Although there was no Jinyiwei in the Dayan Dynasty, there was an Xiuyiwei! Directly under the emperor, he was responsible for the Imperial City Department, the Guards Department, and the supervision of all officials. To put it bluntly, he was the emperor's personal bodyguard and intelligence agency. Unfortunately, there was no imperial edict, and his authority was far less than that of the Jinyiwei.
.
But the reputation is still not that great.
After all, who likes to be watched all day long? Who is not afraid that the emperor will find out about the bad things they do behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, Yue Wangshu suddenly stopped, then turned around and ran towards the candied haws.
Yan Zheng raised his hand to stop him, but it was obviously too late.
Wang Chong, the embroidered hawker who was pretending to be a hawker, was also stunned for a moment. Then he saw that the noble concubine who was wearing a maroon robe and looked like a young man had already stepped on her feet and pulled out a candied haws. Of course, she didn't
Give money.
Wang Chong also forgot to ask for money.
As if he had taken advantage of it, Yue Wangshu trotted again and returned to the emperor Yan Zheng in a splendid way, "Want to eat?"
Yan Zheng couldn't help laughing and waved his hand.
The candied haws on the side are red, large, crystal clear, and look very good.
Yue Wangshu bit it directly, and then... her face froze.
"Ah, bah, bah, my teeth are sticky!" I don't like the candied haws, but I don't like it. "The heat to boil the sugar is not enough!"
Yue Wangshu turned around again and trotted to the embroidered man selling candied haws. This man was tall and tall, and he really didn't look like a candied haws seller... He could tell with his toes that he definitely didn't make the candied haws.
.
But this did not stop Yue Wangshu from chattering endlessly: "When boiling sugar, it needs to be boiled to a light amber color, then it is just right!" As he said that, he inserted the candied haws of sugar haws that he had taken a bite back into.
"Yes, yes, I have written it down." Wang Chong, the embroiderer, immediately nodded and bowed, with a smile on his face, just like a hawker in a market stall.
At this moment, Yan Zheng had also walked over, grabbed Yue Wangshu's sleeve, and said impatiently: "Why are you talking nonsense with him?" - He was clearly a big man who looked down on vendors.
Wang Chong bowed his head even more. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have knelt down and kowtowed a few times.
Then Yue Wangshu was dragged away by Yan Zheng.
In the bustling Zhuque Street, such a trivial matter would not attract anyone's attention at all. Wang Chong wiped away his cold sweat, glanced at the bitten candied haws, and retreated further away quietly.
Yue Wangshu saw this and couldn't help but chuckle: "No one is seen."
Yan Zheng laughed and snorted, how could he not know that Wang Chong was following so closely, it was just intentional? So seeing Wang Chong feeling playful, he took advantage of the situation and struck a few times to prevent others from popping up again.
"What grade is the embroiderer?" Yue Wangshu asked curiously.
Yan Zheng said casually: "Fourth grade."
Yue Wangshu touched his chin, "It's only the fourth grade..."
Yan Zheng smiled softly: "The late emperor's dynasty was of the second rank."
Yue Wangshu was stunned for a moment, and he was reduced to the fourth rank when he came to you?? Originally, he could wear purple robes, but he was suddenly reduced to red robes. But the more suppressed he was, why did his embroidered clothes become so popular?
Instead, he looks like a...pug?
Although this Embroidered Guard is not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard, it is still an organization that makes people change their minds. But then I thought about it, the power of this organization comes from the imperial power. To put it bluntly, it is the emperor's eagle dog! I dare to use my brain to squeeze it.
Disrespectful in front of the emperor….
"The famous Embroidery Guard..." Yue Wangshu murmured to himself, "The boss actually looks like this."
He grew up tall and mighty, but had a shy attitude.
Seeing that she looked quite regretful, Yan Zheng felt even more amused, "Otherwise, what do you think it would be like? Three heads and six arms?"
Yue Wangshu chuckled and refused to say what he was thinking about. Then he pointed to the tall building in front and said, "That's the Qianlou." It is said to be the tallest restaurant in the capital, but looking at it the same way, it seems... But it's three stories high, only about ten meters.
However, they saw a few white-faced and beardless servants waiting outside Qianlou. They came over immediately and reported in a low voice: "Master, everything is ready inside."
Yan Zheng hummed, still holding Yue Wangshu's sleeve in his hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away again after taking a puff of smoke.
Looking at the people coming and going in the building, after entering, seven or eight servants immediately gathered around and led Yan Zheng and Yue Wangshu directly upstairs.
Yue Wangshu was overwhelmed with what he could see. The inside of this Qianlou was really very lively, and they were all dressed in silk silk. There was also a stage in the very spacious hall. The dancing girls were dancing gracefully on the stage. Many guests in the audience kept cheering and cheering. Some people threw money up there and thought it was a red light district.
Of course Yue Wangshu knew that this was a restaurant, and even if there were kabuki performers, they were all brought in from outside by Qian Lou, who only performed tricks and did not sell his body. Even so, it was still quite a bit of a waste of money.
"Not inferior to the Jiaofang Secretary..." Yue Wangshu couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that she was only looking downstairs, Yan Zheng had no choice but to grab her hand and drag her into the private room.
As soon as they entered the private room, they found that there were already about ten servants standing there. Fortunately, the private room was large enough, and these servants were waiting neatly aside, so they didn't feel crowded.
As soon as the door of the private room was closed, the eunuchs dressed as servants and the guards knelt on the floor.
Yan Zheng frowned: "Since you're outside, don't stick to these things. Leave two people serving the dishes, and the rest will wait outside."
"Yes!" Everyone on the ground responded in unison. They bowed their eyebrows and retreated for the most part. Only then did the private room become quiet.
As for the two people left behind, Yue Wangshu surprisingly knew both of them. One was the chief manager Zhang Ji, and the other was the embroiderer Wang Chong! At this moment, Wang Chong actually changed his clothes. He was no longer dressed like a peddler, but instead Wearing a gold-woven satin suit, he looked like a wealthy businessman, but unfortunately he still bowed his head.
Yue Wangshu took a look and was speechless.
Wang Man asked for instructions with a smile on his face: "Would you like to ask a female musician to come in and play some music for the fun?"
Yan Zheng frowned and was about to scold, but Yue Wangshu smiled and said: "I think it's okay." She didn't really want to listen to the music, but wanted to see who the leader of the embroidered clothes guard had arranged.
Yan Zheng instantly turned his anger into a smile and waved his hand: "Go ahead."
"Yes, please wait!"
When Wang Chong went out, the imperial eunuch who pretended to be a servant came in with drinks and delicacies. This was supposed to be the job of the waiter in the restaurant, but the people in the imperial palace dared to invite outsiders to come in. He personally took over the inspection of the things at the entrance, and then Dare to send it in.
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but asked: "The food is being served before you order?" She didn't even see the menu.
Zhang Ji quickly said: "These are the guests of the wealthy businessman named Wang, and they are all Qianlou's signature wines and dishes."

Yue Wangshu smelled the delicious meat dishes and nodded, "That's okay." - She had been a vegetarian for three months, as long as she could eat meat...
