144 A little foolishness
Faced with Yao Man's questioning, Ji Qiran frowned and replied, "I can't tell clearly." ”
In fact, even he himself was a little confused, because he felt that Chu Qingluo before and after amnesia was a completely different person.
Yao Man thought he was casually perfunctory to her, and said hurriedly: "Since you want to spread it out today, you should say it thoroughly!" ”
Ji Qiran stared at her, sighed lightly, and replied: "You have to tell me a reason, I can only say that her smile and smile now are deeply attracted to me, and even every word she says, I don't want to miss it." ”
Hearing this answer, Yao Man's heart thumped fiercely! Although she still didn't know what Chu Qingluo had that she didn't have, Ji Qiran's heart was already tightly tied to Chu Qingluo's body, leaving no room for her to work hard.
She didn't know where she had lost, only that she had lost completely.
"Will you invite her to the door?" Yao Man pretended to be calm, but his voice was trembling.
“…… She didn't say yes. This is equivalent to asking Ji Qiran's sore spot, the corners of his lips hooked, and then said: "But it doesn't matter, she will agree sooner or later." ”
His words made Yao Man like a fish in his throat!
She wanted to vomit as soon as possible, and even more wanted to smash the cold Changxuan Palace, and vent all her grievances happily...... But the reality is, she can't do anything!
Ji Qiran looked at her with apologies in his eyes. "It's all about me, I should tell you as soon as possible."
Yao Man sneered, Ji Qiran didn't owe her at all! Since she chose to support Princess Anyang because of him, it has always been her wishful thinking! Who can complain about?!
At this moment, I have become a mute who will only feel heartache and numbness!
……
On this day, after a few days of drying of the newly made duvet for the empress, Chu Qingluo packed it and brought it into the Fengluan Palace.
The empress looked at such a large box in front of her, and said in surprise: "Lord Chu, what is in this box?" ”
"Back to the saint, this box contains a duvet." Chu Qingluo replied and opened the box, but there was still a smell of goose.
The empress couldn't help frowning and said, "Why does this thing smell?" ”
"Saint, this down futon is warm and light, and it is made of selected white goose fluff, which is definitely a good product to keep out the cold. Although the taste is still inexhaustible, this does not affect its function. ”
The empress's flying eyebrows were slightly raised, obviously a little unconvinced. "You're saying it's just such a thin layer to withstand the cold of winter?"
"Exactly."
"But this thing doesn't look as thick and warm as the fur."
"Xiaguan is bold, please wait for a while and it will be colder, and then try to use this down futon to keep it warm."
Seeing that Chu Qingluo recommended it so strongly, the empress said casually: "Okay, since you said so, I will accept it first, and Lord Lao Chu will bother." ”
"That's what a subordinate should do." Chu Qingluo replied with a courtesy. She planned to wait for the empress to really try it and think that the thing was very good, and then help Jiang Hua and the imperial dining room to ask for credit.
……
As night falls, the moonlight shines on the yellow glazed tiles.
A gray-blue man in a long robe walked quickly on the carved blue bricks outside the Fengluan Palace, and came to the gate of the palace in a blink of an eye. Waiting for Chonghuan to withdraw from the hall and nod slightly at him, he stepped into the palace door.
"Is Ziyan here?" The Empress's voice came from the inner sanctum.
The gray-blue robed man had also come to the inner hall at this time, and he stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "The Holy Lord is really good ears. ”
"Your steps are always in a hurry." The Empress leaned back on the bench and held out her hand to him.
"Ziyan didn't dare to let the saint wait." He smiled, bowed his head to the empress's hand, and sat down next to her. "When I just passed through the outer hall, I saw a futon next to the incense burner.
"Well, that futon was offered by Lord Chu two days ago, and it was said to be made of white goose fluff, which is quite cold."
As soon as Ziyan heard Chu Qingluo's name, his heart was cordial. "When Ziyan was still in the Garment Pavilion, he often used Lord Chu to come up with a lot of new things."
The empress nodded slightly: "She does have a lot of ingenuity. It's just that I still have some smell of the futon, so I smoke it with incense first. ”
Seeing the empress say this, Ziyan thought about it and said with a smile: "The saint is really good-natured, Ziyan has always been tempted to give it a try immediately when it comes to new things." ”
The empress looked at him with a light in her eyes and laughed: "Since Ziyan is anxious, then I'll let you try it for me tonight." ”
After hearing this, Ziyan was pleasantly surprised: "What an honor Ziyan is to be able to test things for the saint!" ”
He said this from the bottom of his heart. Even if he asked him to test the poison for the empress, he was willing. What's more, this thing is a thing that doesn't enter the mouth, and it is still made by Chu Qingluo, so it is absolutely safe.
"Okay, the futon will be given to you tonight to try first."
"Thank you!" Ziyan saluted happily.
……
The next day, after retiring from the early dynasty, the empress summoned Chu Qingluo to the Fengluan Palace.
"Chu Aiqing is exempt from the courtesy, give the seat."
"Thank you, Holy Lord." Chu Qingluo was a little flattered. But judging from the empress's title of 'Aiqing', she decided that it must be a good thing to come to her this time, so she sat down with peace of mind.
"The down futon that Chu Aiqing offered is really a good thing." The empress said straight to the point: "Ziyan said that on this day, I will sweat as soon as I cover it. He didn't believe that this light thing was so warm, so he tried again, but he sweated for two nights. Speaking of this, the empress seemed a little amused.
As soon as Chu Qingluo heard that Ziyan tried it first, he immediately understood that he must have helped her say a lot of good things, so he silently thanked him in his heart. "It's really embarrassing for Lord Ziyan."
"That's why he's anxious and willing to try it." The empress hooked her red lips and said, "Chu Aiqing made this futon, but it took a lot of thought, right?" ”
Chu Qingluo raised his hand: "Back to the saint, when making this futon, Lord Jiang Hua and the imperial dining room helped the officials a lot, and this was successfully completed." ”
The empress nodded: "Such good products should be promoted by the whole country." ”
"This ......" Hearing the empress's words, Chu Qingluo couldn't help but sweat for those geese and ducks. It's just that the amount of down required for this bedding is a lot, and the cost is relatively high, so I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy the whole country for the time being. ”
"Well......" the empress pondered for a moment before sighing, "What a pity! ”
"It is a blessing for the people to think of the people." Chu Qingluo paused, and then continued: "Xia Guan thinks that a large breeding farm can be built outside the palace first, specializing in breeding ducks and geese in large quantities. In this way, it can not only be used for the imperial food in the palace, but also sold to the people at a low price. The most important thing is that the fluff is left behind. ”
Seeing that the empress was silent, Chu Qingluo added: "This is just a little foolish opinion of the lower officials......" (To be continued.) )
