Chapter 186: Grapes
Ling'er went to the emperor with apprehension. Along the way, I was thinking about whether to use soft words and coquettish ways to get my father to agree, or to use a coquettish and unreasonable attitude to get my father to agree.
Approaching the palace, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were chatting happily with Wen Jingye next to them, laughing and laughing.
"Father, queen mother, the child is here." Ling'er ran over with a smile, pretending to have just seen Wen Jingye, with a surprised expression written on her face: "Father is here." ”
"Your Majesty!" Wen Jingye stood up and saluted.
"Father, there are no outsiders here, get up quickly." Ling'er stood up from the Queen Mother's side and went to help Wen dedicate himself.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Jingye is still a proper salute.
"I didn't know my father was here, otherwise I would have brought Ah Jue with me." Ling'er thought that Ah Jue estimated that it was time to go to the palace to study, and she didn't know whether to call him over or not.
"The minister is to send things into the palace for His Majesty, and he will leave the palace after a while. Your Highness can also be seen often, and there is no need to see him again today. "Wen Jingye doesn't look as kind as Qi Hai, maybe it's because of the generals, he looks fierce.
"What's good?" Ling'er's eyes widened.
"Isn't it August 15 soon, Beimeng's neighbor Tubo used to pay tribute to Beimeng, and this year the tribute sent us here, grapes and some gold and silver utensils." Seeing that Wen Jingye only said something, it turned out that he had been busy with these things in the past few days, he pointed to the ground on the side and continued: "You see, seedless white grapes are mainly planted here, as well as horse **, red grapes, Kashgar, Baijiagan, and trivial. Your Majesty look at this, here is seedless white, this is Ma **, the rest is Baijiagan, Munag, black grapes, Hetian red, Kashgar, pink concubine, especially seedless white is the most precious, thin skin and tender meat, juicy and sweet, known as 'pearl', and rich in a variety of nutrients. Grapes can also be used to make wine, jams and juices. Here are some gold and silver utensils sent by Tibet. ”
Ling'er looks spherical, oval, oval-shaped, some grapes are as crystal as pearls, some are fresh as agate, and some are as green as jade. The colorful and green grapes are mouth-watering. A smile appeared on his face: "Father, it's really a grape, it's not the same as ours." ”
"Well, there are few people in the palace, let's send some to the clan, there are not many households in the clan, and they will come back and give points to each family above the third grade. It's up to Wen Guogong to do these things, you handle them, so please ask Wen Guogong to continue to be busy. The Emperor pointed over there.
"Father, leave some for me, I don't know what Ah Jue likes to eat." Ling'er looked at the grapes with a smile and pulled one into her mouth, well, it's so sweet.
"Yes, I obey." Wen Guogong stood up and arched his hand.
"Father, the sons and daughters will take some to the imperial study first, leave some more for the queen mother, and the sons will come back in the evening to faint." There are still a bunch of things on Ling'er's side, which are actually a bunch of concertos. Prepare to go back first.
"Well, go back, and ah, don't fight my guard camp idea, not a single soldier will give it to you." The emperor said this before Ling'er left.
Ling'er's face collapsed suddenly, and she withdrew without saying anything. Before she arrived at the imperial study, Wen Jingye caught up with her.
"Your Majesty, the minister has sent you to the imperial study, and His Royal Highness's minister has also brought it." Wen Jingye was holding a large box filled with all kinds of grapes, which looked gratifying. It's just that Ling'er is in a bad mood and has no appetite.
"Thank you, father." Ling'er said with a reluctant smile.
"The minister has something to talk to His Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow the minister to go to the imperial study to talk about it?" Wen Jingye stood up straight with the box and looked at Ling'er.
"Father just give this to the father-in-law of the knife, please." Ling'er made a gesture of invitation to him.
"Your Majesty, please." Wen Jingye turned the box around and handed it to the so-called father-in-law with a knife, and followed Ling'er into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty's so-called need to move the guards, the emperor still disagrees. The minister thought about it, it should be to save the princess of Nanyue Wei, right? Wen Jingye got straight to the point.
"Yes, I didn't tell my father that I promised the prince of Wei in Nanyue, and borrowed ten of his guards to go to the valley, and then to Nanyue. With Zhuge Ke's own ability, he can't go at all. Ling'er looked at this old general who had always opposed sending troops, and didn't know how to explain for a while that what he had promised and what he had just promised could not be fulfilled, and Chrysostom was like a fart. Ling'er put herself in her seat and stretched out her hand to ask the little father-in-law next to her to move the seat for Wen Guogong. Then he said: "Now that my father doesn't agree, Ling'er will be dishonest again." ”
Wen Guogong sat there and thought for a while, but did not speak.
"Hey, what do you do to your father, my father cherishes the soldiers more than my father, and the people who send them are more auspicious, aren't they, everyone is raised by their father's mother." Ling'er shook her head.
"If Your Majesty thinks it's feasible, my Wen family can also do it, it can't be said to be comparable to the guard camp, but compared with the forbidden army, it won't be any worse. I'll pick twenty for Your Majesty, anyway, there is nothing in the imperial city that needs to be protected, it's just to prevent thieves, and the less than twenty gadin in the Wenfu is enough to prevent thieves. I am a military general, and ordinary thieves dare not come. Wen Guogong is not a person who promises easily, he is a military general, and Ling'er was even more moved by these words.
"Father..."Ling'er didn't know what kind of mood she was in now, so she hurriedly continued: "Ling'er will thank my father first, I'm going to leave tonight, is it too late?" No, I'll go and tell Zhuge Ke, and then slowly. ”
"Your Majesty's time is the military order, it will definitely be completed, Rong Chen will go home first to deal with Your Majesty's affairs, and then deal with this grape matter." Wen Jingye originally got up to leave, as if he remembered something, he stood up and said to Ling'er: "In fact, when it comes to sending troops, no matter whether the minister says it or not, no matter whether the rest of the people say it or not, the emperor will not send troops." I also hope that Your Majesty will not hold a grudge against the minister because of this matter, and I don't want Your Majesty to hold a grudge against His Royal Highness because of the affairs of the minister and the minister's family. His Royal Highness is the child of the minister, and the minister is the same love, and the love of the parents is far-reaching. My father is not very competent, and there are few times when he is around, but there is a lot of love. ”
"Where does my father say, how can I hate my father, and I won't hate Ah Jue. Whether to send troops or not is a state matter, how can there be any personal grudges. Ling'er also stood up and prepared to send Wen Jingye.
"Your Majesty, please stay, the minister has to go back to choose someone, and set off at the door of the minister's house at night, the minister also wants to talk to the prince of Wei, and the minister and his father also have a friendship." After Wen Jingye finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Father, keep more grapes in the Guogong Mansion, double the amount of father and brother, there are many people in the family, all taste it." Ling'er didn't know how to thank her.
"Thank you Your Highness for your love, the amount of the minister and the eldest son of the minister is enough, such a thing must not make others fall into the trap." After Wen Jingye finished speaking, he really turned around and went out.
Ling'er stood there and walked back to her senses, and said to the little eunuch at the door: "Go and see if His Highness's class is over, and invite him to come over when it's over." ”
