The emperor, the emperor is here?!

Wang Shantao opened his mouth, but before he could react, his body knelt down instinctively, kowtowed to the ground, and suddenly knelt down in the courtyard, he looked at the buttocks of the person in front of him, and then began to come back to his senses, the emperor came to the East Palace?

Why did the emperor come to the East Palace?

Wang Shantao is also an old man in this palace, from his errand, of course, I only saw the emperor summoning the prince, and the emperor's range of activities on weekdays is naturally the court, the deliberations of the Qinzheng Palace, the imperial study, sometimes to sit and rest at the concubines everywhere, and sometimes in the Qinzheng Palace.

Here in the East Palace, only before the prince moved in, the emperor had personally come to inspect the house, and the former prince had an accident, the emperor came to visit, this time, there was nothing, why did the emperor come?

Zhou Baolu hurriedly put on her robe, curled her hair, and asked the maids to help her out to pick up the car, her belly already had a protruding outline, and she walked slowly, and the emperor hurriedly instructed the attendants: "The crown princess is pregnant, and she is exempt from courtesy." ”

Zhou Baolu still asked someone to help Fu Yifu, but he didn't kneel, the emperor looked at the liveliness of the courtyard, and couldn't help but turn around and ask the crown prince Xiao Hongcheng who came with him: "What tricks are you doing in this courtyard?" Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, what are you doing when she can't give birth? ”

This daughter-in-law came out with tricks, and the emperor had learned it, so she naturally recognized it in Zhou Baolu.

Xiao Hongcheng showed a little dazed look: "Erchen doesn't know, when Erchen went out in the morning, there was no movement. ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Zhou Baolu.

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "I didn't expect my father to come to the East Palace, and my son lost his honor." ”

She did look like she had just taken a nap, and she looked like she was a little sleepy, and her hair was unkempt: "The yard is messy, people come and go, and the sons and daughters don't sleep when they rest, this time I heard that it was not so noisy, and I wanted to make up for my sleep, but I really didn't expect my father to come, I was in a hurry, and I hope that my father will forgive me." ”

She looked back at the people in the courtyard, and then said: "My father really wronged his son, this is really not the son's own doing, it is because the concubine is sympathetic to the son." Yesterday, at the end of the day, the concubine Niangniang sent someone to call me to Zhengming Palace to talk, I told the person that this day is too hot, I am afraid to go, if there is no important matter, just wait for the cooler to go, if the concubine Niangniang has something important, please come to the East Palace to say. ”

Zhou Baolu talked about calling the concubine to speak, and what she said was really reasonable, she didn't look at the emperor's face at all, and said with a smile: "But fortunately, the concubine is not in a hurry, otherwise I would be really embarrassed to see her old man coming under such a poisonous sun." ”

Zhou Baolu's attitude really made the emperor laugh angrily, Zhou Baolu also nagged and said: "But the concubine is sympathetic to the ministers, and I heard the ministers say that they are afraid of the sun, so they sent people from the Internal Affairs Bureau to say that they want to build a roof on the road of the East Palace. Naturally, I didn't dare to refuse, and besides, I also thought about how easy it was to build a roof on these roads, but it was only two or three days of work, and it was okay to come, so I called someone in and asked, oh yo, it's terrible, father, guess what? ”

Zhou Baolu said, laughed and gestured, his words and demeanor were full of closeness, and he didn't seem to be afraid to speak because his father was a ninefold supreme, which was even more intimate than talking to his mother's father.

Xiao Hongcheng had to interrupt Zhou Baolu's words: "My father came all the way, and in such a hot weather, why don't you invite my father to offer tea inside?" ”

Zhou Baolu found out at this time, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Oh, as soon as I saw my father coming, I was so happy, I forgot the etiquette, I should fight, my father is please, there is chilled sour plum soup, it is just right to eat at this time, and almond cheese, with milk, it is very fragrant, what does my father like to eat?" ”

As he spoke, he let the emperor in.

The emperor laughed and laughed, the previous idea was long gone, and sure enough, he walked inside, Xiao Hongcheng personally helped the emperor and glared at Zhou Baolu: "You eat ice again?" I've said it 10,000 times, but you don't listen, do you? ”

Zhou Baolu pouted: "I'm annoyed in my heart, the fire is burning, and I drank two sips smoothly, and I didn't drink much." ”

Because the emperor was in front of him, Xiao Hongcheng didn't dare to say more, but said: Go back and clean you up!

Zhou Baolu pouted, she said it too smoothly, she actually forgot about this, Dr. Xiao Su didn't allow her to eat ice, Xiao Hongcheng was faster than receiving the order, and she was really not allowed to eat it.

When the emperor sat down, Zhou Baolu asked someone to bring sour plum soup and almond cheese, and the almond cheese was really good, snow-white and tender, trembling in the agate plate, exuding a rich fragrance.

The emperor took two bites of almond cheese for the sake of face.

Zhou Baolu said with a smile on the side: "The prince's taste is really with his father, and even the way to eat it is the same, it's strange that he is his father and son." ”

The maid over there also served the prince a plate of almond cheese.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but look up, Xiao Hongcheng's movements with a spoon were the same as the emperor's, they were all cut into the almond cheese sideways like a knife, and then scooped out, and the emperor felt warm in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhou Baolu went on to complain: "Someone from the Internal Affairs Bureau came today, surveyed for a long time, and said that the project is not small, and it will take two or three months to dig the ground, so if you don't get autumn?" What kind of sun does it cover, it will only be available next year, so I thought, anyway, it will be used next year, and now I don't have to rush the deadline, so I might as well discuss it with them, and do it every morning for half a day, and do it slowly, and I am used to resting in the afternoon, so that they are noisy and I can't sleep, I have a headache, and my heart is annoying. But I'm a little afraid of the concubine, and I want to wait for the prince to come back and ask the prince to talk about it. ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this: "You are the crown princess, why are you afraid of the concubine?" ”

Zhou Baolu scratched his cheeks, thought for a while, and then looked confused, and said embarrassedly: "If you want to ask me what I'm afraid of, I can't understand, think about it carefully, it's nothing, even if you meet, it's rare, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, when I think of going to the concubine Niangniang to intercede, I feel a little worried in my heart, I really don't want to go, so I think about the ...... to the prince."

The truth of this complaint, especially the word 'pleading', vividly describes the situation of the noble concubine relying on her identity as a steward of the order, suppressing the crown princess, and sending people into the East Palace without consulting with the East Palace.

Even Xiao Hongcheng secretly admired how Zhou Baolu came up with these two words.

Sure enough, the emperor's face sank, and he put the plate on the table: "Send the concubine to lead the affairs in." ”

Soon, Wang Shantao came in with a bow, knelt down and kowtowed with sweat, and the emperor said, "What did the concubine tell you?" ”

Wang Shantao knew that the road was going to be bad today, and said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid was ordered by the concubine to build a road roof for the East Palace. ”

The emperor said: "Since the palace is being repaired, why do you ask the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau to come, and the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau?" The imperial court raised them to eat dry rice? ”

Wang Shantao desperately wanted to take himself out: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid also asked the concubine Niangniang, Niangniang said that now the Internal Affairs Office is busy with the happy events of several princes and princesses and county lords, but I am afraid that I will not be able to be busy and delay the time, this is not a big project, so Niangniang instructed the Internal Affairs Bureau to handle it at its discretion." ”

"Three or two months is not a big project!" The emperor said coldly, he didn't see that Wang Shantao was adhering to the meaning of the concubine, deliberately prolonged, and the East Palace was not disturbed, so he pondered how to deal with this matter.

It stands to reason that the concubine did make things difficult for the crown princess, but it was also within the scope of her duties, so it was nothing, but ......

The emperor looked at the prince's own son, looked at the smiling princess, and his grandson or granddaughter in his belly, and really couldn't let it go, and was groaning, Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "If you want me to say, it's quite good to build a shed, covering the sun in summer and snow in winter, and you can also cover the rain on weekdays, and your clothes are cleaner. Ask the prince to transfer the staff of the East Palace, and take it himself. ”

That's a slippery idea!

What kind of person is the emperor, as soon as he heard it, he knew that the princess was going to put up a sign for the concubine there, if it was a small banquet in the palace, it would often be held in Zhengming Palace, and the princess could point to the roof at any time and tell people how it came about.

The concubine is really embarrassed.

Zhou Baolu also knew that the emperor favored the concubine, and the concubine was in charge, but now because of her own precautions, the concubine's follow-up measures have not been used, this matter is really not big on the surface, for such a thing, to deal with the concubine in charge, even the emperor, it is not easy to deal with, it is better to change the angle.

The emperor thought for a while and nodded in response: "What you said is also true, the project of the East Palace is called by the prince to transfer people to do it, and the time is better to arrange it by himself, but you don't always have to go back to the concubine, it is cheaper and cheaper, the princess is pregnant, and everything is convenient for the princess." ”

The prince and his wife were busy standing up.

The emperor said to Wang Shantao, who was kneeling on the ground: "Since it is done according to the order of the concubine, it is not your business, you go back and tell the concubine that the Internal Affairs Bureau only needs to build a roof for the Zhengming Palace." ”

Wang Shantao can be regarded as having escaped, and he kowtowed tremblingly to accept the order.

Zhou Baolu said with a smile on the side: "It will take three months!" I'll count it for you. ”

The emperor couldn't help laughing, after the crown princess became pregnant, she seemed to be more lively, but I was afraid that the child in her belly was also lively.

The emperor couldn't help but look forward to it.

Moreover, the crown princess didn't seem to be afraid of herself before she got married, and until now, she has never been as regular as her sons and daughters, and she often has amazing words and amazing works.

Zhou Baolu saw Wang Shantao retreating, beckoned everyone to withdraw from the East Palace, and then asked the emperor knowingly: "By the way, why did my father think of coming to the East Palace today?" It scared me. ”

Yes, that's the right thing! The emperor asked, "The prince said that you won a share of corn, and you actually had a harvest of nearly seven buckets?" ”

Hehe, Zhou Baolu nodded hurriedly, this corn is ripe just right, just in time to catch the emperor and come to the East Palace!

The author has something to say: the second watch is coming!
