Text Chapter 12 Hongzhi rubs rice
"Yan'er, although you are a lot calmer, you don't have to be like this in front of your mother and me." Zhang Jinshi suddenly said that she was still more suitable for Zhang Yanling, who was a little naughty and mischievous.
"This ......" Zhang Yanling saw sweat on his forehead, and if he said too much, he would lose it, and he didn't know how to explain it!
"Trillium must still be sad about his father's death, but he didn't expect that Trillium, who was often taught by his father, had such sincere feelings for his father." Empress Zhang said with some sadness, and at the same time looked at Yanling's eyes full of appreciation.
Zhang Yanling lowered his head very cooperatively, at least in the eyes of Zhang Jin and Queen Zhang, he said what Zhang Yanling was thinking.
"Yan'er has a heart." Zhang Jinshi sighed with emotion, and looked at Zhang Yanling's gaze even more lovingly.
The gaze of the two made Zhang Yanling very uncomfortable, sad or something that didn't exist at all! After all, that father was no different from a stranger to him! Although he was a little sorry for taking his son's body, he really couldn't do it if he treated an unknown person as his own father.
"I don't know where my imperial nephew is now? I haven't seen it for a long time, I'll take a look, and then it's time to go back, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to make a decision in the Jianchangbo Mansion. Zhang Yanling suddenly said that he just wanted to get out of here quickly, and sure enough, it was better to avoid people he knew as much as possible.
"Zhao'er is in the back, it's okay for you to go and see, but you don't have to leave now, it's noon soon, stay and eat together." Empress Zhang said very casually.
"This ...... All right. Zhang Yanling opened his mouth and still didn't refuse, after all, it was just a lunch between relatives, and it would be very abnormal if he refused.
To be honest, there is really nothing good-looking about children, even Zhu Houzhao, who is a prince, did not let Zhang Yanling see any difference.
It's boring, Zhang Yanling has to look at something else, such as the beautiful palace maid on the side, but it's a pity that the clothes in this era are relatively loose and conservative, which makes Chang Yanling very regretful.
And after admiring it for a while, someone came to the front yard to invite Zhang Yanling to eat, and when he got to the ground, he saw that there was a big table full of at least twenty or thirty dishes, and the dishes were exquisite, so that Zhang Yanling could see it with a mouthful of mouth.
Of course, the taste naturally did not disappoint Zhang Yanling, after all, this is the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of some cherished seasonings from the Western Regions and overseas.
However, when Zhang Yanling was eating happily, an uninvited guest broke in, well, it may be a little inappropriate to use an uninvited guest, after all, the person who came here is the real owner here, yes, the person who came in was Zhang Yanling's cheap brother-in-law, Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty." Empress Zhang slowly got up and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Zhang Yanling on the side naturally quickly stood up, and at the same time hesitated whether to salute.
"No need to salute, I'm uninvited, sit down and eat." Emperor Hongzhi said very casually, and then sat on the chair brought by the eunuch who was waiting on the side, picked up a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and looked like he was about to eat, and looking at the skilled appearance of the eunuchs and palace maids who moved the seats and added dishes and chopsticks next to him, he knew that Emperor Hongzhi did not come to eat.
"Since Your Majesty said so, then Trillium should also sit down quickly." Empress Zhang nodded and said to Zhang Yanling.
"Yes." Zhang Yanling responded, and then sat down a little restrainedly, no way, after all, what he was in front of him was an emperor, even if he said that he didn't mind, but when he really faced it, he was still a little restrained.
"Sure enough, the food here is delicious, and the food cooked in Guanglu Temple is really a little difficult to eat." After Emperor Hongzhi took a bite of the meal, he complained a little depressedly.
"The concubine is a cook who is not used to eating the food of Guanglu Temple, so she brought it from outside." Empress Zhang had a slight smile on her face, obviously feeling that her decision was very wise.
Zhang Yanling, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was very curious, although he didn't know what Guanglu Temple was doing before, but looking at it like this, Guanglu Temple should be a place like the imperial dining room.
And what made Zhang Yanling curious was how awesome Guanglu Temple was that he dared to give the emperor unpalatable food, which was simply incredible.
"Sister, is the food in Guanglu Temple really hard to eat?" Zhang Yanling looked at Empress Zhang and asked in a low voice, Zhang Yanling's approach was obviously a little impolite, but Empress Zhang didn't mind.
Of course, although Zhang Yanling lowered his voice, Emperor Hongzhi on the side also heard it.
“…… The food in Guanglu Temple is not as difficult to eat, it can only be said that it is okay, but almost all the meals are the same taste, and I have been eating it for more than 20 years, so I have naturally been tired of it. Emperor Hongzhi took the initiative to say after a slight groan.
"Hmph, those people in Guanglu Temple just want to be innocent, and naturally they won't make changes, which makes people very disgusted." Empress Zhang said with disgust on her face, you must know that she has also been forced to eat the food of Guanglu Temple for several years.
"What the hell is this Guanglu Temple for?" Zhang Yanling was even more curious.
"Guanglu Temple is in charge of the court's sacrifices, feasts and meals in the palace, and the ministers' food after the court meeting is also provided by Guanglu Temple." Empress Zhang explained very simply.
Although what Empress Zhang said was a little simple, Zhang Yanling understood the awesomeness of Guanglu Temple.
To put it simply, he is in charge of all matters related to food in the palace, from the emperor to the eunuchs and palace maids, as well as the tributes of major festivals, all of which are inseparable from Guanglu Temple, so Guanglu Temple is so awesome.
After learning about Guanglu Temple, Zhang Yanling felt a little unhappy.
Zhang Yanling doesn't know much, but one thing he is very sure of is that the profits of food, clothing, housing and transportation, not to mention other aspects, just talk about 'food', and as the Guanglu Temple in charge of the court's sacrifices, feasts and meals in the palace, it is definitely a fat and oily institution.
After all, if you are in charge of the food problem of tens of thousands of people, as long as you lower the original price a little bit, and then raise it a little more when you report, it will be a lot of 'gain'.
As for not cheating, 'hehe' Zhang Yanling absolutely doesn't believe it, after all, this kind of thing is simple to operate and has little risk, and he can't bear it if he is Zhang Yanling!
What's more, Zhang Yanling had heard that a certain emperor in the Qing Dynasty would cost thirty taels of silver to eat an egg, and now although it is impossible to be so exaggerated, it is definitely not clean.
And as an already fat and oily organization, taking money far more than his salary, but doing things perfunctory at work, this kind of behavior makes Zhang Yanling very disgusted, because what he longed for was such a life (pure jealousy).
