At the end of June of the ninth year of Xining, the emperor in the harem leaned on the bamboo weaving cool step, and there were two palace maids behind him with fans, Zhu Jieyu, who was more than five months pregnant, carefully sent a piece of pear into the emperor's mouth, looking at the emperor's frowning brows with his eyes closed, and his heart was distressed.

"Official, but you haven't slept well?" Zhu Jieyu stood up and carefully comforted the emperor's forehead, "Niangniang repeatedly told the official family to eat well and sleep well." ”

The emperor sighed, opened his eyes and pulled Zhu Jieyu to sit down, stroked her abdomen, and said, "The son of the prime minister's family, I'm afraid it's not good." "He is an emperor with a difficult heir, and he has experienced the grief of the death of his child many times, so he deeply feels the sadness when the prince came to ask for leave.

Part of the emperor's grief comes from the fact that Wang Anshi's son is true, but a greater part is because of the fact that he is about to be unable to keep this prime minister.

"Didn't the official family go to the imperial doctor? Presumably, Wang Xiaoxianggong can survive this catastrophe. Zhu Jieyu frowned, although she was a concubine who was in the deep palace and didn't listen to court affairs, but she knew that the queen mother of the two palaces had a deep grudge against this prime minister, and cried in front of the emperor more than once, so when she heard that Prime Minister Wang's family affairs were not good, her first reaction was to be happy, but when she saw the bulging abdomen, she was also a person who was about to have a child, so she hurriedly put away the unreasonable happiness, but she finally didn't want to talk more about this Wang Prime Minister, so she sighed, and the emperor was so frightened that he immediately sat up and called the imperial doctor.

"Official, you might as well, you might as well, it's the child who kicked the concubine again." Zhu Jieyu said a little shyly, looking at the emperor's instantly radiant face, there was a hint of secret pride, and now only this child in her womb can divert the emperor's attention.

"Official, you have to take care of the dragon's body, don't overwork." Zhu Jieyu leaned into the emperor's arms, and said sincerely, which made the emperor sigh with emotion, thinking that Guo Kui, the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Academy, had successfully taken over Zhao Du's position, and he wanted to let the intertwined child taste the lesson, and he couldn't help praying to heaven in his heart, let the Song army win a big victory, he needed a victory too much to relieve his anxious heart.

"Official." Zhu Jieyu remembered something, and hurriedly picked up a piece of carrot cut into round slices from the table and sent it to the emperor's mouth, "This is the reeds planted by the Liu family that Niangniang specially bought from Cheng'an." ”

As soon as the emperor heard about the Liu family, his interest immediately improved, and he chewed it carefully, only to feel crispy and sweet, "Why are they even planting fruits now?" How many new things are there in this Liu Aiqing? ”

Zhu Jieyu covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "It's not a fruit, it is said that Liu Xiaoxiang's wife, Cao, is planted as a vegetable, and said that it can be fried, boiled, steamed and fried, but it's a pity that the people who went there didn't see the practice and couldn't make it for the official family to taste." ”

"Oh, really?" The emperor smiled, "Does Concubine Ai want to taste it?" ”

"I heard that the people of Cheng'an County can also eat fresh vegetables in winter, and the people laughed at the emperor-like life, how do they know that the official family can't eat that," Zhu Jieyu covered her mouth and smiled, "Niangniang laughed and annoyed when she heard it, laughing at the people's good life, it is the blessing of our Great Song Dynasty, and the annoyance is that the people of the Liu family have such skills and do not benefit the people, so they want to be greedy for huge profits。。。。。。 Before she finished her words, she was reprimanded by the emperor with a heavy face: "Bold! ”

The concubine must not discuss court affairs in vain, Zhu Jieyu was so frightened that she trembled, and then realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said with a change of color: "The concubine is guilty." ”

The emperor's good mood disappeared in an instant, a few days ago, Liu Xiaohu had been impeached in the imperial history on this matter, but the emperor knew something, it was not just for the Liu family's small few acres of land, but because Liu Xiaohu stood in the party against the new law, when he first entered the dynasty, Wang Cheng cherished the talent of this young man very much, and invited him to talk more than once, but Liu Xiaohu not only refused, but also prepared a generous gift in front of the visitor, and ran to Luoyang to ask to see Sima Xianggong, If you can't see it, you will pay a big salute outside Sima's mansion and go, the news came that Wang Anshi vomited blood and scolded the ignorant child, which naturally annoyed the new law party, and the imperial history Li Ding made a big fuss about the high price of Cheng'an vegetables in the capital last winter, and the emperor summoned him several times, and saw that Liu Xiaohu was tired of the winter wheat and winter harm and was haggard, so he pressed the matter and did not mention it, but he did not expect that this word had spread to the deep palace.

"The official family, the concubine did not accuse Liu Xianggong, even Niangniang did not mean that, but liked Liu Xianggong very much, Niangniang knew that Liu Xianggong's family had little land, and sympathized with the tenants, and collected less rent, and those dishes were not the price raised by their family, Niangniang meant that it would be good if Liu Xianggong instructed the people here to plant some in the capital, but he sighed for a while, and had no other intentions, please Your Majesty Mingjian." Zhu Jieyu burst into tears, bent down and bowed, and the emperor hurriedly mixed her up to help her wipe her tears and comfort her.

"It's not a difficult thing, it's just that Liu Aiqing is tired from work, how can she be more tired for the sake of good luck, but I can promise Concubine Ai that she will definitely be able to eat fresh vegetables this winter, and the recipes of those dishes can also be tried."

"Official?" Zhu Jieyu's tearful face was full of surprise, and she asked puzzled.

The emperor smiled heartily and said, "I heard that Liu Aiqing's wife, the Cao family has come to Beijing." ”

At this time, Liu Xiaohu, who rarely took a vacation, was lying on the bed and hugging his little wife to say some interesting things about the boudoir, but the two of them sneezed coldly at the same time.

"You messed around last night, and you had to sit on that shameful thing outside! It must be cold! Lin Saiyu pushed away Liu Xiaohu, who was tired of herself, turned over and was about to sit up, "I'll let Ying'er boil some Erchen soup." ”

Lindsay Yu only wore a homely white silver striped yarn shirt, a pale pink mud skirt, a simple bun, no ornaments, Liu Xiaohu saw that she was delicate and clear in the sun shadow, and she was overjoyed, and hugged her and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the soup will come in a while." Saying that, looking out the window, Lin Saiyu smiled, turned around and sat down face to face with him, and said with a smile: "Official, I forgot to ask for my wife, I have a very comfortable life these days, right?" ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled, only confused, Lin Saiyu pulled out a beautifully made embroidered handkerchief from the cuff, and said, "Where are you from?" It should be both entrained and not concealed. ”

Liu Xiaohu said suddenly: "It turns out that you took it, I said why can't I find it," said with a smile, "It's okay if you take it, I just want to give it to you." ”

Lin Saiyu looked incredulous, shook Juan Pa in her hand, she had secretly seen it several times, it was the craftsmanship of the little maid Ah Yuan who had been praised by Zhang's family, she was shocked and scared when she first found out, but it was as if she had a personal affair, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and tortured herself for a few days, especially when Liu Xiaohu returned late at night, she hid outside the study and saw that the little maid actually came to bring soup to Liu Xiaohu, so scared that she fell and ran back to the room in pain, in a trance, Liu Xiaohu came in with the soup, Calling her up to eat supper, since then night and night, she was surprised and puzzled, but her heart unconsciously settled down, feeling that things were not as bad as she imagined, and she took the opportunity to ask today with confidence.

"Lady, I didn't accept it originally, but then I thought you were coming to Beijing, and it was indispensable to usher in gifts, your craftsmanship hehe... I took it, and it made my mother easier. Liu Xiaohu said with a smile, and was bounced by Lin Saiyu's raised hand.

"What's wrong with my craft?" Lindsay Yu said angrily, "I've also made shoes for you." ”

Liu Xiaohu looked at her as if she was angry and happy, and her delicate and lovely heart was moved for a while, and she hugged and begged Huan, Lindsay Yu was startled, blushed, and was tearing the door of the room creaky and was pushed open, and a pretty voice said: "Little Liu Xianggong, Ah Yuan has brought you food." ”

The little couple didn't watch out, Lin Saiyu was being moved by Liu Xiaohu's rubbing, and was suddenly frightened, and fell off the bed, Liu Xiaohu couldn't help but laugh and wanted to pull her, but Lin Saiyu waved his hand and pushed him away, signaling him to go out quickly, the little girl definitely dared to break into the bedroom.

watched Liu Xiaohu walk out with a smile, hurriedly tidying up his clothes, and heard Liu Xiaohu say outside: "There is Sister Lao." ”

"Yes, the little minister works hard for the people day and night, but he can't be tired, Ah Yuan can't help with anything else, but he is good at boiling some soup." The little girl said playfully, accompanied by the crisp sound of the bowl and spoon, "Little Xianggong, you eat it quickly, this lotus leaf cake will not taste good when it is cold." ”

"I, I'll do it myself." Liu Xiaohu's voice came in a little disdain, making Lindsay Yu's hand in the hairpin tremble, the hairpin was crooked, good guy, get started, walked out in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Ah Yuan is here." ”

Seeing that the little maid wearing a red silk cardigan and a blue silk skirt was stunned when she heard the voice, her small mouth pouted slightly, put down the bowl and spoon held in Liu Xiaohu's mouth, and said, "Madam." ”

Lin Saiyu nodded with a smile, seeing that Ah Yuan couldn't help but peek at himself, his expression changed uncertainly, as if he wanted to say something and stopped, and retreated in half a moment, Liu Xiaohu took a few steps over and closed the door, waved his hand at Lin Saiyu and said: "Look, look, but your favorite lotus leaf cake, silver silk fish soup." ”

Lin Saiyu thinks this thing is angry and funny, whose husband sells his hue to find food for his wife?

"I used to be really hungry, I came back late, it's not good for people to do it, I can only be hungry, so Ah Yuan sent it over, I really can't help but not eat, lady, I swear, it's really for food, not for people, now that you're here, I know you're delicious, and we can't refuse... Liu Xiaohu said with a smile while feeding her with a spoon.

Lin Saiyu bit his finger and said vaguely, "What do you call me delicious?" How did I taste good? ”

Liu Xiaohu was bitten by her, oops, put down the bowl with the other hand, took her into his arms, and kissed the little earlobe all the way, Lin Saiyu was trembling, and finally took into account the day and pushed him away and ran out, ignoring Liu Xiaohu stomping his feet behind him, and ran out of the yard with a smile, and came to the garden of the Shen family, and took care of the water in the pond. Picking up the flower tiles and looking at the other side of the garden, he walked over and said with a smile: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

Ying'er turned around and made a false noise, pulled her over and pressed her against the wall, and whispered, "Madam, look." ”
