Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 64

The matter of Lu Meiren and Tian Baolin was discussed in the palace for a few days, and it was forgotten by everyone like the wind had passed without a trace. Jiang Man sometimes thought of Lu Meiren's bright and flamboyant appearance when she first met Lu Meiren, and just felt It seems like a lifetime away.

On the third day of March, Jiang Man received a message from Jiang Fu from outside the palace. She had already arrived in Fuzhou, and she would go to sea from Fuzhou Port on the sixth day of March. The letter said that he was going to sea this time. Yan Wenhua will also go with her, so Jiang Man doesn't have to worry.

Jiang Man didn't say anything after reading the letter, but asked Lianqiu and Wandong to prepare their pens and ink, and began to copy the "Diamond Sutra" with their own hands to pray for their sister.

When Emperor Yong'an arrived at Yufu Garden, Jiang Man was still copying Buddhist scriptures. Emperor Yong'an walked in without anyone reporting. Because Jiang Man was too attentive, Emperor Yong'an stood beside Jiang Man for a long time. I know, Jiang Man didn't realize who was standing beside her until Jiang Man's wrist felt sore due to the long time of copying, and she put down her pen to move her wrist.

"Emperor?" Jiang Man exclaimed a little.

Emperor Yong'an smiled and praised, "The handwriting is good." Then he asked: "Why does Aifei suddenly think of copying Buddhist scriptures?"

Jiang Man smiled and replied: "I received a letter from my sister today, saying that I will be preparing to go to sea in the near future. I can't help you with other things, so I thought about copying a volume of scriptures by myself, so as to bless my sister." Have a safe trip."

Emperor Yong'an heard the words and comforted Jiang Man: "Don't worry too much, my concubine. I have arranged guards and experienced crew to escort Mrs. Yan, and they will return safely."

After finishing speaking, Yong An Ding asked again: "Does Aifei believe in Buddhism? How come I haven't smelled sandalwood on Aifei on weekdays."

Jiang Man shook her head and said without guilt: "I don't believe in Buddhism. I think that people in the world pray to Buddha just for peace of mind. What I'm doing now is also for peace of mind."

Emperor Yong'an laughed, "My concubine is sober."

Jiang Man tilted her head and asked Emperor Yong'an: "What about the emperor? Does the emperor believe in Buddhism, or do he believe in Buddhism?" It seems that most of the royal family in the Jing Dynasty believed in Buddhism.

Emperor Yong'an said: "I believe in the Buddha and believe in it. I believe in the Buddha when I think the Buddha is right, and I believe in the Tao when I think the truth is right."

Ginger Man: ...

Doesn't this mean that you don't believe in anything, but you believe in yourself?
However, as an emperor, it is a good thing to neither believe in Buddhism nor to believe in yourself, so that you will not be fooled by monks or Taoist priests.

The two discussed for a while about believing in Buddhism and Taoism. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Mankang saw that Emperor Yong'an had no intention of leaving, so he knew that Emperor Yong'an was going to have dinner in Yufu Garden today.

Jiang Man also had meals with Emperor Yong'an a few times during this period, although she didn't know the taste of Emperor Yong'an very well, but she could probably tell that Emperor Yong'an's meals were bland and didn't like sweets.

Jiang Man arranged for someone to go to the dining room to prepare dinner, while she continued to talk with Emperor Yong'an.

Now when the people of Yufu Court go to the dining room to receive meals, even if they don’t give money to the eunuchs in the dining room, none of the big and small eunuchs in the dining room dare to treat them slowly. Yufuyuan keeps a copy, which is the benefit of being favored.

But Jiang Man is not short of money, and does not let Xiaodouzi and the others put on airs when they are outside, so the benefits that Xiaodouzi should give these people are not too small, which makes the eunuchs in the dining room feel nervous every time they see Xiaodouzi He narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"My father-in-law Xiaodouzi is here. What would Jiang Jieyu want to eat today? The dining room has fresh spring bamboo shoots and fresh mandarin fish that I just bought from outside today. Do you want to make a dish for Jiang Jieyu with spring bamboo shoots and mandarin fish. A young eunuch in the dining room saw Xiaodouzi coming from afar and asked with a smile on his face.

"Then please trouble my eunuch. In addition to the dishes made of spring bamboo shoots and mandarin fish, we, Jieyu, would like a few more dishes with a lighter taste. It is enough to make up enough four meat and four vegetables." Xiaodouzi said, taking the food box and silver Handed it to the little eunuch together.

The little eunuch accepted it with a smile, and asked casually, "Does Jiang Jieyu have any guests today?"

Jiang Man doesn't like wasting money, and usually eats by herself, and it's always enough to have two meat and two vegetables. Today, the amount of dishes has doubled, and the little eunuch probably has guests.

Xiaodouzi didn't hide it either, and said, "The emperor is here."

This kind of thing can't be concealed, how many people are watching the emperor's whereabouts every day, and there is no need to hide it when the emperor stays in Yufuyuan for a meal, let them know that the emperor will also have a meal in Yufuyuan. I will also pay more attention to food.

The little eunuch didn't dare to be negligent when he heard that the emperor wanted to eat in Yufuyuan, so he hurriedly explained to the person in charge of the spoon what Xiaodouzi said, and also told the person in charge of the spoon who the meal was for.

Xiaodouzi waited in the dining room for less than a quarter of an hour, and all the four meat and four vegetarian dishes were packed into the food box.

"Elder Douzi, do you want a villain to help you carry it back?" a little eunuch said courteously.

Xiaodouzi shook his head and refused, "Don't bother Eunuch, I can do it myself."

When Xiaodouzi went back with the food box, Jiang Man and Emperor Yong'an were watching the fish in front of the big tank in the corner of Yufu Garden.

Jiang Man looked at the koi swimming around in the tank and Emperor Yong'an and said, "When I moved into Yufu Garden, I had these two koi in this tank, but at that time there were only two koi. It’s a little bit big, but these two koi carps can’t be kept in this tank in the past few years. Every time I see these two koi carps, I think why I didn’t raise other fish at that time. The fish is so fat, it must taste very good."

The corner of Emperor Yong'an's mouth twitched, and he said with a teasing smile: "The dining room is short of concubine?"

Jiang Man defended in a low voice: "Although the dining room does not lack fish for my concubines, I just feel that the fish I raise may taste different from the fish bought by the dining room."

"When Chenqie was young, I raised a rabbit. Chenqie fed the rabbit and bathed it every day. After raising it for about half a year, one day the rabbit somehow went to the kitchen of the mansion. The newcomer in the kitchen The cook didn't know that the rabbit was raised by me, and seeing that the rabbit was fat and fat, he thought it was bought for food, so he killed the rabbit immediately."

"By the time the concubine knew about it, the rabbit had already been turned into a dish and served on the concubine's table. The concubine was crying while eating a piece of rabbit meat, but the concubine stopped crying immediately after taking a bite. That rabbit meat is really delicious."

Emperor Yong'an laughed when he heard it, "Aifei, you are so interesting."

Jiang Man also laughed, "So from then on, the concubine felt that the ones I raised might taste better."
