Chapter 191: The Heart of the Matter
There is Zhao Sum so a interruption, in the end do not dare to fool around, while Qing Yun Hou has not returned, Zhao Su first go to the kitchen to make a few dishes, Yun want to Yi followed to dabble in a little bit of food, and by the way talk about the recent situation at home.
The eldest uncle Yao’s to Qing Yun Hou open up the renewal, said several families, but Qing Yun Hou one did not fancy, either too young, or too that can not hold things.
Zhao Su really did not expect the middle-aged people to treat the second marriage is also so picky, but as long as the Marquis of Qingyun House has this meaning to penetrate out, the candidates will still be a steady stream of people.
“But it’s also hard enough, the Marquis spends a lot more time in the Yamen every day, it’s hard to see that he has the time to be able to spare for a blind date.”
Zhao Su fried veggie meatballs, Yun Qianyi held the plate and ate the meatballs so to speak.
“Is the court so busy these days?” Zhao Su was puzzled. The emperor could have time to go on a micro-vacation, but Marquis Qingyun was so busy that he didn’t even have time for a blind date?
“That’s something I’m not sure about. But it seems like it’s always been like this.”
This wouldn’t work, dragging a year older, Zhao Su felt it was time to think of something.
While cooking and waiting, not wanting to work for a while but actually directly made four dishes and one soup, and then made soup noodles and side dishes for the two Yun Hua, just as the eldest attendant also said that Marquis Qing Yun had almost arrived home, so he had people carry the food basket to the main courtyard.
As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, someone came in from outside the courtyard door.
Zhao Su welcomed the door, it was really Marquis Qingyun returned, but his face was a bit dark, not like the usual dignified but kind look.
“What did father encounter?” Zhao Su greeted halfway.
“Oh, my daughter has returned?” Marquis Qingyun looked like he just saw her and paused in his steps, “When did you come back? How was the trip? Did things go well? I heard that the emperor also went there, I didn’t even hear about it until first thing in the morning.”
Zhao Su returned one by one and accompanied him towards the house, “Why do you look bad? You look like you’re angry with someone. Is it because someone in the court is against you again?”
“No.” Marquis Qingyun didn’t look like he had political troubles when he spoke, “I just went to the front to prescribe some medicine, and I was pissed off by that doctor. –Well, why does it smell so good? Did you cook?” Speaking of which he quickened his pace.
What kind of doctor could still piss him off? How awesome must this be?
When he thought about the places that could prescribe medicines “in front of him”, the nearest one would be the Hui An Tang at the entrance of the Square, could it be Dr. Chen?
No way! Isn’t Dr. Chen kind and gentle? How could she still be angry with Marquis Qingyun?
But Marquis Qingyun had already gone inside to change his clothes, and when she saw the antiques on the side shelf, she put it down and walked over to view them one by one.
From the longevity festival has only four days, minus the day of the festival, there are only three days, Zhao Su originally boasted of the sea has not yet fallen, she had to be in the pro father here woolgathering.
Jade cabbage on the shelf, glazed bowls, amber bottles and so on, but these things the emperor is certainly not lack of, think of the emperor last night to ask for a birthday gift when the tone of voice, how she had to find a rare to deal with the past.
Just as the Marquis of Qing Yun came out, Zhao Su asked: “Father can open the treasury, let me pick a treasure?”
“What do you want a treasure for? Lack of money to spend?”
Zhao Sum, who was all refined after her bath, crossed the door and picked up the conversation again.
“It’s the Wan Shou Festival soon, I’m picking out a gift for the Emperor to celebrate his birthday.”
Zhao Sum reached out and ruffled her hair: “Little girl, kissing ass in a set way!”
Zhao Su didn’t explain to him.
……
With the permission of the Marquis of Qingyun, the next morning Zhao Su first let the housekeeper open the treasury, went in first and slipped around, roughly have a number, to the palace, changed clothes and went to the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor did not read the folders for a few days, last night from the Ci Ning Palace there to move the folders all over, to see the middle of the night to rest. Today’s morning court is not inevitably a little longer. Four Happiness waited for Zhao Su while he was on guard duty at Qianqing Palace.
“Servant Zhao, long time no see.” Four Happiness hailed. It was quite uncomfortable to not see her nor the Emperor for a few days.
Zhao Su exchanged a few pleasantries and asked him, “I’m asking you about something.”
“You say.”
“What does the Emperor usually like?”
Four Happiness opened his mouth, “The emperor has no special favorites. If we are talking about the recent past, he is more interested in paper kites.”
Paper kite? Then she couldn’t even give one of these away! She further asked, “Are there any hobbies that you are interested in? For example, gold and stone?”
“This, yes.” Four Happiness still readily accepts good advice, “A while ago the emperor lost a piece of chicken blood stone, very sorry.”
Likes stones ah.
Zhao Su had a number in his heart, and immediately said goodbye to him.
Four Happiness still had something to say that she didn’t have time to finish, she went out of the palace gate.
Taking advantage of the time is still early, Zhao Su rushed back to the marquis house, and let the housekeeper opened the storehouse, selected a piece of excellent color of the bloodstone, take the brocade box, and back to the palace.
Just in time, the emperor has been off the court, is drinking tea to moisturize the throat.
He has changed his regular clothes slightly open, neck exposed, inside the shirt and wrapped very close to the body, summer wear thin cause, chest around the protrusion of the two pieces is very obvious. Zhao Su did not dare to look at more, holding the box into, called “Emperor”, put his head down.
The emperor shook his fan and said, “You seem to have suddenly become respectful these two days.”
“Where, my subordinate has always been respectful to the emperor.”
The emperor did not comment and saw the box in her arms, “What is that?”
“Oh,” Zhao Su stepped forward, “This is the birthday gift that my subordinate has gone to great lengths to prepare for the Emperor, please take a look.”
“So soon?”
The emperor looked at her and took the box before opening it.
Zhao Su looked at him without blinking, only to see his eyes lingering in the box for a moment before he turned his face sideways towards himself, “This is the birthday gift you have prepared with all your efforts?”
“Yes, this stone is of excellent color, it’s very rare, and it’s so big that it can make three or four small seals.”
She hadn’t lied at all, but why did his words sound unsatisfied? This does not make sense ah, even if she does not know the goods, marquis housekeeper must also know the goods, housekeeper also do not know the goods, that Qing Yun Hou must also know the goods ah, she is from the treasury collection of the perfect that a pavilion to find this piece of stone!
The emperor stared at her for a while, then got up and strolled to the inner room, and then personally carried out a large stack of boxes that were well packaged.
The box was unpacked and placed on the table, the inside is actually a color of chicken blood stone, a number of actually have more than ten pieces, and each piece of color are very large pieces, color is also very good!
“This is today within half a day, I received the chicken blood stone.”
The emperor shook the fan open again.
Zhao Su was dumbfounded, so many people have sent, then her birthday gift that “took a lot of effort” would not be surprising?
She suddenly understood why Si Xi was so fluent when he answered her question earlier, he had already answered others’ questions, so it was easy to use?
