Chapter 41: The Banquet Went Wrong
But among them, it is undoubtedly a taboo to go with crabs, and I still remember the crab pear that the guy said in the clouds - if you are a thousand miles away, she later sent someone to ask what food to eat crabs and what kind of food conflicts, including persimmons.
Crabs are not often found in Kyoto in winter, perhaps this year's reputation is the reason for the fame of the fresh house, there were no crabs at the New Year's banquet in the past, and Ning Ruoshui may be for freshness, but also to follow the trend will choose.
There are often rumors that people are prone to diarrhea in August, September and October, maybe people eat crabs without paying attention to eating those taboo foods, but now she is in trouble.
Since the Shang Food Bureau has not found any clues, then few people know about this matter, if it is pointed out that these dishes cannot be eaten together, who will believe it, Ning Ruoshui is thinking about how to harm her. But if you don't say it, if you want to let the civil and military officials eat it in front of everyone, where is the national prestige of Dafeng, and how can this thing be done more satisfactorily.
was distressed, the back window was opened, and she instantly became vigilant, and her sharp gaze hit her.
In an instant, an agile man turned in, and the two looked at each other, it was Zhou Yang! This guy is always sneaky, so she let down her guard and continued to look at the folds in her hand.
said calmly: "Guard Zhou is very close to the window!" ”
Zhou Yang turned around and poked his head out to look left and right, then closed the window and walked slowly to the bookcase: "I found the body." ”
She was shocked by this cold sentence, stunned for a moment, and said dumbfounded: "What corpse?" ”
"The little eunuch who knocked you out and carried you to that hall that day."
His eyes twinkled, his tone was calm, as if death was a common thing for him.
Chu Yunjing was still stunned, and he didn't notice that the fold in his hand fell on the table, could it be that Ning Ruoshui killed those eunuchs because he didn't succeed? Or does she have a vicious personality and have to deal with the troubles no matter how she succeeds?
"Where?"
"Mass graves outside the palace!"
She really couldn't believe it, Ning Ruoshui actually killed her life at will, although these eunuchs were self-inflicted, they were not guilty, and they crossed the imperial power in the palace to decide the life and death of the palace people at will!
"How do you react this way? This is a common means for concubines to compete for favor or for princes and ministers to compete for power, you haven't seen it in the harem? It seems that I have to think carefully about whether this backer can be relied on! ”
After speaking, he leaned back, leaning against the curtain and leaning against the sandalwood floor cover in the study and outer room.
"Knowing the secrets of this palace, if you quit now, you will be the same as those eunuchs." She lifted her eyelids sharply, and the bottom of her eyes was cold.
Five days ago, Sun De sent a letter to make the investigation of Zhou Yang's background clear.
Studying under the Qiyun Mountain-Tianshan Martial Saint Main Sect-Sword Saint Grand Master, Zhou Yang was adopted for twenty years, but inherited the surname of the Great Grandmaster, who had no children and no daughters in his life, and regarded this adopted son as his heir.
This identity really surprised her, if Zhou Yang entered the court as an official in this capacity, what kind of official rank could not be obtained, and the officials of the martial arts sect in the world have always been ashamed of the officials of the Great Sealing Dynasty, is this not the reason?
Zhou Yang went down the mountain for the first time in the name of traveling to the rivers and lakes a year ago, and the Tianshan Martial Saint faction knew that this future head of the sect would go down the mountain for ten years to experience, and ten years later he would go back to inherit the master's life no matter what.
A person who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and has the number one sect in the world, didn't he come to the palace to be a little guard because he was interesting? Maybe you want to experience the thrill of Vanity Fair and form an alliance with her to get an official position?
That is, it is adopted, how high the talent must be to be the heir, which not only shows Zhou Yang's extraordinary talent and the master's love for him, but also shows that maybe this person's true identity is not simple....
"I'll just say that the Ning family is not easy to mess with, so it's a loss!"
Zhou Yang's words pulled Chu Yunjing back from his memories: "It's not me who I'm going to provoke, it's that she has to get along with me, do I want her to bully?" The tone was indignant, and he put his hands on the armrests helplessly.
After a long time, the voice was like a breeze: "Well, don't worry! I'll protect you, like that overboard. ”
She looked up at Zhou Yang again, her eyes lit up: "Thank you so much!" ”
"I just hope that the mother will not forget the promise." Then, without waiting for her to say anything more, she flipped out.
Before she could react, a cold wind blew in, and she couldn't help frowning, and then Zhou Yang came back again, standing outside the window and softly pushing the window shut.
Looking at the pile of folds on the left side of the table, and then at the folds of the Shang Shi Bureau that had just fallen, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Immediately took the pen in his hand, dipped some cinnabar, circled these several dishes of wine and food, took a book of folds, and began to write these taboos of eating together, and then walked to Fengyi Palace.
When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, she was introduced into the inner hall, and when the queen came out of the Buddhist hall, the queen came to see her with half a cup of tea.
The queen was dressed in black plain clothes, did not wear a hairpin ring, and still smiled at her with that kind appearance when she pinched the Buddha beads.
"Sons see the queen mother!"
"Get up! What is your urgent need to see this palace? ”
She looked at the queen with a little hesitation, and then took the two copies in her hand.
"Erchen looked at the catering prepared by the Shangshi Bureau today, and saw that there was something wrong during the period, so he specially wrote it out, and asked the queen mother to take a look."
The queen took the fold, hung the Buddhist beads on her wrist, and looked at them suspiciously.
After a cup of tea, he closed the fold and put it lightly on the table, sighing slightly: "I haven't heard of what you said in the palace, why haven't the Ministry of Rites and the palace prepared it find out?" Is there any way you can prove it? ”
"Maybe the medical orders of the Taiyi Bureau will be called to verify, Erchen knows very well that this matter is related to the national body and cannot be sloppy, if these things are eaten by civil and military officials, there is really a problem, when I am poured, I will not be criticized by the world, and I hope that the queen mother will pay attention to it!" She lowered her head and spoke in an impassioned tone.
Hearing this, the queen waved her hand helplessly and motioned to Mama Cui to send someone to call for a medical order.
After a while, four or five medical orders came, saluting the two of them, but the queen did not tell the truth, but only took Chu Yunjing's written memo to the medical order, asking if it was true.
Chu Yunjing's excerpt wrote about the dangers of eating crabs, pears and persimmons together, and after several imperial doctors took turns to check it, they discussed a few more words, and then the highest-grade and most senior imperial doctor Lin replied.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, this is true, the crab meat is cold, and the pears and persimmons that are the same cold foods as Shengjin moisturize the lungs, detoxify and clear heat, etc., the same food will indeed cause diarrhea, if there are other hidden diseases, I am afraid it will aggravate the symptoms."
The queen was convinced when she saw the very sincere appearance of several imperial doctors, and sent several imperial doctors back, and said with concern: "I didn't expect it to be like this, you have worked hard, and your body is okay?" ”
Her tone was unfazed: "After returning to my mother, it is all within the son's business, and the son's body is already good!" ”
"In that case, then you can take over! Connect with Ruoshui, change the plan of the Shangshi Bureau, if there are other places that do not comply with the rules, you are in charge! The queen's eyes were sad, and she hastily handed back the banquet to her.
Chu Yunjing thought for a while, and opened his mouth to ask for a purpose: "Erchen still has one more matter, Erchen wants to carry the tortoiseshell chrysanthemum for the prince." ”
"Well, it's good for you to call the shots, and this palace will cross out her name from the list of people leaving the palace."
Ning Ruo didn't give her all the power in her hands, but just let her re-participate in the banquet, but the catering is now in her charge, and she didn't point out that she had to take care of things, because she was afraid that everyone at the banquet would be excited, and she would really die when she went home after eating and drinking.
The Changqing Hall on the left side of the Taiji Palace is the place where the foreign ministers are temporarily replaced, if there is really a drunk person who can't get out of the palace at the palace banquet, it will be temporarily arranged there, or the minister who serves the saint will also live there temporarily.
Low-level courtiers will be sent out of the palace no matter how drunk they are, and only princes and princes with titles above the second rank can temporarily live in the Evergreen Palace, including the princes who have left the palace to open the palace, if they are not specially approved to return to the Jiuhua Hall and Yihua Hall to live, they can only live there.
On the day of the national celebration, female dependents are allowed to attend the table, but they must also have a grade of edict, unmarried princesses, county lords, etc. are not allowed to sit on the table, and the ladies of the edict above the third grade and the princesses above their fate, as well as Zhang Guifei, and the female dependents are all this.
Secondly, the seat of the prince is on the platform below the saint, and the ordinary officials sit in the main hall, making two rows of high and low on the side, and the center of the hall is the platform for dancing and music.
This year, Ning Ruoshui deliberately found a craftsman to hide a large drum with gold rim inlaid with six or seven zhang wide under the platform, just because the teaching workshop department presented a good dancing girl from the Western Regions, Dafeng has always been all-encompassing, and never excludes these strange cultures.
She couldn't help but sigh that Ning Ruoshui went to her mother's house to get money if the budget of the treasury was not enough, and she was so arrogant that she couldn't get anything from this powerful family.
On this day, she personally went to the Qilin Hall to check, and there were four days to reach the thirtieth, everything in the Qilin Hall was arranged, she looked around, not wanting to miss a single detail, and pointed out some mistakes for the palace people of the Qilin Hall to take care of.
Suddenly, she saw that there seemed to be some cracks in the golden dragon claws on a golden silk nanmu pillar, which was not a good sign, and immediately whispered to Si Yu to go to the Inner Service Bureau to call the craftsmen to repair it, and also instructed not to make a noise, she was the only one in the hall at this moment.
She carefully studied the cracks on the dragon's claws, and saw a pair of master and servant faintly coming in at the door, and when she entered, she saw that it was Ning Ruoshui, who came proudly, twisted her steps proudly, and swaggered past Chu Yunjing, and swaggered to her side, and the grandmother next to Ning Ruoshui hurriedly moved a chair.
Chu Yunjing knew that this was about to be a whole moth again, so he watched Ning Ruoshui sit down proudly, and then patrolled around the main hall, as if the subordinates had been sent away, and even the guards at the door were gone.
is really arrogant, dare to make trouble in the huge Qilin Palace, and don't take the saint in her eyes at all, this woman will definitely die in the end, she thought in her heart.
At this time, Ning Ruoshui smiled sarcastically, and the mean and coquettish tone quickly came: "Oh, fifth brother and sister, you have finally fallen into the hands of this palace, what should this palace do to you today?" ”
She pursed her lips and looked innocent, and said provocatively: "You have lost to me every time, can you win this time?" ”
Ning Ruoshui smiled, and his eyes were grim: "The palace people of the Qilin Hall have all been taken away by this palace, do you think my Ning family's daughter is easy to bully?" You lowly thing, this palace wants to beat you like pinching a worm to death! ”
She listened to the curse, and gradually raised her head to look at Ning Ruoshui, her expression unafraid.
