305 treats
Wan Ning stayed in the Li Mansion for a few more days, and only returned to the palace after all the affairs were settled.
The emperor made the decision for the Li family, and Wanning was of course full of gratitude to him. Although my father was indeed wronged, there are many examples of grievances in this world that cannot be found in Zhaoxue. Are so many sinners recorded in the history books really heinous? It is said that it is right and wrong, and the future generations will give a fair evaluation, but the favorable side is all inclined to the living, and everything about the dead is impossible to judge, and what evidence is used to judge?
Maybe if she doesn't fight to rehabilitate her father, the cause of his death and his grievances will sink into the sea and be tarnished forever. My father was a good husband, a good father, and he worked diligently for the court all his life, and he must not end up like this after his death. What's more, Wan Ning has not been able to let go of his death.
For such a long time, she has been walking on thin ice to get along with the emperor, and she has tried her best to keep the bottom line. In addition to requesting, I can't give the emperor too much, let alone "pay". Fortunately, the emperor is a wise monarch, thinking of his father's contributions during his lifetime and his grievances after his death. The emperor will not confuse the harem with the previous dynasty, and will not let women influence his own decisions. The emperor is indeed a true gentleman, and he will not have despicable acts.
Also, I really committed it several times. I heard that Prime Minister Wei was outspoken and repeatedly collided with him, but the emperor allowed him to do so, for the sake of court and political affairs. I'm just a woman, how can I compare? If it weren't for his father, the emperor ordered his head, what could he do?
Wan Ning recalled that she was the daughter of a criminal minister when she first entered the palace. As the daughter of a criminal minister, she was either assigned and dragged to serve as an official prostitute, or she was far away from the court and was not allowed to step into the palace for half a step. Of course, my uncle wouldn't let himself end up like this. But after entering the palace, if the emperor really investigates it, where will he still have his own good life? Not to mention avenging his father. Wan Ning felt that it was already a great luck to be able to stay in the palace.
Although Wan Ning once thought that the emperor was the culprit of the Li family's ruin. If there is no demotion, the father will not die, and the mother will not be martyred. But he did have some purpose, and he felt guilty. still blames the emperor in his heart, but on the whole, the emperor treats himself quite leniently and tries his best to make up for his debt to his father.
She believes that she should be grateful to the emperor. How can I be grateful? It should also be expressed.
Although she has been in the harem for a long time, she never thinks that she is a person in the harem, and she can't treat the emperor as her own heaven like the eldest grandson and other women in the harem, and never disobey. Respectful because he is the emperor and nothing else.
If you can't speak softly, at least let the emperor come up for a meal, and the tone of your voice can be a little gentle. In order to express her gratitude, Wan Ning decided to cook a few dishes for the emperor herself.
Wan Ning discussed with Zhou Cairen first, and asked the emperor to come to the side hall for a meal, and Cairen of course agreed. Then she told Xiao Wenjing about her plan, and Xiao Wenjing told his master to ask if it was feasible. Unexpectedly, the emperor also readily agreed.
On the appointed day, the emperor came to Yunyan Pavilion earlier than usual. Fortunately, Wan Ning prepared a large table of dishes in advance, otherwise, there would be an embarrassing situation of making the emperor, a distinguished guest, wait.
"Wanning, I heard that you are going to invite me to dinner, but I came on an empty stomach."
Wan Ning smiled and responded, "Your Majesty, you are joking." She pointed to the round stool, "Your Majesty, please take a seat." ”
After the emperor sat down, Wanning served him rice, tested poison, served vegetables, and served him meticulously.
The Emperor glanced at her and commanded, "Sit down." ”
"Yes."
Wanning sat down, and she had the feeling of a concubine serving the emperor. This is something that Wan Ning has been evading, and her performance has made the emperor puzzled.
"You can eat too. I'm eating alone, what's the matter! Besides, I'm really not used to your transformation. Say, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? ”
"What medicine can a slave or maid sell! It's just that when I saw today's Li Mansion, I felt that I should thank the emperor well. Without the emperor's tolerance and wisdom, my father's great revenge could not be avenged, the grievances could not be revealed, and the Li family would not be able to turn over. Except for inviting you to a meal and making a few dishes, the slave doesn't know what else to do. ”
"Don't you really know what else to do? I can give what I want, as long as you want. The emperor's sharp eyes glanced at her again.
What he wants, Wanning can't afford to give. After a long time, she was speechless. She wanted to break the situation and desperately wanted to change the subject. She suddenly remembered Master Meng. After her father was rehabilitated, she always wanted to thank Master Meng and regarded it as a very important thing.
It's not so much that she's trying to intercede for Lord Meng, it's better to say that she's having nothing to say. The original plan was to ask the emperor to reinstate his officials, and the atmosphere should be better, so the certainty will be greater. No matter what you say now, as long as you can make the emperor think about something else. pleaded with Lord Meng, and the emperor's mind was pulled, but he did not immediately agree. Just say, think again.
No matter what, Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, just think about it, it's better than what the emperor kept saying to give him what he wanted.
She chatted about Zhou Cairen again. Because Zhou Cairen's stomach is already obvious, according to the ancestral system, it is reasonable to promote Cairen to Jieyu.
Regarding this matter, the emperor gave Wanning a reassurance: "Don't worry, I have already thought about this." In a few days, the oracle will come out, and the promotion will be Jieyu. ”
"The slave and maid thanked the emperor first for the talent."
The emperor still finished this meal with a happy mood, after all, it was too rare, he felt that the relationship with Wan Ning had taken a step forward, and Wan Ning's attitude towards him had changed a lot.
