Chapter 204: Dinner in the Palace
Since the queen was beaten into the cold palace, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, it has been unprecedentedly peaceful. There was only one thing, the guard who 'fornicated' committed suicide because he couldn't bear the torture.
On the same day, the father-in-law in charge of the Criminal Division Bureau went to Chaoxiang Palace to explain the situation to Du Youlan. At this time, Du Youlan, after a few days of conditioning, her body has improved a lot, and Yu Xuan often comes to sit, it is even better and faster, and she is also plump and delicate.
Originally, two days ago, the aunt of Chaoxiang Palace had been to the Criminal Bureau, hoping that the father-in-law in charge would be accommodating and good-natured. Unexpectedly, the queen was gone, and the father-in-law in charge still refused to let go, only saying to wait. No way, my aunt had to go back. But who would have thought that he would hear the news.
After all, he is a relative, and he entered that kind of place to do things, and now he died instead of being rescued, and he inevitably feels guilty in his heart. Moreover, Du Youlan, who has been favored, does not want to bring up the old matter again and cause trouble again. In this way, the father-in-law in charge was not difficult to do, and after coming to pass the word, Du Youlan did not say anything, but said: This palace knows. Thank you, father-in-law.
Justice: The slave is gone.
Seeing Du Youlan nodding, her father-in-law immediately saluted and ran away.
Inside the cold and secluded palace.
The inside and outside of the house were carefully cleaned by Qixuan. It is only because there are no objects in the hall that it seems to be large, and there is a longevity bed in the main room, a set of round wooden tables and chairs, and then a horizontal curtain facing the main entrance, which hangs down to the bottom, but the material is a little simpler, ordinary weaving. The object is worn, but it is still usable. The Qixuan Dyeing Branch sleeps in the side room, next to the main house, which is convenient to take care of. As for the side hall, it is vacant.
Every day, there will be some daily things sent by the little eunuch. Three meals a day were brought by someone else. It's not as good as it used to be, but it's not bad.
In the first few days, Qixuan Dyezhi had to clean all parts of the temple every day, and then repair the doors and windows. Then when I have free time, I will go outside the hall to sweep the dust and fallen leaves.
Although the cold palace is not large, it also has a front yard and a backyard, all of which are lush with green grass and green trees. The leafy ones are in line with Qingqing's temperament. After cleaning the front and back of the hospital together with Qixuan dyeing branches, the weeds were pulled out one by one. Today's Leng Yu Palace seems to be a little bit different.
Since he has entered the cold palace, he will inevitably be humiliated by people's eyes. Every time Qixuan Dyezhi went out to receive some objects, he would be sneered at by others. Although the father-in-law of the secretariat did not give them a good look, he still gave them the same good. But there was a little eunuch who was kind-hearted and called out to them: If you need anything in the future, find me, and I will send it.
Qi Xuan suddenly asked: Why?
The little eunuch smiled: Niangniang is good to the slave, I see it in my eyes, and naturally I don't want Niangniang to suffer. Well, let's not talk about it.
After saying that, he ran back. Liuqixuan and the two were stunned in place.
The good thing is that it gets done. What do you want in the cold palace, go to the little eunuch and do it. No, in order to make the yard look better, Qixuan Dyeing Branch asked him to bring a lot of flower seeds and vegetable seedlings and plant them. Then, as long as something went wrong, Qi Xuan would go to find the little eunuch.
It's not a hard time. In a few days, Chengli was managed by Lu Shui to arrange to guard near the Leng Yougong Palace, and there was also a guard who rescued Du Youlan from the water that time.
Suddenly, the summer day gradually receded after a heavy rain. It's getting cooler.
The bed was no longer enough. One day, Qi Xuan went out to the bureau to get it, who would think, the father-in-law in charge waved his hand and said: That's all for the cold palace, no more.
Qi Xuan said angrily: How can such a thin quilt be enough?
The supervisor is fair: The slave family does things according to the rules, and if you want to think about it, you can take out something to take a look. Otherwise, don't talk about it!
Qi Xuan was in a hurry, and only said one sentence: You wait in the future.
Then he turned and hurried away.
Since entering the Cold Palace, Qi Xuan has never complained for half a sentence, but today he was really angry with the old minion. Although his face was not revealed, since he came back, Qingqing Dye Zhi saw it.
Dye Zhi stepped forward, took the thin quilt in Qi Xuan's hand, and asked: Qi Xuan, what's wrong with you?
Qi Xuan looked at her, then looked at Qingqing again, and saw that both of them were worried, so he said: I was angry.
Qingqing asked: Who is angry with you?
Qi Xuandao: The old eunuch of the Bureau.
Saying this, Qingqing understood. Isn't the eunuch in charge an old eunuch? Qi Xuan often said that.
The dye branch was unknown, and asked rhetorically: Old eunuch?
Qingqing walked up a few steps, approached the two of them, and smiled: Isn't it the father-in-law in charge of the Bureau. Qi Xuan likes to scold people like that.
When Dyeda heard this, she laughed first.
Hearing this, Goodbye Dye Zhi smiled, and said hurriedly: Where is it, where is it?
Qingqing smiled: Okay, don't be angry because of that kind of person. Let's go inside and talk.
Now, there are only three of them in this cold and secluded palace, and no one has come to see them. When they have nothing to do, Qingqing and the three of them often sit together, talking and laughing, and talking about everything.
It's cold here, but it's drumming and flutes elsewhere.
A month later, Du Youlan's body had been fully recovered, and seeing that Yu Xuan had not come as often as before, when Yu Xuan came once, he tried his best to leave him behind, so that he could do things like men and women. Only by giving birth to a son and a half daughter, no one can shake his position in the harem. And Yu Xuan did not refuse to come, as long as Du Youlan had something to stay, he would stay overnight. As for Yiju Pavilion, I haven't been to it for a long time.
After a few months, it was almost late autumn, and the cold wind was shivering.
Fortunately, the quilts in the Leng Yougong Palace were all prepared, as well as charcoal fires and other things, all of which were brought by the little eunuchs of the bureau one by one. Every time Qi Xuan thanked him, he smiled and said, 'It's okay', and ran away without saying a word.
And in the palace, there is a dinner party. There are four reasons for this.
First, the famine was gone, and all the wheat seedlings that had been distributed and planted had grown, and a good harvest was harvested everywhere; second, the small countries from the east had come to seek dependence; and third, the great prince who had traveled far and wide had returned to the court.
The eldest prince of Xifeng, that is, Yu Xuan's royal brother, Yu Tong. Title, Duanwang.
On the day Yuxuan ascended the throne as emperor, he petitioned to leave and traveled around. Half a year has passed, and I finally see everyone.
On that day, the lights were colorful, the words were noisy, and the sound of coming and going was endless, so it was not lively. Foreign envoys, ministers of the DPRK and China, the four major families of Xifeng, and royal people were all included in the list, and they talked with each other. Most of them surrounded King Duan and the envoy, greeting each other and talking about opinions. It's a harmony.
From time to time, the sky gets dark, and the breeze blows, which makes people feel cold. Even if the palace lamp is raised, it still can't disperse the chill.
Listen to one adult and another say: This late autumn has arrived, and as soon as the sky is dark, the cool air will come from the bottom up.
Listen to another reply: yes. I think it's time to get out of the palace.
The adult nodded.
At this time, the ladies of the harem had already returned to the palace, but Yuxuan did not leave. When the adults saw this, they couldn't go away, so they had to grab Sanren and ask him to talk to the emperor.
After listening, Sanren understood the meaning. Then, I saw him walk to Yu Xuan's side and said softly: Your Majesty, this day is short, the weather is cold again, and the adults should leave the palace at the right time.
Yu Xuan asked: What time is it?
Sanren replied: The unitary time has passed, and it is the time of the unitary.
Yu Xuan said: Then let's disperse.
After speaking, Yu Xuan stood up and left.
