Chapter 13: Wanting to see a living emperor
Yun Qian Yi paused for a moment, then surfaced a few moments of realization, “The girl is still for the matter of being summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager today, right?”
Zhao Su will: “Could it be that you also know the end?”
Yun Xiangyi was originally a lady of the house, but unfortunately she had a crummy father, and after winning the Flower Moon Cultural Championship in Huizhou, she resolutely left her hometown. Follow the uncle to the capital to go to the office. When she first heard that the first lady of the Marquis of Qingyun wanted to hire a female teacher, she came, who knows that after coming in, she just mucked around, and looking at her like this, nowadays, she is not even a little bit of wanting to leave the Marquis to start a new business.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean she has lost her business skills.
After eating Zhao Su’s seven or eight sugared walnuts, Yun Qian Yi reached out with her left hand and patted Zhao Su’s arm like a Zhu Geliang shaking his feather fan: ”The Empress Dowager has a plan, don’t you still have to go to the palace tomorrow? You’re done pretending to be a fool – and there’s no need to pretend, you’ll just keep your true colors.”
Zhao Su ignored her implication and asked, “What if she has something to ask me to do?”
“The Empress Dowager won’t have demands on you.”
“What if there is?”
“In case there is, you must not agree.”
This she didn’t say Zhao Su also knew, and for a moment felt that this military advisor didn’t play much of a role.
Ask something practical: “You still haven’t said what’s fishy about the Flower Moon Society that only has three spots in one state.”
Yun want to clothes then eloquent: “A state only three quotas, according to reason will not have too much impact, especially do not have the conditions to study and practice martial arts civilian women.”
“Although there are not many places, but once the Flower Moon Meeting is organized, how many people are eyeing that Flower Moon Seal? Some of them really need this identity to turn over a new leaf, and some of them have their eyes on this honor bestowed by the imperial court. To know that the Qiong Hua Hai Yue seal, but one side is engraved with the emperor’s imperial approval, one side is engraved with the empress dowager’s decree, get this honor, enough to pass on the family.
“These years, the four seas are peaceful, the rich squire accumulated a lot of money, but do not see all have the ability to climb the power and nobility, with the identity of the flower moon master, it can shine. In order to cultivate a master out, a large number of people widely give money to seek a good teacher, so out of the female teacher more, to introduce the female teacher of the family’s toothwoman also more. There were more women’s medical centers, and women’s martial arts firms prospered. Women who failed to be selected for the Flower Moon Society also joined the profession and opened a medical center and martial arts firm.
“Women’s business line, will certainly also hire maids and servants, with more women go out to earn a living, naturally many more need to hire nannies, maids, cooks of the family, so this way, actually brought to life a large number of business, a flower moon meeting, but not to the people’s morale to the reversal of the situation? Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see business houses hiring female laborers on the streets.”
Zhao Su really did not think that she was intimidating and threatening Mary Sue Empress Dowager, actually set off such a big storm in feudal society, no wonder Empress Dowager Lu will first put her back to the house to see, if not personally experienced, the current social landscape, how can Zhao Su imagine?
The flower moon will have such a significant presence, among the natural and profitable. Shi En high left minister of the Ministry of Rites, but also because of corruption and alarmed the emperor, it is not surprising.
Can rely on one’s own strength to promote social development, Empress Dowager Lu is indeed enough to the world’s respect, but this still does not mean that she will be able to cross the first generation of the big dumping ah!
They are all grasshoppers on the same rope, don’t you understand the team spirit?
“Girl, why are you gritting your teeth? Is it a toothache?”
Xiao Lan came over with concern.
Zhao Su hastily rubbed her face.
Thinking that she still had to return to the palace tomorrow morning, she was getting depressed again.
Empress Lu’s city was so deep, what exactly would she explain to her tomorrow?
Would it be related to the Shi En case?
This night Zhao Su faced bathing and toilet are surrounded by people, drinking water in the middle of the night in all directions are people climbed up to ask for marquee, as well as maids to sleep with a variety of discomfort, and finally ushered in the next day’s sun with eyes open.
When eating breakfast, she explained to Xiao Ju: “I’m going to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and if I’m not back by next morning, you can let the Marquis come to the palace to pick me up.”
Xiao Ju obediently agreed.
Zhao Su finished her explanation and rode into the palace.
There were people in the main hall of Ci Ning Palace, and Gao Shu guided her to the hipped hall and stopped.
Hearing a very clear voice floating faintly in the hall, she couldn’t help but ask: “Who is in the hall?”
Gao Shu glanced at her, “It’s His Majesty.”
Zhao Su’s mouth opened into an O-shape and she couldn’t help but probe.
She hadn’t seen a living emperor yet! Let her see how awesome it was?
Gao Shu was obviously a bit curious as well, “Miss Su wants to see the Emperor?”
Zhao Su originally wanted to say yes, but thinking that she also merely wanted to take a look and had nothing else to do to find the emperor, she waved her hand, “I’m just taking a casual look.”
Gao Shu held back for a while, but still couldn’t hold back and told her, “Miss Su, be careful with your words, it’s a favor to see the face of heaven, don’t offend with your words.”
In other words, you can’t “just look”……
Zhao Su thought for a moment: “Then can I look at it properly?”
Gao Shu silent for a moment: “Miss Su has not seen seriously?”
Zhao Su just remembered, as the daughter of a close minister, she must have seen the emperor. But it’s a pity that she didn’t remember what the emperor looked like, because the emperor in her impression was very serious, she was a bit afraid of him and always hid far away.
“Greetings to the Emperor!”
At this time the eunuch’s voice came from the other side of the temple door.
Zhao Su probed again and wanted to look, but was pulled back by Gao Shu, who also gave a very urgent gesture of silence.
The moment Zhao Su withdrew his gaze, he happened to see a flash of bright yellow color striding past from the side of the pillar two feet away.
Only when there was no more sound outside did Gao Shu signal Zhao Su to enter the hall.
Zhao Su entered the hall, only to see Empress Dowager Lu sitting on the couch flipping through papers – the covers were all of the same color, most likely official documents.
Zhao Su suppressed his resentment and said, “Empress Dowager, I’m here.”
Empress Dowager Lu did not respond.
Zhao Su gathered courage and was about to open his mouth to say something from the bottom of his heart, he saw that Empress Dowager Lu did not lift her head and pouted at a pot under the curtain bar: “It’s just right, I drank a bowl of goat’s milk for breakfast, and it seems to be noon, so quickly go to the whole hot pot to eat.”
“……”
Hot pot?
You really think she’s a cook?
It was none of her business if she didn’t have any for breakfast!
But then again, it’s good to get some food first to smooth her stomach, so that she can think twice if she wants to do it later.
Look at this pot, round, the center of an S-shaped next door, but also a mandarin ducks pot! And then look, but also shiny, a look is a new pot.
She looked deeply at the Empress Dowager Lu: “This pot is not the Empress Dowager yesterday asked people to rush out now, right?”
Empress Dowager Lu opened another folders, still did not raise his eyelids: “The clever woman can not cook without rice, if the Palace does not prepare a good pot, I believe that you can not make hot pot. —Remember to put some spice, from my hometown of Tanzhou.”
