Chapter 68: Fueling the Flames

The emperor was troubled by the self-proclaimed Empress Dowager in front of the Empress Dowager Hua of the Ci'en Palace, Wang Shanggong felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Wang Shanggong said: "Your Majesty, slave maid ......"

The emperor slapped his thigh with a fan: "Just call yourself a slave!" ”

Cao Xiuyi let out a happy "ha", of course her husband is towards herself, this humiliation is more relieving than a slap in the face of the Queen Mother. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As if he had been pardoned and liberated, he went over briskly, picked up a cup of tea, half-squatted and saluted, and respectfully presented his hands to the woman in black wearing a veil: "Empress Dowager Hua Wanfu Jin'an, the slave and maid are the slave and maid, please forgive the slave and maid for the sin of negligence, the first time we met, the slave and maid replaced the wine with tea, and I wish you a thousand years of life and a thousand years of life!" ”

Empress Dowager Hua didn't expect that Tutuoyu would really do this, and she was very sincere, and she was at a loss for a while.

How does this work?

Ying Chen covered her face and said, "Queen Mother, this is what she should do!" ”

The Empress Dowager Hua had to take the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and said with both hands: "Don't dare to be, this is the tea of the Empress Dowager, and the mourning family didn't bring a greeting gift in a hurry......"

Remembering that she had an embroidered lotus veil on her body, she saw at a glance that the other party's snow-white wrist was wearing a string of rare flame beads, and she thought that it was the extremely valuable thing that made her unable to take out a shabby gift, so she stopped all activities and was stunned.

Zun smiled: "Queen Mother, you don't need to call her to take off the Queen Mother, as long as you are the same as the Queen Mother, just ask her to take off the fish, then I will give her this as a welcome gift for you." ”

Because he was holding a piece of lotus seed and lily cake with chopsticks, he walked over and fed it to the mouth of the fisherman.

Totoyu said: "You can eat when you say it, the minister's ......"

Less nonsense!

Her mouth was stuffed into a piece of snack, choked, and her mouth said indistinctly: "Your Majesty, give the minister tea, it's right at your hand." ”

"That's not good, so many people are watching, if I really do that kind of thing, I will be responsible."

Everyone didn't know what responsibility he was responsible for handing over a cup of tea.

Die!

Tuo Yu scolded in his heart, took a cup of tea handed over by the palace maid, and took a big sip.

Ordered: "Pearl, tortoiseshell, wait for the Empress Dowager Hua to go to the bathroom to bathe, the palace has a few sets of wide and plain Queen Mother clothes for her old man to take out and choose to change, jewelry looks like a good fit." ”

Pearl, tortoiseshell agreed, and guided the Empress Dowager Hua away.

Wang Shanggong bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, dinner time is almost here, can the slave and maid retire first?" ”

"You preside over the Shang Food Bureau, and the food you send is all rancid, and you are not afraid of eating a few people from Yongning Palace to death?" The emperor took a sip of iced chrysanthemum tea, and his breath was colder than herbal tea.

Wang Shanggong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely nothing. You know it's hot, maybe some people don't have much appetite, maybe some people are too busy, they just put it there, it's spoiled for a long time, and then blame it on the head of the Shangshi Bureau. ”

"This is also, maybe it's not their fault, it's my fault that blames you. In fact, the thing should be like this, the emperor ordered the queen mother to be grounded, you perceive the holy will, give them a little bitter taste of Yongning Palace, this is also your clever place, but I tell you, smart is mistaken by smart, only the Shang Palace of the Shang Food Bureau in the six bureaus of this palace can't be like this, if you even use people casually, the food you make will also be used, then even I won't dare to use the meals you make anymore! You tell me? “

Wang Shanggong listened to it with shame, sweating all over his body, kowtowing heavily: "Your Majesty! The slave and maid understand, and in the future, they will wholeheartedly manage the food bureau, as for the other rights and wrongs, they have nothing to do with the slave and maid, as long as they do every meal carefully, after all, only the trust of His Majesty is the foundation of the slave and maid's meals. ”

Zun: It's best if you understand that.

Cao Xiuyi knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with her instructing the Shangshi Bureau to deal with Yongning Palace, so she diverted the topic and said: "When Yongning Palace was grounded, it was also the fault of the Shangshi Bureau to ask the palace maid to bribe the guards with silver, and want to sneak out of the palace and go back to the house to get chicken, duck and fish?" The first emperor's great ceremony, will the queen mother die if she doesn't open the meat? ”

Detachment is silent.

Zun: "Yes, there are a lot of things that eat other people's rice for nothing!" ”

Cao Xiuyi took the incense fan and squeezed the inner supervisor of the palm fan aside, fanned the wind, and said with his lips: "That's it!" The meal was so positive, but not a single tear was shed in front of the first emperor's spirit, and it is said that even the golden mastiff raised by the first emperor shed tears because of the loss of its owner! The Queen Mother is not as benevolent as a dog. ”

Tuo Yu also smiled: "Cao Xiuyi, who shed tears, is as benevolent and righteous as the first emperor's dog!" ”

Princess Yingchen lay on the back of her "husband" and couldn't laugh breathlessly.

Cao Xiuyi's face changed color with anger from their scoundrels, "Don't interrupt!" The first emperor's funeral has not passed, you can't secretly open meat, even if you are the queen mother, you can't escape the punishment of being beaten into the cold palace! ”

Zun squinted his eyes in the cool breeze of Cao Xiuyi's fan, and asked with a smile: "Are you so greedy?"

"Yes, the minister is very greedy, in the past, when he was in the Wei Palace, he didn't eat meat, and he almost died, so he sent the minister into the palace of three corpses!"

Ying Chen shouted, "Husband, is the same as me!" No meat, no joy. ”

Cao Xiuyi scolded in a low voice: Shameless!

Zun shook his head: "Liar! In my opinion, those things were actually given to the nurses of King Shou, right? ”

Desensitization hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty's eyes are the brightest and your heart is the brightest!" Since the death of the first emperor, the nurses have to go to the Dafu Hall regularly to cry, and the weather is hot, and then the soup is replaced with vegetables and mushrooms made of tofu, they have almost no milk, Shouwang is hungry and crying, the queen mother can't even share the blood bird's nest white fungus soup she uses every day, but it is useless. ”

Wang Shanggong listened to the explanation: "Xiuyi Niangniang has a will, no killing is allowed in the palace, and the soup of the nurses is naturally replaced with vegetarian food." ”

desensitization said: "Shanggong Niangniang, we have checked the records of the Department of Internal Affairs, in the past, Emperor Wenzong was gone, and during the national funeral, it did not reach the point where the diet of the breastfeeding princes and grandsons was cut off. Besides, let the chef of the Wei Palace's stew the tonic in a cup and send it in the food box, and he didn't kill in the palace. It's just that the person guarding the door didn't say that the Empress Dowager of Yongning Palace was grounded, and everyone couldn't come out half a step, so the scene where His Majesty saw the tortoiseshell and the guards with silver bribed the father-in-law just now. ”

Wang Shanggong said hesitantly: The father-in-law is very thoughtful, but in fact, it can also be ......

"Don't break it if you see through it, Your Majesty said it, do you want Cao Xiuyi to become Cao Chengrong?" Totoyu coldly took the conversation.

Cao Xiuyi also said coldly: "Why did the concubine change into Cao Chengrong? What kind of bastard statement is this, how can anyone dare to kill in the Mandaxing Mansion, and the Wei Wangfu is bold? Hum! If that's the case, when the first emperor was there, he took care of the prince of Wei in every way, and he took care of everything, but now he repays Jun's grace like this, and his conscience really makes the dog eat! ”

Tuo Yu said with a smile: "This palace also knows, but the rules are dead, and people are alive." Why did Emperor Wenzong give a small amount of meat to the nurses when he died, so as to maintain the daily life of the nursing princes, Cao Xiuyi made a big fuss about this matter, targeting a nursing child, which is also to repay Jun's grace? ”

Cao Xiuyi stomped his feet and said, "Your Majesty! The rules are the rules, the royal family broke it first, and the babies in Daxingfu and their nurses and mothers were going to make a fuss. ”

Zun nodded: "I see, I decreed that during the national funeral, if there is a baby in the family in Daxing Mansion, the nursing mother and mother do not have to be vegetarian, but only the slaughter of poultry is limited, and the number is limited." ”

Everyone knelt down: Your Majesty!

Gao Changshi hurried out and issued a holy decree to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households.

Since the emperor has made his attitude on this matter clear, Cao Xiuyi saluted: Your Majesty, the concubine still has something to do, so she will retire.

She also felt that she didn't seem to be taking much responsibility for this matter, and what she said just now was too big, leaving almost no room for herself to turn around.

Pulling out to leave, Ying Chen jumped over to block the way: "Brother Emperor!" Could it be that the slap of the courtier's sister was in vain! Could it be that the queen mother and the detoyu were humiliated by her in vain? Don't? Well, the princess was beaten, the queen mother was humiliated, and the husband was bullied, what face did she have to live in this world, and the courtier sister committed suicide in front of her father's spirit! ”

Totoyu pulled her to fan the fire: "Ying Chen! Don't be like this, in fact, you are stupid, your emperor's brother is not familiar with you, there is a way to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, not to mention that you are just a half-sister? ”

"Humph! Since the emperor's brother is disgusted with his sister, the sister is dead! Come on, prepare a three-foot white silk! "No one can stop Princess Yingchen from crying.

The palace people of Yongning Palace didn't know what was going on today, so they knelt on the ground and cried: Your Royal Highness the Princess! Your daughter's body, don't kill yourself! (To be continued)
