Chapter 183: Like an Emperor (Monthly Pass 300 Plus Update)
As Huang Yi'an expected, on the wedding day, she and Princess Shouyang went to the British Mansion to congratulate her, and only had time to bless Zhang Xi with a few auspicious words such as "husband and wife are harmonious and beautiful, and grow old together", so they were surrounded by all the nobles and relatives to "sit" on the main seat and accept all kinds of flattery and worship.
When Zhang Xi's sedan chair went out, Huang Yi'an and Princess Shouyang's three sisters got out with relief.
On the way back to the palace, Princess Shouyang couldn't help complaining: "I don't know why the queen mother has to let us come to congratulate today, I haven't had time to say a word to Sister Zhang!" ”
Although Princess Yongning and Princess Yanqing did not have a deep relationship with Zhang Xi, they were obviously impatient to socialize with the ladies of various families at a young age, and they all nodded again and again when they heard the words.
Huang Yi'an persuaded them with a smile, but he thought in his heart that Empress Dowager Li was going to take the Northwest Army first and reorganize the armament, but she couldn't use Longen to appease the British government first!
It's just that Qi Yu has never revealed this matter, did she not know about it, or did she deliberately not mention it to her because she was afraid of the ancestral training of the harem who was not allowed to interfere in politics?
Huang Yi'an returned to Kunning Palace with a stomach full of questions.
The three sisters of Princess Shouyang stuck to her like little tails, and they didn't leave in Kunning Palace.
"At today's banquet, so many pairs of eyes stared, every word you said to me, for the princess's majesty, I didn't eat enough." Princess Shouyang covered her stomach and pouted, "Where can I eat well here at the imperial sister-in-law?" ”
Princess Yongning nodded in agreement.
Princess Yanqing even pulled Huang Yi'an's sleeves, blinked a pair of big eyes, and begged in a soft voice: "Imperial sister-in-law, Yanqing wants to eat cold and sweet osmanthus stuffed." ”
When Princess Shouyang and Princess Yongning heard this, they also looked at Huang Yi'an expectantly.
Seeing this, Huang Yi'an pinched Princess Yanqing's fleshy little face, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, good!" Little gluttonous cats, they all have them, they all have them! ”
After that, he instructed the palace people to brew osmanthus flowers.
The three sisters of Princess Shouyang cheered, and they also took the opportunity to order a lot of dim sum fruits and the like that were always available in Kunning Palace.
After a while, the case was full.
The four of them were eating, and a waiter reported in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived-"
Huang Yi'an and the others hurriedly put down the spoon and went to greet them outside the hall.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Qi Yu walking over with his back to Xiehui, his face hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the three princesses and sisters of Shouyang couldn't even take care of the half-bowl of osmanthus stuffed that had not yet been eaten, so they directly said goodbye.
It's not that they are unrighteous to the imperial sister-in-law, but in front of the angry imperial brother, the imperial sister-in-law is obviously more appasing than them!
So they still don't want to stay and drag the royal sister-in-law back!
Huang Yi'an looked at the three sisters who were rushing out as if they were fleeing, and couldn't cry or laugh.
However, today's Qi Yu does not have the ease and smile of the past, he looks very serious and unhappy, no wonder the three Princess Shouyang sisters will be scared away.
Huang Yi'an guessed that there was another turmoil in the court, so he didn't ask much, and only served Qi Yu to enter the inner hall to change clothes.
Passing by the Yan Xi room, when he saw the osmanthus stuffed and dim sum fruits on the table, Qi Yu's footsteps paused slightly and continued to move forward.
Huang Yi'an saw it in his eyes and remained silent.
When Qi Yu came out of his regular clothes, he saw a new osmanthus brew on the table, and a few plates of dim sum and fruit that he liked, and his troubled mood suddenly became a lot more ironing, and he glanced at Huang Yi'an.
Huang Yi'an smiled back, pulled him to sit down at the table, and said with a smile: "Although it is almost late autumn and the weather is getting colder, I am still panicked. This osmanthus stuffed concubine specially ordered someone to take cold water to cool it, it is refreshing and pleasant, just in the mouth, Your Majesty, how about tasting it? ”
Qi Yu scooped a spoonful with a smile and put it in his mouth, sure enough, it was fragrant and cool, and it was very delicious, and he couldn't help but look up and smile: "I don't know how you practiced this craft, even people like me who don't like sweetness, they love to eat the sweet tea you make." ”
Huang Yi'an pursed his lips and smiled, "Secret! ”
After pondering the hearts and cooking skills of half a lifetime, how can they be compared to the imperial chefs of those Shang Shan Jian who act according to the rules?
Only someone like Yang Yiyi, who specializes in pondering Empress Dowager Li's hobbies, can fight with her, and it only works in front of Empress Dowager Li.
Qi Yu didn't ask any more, and finished eating a bowl of osmanthus stuffed with a smile, only to feel that most of the depression in his chest had also dispersed.
Huang Yi'an said softly: "The concubine seems to be displeased with His Majesty, and she doesn't dare to ask more, she just asks Your Majesty to take care of the dragon body at any time." ”
The words are sincere, and the feelings are sincere.
When Qi Yu saw it, the whole person couldn't help relaxing, took Huang Yi'an's hand, wrapped his hands around it, and sighed: "Now, you still care about my dragon body......
There was some ambiguity in what he said, but Huang Yian did not misunderstand.
Qi Yu is an emperor with a strong desire for power, and he will never tell her some colored jokes to love her in this situation.
Sure enough, immediately after that, I heard Qi Yu sigh in a low voice: "Those people will only care about whether I can follow their wishes and be a 'good' emperor!" ”
Huang Yi'an didn't answer, but just pulled out his hand and held Qi Yu instead.
When it comes to government affairs, she, as the queen, can't easily judge, the only thing she can do is to appease Qi Yu and let him understand that she is on his side no matter what.
Sure enough, Qi Yu's face gradually warmed up, and her gaze became much softer.
Huang Yi'an thought for a while, and mentioned the grand occasion of going to the British Mansion to watch the ceremony today: "...... I can't complain that the queen mother wants her concubines and Shouyang and the three of them to go to the British Mansion today to watch the ceremony and congratulate them, which really shows that Your Majesty's heavenly grace is vast, and the trust in the British Mansion is very high!
"Sister Zhang's wedding is also the first in the capital! I'm afraid that it's only ten or eight years, and the people in the capital won't forget it. ”
Huang Yi'an said with a smile while carefully observing Qi Yu's expression, and sure enough, he saw a slight smile on Qi Yu's face, and his gentle eyes gradually became condensed.
It seems that the reason why Qi Yu is unhappy today is inseparable from Zhang Gui's desire to implement the new policy in the army.
But this is not a bad thing for Qi Yu, who is bent on reform and forge ahead, why is Qi Yu sullen?
Did he contradict Jang Gyu about the details of the new deal, or was he unwilling to be concealed?
From the fact that Empress Dowager Li insisted on arranging for her and Princess Shouyang to congratulate her in person on the day of Zhang Xi's marriage, it can be seen that she had long known about Zhang Gui's decision and resolutely supported it.
But whether Qi Yu also knows is unknown.
Huang Yi'an waited for Qi Yu's answer.
But Qi Yu just smiled and said a few perfunctory words, and then revealed the matter and didn't mention it.
Seeing this, Huang Yi'an naturally didn't want to ask more.
The matter involves court secrets, and Qi Yu should hide it from her.
However, in the middle of the night, Qi Yu opened his mouth unexpectedly.
"Do you think that I, the emperor, look like an emperor?" Qi Yu said quietly, his voice still with the afterglow of wheezing.
