Chapter 47
Parting from the emperor in the tunnel, Chen Yizhen returned to Zhongcui Palace in a happy mood. Behind her, Shuangshu and Shuanglu were carrying large and small bags, all of which were gifts for those who stayed behind in Zhongcui Palace.
At this time, Zhongcui Palace is still brightly lit. Madam Zheng, Mr. Pei and everyone are still performing their duties, and none of them are asleep. Although the empress was taken away by the emperor, they are unavoidably worried if she does not come back so late. .
Chen Yizhen pushed open the gate of Zhongcui Palace, just like the modern times, after enjoying shopping, they returned home and excitedly yelled at their family what they had bought.
"Nurse, father-in-law, come and have a look, I bought something for you."
Nanny Zheng and Eunuch Pei rushed out to welcome them out.
Seeing the big and small bags in Shuangshu and Shuanglu's hands, Eunuch Pei immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, hurriedly stepped forward to catch them, and said excitedly: "Oh, my mother is really a slave. I didn't expect that you went out Going shopping and thinking about bringing something to the servant, the servant is really excited and doesn't know what to say."
Chen Yizhen smiled and waved his hands and said: "A little thing, it's right to take it as a part of my heart. I didn't take you with me when I left the palace this time. Don't mind, there will be chances in the future."
Mr. Pei didn't even dare.
Everyone in Zhongcui Palace gathered around, and Shuanglu danced excitedly to describe what he did today, who he met, and what scenery he saw.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Chen Yizhen noticed Madam Zheng who had remained silent.
She looked over and found that the expression on Madam Zheng's face was serious and incompatible with this lively and happy scene. She was stunned, walked over, and asked, "What's the matter, Madam?"
Nanny Zheng saluted her, then leaned into her ear and said softly: "Your Majesty, an hour ago, the little maid from Yongchang Palace came here once."
Chen Yizhen was stunned, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head slowly, and said: "Don't worry, I guess I found out that the emperor is not in the palace, so I came here to have a look. The emperor will take care of this matter."
Madam Zheng responded, "Yes."
After all, joy slowly bloomed on her face, where there was no seriousness just now.
It seems that the empress's journey with the emperor is not in vain, and everyone knows that she has to rely on the emperor.
She had a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you have worked so hard all the way, and the slaves have ordered the maids to prepare hot water for you?"
Chen Yizhen nodded and stretched his waist, "Don't say it, I'm really exhausted, get ready."
"Hey."
Chen Yizhen took a comfortable soak in the hot bath and fell asleep, completely ignoring the matter of Yongchang Palace, but over there, the emperor was hurriedly brought to Yongchang Palace by the nanny.
"Mother." The emperor saluted the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager was sullen all day alone, when she heard the emperor's voice, she casually raised her eyes, and then, the anger that had been relieved a lot came out with a "boom".
Pointing at him with trembling fingers, "You, you, what a mess are you wearing!"
When the emperor returned to the palace, he was grabbed by the sleeves by the mother who had been waiting all the time. He came to Yongchang Palace before he even had time to change his clothes. At this time, he was still wearing the same clothes as when he left the palace.
The emperor didn't feel that he was dressed in a mess, he walked over calmly, sat down, and then said lightly: "What did the queen mother say, the son is dressed in the clothes of the common people, and the common people's clothes, how can the son not wear it, what is it? Say it."
The Empress Dowager choked, and for a moment, she patted the table and "slapped" and said: "Okay, the Ai family asks you, what did you do today?"
"Get out of the palace."
"Leaving the palace? Do you know that your status is precious, how could you rush out of the palace without bringing anyone with you? If, if something happens, how will you let Aijia live!"
"Mother Lao is worried, but it's not that my son didn't take anyone with him. The son brought Rong Sheng who is close to him and two guards with strong martial arts skills."
The empress dowager sneered, "There is also the one from Zhongcui Palace."
The emperor raised his brows slightly, "The queen mother is like watching the fire."
The empress dowager was so angry that she took another picture of the case, and said angrily: "Don't play tricks with Aijia, tell Aijia honestly, why did you leave the palace? And why did you bring the queen? Did the queen ask you to take her out? Palace play?"
The emperor was silent, and said: "The mother is too worried. It is the son who wants to go out of the palace to have a look. By the way, on the auspicious day of Chongyang, go to the countryside to see the autumn sun and see how the people's harvest is this year."
The Empress Dowager sneered, "So?"
"That's it!" said the emperor.
The menacing dialogue came to an end, and the ensuing silence was particularly obvious, and the empress dowager's rapid panting was also clearly audible.
After a while, the empress dowager calmed down the anger in her heart, and her expression returned to tranquility, "The Ai family knows, it's getting late, the emperor, go back and rest first."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, he was really surprised this time, he thought the queen mother would continue to pursue the matter, but he didn't expect it to be over so easily.
Thinking in his heart, for a moment, he put it to the back of his mind, he got up, and calmly cupped his hands, "The son will leave first, and the queen will also rest earlier."
Chen Yizhen didn't take this matter to heart, on the contrary, when Shuang Shu and Shuang Lu heard Madam Zheng mention this matter, they couldn't help paying attention to it, for fear that they would wait for the news that the Empress Dowager would summon her the next day.
Fortunately, the emperor seemed to really appease the empress dowager. After the whole day, there was no movement in Yongchang Palace, and they gradually relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, they noticed that there was something wrong between the master and the emperor, and the interaction between the two seemed to become more frequent.
To be precise, it was the master who no longer rejected the emperor's initiative.
Even occasionally, I will give back one or two.
For example, on this day, Chen Yizhen received the tribute from the kitchen, that is, the tribute from Wang Dashi and Jia Zheng. She had two plates of pastries, one plate of sweet potato heart and one plate of glutinous rice heart. Each packed two pieces and ordered Shuangshu to send them to the emperor.
Shuang Shu accepted it with a smile, picked up the basket and turned to go out.
When Shuanglu saw it, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Master, slaves also want to go."
In the past, when the Chen family was prosperous, she was able to walk around the palace even if there were occasional collisions. Because of her belonging to the Changchun Palace, others did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. Unable to control her mouth, she seldom took her out. She was getting tired of staying on the three-acre land of Zhongcui Palace all day long.
Chen Yizhen also thought of this, her heart ached, and thinking that this time was different from the past, and Shuanglu was much more stable than before, so she simply waved her hands, "Go, all go."
Shuanglu exclaimed, "Thank you, Madam, that servant has gone."
Chen Yizhen watched them bouncing and running away with a smile.
In the evening, the emperor came over as expected.
These days, as long as he is not busy, as long as he does not accompany the ancestor and the empress dowager, he will come to Zhongcui Palace to have a meal with her.
"Your Majesty." She greeted her out, bowing low.
"The queen doesn't need to be too polite." The emperor helped her up without waiting for her to finish the ceremony.
The two walked inside and talked.
The emperor said: "Today/you asked someone to bring you two kinds of dim sum, both of which are very good, but I like glutinous rice hearts more."
Hearing this, Chen Yizhen smiled and told the eunuch Pei beside him, "It's the great fortune of the cook who made this dim sum that the emperor likes it. Go, seal a reward of ten taels of silver, and give it to the cook. Very happy."
"Yes, the servant leads the order."
Not to mention the scene where Eunuch Pei came to the dining room and delivered the queen's oral order, Jia Zheng was so excited that he almost fainted.
Just mentioning that at this time, Chen Yizhen and the emperor walked into the inner room hand in hand, and sat down next to each other, she said: "The concubine prefers sweet potato hearts, I think the concubine is a woman with a sweet taste, and she is inconsistent with a majestic man like the emperor. "
The emperor shook his head slightly, as if he disagreed with her statement.
But he didn't say anything, instead he asked about today's dinner.
The two times he came here, the queen always prepared him special snacks that he hadn't seen before, which made him think about it and never forget it.
Chen Yizhen pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.
How to say that sentence, if you want to grasp a person's heart, you have to grasp a person's stomach.
She led the emperor to the table. Today's dinner was already prepared on the table, and there were a few things around that he was used to eating, except for the one in the middle, which he had never seen before.
"This is?"
Chen Yizhen explained: "The concubines call this meat wrapped in lettuce."
Hearing this, the emperor frowned, and anyone could tell that he was extremely displeased with this name.
He looked at Chen Yizhen with some disapproval, and shook his head helplessly. The queen is good at everything, but the name is really worrying.
Chen Yizhen secretly slandered that this was plagiarizing modern food, so there was no need for her to go to great lengths to come up with a name.
As the name suggests, the plate in the middle is actually lettuce with barbecue. The meat is grilled and divided into five or six piles. Each pile is a different kind of meat, such as beef, rabbit meat, fish, etc., and the surrounding circle is It's washed lettuce.
In ancient times, there was almost no idea of eating green vegetables raw. They paid attention to several or more than a dozen processes before and after a dish. Complexity, flavor and beauty are its typical characteristics. Therefore, Chen Yizhen ordered the internal dining room to bake this simple dish. When the lettuce wrapped meat mixed with lettuce was made, the dining room was petrified, especially the chefs, who trembled and wanted to refuse. They dared not accept this beautiful job, for fear that the emperor would feel dirty when they saw it and blamed them.
It was Chen Yizhen who opened the mouth and took care of everything with one hand, so they dared to do it with their legs shaking.
This dish looked simple enough, but the queen gave him a lot of surprises these two days, so the emperor didn't hesitate too much, sat down and ordered someone to bring a piece to taste.
Two pieces of lettuce were sandwiched between slices of meat, mixed with some native sauce, the emperor paused, put it in his mouth, and then, his brows and eyebrows were visible to the naked eye a little bit.
Sure enough, he was not disappointed, this thing looked ugly, but tasted good.
Chen Yizhen smiled triumphantly.
After dinner, the emperor sat for a while, and was about to get up and leave. Chen Yizhen sent him to the gate of the palace.
Late autumn is approaching, and the cold night wind whizzes into people's necks.
The emperor touched her cold little hand, stopped in his tracks, and said to her: "There's no need to send it off, just come here. After you go back, take a hot bath and rest early."
He also told Shuangshu, "Remember to get your master a Tang Pozi at night. Besides, it's getting cold, so it's time to prepare the hand stove. As a slave, you have to think about everything that the master can't think of, otherwise, what else do you want!"
Shuangshu was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and said in panic: "Your servant is guilty, thank you for reminding the emperor, and your servant will go to prepare immediately."
The emperor nodded slightly, he knew that the girl in front of him was her confidant brought into the palace, so it was inconvenient to criticize and punish her more, so he simply reprimanded her, then stopped talking, and said to her: "I'm leaving, you go back."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and gradually moved away with the flickering palace lanterns.
After the emperor left, Chen Yizhen smiled and asked Shuangshu to get up, "Okay, the emperor is gone, get up."
Shuangshu stood up, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.
Chen Yizhen thought he would see her tearful eyes, but seeing her like this now, he couldn't help being surprised.
Shuangshu said comfortingly: "Seeing that the emperor is so kind to the empress, seeing that the empress and the emperor are so good, the slaves are relieved."
She used two "such" in succession to express the relief in her heart, but Chen Yizhen stayed where she was listening.
"The emperor treats me well? Me and the emperor?" She asked softly.
Madam Zheng smiled and said, "No, all the servants can see it."
Chen Yizhen was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The emperor treated her very well, right?
But she was not so pure towards the emperor, it was just because she hoped to support her family and her cousin, that's why she changed her mind.
However, at this moment, she had to admit that she enjoyed and looked forward to such a warm and harmonious atmosphere at this moment.
