Recently, the atmosphere in the palace has become more and more depressing, especially those who serve around the emperor. They live in low pressure almost every day, carefully working with their necks hunched, trying their best to minimize their presence, even
The few young eunuchs who used to rack their brains to dance around in front of the emperor in the hope of being re-employed have all noticed the dangerous atmosphere in the atmosphere these days, and are very aware of current affairs and living with their tail between their legs.
The door to the bedroom was tightly closed, and Eunuch Xia stood outside, looking at the door and sighing.
It has been three days. His Majesty has locked himself in the palace and has not left the house for three days. The entire Jinhua Palace has been shrouded in haze, exuding a heavy atmosphere of death.
Bihe led several palace maids over. They all carried food boxes in their hands. It was not yet sunset, so it was a bit early to finish the meal, but His Majesty had not had a drop of water all day today. Bihe was really worried that His Majesty would damage it because of this.
After getting rid of the dragon body, he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a lot of meals that His Majesty liked to eat, and eagerly delivered them to him. Even if His Majesty can use one or two bites, it would be good.
When she saw the closed door, she couldn't help but frown her beautiful eyebrows and whispered: "Manager Xia, if this continues, how will His Majesty's dragon body be able to withstand it?"
Eunuch Xia also had a helpless look on his face: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood and has a poor appetite. We slaves, even if we are anxious, we can only watch." Not everyone can be like Xiao Lezi, who can still be angry after annoying His Majesty.
Live a long and lively life.
"That's what I say, but we can't really watch His Majesty starve." Bihe looked very worried, "I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare many meals that His Majesty likes to eat today, and let us bring them in to His Majesty.
Let’s see, maybe Your Majesty can have some?”
She asked the maids to carefully place the food boxes on the ground, opened the lids one by one, and asked Eunuch Xia to check the dishes inside.
Eunuch Xia said: "The dishes are all good, and they are cooked with great care, but aren't the meals delivered before this good food? Your Majesty is in a bad mood now, and he will not appreciate it even if he sees these dishes.
, if you are accidentally angered by His Majesty, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die."
In recent days, many people have been beaten to death because of anger. Eunuch Xia also couldn't bear it, so he kindly reminded Bihe.
Bihe became even more sad: "Even so, we can't just let His Majesty do it, right?"
Eunuch Xia's eyes moved, but he didn't speak. However, Bihe had already seen that he had an idea in his mind. He thought it was inconvenient for him to say it because there were others around him, so he whispered: "I wonder if Eunuch Xia can borrow it?"
Talk in one step?"
The two of them walked a few steps to the side and came to a relatively remote corner. Bihe said: "Manager Xia has been with His Majesty for so many years and knows His Majesty's temperament best. I believe that you will have a way to make His Majesty as soon as possible."
Cheer up and ask you to tell me something."
Manager Xia pondered for a moment and then said: "This matter must be answered by the person who tied the bell."
Bi He didn't understand what he meant and asked again: "I'm too stupid, please ask Mr. Xia to explain it more clearly."
"The reason why Your Majesty is in a depressed mood is because of Concubine Le. If you really want your Majesty to eat, you have to think about Concubine Le." After saying this, Manager Xia closed his mouth and did not intend to continue.
He spoke.
Bi He had a thoughtful look on her face. She led the palace maids back to the royal dining room with their food boxes. When she saw a plate of walnut cakes on the stove, her eyes froze, and she immediately understood what Manager Xia meant.
After nightfall, Bihe held a food box in his hand and led the two palace maids in a hurry to Jinhua Palace. On the way, he happened to meet Cui Wei from Chunning Palace.
Cui smiled brightly: "Hey, who do I think you are? It turns out to be Sister Bihe, whom I haven't seen for a long time! My sister is in a hurry. Could it be that something urgent happened? If you can be of any use to me, just ask.
, I will definitely define it."
In order to please Queen Wang, Cuiwei has always wanted to plant spies in Jinhua Palace to inquire about His Majesty's news. However, the entire Jinhua Palace was surrounded by Manager Xia and Bihe as tightly as an iron barrel. So far, Cuiwei has not been able to succeed. This makes Cuiwei in
While he was anxious, he felt a bit resentful towards Bihe and Manager Xia. Manager Xia was a very difficult person to deal with, and his connections in the palace were far beyond what Cuiwei could match, so Cuiwei didn't dare to take advantage of him.
I can only keep my eyes fixed on Bihe, who seems to be more capable.
Bihe also knows the little Jiujiu in her heart. On a normal day, Bihe would not mind chatting with her, but now His Majesty is still hungry, and Bihe is interested in His Majesty's dragon body. He is not in the mood to talk at all.
No.
"It's indeed an emergency, but I can handle it myself. Thank you for your kindness. I still have things to do, so I need to take a step first." After Bihe said that, he picked up the food box and left without even giving Cui Wei an extra glance.
Cui Wei felt that she had been perfunctory and was very embarrassed. She stood on the spot and clutched the handkerchief tightly, cursing bitterly in her heart: Little coquettish hooves, do you think working beside His Majesty is a big deal? Bah! Let's wait and see!
In front of the Jinhua Palace bedroom door, Bihe opened the food box, revealing several dishes inside, including sugar water noodles, Yulin fragrant waist, fish head tofu pudding, walnut cake, and red sand mochi, a total of one bowl and five small plates.
Bihe asked carefully: "These are some of Concubine Le's favorite dishes. Do you think they might be popular with His Majesty?"
Eunuch Xia glanced at it and nodded with a smile: "You are a smart boy. You can go in with the Za family."
This was considered to be a passing test. Bihe was overjoyed and left the two palace maids behind, carrying food boxes alone and following Eunuch Xia into the palace gate.
The doors and windows in the palace were closed, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly. Bihe couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Why don't you light a lamp?"
Eunuch Xia made a silence gesture towards her, and then told her in a low and inaudible voice: "Your Majesty won't let you light the lamp. He is in a bad mood now. You must be careful later."
Bi He woke up secretly in his heart and did not dare to speak out again.
They knelt down in front of the screen, and Eunuch Xia whispered: "Your Majesty, the chef in the imperial kitchen has made some late-night snacks. They are all the dishes that Le Concubine used to love. Would you like to try them?"
After a long silence, a low, slightly hoarse voice came from behind the screen: "You come in and wait for me to change clothes and wash up."
This means they are willing to try it! Both Eunuch Xia and Bi He breathed a sigh of relief. Bi He got up and went to prepare the food. Eunuch Xia walked around the screen and lit a candlestick. The dim candlelight illuminated this small place. He teased
After getting up under the gauze curtain, he carefully helped the emperor get up and change clothes. He had not gone out for three days, and the emperor's face was almost sickly pale. The thick and complicated brocade robe with bright yellow dragon patterns on his body made him look darker and darker.
Even Eunuch Xia, who had watched the emperor grow up, could not help but feel fear. He secretly sighed that his Majesty's majesty was increasing day by day, which really made people around him both respected and feared.
The emperor sat at the table. He looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but sway slightly. He seemed to see the little joy of the past through these dishes. At that time, she liked these dishes the most and often asked the chef in the imperial kitchen to eat them.
Cook it and eat it. Unfortunately, these dishes have a strong taste. The emperor is not used to eating them, so they all went into Xiao Lezi's stomach.
She often said at that time that if he didn't eat these dishes, he would be unlucky.
Hehe, she is probably the only person in the world who dares to say that he has a bad taste. Xiao Feng smiled helplessly, picked up a spoon, scooped some sugar water and put it into his mouth. His movements were elegant and calm. Xiao Lezi used to like to watch her the most.
The way he looked at eating made her envious that he was one of the few people she had ever seen who could eat so beautifully.
After taking a sip of sugar water, a sweet feeling spread across his stomach. Xiao Feng didn't like sweets, but surprisingly he felt that the taste was not bad.
He ate slowly and slowly, and before long, he had eaten all the dishes on the table.
The royal education from childhood told him not to eat all the food when eating, because this is a sign of gluttony, so his habit is to leave some food untouched every time he eats. Xiaolezi once accused him of this being a waste.
Grain's behavior is shameful and should be despised. She even recited a song "Hoe" to mock him in front of him.
Xiao Feng looked at the clean dishes in front of him and thought that he had gotten rid of his wasteful habits. Why couldn't she praise him?
The seat next to her is empty, oh, is it because she is no longer here?
Seeing the emperor's lonely back, Eunuch Xia and Bi He felt uncomfortable. They lowered their heads, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and silently left the room.
Everything returned to calm again. Xiao Feng lay quietly on the bed. He turned sideways and gently touched the empty pillow next to him. His eyes were so gentle that they could almost overflow. He closed his eyes and murmured like a nightmare: "I miss you so much."
…”
The next day Xiao Feng got up on time, had breakfast, and went to court surrounded by a group of attendants.
Recently, the censor Song Huaicai was investigating the inside story of Prime Minister Qu's treason case seventeen years ago. This matter caused quite a stir in the court. The conservatives headed by Prime Minister Wang Qiuyu pointed at Song Huaicai almost every morning.
He scolded him a few times, accusing him of even refusing to let go of dead people for the sake of fame and wealth. He was simply crazy!
Yushi of the Song Dynasty was born with an aura of righteousness. Wherever he stood, even if he did not speak, people would think that he was an upright and upright person. Faced with all the accusations and abuses, Yushi of the Song Dynasty just took it calmly and acted politely.
Putting on a lofty and dignified appearance like "you can say whatever you want, I am not as knowledgeable as you" makes the opponent feel like a punch on cotton, making them more and more angry and frustrated.
Today's morning court meeting was no exception. Song Yushi still stood upright in the main hall, ignoring the criticisms and curses of the people next to him, and held his hand firmly to express hatred.
Until Prime Minister Wang Qiuyu said: "The Qu family's treason case was judged by the late emperor. The Song Yushi wants to appeal for the Qu family's injustice and overturn the case. Isn't it telling the world that the late emperor made a mistake in the case back then? You are simply doing this.
To slap the late Emperor in the face and ignore the late Emperor's majesty is really very courageous!"
Seeing that his opponent had moved the late emperor out, Song Yushi finally raised his eyebrows. Just when everyone was watching a show and waiting for him to be severely punished, he spoke unhurriedly: "The late emperor
There is no doubt that he is Mingjun, but no matter how wise the king is, he cannot prevent someone from forming a clique in private to frame Zhongliang. I am willing to overturn the case for the Qu family. My original intention is to give justice to Prime Minister Qu and punish those who dare to
The thieves who were tampering under the nose of the late emperor were caught out to set the record straight! I believe that even if the late emperor was still alive, with his broad mind, he would not care about this trivial matter. However, Prime Minister Wang, your reaction was too extreme, which made me feel
Your attention to this case has gone far beyond the normal scope. Do you have any important evidence in your hands? Everyone is here today. Why don't you take out the evidence in front of everyone so that I can
This old case can be settled more quickly." (To be continued)
