Chapter 79 – How much have you drunk today?

Zhao Su was simply speechless!

She paid tribute to the recipes because she wanted to rush out, okay? It wasn’t to continue being a cook here!

Gao Shu to the Empress Dowager Lu explained things to order down, back to the Changle Palace to see, Zhao Su has wrapped the quilt angry lying down, under the door stood for a while, he finally also walk away lightly.

Qianqing Palace this period of time people come and go, four happy also very busy, just passed the Yongsheng door leading to the harem, was the door over there Gao Shu to call.

Gao Shu asked: “The Ministry of Rites left minister’s lack of someone to fill now?”

Si Xi shook her head, “Tian OCT has also dismounted, and in the past few days, no one has mentioned this matter anymore. His Majesty is also quite busy, resting in the middle of the night for several days in a row, and he can’t eat well.”

Gao Shu sighed as he folded his hands, “Where does the Empress Dowager actually want to interfere in the imperial affairs? The heart does not know how much worry about the emperor.”

“That’s true.”

Gao Shu look around, and said: “Not only is the emperor can not eat well, the empress dowager has no appetite for several days. I’ll tell you something, turn around and see for yourself.”

……

The dynasty under a Minister of the Household, and under an imperial historian, as well as a few eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Division, the problems faced are bound to be no less.

The emperor these days together with the ministers in the court to deal with the follow-up matters, until today is considered to slow down.

At the moment, he is still holding the dossier sent by the Da Lisi Yuan – underneath the line “Plotting for the position of left minister of the Ministry of Ceremony” written on the motive of OCT, there is another paragraph.

According to Tian OCT’s last statement, another reason for planting evidence on Shi En was that Empress Dowager Lu had given Shi En a directive two years earlier, which told Shi En to consider increasing the scope of influence of the Flower Moon Festival, such as setting up an additional ring at the lower level of the state and prefectural government, i.e. at the county level, where the benefits are reduced by half, but can once again participate in the state and prefectural governmental level ring competitions.

This initiative is still in the observation stage, but if it is seriously implemented, it will increase an expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue. The key is that the Empress Dowager Lu also ordered Shi En to strictly monitor all levels of government issued silver, so the Ministry of households must be greatly reduced.

The interests of all parties are affected, which contributed to this planting of Shi En.

“Your Majesty, have some soup, turn around and the evening meal will be served soon.”

Four Happiness came in across the door with a tray.

The emperor glanced at the dossier in his hand and closed it, but he was still in deep thought.

Four Happiness from the side looked at his complexion: “Emperor, you have eaten very little these days, you must pay attention to the dragon body.”

“Every day are these, can not eat.”

Four Happiness thought about it, “Do you want a different cook to make you some new flavors to try?”

“Where is there any other cook?”

“Miss Su. Last time in Ci Ning Palace made roast meat is really fragrant, the emperor ate a lot, or we find a way to let him come out and make another meal for the emperor to taste?”

Speaking of roast meat, it did make people feel a little hungry.

But Zhao Su was locked up ah!

Since the last time he hit a wall in Ci Ning Palace, the Emperor later went to Ci Ning Palace to find Empress Dowager Lu once more, but the Empress Dowager was adamant and must let her own people in. Originally, the family does not need to be divided into what each other, as long as the talent is suitable, there is no relationship.

But Shi En is the Empress Dowager’s people, this time just had an incident, if again with the people of the Ci Ning Palace, he is not sure whether it will happen again. After all, his mother’s prestige in the dynasty is not low at all. So things are put aside, then he did not bother to go to Changle Palace.

However, he had everything he needed there, so there was nothing to worry about.

Four Happiness looked at him as if he was unmoved, so he added: “Your Majesty, I recently heard of a matter, it’s about Miss Su.”

“What is it.”

The emperor picked up his bowl.

“Little heard that that day in Ci Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager didn’t let anyone lock up Miss Su up at first. It was because Miss Su said that she felt it was right for the Emperor to severely punish the criminal Shi En, and didn’t feel that the Emperor had done anything wrong, and the Empress Dowager was angry, which is why she gave this decree.”

The emperor looked up and said for a moment, “She said that?”

“Yes,” Four Happiness hailed, “Miss Su also said that even if a person is useful to the court, they should not be a bargaining chip with the court. She also said that even if it was to protect a woman, one should not disregard the dignity of the king’s law.

“At that time, in the midst of the Empress Dowager’s rage, Miss Su actually didn’t kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but bravely spoke such words against the Empress Dowager’s anger, truly impressive.”

The Emperor’s brow furrowed, and a ripple surfaced on his consistently gentle face.

“Where did you hear this from?”

“It was Eunuch Gao who said it. If he didn’t say it, I wouldn’t dare to believe it.”

The emperor did not make another sound.

Gao Shu had followed Empress Dowager Lu for many years, and his words should be true.

But Zhao Su, who used to wimp out in front of him as a cat and mouse avoider, would actually stand up to the Empress Dowager’s anger and say that he had done the right thing?

She dared to contradict the Empress Dowager?

……

Changle Palace and Ci Ning Palace is not far away from each other, the past few days old heard the sound of banging coming from the backyard, Zhao Su can not help it, to the empress dowager made lunch, by the way, to do a little bit of food for themselves, and then moved to a few stools, stacked up and lying on the wall to look out.

Behind is also a courtyard, vaguely familiar. This courtyard one hundred square feet, originally is also the same flat rammed earth ground, this time many palace people are filling in the soil, has filled in one or two feet high, the soil color is still very deep, looks quite fertile.

And then see the courtyard opposite the crooked neck pomegranate tree, Zhao Su immediately remembered, that is not the dining room of Cining Palace? Isn’t this courtyard the one he said he would plant vegetables in?

What is Empress Dowager Lu doing?

She really wants to grow vegetables?

Many days have not seen the world outside the four sides of the sky, she attributes to pour herself a cup of juice, excitedly lying on the wall to look.

The emperor entered the Changle Palace, and did not see Zhao Su’s silhouette, turned around, heard the backyard came chirping chakra sound, followed the sound to come to see, only to see Zhao Su one hand lying on the wall, the other hand end of a large cup of drink, is leisurely commanding the wall at the end of the palace people work ……

Zhao Su is idle anyway, and in his heart, he also knows what kind of vegetables to plant, so by the way, just tell them how to divide the area.

Of course, she will not plant vegetables, this kind of work also need to be their hands of the palace people to. But this does not affect her at all to substitute into a vegetable farmer at this moment.

“Looks like this day is not bad.”

Just as she was looking up, a voice came from under the wall.

She probed and saw that the emperor who was pissed off by her last time had surprisingly appeared again. But this time, he came empty-handed, and he didn’t know if he was still angry.

People standing on the wall, it is not good to salute, so she waved her hand: “Emperor you came to walk?”

The emperor cold face: “Come down.”

Then he turned around and walked towards the front door.

Zhao Su climbed down from the stool and returned to the front room just as the emperor entered.

The emperor looked at the earthen stove in the corner of the courtyard, and then sized her up with slanted eyes, “What’s the matter? Is this a good plan to stay for a long time?”
