Chapter 51 The gentle beauty with a generous heart
The steamed dumplings stuffed with beef were so small and exquisite that Wen Xiaotu took one bite and ate four or five in a row.
The Emperor Ming Zhao, who was sitting due south, said quietly: "Eat slowly."
Wen Xiaotu paused for a moment and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the main seat in the south with his dark eyes that were not covered by the fan. She was not eating quickly. Now she has inherited the eating etiquette of the original owner Wen Rutu and eats
The speed is much slower than in modern times.
But the emperor's words were imperial edicts, so Wen Xiaotu obediently said "yes" and chewed his food more carefully.
In this way, the breakfast lasted for more than half an hour.
Wen Xiaotu put down the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the tea prepared on the red sandalwood table, rinsed his mouth, then put on his veil, and then put down the fan that he had been holding for more than half an hour.
Ancient veils were usually sewn with a strap and tied at the back of the head. Wen Xiaotu found it troublesome, so she made Hongguo an ear-hanging type so that it could be worn with one hand - just like a mask. But this thing
The breathability is much better than the masks of later generations.
In an era when the virus is raging, Wen Xiaotu has long been accustomed to wearing a mask when going out, and now wearing a veil is quite comfortable and does not feel burdensome at all.
She was blessed with good health and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal."
Seeing how docile and well-behaved Mrs. Wen is, she doesn't seem to be able to utter such nonsense as "pimping".
Ming Zhao thought to himself that this obedient look was quite pleasing to the eye.
Wen Xiaotu quietly took a look at His Majesty the Emperor's face. Unable to show his anger, he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't you have to go to the morning court?"
Ming Zhao said in surprise: "Today is not a great day."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, wasn't it the Great Morning Dynasty? Didn't the co-authored emperor go to the morning court every day?
Seeing Wen's silly look, Ming Zhao couldn't help laughing in his heart, and said: "Since the founding of this dynasty, we have been paying homage once every ten days. After I ascended the throne, it was changed to once every five days."
Wen Xiaotu’s black line, it took five days to get to work one day?!
Well... Actually, you can't say that. After all, the emperor buried cases and reviewed memorials every day. However, the official court meeting was only held once every five days.
However, Wen Rutu didn't seem to be very clear about this kind of thing. She said sarcastically: "I don't understand this, which makes the emperor laugh."
Ming Zhao couldn't help but laugh, and the corners of his pursed lips raised slightly, "You are just a boudoir girl, there is really no need to know about the court."
Wen Xiaotu understood in his heart: The harem is not allowed to interfere with politics, right? I understand this.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
It’s really rare!
In her impression, this emperor was fierce and doggy, always scolding and scolding him, his wheat-colored face was always stern, his eyes were mean, and he had an inhuman attitude.
Unexpectedly, I would actually laugh.
But after only smiling for a moment, the Emperor Mingzhao stopped smiling, and once again had that solemn face that was indistinguishable from anger.
"But today I am going to the front hall to summon ministers, so please step aside first." The emperor said seriously. The front hall belonged to the previous dynasty, and since we were summoning ministers, it was inconvenient to leave Wen to serve him.
Well, wait a minute, it seems that Mrs. Wen was by my side yesterday. She clearly only knows how to eat, drink and be lazy. How can she serve me?!
Ming Zhao waved his hand, looking disgusted again.
Wen Xiaotu breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally go back. She quickly blessed her body again and said, "Yes, concubine, please retire."
Then he quickly retreated.
Looking at the figure walking away quickly, Ming Zhao couldn't help but frown.
His Majesty the Emperor is indeed a man of his word. When Wen Xiaotu returned to Yanqing Hall, before his buttocks was still hot, Liang Kunyu, the supervisor of the imperial palace, came with the emperor's handwriting and came to convey the order.
"Edict: The talented Wen family, Shushen, respectful, gentle and filial, accepts the orders of the Empress Dowager, and is promoted to a fourth-grade beauty. I admire this!"
Wen Xiaotu kowtowed quickly and said in a bright tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother for your grace!"
After getting up and receiving the emperor's order, Wen Xiaotu's heart dropped to his stomach.
Liang Kunyu smiled and said: "My slave, congratulations to Miss Wen!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled so hard that his eyes curled up, and he quickly glanced at Hongguo. Hongguo quickly stuffed a heavy silver ingot into his hand without saying anything.
Hong Guo smiled and said, "Thank you, the Chief Manager, for making this trip."
Liang Kunyu weighed the weight in her sleeves and smiled brightly, "Beauties are blessed with profound blessings, and good times are still far away." - Wen Meiren is the only concubine who has been blessed by the emperor in the past three years. If she can be pregnant with a dragon,
Having a baby, becoming a concubine or concubine in the future is just around the corner.
Liang Kunyu said again: "You are now a fourth-class beauty. According to the rules, in addition to the eunuch in charge and the first-class maid, there are also two second-class maids, four third-class maids, and six junior eunuchs. I have already been informed.
Go to Yongxiang and select capable and intelligent palace servants to serve you."
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Wen Xiaotu quickly thanked her, although she felt that the people around her were enough. In fact, given her position as a talented person, she did not have all the people around her. There was one eunuch in charge and two eunuchs beside the fifth-grade talented person.
There are two first-class and third-class maids each, plus three rough eunuchs.
Hong Guo quickly asked: "Eunuch Liang, when will my beauty's chariot be ready?"
In fact, there are chariot carriages for women and above, but Wen Xiaotu has never had one. This is not because the Ministry of Internal Affairs is negligent, but because this thing requires a construction period to be made, and in this era they are all purely handmade, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to rush to make them first.
The carriages of the Helan family and the Fang family, so not to mention her, even the carriages of Luo Cairen and Yu Meiren have not arrived yet.
Liang Kunyu immediately said seriously: "These craftsmen in the manufacturing office just love to be lazy, beauties, don't let them get angry, I will scold them when I turn around!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled hurriedly and said: "That's not necessary. The office is busy with things, and it is possible to have no time for it."
But she is really greedy for this thing!
Thinking that he seemed to be favored now, he naturally wanted to get his benefits before he fell out of favor.
She rolled her eyes and said, "The Helan family's chariot before... I wonder if you can give it to me?" - Whether it's a talented person, a beauty, or Jie Yu, they are all ladies of the family, and they all ride in the same chariot.
level, there is no violation of regulations.
Liang Kunyu was stunned, "Helan's chariot? Beauty...don't you dislike it?" - After all, Helan had harmed Wen Meiren, and Helan was even dismissed and sent back to her mother's house. The chariot she had made
, don’t you dislike bad luck?
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "The Helan family has not been Jieyu for a few days, so the chariot must be brand new." Is there anyone you can dislike?
Liang Kunyu thought to himself that this gentle beauty was kind-hearted. Well, in this case, he didn't have to make a bad face, so he smiled and said: "Since the beauty is called by name, I will inform the production office and ask them to whitewash it before doing it."
Sent to you."
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't sugarcoat it, Wen Xiaotu said silently to himself.
However, she did not refuse and said with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law."
