Chapter 50: So Presumptuous
The breakfast of the prince's family is not as good as the folk, although the taste of people in the morning is light, Xiao Yixuan deliberately made a reduction in the previous period of time, but this meal also has as many as fourteen dishes, including pig, sheep, goose, chicken, fish and other meat dishes seven, three green vegetables, noodles, one rice, plus a bean soup, a tea, each dish is carefully prepared by the imperial dining room, not only the color and flavor are complete, but also use the best ingredients from all over the country, if it is placed in the people's house, I am afraid that only this breakfast, It is enough to cover the food and clothing of the family for a whole year.

This meal is not small, and there are many rules, the five side concubines, including Xiao Yanyun, who has a temperament, are all eating cautiously at this meal, obviously they have done a lot of homework before this, and they must pay attention to Xiao Yixuan's movements every time they eat, as long as Xiao Yixuan's movements stop, they will stop immediately, eating is as tense as a war, but it makes Xiao Yixuan very depressed, and finally he took the initiative to point out the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting around, and said: "In a few days, foreign envoys will come one after another, I was ordered by my father to receive the Mongolian mission, but I had to be busy for a long time, and when the time comes, I will rely on a few of you to worry about this East Palace. ”
As soon as the words fell, An Mulan, who was sitting on Xiao Yixuan's left hand side, took the lead in speaking: "Your Highness, don't worry, with our five sisters here, I expect that even if the sky falls outside, nothing will go wrong in the East Palace." ”
"That'll be fine."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan smiled lightly, and then said: "By the way, when the Mongolian mission arrives, it will definitely bring a lot of tribute, most of which are only available on the grassland, do you have any items you want, and then ask me to quietly come back for you?" ”
When the words fell, I saw that all the women were moving in unison, as if they were a lot nervous in an instant, among them, Xiao Yanyi glanced at the outside of the hall very vigilantly, turned around and said: "Your Highness, as usual, the tributes of foreign envoys have always been handed over to the treasury, and the food and clothing of our sisters and sisters are very sufficient, Your Highness should not take any more from them!" ”
Xiao Yanyi's voice was very low when she spoke, and the reason for this was that Xiao Yixuan also understood that the current emperor Xiao Tianjing hated the corruption of ministers the most, and its severity was comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang in his previous life. When receiving the envoys, he quietly embezzled the tribute, and was stripped of his official position by the emperor, and was demoted from a first-class official to an ordinary person.
The two old ministers who have been assisting the government since the beginning of the independent dynasty ended up in defeat and death just because they were greedy for some tribute, which has to be vigilant, so it is no wonder that Xiao Yanyi will remind her.
It's just that Xiao Yixuan has a different opinion on what Xiao Yanyi said, as the crown prince, he naturally knows a lot of unknown inside information--- his cheap father hates corruption, but it has not reached such a level of madness, and in the past ten years, he has been obsessed with cultivating immortals, and most of the big and small things in the court are handed over to his ministers to do, so how can he focus on these?
I think the reason why those two Shangshu fell to death was because the two of them had rebellious intentions, and privately colluded with foreign envoys in a vain attempt to rebel! It is not so much that those stolen goods were obtained by the two people's greed for ink, but that it is more appropriate to say that they were deliberately given to them, and the stolen goods are not a few as rumored, but in fact they are a shocking wealth.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yixuan smiled and said: "It's okay, others can't, but I can, you can rest assured, I will report to my father what I get from it, in fact, before this, I have already informed my father about this matter, what do you want, although it is." ”
Xiao Yixuan said it really, but this kind of thing, he naturally couldn't inform the emperor in advance, but he knew in his heart that in the past few years, the money and treasures embezzled by his brothers through various channels could be piled up all the way from Taihe Gate to Zhonghe Palace, so the emperor didn't even find it once, and he still used an honest fart?
After these words fell, the faces of the five side concubines were a little lighter, and with it, there was also a trace of expectation and excitement, for them who must live in the deep palace for a long time, some novelty gadgets can always bring great fun--- although Xiao Yixuan once said that there are no rules in the East Palace, and they can even go out of the palace to play at will, but at present, they still don't have this idea and guts.
After a while, Xiao Yanyun was the first to open her mouth and said, "Your Highness, since it is a Mongolian mission, there must be a horse, right?" The concubine wants a horse to come over! ”
Xiao Yixuan replied with a smile: "Well, I wrote it down, and at that time, I will ask someone to clean up the courtyard next to the apse and build a racecourse, you and Mu Lan are both good riders, don't work hard because you have lived in the deep palace for a long time." ”
"Your Highness, concubine... The concubine wanted some embroidery. ”
"The concubine will need a few strings of agate."
Immediately afterwards, I saw Lu Xiahan and An Mulan speak out one after another, and in the end, only Xiao Yanyi and Yin Wushuang did not propose what they wanted, the former because they wanted nothing else, but the latter because they knew that their identity was special, and the silence was just for fear of causing Xiao Yixuan to be unhappy.
For Yin Wushuang, Xiao Yixuan didn't say much, at this time, there were many people, even if he persuaded him, the other party might not be able to let go of his defense.
When everyone wrote down all the things they asked for, and the breakfast was almost finished, and when they were about to disperse, Xiao Yixuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Xiao Yanyun: "By the way, Yanyun, I remember that when you and I first met on Tingfeng Pavilion, you had a quarrel with a 'Mrs. Qiao', is that Mrs. Qiao, the big proprietor of Jucai Commercial Bank, Qiao Shiyin?" ”
As soon as she heard Xiao Yixuan mention the past, Xiao Yanyun's first thought was her disrespect for the other party and the embarrassment of landing on the ground, so she blushed at the moment, and then pouted with hatred, and then replied: "Qiao Shiyin? Is Your Highness mistaken? Mrs. Qiao, who quarreled with me that day, is obviously Qiao Shiya, right? And she's not the owner of a business house.,But she's the wife of Lord Shangshulin.。。。 ”
"Lin Shiran's wife?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that one of these two people is called Qiao Shiyin, and the other is called Qiao Shiya, and they have both appeared on the Tingfeng Pavilion, if the two have nothing to do with each other, then they really don't believe it, and immediately said in confusion: "Isn't that Lin Yuanshan's mother?" Why did you quarrel that day? ”
"Your Highness also knows Lin Yuanshan? Qiao Shiya is only in her early thirties this year, and she is the continuation of Lord Lin, although I heard that she also gave birth to a son for Lord Lin, but she is not Lin Yuanshan's mother... How old is Lin Yuanshan this year~~"
When the words fell, I saw Xiao Yanyun pouting for a while, and then replied: "Why do I quarrel with Mrs. Naqiao, or is it because of my sister... ”
As he spoke, he saw Xiao Yanyi blushing and pushing her sister, who smiled and dodged away, and grinned at Xiao Yixuan: "Call my sister for the rest!" ”
"Yan Yi, you say."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan asked Xiao Yanyi about it, but saw that the latter's pretty face became more and more red, and she squirmed for a long time before she said softly: "Back to Your Highness, in fact, before the concubine entered the palace, that Mrs. Qiao deliberately asked her father to give the concubine to her... Promised to Lin Tianming as his wife, but his father did not approve of this matter because of various concerns, that is, between his father's considerations, my sister asked Mrs. Naqiao to meet in Tingfeng Pavilion, hoping that the other party could dispel this idea, but I didn't expect the other party not only not to allow it, but also to say too much, Yan Yun was hot, and she was angry for a while, so she quarreled with her on the spot... ”
After that, Xiao Yanyi also cautiously and secretly glanced at Xiao Yixuan, like a child who had done something wrong, as soon as the latter heard it, he understood in his heart, and said that it was dangerous, fortunately, he helped Liu Zhaozhao's black fat man in the Wind Pavilion that day, otherwise he would have to help his rival in love? If it gets out, it's really a joke.
Talking in his heart, Xiao Yixuan snorted, and then comforted the women with a few words, and when everyone finished eating, they were ready to get up and leave the table--- except for the lakeside gathering on the first day, the five side concubines have been cleaning up their yards for the past two days, and it is not until today that they are completely busy, and it is time to take them around the palace to adapt to the environment, by the way, they have to take them to the emperor and queen to say goodbye, this is a top priority, and they can't be sloppy.
Just like this, Xiao Yixuan led the girls to walk out of the door, who knew that when he just opened the door of the palace, before he could step out, a shadow hit him fiercely, don't look at the figure is very slender, but the force of this collision is not small, if it weren't for a few side concubines hurriedly supporting him behind, he would definitely fall on his stomach.
"Bold! Who would dare to be so presumptuous! ”
The next moment, I saw Lu Xiahan, who had a cold temperament, was the first to scold, and in addition to her, the other four side concubines also glared at the person with ugly faces, but it was Mu Jingjing standing there with a pair of panda eyes, with a very strange expression on her face, and she was a little overwhelmed and froze in place...
