In the early morning, Yuzhu walked briskly into Qingxi Bookstore.
The old emperor was having a meal. When he heard that Yuzhu was coming, he asked him to come in and have a meal with him.
When others ate with the old emperor, without exception, they were all too afraid to pick up their dishes.
Yuzhu is different.
In front of the old emperor, "Suck, suck, suck..." The sound of Yuzhu happily drinking porridge scared everyone who was serving him into a cold sweat.
Recently, the old emperor's appetite has been very poor. No matter what kind of porridge he is, he can only drink less than half a bowl.
Yuzhu drank the porridge roughly without regard for dignity, which stimulated the old emperor's appetite. He not only ate two small dumplings, but also drank a large bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
After eating and drinking, Yuzhu supported the old emperor and walked around in the bamboo forest to eat.
"Khan Ama, I have something to say, please don't be angry." Yuzhu said in a low voice.
The old emperor looked sideways at the jade pillar and said jokingly: "What? What bad thing have you done again?"
It means, Yuzhu, did you steal someone else’s wife again?
With a smile on his face, Yuzhu told the old man in detail about the twenty-year-old palace maid who had lost her virginity.
After hearing this, the old emperor was not angry, but his face was a little ugly.
Wang Chaoqing, who was waiting beside him, felt as if his heart was in turmoil, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
When something happens to ordinary people, they are afraid that the old emperor will find out about it, and they hide it if they can.
It's good for Yuzhu. Bad things related to him, no matter how sweet or smelly, will be told to Long Live Lord in private.
If others don't know, how can Wang Chaoqing not know?
As long as Yuzhu and Huang Guizhuer join forces, this matter can be settled seamlessly.
However, Yuzhu managed to hide everything from Long Live Lord. How wise is this?
Zhang Hongxu on the other side shook his head secretly and said to himself, Yuzhu obviously escaped!
Because, not long ago, someone secretly reported the scandal that happened in Yuzhu to Lord Long Live.
"How will it end?" The old emperor stopped and looked at the jade pillar with bright eyes.
Yuzhu quickly knelt down and whispered: "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Lao Twenty. Please punish me."
"That's all. I'm very pleased that you can serve me with sincerity, and I'll spare you this time. Tell me, how to deal with it?" It is impossible for the old emperor to punish Yuzhu for such a trivial matter.
Yuzhu suggested in a low voice: "Hui Khan Ama, based on my humble opinion, why don't you reward me as a palace maid who has served Lao Twenty?"
The old emperor frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly sighed: "I can't help you with all the trouble, so I'll just rely on you."
Although Wang Chaoqing did not dare to interrupt, he knew very well that all the maids who had seduced the prince to bed had been killed with a stick.
Yuzhu asked the old emperor to reward him with the palace maid, which not only maintained the royal dignity but also saved the palace maid's life.
More importantly, saving the life of the palace maid is equivalent to saving the lives of all insiders in the Jade Mansion.
To put it bluntly, the twenty-year-old who had no chance of being crowned simply made the same mistake that any man would make.
The palace maid stayed in Yuzhu's house honestly. If the old man missed her, he could go and meet her. Even if she got pregnant, it would not become a royal scandal.
After the retreat, the old emperor held a royal meeting, with only five people in attendance.
Among the Han ministers, besides Wang Tuan, there was Zhang Tingyu. The Manchu ministers present were Song Zhu, Ma Qi and Yuzhu.
There are still five bachelors in today's cabinet.
Among them, Longkodo, who replaced Xiao Yongzao, was unable to attend the meeting because of his son Yuzhu.
In addition, Wang Xuling, a scholar of Wuyingdian, was nearly eighty years old. The old emperor was very worried that he would suddenly die in Qingxi Bookstore if the discussion lasted for a long time, so he did not summon him.
Wang Tuan, an old guy, can eat half a catty of mutton for every meal, and his body bones are extremely strong.
Objectively speaking, in addition to always wanting to support the deposed prince, Wang Guan is quite talented as a prime minister!
"All the kings and ministers submitted a petition to hold a ceremony to celebrate my sixtieth year as king..." The old emperor said a lot, and finally asked everyone, "How can I do it before the seventh day of the first lunar month and the eleventh day of the second lunar month?"
Where are the celebration gifts?”
"Ma Qi, do you ever remember when the seventh day of the first lunar month is?" The old emperor suddenly named Ma Qi.
After returning to the cabinet, Ma Qi has always been a little transparent. He never expected that the old emperor would take the initiative to ask him.
Ma Qi quickly kowtowed heavily and said in a trembling voice: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die." He took the initiative to beg for mercy.
"Humph." The old emperor snorted coldly and turned to ask Zhang Tingyu again.
Zhang Tingyu didn't remember what day it was.
However, he was a scholar after all, and he was full of clever knowledge, so he handed over his hand and said: "I shall be fined one month's salary."
Song Zhu didn't remember either. Seeing the old emperor looking towards him, he quickly lowered his head.
The old emperor sighed in disappointment, turned around and asked, "Yuzhu, do you remember?" His heart was full of hope.
Yuzhu said without hesitation: "Hui Khan Ama, the seventh day of the first lunar month is the death anniversary of my ancestor, Emperor Zhang, and the eleventh day of February is the death anniversary of my Queen Xiaokang Zhang. I must never dare or forget it.
.”
The old emperor smiled and boasted: "If your sister-in-law were still alive, she would definitely love you the most."
According to the custom of Shangsanqi, aunt's father refers to aunt, and aunt's wife refers to great aunt.
The old emperor's biological mother is Tong Guowei's biological sister, isn't she Yuzhu's great-aunt?
Seeing Yuzhu being praised, Zhang Tingyu felt a little sour in her heart.
However, the facts are all there. Besides Yuzhu, who else remembers the anniversary of Shunzhi’s death?
"Look, when we discuss military and state affairs, young people like Yuzhu cannot be left out." The old emperor said with some pride.
Ma Qi, who had been kneeling on the ground, was secretly complaining.
However, who told him to fail and be embarrassed in front of the old emperor?
Song Zhu knew well that after the old emperor's preparation, the great use of the jade pillar was just around the corner.
The imperial meeting lasted for more than two hours and discussed many important military and state affairs.
In the end, the old emperor made the decision that in the first month of next year, there would be no celebration of his enthronement.
Not long after Yuzhu left, the old emperor went to find Lao Twenty and scolded him.
"My love for you is in vain. From now on, you are not allowed to enter Changchun Garden without purpose."
As soon as the old emperor said these words, Old Twenty immediately turned pale with fear.
Because the old man could not threaten the throne, the old emperor in his later years pampered him especially and even gave him a special waist card, allowing him to enter and leave Changchun Garden freely.
Now, with the withdrawal of privileges, Lao Twenty's fall from grace is a foregone conclusion.
"Huh, get lost. If Yuzhu hadn't treated him with sincerity, I would have inevitably become bloody." The old emperor became more and more angry as he spoke. He picked up the Buddhist beads and threw them at Old Twenty.
Old Twenty didn't dare to hide at all and closed his eyes to get hit.
