In the early morning of the next day, Song Xuan, who had been comfortable in the middle of the night, got up and washed up.

Zhou Zhiruo led two palace maids to put on a dragon robe for His Majesty the Emperor.

During this period, a rather delicate palace maid secretly touched Song Xuan's chest when she was serving him to dress, and her eyes were full of joy.

This scene naturally couldn't be hidden from Zhou Zhiruo, but she didn't say anything.

Even if you want to show the majesty of the empress, it is not appropriate to be in front of the emperor at this moment.

After Song Xuan finished wearing a black dragon robe, he turned his head to look at the palace maid and said, "I remember that on the day you were canonized as the queen, you were already staying by the queen's side to serve, right?" ”

When the palace maid heard this, her heart jumped, and her breathing became a little shorter.

This is the first time that His Majesty has taken the initiative to talk to a palace maid, and her actions just now have already attracted His Majesty's attention?

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is the personal maid of the queen's mother, named Xue'er."

"Xue'er....." Song Xuan nodded calmly, and said, "How old is this year?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid entered the palace at the age of five, and now she is exactly twenty-eight years old."

"Entered the palace at the age of five?"

Song Xuan frowned, the Qianyuan royal family is really not a thing!

Song Xuan turned his head to look at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "She is not too young, she can get married." After all, I will serve you, you can have a snack on this matter, and find her a good family to marry! ”

This kind of restless palace maid, continuing to stay in the palace will only be a hidden danger, it is better to get out as soon as possible.

"Husband, the concubine knows!" Zhou Zhiruo took Xue'er's hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this palace will definitely find you a wishful husband!" ”

Xue'er's face was pale, and she barely showed a hint of a smile, but no matter how she looked at it, laughing was worse than crying.

On the side, another slightly older palace maid glanced at the pale Xue'er, lowered her head and laughed.

The little girl, without looking at what her identity is, dares to hook up with the emperor in front of the queen's mother, can she really rise to prominence with a little cleverness?

Walking out of the door, there were eunuchs waiting outside the door for a long time, and when they saw His Majesty and the queen going out, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, there is still some time before the last court, do you want to use some imperial food first?"

Since Song Xuan postponed the time of the previous dynasty by an hour, the whole person felt that time was relaxed, and he smiled at the moment: "It's okay!" ”

As he spoke, the husband and wife walked around the palace holding hands, and before they knew it, they came to the imperial dining room.

The eunuchs in the imperial dining room should have already learned the news that His Majesty was coming, and after Song Xuan and Zhou Zhiruo were seated, soon the imperial meals were brought up, and soon, the spacious table was filled.

Song Xuan quietly looked at the table full of dishes, and suddenly lost his appetite.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo immediately stared at the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room and reprimanded: "It's just to eat some breakfast, why be so extravagant and wasteful?" ”

The chief eunuch was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Hui Niangniang, it's not a slave and maid extravagance, it's really the rules of the ancestors that have been passed down like this!" ”

Song Xuan sat majestically on the chair, looked down at the kneeling eunuch, and said, "The rules of the ancestors, whose ancestors?" ”

"This ......"

The eunuch, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room, was horrified and kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are guilty!" ”

Song Xuan didn't speak, but drank a bowl of porridge by himself, and then said, "Get up, distribute these dishes to the people below, don't waste them."

Also, when it comes to rules, I will make rules today. In the future, the emperors of our Wu Dynasty, unless there are special circumstances, normal meals will be made according to the standard of four dishes and one soup! ”

"The slave has written it down!" The chief eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked his face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is diligent and thrifty, and is compassionate to your subordinates, which is really a blessing for the people through the ages!" ”

"I know all this, I don't need you to shoot it!"

As he spoke, he pinched Zhou Zhiruo's almost weak and boneless slender palm, and said, "Let's go, it's almost time, it's time to go to the court." ”

Leaving the imperial dining room, Song Xuan did not take a sedan chair, but walked around the imperial garden first, and then walked towards the Taiji Palace.

"Husband, I thought you were going to kill someone just now!"

Song Xuan smiled: "What, I'm so like a murderer?" ”

"When the strength is insufficient, you need to kill people, and I don't have this need now!"

If the founding emperor can't control the scene in his own palace, and he still needs to rely on killing people to establish his authority, then he, the emperor, can be regarded as the leader.

"As long as the people under your hands are doing things, there is always the possibility of mistakes. As a superior person, you must be able to tolerate their mistakes, and also give them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. ”

Zhou Zhiruo seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "Master told me before that the superior should maintain his majesty, and he should be beaten and scolded, and if he is too friendly, the people below will lose their awe.

What you said is not quite what my master said. ”

Song Xuan smiled, pinched Zhou Zhiruo's face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't need to know too much about these things, in short, you can come as comfortable as you want."

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Okay, I'm going to the court, you go back! ”

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely towards the main hall not far away.

Seeing Song Xuan's figure walking away, a female official who followed Zhou Zhiruo asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, shall we go back to Kunning Palace?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo shook his head, and the gentle smile on his face gradually dissipated, becoming a little more stern.

"Call all the people in the harem, today, this palace will teach them what the rules are!"

These days, it seems that she is still too tolerant, which makes the people below lose their awe.

A little palace maid dares to hook up with her own man in front of herself, is she really the head of Wudang, the queen of the Wu Dynasty is a decoration? !

.....

When Song Xuan came to the Taiji Palace, the civil and military officials had already arrived.

"You all came early, have you eaten?"

As soon as you open your mouth, it is an ancient way of greeting that has been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

This kind of extremely down-to-earth topic suddenly made the atmosphere in the court relaxed.

Even Song Lian, the old pedant, smiled and said: "Weichen not only ate, but also had a rare good night's sleep, and his whole body and bones felt much better." ”

Song Xuan nodded with a smile, "State affairs are important, but your Aiqing's body and bones are also important..... Okay, let's not talk about it, do you have a book to play today? ”

Li Shanchang was the first to come out. "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play. Regarding the matter of the imperial examination, after discussing with Lord Liu and Lord Song, he thought that it would be better to separate the north and south.

At least, until the north becomes rich and the overall level of scholars improves, it is not suitable for the unified imperial examination. ”
