95. Rong Guogong
After boiling the tea, Wei Qian went back and served it to the emperor and the queen mother. Because the Emperor Taishang didn't like Buddhism, he simply stayed for a while and then took everyone away.
Empress Dowager Chen didn't want to be with the Emperor Taishang and the Zhen family, but several concubines didn't dare to offend the Emperor. The emperor was in front, and several concubines followed obediently.
The Queen Mother was helpless, Wei Qian and another Baolin accompanied the Queen Mother, hanging far behind to see the scenery, and everyone left slowly from the Guanyin Temple.
Nanshan is very large, and when he walked to a peach forest, Taishang Real Madrid had the idea of hunting and picnic in Nanshan.
The Queen Mother wanted to dissuade her, but Concubine Zhen and the Zhen family next to her flattered her, and directly began to prepare to set up a camp.
Wei Qian looked at this peach forest, her heart moved, and she deliberately chose a forest to the south. Walking through the forest, you can vaguely see the pavilion in the distance.
"Mother, let's rest here?"
"We're camping in the wilderness, and we don't have many people with us, so what if something happens?"
"The concubine ordered the guards to go back to the city to deliver the message, and then let people come over to guard Nanshan." Wei Qian comforted with kind words, and the two sat by the tent and chatted.
When everyone set up camp, Emperor Taishang rushed to take a group of men to hunt. Only the Queen Mother and the concubines remained, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen Gui stared wide-eyed.
"Hmph, there is a play, and you don't know how to persuade!" The Empress Dowager was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's actions.
"My sister doesn't dare to persuade Her Majesty, my sister is just a concubine, how dare she anger Long Yan?" Concubine Zhen Gui was a little proud, and it was obvious that the emperor favored herself more than the titular queen mother.
After the abdication, although the emperor still abused his power, he acted a lot freely. You can come as much as you like, take what you want from your favorite concubine, and follow the Zhen family. Although he also knows what the Zhen family does, there is a bottom line. After he dies, he doesn't care what happens to the Zhen family, but when he is alive, he can't let the Zhen family have an accident, it's a matter of face.
The Queen Mother ignored her and said to Wei Qian: "Concubine Ning, what about those things we brought when we came out?" ā
Wei Qian instructed Hongchun to present the box. There are all kinds of bottles and cans in the box, even cumin spices from the Western Regions.
The concubine guessed that she might have a picnic for this outing, so she prepared various spices and tea. Just look for vegetables and process them. ā
He also instructed Hongchun to go to Doumu Temple to ask for raw food: "There are few people in Doumu Temple, and there are not too many fresh vegetables, so it is not good for the sisters not to eat at night." You take the money and take a few people to the nearby houses and other temples to have a look, and share the profits with each other, and it should be enough to have a meal. As for meat dishes, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely return from hunting, and you only need vegetarian dishes. ā
Hongchun led people down to operate, and soon after that, he gathered a cart of vegetables, and then led people to start stir-frying.
Because this stir-fry is not only for the concubines, but also for the guards and palace maids, several concubines and even Wei Qian did not do anything.
Sitting next to him, he suddenly heard a rooster crowing in the grass not far away.
The female eunuch next to the Queen Mother went over to take a look, and came back to report: "Niangniang, it's a pheasant." ā
"Pheasant?" The Queen Mother suddenly pouted: "This palace suddenly wants to eat tea chicken." Looking at the tea leaves in Wei Qian's hands: "Concoct the chicken, divide the tea leaves into two, fill half with chicken belly and half fry to make oil." After steaming and cooking, the tea oil is poured on it, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, there is the fragrance of tea leaves, and it is the most delicious. ā
"Since the Queen Mother wants to eat it, let them do it." Pauline next to him smiled and told the guards to catch chickens.
But the pheasant was untamable, and the gray-haired pheasant fluttered its wings and flew constantly, which made the guards unbearable.
"Niangniang, forgive the ministers for not being able to wait." The commander of the guards stepped forward to plead guilty.
"Well, pheasants are hard to catch. It turned out to be a whim of the palace, and it has nothing to do with you. The Queen Mother was a little disappointed, but she didn't blame her for it, and didn't say anything to let people go down and pay attention to the guards.
Wei Qian couldn't look at it, so Huo Ran got up: "Niangniang take it a little." ā
Wei Qian beckoned one of the guards to come over, stepped forward and took his bow and arrows and stepped into the grass. The pheasant was combing his feathers not far away, and when he saw Wei Qian pull the bowstring, he immediately fluttered his wings and flew away.
With a whoosh, the arrow shot out and hit instantly.
"Good archery!" The guards next to him lit up, and immediately remembered their identity, and kept silent.
Wei Qian glanced at the guard, vaguely remembering his identity. Walking in front of the emperor, he is a member of the queen's mother's family.
"Wang Zheng, you go and bring the pheasant back, order someone to pluck the feathers and send it to the Queen Mother."
Wei Qian saw that the bow and arrow were changed back, and calmly returned to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect you to have a good archery skill." ā
"When I was a child, I hunted in the mountains all year round, and I was familiar with the environment of Nanshan, but I didn't expect my hands to be rusty." Wei Qian and the Queen Mother waited for a while, and the guards brought a roast chicken with brown tea leaves.
Smelling the fragrance of tea, Baolin next to him couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Empress Dowager Chen took two bites, then put down the chopsticks for Wei Qian and others to enjoy.
Wei Qian tasted it and said suspiciously: "It tastes good, why don't you use it more?" ā
"After all, it's not the taste of childhood." The Queen Mother shook her head sadly. Thinking of his life when he was young, he was stunned.
Heart disease also requires heart medicine, and Wei Qian has no problem with this. After waiting by the side for a while, the Emperor Taishang came back with a large number of prey. Grill it with condiments and send it to Wei Qian and other concubines.
"Barbecue, beauty, it's a pity that there is no good wine." Emperor Taishang glanced around and saw the venison in front of Wei Qian and the others. Although the concubines are beautiful and delicious, they are not beautiful after all without the company of wine.
At this time, Wei Qian smiled calmly. Get up and take people to dig under the pavilion in the south.
Seeing Wei Qian's actions, the Emperor Taishang's expression moved slightly, and he vaguely guessed what Wei Qian was doing: "Is it still there?" Impossible, right? ā
Wei Qian instructed the guards to dig under the pavilion, and after a while, he dug out two jars of old wine. One of the bottles also has a jade ring on the side.
"It's still there." Wei Qian was overjoyed and asked the guards to clean it and send it to the Emperor.
Wei Qian handed the jade ring to the Emperor Taishang: "Speaking of which, it is still the light of His Majesty, so that we can drink this sip of wine." ā
After taking the jade ring, the Emperor Taishang was quite touched. The wine under the pavilion was buried by him and Jia Daishan back then. Back then, the two hooked shoulders and backs, and after getting drunk, there were two jars of wine left, so Jia Daishan built yƬ buried under the pavilion and came back to drink it another day. This jade ring was left by the Emperor Taishang when he was still a prince.
"It's a pity that there was no day to return to this place, and this wine has never been touched." Emperor Taishang said to Wei Qian: "I didn't expect you to know about this. ā
"My grandfather mentioned it back then, and I just saw it before I suddenly remembered it." Wei Qian naturally wouldn't say that she came prepared, and took the opportunity to remind the Emperor of Jia Daishan. immediately started the conversation: "Speaking of which, the concubine has a reluctant request." ā
"What?" Thinking of Jia Daishan, the Emperor Taishang looked at Wei Qian's eyes a little softly. Speaking of which, Wei Qian's style of acting is quite similar to Jia Daishan.
"Grandpa said that this is what the future and His Majesty will drink together. Now take it out, can you ask Your Majesty to leave a cup and let the concubine be sent to the cemetery later. ā
"......" the Emperor Taishang said softly: "No, I will accompany him in a while." ā
Next, the camping didn't have the heart to play with Concubine Zhengui, and the emperor remembered the old man in the past, and took people to Jia Daishan's tomb to offer incense.
Emperor Taishang and the concubines made incense, and in the dark, Jia Daishan took some more dragon energy, his spirits were uplifted, and he stood in front of the tomb and looked at the Emperor Taishang with a complicated face.
The Emperor Taishang withdrew from everyone, took the remaining jar of wine, and sprinkled it in front of the tomb while drinking it himself, chattering about old things.
Jia Daishan's ghost listened quietly, but it was a pity that people and ghosts couldn't speak.
But after his death, he could still see the scene of the Emperor Taishang in front of his tomb, and said to Wei Qian in the distance with satisfaction: "Girl, thank you." "I couldn't bear to see the Emperor Taishang again, and turned into green smoke and returned to the ground.
It's just that next to the tombstone, there is a small flower slowly blooming.
Wei Qian moved her mouth and didn't speak again.
After the Emperor Taishang pondered for a while, his eyes were a little red, and then he ordered: "Order Jia to pardon the father and son, and spend the night in Jiafu tonight." ā
"Majesty!" Concubine Zhen's face changed, didn't she say that she would spend the night at Zhen's house today?
But after all, she has served the Emperor Taishang for many years, and Concubine Zhen Gui knows the temper of the Emperor Taishang, so she doesn't dare to say much, she only glares at Wei Qian with hatred. "Slut, it's really a disaster! Fight against Hongu from beginning to end. ā
At the beginning, Wei Qian gave eye medicine to the five princes, and later repeatedly targeted the Zhen family, and Zhen Guifei took note of each piece in his heart. I just didn't find a chance for revenge.
Now that the long-standing hatred has not been over, new hatreds have been added.
But Empress Dowager Chen's eyes lit up, and she pretended to be sad and said: "Speaking of which, after the death of Rong Guogong, the momentum of Jiafu has fallen again and again, where is the glory of the year now?" ā
Empress Dowager Chen and Wei Qian led the Emperor Taishang to Jiafu without a trace.
On the other side, Jia Yu's father and son walked with the holy car, and they were dumbfounded when they heard this.
"How is it good, the Emperor Taishang is coming to our Jia Mansion?"
Hurriedly asked the eunuch waiter, Jia Lian secretly stuffed the silver taels, and the eunuch said in a low voice: "This afternoon, the emperor took the concubines to have a picnic in Nanshan. Concubine Ning suddenly dug out two jars of wine from a pavilion, which were said to have been buried by the Emperor Taishang and the Duke of Rongguo. No, the emperor thinks about the old ministers, so he wants to drive the Jiafu. Master Xiao Jia, you have to take good grasp of it. The big eunuch glanced at Jia Lian meaningfully.
Jia Lian was excited: When my father was so good to my cousin, I was a little surprised. Now that I look at it, my father is still wise! Cousin Qian is really our lucky star!
If it weren't for Wei Qian, I'm afraid Jia Yu would have failed to stand in line for the first time back then, not to mention the prosperity of the big house now.
The father and son got the news and hurried back to Jiafu.
I saw Emperor Taishang standing in the study, staring at a few paintings hanging on the wall: "I remember that I gave Dai Shangong a few imperial ink treasures, I don't know where he put them?" ā
After Jia Yu came in, he said respectfully: "Father gave his few imperial ink treasures to Concubine Ning on his deathbed. Later, Concubine Ning Niangniang transferred it to the minister, and the minister added it as a dowry to the palace when the mother got married. ā
"In the palace?" The Emperor Taishang turned around and looked at Wei Qian with a surprised expression.
"Exactly, it's in the side hall of the Qingbian Palace." Wei Qian said softly: "After returning to the palace, your majesty can take it for a look." But after all, it is a relic of the grandfather, and the concubine body must be enshrined in the side hall. ā
Posing as a filial daughter, the Emperor Taishang looked satisfied: "Jia Daishan has a good granddaughter." ā
Jia Yu's father and son listened, and understood in their hearts that Jia Daishan had a position in the heart of the Emperor Taishang, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly: Yuanchun, Yuanchun, you are still your own granddaughter, and you have been in the palace for many years, and you can't get the care of the Emperor Taishang with the help of this good card. Sure enough, God help me!
Jia Yu stepped forward to ask where the Emperor Taishang lived tonight, only to see the Emperor Taishang wave his hand: "Go to Daishan's residence." Tonight, I'm resting here! ā
