Chapter 20: The Queen Mother's Appreciation

Imperial City, Cining Palace,

An old woman with a loving face, dressed in a dragon and phoenix curtain, sat in the center of the main hall, gossiping with the queen's many concubines.

The eunuch at the door screamed, "The eldest princess has arrived." ”

Empress Dowager Chu looked at the heroic eldest princess below and nodded with satisfaction.

"Jun'er, I wish peace to the imperial grandmother, and may the imperial grandmother be healthy."

Empress Dowager Chu's wrinkled face showed a smile,

"An, An, why did Jun'er think of entering the palace to see the mourning family today."

"Do you just want to think about the imperial grandmother, I want to enter the palace to see." Liu Jun said with a smile.

"Flim tongue, come to the mourning family."

Liu Jun walked to the hall, sat on the same bed with the Queen Mother, and said:

"Did you taste the MSG that I sent to the imperial grandmother at lunch?"

Empress Dowager Chu bowed her head and said with emotion: "This is really a strange thing, the mourning family likes the umami-heavy meal the most on weekdays, especially the full taste of the soup after steaming."

But since his body deteriorated, the imperial doctor told the mourning family not to eat too much broth, as it would cause fever, and since then the mourning family has been unable to eat, and has become increasingly weak. ”

"Yesterday, Jun'er sent that thing to cook the meal, it tasted the same as the broth, and even after the meal, the spirit was a little better, the mourning family should reward you, Jun'er is the most filial."

After that, he became worried, "I don't know if there is anything left, I'm afraid that only one bottle won't last long." ”

Liu Jun comforted when he heard this: "Grandmother Huang, rest assured, this seasoning is not obtained from Western trade, but made by our Great Song people." Today, Erchen has already discussed with someone, and in the future, the business of this spice will be our royal family, so the imperial grandmother does not have to worry about not having seasonings to eat.

Not only that, but there is also a new seasoning, which Erchen has just sent to the imperial dining room, and the imperial grandmother can taste it for dinner.

I had tasted it beforehand, and it tasted excellent, so my grandmother was looking forward to it. ”

After that, he smiled sweetly at the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Chu was happy, stroked Liu Jun's back, and said:

"Jun'er understands my mind best, and the mourning family didn't have half an appetite when they had dinner before, but now they have to look forward to it every day."

All the concubines in the palace should also laugh with the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Chu thought about it for a while and said:

"Since it is a seasoning made by the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the mourning family should reward him, listen to Jun'er's words, you are familiar with him, then thank the mourning family well, do some business with others, and also make a little more profit, the royal family should not be stingy."

Liu Jun said with a smile, "This person must have heard of the Queen Mother, not a common man in the market." ”

Hearing Liu Jun say this, the Empress Dowager Chu was interested, and she liked the novelty of living in the deep palace for a long time.

"Oh? It's not the people, that's the son of the prince of which family? ”

"The imperial grandmother is right, it is Jia Rong, the eldest grandson of Ning Guofu."

Empress Dowager Chu was a little surprised when she heard this,

"Ning Guofu is behind the door, how can he make such an inaccessible seasoning."

Liu Jun shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I got an ancient book by accident and learned it from the book." ”

Empress Dowager Chu bowed, "I have heard of this person by chance, but he is a poor child, I heard that he was driven out of Ningguo Mansion because of family scandals and became self-reliant, and now it seems to be a good one." ”

"But the mourning family's reward should not be rewarded by the Rongning Second Mansion, this is not in line with the etiquette, then tomorrow the mourning family will make a decree to reward the old lady Jia of the Rongguo Mansion."

Liu Jun was happy in her heart and thanked the Empress Dowager Chu for Jia Rong.

To do things with others, the most important thing is to make good friends, and Liu Jun, as a superior, must do a good job of buying people's hearts.

Now that Jia Rong is weak in Jiafu, he doesn't want to see him, so Liu Jun helped him ask for a reward like this, which is a favor that can't be exchanged for gold and silver.

Jia Rong is a person who values love and righteousness, so that she can do things for her well, and since then Liu Jun has even been happier than Jia Rong.

But there were people on the side who were unhappy, Queen Tong looked at Jia Yuanchun, the female envoy standing on the side, and Yuanchun was stunned.

Although she had correspondence with the Jia family, she hadn't mentioned such a thing recently, so she could only smile wryly and shake her head.

Queen Tong was a little annoyed, the Jia family was originally a person on her chariot, why didn't she have the good things from the Jia family, but she was borrowed by Liu Jun to offer flowers to the Buddha, which won the favor of the Queen Mother.

Liu Jun was born by the late Empress Huining, Empress Huining was the most virtuous and virtuous Emperor Longtai, and Empress Tong was the queen again, so she did not deal with Liu Jun.

Empress Dowager Chu has lived in the harem for more than 60 years, and this little action can't escape her eyes.

"Empress Tong."

Empress Tong came back to her senses and replied, "My daughter-in-law is here." ”

"I remember that the female envoy next to you is the eldest daughter of the second room of the Jia family's Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly knelt down and obeyed, and the Empress Dowager Tong said: "Exactly." ”

Empress Dowager Chu said: "The Jia family is a prince of two countries, and it is also one of the top two families in the capital, and the two mansions can't even tolerate a brother, isn't it a joke to drive people out, besides, this brother is still a capable person, a good boy, you can't embarrass him." ”

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly kowtowed and asked for guilt, and the Empress Dowager Chu waved her hand to let everyone retreat, and the gossip meeting broke up unhappily.

Out of Cining Palace, Liu Jun used the demeanor he learned from Jia Rong, his chin was slightly raised, his eyes were flat, and he glanced at Queen Tong, and then turned to leave.

This kind of demeanor of winning really made Liu Jun happy in his heart.

But the Empress Dowager Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and the Empress Dowager Tong glanced back at Jia Yuanchun, and then left by herself.

……

Early in the morning,

In the room, Jia Rong was wearing a belt, and Qingwen put her head under the quilt and said:

"Master, let Xiangling come in and serve you and dress, the slave and maid can't get up."

Yesterday, Qingwen was like a dream, and she had heard some things in the room from her grandmothers.

But the way the master practiced her yesterday was unheard of, and now I am ashamed to die when I think about it.

At first, it was normal, Jia Rong was moving, and asked Qingwen if she would interrupt Jia Rong's speech, Qingwen begged for mercy and replied no.

Then Jia Rong asked again, would she pull out her hand to avoid Jia Rong, Qingwen couldn't bear it, and she couldn't cry.

After that, I became more and more improper, I only remember that I said a lot of embarrassing things, and even learned to bark a puppy......

Jia Rong looked back at Qingwen, who looked well-behaved on the bed, and was very satisfied.

Little girl, if you don't teach you a lesson, this family must not be overturned by you.

Not long after, Xiangling came in to freshen up Jia Rong, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Jia Rong.

Unlike Qingwen, Jia Rong is very sorry for Xiangling, although every girl has suffered to varying degrees in the original book, but Xiangling has been suffering since she was five years old, and the only happy day may be when she is learning poetry, this time he also wants this girl to live better.

Jia Rong asked with concern: "Are you still used to living in the house?" ”

The sudden greeting made Xiangling a little at a loss, and since she left her parents, no one has spoken to her in this tone.

"I'm still used to it, my grandmother is very good to me, and Sister Qingwen is very good to me." Xiangling replied timidly.

Jia Rong bowed her head, didn't say anything more, and went to the courtyard to continue her daily morning exercise.
