105: She likes to be tough
Song Yunzhao looked at the flowers sent to him, and looked up at the person who came slightly, "What does this mean?"
Dong Guiren was stared at by Song Yunzhao's eyes, and he felt a little furious for a while, and forced out a smile and said, "If you return to Jieyu, you want to put a vase of flowers on your dining table, and the Mid-Autumn Festival flower appreciation can be regarded as adding a touch of color."
Song Yunzhao said lightly, "I don't like these, you can take them back."
Dong Guiren's face froze, she didn't expect Song Yunzhao to refuse so neatly, and she suddenly couldn't get off the stage. The vase in his hand was like a hot potato, and he looked like he was going to cry.
Song Yunzhao looked at her like this, and she couldn't go up or down for a while, she didn't say anything, just don't spend it, why did Dong Guiren look like he was bullied by her.
Han Jinyi looked at Song Yunzhao's face, then turned her head to look at Dong Guiren and said, "It's just a vase of flowers, Song Jieyu doesn't like you to take it back, who to show it like this, I don't know if I think we people are bullying you, this is really wronged."
As soon as Han Jinyi said this, Lu Zhixue realized that something was wrong, and he had been punished and unlucky many times recently, so he stared at Dong Guiren and asked directly, "A mere nobleman, are you trying to force us to pick up your flowers?" You're so daring!"
Song Yunzhao glanced at Lu Zhixue, why is it just us?
Dong Guiren was obviously targeting her, Han Jinyi just protected her, why did Lu Zhixue also jump into the pit?
That's not right, is it?
Dong Guiren: ......
Being stared at like this by the three of them, she didn't dare to do anything even if she ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and hurriedly said, "The concubine didn't mean this, Concubine Lu misunderstood, I'll leave."
Dong Guiren almost fled, Song Yunzhao stared at her back, seeing that she went all the way back, there were indeed a lot less flower arrangements, she raised her eyes and saw that many flower arrangements were placed on the food table, which looked really pleasing to the eye.
With a move in her mind, she looked up at the throne, and saw that the emperor's dining table was empty at this time, and before she could retract her gaze, she saw Chen Guiji holding a vase of flowers and putting it up.
Song Yunzhao sneered in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Lu Zhixue looked at Song Yunzhao's expression was wrong, and when she looked over, she saw Chen Guiji's figure walking down, and then looked at the vase of flowers in front of the throne, thinking that Song Yunzhao was jealous.
She snorted in her heart, it was just a vase of flowers, but she put it in her eyes, if the emperor favored others another day, she would not have to cry in the palace of forgetting worries and closing the door.
Thinking about it like this, Lu Zhixue trembled, it was probably impossible for Song Yunzhao to cry, and it was very likely that he would knock on the door.
She looked sideways at Song Yunzhao, imagining that she was leading someone to the door, and was silent for a while.
Song Yunzhao felt that Lu Zhixue's eyes were strange when she looked at her, and she didn't know what she was thinking, anyway, this person's brain circuit was not the same as a normal person, and a person couldn't do something like falling twice in a pit.
Han Jinyi didn't pay attention to what Lu Zhixue was thinking, she looked at Yun Zhao after thinking about it and asked, "This idea is good, a vase of flowers on each dining table is really pleasing to the eye."
Song Yunzhao thought to himself that flowers are indeed good-looking, and most of the good-looking things have to pay a price.
"If you like it, stay, if you don't like it, let the palace people go down." Song Yunzhao can only say this, he can't say a word else, the direction of this plot has already changed, what if the plot changes?
"Then I'll have someone take it down." Han Jinyi said directly, she felt that Yun Zhao was not a person who hated flowers, and since she was not allowed to put it, she must have a reason.
She didn't need to know why, she just followed suit.
Han Jinyi really asked the palace people to remove the flowers on her dining table, Lu Zhixue saw that the corners of her eyes twitched, and she was entangled for a while, and she also let people withdraw herself.
Song Yunzhao: ?
Lu Zhixue held her head high and didn't look at Song Yunzhao's expression, Han Jinyi looked a little funny, thinking that Lu Zhixue was being calculated and scared. However, taking care of her face, she didn't say anything, but talked to Yun Zhao about the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship to divert her attention.
Lu Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and looked into the distance,
Just look at a group of palace concubines flying all over the hall like flowers and butterflies, not to mention the strange eye-catching.
When she withdrew her eyes, she didn't want to collide with Qin Xiyue's eyes.
Lu Zhixue: ......
Qin Xiyue smiled lightly at her, Lu Zhixue just wanted to grit her teeth and withdraw her gaze expressionlessly.
She's not a dog, and she wagged her tail when she smiled at her.
Phew!
Qin Xiyue looked at Lu Zhixue and looked away, frowning slightly, she didn't expect her to be so angry, and she didn't expect that she would actually sit down with Song Yunzhao today and talk, things were even trickier than she thought.
"Concubine Zhuang is here! Concubine Wan Niangniang has arrived! Concubine Lu is here!"
As soon as the three concubines arrived, everyone stood up to greet them.
Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "You sisters, don't be polite, sit down."
Song Yunzhao got up and sat down, and she saw An Fangyi also sit down directly.
"Yo, who is this flower?" Concubine Zhuang said with a smile after sitting down.
Qin Xiyue got up and replied, "Hui Niangniang's words were the idea that Chen Guiji came up with, and the concubines and others also thought that flower arrangement was an interesting thing, so they followed everyone to do it."
Chen Guiji got up hurriedly when she heard this, with a happy smile on her face. It's good to show her face in front of the third concubine, so she is calm in the harem, she is naturally unwilling.
"It's a good idea, and the flowers are well arranged." Concubine Zhuang smiled and praised.
Concubine Wan glanced at the flowers on the table with some disgust, looked at Concubine Zhuang's pretentious smile, snorted, and said directly: "This palace has a little uncomfortable nose today, come here, remove the flowers."
As soon as the smile on Chen Guiji's face froze, she became a little cramped and uneasy, for fear that Concubine Wan would be angry with her, so she hurriedly said, "The concubine didn't know that Niangniang was unwell today, and asked Niangniang to forgive her sins."
Concubine Zhuang said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and Concubine Wan is not the kind of person with a narrow temperament, how can she be angry with you."
Concubine Wan was blocked by these words, and looked at Concubine Zhuang and mocked, "Concubine Zhuang is so generous."
Concubine Zhuang smiled lightly, "Concubine Wan has won the award."
Concubine Lu almost rolled her eyes when she watched it from the sidelines, in terms of pretending, there was no one in the palace who could compare to Concubine Zhuang.
Song Yunzhao looked at the surging between the three concubines, and pondered in his heart that this was much more subtle than directly tearing apart in the book, thinking that it was because his family background was not as good as Qin Xiyue, so the third concubine did not have that obvious sense of crisis towards her, so she still left a little dignity in doing things.
Concubine Lu's eyes have been staring at Song Yunzhao, because of the matter in the imperial dining room, she has a headache when she looks at Song Yunzhao now.
Seeing that all the concubines in the harem were gone, but before the emperor arrived, everyone's minds were a little distracted, Han Jinyi and Lu Zhixue returned to their seats when the third concubine came, and Lu Zhixue and Qin Xiyue's positions were next to each other, this was really a bad fate.
Song Yunzhao heard the emperor personally say that the dinner party was coming in the morning, but now there is no one to see, and she guesses that things may be busy, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Thinking like this, she listened to Concubine Wan look at her and ask, "Song Jieyu, do you know when Your Majesty will come?"
Song Yunzhao looked up at Concubine Wan, this person really made her uncomfortable all the time, this kind of thing asked her what to do, and if she wanted to ask, she would go to Taiji Palace to ask.
"The concubine doesn't know." Song Yunzhao directly replied with four words.
"How could you not know? Your Majesty stayed overnight in the Palace of Forgotten Worries last night."
"Niangniang really likes to joke, the emperor is just staying overnight in the Forget Worry Palace, how can he talk to his concubines about such trivial matters." Song Yunzhao knew that Concubine Wan was deliberately staying in the palace of the emperor, this was to make everyone dissatisfied with her, and asking her about the emperor was just a pretense.
"Okay, Concubine Wan is just joking, Song Jieyu doesn't have to take it to heart. Bengong looked at it and asked people to go to Taiji Palace to ask."
Concubine Wan didn't answer, her face was calm and silent.
Concubine Lu was even more tight-lipped and did not praise at all.
Concubine Zhuang sang a one-man show with great difficulty, holding back the fire and ordering people to go to Taiji Palace.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird, Song Yunzhao didn't care, it was
It's tiring to sit dry.
Concubine Zhuang glanced at everyone, and finally asked the dancing girl to come to dance to drive the atmosphere, and she had a face on the holiday, and the emperor would definitely think that they were not doing it well.
Concubine Wan and Concubine Lu have always been willful, and the emperor will definitely not blame them, she is the only one who is responsible.
The singing and dancing prepared by the music bureau was very cheerful, and the hall was lively in an instant, I don't know if it was because of the things at the Qixi banquet, today's dancing girls were dressed very tightly, not to mention showing their waists, that is, their arms were not exposed.
However, the wide-sleeved long skirt dances and has a unique charm.
Soon the people who went to the Taiji Palace came back, walked quickly to the third concubine, and replied, "Niangniang, Your Majesty said that the court affairs are too busy."
Song Yunzhao's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard this, but he came?
The emperor said he was coming in the morning, but if he doesn't come now, something must have happened.
Don't talk about the three concubines, the other palace concubines all have a look of disappointment on their faces, it is not easy to see the emperor on weekdays, and only after a festival can they have the opportunity to appear in front of the emperor, but the emperor is not here during the Mid-Autumn Festival today.
The disappointment on Chen Guiji's face couldn't be suppressed, she had spent all her efforts these days to intervene, just thinking that she could show her face in front of His Majesty today, what was the result?
The three concubines had different expressions, Concubine Wan got up and left directly without concealment, and Concubine Lu also hung up on the affairs of the imperial dining room and left with Concubine Wan.
Concubine Zhuang: ......
One by one, they were all demolished, and it was really difficult for her.
Concubine Zhuang didn't leave, and others didn't dare to go, but An Fangyi and Song Yunzhao were also exceptions.
An Fangyi said goodbye on the grounds that she was unwell, and Song Yunzhao didn't even find an excuse, so she retired directly.
The smile on Concubine Zhuang's face sank completely, but in the end, it didn't stop the two.
Before Song Yunzhao left, the tail of her eyes swept over Qin Xiyue, and she saw that her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she didn't know what she was thinking, obviously today's events were also unexpected by her.
Song Yunzhao went back to the Palace of Forgotten Worries directly, this long day of grooming and dressing was in vain, he took off the gorgeous clothes and heavy buns, changed into a light shirt and skirt, and put on a simple bun, and remembered the moon cakes he made for people, and called Anshun.
"You send the mooncakes to Zhang Maoquan, and ask Zhang Maoquan to present them. Your Majesty is locked in by the court, and the festival is still to be celebrated, so eat mooncakes to suit the occasion."
can't be blind to her hard work in making moon cakes, whether the emperor eats it or not is one thing, and it's another thing for him to know it.
If you do something, you have to ask for credit.
An Shun carried the food box to the Taiji Palace, there were many guards outside the Taiji Palace, and the armor was bright under the moonlight, Anshun didn't dare to look at it, and went directly to Zhang Maoquan with his head down.
It was also a coincidence that Zhang Maoquan had just come out of the main hall, and he saw An Shun at a glance and beckoned to him.
An Shun hurriedly trotted over, "I've seen Mr. Zhang."
"Why are you here?" Zhang Maoquan asked, and as he spoke, he saw the food box in Anshun's hand, "Master Jieyu asked you to send something to the emperor?"
An Shun hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, the moon cakes made by the master himself, specially sent by the slaves and maids to invite the emperor to taste them."
Zhang Mao thought that Song Jieyu had a lot of eyes, the emperor didn't go to the palace banquet, and when he turned around, he sent moon cakes, do you say that the emperor is so worried about it?
He reached out and took the food box, "Master Jieyu, do you have anything else to tell you?"
An Shun immediately said, "The master said that the filling of this mooncake was made by herself, which is very different from previous years."
Zhang Maoquan raised his eyebrows, she is beautiful and ingenious, who will be favored if Song Jieyu is not favored?
If he met such a person, he would definitely like it tightly.
"Okay, you wait here." After Zhang Maoquan finished speaking, he turned around and went to the hall.
An Shun stood aside honestly, but he was slightly relieved in his heart, Manager Zhang asked him to wait, maybe the emperor would ask him to bring a message to the master.
Zhang Maoquan carried the food box into the main hall, Meng Jiuchang saw it at a glance, he lowered his eyes and didn't pay attention to this kid, he didn't move like wood.
Zhang Maoquan didn't expect Meng Jiuchang to avoid it with interest, he stepped forward and saluted,
"Your Majesty, Song Jieyu asked An Shun to send moon cakes."
Feng Yi raised his head when he heard this, "Moon cakes?"
"Yes." Zhang Maoquan immediately said, "Anshun said that this is a moon cake made by Jieyu herself, a hand-mixed filling, please taste your majesty's face."
The tense look on Feng Yi's face eased when he heard this, put down the pen, and then said, "Take it."
Zhang Maoquan immediately stepped forward with a food box.
Meng Jiuchang moved at this time, he soaked the towel and handed it to the emperor, asking the emperor to wipe his hands. After wiping, he handed a dry handkerchief.
Zhang Maoquan: ......
After Meng Jiuchang took the veil, he stepped aside again, quietly not saying a word, as if he had never appeared.
Zhang Maoquan is dead, looking at this posture, it is not easy to replace Meng Jiuchang's position.
Feng Yi opened the food box and saw that there were two large plates with slaps inside, and there were four moon cakes in each plate, which were not big, and they were different from those made in the palace.
He reached out and put one in his mouth and took a bite, there was no sweet and greasy feeling in the mouth, sweet and salty, oily but not greasy, with a strong ham fragrance, which made people's eyes shine.
He picked up the moon cakes in another plate, took a closer look, and didn't see much difference from the appearance, one bite down, the sandy taste rubbed between the lips and teeth, the slightly salty and heavy made the tip of the tongue relish, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the egg yolk to have such a way to eat.
After a busy day of court affairs, I couldn't use it well for lunch, because I had a fight with the courtiers about disaster relief, and I was so angry that I had no appetite for dinner.
Zhang Maoquan was clever this time, and without waiting for Meng Jiuchang to be courteous, he immediately made tea and served it with both hands.
Meng Jiuchang: ......
Careless.
The emperor took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Maoquan and asked, "What about the person who sent the moon cakes?"
"Waiting outside the temple." Meng Jiuchang said with a smile.
"Let him go back and spread the word, and set up the palace to forget his worries."
"Yes." Zhang Maoquan was overjoyed, the matter was done, and Song Jieyu must remember her love.
Song Yunzhao didn't expect to send moon cakes, and he also recruited the emperor, so he hurriedly asked people to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal, and hurriedly entered the dormitory to dress up again.
Isn't that a toss for people?
She thought that the emperor was going to be diligent in government, and her makeup had been removed, and she had to work again when she was ready.
Xiangxue didn't bother, her face was full of joy, she carefully put on makeup for her master, and outside Mama Yu took someone to clean up the table and other things, and a faint voice came in.
Song Yunzhao was also very happy, hey, it was really sweet sadness, let others know that the emperor didn't go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at night but came to the Palace of Forgotten Worries to stay overnight, then her label as a favorite concubine really can't be torn off.
It's so fun to think about.
When Feng Yi stepped into the Palace of Forgetting Worries, he smiled at Song Yunzhao's bright smile, which was brighter than the moon on the fifteenth, and even his heart with his gloomy day brightened up a little.
"So happy?" Feng Yi took Song Yunzhao's hand and walked inside, and asked with a smile as he walked.
Song Yunzhao held the emperor's hand and said in a very happy tone: "Of course I'm happy, every time I see the emperor, I am happy."
Feng Yi was amused.
Meng Jiuchang: ......
The mood is complicated.
The emperor kept a calm face all day, but when he arrived at the Forget Worry Palace, he was laughed at by Song Jieyu in a few words.
Song Yunzhao didn't know what Meng Jiuchang was thinking, so he brought water to the emperor to clean his hands, and then the two sat down at the dinner table.
The Mid-Autumn Festival meal is very rich, it is really different from the morning, and the emperor is really different here.
It's a good holiday, she didn't complain about the idea of destroying the atmosphere, after all, the emperor is already in a bad mood today, so she shouldn't dig a hole for herself.
There were also a few plates of moon cakes on the table, which looked different from the one sent by Song Yunzhao, and the emperor reached out and took one and tasted it, it was still the sweet and greasy taste of previous years, and he put it down with disgust.
Song Yunzhao was happy when he saw it, and said with a serious expression, "Emperor
Yes, the concubine is more attentive to you, I think the people in the imperial dining room are too slack."
I won't sue tonight, but it won't prevent her from giving the imperial dining room some eye medicine.
Feng Yi nodded solemnly, "Concubine Ai has a point."
The corners of Meng Jiuchang's mouth twitched, how did the imperial dining room offend this master, otherwise it would be impossible for Song Jieyu to say such a thing with Song Jieyu's temperament.
Song Yunzhao's face bloomed with a smile, "The emperor tasted this wine-stuffed duck, marinated in rice wine and then put on the steamer, the taste is different from ordinary duck."
Feng Yi sandwiched a piece of the entrance, the rice wine is sweet and fragrant, the duck meat is steamed with wine, the fragrance is fragrant, soft and rotten and boneless, there is no fishy smell, it is indeed very good.
Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor's expression and said, "It's delicious, isn't it?"
Feng Yi nodded, "You can eat."
"If you have nothing to do, just fool around."
Feng Yi's mood relaxed, and put the dishes in the bowl for Song Yunzhao, "You can eat too, don't just take care of me."
Song Yunzhao nodded, and ate the cold lotus root slices that the emperor gave her, and remembered that she loved to eat lotus root, not bad, not bad.
After eating something, Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao, "Why did you come back so early? Isn't there a palace feast today?"
Song Yunzhao glanced at the emperor and said solemnly, "Yes, but the concubines don't like banquets very much, and the emperor is not there, so I feel bored. After Concubine Wan and Concubine Lu left the table, I came back with me."
Feng Yi's eyes sank when he heard this, "Concubine Wan and Concubine Lu left the table?"
"Yes, only Concubine Zhuang stays to preside over the overall situation." Song Yunzhao nodded, then looked at the emperor and asked softly, "Your Majesty, I came back early, aren't you happy?"
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao when he heard this, looked at her with a little apprehension in his eyes, and squeezed her hand, "No, if you don't want to stay, you can come back, it's not a big deal."
Song Yunzhao made a look of relief and said softly, "I watched Concubine Wan and Concubine Lu leave, so I thought about coming back. You know, not many people in this palace like me, and I don't feel comfortable there."
Feng Yi looked stunned when she heard this, and naturally understood why others didn't like her, and only after a pause did she speak: "There is no queen in the palace, and no one will embarrass you."
Song Yunzhao pursed his lips in his heart, and said it easily, although the third concubine is not the queen, but her position is higher than her, and she is not a little shorter when she sees people?
But the emperor said it was okay, what else could she say?
She was promoted to Jieyu in a short time after entering the palace, and there is no hope of promotion this year, hoping to be promoted to another level next year, and she is only one step away from the concubine position.
It's exciting to think about.
She'll have to keep trying.
Song Yunzhao no longer mentioned the matter of the harem, looked at the emperor and asked softly, "Your Majesty, when will my father return to Beijing?"
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao, "Worried about your father?"
Song Yunzhao made a distressed look, "I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes, I'm still a little worried, my father is not too tactful as an official, otherwise he wouldn't have been a county magistrate for so many years and would not be promoted." For such a big event as disaster relief, I'm afraid that he will offend people too much."
The corners of Feng Yi's mouth twitched, "Don't worry."
Song Yunzhao heard that the emperor's words clearly had a deep meaning, and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, is something happening?"
"Ling Zun's temperament is very similar to yours."
Song Yunzhao was confused, how could this be possible, she always liked to be tough in her work, but her father was not.
Since the emperor said this, it must have been something her father had done, so he showed a look of surprise and said, "Your Majesty, you may have some misunderstanding, my father's temperament is much better than mine, did someone deliberately sue him?" You'll have to find out."
If it weren't for Song Yunzhao's overly serious look, Feng Yi would have thought he was joking, and Song Nanzhen, who overthrew the southern officialdom with his own strength, was a good person?
Thinking of the excerpt sent back to Beijing by Dali Siqing, the emperor couldn't face Song Yunzhao's overconfident look in her father for a while.
Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor's face, and was a little bit for a while
Panic, what did her father do?
