Chapter 12: Persuasion
Jing Zetian took the emperor to the bottom of a peach tree in Zhengyang Palace, this peach tree was planted by Jing Zetian when he was just able to speak, and he could eat his own peaches every summer, and now it is early spring, and the buds of this peach tree have begun to open.
Jing Kaige saw this peach tree and asked with a smile, "You planted this peach tree yourself?" ”
"Yes, father, except for the large-scale planting of flowers and plants allowed in the green garden, there is no other place in the palace, so when I was young, I asked my mother to plant a peach tree for me, so that I could grow with the peach tree." Jing Zetian said with a smile on his innocent little face that belonged to this age. According to the rules, in fact, people living in the palace are not allowed to plant trees for safety reasons, but Jing Zetian's mother and son have noble status, so no one usually says anything when they plant a tree.
"Well, that's a good idea, what did you bring me here?" Jing Kaige looked around, but he didn't find anything special, just hit a tree.
Jing Zetian heard his father's words, and knew that he didn't mind planting trees, and then looked at the chaise longue next to him with his eyes and said, "Father, you have ignored this chair next to you." ”
Hearing Jing Zetian's words, Jing Kaige noticed the recliner next to him that reached the height of his thighs, because the recliner looked ordinary, so he didn't care.
Jing Kaige asked suspiciously, "Is there anything peculiar about this chair?" ”
"Hehe, my father can't help but sit on it and try it." Jing Zetian said with a mysterious smile.
Hearing his son's words, Jing Kaige also sat on the recliner.
Due to the cold weather in early spring, the wooden deck chairs on the deck chairs are covered with thick animal fur, and it is very comfortable to lie on.
Jing Kaige just lay down on the recliner, "Hey, ouch" because Jing Kaige is not lightweight, and he has never sat on this kind of thing, a fierce trip, because the recliner was modified by Jing Zetian to be able to shake, so that Jing Kaige, who had just been lying hard, shook violently, making him cry out at a loss.
But Jing Kaige, who had eased up, gradually adapted to this recliner, and when he thought of his gaffe just now, he couldn't help blushing a little, and made a fool of himself in front of his son.
Jing Zetian looked at Jing Kaige calmly, as if he hadn't seen his father's gaffe, and said, "Father thinks it's good, isn't it very comfortable to lie down." ”
It took him a lot of work on this chaise longue. At first, Jing Zetian wanted to sit on a few chairs, but he was young and it was inconvenient to do things, so he thought about making a recliner directly, so that he and his mother could lie down if they had nothing to do, so he asked Duan You in the connotation paragraph, and many of Duan You were carpenters, and they all sent pictures and texts to reply to Jing Zetian, and finally let him make it. However, with the use of recliners, Jing Zetian still missed the rocking recliner in his previous life, so through the help of Duan You, he wasted a lot of effort to make this one, you must know that the chaise longue in the previous life was only created and used by humans in the eighteenth century.
"Well, don't talk about this thing, it's so comfortable to lie down, did you figure this out yourself?" Jing Kaige asked as he lay comfortably in his rocking chair.
"Yes, father, Erchen felt that our current tiger stool was really uncomfortable sitting for a long time, so he figured out this thing by himself, this kind of chair can not only sit comfortably, but also lower blood pressure and improve people's balance." Jing Zetian said professionally.
"Huh? BalanceI know, what is blood pressure? Jing Kaige asked suspiciously, he now deeply realized that he really didn't know his son too well.
"Uh... Blood pressure is the meaning of physical illness. Jing Zetian casually said a reason vaguely, he couldn't explain it clearly, and directly fooled the past, anyway, no one in this world knows.
"Well, it seems that you still have something to do with the fortifications, so let's do it, I will grant you this request." Jing Kaige said comfortably while lying on the chair.
"Huh? Thank you for your kindness. Jing Zetian also replied happily.
"Well, but you have to remember, you don't come forward to find the Ministry of Work in person, just let your people go, you are the prince of my Dahua, if you do these things openly, it will be bad for your reputation." Jing Kaige reminded with concern.
"Well, thank you for the reminder from my father, my son is awake." Jing Zetian bent down and thanked him.
"Okay, I'll say hello to the Ministry of Industry about this, but I have to criticize you well, you don't have my father in your eyes, and it's really unfilial to not let your father use such a good thing in the first place." Jing Kaige said with an unhappy face while lying on the chair.
"Uh... This, the son knows that he is wrong, and he will have good things for his father to enjoy as soon as possible in the future. Jing Zetian said embarrassedly. This is indeed his fault, firstly, although he is a prince, but he is young, the palace has advocated thrift over the years, Concubine Zhen does not have much money, Concubine Zhen does not like to use the power of her mother's family, and secondly, she is also 'unfamiliar' with her father, after all, the thoughts of the two worlds, although they accept him as their father, but they do not communicate much, and they are naturally ignored many times.
"Hey, you just need to know later, although I am the emperor of Dahua, I am also your father." Jing Kaige said affectionately, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Hehe, my father and the emperor have come to me in the next dynasty, I guess I haven't had lunch yet, so let's dine here in my Zhengyang Palace." Jing Zetian diverted the topic and said, among the royal family, there are too many people who can't help themselves.
"Well, it's okay, by the way, why haven't you seen your mother for so long?"
"Oh, the mother concubine went to chat with the other concubines, it's almost time for dinner, and she should be coming back." Jing Zetian explained that the women in the palace love to go to the house to relieve boredom when they have nothing to do.
"Well, let's wait for her." Jing Kaige was so happy that he even used the colloquialism.
"Okay, by the way, father, what do you like to eat, I'll let my subordinates do it." Jing Zetian said, in addition to festivals and banquets, the emperor, concubines, princesses, and princes of the entire palace have sat and eaten together, and he has not eaten alone with his father at other times, even if he sometimes looks for his mother and concubine, he has only eaten and dealt with the government before coming. As a hard-working emperor, Jing Kaige, like the founding emperor Jing Shiqi, usually has very few concubines, so it directly leads to the fact that there are not as many children as the emperor in his previous life.
"Oh? Aren't all the meals in the palace made by the Imperial Dining Room? According to the usual practice, the food in your harem today should be Hu Cake and Okra. (Okra, a dish in ancient times, is also available now, not common)" Jing Kaige asked, under normal circumstances, the food in the palace is arranged by the imperial dining room, except for the big banquet, there is not much food that can be eaten every day in this era, so it is easy to remember.
"Hey, this... Jing Zetian said embarrassedly. He found that he had forgotten his father when he was cooking.
"Hurry up, what are you twisting?" Jing Kaige scolded unhappily.
I am not used to the food in the palace, so I have a small stove in the palace hall, and I usually eat and cook by myself. Jing Zetian said shyly.
"Yo, you have the ability, you dare to say that the food in the palace is not delicious, today I want to taste the food of your Zhengyang Palace." Jing Kaige said jokingly.
A scene of father's kindness and filial piety, which is rare in the palace, Qiu Xiang, who was serving on the side, thought silently.
