Chapter 551: The Blessing of My Life
"Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen Mother has arrived!"
At this moment, the eunuch at the door suddenly made a sound, and everyone present immediately knelt down as if they were conditioned.
But a loud voice stopped them in time.
"Okay, don't kneel, don't say goodbye, today is a special day, and you are all wrapping dumplings now, with noodles on your hands, it's not good to say goodbye, and it's hard to kneel!"
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
Zhu Gaoyao took Zhang Yingzhen's hand and slowly walked into the courtyard of the imperial dining room.
At this time, the ministers who were kneeling had just stood up, and they were looking at Zhu Gaojiao, engrossed, hoping to find an opportunity to talk.
Zhu Gaoyao looked at the officials in the room, and then looked at the eunuchs and palace maids standing in the courtyard, and he knew it in his heart.
Those who can be in the house are not those officials of the third or fourth rank of the imperial court, or those who can be by their side at any time and talk to themselves.
And those who were able to linger near the doorways of the houses were ordinary officials.
As for these sitting on the outermost side, they are the most inconspicuous palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
Seeing Zhu Gao's arrival, they didn't even dare to take a breath at the moment, and the faces of several palace maids were even blue, I don't know if they were frozen or holding their breath.
Compared with those who were suffering from hunger and cold at this time, in this cold weather, they could only wear those thin clothes, they were lucky for the poor peasants, but compared to the children of the high-ranking officials in the palace, they were unlucky.
Zhu Gao's eyes swept over and found a few different people in the crowd.
"Why are you two standing outside, isn't it cold?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is wearing a lot today, not cold, but a little stuffy in the house!"
"The same goes for Wechen!"
Su Wu, Yang Shiqi, and Lord Feng said one after another, they were wearing heavy clothes at this time, and they had obviously made plans for a long time, and the two officials who came up, their clothes were slightly thin, and they were shivering in the cold weather outside.
"Haha, it's a coincidence, I'm wearing a thick dress today, and I happen to be active outside, so it's a little hot when I get inside!"
Zhu Gaoyi smiled, and came to the opposite side of Yang Shiqi and the five of them.
"The palace is also a little thick, so it's inconvenient to enter the house, so accompany Your Majesty and you to make dumplings on this bread!"
"That's good!"
Zhu Gao laughed, Yang Shiqi and Su Wu also laughed out loud, and the two ordinary officials were on the side, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, they could only put on an expression that was more ugly than crying.
This expression couldn't help but make Zhang Yingzhen, who had already laughed once, laugh again.
"By the way, what about the two of you!"
The two officials, hearing the queen's sudden question, were all smart.
"The two of us ......"
What? What was the queen asking me just now?
At this moment, they are so nervous that they are sluggish, and even the problems that they can usually deal with can be easily dealt with have to think about it for a long time at this time.
"The two of us are not cold...... Not cold, very warm! ”
"It's really not cold, we're warm now, haha!"
"But this palace looks like you're choking on the cold!"
Hearing this, the two officials' bodies, which were already shivering from cold, instantly became half cold.
The queen mother meant to drive the two of us away.
Go, go, do they dare not go? It's just that his feet are frozen and stiff, and his whole body is trembling, and his legs can't use his strength, and he can't even stand up.
"Okay, okay, don't make fun of them for being slow, since they want to be here, it's also their right, just let them stay here!"
"Let's hurry up and make dumplings with me, you see that Master Feng has already reported dozens of them, and Su Wu and Yang Shiqi have also made more than a dozen, look at the two of us!"
"Okay, then let's not say anything today, let's make dumplings together!"
"Look at the two of them now, it's pitiful, by the way, wrap theirs too!"
"Haha!"
Although this is Zhu Gao's ridicule, other officials, even if they are first-class officials, want to be ridiculed by Zhu Gao, but they still don't have this opportunity and qualifications!
The other officials and palace maids and eunuchs also sat down when they saw this scene, and concentrated on wrapping dumplings without saying a word.
Didn't you see what the queen said? Today I'm here to concentrate on making dumplings! Now His Majesty and the Queen are working together, otherwise Your Majesty would not have given a part of his rights to the Queen!
……
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy about today's events?"
After parting ways with Yang Shiqi and Su Wu, Zhu Gaojiao and Zhang Yingzhen returned to the palace.
"It's nothing, it's just that I underestimated the atmosphere of this officialdom!"
Zhu Gaoyi sighed a little, this kind of atmosphere has lasted for thousands of years, even if it is two thousand years, three thousand years later, there will be no change, and it will even intensify and form a special culture!
Even if you want to change, there is no way or opportunity!
"Hey, what do you think the concubine thinks, hasn't this always been like this, even if you want to change it, you can change it for a while, but you can't change it for a lifetime!"
"And you can't control them in private!"
After being counted down by Zhang Yingzhen, Zhu Gaozhen gradually looked away.
"I understand all these truths, haha, it seems that I am still too naïve."
"I originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but I didn't expect that these officials would be the same no matter where they went!"
This is too self-inflicted!
"I wanted to say a lot of things, but I was forced to hold them in my stomach there!"
Zhu Gaoyao's complaint can be regarded as letting Zhang Yingzhen see clearly what Zhu Gaozhen is thinking.
"You, don't think about it here, if you have anything to say, just tell your concubine!"
Because of the pressure of the foreign clans, the internal affairs are now very embarrassing, and the potatoes in the back mountains are all lost, so the pressure on Zhu Gaojiao is very great now, and he needs to find a place to ease.
"Although the concubine is just a woman, she can also share your worries and solve problems for Your Majesty!"
"If you have anything to say, if you have anything, don't hold it in your stomach every day, the concubine is your wife, your queen, it stands to reason that these things are also what the concubine should share for you!"
Zhang Yingzhen comforted Zhu Gao, and her affectionate eyes reminded Zhu Gaozhen of her who had snubbed her at home because of the war before.
At this time, the guilt in my heart deepened a little,
"Concubine Ai, it is really the greatest blessing in my life that I can marry you!"
Zhang Yingzhen couldn't stand this kind of love talk the most, and when Zhu Gaozhen said this, her cheeks fluttered, like a ripe shrimp shell.
"Tonight, let's have a long talk......" (end of this chapter)
