Chapter 206
Qiankun Palace.
Because Long Live Lord has been in a bad mood recently, and all the people who send soup and snacks are gone, so there are many fewer palace maids waiting outside the Qiankun Palace, and the eunuchs guarding the door also have fewer opportunities to show their majesty to the palace maids and receive benefits.
Today, when Chang Xi, who was on duty, saw a palace maid trotting over, he was happy in his heart, and was about to preach to her - the emperor is busy! What kind of identity and status do you have, don't see you! Give the silver and don't pass the word!
Unless it's given extraordinarily.
Concubine Zhang Xian, Lu Ronghua, Guo Xiaoyi and Ma Ronghua belong to the ones who give a lot.
"Father-in-law Changxi, this is a dish made by Concubine Shu's mother, can you send it to the emperor? By the way, it is said that Concubine Shu wants to be the emperor. ”
“……”
As soon as he heard the word concubine, Chang Xi withered.
O concubine's palace maid! Not only should you not extort benefits, but you must also be careful to serve.
Usually the emperor is in a bad mood, the people in front of the emperor are difficult, and if you want to move the rescue soldiers, you can only move the concubine to come, and then stop the dishes made by the concubine herself, and you don't need the concubine to complain, the emperor has nothing to ask.
Thinking so, Chang Xi smiled as if he had received a reward of a thousand taels:
"Miss Pillow Qiu, don't say that, what can you do, this is the duty of being a slave, take it quickly, the lady concubine can't let it cool ...... with her own hands"
There are many concubines in the harem who say that they wash their hands and make soup to show their sincerity, and it is good to be able to follow me to the kitchen for a few words, and they will not be in charge of the spoon themselves. That's it, it's already very touching - the kitchen has a big fire, where can the delicate and expensive masters stay.
"Ouch, this soup is so heavy, even I have a little hard time holding it, and Miss Qiu has sent it all the way...... What soup did the lady make? ”
Pillow Qiu said that it was not soup inside.
Chang Xi: "What's that?" ”
Pillow Qiu's face was embarrassed: "It's the Buddha jumping over the wall made by Niangniang." ”
Chang Xi immediately calmed down.
Even in the imperial dining room, Buddha jumping over the wall is an out-and-out dish, it takes a lot of effort and time, to process all kinds of ingredients in advance, and then slowly boil, there is no pressure cooker in ancient times, only people can keep the firewood burning, keep the same fire.
Of course, in the palace, manpower is not a thing.
But the harem concubines sent food to the emperor, and all they sent were light food, such as dim sum or stewed soup, which was light and trouble-free...... How can you send a big dish? What does this have to do with roasting whole sheep? How will Your Majesty eat!?
"This ...... The minions will be sent in. ”
Outside the corridor in the Qiankun Palace, there is a long case.
There are four small and delicate soup cups and food boxes on the table, and Chang Xi put the Buddha jumping over the wall sent by Concubine Shu to the side, and this behemoth compared the four soup cups next to him as weak and pitiful and helpless.
Seeing this, Liang Yuyin wondered: "It's not time to eat yet." ”
"This is the Buddha jumping over the wall that the lady gave to the emperor."
“……”
In this Qiankun Palace, there is another person who is speechless because of Jiang Xian.
Liang Yuyin bowed down and passed the word through the door, not surprisingly, when the emperor heard that it was the food sent by Concubine Shu, before he could speak, the smile had already dyed his eyes, so that the face of the king of Hades, who was cold to the court, softened in an instant: "Take it in, it's rare for her to bring me soup, why is no one there?" You go and pass the concubine to accompany you. ”
Shecher was particularly confident.
Bring him soup, I must miss him.
"Yes."
For a moment, Xie Che saw Liang Yuyin trembling and coming in with a behemoth.
Xie Che: "What kind of soup did she stew, Lady Lady?" ”
Liang Yuyin: "If you go back to the emperor, it is the Buddha jumping over the wall made by the lady concubine herself." ”
Hearing this, Xie Che was also silent for a moment.
It's just that soon, it was still the love brain that prevailed, and he ordered: "Carry another long case...... That's it, this is not a place to eat, let's pass the meal in advance," he paused, and his heart was playful: "You go and check whether this Buddha jumping over the wall is really made by Concubine Shu herself." ”
Xie Che didn't think that this was really Jiang Xian's own hand.
But he didn't intend to blame her for this, just teasing her - he felt that Concubine Shu also had the intention of joking with him, otherwise how could he send a cup of Buddha to jump over the wall?
This matter is easy to investigate, Bihua Palace only guards against other concubines, not the emperor. Jiang Xian never cared about the eyeliner that the emperor had planted in Bihua Palace, and she didn't see anything unsightly, saving the suspicious emperor from guessing.
The results were beyond Xie Che's expectations.
This Buddha jumped over the wall, and it was really made by Concubine Shu herself.
Of course, the matter of watching the fire is still done by the eunuch, after all, if you have to stay by for four hours and just stare at the fire, it is not called a roll, it is called a waste of time. But the ingredient handling, stewing and seasoning are all handled by her, and no one else interferes.
So Xie Che couldn't help but worry.
One is worried about the smell of this Buddha jumping over the wall, whether it will be too difficult to swallow
The second is that he is worried that Xian'er will put forward a request that he can't meet, so he put up this dragon gate array.
After a while, Concubine Shu arrived at Qiankun Palace in a hurry.
——
Jiang Xian entered all the way unimpeded, Xie Che saw her, and without waiting for her to salute, he personally helped her up, held her pair of soft wattles, and scolded her affectionately: "Letting such a beautiful pair of hands wash their hands and make soup, it is simply a matter of boiling a crane and burning a qin...... Why do you suddenly want to cook? ”
Jiang Xian thought for a moment.
After just two seconds of hesitation, Xie Che could see that she was making up words: "Don't make up words to coax me, I have to listen to the truth." ”
No matter how top an actor is, it is difficult to disguise the person next to him perfectly for ten years.
And as the emperor's years of experience have grown, Xie Che's vision of people has become more accurate than before, and under the advantages of one another, he can easily see the clues that Jiang Xian began to draw a big pie for the boss.
"To be honest, I feel like I've been too lazy lately."
Shecher: ?
The emperor was really speechless this time.
Xie Che: "The entire harem can describe themselves with this word, but you can't." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xian sighed shallowly.
In the previous life, the company adopted the "last elimination system", even if the employee's performance is qualified, as long as it is the last 5% of the overall employee, he will be transferred, demoted, reduced or fired. Everyone is very curly, and it is invisibly compared with others.
But what kind of slow-paced life is this harem!
Preparation of mixed qualifications and other promotions, not seeking merit but no fault, in this atmosphere, Jiang Xian can only compare with herself.
The earlier concubine took the concubine as an example, but it turned out that the concubine was the winner.
After many things were tossed, the mainstream voice of the harem gradually became envious of Concubine Zhang Xian and Chen Guiren, although they were not favored and rich, they were also stable and plain.
"What's the use of comparing yourself to others? I want to compare with myself, what other concubines do, I want to do, and what other concubines can't do, I have to do. ”
Jiang Xian raised her little face and looked at him firmly: "Your Majesty, how can I be more valued by you?" How can I make you happy? ”
What else does the boss have to do!
Just tell her!
Doing Buddha jumping over the wall is a good example of nothing to do, don't care if the boss loves to eat or not, it is troublesome to do, a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall is particularly large, it belongs to the mind and good effect, and the calculating workers will never do useless work.
“……”
What Jiang Xian didn't know was that she was staring up, and her eyes were full of feelings about how to please herself......
It's a bit of a top.
Xie Che was stared at for a while, and finally couldn't help but start again: "You are already very valued by me, and I am ...... now Be tickled pink. ”
Jiang Xian was even more dazed now.
She hasn't done anything yet.
Shecher helped her to sit down and let her lean into his arms.
"Since Zhao'er was born, I have accompanied you to watch the changes of the four seasons, have you found what you like to do?"
Jiang Xian had a big head as soon as she heard a similar question.
The emperor is good for everything else, but he always wants her to pursue the meaning of life.
It was a luxury for a migrant worker, and she now has money and leisure, but she can't find it all over the place - she wants her children to be safe and happy, but that is not her dream, they have their own future to fight for, and she will try her best to clear the way for them, and that is her responsibility as a mother rather than an ideal.
Seeing her embarrassed face, Xie Che knew that he had not yet succeeded: "It doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time, first rule it out...... Xian'er, you don't like cooking, do you? ”
"It's not annoying."
"That's not if you don't like it," Xie Che sighed: "I'm so bored that I have to work delivering soup, it seems that there is nothing you want to do in the harem, it doesn't matter, let's see if there are other places that you are interested in." ”
After that day, the emperor issued a decree to search for women or women with strengths in the world.
As long as you have a skill, you can enter the palace and get together with the concubine.
Of course, in order to protect the woman's reputation, under the age of 30 is not allowed to stay in the palace, and lives in a uniformly arranged green glazed tile house, the rules are looser than the harem, and it does not belong to the inner court.
This move caused some criticism in the previous dynasty.
But Xie Che is no longer the new emperor who has just ascended the throne, and after rounds of purging, he has the right to speak like the previous emperor in the previous dynasty. The world only knows that the concubine is different from ordinary women, she is sensitive and studious, but she is not good at poetry or painting, she is well-versed in history and has economic talents.
In the past, there were favored concubines and favored harems, but at most, other concubines were oppressed.
The concubine was favored, but even the courtiers were affected.
For no other reason, with the help of top special assistants, since Concubine Rong fell out of favor, the number of emperors approving excerpts and issuing orders has tripled.
You must know that Xie Che was originally a very diligent emperor.
After Jiang Xian was busy for half a month, she felt that as a senior assistant, she should have subordinates. But Xie Che didn't want other female officials to be by his side, and he provoked the courtiers to criticize him, and according to Yan Chi's old rules, eunuchs couldn't read and write......
In the end, Jiang Xian really thought of a way.
So after leaving school, Zhao'er didn't have to go to the Shufei brand cram school, and went to his father's Qiankun Palace part-time job.
Originally, the second prince also had this opportunity.
Although Xie Che felt that he was three years old and Sheng'er was not a candidate for succession, he did not despise the second son, but tried every means to let him find the errand he wanted to do in the future - let all he learn to serve Yan Chi, how could he only compete for the throne?
Interest is the best sir.
Whether it is leading troops to fight, building water conservancy or going to Dali Temple to solve cases, as long as Sheng'er is interested, he can be cultivated.
Xie Che knew that he was too busy with government affairs to take good care of every child, but at least he would give them a chance to compete on an equal footing and choose on an equal footing.
The second prince retreated from this opportunity, Guo Xiaoyi urged him to beat him, but he didn't listen.
Xie Sheng, who has grown taller, is no longer as thin and weak as when he was a child, Guo Xiaoyi hopes that he will be as assertive as a man, and he has done this - it's just that his assertiveness is very determined not to work and lie flat and live a flat life.
The emperor was both pity and helplessness for him.
However, the third prince Xie Qi, who has been the follower of his two elder brothers since he was a child, Ma Ronghua only begged him to grow up safely, and he could support him if he didn't die young. The Ma family was originally attached to the Rong family, but the Rong family fell, and his family lost its backer, and Ma Ronghua didn't dare to think too much.
——
Jiang has been in the palace for 12 years.
Xie Che fulfilled his promise, since he said that there was no matter of Jiang Xian's interest in the harem that he was in the harem that day, he not only recruited female Qing guests for her, but also let her be by her side at all times, and did not avoid her in discussing politics, and six documents were open to her.
The two emperors and concubines worked all year round, and they made the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty miserable.
One of the emperor's favorite words is: "Concubine Shu has not yet spoken, Aiqing often says that she has insufficient physical and mental strength, and she is afraid that she will laugh with me." ”
Isn't it impeachment only for women's words, and for women to steal power and mess with the government?
Doesn't it mean that a woman is too weak to be of great use?
Why can't you roll up a woman?
On staying up late to burst the liver, ancient people really don't necessarily lose to modern people, think about the need to get up at two o'clock in the morning to prepare for the court, and when you get to the palace gate, you have to queue up, and you have to be late.
The problem is only that Jiang Xian is the most capable group of modern people.
Now with the blessing of the system, it is like a tiger with wings.
The civil and military officials were so embarrassed by ridicule that they had to roll up their sleeves and follow the book.
said that the good face misled the country, and the emperor was so confused that he had no psychological politics...... How is it different from what you imagined?
This is not quite what Xie Che imagined.
His beloved concubine faced with a steady stream of work, as if she had an inexhaustible vitality, sitting in the Qiankun Palace every day, her face was radiant and compelling, Xie Che often had a stomach full of words to tell her, and she looked at her with a smile and forgot about it.
He couldn't help but be annoyed: "I failed to change you, but you changed me." ”
"Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous, I have been changed a lot."
At least, in her previous life, she never thought that she could have material comfort, even if the annual salary is high, she has a strong sense of "unworthy" - she wants to save all her income and improve her ability to resist risks.
It was the emperor who sent the good things in the car to her and urged her to use them.
The imperial meal is indeed delicious, good clothes and quilts are comfortable to use, and the spacious and bright room is also decorated with a sense of home.
[Accompany for an hour, Gongdou points +10]
[Let the emperor reprimand the important ministers for you, palace fighting points +30]
Because there is no wind and no waves in the harem, the large amount of points that Jiang Xian can get every three years is only the draft.
[Under the premise of the host's favor, the emperor did not choose one person to enter the palace during the draft, and the palace fight points +1000]
Since the emperor and Concubine Rong broke off their relationship, there have been no new concubines in the harem.
The sign was left during the draft, which was also to give the clan a marriage.
This point, although he can laugh at the thousand palace fighting points, it was not proposed by Jiang Xian, and he never mentioned it, it was Xie Che's natural action.
When the courtier asked, he was too lazy to deal with it, so when Xie Wang Ye asked, he replied seriously: "I already have three healthy princes, and the heirs of the Xie family have never been abundant, and I am very satisfied, I just want to put my mind on the government and politics, that is, to recruit new people, and I don't have time to pamper them, but I feel like suffering." ”
"Every three years, I can take the most beautiful young girl into the palm of my hand, but the emperor says that I am guilty?"
"You don't understand,"
Xie Che snorted, and was actually full of ambition when he spoke: "If you really like a woman, going to someone else's palace is to suffer." ”
“……”
Xie Wangye, he really doesn't envy at all.
