Chapter 47 Different Reactions
After a while, Yun Fenghuang, who was dressed hastily, rushed into the main room before the emperor went out: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that you were up, so I came to serve you."
As he spoke, he rolled his sleeves into his armbands, and assumed a posture of serving the emperor for a meal.
After all, Emperor Chunjia was young, after all the tossing and tossing last night, he didn't sleep for a long time, but now he looked energetic. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "There's no need for breakfast, I'll go ahead and have a look first."
"How can this be done?" Yun Fenghuang said hastily, "Either I will bring you some pastries, or I can make some cakes when the time comes."
The emperor gave her a half-smile and said, "Success, let's go."
Yun Fenghuang then gave Xi Le a wink, and Xi Le hurriedly directed the palace staff to take back the breakfast box that had been set out, and chased after him—at this time the imperial concubine had already walked a certain distance, and the emperor did not mention Ji Muzi The others looked at Yun Fenghuang, and saw that although she looked calm, she kept peeking at herself from the corner of her eyes, obviously not really at ease.
He secretly smiled, and said as he walked: "Why is Concubine Ai dressed so simply and plainly today?"
Of course, it is to go ahead with you to see what important news has arrived, so that you don't need breakfast?
Yun Fenghuang thought about this, and then said: "It's always full of jewels, and suddenly I want to show it to Your Majesty in a different way...Does Your Majesty like it?"
The emperor smiled and said, "My concubine is born beautiful, she looks good no matter what."
When he said this, he concentrated on looking at the road, and didn't look at Yunfenghuang at all.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care, and smiled sweetly: "If it's not good-looking, how dare you enter the palace to serve His Majesty?"
The county government office is small, so the effort to say these two sentences has reached the front hall.
The emperor walked in directly, Yun Fenghuang stood still for a while, thinking that the emperor didn't say he couldn't enter anyway, so he followed gracefully.
As a result, as soon as she went out, she was rushing the two people outside to salute: "My minister bows to His Majesty, may my emperor live forever..."
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a jade-colored pleated skirt slowly entering from the corner of his eyes, and the pearl and gold threads on the silk shoes were faintly discernible as he walked. Zuo didn't see it, but Du Langu beside him frowned!
After the two saluted like a rite, the emperor called out in harmony, Sun Yu had already stood up, but Du Langu was still kneeling, just stood up straight, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Ye once told the late emperor that the harem cannot Interfere with the government! I'm afraid that this empress is not right for me to report to you this time!"
Hearing this, the emperor turned his head to look at Yun Fenghuang, who was following him, and was about to speak, but Yun Fenghuang laughed lightly and said: "Magistrate Du misunderstood, you came here in such a hurry early in the morning that Your Majesty got up in a hurry and didn't even have time to eat the prepared breakfast. I was worried about your majesty's health, so I asked someone to bring a food box and chase after him. As for the political affairs you want to talk about, when did I say that I would intervene?"
Without waiting for Du Langu to speak, she immediately continued, "Although I am a woman, I have read sage books when I was young. As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. How can you not know this truth? It is only natural for my palace to be a concubine and serve your majesty regarding the matter of your loyalty to the emperor. Not to mention the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager and the empress dowager, she repeatedly told me to do everything Take care of Your Majesty."
"The two alarmed the holy car before dawn. So far, the water and rice have not entered, so they are loyal to state affairs; and the palace cares about His Majesty, and chased him to the front hall to persuade His Majesty to eat. Is it wrong? Or do you think what you said today? The matter is so urgent that His Majesty is hungry to listen to it?"
Du Langu is upright, but not articulate, so he can't help but be speechless.
Next to him, Sun Yu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I don't know that your Majesty has not eaten yet, so I really deserve death! Please eat your majesty first, and then let me wait to report!"
"Jieyu just likes to make a fuss." The emperor was a little bit dumbfounded, and waved his hands to get them up, "It's not yet the time for me to have breakfast, but I'm not hungry."
Let them report first.
Yun Fenghuang looked at the emperor's face, and said: "Your Majesty has forgotten to sleep and eat for state affairs, not once or twice, I dare not just leave like this."
"Then please Madam Jieyu go and wait later." Du Langu said unceremoniously when he heard the words, "If it is the time when His Majesty usually eats breakfast, and His Majesty has not eaten yet, Madam Jieyu will come to remind you."
The implication is that even if you want to stay and urge the emperor to have a meal, you don't have to stay in the hall and listen - you should go back honestly as a concubine!
This guy is really as unpleasant as the rumors say!
Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly in his heart, without moving his feet: "Is what you are reporting a secret?"
Du Langu frowned: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly: this is not something that Empress Jieyu should know!"
"Absurd!" Yun Fenghuang's face darkened, and he snapped, "If it's a secret, how can I interrupt you rashly even if it's time for His Majesty to eat in a while!? If it's not a secret, Your Majesty didn't say anything, You, a little county magistrate, are talking nonsense here, how is it proper?! Why do you think that His Majesty is a faint king like Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, who would do unruly things for the sake of the palace; or that everyone in the government and the opposition are treacherous? You minister, didn’t you know to remind His Majesty, you have to be a mere seventh-rank sesame official to point fingers?!”
If she only said that Du Langu's official words were high, Du Langu would still be dismissive.
But he thinks that the emperor is a foolish emperor and he thinks that the whole court is turbid and he is alone. Even if Du Langu is taking the route of loyal and lonely ministers, he dare not answer: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the humble minister is only for the people of Wannian County Worrying too much, and where my words collide, I ask your empress to forgive me!"
He bowed his hands and saluted.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang's expression softened a little, and he said calmly: "I am from an ordinary background, and it's not that I don't know the sufferings of the people...Since County Magistrate Du has a heart of loving the people, how can I not be considerate?"
So he stopped entanglement, blessed the emperor, and simply turned around and left.
This made the emperor stare at her back for a while, and then let the two courtiers come up to speak.
And Yun Fenghuang took Xi Le out of the front hall, sat down in the flower hall at the back, and asked Chen Zhu who was accompanying him: "I heard that Du Qinghui's official dialect has an accent, so he doesn't seem to be from Gyeonggi?"
"Your Majesty is really good at hearing!" Chen Zhu said flatteringly, "I heard that Du Qinghui is from the middle of Sichuan, and she was ranked No. 2 in the third year of Chunjia. At that time, the chief examiner was Cui Shangshu. She admired him very much. She wanted to be the champion. After that, he was accepted as a disciple on the spot at the teacher appreciation banquet."
In the third year of Chunjia's reign, the emperor had not yet been in power, so the disciples of the son of heaven were of course just empty names, but they were shared by the ruling families in the temple - Cui Wan, as the examiner, couldn't get the champion he wanted. It's not that Lan Gu lacks talent and learning, it's probably because Cui Wan has never had a political opponent, and can only watch the scholar he likes being overwhelmed.
Yun Fenghuang smiled, and then heard Chen Zhu continue, "As for the envoy of the imperial city, the servants heard that Mr. Sun seems to be from the East China Sea."
"You have a heart." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly. She didn't mention these two people before, but now she just thought of it, and Chen Zhu was able to answer it, which shows that she is usually hardworking.
She praised Chen Zhu a few words, then gave Xi Le some instructions in a low voice.
Xi Le was taken aback before turning around and leaving. After a while, he brought another food box.
After a while, it was time for the emperor to have breakfast, so Yun Fenghuang asked Chen Zhu to call the servant in front of the emperor to inquire.
The waiter came out immediately after entering, and said: "Your Majesty said that you have just finished speaking, and you will come to eat."
Yun Fenghuang gave a "hmm" and pointed to the food box that Xi Le brought over later: "Those two foreign ministers rushed over in a hurry, probably because they didn't have breakfast, so take this away and let them use it in the front hall." Let’s go after that.”
Seeing the servant hesitate, "You just take it in and ask His Majesty, if His Majesty refuses, if you take it back again, will this Palace still blame you?"
"Yes." The waiter stepped forward to take the food box.
After a while he followed the emperor back to the flower hall, the food box in his hand was gone, the emperor looked at Yun Fenghuang with a half-smile and said, "My concubine is really thoughtful."
"It's just an order." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Is Your Majesty hungry? I just asked the small kitchen to make some pancakes. It smells strange. Your Majesty should try it."
While talking, Yan Yin had brought the two servants to check the breakfast again, the emperor then sat down and began to eat under her service, he only tasted the pancakes, he didn't say whether it was delicious or not, but laughed Said: "I still feel that the cakes made by Aifei herself are softer."
Yun Fenghuang wondered if the taste of pastries and pancakes could be the same?
But there was a look of surprise on the face: "Really? The concubine will do it for His Majesty later!"
Well, it seems that I have to show my face in the small kitchen this time... If she can sit in the yard for a while before someone brings a recliner, it should be all right.
She is not being lazy, but also for the emperor's benefit: if it is her own cooking skills, the emperor can eat it, unless she is Yuan Niangniang.
When they were chatting here, the front hall Sun Yu and Du Langu were in a turmoil, and there was only a mess of cups and plates left in a moment. These palace people cleaned up, because the emperor told them before leaving that they can go on their own after eating, so there is no need to say goodbye at this moment , then bowed in the direction of the flower hall, then turned and walked out the door.
"Master, I heard rumors from the imperial capital that Mao Jieyu is spoiled and domineering, but it doesn't look like it today?" Supervision, so Sun Yu and Du Langu had nothing to talk about, so they split up and left.
Du Langu is clean and honest, and his mount is no more than a big green donkey. After running all night, he felt sorry for the strength of his feet, so he personally led it and let it walk slowly behind.
His bookboy carried things for him, followed behind, and when he walked to a secluded place, he couldn't help but say, "Half of the meals that Mao Jieyu gave you just now are from our hometown; the other half, it looks like Mrs. Sun likes to eat. It can be seen that this Jieyu is quite careful."
The key is to be willing to be careful.
Du Langu sneered: "You are the son of my family, and I have come to the Imperial Capital with me in the past few years, and you have seen a lot of things in the world, why are you still shallow-sighted, and you were bought after a few bowls of food?"
"The little one doesn't mean that." The book boy hurriedly said, "The little one just heard that Mao Jieyu is very popular in the palace, but she still takes care of the master's taste, which shows the master's reputation! The young one can serve the master, it is really a lifetime Blessings that have been cultivated!"
"To Mao Jieyu, this is just a matter of one sentence. If you say this, you think too highly of your master." Du Langu shook his head slightly and said, "Besides, I am waiting for a foreign minister to ask her to ban her." What does the concubine take care of? It can be seen that Mao Jieyu has never been wronged by rumors, and she is indeed not a law-abiding person. If she has time, she has to speak to His Majesty again. There are many virtuous concubines in the palace. It's better to stay far away."
At this moment, Sun Yu, who also got the meal, touched his chin and said to his confidant: "In the future, pay more attention to the Xuanqing Palace!"
What kind of attention method should a confidant ask for instructions, is it the kind of attentiveness, or the kind of surveillance?
Sun Yu scolded with a smile: "Idiot! I just followed Lao Tzu to Shengjia, didn't you all see it? Mao Jieyu had been talking for a long time, but His Majesty didn't interrupt her, and she made up her own mind to deliver meals to foreign ministers, and His Majesty agreed... ...How do you pay attention to this? How do you pay attention?!"
The confidant muttered: "Didn't you say before that Your Majesty seems to want to reuse Du Qinghui, let us be more polite to Du Qinghui recently, but today that Du Qinghui is not polite to Mao Jieyu at all..."
"How can Du Qinghui be the same as us?" Sun Yu didn't think so, "He is a minister who passed the examination of Zheng'er and the Eight Classics, and he has Cui Shangshu as his backer. With his current temperament, as long as he is loyal to his errands and serves the people with his heart, he will rise to the top. It's all a matter of course, so naturally you don't need to care about the feelings of the harem. But who are we?"
To put it bluntly, they are the emperor's personal servants. Can they follow the emperor's preferences all the time?
