Chapter 144: Palace Banquet
Chapter 144
"Niangniang, the food you cook is so delicious, is this how the West eats?" The palace maid who likes to eat is now named Half Moon, she is holding a plate, there is everything in it, and she is eating it heavily.
"I can't stop your mouth when I eat it." Ruwei glanced at her and scooped the pieces of meat for Su Chen.
Ruqiang said: "You guys hurry up and eat, Niangniang has worked so hard to make it, and it will be cold for a while." ”
Su Chen gave the food on his plate to the two little eunuchs on the other side, turned around and said with a smile: "Actually, even in the West, there are clear classes, people don't say respect and inferiority, but class, you are still a lowly profession, and those who claim to be celebrities and the upper class look down on them, but they are more civilized, they are divided into circles, and the way of socializing is much more enlightened than ours, do you want to listen to the story?" ”
She was in a good mood, so she would tell these stories to pass the time, and the time that no one disturbed was really fast, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and it had snowed six or seven times, and it was hourly old, and seven or eight palace ladies slept in two rooms, all of whom were crowded.
Er Qiao said: "Today is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Niangniang, let's ......"
"Are there any dumplings today? Do you want to eat? Su Chen interrupted her.
Knowing too much what she was going to say, Su Chen didn't want to hear it.
"Niangniang, you can't just pass the time by telling us stories of myths and fairy tales, you haven't seen the emperor for two months." Er Qiao insisted on finishing his words: "You haven't been to kindergarten for so long, don't you want children?"
"Did you do it on purpose?" Su Chen looked at her and smiled sarcastically: "It's useless, I've finished teaching you everything, just wait for another snowfall, raise seedlings, and then after the New Year, you all have to go to one Zhuangzi, eight of you, no, ten people, ten Zhuangzi." ”
"Mother's ......"
"Kaichun'er leads those people, raising seedlings, turning over seeds, harvesting in spring, planting vegetables, waiting for autumn, planting again, I want to see the harvest."
Su Chen said, turned around but sighed, Liu hasn't reported her year-end results until now, I'm afraid it's really a loss, right? Pity her dreams, sure enough, everything has to be supported by reality.
Er Qiao suddenly called her again: "Niangniang......"
Su Chen waved his hand impatiently: "I'm done with what I should have said, you still don't go out?" ”
Er Qiao whispered: "No, the emperor is here." ”
Su Chen turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Tengrun.
She blinked a few times and said, "Your Majesty? You're fat. ”
Zhao Tengrun hadn't seen her for two months, and he missed her tightly, but he didn't expect to see her at first glance, and the first thing she said was that he was fat?
He glanced at Jianfu: "I'm fat?" ”
Seeing that Fu followed him every day, where could he see it, but Concubine Xian Niangniang said it, and he couldn't say that Concubine Xian Niangniang was wrong, so he pretended to be confused: "The slave is blind......"
"Look at how you forced Gongfu to blind people." Su Chen smiled.
For a moment, it seemed that spring was blooming, and Zhao Tengrun no longer cared about the environment and atmosphere here, and could only see Su Chen's smiling face.
Seeing that Fuduo had strong eyesight, he immediately waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out, and he quietly closed the door.
Su Chen saw it clearly, took the baked potato from the charcoal basin, and broke it directly: "Does the emperor want to eat this?" ”
The sweet smell suddenly overflowed, and the red and tender gourd had an attractive temperature, which was very beautiful in the white porcelain plate.
Zhao Tengrun's eyes were slightly rough hands holding plates, originally Su Chen's hands were not the kind of white and tender, but slender, but the fingertips exposed at this time were with jagged nails and barbs, he reached out to catch her hand and rubbed it.
Su Chen's hand shook suddenly, and he almost dropped the plate.
Zhao Tengrun took away the plate and put it aside, and directly pulled her into his arms: "Su'er." ”
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then hugged him and said with a smile: "Isn't it?" You've been around for a long time. ”
"You're not like them." Zhao Tengrun tightened his hand: "Didn't you take a bath?" ”
Su Chen almost burst out laughing and pushed him: "I just finished cooking, this is fireworks, but even if you can't smell it, what you say is very commonplace, and it's not in vain that I haven't seen you for more than a month." ”
"I've given them a day off." Zhao Tengrun's tone was full of novelty: "There was no seal for the first time. ”
"That's right, who stipulates that you can't work during the New Year, and who stipulates that you can't rest during normal times? There is a more reasonable arrangement, why stick to the rules? It's awesome to do, reward you with a sweet potato, you taste it, I baked it myself. Su Chen still gave him the sweet potato to eat in the end.
Zhao Tengrun felt sorry for her hard work, but he couldn't say it - this time he was the first to blame, Su Chen didn't mention it, he felt that he could still pass, so he didn't mention it at this time.
If he doesn't mention it, Su Chen naturally won't mention it.
The two of them chatted very peacefully, ate a sweet potato, and then Su Chen opened the door: "The emperor's dragon body is precious, this cold place, it's better to stay less, and after the words are finished, you should go back." ”
As soon as Zhao Tengrun felt that he was an ordinary husband and wife with her, she said this, and her face changed: "Su'er, what do you mean by this?" I'm here to pick you up. ”
"I'm fine here, the yard is spacious, I can tumble around, how good, I don't want to go back."
Su Chen had already thought about it, he couldn't let go no matter what happened at this time, his mind had already been decided, and he wouldn't change it now.
Zhao Tengrun directly grabbed her: "I have let Zhou Anhan return to war after the New Year, and I have closed the net to control the Sun family, everything is fine, I am here to pick you up." ”
"Do you owe me a reason?" Su Chen didn't break away, but said: "It's really good that I live here, and I also made a car by myself, if the emperor is too far away, you can ride it." ”
"I ......" Zhao Tengrun's choked words were pulled in his throat: "I have named you a concubine, you can't still be in this kind of place!" ”
"When? How did I not know? Su Chen smiled: "That's right, I'm worried about not having enough people, I'm making a manual washing machine, and I'm short of people." ”
Zhao Tengrun frowned slightly: "What is it?" What have you been doing for the past two months? ”
……
Su Chen has done a lot, and it is very hard to improve the quality of life, starting from food, clothing, housing and transportation, which one does not require a lot of manpower and material resources? She also took advantage of her identity, so now for Zhao Tengrun, her mentality has completely changed - Zhao Tengrun is so caring to her, in this case, why don't she take this opportunity to grab everything she wants?
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Zhao Tengrun Jin named Concubine Xian as a noble concubine, announced to the world, and repaired the mausoleum for the Chen family, and posthumously crowned the two generals, which was infinitely glorious for a while.
During the holiday, no one knew the news, and when it came down, all the ministers were shocked, and among the officials in Beijing, they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Sun Ru.
The news that Sun Ru sent to the palace, since the last time he didn't see a reply, it was passed twice, but there was no news, and he also asked to see it, but Concubine Rou asked the palace maids around her to come out and reply, and she couldn't see anyone at all.
He didn't even know anything about Concubine Rou now!
How did he know that the news he sent to the palace was changed by Zhao Tengrun, even if he didn't ask about things, Zhao Tengrun would change it to a question, and the question was sharp, involving privacy, Sun Rouyin seemed to be very angry, and she wouldn't reply at all, even if she returned, she would be intercepted and couldn't be sent out.
"Xiangye, is the emperor's current move really praising the Chen family as a queen?" Wang Rong is face was distressed: "My eldest grandson, there is no mother yet, and there is no news from Concubine Rou?" ”
"The old man doesn't know!" Sun Ru had a headache when she heard this: "Do you think the old man doesn't want to?" But this matter, said in the court, the emperor should not be silent, the current situation of the harem, you have also seen it, this kind of thing, shouldn't you ask Zhou Hou? ”
Wang Rong said: "Shenhou's mansion is also full, Xiangye, don't you always want to watch a Wenhou compete with you, right?" ”
"He has a sister-in-law, a good daughter, and the old man's daughter is not angry." Sun Ru looked at him: "You don't have to be here with the old man, the old man can't help you." ”
He doesn't want to be the eldest son of the emperor now, as long as his daughter is still in the palace, it is much better than giving birth to a child and losing his life.
Wang Rong said again: "Xiangye, I heard that the Liao Dynasty intends to seek peace, and has already sent the letter of state to you." ”
"How did the national credentials come to me?" Sun Ru denied it.
For such a big thing as the national letter, how can he receive it as a prime minister? - At least not on the surface.
Wang Rong saw that he didn't recognize him, so he had to put his eyes on the palace - he and the Zhou Mansion had never been on good terms, and now that this is the case, he might as well go to Su Chen Yanhe, at least Su Chen is still a straight person, and he can give him a good time in life or death.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the imperial city palace banquet.
This palace banquet was arranged by Su Chen, and the dishes were much more exquisite, because the way of presentation was changed, and the dishes were replaced two moments after they came up, so as to keep the table clean and the dishes fresh.
The other arrangements at the palace banquet were all routine, Su Chen had seen the process, copied it, kept it on file, and passed the other copy to various places, indicating the key points.
Zhou Yueqing sat beside her at this time, and sighed very emotionally: "If this was so process before, where would you be so tired, or you are smart." ”
"It's all evolved over thousands of years, and I'm just borrowing it." Su Chen didn't dare to take credit, she stood on the shoulders of giants, she couldn't do more, so she had to benefit the public.
Zhou Yueqing smiled: "No wonder you don't like to be in charge, you are so lazy, but I found out this time, I will ask you to help in the future." ”
Su Chen toasted to her: "I'll only help you optimize your worksheet." ”
Zhou Yueqing raised her glass at the same time, but asked again: "What is a worksheet?" ”
"That's it...... This time, I call that worksheet. Su Chen almost choked: "What kind of wine is this?" I said I wanted wine. ”
"Is it wrong?" Zhou Yueqing hurriedly tasted it: "This is green plum wine." ”
Su Chen put down the cup: "It's good if you drink well, I'll eat vegetables." ”
"The two mothers are chatting very lively."
Someone on the other side suddenly spoke, Su Chen raised his eyes and looked over, but he didn't expect it to be Zhao Lian.
Didn't go to the fiefdom? Su Chen subconsciously looked at Zhao Tengrun.
Zhao Tengrun didn't expect him to suddenly get into trouble, Zhao Lian didn't go out of Beijing because the old prince's health was not very good and he was not suitable for the road, but Zhao Lian started again, he looked at it at a glance, and he was fierce-
