and thought that this was all that.

"Well, this was the words that made the imperial concubine cry, and then the official family lie down, scaring everyone. Fortunately, the imperial physician had seen him and said he was drunk, and it was nothing serious!" Su Lan nodded and said.

"Then what did I say to my sister?" Zhao Bing looked at Su Lan and asked suddenly.

"The official family... haven't woken up yet?" Su Lan blushed and turned her back and said coquettishly.

"Officials, please ask for an interview at the governor!" Just as Zhao Bing wanted to tease him again, Wang De trotted in and reported.

"Please!" Zhao Bing could only put away the joke. He knew that the Wu family's affairs should be obvious, and their fate depends on what they were talking about.

A moment later, Ying Jieyan was in Zhiyuantang study led by Xiaohuangmen. After greeting each other, Zhao Bing did not politely and asked bluntly: "Sir, can the Wu family agree to my conditions?"

"Your Majesty, Duke Xu agreed!" Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and said.

"It seems that the Wu family is quite smart. This can avoid a bloody incident and make me lose less blood on my hands!" Zhao Bing said with relief. In fact, he has spent the past two days in pain. Although he is ready to use force, it is a last resort to slaughter the court. After all, the people who have lost are also talents from the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, although the Wu family has agreed to Your Majesty's conditions, I also hope that Your Majesty can treat the Queen well, act according to your promise, and forgive the life of the Queen Xianping!" Ying Jieyan said again.
