Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 47
"Yesterday's grilled venison was too greasy, Sanmao, you can get me a bowl of Sihe soup for breakfast, it's not troublesome to cook, use five servings of noodles, four servings of sesame seeds, fennel and salt to fry separately , and then crush it, just wash it out with boiling water when drinking, or you can make more, and I will drink a bowl before breakfast in the future, so as not to hurt my stomach again."

The third cat's ears were straight, and he wrote down the recipe in his heart: "My lord, this Sihe soup is not troublesome to make, but your lord, you will be back from the Compassionate Ning Palace in a while, why don't you take the hawthorn first?" Did you eat the meatball?"

Looking down at Sanmao who was arranging the corners of her robes, Shen Shiqing said with a smile:
"Usually, I only stop at the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, but today may not be the case."

Yiji came over with warm tea, she took a sip and put down the cup, then took a warm handkerchief and wiped her hands again.

The Four Mouse remained silent, put down the veil and fetched a leather belt to tie it on for His Majesty.

Looking over from the front of the three imperial eunuchs, Shen Shiqing said slowly: "Er Gou received sixty shovels, which frightened you all to be much quieter."

The three cats shrank their necks slightly.

Ergou was beaten with a cane the night before yesterday. While the emperor was in bed, Yiji called all the eunuchs who served in front of the imperial court to the court of the chief of ceremonies, and Ergou was stripped of his trousers. Take a beating.

Yiji also disliked the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies and did not dare to use his strength, so he directly asked Sishu to transfer Jin Yiwei, who was executing the execution, from Dongchang.

Seeing Ergou's butt being beaten into rotten meat, Sanmao was so frightened that his hair exploded.

Among the four great eunuchs, one was chosen because he was literate and intelligent, and was chosen to serve the emperor by his side when he was a teenager.The little mouse of Sishu looks ordinary, but in fact, he has been a fan in Dongchang since he was ten years old, and he came to Yuqian step by step through the blood of countless people.Er Gou was the most remarkable of them. He made great achievements when he killed Zhang Wan. Not only did he leap from a sweeping eunuch to a ceremonial supervisor, the emperor even specially rewarded him with a house for him to settle down.Compared with the three of them, his cat is still a cub and only knows to play with the emperor. It has been almost 20 years now, and he has no writing in his mind, only playing, and has no achievements in his hands, only a little service Human ability and the culinary skills taught by the emperor at the beginning.

Even Ergou can be beaten like that, then if he makes a mistake, he will definitely be beaten into a dead cat by the emperor!
"My lord, this servant is really frightened." Sanmao smiled on her tender and round face, "Later, this servant thought about it, and this servant has no father, no mother, no family, and is tired of eating and drinking. Well, I only have the emperor in my heart. Thinking about it this way, the servant will feel safe."

These words reveal a bit that Ergou is greedy for money because he has a family business outside the palace.

The silent four mice glanced at the three cats, only seeing a smiling cat face.

Shen Shiqing looked at the neatly dressed young emperor in the bronze mirror, and said, "According to you, it was wrong for me to let Ergou settle outside the palace?"

Yiji took the hat and put it on for the emperor, and the three cats also took off the yellow satin cloud water pattern cape for the emperor from the smoke cage, and covered the emperor carefully.

"My lord, this servant thought about it carefully, probably because this servant has no family and no job, so I just want to be a funny slave for my lord, and live my life by hiding beside his dragon boots, unlike Ergou, who has a A heart to make contributions. In the final analysis, the slaves are cats and dogs tied to the hands of the emperor, and the emperor beats and scolds them, and the slaves learn to be well-behaved."

Yiji fixed the hat for "Emperor Zhaode" and glanced at Sanmao over the emperor's shoulder.

Sanmao looked timid and fearful, and was mean on weekdays, but at this time he was able to intercede with Ergou.

Of course, Shen Shiqing also understood what San Mao meant, not only reminding her of Er Gou's previous achievements, but also emphasizing Er Gou's availability.

"Hmph, I let you say everything. It's alright, Ergou will be able to go to the ground in two days, let him come and speak in front of me."

When walking to the warm pavilion, she raised her foot and kicked Sanmao's round buttocks.

The sixteen heated sedan chairs carved with dragon patterns were slowly lifted up, and the four mice following behind looked back, and saw the three cats covering their buttocks with both hands, happily walking towards the small dining room.

Long Yu went all the way to the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Usually, there would be a big eunuch or female official standing here. The emperor didn’t have to get off the sedan chair. He went to pass the message that the emperor came to pay his respects. Said "The queen mother has ordered, your majesty is busy with government affairs, so there is no need to ask for peace." At this time, the emperor would ask the eunuch a few words in order to show his filial piety, such as how the queen mother ate and slept well. I can go back.

But today, there is not even a big eunuch in front of the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

In front of the deserted palace gate, a few withered and yellow leaves curled in the air with the wind.

Yiji knew at a glance that this was the empress dowager trying to show face to the emperor, and he couldn't help but feel tight.

Ever since the emperor came to the throne, although they are not very harmonious with the most honorable mother and son in the world, Yiji knows in his heart that the emperor has some affection for the empress dowager. The face of the underground emperor, I am afraid that after running for two days, he will not be able to spell out the whole body of that person.

"My lord...it's windy today, why don't we go back earlier."

"No need."

The emperor's warm sedan chair was extremely spacious, with not only soft chairs but also small tables. Shen Shiqing looked at the memorials spread out on it, and said slowly: "Yiji, ask someone to bring some hand stoves, you guys don't freeze outside. on."

A chicken is about to cry.

But not touched.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager..."

"The empress dowager is getting old, and it's rare for her to sleep a little deeper. It's okay for my son to wait outside."

Shen Shiqing calmly put the approved memorial aside.

She doesn't know how long she can be the emperor, but she has more and more things to do.Before she changed back, the investigation of the Taipu Temple had to be generalized, so that even if Zhao Surui changed her body back, she couldn't stop it at will. This was the little trace she Shen Shiqing wanted to leave in this world.

Every three days, Zhao Surui nagging in her heart for an hour is already annoying enough, she does not allow anyone to stand in her way with her identity.

In front of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the cold wind was howling, and Yiji put his hands in his sleeves, looking a little nervous.

Yesterday, the emperor still cared about the Empress Dowager's face until the end, although he took back the cosmetics from the Empress Dowager's hand, and left the money and gold Buddha sent by the Empress Dowager, but if the Emperor hadn't kept his hand, Just put the blame on Shou Chenghou alone, the empress dowager has already become the demon queen who harmed the country in the writings of the censors, how can she have the heart to play such a narrow mind here?
Feeling sorry for the emperor, Yiji took a deep breath and glanced at Sishu standing at the end of the sedan chair.

The four mice noticed his gaze, looked at him, and frowned.

A rooster and a mouse met each other's eyes, said nothing, and said everything.

After a few breaths, the four mice quietly disappeared, and the chicken glanced at the closed curtain of the car door, and then at the closed palace door of the Compassionate Ning Palace, lowered its eyes, to hide its rare hostility.

A moment later, another guard of honor on the sidewalk came to the door of the Palace of Compassion and Ning against the cold wind.

Before the sedan chair came to a complete stop, Queen Lin Miaozhen had already jumped down.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Lin Miaozhen didn't care so much, she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and entered Long Yu: "Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself anyway."

Seeing the anxious look on Lin Miaozhen's face, Shen Shiqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to her with a smile:
"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

How could Lin Miaozhen be in a hurry?
She "married" to Zhao Surui for two things, one was that she could think about Zhao Surui quietly, and the other was to stabilize the harem for Zhao Surui. To put it bluntly, she was filial to the queen mother every day , so that the Queen Mother can save Zhao Surui from tormenting, and let him do what he wants to do.

"This morning, my mother spared my greetings. I thought that my mother wanted to understand that you saved her face. I didn't expect that she was here to deal with you. If you knew this, you would tell me earlier, and I will come with you." ah."

After drinking tea, Lin Miaozhen still couldn't swallow the breath in her heart.

Seeing that "Zhao Surui" was still criticizing the memorial in a leisurely manner, without losing his temper at all, Lin Miaozhen suddenly understood in her heart:

"Did you know that the queen mother would deal with you like this?"

Shen Shiqing smiled and said, "It's just a two-point guess."

She saw this kind of means a lot when she was in Uncle Ning'an's mansion. She has a double mother-in-law on her head, and she is a childless child. She has to learn all kinds of secret ways to torture people several times a month.

It’s trivial to wait for the next hour with the cold wind blowing at the door when you are welcome, the empty teacup, the dishes that are placed in front of you knowing that you can’t eat them, and you are suddenly asked to use your tooth chopsticks to serve the elders, and you are half an hour late Yue's spending money... Shen Shiqing looked at her hands. Back then when she was determined to observe double filial piety, Mrs. Sun suddenly asked her to go to the Small Buddha Hall and gave her a small two-inch-square incense burner for her to hold.

The incense ash as thick as a thumb-cap, more than one foot high, would fall on her hands at the slightest disturbance, and there were sparks in it, which made people feel nervous.

At that time, no one felt that she had been wronged.

The palm of a man in front of him was slender and strong, and there was a smile on Shen Shiqing's brows.

She is the emperor now, and if the emperor suffers a grievance, someone will feel very sorry for him. No one will say to the emperor: "It is a blessing to suffer losses", and no one will say to the emperor: "Everyone else comes here like this. Yes, decades of having children and raising children will pass.”

Looking up, she saw that Lin Miaozhen was complaining about "herself", Shen Shiqing stretched out her hand, and tugged the sleeves of Lin Miaozhen's Siheruyi golden silk shirt with her index finger and middle finger.

"Sister Lin, don't be angry."

Seeing "Zhao Surui" looking at her with smiling eyes and coaxing her, how could Lin Miaozhen get angry?Pulling back her sleeves, she sat aside.

"I'll wait with you. It's not just me. Since the mother-in-law wouldn't go down the steps, I'll build the steps higher for her. I've already passed on the news to the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau of the Palace Officials and the women from all the offices of the Zhengsi Division. Officials and maids, I want to see how long the empress dowager can stay on the stage."

She had just finished speaking in the sedan chair when, at the entrance of the road, Si Zheng of Gong Zhengsi had already led hundreds of female officials and maids in a mighty stride.

"Slaves refer to Your Majesty, see Your Majesty."

The female officials saluted the sedan chair, and then turned to the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

"The empress dowager has a golden body and a phoenix body."

Hundreds of people saluted in unison, with great momentum.

Finally, the door of the Compassionate Palace opened, and a big eunuch walked out tremblingly:
"The Empress Dowager gave an order, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager enter to pay their respects, and the rest of you should leave."

Shen Shiqing closed the memorial in her hand.

She had a hunch that this was the first time she entered the Compassion Palace to pay her respects, and it might also be her last greeting in a long time.

　Shen Shiqing: It's great to be the emperor. Everyone knows that the emperor has been wronged, and they all want to be wronged for the emperor.

　　Siri Zhao: My biggest grievance is you! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
