I miss the imperial food in the palace, I miss the warm and soft bedding in the palace, and I miss the lovely people in the palace who are intriguing and gentle in front of him.

Like now, he can only surround a quilt that is not broken, but it is definitely not comfortable, and endure the cold wind in the dark room.

I don't know how his brain ran out with a twitch at that time, is it really that life is too good, so that he can't see himself clearly?

But when he didn't even have a dark room, Li Xun missed the good days in the palace even more.

Standing in the cold wind, with a dozen carriages behind him and the equally shivering guards in the background, Li Xun only felt that his life was gloomy.

I just hated the house that was not warm and bright, and now I can't live in it, so should I let him spend the night in the cold wind this big night?

The guards quickly filled the charcoal basin in the carriage where Li Xun was sitting, and covered the carriage tightly on all sides with thick quilts, and soon the carriage was warmed, and then helped Li Xun, who was still standing in the wind, into the carriage.

The heat on his face made Li Xun recover some of his thinking ability, and he began to think about life while holding the hand stove.

Although He Lou was far from sending anyone to persuade him to return to the palace, it was the month of Layue, and he saw that the New Year was coming soon, and he did not have no reason to return to the palace, just like saying that the New Year was over, wouldn't it be a good excuse to go back to the palace to reunite with the Empress Dowager's family? Why do you have to look at He Louyuan's meaning?

Mingcheng is now the emperor and his son, who can stop him, the emperor, from going home? Besides, apart from He Louyuan's guy, who would dare to raise objections to Emperor Taishang's return to the palace? Even He Louyuan's ridicule and cynicism can be ignored.

As a result, Li Xun's desire to return to the palace became stronger and stronger, and he was so strong that he couldn't wait for dawn, so he asked the guards to drive the carriage to the palace.

Because of the cold weather, he has not bathed for many days, he not only misses the warm room, comfortable bed, but also misses the hot and fragrant bath, this time he must wash the bubbles well, and wash his body from the inside out.

It's just that the courtyard where he lives is too far away from the palace, almost passing through a capital, and when they rush to the nearest palace gate in a carriage, it is not early, although it is not dawn.

In front of the palace gate, I saw a number of carriages waiting, and several teams of imperial city guards checked the waist plate in front of the door, and those who checked it correctly could drive the carriage into the palace.

Li Xun couldn't think of what these people were doing for a while, so he said with a clear guard: "Long live Hui, these are the vehicles that are responsible for the procurement of the palace every day." ”

In the past, Li Xun spent money only on interest, and never thought about how difficult it was to earn money from the treasury, but after suffering outside the palace these days, Li Xun finally realized that it was not easy to make money.

When he saw that the entire palace needed to purchase so many materials in one day, Li Xun was deeply distressed, he couldn't imagine that there were so many daily expenses in the palace, how much did he have to raise for idle food? It seems that he has to talk about this when he goes back, and all the useless people will be sent out, but he can't let Xiao Mingcheng develop a poor and extravagant temperament.

Let the guards drive the carriage to the back of the line, waiting to check and enter the palace, if it is not for the reluctance to 'first' the news of the emperor's return to the palace to spread too quickly, it is also afraid that He Louyuan will send people to embarrass again, Li Xun did not want to directly reveal his identity and enter the palace.

It is not difficult for them to enter the palace left and right, not only his guards have identity waist cards because they have to enter the palace almost every day before, but Li Xun also brought a waist card before leaving the palace.

Finally, after more than half an hour, it was their turn to be in the carriage, Li Xun stood outside the car shivering, and entered the palace gate, except for those whose identities were really special or who were allowed to enter the palace in a sedan chair, they all had to walk with their feet, and since Li Xun didn't want to reveal his identity, of course it was no exception.

Finally mixed in the car and entered the palace, because the carriage they were driving was full of ingredients, which did not arouse anyone's suspicion, but it was not easy to get out of the delivery team in front of everyone, so Li Xun and the guards were sent to the small courtyard next to the imperial dining room where the ingredients were stacked because the car they sent was full of ingredients.

The chief manager of the imperial dining room inspected the cars one by one, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, what was this sent? In addition to a cart of dry goods that are rotten and frozen vegetables, I have long known that buying this piece is a fat shortage, and many eunuchs who buy it will be shoddy, as long as it is not too much, it can ensure that the emperor and several important masters in the palace eat good ingredients, and the rest of him will turn a blind eye.

But now look at this cart of things, how can there be thousands of taels of silver, they are all rotten vegetables and dried vegetables, and I don't know which dirty people bought them, anyway, he doesn't bother to make such cheap ingredients.

Let's talk to Princess Ningyuan when I turn around, don't you bully the emperor when he is young, these minions are all thinking about their own small treasury, if it goes on like this, won't the palace become more and more smoky?

And the most important thing is that someone has done it so blatantly and without scruples, that he didn't even say hello to him, obviously didn't take him seriously, which was the most unacceptable to him.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had a heavy burden on the head of the imperial dining room, and his face became longer and longer, and he also had a cold face at the guards who delivered the goods, "Where did you send these ingredients from?" What are they? Is this kind of thing for our family to eat for the Queen Mother, or for the Queen Mother, or for the Emperor? ”

Seeing that the chief manager had a calm face, the guard's eyes were aimed at Li Xun, and as a result, Li Xun was staring at the direction of the imperial dining room with a pair of eyes, and the salivating appearance made the guards blush when they saw it.

Although the previous days were a little harder, they were not hungry for the emperor, why did they let him show such a useless look? However, the smell coming from this imperial dining room is really fragrant.

The guards smelled it carefully, and there was abalone porridge, as well as the fragrance of xiaolongbao, when he was waiting for Li Xun in the palace, Li Xun also rewarded them a lot to eat, so they could distinguish these delicacies when they smelled it, and when they thought of the taste of those delicacies, their saliva flowed out without holding back.

Quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and saw the disdainful and proud look of the chief manager of the imperial dining room, guarding the black line, he had also seen it, and he had lost this adult because he hadn't eaten good food for too long.

But when I think about it, compared to the emperor who doesn't know how to hide it, he is nothing.

The chief steward waited for a while, and saw that the guard, who was obviously the leader, did not answer his question, but only cared about coveting the food in the imperial dining room, and was angry, "You person, our family is talking to you, are you deaf?" We can't accept these things that you have sent, and whoever asks you to send them in, you will go to whomever they want. ”

The guard remembered what the chief steward told him, when he was waiting in the palace in the past, he also knew some inside stories, except for those important masters, the unfavored concubines and palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were not radish cabbage and tofu in winter?

It's just that the dried vegetables are still later, and now they dislike the dried vegetables, thinking that the emperor has returned to the palace, they don't have to swallow their anger as before, and although these dried vegetables are not good, but they don't ask for anyone's money, why suffer from others' anger?

Look at the side of the same delivery of food vehicles to come, although the goods on the car may not be very good, at least look decent, neatly placed, not like their car looks like how many rolls on the ground, and then pick it up, at that time the waist plate was straight, staring at the general pipe: "It's almost on the line, besides, we didn't make any money, the goods were sent in, it is difficult to let us pull back." ”

The chief steward originally thought that according to the previous practice, he would have to stuff him with a few pieces of silver at this time, and he would open and close his eyes again, but he didn't want this guard to dare to talk back to him, all these years in the palace, except for the masters, who looked at him with a respectful face? When did you receive this? At that time, the temper came up, "Why don't you pull it back?" As far as you have the things in the car, if you dare to defraud the palace, our family will let people beat you and drive you out, and you have to bear it. ”

The guards seemed to feel the anger of the chief manager, thinking about giving in first, and talking about it later, but before he could say anything, the chief manager gave an order, and a group of little eunuchs in the imperial dining room came out, as well as those who were handling pots and spoons.

Because there have been major events in the imperial dining room a few years ago, especially before the Chinese New Year, the guards here are more strict, that is, the palace guards have sent a lot, and the imperial chefs are all waiting for it, for fear that the events of the year will happen again.

If you really talk about skills, you can be taken out of the palace by Li Xun to protect, these guards are all skilled, but in the palace, they are not good at injuring the unwitting eunuchs and guards, and because they can't bring weapons when they enter the palace, the weapons they wore before are put in a carriage, and the two guards stay outside to take care of them, just wait for the emperor to return to the palace, and then they go out to get them.

But they are not easy to do it, people have no pressure on them to do it at all, and there are bright and bright big knives in their hands, if they really dare to resist, it doesn't matter if they are killed.

What's more, Li Xun said before that he should keep a low profile when entering the palace, and try not to let King Ningyuan's people know that he, the emperor, returned to the palace.

As a result, the guards who didn't dare to do anything, together with Li Xun, who was very helpless when he smelled the food, were blasted out of the palace, and even the waist card on his body was taken back.

And when the situation calmed down, the chief manager of the imperial dining room, who consciously made a contribution, was a little stunned when he held the waist card that the eunuchs had just sent.

The waist card is real, there is absolutely no problem, but look at the words on the waist card is not a waist card issued to the people who deliver goods outside the palace, the big royal word in the middle, but not anyone outside can send it.

Listening to the little eunuch next to him talk about who looked familiar, as if he was who, the chief manager felt a little chill down his spine, and he seemed to be in trouble!
