Chapter 60: The Queen and the Concubine
'The white-headed palace maid is here, sitting idle and talking about Xuanzong', if everyone has to live in one place for the rest of their lives, they will not dare to resist casually.
"If there is no such thing, it is the same thing, but there is such a thing, but you can't get anything, so what if the people below are uncomfortable? After all, I'm talking about mung bean soup that is served every day, not money. This time, they can't get money, and they can't drink mung bean soup, how frustrating. ”
Sleepless talks lightly, as if he doesn't care much about it.
But Linshui knew that for those low-level palace people and palace maids in the palace, a bowl of cold mung bean soup every day was already a good thing.
So Niangniang didn't want to do anything at all, she just forced the concubine to do something.
If the concubine resolutely refuses to do it, the people below will resent her for not doing it, but she can't get it herself, and she will resent her for not being thorough.
Unless the concubine really does what the queen wants, then in that case, the people below still think that this is the meaning of the queen mother.
So how much can this gratitude fall on the head of the concubine?
Linshui understood.
"Understood?" Sleepless looking at her.
"The mother is clever, the slave is really stupid." Waterfront.
Sleepless sighed softly: "Actually, this is the reason why people who do things are not good, because it is not easy to help, but it is easy to destroy." It's hard to be in charge, that's it. Details, trivial daily life, tens of thousands of people in this palace, how can it be easy to manage? The concubine is also a capable person. It's just that the position is different, the concubine is too capable, so what's the use of the queen? ”
She was talking about the concubine and the queen, not Zhao Wumian and Qi Yuhuan.
She has always understood that it is the identity that is against her, not herself.
It's just the helplessness of living here.
"Don't talk about this, go out for a walk before it gets hot." I want to go out without hearing it, and it's uncomfortable to hold it.
Yingqionglou is busy, and there has been a flood in the south these days.
There will be one every few years, and this year it is not too serious.
The people along the coast were relocated to other places, and the imperial court distributed silver and grain for disaster relief. This busy day is more than ten days, the emperor has lost a lot of weight.
But he seemed more and more energetic, like a tall pine tree.
There has been nothing going on in the harem for more than ten days, and even Concubine Li, who has always been willful, has not bothered His Majesty much. He just sent someone to bring him soup twice.
This is also a common thing.
Yingqionglou has been busy for a while, and it is time to enter the harem.
If it had been before, he would have gone to Concubine Li without hesitation. Now......
"Concubine Li, how are the past few days?"
Lu Zhong replied: "The imperial doctor said that there is nothing wrong, just need Concubine Li's mother to recuperate." ”
"If you go to spread the word, just say that I will accompany Concubine Li to dine at night."
Lu Zhong stood and waited for His Majesty's words below, but His Majesty below just waved his hand.
Lu Zhong thought, Your Majesty, this is ...... Do you only dine with Concubine Li?
Concubine Li can't sleep, but if she specially spreads the word, is it really just a meal?
Concubine Li heard the news here, but she didn't pay so much attention to it, and she was happy to patronize it.
Sleepless heard that the emperor went to Concubine Li's palace, and there was no movement, but he said: "Let's eat cold noodles for dinner, it's really hot today." ”
"Do you want to put an extra iceberg?" Teruka asked.
"That's not necessary, and it's not hot when you sleep. The mind is calm and naturally cool, and it is the hottest when eating. ”
"How about the slaves and maids telling them to fan a little longer during the meal?"
Sleepless nodded: "If you should eat, go eat first, ask the small kitchen to cook more mung bean soup, and everyone in our palace will use it." ”
Mung beans are a good thing, and they can be used by everyone from the emperor and queen mother to the palace maids.
When dinner is served, there are two seasonings for cold noodles, one is shredded chicken and various vegetables, and the other is garlic vinegar and sesame juice.
Sleepless asked them to mix together, and the cold chicken shreds were very delicious, not greasy and flavorful.
I ate this meal comfortably, and brought fragrant tea to Linshui, just to eliminate it when the masters ate something heavy.
Sleepless sighed that this is a good thing, and it took a lot of effort to get too much hospital, but it's a pity that it hasn't been passed on.
So much so that people in later generations ate garlic, and the next day it still lingers.
Sleepless was about to ask someone to untie her hair and write for a while to sleep, when she heard movement outside.
The emperor is coming.
Sleepless was slightly surprised and got up to greet him.
When Yingqionglou came in, she smelled an elegant fragrance, which was the kind of incense that the queen had lit before: "Burn incense at night, and the queen has Yaxing." ”
"I'm going to write for a while, Your Majesty is here." Of course, Sleepless won't ask why you went to Concubine Li and came to me.
Why does Concubine Li's silk hole have any loopholes?
"What to write? I'm with you? ”
"It's okay, then Your Majesty wait a minute, I'll untie my hair first, it's a little uncomfortable." Sleepless Channel.
Ying Qionglou nodded, sat on the side and looked at her: "What does the queen do these times?" I'm too busy to come. ”
"The left is just the daily ones, the flood in the south is solved? Your Majesty is tired, and he looks at the reduction of some weight. "Actually, I didn't pay much attention to sleeplessness, night is not daytime, and I can't see it intuitively.
But whether it's or not, there's no mistake in asking!
If the other party is really thin, you care about him and see it, if the other party is not fat, it is probably a little haggard, so that you can see that he is thin.
Even if I'm not thin or haggard, that is, she really cares about me, and in her eyes I get tired so easily.
"Don't get in the way, I haven't slept enough these days." Yingqiong Corridor.
"It's hot again, and Your Majesty has something in his heart and can't sleep well." Sleepless sighed: "I don't have anything else here today, only mung bean soup, can Your Majesty drink some?" ”
"Okay, just bring it up." Yingqionglou really wants it.
Concubine Li is pregnant, and the fetal gas is not very stable, and her diet is now extremely attentive.
He was also embarrassed to come according to his heart, so he ate too lightly and warmly. Didn't eat well at all.
It's not hungry, but it's great to have a bowl of cold mung bean soup.
"I don't dare to disturb Your Majesty, but I think that in two or three days, if Your Majesty is still so busy, I will go and see Your Majesty. Now that His Majesty is here, it can be seen that things have subsided. Sleepless glanced at Yingqionglou with a smile, and then said to the flowers: "Make it up." ”
It's too hot to write.
After finishing his hair, Sleepless went to the study with the emperor.
Fengyi Palace has a large study room, and the people below have prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone at this time.
"Writing is the most calm, and sometimes when it's hot and upset, just write a few words." Sleepless Channel.
Yingqionglou flipped through the posts she wrote on the table, all of which were hairpins: "This kind of writing is troublesome, why do you like this?" ”
"I can't really say why I like this." Sleepless smiled and pulled out a piece of paper: "Big characters are fine." ”
