Chapter 286: Re-Palm
Although the pain of losing a child is heart-wrenching, life will always go on, but the intimacy between Li Yuntong and Songtsen Gampo is no longer the same as before, and every time they see each other, they are always alienated and indifferent.
Songtsen Gampo tried a few times but got no response, and slowly faded.
After all, he is the Zampu of Tibet, and he is not good at being a low-lying coaxing person on weekdays.
However, Li Yuntong should have the dignity of Zanmeng, which is no less than before, especially after he punished some minions who were slacking off in Dongyue Palace, although Dongyue Palace is no longer prosperous and lively as before, it is much better than the cold and lonely some time ago, and the flowers and plants have been replanted, and it looks like it has a little vitality.
Another half a year has passed, and in winter, except for the words and expressions that are still faint, on the surface, Li Yuntong's strange appearance can no longer be seen. During the New Year, she followed the advice of the female officials around her, and deliberately wore a more joyful one, wearing a red dress, with a little fat powder on her face, and wearing a crown of Zanmont inlaid with red sapphires in the crow's bun.
Although her spirit has not fully recovered, because she is young after all, she took off her big sweater outside, and she saw that she had high breasts and thin waists, hips and long legs.
Although he had not been close for only a few months, Songtsen Gampo felt as if he had been in it for a few years, and after only a few months, the look between Li Yuntong's eyebrows was already tired.
It's not like when she just came, there always seemed to be longing and expectation in her eyes.
Now she is like an ancient well without waves.
"You're not in good shape, get up." Cai Bangsa put on a motherly appearance, and smiled softly: "Okay, you don't show Zanmeng a seat, turn back, she still has to listen to the palace stewards and arrange the New Year's banquet." β
Saima muttered, "Even if you want Wencheng's sister-in-law to preside over the feed, you don't have to be the shopkeeper of Musa, even if you are not in good spirits, why don't you let Mangsa and them share some of it?" These days, Wencheng's sister-in-law is sick, and those stewards have asked Chizun's sister-in-law, which has caused Chizun's sister-in-law to fall ill, what if Wencheng's sister-in-law is tired again? β
Because Chijia made a big mistake by putting the abandoned Ren Lasso into the palace, but he was worried that convicting her would wipe the face of Gongsong Gongzan, so he just let her practice in the temple and pray for blessings, and the affairs in the inner palace were decided by Chizun, and they only said to the outside world that it was because Zanmeng slipped the fetus after she was pregnant and had been in poor health, so she was presided over by Momeng and did not find out the truth.
Li Yuntong didn't say that he would take back the management of the three palaces and six courtyards, and after asking An, he accompanied him and said to Cai Bang Safu: "Musa talks more with Zampu and the princess, and I am a little in good spirits, so I will retire first." β
When he left, he still didn't even look at Songtsen Gampo.
She had just walked out of Cai Bangsa's courtyard gate, and she saw the little palace maid beside Yun Bi Enzhu running over crying.
This kind of slave who sees the master and doesn't worship is naturally trained by someone, but as a result, Ga Ga cried and twisted to see Li Yuntong and wait to see Li Yuntong, she shed tears before she said anything, "Zanmeng, Zanmeng, please save my wife-"
The lady in her mouth is Yun Bi Enzhu, who was named his wife after giving birth to the grandson of the king.
Seeing that Gaga's mouth was crying and crying, and she couldn't speak, Xia Yu scolded her, "How can you reply to your master?" Have you forgotten all the rules you learned? Speak well and don't cry. β
"What the hell happened to Eun-joo? I can't hear anything when you talk like that. Li Yuntong stopped and looked at Quack.
She has been depressed because of the slippery fetus, and later Yun Bi Enzhu often hugged the king Sun to come to Dongyue Palace, looking at the child's smiling face, she slowly eased up, so Yun Bi Enzhu has a different affection for Yun Bi Enzhu than others.
"Madame suffered from a cold a few days ago, and the slave maid went to the kitchen to stew some nourishing medicinal food for Madame, but there is no good bird's nest in the palace, and they are all broken bird's nests that do not enter the stream."
Although Gaga stopped his tears, he looked aggrieved, "The kitchen lady said that he had urged the steward to buy many times, but the steward of the purchase always forgot to buy, and he went yesterday, and he shirked that you and Momeng were not in good health recently, and he couldn't buy those precious medicinal materials without your words......
"Okay, call the purchasing steward to the flower hall of Dongyue Palace, and I'll ask him." Li Yuntong didn't get angry after listening to Gaga's speech.
Even if this thing is true, Yun Bi Enzhu hasn't asked for anything a few times, and he didn't come to tell him until this time, so he may not have other thoughts.
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, if you listen to it at the same time, it will be clear, and if you listen to it, she will listen to what the person who bought it has to say.
"Xia Yu, you go back to my courtyard, take some good bird's nest and send it to Mrs. Enzhu, and arrange for someone else to stew the medicinal food."
followed Li Yuntong and arranged for someone to say, "Go and call the housekeeper of the kitchen, the grandmother who is in charge of the inner palace to buy it, and call me back to the Dongyue Palace." β
Li Yuntong arranged for a while, and when Dele, the steward in charge of the outside purchase, arrived at the flower hall, she had already finished asking the two grandmothers.
Seeing Deler's respectful salute, Li Yuntong didn't speak, but only looked at him from top to bottom.
Being looked at by Li Yuntong like this, Dele, who had been in charge of the purchase in the Zampu Palace for two generations, only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.
Zanmong looked quite kind, how could this look be like a knife, and it could pierce people's hearts?
Dele couldn't help but stand more respectfully, with a smile on his face, "I don't know what Zanmeng told the little one to come over?" β
Seeing Deler's careful appearance, Li Yuntong said lightly: "I heard from them that the high-grade bird's nests used in this palace have been broken for half a month, and there are still many things that have not been purchased, what's going on?" β
Dele cried out repeatedly, "Hey, Zanmon, this is wronged by the small one, the small one is only responsible for the general entry and exit, and the shopping in the kitchen is in the hands of Asima . β
Asima who was in charge of the procurement in the inner palace said angrily: "Yes, I am in charge of the procurement of the kitchen, but you don't have a general entrance there, what should I give to the kitchen?" β
Dele rolled his eyes and said, "That high-grade bird's nest was only finished yesterday, and the little one is about to buy it today." β
"Hmph-" Li Yuntong sneered, "When will the palace be so diligent and thrifty, living within your means?" Dele, don't think that I have forgotten everything during this time, I have memorized the rules of the palace, and if you buy any item, you will buy it back when there is still a balance of 20%, you are the chief housekeeper in the palace, you will not even forget this old rule!"
Li Yuntong suddenly smiled on his face, and said gently and gently: "However, Dele's steward is old, and it is understandable that he forgot itββ"
Hearing this, Dele breathed a sigh of relief, and the old face smiled more and more like a chrysanthemum, "Hey, yes, yes, when you are old, you are easy to forget things, and the little one will send someone to buy it today." β
"Did you forget?" Li Yuntong seemed a little surprised.
"I forgot, I forgot! Hey, old man! Dele climbed along the pole, and beat his waist with a gesture, and bent forward, making a somewhat rickety appearance that was too tired.
"Old? Then let's take care of it. It's time for you to rest. Li Yuntong's voice suddenly became cold.
"Huh?" Dele came back to his senses and shouted at the top of his voice, "Zanmon, you can't just decide, the little one is the one who served before and after the saddle when the old Zampu was still alive, you can't say that you don't need it, you don't use it, you can't erase the small one for one thing, you can't do this!" β
"It's because you've been a purchasing manager for so many years, and you're the one who waits for Old Zampu, that's why you're going to be retired, and you want to change someone else-" Li Yuntong's voice paused, "If you shorten the master's food and drink, you have to throw it out to feed the dog." β
"It's not that the small ones don't do it, it's not that they procrastinate." Dele lowered his body, nodded and said: "There is no master to speak, the small ones don't dare to buy it, Zanmeng, you don't know, Momeng has also been sick recently, and there are many things in this palace that can't keep up, I didn't tell you, how can the small ones buy these valuable things." β
"You're really good at using chicken feathers as arrows." Li Yuntong stood there with a smile, but his voice brought out a little chill, "It's really a joke, you are the number one steward in the palace, when did you even have to buy some bird's nest and ginseng for the master?" Chuncao, go get the booklet and see what the palace rules say. β
Dele retorted again, "Actually, the small one sent someone to buy it a few days ago, because the merchant who supplied the palace had no goods, and there was no goods, and the small ones couldn't be conjured up!" β
Chuncao happened to come out, and when she heard this, she sneered: "Could it be that all the shops in the city are closed?" The meaning of the chief steward is that if the merchants who supply food to the palace don't send rice, we won't even eat?! β
Dele looked honest, "This is a small thoughtlessness, I thought that Momeng was sick, and you didn't speak, these things may have your considerations, maybe she is thinking about adjusting the supply in the palace to some merchants, I heard that Buchi, who was originally waiting by Zanmon's side, and maybe Zanmeng wanted to use her goods, so she kept dragging it out and didn't buy it." β
There is a meaning of both soft and hard in his words, as if Li Yuntong really replaced him, just to use his own people and want to make profits for himself through Buchi.
Li Yuntong said coldly: "The chief steward is really clever, but you are really right, I haven't been in charge of things in the past two years, and the palace has been a lot slack about my Dongyue Palace, and I was about to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so you hit the knife." Come on, you can take care of the errand with the steward below today, and take care of your old age. β
"Zanmon, Zanmon, you can't, Zampu grew up small...... You can't be harsh on the old slave, you don't need to be old enough, who will dare to do your best for Zampu in the future? "Dele is full of tears, singing and remembering.
"Yo Yo Yo, where is the big steward? Zanmeng is afraid that you will work hard, so he will let you take care of it, so you can let it go, and also give the young people a chance. Asima was annoyed that Delle usually eats and asks for a card, and takes the opportunity to fall into the well.
