278. Minister? Puppet Emperor (10)
Lian Yin had already inquired with the people around him who had knocked on the side before, and the little emperor was in the Zichen Hall every day except for the morning court, and the other time was in the Zichen Palace, and he consulted with the old ministers of the court, and he would not leave until dinner.
As for where to go at dinner, there is no need to ask, everyone knows it in their hearts.
Lian Yin plans to take the first step to make friends with the little emperor, and the standard process and standard equipment are that she takes food and drink to the Zichen Palace to comfort the little emperor who has worked hard.
Although this is a rotten old routine in TV dramas, it is indeed the easiest and most trouble-free routine.
Thinking so, Lian Yin was ready to do this, and raised his voice to order Dagong E, who was waiting in front, to ask her to go to the kitchen and ask if there were any ready-made edible stewed supplements.
The palace lady on duty at the moment is called Shunlan, and after hearing the words, she doesn't need to go to the kitchen to answer Lianyin, no, no, there is nothing in the kitchen.
"Why not?" Lian Yin frowned and looked at Shunlan.
Shunlan knew that Lian Yin didn't believe it, so she hurriedly explained: "It was the prince who withdrew." The prince said that there were not so many people in the palace, so why let the kitchen be on fire every day and stew and eat. So a new rule was set, and the kitchen was only open for a few fixed hours a day. If the Queen Mother wants to eat something, just tell Shunlan, and Shunlan will go to inform the kitchen later to prepare in advance. ”
In the entire Jokhang Palace, now except for the little emperor Jing Mang and the Queen Mother Lianyin, there are no other concubines and concubines.
Lian Yin, who got this explanation, suddenly came to his senses, and at the same time accepted this order from King Huaiyang very calmly.
Who knows that the food on the plate is hard, and now it is indeed not the scene when the previous emperor was there. If you can not waste it, you should not waste it.
Since she couldn't get the props she needed from the imperial dining room, Lian Yin was not distressed, and her eyes quickly swept to a plate of pastries placed on the table.
This plate of pastries was served at the end of lunch, freshly baked in the imperial dining room this morning. Because the imperial dining room was not open all the time, it was inevitable that the two most noble people in the palace were hungry and had nothing to eat, so they prepared this pastry.
Lianyin has a plate here, and I want to come to the little emperor to have a plate.
Still, who says that a person can only eat one plate? There is also no rule that this plate of pastry cannot be offered to the Buddha with flowers.
After finishing the topic just now, Lian Yin pointed to the plate of pastries on the table and said to Shunlan, "Put it up and go to Zichen Hall with me to have a look." ”
Shunlan was obviously taken aback by the destination that Lian Yin was going to, and regardless of whether she should ask about her status, she had already opened her mouth: "What is the Queen Mother going to Zichen Hall for?" ”
"I'll go see the emperor." Lian Yin didn't seem to notice whether Shunlan's question was overdue, and when she answered her, she had already gotten up and walked out.
Seeing this, Shunlan wanted to catch up with Lianyin again, and she had to box the pastries she ordered, and she was in a hurry for a while.
From Xingqing Palace to Zichen Palace, where the little emperor is located, it is only about ten minutes away. Legato simply walked over as if it were a walk.
It's just that Gong E Shunlan, who was following her, and several other palace maids seemed to be like an old lady in her seventies and eighties, and asked her if she was tired after walking a few steps, if she wanted to wait for a while, and let the people in Xingqing Palace come over to send her to Xingqing Palace.
Ligato refused.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, I was still sitting on the throne so close, and I was so hypocritical and lazy, I was afraid that I would become a lazy person in the future.
Moreover, the afternoon sun is just right. Drying the sun to do photosynthesis is also good for physical and mental health.
Starting from Xingqing Palace, after passing the four palace gates, the Zichen Palace is close in front of you.
Along the way, Lian Yin looked up at the majestic palace from time to time, perhaps knowing in his heart that he was just a passerby, because he did not have the sad thoughts of the women in the palace who yearned for the blue sky outside the palace as often described on TV and in China.
At least in the past two months, she has been pondering and studying all kinds of antique ornaments in Xingqing Palace every day, and she really doesn't feel boring at all.
Approaching the Zichen Palace, the palace people standing guard outside the hall had already noticed her, and immediately ran to her with small steps, and saluted respectfully: "The Queen Mother." "The voice is high-pitched, and the male and female are incomprehensible.
Lian Yin recognized this palace man who came to say hello, and he was still the big eunuch who served beside the little emperor, and his name was easy to remember, called Chengde.
It stands to reason that the emperor's office, like Chengde, should be waiting by the side, but he is standing outside the palace, is it that the little emperor is discussing major matters with the ministers in the court, and it is inconvenient for him to be around?
Lian Yin will not believe this reason.
Lian Yin smiled faintly, and said to Chengde: "It is reported that the emperor is bothering about state affairs in the Zichen Hall every day, so he is too bothered. I brought some pastries and told the emperor to rest for a while, so that he should not be too tired. ”
After explaining his intentions, Lian Yin did not forget to ask: "I don't know that the emperor can be in the palace at this time, I may go in?" ”
The great eunuch Chengde saw that Lian Yin spoke so politely, and he didn't put the queen mother on the shelf at all, and even called himself "I" when he spoke, which made people feel close. He wanted to send Lian Yin away, but he changed his mind at this time, anyway, the people inside didn't explain that the queen mother couldn't enter, so he told Lian Yin that the little emperor was in the palace and she could enter.
Lian Yin thanked Chengde for this and walked towards Zichen Palace.
Chengde looked at Lian Yin's back, thought about it, and couldn't help but mention: "Queen Mother, the prince is also in the palace at the moment." ”
Nowadays, when the people in this palace mention the king of Huaiyang, they only say the word "prince", anyway, the entire Jokhang Dynasty has a surname of the king of Huaiyang, and some of the palace people with important positions are all cultivated in his house, and it is a habit to call the prince.
King Huaiyang's presence in the palace at this moment was an accident for Lianyin, and it was not unexpected.
When she came, she also hoped that King Huaiyang would not be there, but since God didn't hear the voice in her heart, she still had to go in. When you come, you don't go in, but there are ghosts.
turned around and thanked Chengde, and Lian Yin walked into the hall without stopping.
This great eunuch may be able to be developed.
In addition to the whole hall, there are two rooms on the left and right of the Zichen Palace, one for resting and the other for study. At this moment, the little emperor and the king of Huaiyang were in the room on the right.
Lian Yin imagined that the two would get along in various scenes, but when she actually saw it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
In the study, King Huaiyang sat behind the bookcase, with a piece of music spread out in front of him, holding a royal pen in his hand, as if he was reviewing the rules.
As for the little emperor, he stood on the side of the bookcase with a book in his hand, stretching his neck to see what King Huaiyang was writing. If it weren't for the dragon robe on his body, he would really be the same as a little scholar.
Lian Yin couldn't help but wonder: This King of Huaiyang, is it a little too much.
