Chapter 52: Greasy
Many times Ruan Lingxi wondered if Ruan Lingwei was not so outstanding, would her father share some of his love for her?
"She is the concubine of the Marquis of Wu'an, I didn't expect to do this." The Emperor exclaimed with some amazement.
You know, his beloved concubine won't.
And don't talk about Ruan Lingxi, even if she was born as a concubine from a small family, it won't be.
"Yes, this sister of the concubine has liked to eat since she was a child, so she is particularly interested in cooking and makes good soup." Ruan Lingxi snuggled in the emperor's arms when she said this, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to reward her?" ”
"My golden mouth is naturally true." The Emperor laughed.
"The concubine rewarded her with a lot of things before, and she didn't lack anything, so ...... Gold, silver and jewelry will be exempted, the concubine wants to help her ask for a favor, ask the emperor to give her a promotion position, she is the concubine of the Marquis of Wu'an, if she has been a royal maid of the eighth grade, it is not good after all, lest people think that the emperor does not want to see our Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Ruan Lingxi laughed coquettishly.
Where does that begin? I have always been very good to my father-in-law, and when I learned that he was not in good health, I deliberately let him stay in Beijing to raise him, and not to lead the troops to fight. The Emperor said with a smile.
That's right, he did have good intentions, and he loved the house and the black!
As the emperor, he really doesn't have so many hearts.
It's just that it was used by Ruan Lingxi.
"Of course the concubine knows that the emperor is good to the concubine, and the concubine's family is good, the concubine's father was really not very good before, so the emperor took back his military power and let him rest, but my father has been in good health recently, if the emperor thinks that my father is credible, I can also let my father lead the troops to fight again and share the emperor's worries." Ruan Lingxi leaned on the emperor and said softly.
Previously, she instigated the emperor to remove her father's military power, which was nothing more than to give her father a disgrace and to improve the status of her mother and brother in the family.
But these days, she thought about it carefully, the reason why Qing Zhaoyi lived so well in the palace that even the emperor had to give face, was because her maiden Jiang family was full of military generals and held military power.
Since my father lost his military power, the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion has not been able to compare with the past.
Moreover, her father's military power fell into the hands of Qing Zhaoyi's father and brother, which made her very angry.
Now, she should be angry, as long as her father agrees to straighten out her mother and be a flat wife, she will beg the emperor to return her father's military power to him.
"Okay, in two months, I'll let my father-in-law continue to lead the troops to fight, as for your sister...... It's really inappropriate to be an eight-grade maid all the time, so let's be promoted to a six-grade talent. The Emperor yawned and said.
Ruan Lingxi originally wanted to ask Ruan Lingwei for a position in the seven-rank treasure forest, but she heard the emperor promote her to a six-grade talent.
"Your Majesty, will it be inappropriate to suddenly promote her to a sixth-grade talent?" Ruan Lingxi asked with a smile.
"There's nothing wrong with it, as the concubine of the Marquis of Wu'an, after entering the palace, she should be at least above the fourth grade, but because I already have you, and it is also your intention to let her enter the palace, so I don't care much, and now she is promoted to a six-grade talent, which is also for the sake of her good food." The Emperor said with a smile.
Ruan Lingxi nodded after hearing this.
"I didn't promote her position for nothing, let her make food for us in the future." The emperor pinched Ruan Lingxi's face and said with a smile.
Ruan Lingxi's heart trembled after hearing this.
With Ruan Lingwei's temperament as a dead girl, where can she endure such humiliation.
Because he wanted to have a son, he had promised the girl to keep her safe within a year, so it was naturally impossible to call her like a cook.
"Your Majesty, that's the sister of the concubine, the concubine of the Marquis of Wu'an, we can't be like a cook, just let her do it occasionally, otherwise the people in the palace don't know how to laugh at her, the concubine and her are born from the same root, and her shame is also the shame of the concubine." Ruan Lingxi hurriedly said.
"Okay, just let her cook a dish once in a while." The Emperor nodded slightly.
Because the "cold cake" he ate just now made him appetite, the emperor ate a lot of food before putting down his chopsticks.
Ruan Lingxi originally wanted to leave the emperor to take a nap, but he heard a report that the king of Qi had arrived at Changle Palace and was waiting for the emperor.
"I have something to discuss with King Qi, so I'll go back first." The emperor patted Ruan Lingxi's hand and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the concubines also want to go with the emperor, and after the emperor and the emperor finish discussing the matter with the emperor's uncle, the concubines have something to say to the emperor." Ruan Lingxi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go together." The emperor nodded, and he was still counting on Ruan Lingxi to help him review the recital.
There is already a backlog of twists and turns on his side, and the old things in the cabinet are already urging it.
In Changle Palace, Xiao Liyan had been waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, and he drank several cups of tea.
The eunuch who was waiting saw that his face was not good, and he smiled vigorously.
Xiao Liyan didn't bother to see his old face, waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”
"Yes, lord." The old eunuch replied and hurriedly retreated.
After a long while, the emperor finally returned from Fengluan Palace.
"Uncle Huang has been waiting for a long time, is it me?" When the emperor entered the door, he laughed loudly, and his face was full of smiles.
"Say hello to the emperor." Xiao Liyan stood up and hugged his fists.
"Uncle Huang, sit down, don't be polite." The Emperor laughed.
"Your Majesty, why did you let your ministers into the palace?" Xiao Liyan asked straight to the point.
"Uncle Huang, the weather in the capital is too hot, I want to go out to escape the heat." The Emperor yawned and said.
"Escape the heat? Okay, then let's go to Shangyang Palace. Xiao Liyan nodded.
Shangyang Xinggong is three hundred miles away from the capital, which is not far away, even if the emperor brings a lot of people, take a carriage and pass slowly, and the kung fu will arrive in six or seven days.
The emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty, whenever the weather is hot, like to go to Shangyang Palace to escape the summer.
Although it has just arrived in May, it is a little early, but the emperor is going, and Xiao Liyan will not stop him.
"I don't want to go to Shangyang Palace, I want to go to Guangyang Palace, it's not only cooler and more comfortable in summer, but also bigger and wider, there are many palaces, I can live a lot of people, I can bring all the harem concubines and civil and military ministers, and there are mountains, rivers and pastures, and you can also hunt, go to Shangyang Palace every year, how greasy." The Emperor laughed.
"Your Majesty, Guangyang Palace has six hundred miles of land in our capital, which is far away, if the emperor goes now, he will probably not come back until the end of August and the beginning of September, and the ministers will be dissatisfied." Xiao Liyan frowned.
"I just knew that those old people would not agree, so I told Uncle Huang first, as long as Uncle Huang took the lead in responding, they naturally didn't dare to say much." The Emperor said with a smile.
