Chapter 53 When things go wrong, there must be demons

Qin Zihuai had a headache when he saw Luo Hansheng being so extreme, Luo Hansheng was now thinking about seeking power and usurping the throne, this child had to stay, he could only persuade Luo Hansheng again: "Xiangye, the concubine has decided to give birth, how sad is this child without the concubine?" Besides, if you want to take the throne, this child is an indispensable link. ”

Luo Hansheng gritted his teeth, he hated Li Yizhe, how could he be willing to watch the woman he loved the most give birth to Li Yizhe's child? He's not reconciled!

"Xiangye, calm down." Qin Zihuai patted him on the shoulder and went out.

Luo Hansheng sat alone in the tent, there was a dead silence around him, and he could even hear the sound of his own breathing. Outside, there was the sound of soldiers drinking wine, eating meat, and guessing fists, which could not be heard really, as if they were not in the same world as him.

He slowed his breath and pulled out the silk from under his pillow, which was grinding to the point of decay. Yan Er...... What should I do with you, with this child?

Qin Zihuai was afraid that Luo Hansheng would do something stupid, so he sent someone to find Jiu Niangzi. Fengyuetian people are all over Kyushu, and even there are Fengyuetian people in the military camp. The news quickly spread to the Nine Lady. Jiu Niangzi repaired the book overnight and sent it to Chang'an and sent it to Meng Zhaoyi.

Early the next morning, the letter arrived. Meng Zhaoyi looked at the letter from the Nine Lady and was silent for a long time. Sister Jiu means that this child must be saved, there are so many eyes in the harem watching, everyone wants to give birth to the eldest son. Ruoyan's baby is not easy to protect. Now Luo Hansheng can't see this child, and it is even more difficult to protect this child. Meng Zhaoyi only felt that her head was too big, but who told her to owe Yun Ruolan a life, and also owed Jiu Niangzi a life? This is a debt she owes, and she must pay it back. Fortunately, it was Ruoyan who was still there, the girl who looked stubborn and strong but was actually fragile, and she also felt sorry for her.

Meng Zhaoyi replied to Jiu Niangzi's letter, but she didn't dare to say it to death, so she only said: "Do your best."

Ruoyan's birth is quite valued by Li Yizhe. Even a few days ago, Concubine Shen finally softened her figure and wrote a letter begging if she could be allowed to come back for the Dragon Boat Festival, but Li Yizhe found excuses and refused.

The Dragon Boat Festival family banquet will soon arrive. If Yan has a body, it is not suitable to work, and the matter has all fallen on Meng Zhaoyi. Fortunately, she has done it a few times, and this time it is also beautiful.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Hua Jieyu was unexpectedly released, but she was still not allowed to go out after the Dragon Boat Festival. But as long as you can come out once, even if you don't have it twice?

For the Dragon Boat Festival, Xueying sent someone to find Gaoyou's salted eggs to buy back, and specially made pine nut candy and wrapped all kinds of zongzi. Early in the morning, Ruoyan used zongzi for breakfast. Li Yizhe happened to come over to accompany her for breakfast, picked up and picked up a zongzi and peeled it, it was filled with red dates. He put the zongzi on a plate and poured honey, and asked Ruoyan with a smile: "Does Ah Yan like sweet zongzi or salty zongzi?" ”

Ruoyan took a bite of the zongzi given by Li Yizhe, frowned, thought about it, and then said: "Originally, when I was a child, the cooks in the Guogong Mansion were all excellent, sweet and salty. I've never thought about whether I like sweet or salty. Later, I spent the Dragon Boat Festival in the opera garden, and it would be good to have zongzi to eat. There is no such thing as a picky share. ”

Li Yizhe knew that he had made Ruoyan unhappy, so he hurriedly filled a bowl of duck soup and handed it over to coax her: "Don't think about the past, I will be here in the future, and I will never let you suffer even a little grievance." ”

"Your Majesty is better to make fewer promises, wouldn't it be a shame if you can't do it when the time comes?" Ruoyan glanced at him and scooped a spoonful of duck soup to drink, and frowned after taking two sips, "This duck is not good, it's Jianchang duck, right?" The old duck soup is delicious with Liancheng white duck. Jianchang duck is too fat, and the oil is panicked. Liancheng White Duck is much better, there is no fishy smell, and it is not greasy. His Majesty, the eunuch who bought the palace dining room, should check it out. The price of Liancheng white duck is more expensive than that of Jianchang duck. It looks like a small amount, but this duck they can do such hands and feet inevitably nothing else. It should be a lot of money. Now that the front line is tight, these people with unclean hands and feet are still doing this, how can they be in the direction of Gangming? ”

"That's right." Li Yizhe nodded, turned to Gonggong Lin and asked, "Who is in charge of purchasing in the dining room?" ”

Gonggong Lin thought for a while and replied: "It's Father-in-law Zhou Rui, and he is the nephew of the personal maid who married Concubine Shen back then." Concubine Shen originally relied on him when she was in the palace, and specially transferred him to do this errand. ”

"Raid the house, beat twenty boards, and expel them from the palace." Li Yizhe was annoyed when he heard Concubine Shen's name.

"Take this soup down, and go to the palace maids who arranged the banquet today. Don't waste it. Ruoyan commanded Ling Yin. Today, Xueying was busy helping to arrange the family dinner, and it was her turn to accompany her.

"Wait." Ruoyan stopped her, "In the future, don't pour the rest of every meal for the palace concubines, and if you withdraw it, you will give it to the palace maids and eunuchs below." It's all wasted, you go and talk to the palaces. ”

"Why are you so thrifty?" Li Yizhe asked her with a smile, "You can run the house." ”

"The concubine was idle yesterday, looked at the accounts of the Internal Affairs Office, and the daily food of the talented people also has one liter and two taels of aged stem rice every day, six catties of pork, six catties of fresh vegetables, two catties of white flour, two taels of sugar, three taels of sesame oil, eight taels of tofu, eight taels of powder pot residue, six taels of sweet sauce, two taels of vinegar, six eggplants, six pieces of king gourd, eight chickens and ducks each month, and ten catties of mutton per month. That's enough for a dozen people to eat if they let the men go. The concubine asked the people below, and the concubine could basically eat seven or eight of the meals at each meal, and the rest was all poured down. The food of the female eunuchs in the lower palace was cooked from another stove, and some of them went on errands late without food. So why not give the rest of the reward? It is not only a reward for the master and eating well, but also saves some consumption of rice, flour and vegetables, and it is also a lot of money over time. If it is used to build bridges and roads, isn't it also a great merit to give porridge and set up sheds? ”

"How did you remember that?" Li Yizhe felt a little interesting.

"Wealth comes from frugality, and when I was a child, my mother also talked to her concubines about the family. The people below were still not satisfied, and the masters took and poured out their food when they couldn't finish it. Don't you think it's too much? Not to mention how many people across the country still don't have enough to eat. The concubine felt that her conscience was disturbed. Ruoyan scooped a salted egg with a small spoon and ate it. I didn't even lift my eyes.

"What you said makes sense, Gonggong Lin, you go and arrange it."

Gonggong Lin was also very happy, and the wrinkles on his face came out with a smile, and he responded again and again: "Yes, yes, the old slave immediately ordered to go down." The mother is kind-hearted, and the harem is blessed. ”

"Where did my father-in-law say? Hongu also has its own selfish intentions. Ruoyan raised her head and smiled slightly, "Every time I go back to the palace to eat, Xue Ying and Ling Yin are waiting on the side. They are young, and it's okay to stand on one side, but when they are hungry and watch Bengong eat alone and help pour water with vegetables, Bengong also feels a little cruel. Now that Mama Du is in the palace, the palace is even more unbearable. Although the rules can't be messed up, the master should wait like this when he eats. But Bengong thought, they were busy waiting for a meal, and they couldn't eat these good dishes and rice, what did they say? ”

"Ouch, Niangniang is considerate, this is the blessing of the people who do things under us!" Gonggong Lin smiled even more happily, "The old slave also has to congratulate Your Majesty for getting such a virtuous helper." ”

Li Yizhe was also very happy to hear what Gonggong Lin said. But at this time, the little eunuch outside ran in and told Hua Jieyu that Hua Jieyu asked to see her.

Li Yizhe's face was not good-looking: "She? What did she come to do? ”

The little eunuch replied cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Hua Jieyu said that she prepared a song and dance for the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet to be dedicated to His Majesty's mother, but she lacked a shawl of ten auspicious brocade moon shadow veils. She didn't have such rare materials, and when she heard that the mother had it, she wanted to ask for a horse. ”

"That's interesting." Ruoyan laughed, "Shixiangjin is the color of the paper paper made by the poetess Xue Tao of the former Tang Dynasty with plants and trees, which is already very difficult to match, let alone dyed with cloth or an inch of gold moon shadow yarn to make that color." It's very rare to see in this palace, but she will pick up things, and pick up good ones when she comes up. ”

"What do you do with such good materials and colors? Isn't it a waste of things? Li Yizhe frowned.

"Your Majesty, that slave went back to Hua Jieyu and said you didn't see it?" The little eunuch's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Tell her to bring the dance clothes, and the palace also wants to see what style and color of the dance clothes are actually using ten auspicious brocade shawls." Ruoyan was interested.

The color of Shixiang brocade is strange, it seems to be pink but not red, it is said that the pink is heavier, and the red is lighter. If it is used as a shawl, the dance clothes must be red to match it. But Hua Jieyu's identity can't wear red. The color of this dance costume is intriguing.

The little eunuch went back to Hua Jieyu, but coincidentally, she came back not long after she went out, saying that Hua Jieyu had brought her dance clothes over.

Ruoyan replied lazily: "Let her bring it in." ”

Li Yizhe frowned: "You are bold, aren't you afraid of what she will do?" ”

Ruoyan laughed: "Then she has to have the courage to do this, Your Majesty is inside, what does she dare to do?" If something happens, you're going to lose your head on the spot. ”

"That's it. Let her in. Li Yizhe shook his head helplessly.

Hua Jieyu was holding a sandalwood plate, and inside it was a ten-auspicious brocade dance dress. Ruoyan felt funny in her heart, and it was difficult for her to bother to make such a skirt.

Li Yizhe was also a little surprised when he saw this dance costume, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yueshu: "Hua Jieyu has a heart, and the ten auspicious brocade materials can be found for you to make dance clothes." ”

Jiang Yueshu was very happy when she saw Li Yizhe seeing herself, raised her eyes and quietly glanced at Li Yizhe, her face was about to turn red, and she replied with a smile: "If you go back to Your Majesty, the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet is a happy event, and the concubine is pregnant again, and the concubine is also happy for His Majesty." It is more important to prepare carefully. This material was also asked for by the concubine after looking for a lot of money. In order to dance and look good when the time comes, so that His Majesty will be happy to watch. ”
