Chapter 14: The Queen Has a Heart
Outside the Penglai Palace, Wang De listened to the movement in the room and stopped, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after a while, he listened to Xiong Yan's call and entered in response. I saw Xiong Yan sitting at the table in disheveled clothes, feeling helpless, and couldn't understand why the once innocent little highness had become what he was now.
Wang De saw that Xiong Yan wanted to drink tea, stepped forward to stop him, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, the palace people dare not enter without your permission, this tea has not been changed, it is cold, for the sake of the dragon body, you wait." He took a coat embroidered with a golden dragon and put it on Xiong Yan, and said, "Your Majesty, the Penglai Hall is cool, and those who come out and go in should pay attention." ”
Xiong Yan yawned and said, "Hurry up and let them change a pot, I am very thirsty." As he spoke, he yawned again, looking out of spirits.
Wang De shook his head secretly, took the teapot from Xiong Yan's hand, handed it to the palace people on the side, beckoned, waited outside the door for a long time, and the little eunuch who held the wooden plate called in, put the four cups of soup on it in front of Xiong Yan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the soup specially ordered by the queen mother, you eat some to cushion your stomach first, there is still some time before lunch." As he spoke, he opened the lid of the soup cup, presented the golden spoon, and continued: "The queen has a heart, and even the concubine, concubine, and Ziyan girl have prepared." ”
Xiong Yan was slightly stunned, reacted for a while, rubbed his eyes, stared at the soup cup, and asked, "Wang De, you say, who ordered this?" Empress? "Surprised and fresh. Before this, Wang Ruiyao had never done anything to ask for warmth.
Wang De had the heart to say good things for the queen, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's the queen's mother." Your Majesty, as the queen mother is in the middle palace, there are many rules to abide by, and everything cannot follow Your Majesty's wishes, but the mother is worried about Your Majesty in her heart, no, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be hungry, so I have already ordered the soup to wait outside. ”
Xiong Yan was ridiculous all night, and he didn't get out of bed until now, his body was weak and weak, and his stomach was empty.
This soup was delivered just right, like a timely rain, which could relieve Xiong Yan's hunger.
Xiong Yan sniffed the taste of the soup, the aroma entered his nose, he suddenly felt comfortable, squinted his eyes and said, "Well, the queen has a heart." After taking a few sips, he said with a smile: "Wang De, the queen is hard, I remember a few days ago there was a pair of step shakers, the style is good, go back and send it to the queen." "Let the palace maid send the remaining three cups into the inner room.
Wang De said respectfully: "The slave thanked His Majesty for the reward for the mother." Then he whispered: "Your Majesty, you see, Miss Ziyan can't go back to serve the queen as a maid now, what position do you propose, so that the girl can be justified." ”
Xiong Yan thought about it, frowned slightly, and said, "Well, this." After pondering for a long time, I only felt that my brain was dizzy, scratched my chin, shook my head and said: "Ziyan was originally the queen's person, I directly grabbed it and caused trouble to the queen, I don't care, you let the queen arrange it." The queen has the final say in the affairs of the harem. ”
Xiong Yan was free of hunger and pain, he was in a good mood, and he was happy last night, so he couldn't remember his fear of Wang Ruiyao for the time being, and his attitude changed a lot.
In fact, Xiong Yan just said it casually, however, as an emperor, how can his words and deeds be arbitrary? In the palace, countless ears pricked up to listen to his words. The words "The queen has the final say in the affairs of the harem" will inevitably make waves in the harem.
Wang De was taken aback: "Good guy, this soup is amazing, and it can make the queen mother turn over in one go." His face did not move, and he said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave went back and told Niangniang." ”
Xiong Yan nodded. After a while, the tonic effect of the soup came into play, and Xiong Yan only felt that the warm current in his abdomen was bubbling, flowing little by little to his limbs, becoming more and more comfortable, and he couldn't help humming a small tune.
Wang De watched from the side and said in his heart: "It seems that the palace is about to change." However, this is also good, the queen is skillful, and she should show her phoenix might, and the atmosphere of the harem can also be correct, which will also be good for Your Majesty. ”
In his selfish heart, Wang De was very unaccustomed to Xiong Yan's absurd behavior of indulging in pleasure and ignoring the government, but he was just an old eunuch, although he was a fox and a tiger, and he had some power, but he couldn't do it against the emperor. Wang De only hopes that the queen can make a difference and assist the king to be good.
Xiong Yan's spirit recovered, his body moved, and he was about to go back to have some fun, when he suddenly thought of the early dynasty and asked, "Wang De, did those old guys in front of you come to make trouble?" ”
Wang Dedao: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers didn't come, only Lord Wang Kangrui went to the queen's place, and he went back after a short time, thinking that the queen persuaded him to go back." ”
Hearing the words "Wang Kangrui", Xiong Yan's heart jumped instinctively, and then he listened to the words "persuaded to go back", then put his mind at ease, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest.
Wang De persuaded: "Your Majesty, the ministers are also for the sake of the society and for the good of Your Majesty, even if you don't like them, you have to behave, at least once in five days, go up and walk once, so that the ministers can meet people, and they are so relieved." You say, isn't it? ”
Xiong Yan frowned and said, "So early, who can get up, I walked all the way to the dragon chair, and I haven't opened my eyes yet." Pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "But, Wang De, your method is good, go once in five days, well, well, you can try it in the future." ”
