When Shen Shiqing came out of the Qianqing Palace with people, she was encountering a group of little eunuchs carrying purple chrysanthemums passing by, she stopped and looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Those purple robes and gold belts are good, plus a few elegant ones, ten thousand books or Linggen Ju* are good, send them to a few scholars."

A chicken hurriedly responded, and said with a smile: "Before Jiangnan entered some chrysanthemum patterns, longevity pattern of the palace brocade, the slave maid thinks that the beauty is beautiful, if you reward a few pavilion elders will be less elegant, the emperor, you have added these chrysanthemums of famous books, but it is more lined with the style of several pavilion elders." ”

Shen Shiqing glanced back at the big eunuch, and couldn't help but admire in her heart, she said casually that these eunuchs can't praise her to the sky, Emperor Zhaode lives in such flattery every day, and he has not become a self-righteous madman, he is already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue.

She didn't know that Yiji's words were sincere.

Since the emperor of his family rewarded the tribute silk to the body of Zhang Qi's family, the silk rewarded by the palace has some taboos, and in the past few days, his children and grandchildren have sent rewards to the nobles everywhere as usual, and they dare not put the silk and satin and other things at the beginning to say, for fear that which lord will lead the reward well but plant it. Yiji himself knows, thinking about their emperor's consistent reckless behavior, it is really no wonder that those who are attentive regard the "tribute silk" as "taking people's heads". Now that the emperor has given chrysanthemums to several cabinet elders to show mercy, the courtiers will probably be able to spend the Double Ninth Festival in peace.

Shen Shiqing walked down the steps made of white marble, and then passed through the red pillar corridor, behind him, a chicken and three cats, two big eunuchs with more than a dozen little eunuchs holding honor guards and waiting for them.

The little eunuchs walked softly, almost silently following her.

Stop and go all the way, there are chrysanthemums everywhere, in addition to the "flower mountain" that is more than zhang high on both sides in front of the Qianqing Palace, between the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, the auspicious figure of Luan Feng Chengxiang is spelled out with all kinds of chrysanthemums.

When Shen Shiqing was standing behind the Qianqing Palace to enjoy the flowers, he was lifted out of the West Sixth Palace with a raised shoulder.

She was condescending and saw a woman wearing a crown and a golden veil on her shoulder.

The three cats came up, bowed down and whispered: "Emperor, that's the eldest princess of Yueqing, I came to the palace today to see the queen's mother, if you want to talk to her, the slave maid invited her up." ”

"No need, go to Changchun Palace and say, I will go to Changchun Palace for dinner tonight."

"Yes."

"Since there are chrysanthemums everywhere, just eat a chrysanthemum pot, remove the chicken soup to the oil to make the bottom of the pot, and there is a charcoal stove below, the chicken breast is hammered loose, the shrimp is peeled and the back is opened, and the pork loin is cut into thin slices, and the salt and egg white are slightly seasoned and plated, and then the white chrysanthemums are picked and washed and served together with the bottom of the pot."

The three cats hated that their heads were full of ears, so that they could hear and write down everything the emperor commanded.

After listening to it and pondering it again in his heart, he smiled and said: "It is worthy of the way the emperor came up with a way to eat, it is very delicious when I hear it, and the slave maid's saliva is going to flow down, but unfortunately there are no chrysanthemums in June and July, otherwise the slave and maid must use anchovies to make a chrysanthemum pot for the emperor." ”

Hearing the word "anchovy", Shen Shiqing frowned slightly. The kings of the Dayong Dynasty all took the anchovy as the sacrifice of the Taimiao Temple in July, and the fishermen along the Yangtze River had to catch the anchovy and hand it in in April and May every year, and after the anchovy was salted, it was necessary to put it on a boat full of ice all the way north, and the ice should be added to change the ice at every place along the way, so that the anchovy could be sent to Yanjing before July.

The folk call this way of making offerings to the people is called "anchovian offerings".

"What's so good about anchovy that has been on the road for a month?"

Hearing the emperor say this, the three cats were taken aback.

"Emperor, Emperor?"

"Emperor Zhaode" looked at the pile of flowers under the high platform, and his fingers under the sleeves of his robe rubbed gently.

This is Shen Shiqing's action when she mixes the pigment, and she has used this method to clear her mind for the past seven years.

Anchovy tribute is a rule that the emperors of the Dayong Dynasty have abided by, and she suddenly abolished it at this time, and someone must have jumped out to stop it, how could those courtiers not know that the road to the north of the anchovy cost the people and money? But if an emperor said that this item would be exempted, they would immediately cite a memorial arch with the words "ancestral family law" written on it.

She's seen too many things like this these days.

Shen Shiqing even somewhat understood the rumored "Emperor Zhaode" with a repetitive temperament, if you want to do something by reasoning, you need great determination and perseverance, if you don't be reasonable, it will be easier.

Moody and capricious, it is probably also his way of fighting wits and courage with his courtiers.

"If you want to eat fresh anchovies, should you go to the banks of the Yangtze River?"

She asked the eunuchs around her.

There was silence all around, only the sound of the cold wind blowing the chrysanthemum petals, and a few petals were blown down from the wings of the phoenix by the wind and fluttered to the sky.

A chicken and three cats fell to their knees.

Scared.

Knowing that this sentence would definitely reach the ears of the courtiers, Shen Shiqing smiled and turned to leave.

At dinner, Lin Miaozhen soaked a piece of dried chicken in the chrysanthemum pot, and said with a smile: "I advised you to eat more light before, but you refused, but now you have finally changed it." ”

Shen Shiqing's face was gentle, and he dipped the boiled shrimp in the soy sauce plate: "I read some miscellaneous books, these are all from the books." ”

"That's not bad either." Lin Miaozhen still smiled, and said casually: "This year, the Shangshi Bureau has made the flower cake look better and taste sweeter, fortunately there is this chrysanthemum pot of yours." ”

"If you think it's too sweet, let's talk to the Food Bureau."

"That's it." Lin Miaozhen waved her hand, "There are not many times when the palace distributes snacks, and those little palace maids and eunuchs have a piece of flower cake that can save a lot, and it is not easy to spoil it if it is made sweet." ”

Eat another bite of the pork slices fished out of the chrysanthemum pot, take off the coat and only wear a long jacket and a horse-faced skirt, the queen lady looks very heroic:

"You just talked about books, today my aunt came to see me, mentioned a woman who is quite good at gold and stone calligraphy and painting, I always thought that it was rare for girls to be like me, but I didn't expect that there are talented women in the world who are rich and rich."

"Ahem."

didn't expect to be suddenly praised by others, Shen Shiqing swallowed the shrimp meat carefully, and her face was slightly red.

Lin Miaozhen didn't care, she ate happily, and naturally picked up the wine glass again, and she poured half a bowl of mellow elixir and jade dew in one go.

"If it weren't for this palace, I would really want to meet that girl from the Shen family, by the way, her father is Shen Shao Shen Bachelor, do you remember, back then, your eldest brother followed him to study, you had to go in with a small sword and ask your eldest brother to watch you dance the sword, but Master Shen went around to learn the art of war in a few words."

Suddenly remembered the interesting story of her childhood, Lin Miaozhen's face was slightly red, she was born bright and generous, when she lowered her eyes and smiled, it was like a red glow shrouded in the distant mountains and the deep pools nearby, the distant mountains were heroic, the deep pools were secluded, but under this touch of red, there was a different kind of moving.

Shen Shiqing lowered his eyes: "You remember this kind of thing clearly." ”

"I remember it all clearly." Lin Miaozhen took another sip of wine, "I want to remember it for the rest of my life." ”

Maybe it's because she remembered the old things, maybe it's because she's in a good mood, this time Lin Miaozhen was really drunk, and she couldn't even send the emperor out of Changchun Palace.

Shen Shiqing waved away the sedan chair and walked on the stone road shrouded in moonlight.

It's been seven years, and there are still people in this palace who remember her father.

She raised her hand, and then remembered that the hairpin that was "good for the good" and the identity of "Shen Shiqing" were now with Emperor Zhaode.

And she herself inexplicably became a monarch above ten thousand people, holding power that she could not have imagined before.

What she wanted to do seemed to be easy, but she still felt like she was in the mud.

"Those who are reckless and reckless, three meals are reversed, and the belly is still true; Those who are suitable for 100 miles will be fed with food; For those who are suitable for thousands of miles, gather grain in March. *”

Reciting this sentence in "Getaway" silently in her heart, her expression gradually relaxed.

It was the beginning of the month, and the moon was only a shallow bend, and Shen Shiqing, who was standing in the middle of the road, looked up at the moon and lowered his head again.

"A chicken, are there many people who intercede for Ning Anbo?"

"Back to the emperor, there have been fewer in the past few days, only a few people, but ......"

"But what?"

"However, King Yingjun sent his son to Beijing, saying that he was coming to Beijing to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival."

The aunt of the king of Yingjun is the county lord of Huaiyuan, Xie Wenyuan's mother, and Xie Wenyuan is also the cousin of the prince of Yingjun.

It's not a plea, but it's more effective than any intercession. King Yingjun was enthroned in Jiangxi, and he was extremely tolerant since the first emperor, and he even sent his son to Yanjing, counting his cousin Emperor Zhaode, how could he continue to lock people up for no reason.

"The prince of Yingjun? Zhao Qinyang? Is he going to Beijing? ”

"Yes, the emperor, I went on the fold a few days ago, and the cabinet thinks it's a trivial matter, and it's been allowed."

Under the night, the rooster saw his own emperor and smiled indistinctly.

"Summoning the four rats to meet me."

"Yes."

His Majesty was diligent for a few days, and then broke off the court meeting, Li Congyuan, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, woke up early, accompanied his wife to eat a piece of flower cake and drink some flower porridge, he was about to go to the court, but heard someone hurriedly knocking on the door of his house.

"Elder Li Ge! Oh no! Open the door! Open the door! Your Majesty wants to move the capital in order to eat fresh anchovies! ”
