Chapter 46: Let's stay in the study today
Yangmei also sat down.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" Zhou Yunyi asked again, Yang Meike is a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Yang Mei said: "Dear Queen Mother, you are about to forget about the autumn hunting." ”
As soon as Yang Mei mentioned that she was going to hunt, Zhou Yunyi's second pulse was instantly opened, and she remembered that Xiao Chengze had mentioned this matter to her some time ago.
Xiao Chengze said that he wanted Zhou Yunyi to arrange the people in the harem well, and then go to the hunting ground together to hunt.
As a result, within a few days of speaking, Xiao Chengtian came back from the fiefdom.
The palace was busy up and down for Xiao Chengtian. And then she was angry with Xiao Chengtian for bullying her sister, and she had already forgotten about the hunting.
"As soon as my mind got busy, I forgot about it." Zhou Yunyi knocked his head with his hand.
Zhou Yunyi looked at Yangmei, "Since you're here, let's have a meal with us!" ”
Although it was said to be an internal family dinner, Yangmei happened to arrive at lunch, and sat on such a large table of dishes in the house, even if it was enough to eat with Yangmei, so I simply left Yangmei for a meal.
"Yes, Concubine Liang Niangniang will stay and dine together!" Zhou Lingyi also invited very warmly.
Yang Mei said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The little palace maid quickly added a pair of chopsticks to Yangmei. Red rice stood behind Yangmei in a regular manner, waiting for the hair to fall.
Zhou Yunyi can see the scar on Hongmi's face, although it is not so shocking now, but the scar is just across the entire middle part of the face, and it may be difficult for this girl to marry in the future.
"Redmi, you go to the kitchenette and get some snacks to eat."
Zhou Yunyi loves to eat snacks, and there are always some melon seeds and snacks in the small kitchen, which is used to prevent the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room from being absent, and Zhou Yunyi wants to eat and can be used to cushion the stomach.
"Red rice, thank you for the reward of Queen Mother." Redmi's voice is still very clear, which makes people feel comfortable to listen to.
Zhou Yunyi prepared to go to Xiao Chengze after eating for a while to discuss the autumn hunting.
After eating this meal, Lord Zhou spoke very little, because the family motto he has always followed is not to eat and sleep, and the two daughters he has educated are naturally the same.
Yangmei is also the daughter of a big family, and her family education is very good, except for a few words of greeting with Lord Zhou before eating, once she starts to eat, she doesn't make a little sound.
Because Zhou Yunyi came from modern times, according to her habits, she always likes to chat while eating. Every time I open my mouth while eating, there will be silence around me. And the people at the table will all look at her, staring at her embarrassed.
After experiencing it twice, Zhou Yunyi also felt embarrassed, so she learned to eat and sleep silently.
After the meal was over, Zhou Yunyi asked Yangmei to help him send him a person who gave Zhou Lingyi porridge.
Yang Mei readily agreed.
Zhou Yunyi went to the study alone to find Xiao Chengze.
Xiao Chengze had just had lunch in the study at this time, and the dishes and bowls containing the meals had just been withdrawn, and Xiao Chengze began to be busy with a lot of work.
The recitals written by the ministers were piled up all over the table, and they were about to bury a man like Xiao Chengze, who was 1.85 meters and 85, behind the table, which showed the huge amount of work.
Xiao Chenzi saw Zhou Yunyi's arrival and wanted to remind Xiao Chengze. But Zhou Yunyi made a silent action to remind Xiao Chenzi not to make a sound.
Zhou Yunyi quietly walked into the study, Xiao Chengze was still busy, and then Zhou Yunyi walked to his side.
Xiao Chengze found out who was coming, Zhou Yunyi came. Zhou Yunyi intimately arranged the scattered folds one by one for him.
Then he picked up another piece of ink and began to continue grinding for Xiao Chengze, Zhou Yunyi had also done grinding before.
Although I don't have a lot of ink polishing, I still have some experience.
After Zhou Yunyi grinded the ink block, Xiao Chengze used a brush to write on the inkstone and dipped the ink, and picked up the pen to review the folds, and the two of them were a loving couple with each other. No, it should be said that the two of them were originally a loving couple.
Xiao Chengze finished a stack of folds and finally stretched his waist.
"I'm so tired!" Xiao Chengze stretched his waist and hugged Zhou Yunyi's waist who was standing next to the chair.
Zhou Yunyi writhed twice. "It's so itchy, don't hug my waist."
Zhou Yunyi is very sensitive to his waist and is very afraid of itching, and Xiao Chengze is very bad taste, and always likes to touch his itchy flesh.
"Don't scratch." Zhou Yunyi was tickled all over by Xiao Chengze.
Xiao Chengze especially liked to see Zhou Yunyi's embarrassed appearance, and admired it for a while before saying, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." ”
Xiao Chengze no longer hugged Zhou Yunyi tightly, but exerted force with one hand, and directly put Zhou Yunyi on his lap.
Xiao Chengze asked: "With your father and sister, I'm done eating." ”
Zhou Yunyi replied: "It's time to eat, my sister has already left the palace." ”
"I really envy your sister, I'm going to be a mother soon."
Xiao Chengze's words made Zhou Yunyi laugh, if he said that he envied Xiao Chengtian and was about to become a father, it would be better. It's really weird to say that he envies Zhou Lingyi and is about to be a mother, and he can't give birth to himself and can't be a mother.
Of course, Zhou Yunyi also understood that Xiao Chengze wanted to have a child with him, and he had mentioned this matter in front of Zhou Lingyi before.
But Zhou Yunyi is not yet 20 years old, and it is the first time she is in love. She also wants to live in a two-person world for a while, and she doesn't want to have children at all.
Zhou Yunyi decided that it was time to give Xiao Chengze a good beating, "What is there to envy, the child can't be returned after birth, and there is no way to deal with him if you hate it when the time comes." Can only continue next to each other. ”
Xiao Chengze whispered: "If you really give birth, my baby is too late, how can you be so bored that you want to go back." ”
Xiao Chengze was extremely affectionate, Zhou Yunyi recalled all kinds of past with Xiao Chengze, if he really gave birth to a child, he must be a good father.
No, where do you think about it, she wants to be a determined woman, and she will never have children before the age of 25.
Zhou Yunyi immediately diverted the topic.
"I'm here to tell you about the autumn hunt."
Xiao Chengze was a little disappointed. I thought it was Zhou Yunyi who immediately rushed from Chifeng Palace after sending away Lord Zhou and Zhou Lingyi, because he thought about him, it turned out to be for business!
"It's just a tradition that has come over the years, you don't need to make too much trouble, everything can be simple." Xiao Chengze said.
"Then I'll ask the Bureau of Supplies to prepare all the things that should be prepared according to last year's specifications." Zhou Yunyi has no experience in this matter, but since it is an old tradition, according to the specifications of previous years. If you don't change, you can't go wrong.
"No problem." Xiao Chengze has never had much interest in hunting.
That site is the Royal Forest Garden, and in order to protect the safety of the royal members, all the mighty tigers and other things have been expelled long ago.
There are only a few pheasants, wild boars, hares and other small animals left in the forest, which are not very lethal. There's no sense of accomplishment when you start doing it.
"What about the accompanying crowd?"
This is what gives Zhou Yunyi a headache.
Actually, there are very few people in the harem now. You can count it on one hand, but don't look at such a small number of people, the things behind it are still complicated, and I don't know who to let and who not to let go for a while.
Xiao Chengze began to think in his mouth, "You and Yangmei are naturally going, according to previous years." The Queen Mother is also going to attend. ”
"But this year. The Song family made a mistake. The Queen Mother has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha recently, so she let her continue to recuperate in the palace. It can be regarded as a small lesson for the Song family. ”
Xiao Chengze said again: "As for the concubines, Concubine Zhang is seriously ill. The rest of the concubines are also many years older. There is no need for them to go, let them recuperate in the palace and recuperate their injuries. ”
Xiao Chengze took a moment and arranged all the people and things well.
"Okay, that's it." Zhou Yunyi curled a strand of his hair with his fingers.
Zhou Yunyi was actually waiting for Xiao Chengze to speak, and did not let the Queen Mother go hunting.
Because of Concubine Zhang's situation, there is definitely no way to go to the hunting scene again, if all the concubines in the palace follow the Queen Mother to hunt. Wouldn't that make Xiao Chengtian's face unbearable.
The reason why the royal family attaches so much importance to this autumn hunt. The root cause of this is because although the hunt is nominally to hunt in the mountains. But he was more essentially a sacrificial event.
The ancestors of the Xiao royal family, don't be buried near Dongyang Mountain, and later after the Xiao descendants developed, they ascended to the throne in the troubled times.
The first founding emperor took all the people from the palace to Dongyang Mountain to worship in the autumn.
Because the transportation was not convenient at that time, they took swords and some hunting tools directly on the mountain to catch some animals as sacrifices.
Over time, it's like a tradition has been handed down.
The person who can go to Dongyang Mountain to worship is the person who is recognized by the entire imperial family.
That's why I am worried that Concubine Zhang's failure will cause some unnecessary public opinion.
But now the queen mother of the harem and all the concubines are not going, this is not an exception, but a new rule.
Xiao Chengze is telling the world with his actions, I recognize you old princesses, and you don't need to go to Dongyang Mountain anymore to verify the royal family's recognition of you.
"Stay with me tonight." Xiao Chengze said.
When Xiao Chengze went that day, he wanted to stay in Chifeng Palace, but he happened to meet Zhou Lingyi, and learned that Zhou Lingyi was going to live in the palace.
Although it is said that there is a main hall in the queen's palace and many rooms in the side hall, it is always a little uncomfortable to have an eldest aunt, so Xiao Chengze did not stay overnight.
Zhou Yunyi asked: "Do the two of us live in the study, or your dormitory?" ”
Although the study area is not large, there is also a room for people to rest on the left side, which is specially prepared for the emperor to work overtime.
Xiao Chengze smiled and said, "You can go anywhere you want." ”
"But haven't the two of us lived together in the study? Do you want to give it a try? Xiao Chengze is kind and persuasive.
Zhou Yunyi thought for a moment, and finally agreed. "Oh well! I'm going to try to see if the bed in the study is comfortable today. ”
"What would you like to eat tonight? I asked them to send the two of us directly to the study. ”
Xiao Chengze has been busy for several hours, and now he is too lazy to move the place, and he can't wait to lie down and rest immediately.
