Chapter 8: Hearing about the palace feast
The emperor personally helped Lin Lin sit down, "I shouldn't have asked you about this matter, after all, you are still young." ”
Lin Lin listened respectfully beside her.
"The ministers mentioned a person to me, I think you may know each other, so you can help me to see if this person is worthy of the position of Prince Rong and Princess Rong."
"I don't know which daughter the emperor is talking about."
The emperor beckoned and motioned to the palace maid behind him to add food to Lin Lin, "It's Zhang Qing, the granddaughter of Master Zhang, you should have seen it before." ”
Lin Lin's face changed subtly, and she thought that the emperor was talking about her. "The courtier has met Miss Zhang, but she has never spoken, so she doesn't know much about it."
"Yes, you have always had righteousness in your heart, so naturally these young ladies can't play together."
Lin Lin lowered her head and didn't answer.
"In a few days, it's time to hold a palace banquet, and when the time comes, call the young lady of the Zhang family over, and you and the queen will go to meet this person together. If you and the queen both say that this person is good, I will say it to Prince Rong again. The emperor took a bite to eat, "If it is someone who is praised by you and the queen, presumably he Qi Xuan will not be able to find anything wrong." ”
Lin Lin laughed awkwardly twice.
"It's time for me to talk to the queen about this, so that she can prepare early."
That night, the emperor came to the queen's palace.
There are only maids on duty in the palace, "What about the queen?" The Emperor asked.
The palace maid who was close to her saluted and replied, "Back to the emperor, the mother is in the palace of the good concubine." ”
Because of this sentence, the emperor remembered the words conveyed by the eunuch before, and heard that Xinhua had fainted, so he just went to take a look.
and set up the Funing Hall where the good concubine is located.
As soon as the emperor arrived at the gate of the palace, the accompanying eunuch announced, "The emperor has arrived." ”
In the palace, the queen is giving Da Miao vegetables, Concubine Liang is giving vegetables to the queen, and Da Miao is sighing at his wattage.
The three of them heard the message, but none of them moved.
The queen, who has been married to the emperor for many years, and the position of the main palace can be exempted from welcoming the false ceremony.
Liang Guifei, the emperor's favorite concubine, the power of the previous dynasty was stable, and there was nothing to do with her if she was not welcomed.
Da Miao, I don't know the process, I am stable on the surface, and I am panicked in my heart.
When the emperor entered the palace gate, he saw the three people sitting at the table eating dinner, and no one paid attention to him.
The scene was too embarrassing, the emperor coughed twice, the queen glanced at him, and the emperor could only find himself and say: "Empress, how can you eat in Funing Hall today." ”
"Xinhua is unwell today, so Rong'er and I naturally want to be by her side." The queen reluctantly asked, "Has the emperor had dinner?" ”
The emperor didn't eat, "I used a bowl of lotus seed soup earlier, I didn't feel hungry, and I didn't finish my meal." ”
Concubine Liang interjected, "The emperor should pay attention to the dragon body, and the three meals should be eaten on time." ”
The emperor waited for her to continue, so what? Why don't you let me eat it together? I'm watching from the sidelines.
I felt even more embarrassed than when I came in just now, and the emperor had nothing to say, "I heard that today's assessment, how did Xinhua do today?" ”
Da Miao couldn't hold back at all, could she pee?
"Is the emperor only concerned about these?" Concubine Liang said coldly, "Xinhua is unwell today, and the news that he fainted in the school, could it be that someone is hiding it from the emperor?" ”
The emperor glanced at the personal eunuch standing next to him, "Bastard!" Princess Xinhua fainted, why didn't you tell me! ”
is worthy of being a personal eunuch, and he cooperated very tacitly, and immediately knelt down, "The emperor forgives the sin, when the news came, it happened that the emperor and several Shangshu were discussing state affairs." ”
"You will take the punishment yourself." The Emperor went over and kicked him.
The queen and the emperor have been married for many years, and I don't know how many times I have seen such a trick.
"Xinhua, why did you faint in the school?" The emperor lowered his voice and asked, "Is the homework assigned by the bachelor too difficult?" ”
Da Miao looked at the emperor in front of her, her current appearance was completely different from what she saw yesterday, could it be that she was suppressed by the queen?
"Xinhua is not enough blood." The queen said.
"If the blood is insufficient, then it should be well regulated." The emperor said, "Have you seen it with the imperial doctor?" ”
"Naturally, I've seen it."
The palace maid of Funing Hall brought a chair to the emperor, but the emperor couldn't sit still, and he didn't know why the atmosphere here made him very uncomfortable, "Empress, it's not too early, it's time to go back to the palace to rest, right?" ”
Concubine Liang glanced at the emperor, and then fell on the queen.
The queen said, "Xinhua fainted today, and Concubine Liang was also frightened, and I will accompany their mother and daughter here tonight." ”
The emperor couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak, so he had to insist on saying, "This year's summer palace banquet has not yet been held, and I plan to take this opportunity to choose a suitable wife for Qi Xuan." ”
"Prince Rong is not young, and this matter should be done quickly." The queen said, "I will properly handle the palace banquet, and the emperor can rest assured." ”
Da Miao watched the whole process and couldn't interject at all, but from the conversation between the two, she thought of an important plot about the protagonist.
In the video, the relationship between the female protagonist and the male protagonist was officially established, that is, after a banquet, that banquet, Da Miao still remembers that it was the lotus banquet, could it be this banquet?
"A minister mentioned to me before, saying that Bachelor Zhang's granddaughter is virtuous and virtuous, and she is educated in the harem school, and she can be a candidate to become a princess." The Emperor said, "Take this opportunity to help me see if this woman is as they say, and if not, choose a suitable person at the palace banquet." ”
Concubine Liang adheres to the principle of not opening her mouth if she has nothing to do with herself, and is the same as Da Miao, just sitting next to her and listening.
The queen knows more than Concubine Liang, "Bachelor Zhang's granddaughter, who was taught in the harem school, is it his eldest granddaughter?" ”
The emperor nodded, "Exactly, this woman's name is Zhang Qing." ”
Only then did Concubine Liang know who she was talking about, "Isn't that person Xinhua's previous companion?" ”
"Oh, then this woman and Xinhua still have some fate." The emperor asked Da Miao again, "Xinhua, you should know something about her, what kind of person is she?" ”
Da Miao Xin said, how do I know, I haven't seen it again, "It's okay." ”
"I don't dare to say what this person's character is." Concubine Liang inserted a knife, "I'm afraid that my health is not very good, and I have told the queen several times to go home to recuperate." ”
"I didn't think of that." The emperor said, "Well, if she can't do it, she will change it, and the palace banquet invites the female dependents of officials above the third grade, and she can always choose a person who satisfies Prince Rong." ”
The queen asked, "In previous years, the palace banquet was all about inviting the families of officials above the second grade, why did you put it in the third grade this year?" ”
Speaking of the matter of the third product, Da Miao remembered, this matter was also mentioned in the video, the emperor was specially for the heroine, and put the threshold from the second grade to the third grade, because the heroine's father was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and it happened to be the third grade.
