Chapter 277: Pillow Wind
Zheng Guifei's eyes lit up when she heard this, who doesn't like to stay young forever, especially when she is in the palace, in order to fix her pet, she naturally wants to do her best, Guo Zhiyuan's gift can be said to be sent to her heart, and she was suddenly surprised: "Is it really so amazing?" Then Hongu must give it a try! ......" said and couldn't help but reach out and pick the tomatoes on the potted plant!
There are a lot of rules for eating in the palace, especially this kind of new gadget that no one has ever seen, Zheng Guifei is a daughter, how can she eat casually? So the eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Niangniang, no!" ……”
Concubine Zheng Guifei had already aroused her endless curiosity with tomatoes at this time, so she naturally would not give up, glared at the eunuch unhappily, and scolded coquettishly: "Stand down!" Could it be that Yu Niang will still harm this palace?! ……”
After speaking, Zheng Guifei picked a tomato and handed it to the palace maid on the side to clean, and when the palace maid sent the cleaned tomatoes, she couldn't wait to pick it up and take a small bite, and was immediately captured by the sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes, regardless of the image, she ate the whole tomatoes by dividing them by two, and sighed: "Very wonderful taste, but unfortunately there is no ...... after eating just a few fruits."
Shen Yuniang hurriedly answered: "Niangniang don't worry, my son-in-law has already learned the cultivation method of this thing, and when the planting is successful, he can pay tribute to Niangniang for a long time......
Zheng Guifei was overjoyed when she heard this, and said happily: "Your son-in-law is really talented, he knows so much, and what is even more rare is that he knows how to repay his kindness, and it is not in vain that the palace helps him speak in front of the saint......" Speaking of this, Zheng Guifei suddenly rolled her eyes, glanced at Shen Yuniang, and said with a smile: "Your son-in-law must have a plan for such trouble, right?" Say, what do you need help from this palace? ……”
Shen Yuniang hurriedly saluted and said: "I really can't hide anything from my mother, my son-in-law does have something to ask for, my son-in-law has a major matter that must be reported to the saint, and I ask my mother to mediate from it......"
Zheng Guifei frowned when she heard this, if Guo Zhiyuan just asked her to help deliver a message to Emperor Wanli like last time, she didn't mind helping Guo Zhiyuan with this favor, but asking to meet Wanli was a bit beyond her bottom line, you must know that Emperor Wanli has not been in court for more than 20 years, and it is not easy for ordinary ministers above the third rank to meet him, that is, Shen Zheng and Shen Li, these cabinet ministers, can have such an honor.
Thinking of this, Concubine Zheng refused politely: "Yu Niang, it's not that this palace refuses to help your son-in-law, this matter really makes this palace a little embarrassed, the saint has always disliked the harem to interfere in politics, and it is already arrogant to help your son-in-law speak in front of the saint before, if you want to face the saint, you are only afraid of ......"
Shen Yuniang heard that she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Niangniang, my son-in-law does have a last resort reason to meet the saint, Niangniang doesn't know, my son-in-law in order to live up to the grace of the saint and Niangniang, before he was willing to take the risk to send an envoy to Luzon, to the saint and Niangniang Hongfu, finally did not disgrace the mission, but because of this, the official jealousy, repeatedly excluded, before he was appointed to the Zhangzhou Mansion is really a clear promotion and secret depreciation, this time my son-in-law suddenly encountered a rebellion on the way to office, and the rebels occupied eight county towns in Zhangzhou Prefecture, but the governor Yamen did nothing, and tried to cover up the matter, my son-in-law disregarded his own safety, broke into the tiger's den alone, used a plan to break the rebels, and chased the rest of the rebels to Dongfan for the total annihilation...... If I can't tell the Holy Lord, I am afraid that not only will the great work of counterinsurgency be wiped out, but also worry about his life, and ask my mother to try to fulfill the ......."
Guo Zhiyuan was promoted by Zheng Guifei to Emperor Wanli, Guo Zhiyuan made a great contribution, her face naturally shined, and she could also leave a good impression of Wanli as a virtuous helper, these officials in Fujian squeezed out Guo Zhiyuan is tantamount to slapping Zheng Guifei in the face, so Zheng Guifei was immediately angry when she heard it, and snorted coldly: "These Wenchen are incompetent, and they are good at squeezing out virtuous people!" This government is bad in the hands of these civil servants! The harem can't interfere in politics, but for the sake of the saint, this is the responsibility of the palace! But after all, this matter has to be nodded by the saint himself, and it is not certain whether it will be successful or not, so you can go back and wait for news......"
Shen Yuniang kowtowed and thanked her and left, Zheng Guifei began to think about how to make Emperor Wanli agree to see Guo Zhiyuan, she can always be favored by Emperor Wanli, and her holy family is immortal, naturally she has already figured out Wanli's temperament clearly, knowing that if she mentions it directly to Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli will probably not agree, and even with her own dislike will be a little disliked, blowing the pillow wind is also a skill.
Soon Zheng Guifei thought of an idea, Emperor Wanli also likes novelties, so she put the pot of tomatoes sent by Guo Zhiyuan in the most conspicuous position, and then found a pen and paper to start painting, Zheng Guifei was able to make Emperor Wanli so favored, relying not only on beauty, her talent is also very outstanding, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and soon a lifelike tomato potted plant was drawn, and the word "ruby fruit tree map" was mentioned on it.
As soon as the ink dried, Zheng Guifei rolled up the scroll and handed it to the eunuch next to him to send it to Emperor Wanli, and asked Emperor Wanli to taste it, which is also a little fun between their husband and wife, Zheng Guifei often sends the painted paintings to Emperor Wanli to taste, and Emperor Wanli knows that Zheng Guifei misses him, which is a bit like a hint of "washing clothes tonight" between modern couples, and the emperor is also a person, so Emperor Wanli is very happy about this "little game" between him and Zheng Guifei.
Sure enough, Emperor Wanli came soon after seeing the painting painted by Zheng Guifei, and before he saw the door, he said haha: "Aifei, the painting you made today is good, but it is a little too whimsical, how can there be rubies growing on trees?" If there really is such a sacred tree, I don't have to worry about the emptiness of the treasury! ……”
As soon as he entered the door, Emperor Wanli was attracted by the potted tomatoes on the table, circled around the table several times, looked at it carefully for a long time, and reached out to pinch the tomato fruit on it, and said in surprise: "There is really such a strange thing, but unfortunately the fruit on it is not a real ruby......
Concubine Zheng Guifei rolled her eyes at Emperor Wanli, and said with a coquettish smile: "The saint is the son of today, rich all over the world, how can he get into the eyes of money, and won't it make people laugh when it is passed out?" ……”
Emperor Wanli shook his head and sighed and said: "I am not good at this day, today's excerpts in the household department, the treasury is empty, and the deficit has reached millions of taels of silver, and I want to embezzle the internal money (internal money: refers to the emperor's private money) to fill the shortfall, it is really unreasonable!" ……”
