(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your opinions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and pay attention to it to give more support to "The Palace Maid Marries"!) It's three days of sunrise when you wake up.
Ru Xuan rubbed her shoulder, which was a little sore because of sleeping on her side, got up, dressed, washed, and had breakfast, as usual.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the day when the emperor wants to go to the imperial garden to see the hibiscus flowers.
Today is also a turning point in Chaumet's life.
It's just that the matchmaking work has been completed, and Ru Xuan thinks that she has no right or time to take care of Shang Meiren's own private affairs, so she still took the book and prepared to go out.
But before she walked out of the door, Ru Xuan was stunned, took a sharp breath and stopped. After a moment of thought, he folded back and put the book back on the square table at the head of the bed.
It's better not to go, it's hot today, and it's tiring to go back and forth......
Ru Xuan made excuses for herself, unwilling to admit that she was afraid of seeing the note that no one had collected, and she was afraid that her heart would be blocked.
"Isn't my sister going out today?" Ru Xuan has become accustomed to going out every day, and seeing that Ru Xuan seems to be staying in the room today, Qiaohui asked curiously.
"Yes." Ru Xuan touched her nose and tried her best to sound calm: "Don't go out, it's weirdly hot." ”
"Oh." Qiaohui was not suspicious.
Now that the summer solstice has arrived, it will be the hot weather soon, and the humidity and heat will become more and more unbearable, and it is normal to be reluctant to go out.
"Then I'll get busy first." Qiao Hui left the room and shouted from afar.
Ru Xuan's vacation is not over yet, but Qiaohui still has serious things to do, so naturally she can't accompany her more, and after cleaning up, she will go to start the day's work.
And Ru Xuan also rubbed her temples, opened the book, and read it word by word.
Fortunately, the state is still there today.
An article was still able to read it seriously, and Ru Xuan thought that she was still satisfied, so she continued to read it attentively, leaving those complicated emotions behind.
Dinner, as usual, is still served in the room.
To Ru Xuan's surprise, today's dishes were unusually hearty, with shredded pork with green peppers, steamed pork, stir-fried potatoes and green vegetables, and a large bowl of fish head tofu soup. Although each dish is very shallow, there are meat dishes, and there are still so many types, which is unseen and unheard of.
When did this Huanyi Bureau become so generous?
Thinking of the green vegetables and tofu every day in the past, Ru Xuan's eyes straightened when she looked at these dishes: "Is today a festive day?" How much is the meal so rich? ”
"My sister doesn't know." Qiao Hui smiled and served a bowl of fish head soup for Ru Xuan: "I heard that the front line won the battle, and the emperor set up a celebration banquet to wash the dust for the generals on the front line!" ”
Victory?
At this time, it was the period of Renzong of the Song Dynasty, surrounded by Western Xia, Khitan and other countries, and these two countries repeatedly violated the border, making the people at the junction miserable.
It's just that today to hold a celebration banquet, it is naturally grand and extraordinary, summoning the generals during the day to talk about the side line, and setting up a banquet in the evening to show the emperor's grace.
Presumably, today's emperor should be very busy......
What about Shang Meiren?
Ru Xuan chuckled in her heart, and she was half cold.
In history, Song Renzong did not have the eloquence of Song Taizu and the versatility of Song Huizong, but among the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty, the evaluation of Song Renzong by later generations was very high. This is due to Song Renzong's kindness, generosity and simplicity, and he was never arrogant and lascivious, and made quite outstanding contributions to the country in politics, military, and literature.
Such an emperor naturally puts national affairs in the first place, and his personal emotions are naturally in the back row.
The so-called Princess Yisi Wenqin and the so-called hibiscus flowers are nothing in front of such a celebration banquet.
It's really a thousand calculations, it's better to count the sky!
Ru Xuan silently felt sorry for Shang Meiren.
A good and dignified young woman, she has been sick in bed all the year round when she enters the palace, and she is not allowed to be favored, and her father has been falsely accused of being a prisoner.
What a hard worker!
Really, since there is a celebration banquet to be held today, such an important banquet must have been decided at least a few months ago, how could Shiqi go to the imperial garden to "meet" the emperor at this juncture?
Or is it that no matter how busy he is, no matter what major events he encounters, the emperor will go to the imperial garden rain or shine to see the so-called hibiscus flower?
Ru Xuan was a little unsure of what the situation was now, but she felt that her brain was very messy, inextricably linked, and she had a headache.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Qiao Hui saw that Ru Xuan was holding the fish soup for a long time, and she didn't drink a sip of the soup when it was almost cold, and smiled narrowly: "Or is this soup too fresh, and my sister bit her tongue?" ”
"Where?" Being ridiculed by Qiaohui like this, Ru Xuan realized that she was distracted, and blushed to refute.
Qiaohui joked unrelentingly: "If you don't bite your tongue, then what's the daze?" Or is my sister, like the other sisters, thinking about being loyal to the king? ”
"King Chung? Who is ......?"
Did the Song Dynasty have this king?
Ru Xuan was immediately confused......
The emperor's current heirs are still young, and they will not be crowned kings when they are minors, and there are not many brothers of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, but most of them died young, and only Zhao Zhen really survived, so he can also inherit the unification. Although she was reading this period of history back then, she also secretly thought about whether it was because of the palace infighting that his brothers died early, leaving him alone......
It turns out that Zhao Zhen is not alone, and he has a brother!
It's just that this so-called loyal king has never heard of it, and it has not been recorded in history. However, after all, she is also a person who should not appear in history, and Ru Xuan did not criticize the incorrectness of history.
"Sister doesn't even know about King Zhong?" Qiao Hui chuckled twice, and pretended to be mysterious: "King Zhong is the only brother of the emperor, and he is also the most beloved son of the emperor. Leading troops to fight is a must, this time to fight with Western Xia, I heard that it is also thanks to the wisdom of King Zhong's martial arts, to break the enemy army! ”
"What's more, King Zhong is clean and self-conscious, and he has not married so far, and I don't know how many daughters of powerful families in Kyoto want to see him!" Qiao Hui's eyes lit up, and she looked like a nymphomaniac to the extreme.
Ru Xuan, who was listening from the sidelines, pursed her lips and expressed disdain.
What kind of style is unparalleled, can be civil and martial, clean and self-clean...... It's just a superficial phenomenon!
The mansions are all built with high walls, and the outside looks glamorous, but who knows the turbulent and dirty things inside? Ru Xuan has seen countless histories or wild histories of infighting in the mansions, and knows the twists and turns.
Besides, in this ancient feudal society with three wives and four concubines, and a lot of girls in the room, she didn't believe that there was a high-ranking and powerful loyal king who could do anything to clean himself!
