Chapter Eighty-Six: Entering the Palace to Receive the Reward (Part II)
(Today's editor gave another recommendation, and will add more)
For a while, Yao Huan only felt that the room full of people, old women and small women, real men and fake men, all looked at him.
She didn't dare to raise her head anymore, and silently thought in her heart, Qian Zhongshu and his old man had already said, if you think the book is good, why do you know the author of the book, just like you think the egg is delicious, do you have to catch the hen to take a look?
Wow to the Queen Mother, you think I'm a good person, and the chicken feet I make are delicious, in fact, it's best to let the little eunuch go to the door of Donghua to reward me with a few dollars.
We have watched a lot of modern palace fighting dramas, and as soon as we arrived in this palace, regardless of which dynasty or generation, we felt that we had arrived at the land of right and wrong, and we panicked.
In the atmosphere where the needles could be heard, it was Zhao Ji, the king of Suining County, who opened his mouth first.
"Mrs. Yao, the food in your family today is three points better than the ones served out when you made the noodles in the West Garden. When I go back and open the mansion, I will definitely invite your aunt and you to teach the cooks in my mansion. ”
Yao Huan turned from cramped to admiring.
Zhao Ji, not only will you be great at painting, making tea and playing with stones in the future, but you are already so good at chatting at this age.
How did Gao Yu save so much face with you, you helped very thoroughly.
Listening to the old lady Chen smiled again: "The county king's appetite has been good since he was a child. The old man has accumulated a lot of achievements in his life, and he has also brought a few children to the palace in this life, and it is best to bring the king of the county, whether it is to eat milk, or to eat meat and porridge, that small body, and the ground will grow strong. ”
This Mrs. Chen is really a veteran royal employee, and she can recall the situation when Zhao Ji was in her diaper in front of the Empress Dowager, and she can hear that the Empress Dowager laughs even more, and Zhao Ji does not blush and embarrassment.
However, there was one person in the banquet who would not buy her account, but she couldn't help but continue to praise Zhao Ji for her good health.
That person is Concubine Zhu.
Concubine Zhu sneered coldly in her heart, and said secretly: No matter how good the skin is, if you pretend to be a floating and light character, it is not a shame for the heavenly family.
She then opened her mouth and diverted Mrs. Chen's topic: "Queen Mother, this little Yao lady is kind-hearted and looks good, how can I look at it, she looks a little like Liu Jieyu." ”
Xiang Empress Dowager turned her head sideways and said with a smile: "You still have good eyesight and mental strength, just now this child came in, I feel familiar." Sure enough, there was some shadow of Liu Jieyu between her eyebrows and eyes. But ......"
She pursed her lips and looked at Yao Huan again, and added after a while: "However, if you look closely, her graceful and demure posture is not more like Queen Meng?" ”
Zhao Jizheng raised his glass and took a sip, and suddenly heard Xiang Xiang's words to the Queen Mother, and quickly glanced at Concubine Zhu, and sure enough, he saw that the concubine's face was slightly sluggish.
Zhao Ji hurriedly slapped his face, pretending to be strange: "Coincidentally, coincidentally, the Queen Mother, that day the imperial brother announced that I and the thirteenth brother went to the Hanlin Academy to see the painting, and the imperial sister-in-law was also there. ”
Empress Dowager Xiang replied with satisfaction: "Yes, before the official family inherited the unification of the first emperor, he liked to draw, and he was good at baby play, and he still learned it from me." Previously, when the Empress Dowager selected the queen for the official family, she said that the Meng family can not only perform women's ceremonies, but also be so good at Danqing, the official family and her will definitely be able to play the piano and sing. ”
Yao Huan shrank in the official hat chair and listened with bated breath not far away, these Zhao family members exchanged words, only feeling the black line in their heads.
They all used elegant language and gentleness, but the implication was that they were all guns and sticks, but they were really not fuel-efficient lamps.
Especially Zhao Ji.
Yao Huan felt that the deceased monarch who brought a tragic end to the Great Song Dynasty decades later should perhaps be examined more three-dimensionally.
The Zhao and Song dynasties, from the second generation, the bloodline has been transferred to Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty. I don't know if Zhao Guangyi has any congenital genetic problems, his children and grandchildren, the ability to spread branches is actually not bad, but very few of his sons and daughters have survived. Such an alarming percentage of premature mortality in each generation is not due to palace intrigue.
But in Zhao Ji's generation, not only can he give birth, but most of them are healthy.
And no matter from the point of view of Zhao Ji's ability to deal with people and things, or from the quality of his sons, Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou, Zhao Ji's brain should also be very good.
Smart people are more likely to have weaknesses.
If a smart person is not cultivated enough, and the people who teach the heart attackers are brainwashed, they will not be able to listen to the advice of the contrary, and they will not want to see the cruel truth, because every word of advice, every truth, is a slap in the face, and it is a serious telling him: You are not as wise and martial as you imagined.
Yao Huan's anxiety when he walked into the Great Song Palace suddenly turned into a magical feeling.
These people in front of them, Empress Dowager Xiang, Concubine Zhu, Zhao Ji, Liang Shicheng, and of course, the people they mentioned, Zhao Xu, Empress Meng, Liu Jieyu...... She Yao Huan knows how they will end up in a few years and decades.
God's perspective doesn't bring fun.
Because when you think about it, it turns out that the tragedy from the individual to the family and the country comes from the greed and narcissism of human nature, the blindness of the rats, the joy of great achievements, the self-righteousness, the ignorance of danger in times of peace, and the credulity of false prosperity, you will feel that the more God perspective, the more you see the collapse of faith in the inherent goodness of human nature.
Therefore, for a female traverser, Yao Huan only accepts an experiential attitude at most, rather than a reconstructive impulse.
She is convinced that no matter how true the butterfly effect is, it is really no more than the limitations of human nature.
When Yao Huan sighed sadly, he only heard the Queen Mother Xiang start a conversation more and more, and said to everyone: "The county king's banquet this time is well organized. The dishes are so delicious, they are all ingredients such as pork loin, pork belly and chicken feet, which cost no money. After all, such a big family business, not to mention raising officials and soldiers, it is necessary to reclaim the fields, control the floods, expand the Taixue, open up the frontier and expand the frontier externally, and buy horses. When the official family comes to ask for peace tomorrow, the old man must talk to him about this matter. ”
Zhao Ji hurriedly patted back: "On weekdays, I often get the teachings of the Queen Mother and the imperial brother, and my son gradually understands day by day that open source and throttling cannot be wasted." If we don't make the best use of the grain, grains, livestock and poultry, won't we be disappointing God's grace? ”
Mrs. Chen clasped her palms together and praised: "Ahem, the words of the county king are worth recording in the history books." ”
Xiang Empress Dowager became more and more embarrassed, and beckoned to Yao Huan: "Child, come here." ”
Yao Huan got up suddenly, and walked around the food table to the Empress Dowager Xiang.
Xiang Empress Dowager said softly: "I've been thinking about it, what to reward you." Silk and satin, you are now a festival lady, and you are not allowed to wear it on occasions. In addition to this table of side dishes, I will reward you with ten dollars, which is more realistic. However, I still have to ask you for a favor, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you come to the palace to do a two-day business trip to teach the cook how to make this bone-splitting chicken feet. ”
Yao Huan was stunned.
I only heard Concubine Zhu say on the side: "You kid, don't thank you yet." Don't worry, if you do things for the palace, how can your salary be less. Well, the Queen Mother, turn around and let her go to Liu Jieyu's palace for a few days, okay? ”
