The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was not convinced, and scolded in a low voice, "Hmph, old stubborn, you are afraid that you will not be able to come out, and you will not allow us to speak?" ”

Several of his protégés and officials gathered over and persuaded one after another.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be angry, the emperor is definitely going to make a prince, it's just a matter of time."

"That's right, sir. We are also for the inheritance of Tianwu, even if we are anxious, we have a clear conscience. ”

The rest of the courtiers saw it and walked out silently.

The noisy election of the prince came to an end.

Those who have been excerpted are sure that the emperor will adopt them, and they have already sat on the dream of being promoted to become rich in advance.

If you don't have a fold, you will suffer from gains and losses, regret it for a while, and persuade yourself to go with the flow for a while, and the tangled meals will not be fragrant.

However, in the imperial study, the emperor rubbed his aching temples, took a sip of strong tea, and then picked up the list at hand.

The list is full of three pages, and the names on the first page are marked in red, and these are the families and courtiers who began to tie up with the concubine and the second prince early on, and completely stood in line.

The second page is the one that has only recently started to act, commonly known as the wall grass, and it followed the limelight to the second prince.

There are only seven or eight courtiers' names on the third page, and they are indeed loyal, and for the sake of Tianwu, they feel that it is advantageous to establish the prince early. And he only got on the fold, and he didn't contact the concubine and the second prince in private, seeking benefits for himself and his family.

The emperor read it carefully, added a few more words, and then said, "Come on, this list will be sent to Xilong Pavilion." ”

Mr. Yi stood not far from the table, but hung his head, as if he hadn't heard.

At this time, an old eunuch in gray clothes suddenly appeared in the corner of the house, stepped forward to take the list with both hands, and then saluted respectfully, and retreated to the corner of the house without movement.

The emperor drank all the tea in his hand, thought about it, and called out to Manager Yi again, "I don't have any taste in my mouth, and my heart is also panicked." You go to Zhilan Palace to see what snacks those two girls baked today, and bring me a box back. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The old slave is going! Perhaps, the princess and the county lord are opening jasper melons, and the old slave can still follow to satisfy their hunger! Mr. Yi smiled in response, looking like he was about to drool, and the emperor also laughed.

"Okay, you go to Zhilan Palace to eat to your heart's content, and you don't have to worry about those jasper melons every day."

Manager Yi smiled and took a few steps back, and when he walked out of the door, his face changed, and he took two little eunuchs and quickly rushed to Zhilan Palace.

In the Zhilan Palace, several little palace maids are fetching water and watering the flowers, and the small wooden kettle is evenly sprinkled with strings of water droplets, falling on the green leaves and petals, and the air is filled with a faint earthy fragrance, making such a hot noon seem to be a little cooler.

Under the eaves of the corridor, two rocking chairs were placed, and the third princess and Jiayin occupied one by one, and while talking, they sent ice cubes of grapes to their mouths, which was extremely comfortable.

Caiyun and Shui Ling sat on a small stool, dividing colored silk threads, intending to weave a few strings.

The silk threads are all leftover from the dumplings, and they are also considered to be used to the fullest.

During the Dragon Boat Festival before, Jiayin deliberately went back to Shajin Beach and took the women in the village to wrap a lot of zongzi and distribute them to the villagers in several villages.

As for the zongzi gift boxes with each family, they are all from the white clouds, which is very worry-free.

And here in the palace, Jiayin only brought Shui Yun to wrap so many dozens of ordinary zongzi to meet the situation.

At noon yesterday, when the third princess saw the rice cakes on the plate, she suddenly remembered that she wanted to eat zongzi, especially the bean paste filling and egg yolk filling.

These two workmanship are more complicated, and Jiayin is lazy, so I haven't prepared at all this year.

In the past few days, Jiayin has also been a little irritable, thinking about Mu Jue, who is far away, not to mention, the emperor's poisoning is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and he doesn't know when it will fall.

Everyone is under the sword, and no one dares to say that they will not be hurt.

Although grandma, mother-in-law and others were sent to Quanzhou, almost all of my brothers were no longer in Xindu.

But the second uncle, the third uncle, Brother Jiahuan, Brother Mao, and Mr. Wen, and even the Liu family and the Jia family are all relatives, and she can't bear to hurt anyone.

This anxiety makes her unable to eat well or sleep well.

It is like a bird that knows that a storm is coming, but it is powerless to fight back, and there is nowhere to hide......

At this time, the third prince mainly eats zongzi, which is also a good thing, and he has no time to think about it when he is busy.

So, last night I soaked Jiangmi and prepared the ingredients, and this morning Jiayin took Shui Yun Ma Li to wrap 100 zongzi, tied with different colors of silk threads, used to distinguish the filling.

At this moment, the smell of fragrance was already coming from the stove.

At this time, Mr. Yi stepped into the threshold of Zhilan Palace.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's better to come early, it's better to come at a good time!" I don't know what delicious food the princess and the county lord are thinking about, but the old slave is blessed! ”

The third princess and Jiayin both got up and beckoned him to sit together under the eaves.

The third princess was worried about her father, and asked carefully about her father's work and food.

Mr. Yi answered all questions, which made the third princess feel relieved.

At this time, Shui Ling ran to the stove and came out with a few boiled zongzi.

Everyone washed their hands and ate zongzi together.

Mr. Yi smiled and held a salted egg yolk, satisfying to eat in one bite.

Jiayin wanted to peel one for him, but he waved his hand and said with a smile, "The old slave is old, and he doesn't dare to eat too much, if he doesn't restrain himself, he will suffer." Thank you, Lord Shire! For such a delicious zongzi, one is enough. ”

After that, he glanced at the surroundings and there were no others, Shui Ling and Caiyun were trustworthy, so he said, "The emperor has a bad appetite today, send the old slave over to take a look, if the princess and the county lord bake any good snacks, bring back a box for the emperor."

"Where did you think that the county lord wrapped zongzi. Then reward the old slave a few more, and let the old slave pay the errand? ”

Of course, Jiayin responded immediately, and the third princess was also happy and packed zongzi for her father with her own hands.

Taking advantage of this gap, Manager Yi gossiped with Jiayin again, "County Lord, I heard that you and the princess played cards late last night?" The little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are all looking forward to going to Zhilan Palace on errands, and they all say that Zhilan Palace eats well, the master is kind, and the days are lively. But staying up late is not good for the skin, so let's go to bed early tonight. ”

Jiayin's pupils shrank, and the next moment he already smiled and responded, "Okay, manager." We were idle last night, so we had a little more fun. Tonight will definitely close the door and go to bed early. ”

Manager Yi smiled and nodded, "The county lord is smart. ”

Jia Yin reluctantly pressed the wildly beating chest, and called Shui Ling to fetch a jasper melon.

"Chief, jasper melon quenches your thirst, but it's cold, it's best not to eat more."

"Oh, thank you Lord for the reward. The old slave wrote it down! Mr. Yi thanked him happily, sat down for a while and then retired with his things.

The third princess was a little excited and shouted, "We only sent a few zongzi, what if my father doesn't like it?" Why don't you go out of the palace and go to Baiyunjian to take a trip and pick up some more ready-made snacks and come back? ”

Jiayin hurriedly stopped, "Forget it, you don't look at how big the sun is overhead!" When we go out at this time and come back, we are afraid that the sun will be darker than charcoal, and we will not be able to raise it for a year or two. When you want to get married, just go out as a blackface bride! ”
