Chapter 123: The Seal
Because considering that Tuoba Shen grew up in Jiangbei and was not accustomed to Jiangzuo's diet, in addition to several aquarium dishes such as fish and shellfish prepared for Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Lingyuan, there were also some beef and mutton and several vegetable soups specially prepared for Tuoba Shen. The cattle and sheep have made more than a dozen different dishes in different ways, even with sauces. The vegetable soup is a common chicken and green vegetable soup in the south and north of the Yangtze River. For Tuoba Shen and the Xiao family brothers and sisters, they are all home-cooked dishes, but because there are more than 20 kinds of dishes and sufficient amounts, they still look very hearty.
I heard Li Biao say that Xiao Zhen has admired Buddhism for several years and rarely eats meat, and Xiao Ziliang often promotes vegetarian food in Jiankang, and it is estimated that there is also this kind of atmosphere in this palace.
Tuoba Shen looked at the two tables full of various dishes in front of him, and didn't know how to cook for a while, not that he was a picky eater, but that he was too hearty and didn't know which ones to eat.
Although he is not a vegetarian, he eats more vegetarian than meat. Because for a rich idler like him who doesn't need to worry about food and clothing, and has nothing to do except study all day long, it is really easy to gain fat because he doesn't know how to eat and drink.
How did Tuoba's body grow up? The emperor is in moderate health, not fat, although Empress Lin has never seen Tuoba Shen during her lifetime, but it will definitely not be fat, Tuoba Shen is so small but fat, it is likely that it is the result of not knowing moderation in diet. He didn't want to be the size of Tuoba.
Forget it, it's better to eat some simple side dishes, and then order vegetable soup, and don't touch fish and meat.
Concubine Zhang Shufei and her daughter sat opposite each other, and when she saw that Tuoba Shen had only eaten some vegetarian dishes and drank some vegetable soup, she said strangely: "But it doesn't fit." There are very few people in Jiankang City who can cook Pingcheng cuisine, so the taste of my aunt's small chef is inevitably a little different. Erlang still reluctantly used some first, and Aunt asked Yun Chang to find a few Hebei kitchens for you in the afternoon. ”
Tuoba Shen saw that Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Lingyuan had stopped and looked at him, probably thinking that he was a picky eater?
"No, the meals prepared by my aunt and grandmother can be described as exquisite, but since my niece left Beijing, he has eaten less meat, and his aunt and grandmother only use clear porridge, and my aunt only has a few dishes. Tuoba Shen hurriedly put down the jade chopsticks and said, "If you ask your aunt and grandmother to give you clear porridge, it will be enough!" The niece still has to quit the car and return to the museum in the afternoon, which is inconvenient to use. ”
Concubine Zhang Shufei looked up at the window, saw that it was past noon, and sighed: "I don't expect the sky to be short." "There was a look of regret on his face. got up and took the wooden bowl from the handmaiden's handmaiden, and personally served Tuoba Shen with clear porridge.
。。。。。。
After lunch, Tuoba Shen stayed in Ningshou Palace for another two moments, and estimated that the banquet in the Qianguang Palace should come to an end, so he got up and said goodbye.
Concubine Zhang Shufei sent Tuoba Shen outside the palace gate and said, "If Erlang has any inconvenience in Jiankang, you can go to the Yunchang Palace." As long as there is nothing against the imperial system, Yun Chang will be able to help you. ”
"Yes, my aunt's grandmother's words, my niece remembered" Tuoba Shen saluted: "It's hot outside, aunt and grandmother, please go back to the temple first!" ”
Concubine Zhang Shufei nodded, and said to her daughter beside her: "Sanniang'er and send Erlang on behalf of my mother." ”
After resigning from Concubine Zhang Shu, and walking on the way out of the back bed with Xiao Ziqing's brothers and sisters, Tuoba Shen looked at the unfamiliar palace corridor and palace, and remembered that this picturesque palace was about to change its owner three years later, and most of Xiao Ziqing's descendants of Xiao Daocheng were executed by Xiao Luan in the past few years. At that time, I don't know what will happen to Concubine Zhang and Xiao Lingyuan, although their lives are unlikely to be in danger, but their circumstances in the second half of their lives will definitely suffer great changes. Even if Xiao Bodhisattva ascends to the throne later, it will not do them much good.
"In the past, Zhongzhou was in turmoil, and the Sima family lived in the southern soil. The imperial residence of the 100 years before and after was so majestic, but it was taken by Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty in less than 30 years. It can be seen that the world is so changeable that the wise cannot look back. ”
Xiao Ziqing listened to Tuoba Shen's sigh, and didn't know why, and said, "Why does Your Highness sigh like this?" ”
"Nothing."
Tuoba Shen shook his head and didn't say anything more, the words he just said were also inspired by the future of Nanqi.
When he arrived at the front and rear bedroom gates, Tuoba Shen was about to say goodbye to Princess Yongjia, but saw Princess Yongjia take out a scarf from her long sleeves and hand it over, which was the one he had handed to her before.
"Your Highness, don't forget this scarf"
"Thank you!" Tuoba Shen stretched out his hand to take it and saluted: "Her Royal Highness the princess, please go back to the palace first!" ”
This scarf was just used by him to wrap the jade pendant, and it was not a valuable object, so he didn't care, he didn't expect Xiao Lingyuan to bring it out and return it to him.
Princess Yongjia bowed slightly, and said to Xiao Ziqing and Tuoba Shen: "Brother, Your Highness is slow, Yongjia will leave first." ”
。。。。。。
After Tuoba Shen went out of the back bed of Jiankang Palace, he and Xiao Ziqing went to the Qianguang Palace to see Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Zhen invited him, Li Biao, and Jiang Shaoyou to go to Hualin Garden together. It wasn't until Shen Shi came out of Jiankang Palace.
When I returned to Gyeonguikan, it was already the end of the Shen period.
"Are Yu Qing, Liu Qing, and Zheng Qing all back?" Tuoba Shen got out of the car and asked.
"Zheng Jun had already returned to the museum before noon. At Liu Huangmen, the lower officials had already sent someone to go, saying that they would not come back until the market strike. ”
"Hmm!" Tuoba Shen nodded and said, "If there is anything that is not easy to sell, you can go to the Southern Dynasty Taifu to ask to see if they have what they need, and if they can sell it to the Taifu, it will be less troublesome." ”
After Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou got out of the car, they took the talismans, quickly followed Tuoba Shen, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I don't know ...... Lord Qi today."
"You don't have to ask again, Isola will tell you." Tuoba Shen interrupted Li Biao's words and said.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the museum, he saw Lu Guang walking quickly, followed by two slaves, who looked very raw, thinking that they were newly bought today.
"Your Highness!"
"Zheng Qing can be in the museum?"
"Zheng Langguan came back before noon and is waiting for His Highness in the hall."
Entering the main hall, he saw Zheng Daozhao playing Go with him, looking at the chess board full of most of the chess pieces, it can be seen that he has spent a lot of time here, and may have been waiting here for them to come back in the afternoon.
"Your Highness!" Zheng Daozhao heard the sound of footsteps, walked out of the chessboard endgame, got up and greeted.
"Zheng Qing, it just so happens that you are also here, and I am about to inform you about one thing."
After waiting for Li Biao, Jiang Shaoyou, and Yu Zhong to enter the hall and sit down, Tuoba Shen instructed Lu Guangdao: "Lu Qing went to guard outside the hall, don't let outsiders approach."
"Today, I am alone in the Jiankang Palace, and I have a maternal relative."
briefly talked about Zhang Shufei, mainly about the relationship between her mother Zhang Concubine and Zhang Shufei.
Li Biao listened to Tuoba Shen's words, was silent for a while, and said: "Your Highness, this matter is really abrupt, although it is a good thing for His Highness's foreign clans, but I am afraid that Lord Qi's move may not be completely good. ”
"Your Royal Highness, although Concubine Zhang Shu is His Royal Highness's maternal relative, she is just her name, so there is something inconvenient about it. If this matter is reported back to Pingcheng, I am afraid that people with a heart will use it to slander His Highness. Zheng Daozhao continued
Tuoba Shen was silent, and Xiao Zhen invited him to Ningshou Hall before noon, although it was not in line with the monarch's body, but it would not be wrong to be detailed with Concubine Zhang Shu. Zhang Shufei is indeed a junior who treats him, and this situation cannot be faked. Whether it's all good intentions, Tuoba Shen doesn't know, but if he says that there is a picture, he can't see it!
"What do you think, what are the intentions of Lord Qi?"
"This ......" Li Biao twisted his beard and said: "The lower officials think that this move of the Lord Qi is nothing more than the relationship between His Majesty and His Royal Highness's father and son. Although Concubine Zhang Shu is a foreign relative, she is not accepted by His Majesty, and she is only afraid that Your Majesty may be displeased. ”
Li Biao didn't want to say these vain words about the emperor, but he was now cautious, and today's loss was also due to his lack of response, so he had to say a few more words.
"Qing is too worried, lonely for His Majesty's son, growing up in the palace, living in a place where there is no doubt, how can the Lord of Qi be in between!"
"The meaning of the Lord Qi cannot be investigated. His Royal Highness's top priority can be sealed by hand, and it can be enshrined in His Majesty. Although this matter is not big, there are hidden dangers. If His Royal Highness writes to clarify his doubts, there will be no obstacles. Please also ask Your Highness to make sure of it. Zheng Daozhao said.
Tuoba Shen is his Zheng family's son-in-law, and his safety is related to his Zheng family, Zheng Daozhao is naturally much more anxious than Li Biao.
Li Biao and Zheng Daozhao's words are not unreasonable. Although this is not a big deal, it is indeed a safe way to report it. No matter what Xiao Zhen thinks about this matter, this way of retreat must be done well.
"Wonderful! Lone immediately handwritten to seal the matter, Yu Qing, you can choose three or five people, go to Xuzhou with the lonely seal, and present it to Rencheng Uncle Zu. Tuoba Shen got up and walked out of the main hall and went to bed.
The sealing of the matter to the king of Rencheng is to use his power to pass on the city of Pingcheng. One can show that everything can be said to others, and the other can be delivered to the palace as soon as possible. King Rencheng is the important king of the clan, not comparable to him as a prince. Using his channels is naturally faster and more appropriate.
