I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 508
In the early morning of winter, the capital is shrouded in a layer of gray mist.

That is the smoke formed by burning coal in various households.

In fact, it's not just for later generations. At this time, the capital city has already begun to suffer from smog.

However, the combined population of the capital city and its surrounding areas at this time was less than one-fifteenth of the total population of Beijing in later generations, and there were no large factories and large chimneys for heating at this time.

After breakfast time, the breeze blows, and the haze clears away.

Although Li Tian slept very late last night, he slept very soundly. He woke up before the sun was three.

As soon as he woke up, Wang Fu kindly asked someone to bring him breakfast.

There were no changes in the other dishes, except for a soup of stewed tofu with cabbage that caught Li Tian's attention.

Even in the imperial palace in winter, it is rare to see green. At this time, the mixture of green cabbage and pure white tofu made Li Tian's index finger move and he started to drink.

While drinking, while talking,

"This soup is not bad, let someone send some to the queen."

Wang Fu bowed with a smile and said,
"Your Majesty, this soup was specially prepared by the Queen for you!"

"Oh, so that's the case, the empress really has a heart. It's really not easy to see some green in this winter! Tell the empress, I'm not a greedy person, so don't think about everything for me!"

Wang Fu pursed his lips and smiled,

"Your Majesty, are you worried that this item is expensive?"

"Isn't that the way!"

Wang Fu shook his head and said,
"Your Majesty, you really are a noble person who forgets things. Have you forgotten that we have a vegetable garden in the western suburbs. This vegetable was just delivered from there yesterday."

Speaking of this, Li Tian suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise,

"Is this grown in a greenhouse?"

"Exactly, this is only the first batch. The old slave went to take a look some time ago. There is a lush green area, and the growth rate is very gratifying."

Although the idea of ​​this cave house was proposed by Li Tian, ​​and he ordered someone to preside over the construction, but this is the first time he has done this kind of thing, and he is actually not sure whether it will be possible or not.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a month, and the results have already been seen, which is really gratifying.

Excited, he finished his breakfast in twos and twos, put on his cloak and was about to go there to see for himself.

"Let's go, there's nothing to do today anyway, let's go and see our vegetable garden."

Wang Fu had just completed the auction and was rewarded by Li Tian. At this time, seeing that Li Tian was also very satisfied with the greenhouse, he felt very happy.

hurriedly said,
"The old slave is going to prepare the chariot."

Unexpectedly, Wang Fu dared to run out, and the queen walked in accompanied by several court ladies.

Seeing that Li Tian started to put on clothes early in the morning, he thought he was in a hurry to see Zhang Qinghuan again, and felt very unhappy.

"Your Majesty, you came back so late last night. Are you going out of the palace again this early in the morning?"

Li Tian was getting dressed and didn't notice the queen's arrival at first. When he heard her voice, he turned around and said apologetically,
"Ling'er, you are overthinking, I am going to visit the western suburbs!"

Speaking of the western suburbs, the queen suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to Li Tian this time, glanced at Li Tian and saw that Li Tian drank the soup that night, his complexion finally improved a lot.

"The concubine only found out yesterday that His Majesty has quietly built a garden in the western suburbs that can grow vegetables in winter. The concubine also wants to go and see it."

Li Tian hesitated, but finally agreed.

He hesitated not because he didn't want to take the queen out to play, but because if he wanted to take the queen, he had to bring a few maids who accompanied her to take care of her.

If you bring a maid, you must bring a guard, so that they need at least two or thirty people in a group.

With such a large group of people, it is really inconvenient to designate them to attract the attention of outsiders.

But this time we are inspecting the cave sheds in the western suburbs, so it doesn't matter if there are more or less people.

"Okay, Ling'er, go and change into warm clothes. The western suburbs are not as cold as the palace, but it's very cold."

Seeing that Li Tian agreed, the queen was also very happy, but thinking that it would take a lot of time to go back to Kunning Palace, she simply chose two casual clothes from Li Tian and put them on.

Li Tianben is a very casual person and doesn't care much about other people's etiquette.

He didn't stop it, but instead aroused a little curiosity about the queen wearing men's clothes.

Unexpectedly, after the queen changed into men's clothes, she would have a different flavor.

She is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, her proportions are perfect, she looks more like a man than the thin Zhang Qinghuan.

It is probably the first time for the queen to wear men's clothing, and it feels very novel. She played around in front of Li Tian playfully, and finally she sang to Li Tiandao like in a play,

"This gentleman is very polite!"

Seeing her daughter's family insisting on talking like a man, Li Tian felt a chill.

sneered,
"Ling'er, you should speak well, you have such hot eyes!"

Although I couldn't understand what Li Tian was saying, and it didn't feel like it was a good word, the queen pouted and pretended to be angry and said,

"Hmph, it's not interesting at all. I heard that Miss Qing Huan also wears men's clothes. Why don't you see what your Majesty said?"

Li Tian didn't expect that she even knew about Zhang Qinghuan wearing men's clothing.

Afraid that she would think about other things, he quickly stepped forward to grab her little hand and said,
"Ling'er, where are you thinking, I just thought your appearance was very funny just now. Don't be angry, okay?"

The queen wasn't really angry, but she was just not used to Li Tian pampering Zhang Qinghuan.

"Hmph, it's easy not to make the concubine angry. Your Majesty only needs to promise the concubine that he will often take the concubine out of the palace in the future."

The queen played petty temper, which is really not comparable to a fledgling like Zhang Qinghuan, and Li Tian was a big head for a while.

Hurry up and persuade me,
"Okay, okay, I will listen to Linger if you are okay."

The two were talking when Wang Fu, who had gone to prepare the carriage, happened to come back.

As soon as he came in, he found a handsome young man he had never seen standing beside Li Tian, ​​and he was stunned.

After looking at it for a long time, I realized that this person is actually the empress.

Feeling that he stared at the queen for a long time, he seemed to be suspected of offending, he quickly knelt down and said,
"Empress, forgive me, this old servant failed to recognize you, Empress..."

When the queen heard what he said, not only was she not angry, but she smiled,
"Get up, even you, Mr. Wang, almost didn't recognize Bengong, so that means that Bengong's dress is quite successful!"

Li Tian also hurriedly said at this time,
"Ling'er is really pretending to be something, just now I was blind!"

"Hmph, as long as His Majesty knows!"
