Chapter Eighty-Eight: Thinking the Same
Rong Jing hooked the corners of her lips, "You go and ask Xue'er to go to the Fucheng vegetable market to buy some vegetables, which are the dishes that the palace often cooks for the emperor, and today the palace will cook it himself." ”
"The slave understands, and the slave will go and get Xue'er ready."
Han Xi was sent by Murong Cha to invite the emperor to have dinner together, but he happened to meet Rong Jing as soon as he came, and he was slightly stunned and a little helpless, is this a narrow road?
"The slave has seen the imperial concubine."
Rong Jing raised her eyes and looked at Han Xi, and slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "Because General Murong had to let you go last night, do you think this palace will really believe that General Murong asked you to go out to buy?" ”
Han Xi hooked the corners of his lips slightly, "But the imperial concubine, General Murong has already told you personally, if you have any doubts, then you should go and tell him in person, instead of threatening the slave and maid like this." ”
"Hmph, that's pretty sharp. People like you really can't be kept, so it's better to get rid of them as soon as possible. But this palace is in a good mood today, and I am too lazy to worry about you, after returning to the palace, you better be careful with this palace! ”
Han Xi didn't say anything, and watched Rong Jing leave before going to the room where the emperor was, "Gonggong Li, please inform the emperor, the queen mother will bring a message to the emperor." ”
In fact, Han Xi didn't want to come very much, because after all, the last time she talked to the emperor was so unpleasant, so she wanted to avoid talking to the emperor.
But I didn't expect to be sent by Murong Cha to talk about this kind of thing again, I really don't know what kind of attitude the emperor will have towards her? Although Murong Feng said last time that the emperor said that it was for her good, she was always a little incomprehensible.
"The emperor will let you in."
Han Xi nodded with a smile and walked in, "Slave maid see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
"Get up, what's the matter with the queen asking you to come?" Gao Zhan's voice was cold, and he couldn't hear any attitude at all.
But this is also what Han Xi wants, it is best to be like this, if it is like this, then she doesn't have to worry about anything, and she just needs to say the purpose of her coming.
"The queen wants to invite the emperor to eat with her tonight, but she is giving alms now, and there is no way to come in person, so she asked the slave to pass the word."
Gao Zhan paused, and his tone was still cold, "You're late, just now I have promised to go to the imperial concubine's place for dinner tonight, so I can't go to the queen's place today." ”
Han Xi was slightly speechless, sure enough, she was still a step late, she didn't expect that the emperor had forgiven Rong Jing, no wonder she was in such a good mood when she saw Rong Jing just now.
If Murong Cha knew that the emperor was going to eat at the imperial concubine today, I am afraid that the temper that has always been very hot will only make her even more angry, after all, she has always thought that the two of them have not reconciled.
"In this way, the slave and maid will not disturb the emperor, and the slave and maid will retire."
Han Xi sighed, it seems that she can only go back and be scolded today, and there is no other way, after all, she has already agreed, and it is impossible for her to let the emperor cancel going to the imperial concubine, unless she doesn't want to live.
"Wait, what's going on with almsgiving now? Do you have enough to prepare for the people? Gao Zhan put down the things in his hand at this time, and his brows were a little deeply worried.
Han Xi was slightly stunned when he saw the deep worry in his brows, was he deeply worried about the people outside?
"Back to the emperor, everything is still very sufficient, and there are a lot of people coming, and the ladies are almost too busy." Han Xi replied respectfully.
In fact, Han Xi has never understood the necessity of giving, but such a simple giving only solved the predicament of some people at that time, but after that, it should be what it should be.
It was clearly a solution to a long-term problem, and it didn't seem necessary to her, but she couldn't say it.
"Han Xi, what do you think of this problem in Fucheng?" Gao Zhan raised his head and looked at Han Xi with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
This made Han Xi slightly stunned, and he didn't understand why he suddenly asked himself this question. "Your Majesty, the slave maid is just a palace maid and doesn't understand these issues."
"I'm just asking you what you think, not for you to solve it, I just want to hear more people's opinions." Gao Zhan's voice was still very cold, and people couldn't hear the meaning of his words.
Han Xi nodded, since he let himself say it, then he would say it directly, anyway, what he asked him to say, and it was not what he had to say.
"The slave felt that it was a waste of time and energy, and it was an unnecessary thing. This is how the slave and maid think about almsgiving! ”
Han Xi said what she thought in her heart, without the slightest concealment, and no matter what Gao Zhan thought, at least until now, she had always thought so, it was a waste of time.
Gao Zhan raised his eyebrows and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "You think the same as me." I asked so many people, and their answers were almost always the same, saying that it was good, only your answer was the same as what I thought. ”
Han Xi was stunned, isn't it, just like that, he answered directly to the point? This is too lucky, right, what should she say? It was something she couldn't have imagined herself.
"Huh, yes? I didn't expect the slave to think the same as the emperor. Since the emperor also thinks so, then why do you still come to give alms every year, isn't it a waste of time? ”
Gao Zhan smiled a little embarrassedly, "I have always maintained this habit because I have always been lazy, and I have never thought about how well I should govern the country, because I had no responsibility in my heart at that time."
But as I watched more things, I realized that as the emperor, I needed to be responsible for all the people. So in the past two years, I have been thinking about whether what I did was right. ”
Han Xi didn't expect Gao Zhan to admit his past shortcomings and his childish thoughts. It turns out that the emperor is so modest, which makes her a little subversive!
After all, the emperor seen in the TV series is still the emperor recorded in history, and those Ming monarchs are indeed very considerate of the people, but they will never turn out their mistakes and re-say them to a palace maid like themselves.
This is why Han Xi was so surprised by Gao Zhan's behavior!
