Concubine Feng Gui was enjoying the service of the little eunuch happily, and when she looked up to see Emperor Zheng Yuan coming, she immediately got up to greet him.
Emperor Zhengyuan frowned, not wanting to look at her anymore.
But since he came here, Emperor Zhengyuan still wanted to give Feng Guifei a step in the face of his sons and daughters.
"Why did the imperial concubine come here at this hour?" Emperor Zhengyuan asked knowingly.
Concubine Feng opened her mouth and turned around to see a number of little eunuchs beside her, who seemed to be listening to her, but she couldn't say what she said.
"My concubine is...that's..." Feng Guifei "is" for a while, before she choked out the second half of the sentence, "I just came to visit Your Majesty and want to talk to His Majesty."
Emperor Zhengyuan finally lost his patience, waved his hand and said: "I'm very good, don't bother your concubine. It's not early, you go back early and rest."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Concubine Feng timidly called "Your Majesty" and raised her foot to follow.
Qian Sansi stood in front of her, and his attitude was still very respectful, "Your Majesty will go to court early tomorrow, please come back, your concubine."
Concubine Feng looked at Qian Sansi and felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell for a while.
Emperor Zhengyuan personally told her to go back, and Concubine Feng did not dare to entangle. She wanted to stay at the door for a while. When Emperor Zhengyuan changed his mind, he turned his head and found that the little eunuchs had already taken away the tables, chairs and stoves. .
She stood empty at the door for a long time, but in the end she didn't wait for anything and could only leave in disappointment.
Emperor Zhengyuan drank too much wine this day, and after resting, he fell into a deep sleep and no longer needed anyone to serve him. No need to think twice about doing night work. He ordered two smart little eunuchs to be on duty at night, and he was surrounded by other little eunuchs and went to the ear room to rest.
Behind Qian Sansi's apprentice, Xiao Luzi, sent others away, brought a touch of hot water in person, and served Qian Sansi to soak his feet.
With his feet dipped in the hot water, Qian Sansi let out a comfortable sigh.
While pinching his master's shoulder, Xiaoluzi lowered his voice and said hatefully: "Then Feng Guifei is too deceiving, it doesn't matter if she arranges the master like that in private, and even taught this to the third highness. I finally let her eat it today. It's a dull loss, but... but the apprentice is always a little worried."
Qian Sansi understands Xiaoluzi's worries.
People without roots like them rely only on the faith of their masters.
And Concubine Feng, although she also relied on the favor of Emperor Zhengyuan, the foundation of her life was the children she gave birth to.
Now is the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Zhengyuan is still thinking of the love of the founding heroes, and will not let Feng Guifei spoil him so badly.
But as time goes by, that love will fade away one day.
But Feng Guifei's children will grow up slowly.
When the time comes, it will be clear who wins and who loses.
In the worst case, the third prince, Lu Xu, might inherit the throne. At that time, they really won't be able to eat and walk around!
Qian Sansi sighed and smiled, "Before today, the things you were worried about might happen. After today..."
He smiled without saying a word, and Xiaoluzi was still puzzled, and he had to ask again.
Qian Sansi gave him a push, "Go, take a rest, wake up tomorrow, and serve His Royal Highness King Lie well!"
Gu Ye now has only bodyguards, no palace maids and eunuchs, but sooner or later he will have a personal palace servant.
When Qian Sansi said this, he was about to push his apprentice Xiao Luzi to serve Gu Ye.
The meaning of the head here... everyone who should understand naturally understands.
That Xiaoluzi was also clever and coherent. He understood it and said with a smile, "The apprentice must do this errand well and live up to the trust of the master."
…
On the British government's side, Gu Ye came back at the latest. After Gu Yin and Wang Shi and others came back, they all changed and washed, and had already rested.
Gu Yin waited in his room for a long time before he came over slowly.
Gu Yin saw that his face was red, and then reached out to touch it. Sure enough, his face was hot, and he guessed that he was drinking.
In this era, there is no saying that children can't drink. Especially on occasions like today, fruit fermented fruit was prepared at the banquets of the former dynasty and the harem. Gu Yin and Wang Shi both ate a lot, and Wu An also tasted a cup.
"I didn't drink much, just three small cups!" Gu Ye held up three short fingers to compare, and then he was about to climb onto the bed.
Gu Yin picked him up, "There is a smell on my body, wash and sleep."
Gu Ye obediently allowed her to be carried to the clean room.
This brat of his own is extremely shallow. At the birthday banquet held in Hanshan Town, a friend brought fruit fermented fruit specially, and he poured one cup. Today, he drank three cups, and his drunkenness can be imagined.
After Gu Ye was put in the clean room, he undressed himself, but he didn't even think of kicking his mother out.
The maids brought hot water in, filled the tub with water, and then backed out.
Gu Ye had already taken off his shirt and was wearing big cotton boxer pants, and he was about to crawl in.
Just like this drunk, Gu Yin is naturally worried that he washes himself.
Reaching out to help him take off his pants, Gu Yin carried him into the tub, picked up the bath towel and washed him from head to toe.
Gu Ye fell asleep leaning on the tub, and when the back was washed, he was wrapped in a big bath towel by his mother and put on the bed, and the little guy woke up.
The alcohol of this era is inherently low in degree, and the fruit brew is not intoxicating. After taking a nap for a while, Gu Ye completely recovered his consciousness, and immediately became a big red face.
"Why are you helping me take a bath secretly, mother!" He muttered as he took the new pants that Gu Yin handed over and put them on his head under the towel.
Gu Yin laughed when she saw it: "Seeing that you were taking a nap when you came back, I was afraid that you would choke yourself, so you kindly wash it for you. You are not satisfied, are you?"
"I'm so sorry!" Gu Ye put on his shirt and trousers under the bath towel, and his red face like a ripe tomato finally recovered.
Gu Yin urged him to sleep quickly, but Gu Ye couldn't fall asleep after sleeping for a while, so the mother and son simply started to talk.
"I'm really a little impulsive about what happened today." Gu Ye seriously reflected: "I saw him at a young age and his speech was so unpleasant, so I subconsciously reached out and patted his mouth. Even if things got bigger, I have no regrets for disturbing the emperor's father. But I didn't expect that the beatings in the palace would involve a matter of face..."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Eating a quarrel will make you wiser, and I will know next time. If there is such a thing again, I can't deal with it based on my instinctive reaction outside."
Gu Yin wanted to persuade him to come, but he didn't expect that he had already thought about it.
"I can't help you with things in the palace, you can only rely on yourself. It's always good to be careful." Gu Yin said, rubbing his little head lightly.
Gu Ye immediately shook his head, "Why didn't you help me? I've heard people say it later. At that time, the Queen Mother had to apologize for me. It was the mother who trusted me and insisted that I wasn't the kind of temperament that would beat people up for nothing."
Gu Yin also laughed, "Although you weren't born to me, but you are raised so big and are always in front of me, how could I not know about you?"
Gu Ye said again: "I still need mother's help tomorrow morning. I still want to eat the Roujiamo last time."
Gu Yin responded with a natural smile. Seeing him talking, she started to stare again, so she coaxed him to sleep.
When he fell asleep, Gu Yin left lightly, instead of going back to the room, she went to the kitchen.
The next morning, when Gu Ye got up, Gu Yin had already prepared food for him, not only Roujiamo, but also Braised Rou Biscuits.
The steamed buns and biscuits were made according to Gu Ye's stature. They were extremely small, and one was the size of a child's palm. Although the ingredients used are almost the same, the buns of Roujiamo are soft and soak up the broth of the braised pork. On the other hand, the crust of the meat patty is baked to a crisp and crispy texture, and the slag will fall off when you bite it, and the taste is completely different.
The meat in the two meals is marinated in the middle of the night in advance, which is very delicious.
Gu Ye ate one at home, and he didn't waste the rest. He wrapped it in oil paper and carried it into the palace in his arms.
Feng Yu arrived earlier than he was, and was placing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
Gu Ye came and said, "Where do you use you to make these? Have you eaten it in the morning? I brought something to eat."
As the eldest son of the emperor, Feng Yu's status in the Feng family has changed. Even the Qin family has to be polite to him. Naturally, no one dares to challenge him.
But in the end, the mother was not around, and although the servants served diligently, it was not comparable to when Ge Zhuer was in the house.
He had already eaten the morning food, but because it didn't suit his appetite, he didn't eat much.
In addition, it was brought to him by Gu Ye, Feng Yu naturally said: "Just a little hungry. What did His Highness bring?"
Gu Ye took out two oil-paper bags, one with Roujiamo and the other with braised pork biscuits, adding up to four in total.
As soon as the food was taken out, Xiaoluzi took a handkerchief wrapped in warm water to wipe their hands, and then someone brought tea, and took out a tablecloth to cover the desk to prevent oil from splashing on the four treasures of the study.
Gu Ye smiled and thanked him, but Xiao Luzi was busy saying he didn't dare.
Feng Yu was more careful than Gu Ye, and long before Gu Ye came, he noticed that the attitude of the palace servants had changed a bit today.
How to say this change, it is probably because the former palace people also had a good attitude and respect, but there was a sense of business.
Today, it is different. He is courteous and attentive. Like now, there is no need for Gu Ye to open his mouth, and someone will come to serve him.
This is a good sign, because it is beneficial to Gu Ye, so Feng Yu found out and didn't say anything.
As soon as they spread out, Lu Xu rubbed his eyes and came over.
He is the age of greed, because he felt fresh yesterday, so he got up early in the morning so smoothly.
Today, he lost that freshness, he couldn't get up, and he was still crying in Yonghe Palace.
In the end, the nanny and the palace maid worked together to dress and wash him, and then carried him over.
After entering the Wenhua Hall, Xiao Lu Xu walked to his table, snorted at Gu Ye and Feng Yu, and then started to move his small table and chairs.
Xiaoluzi and others, who had just been serving Gu Ye and Feng Yu diligently, all stood back to their positions at this time, looking at their noses and hearts, but did not see him tossing.
The tables and chairs in the Wenhua Hall are all made according to the size of a child. Although they are smaller than ordinary tables and chairs, they are also made of solid wood, which is not something that Lu Xu, a three-and-a-half-year-old, can shake with his small arms and calves.
Gu Ye put down the food in his hand, got up first to help, and Feng Yu followed.
"Where are you going to move?" Gu Ye asked.
Lu Xu pouted towards the side, "Move to a place far away from you!"
Gu Ye and Feng Yu looked at each other and laughed for a while, but they still helped Lu Xu move the table and chair a few feet away.
After moving, the three of them sat down.
Gu Ye and Feng Yu continued to eat, while Lu Xu lay on the table and resumed sleep.
But not long after lying down, Lu Xu's stomach growled loudly twice.
He got up too late, and naturally he didn't eat breakfast. Later, Concubine Feng asked someone to bring him some milk buns to eat, but Lu Xu didn't take it because it was too troublesome.
He thought that he was still in the palace anyway, so of course someone would bring him something to eat when he was hungry.
But the stomach screamed several times, but the others in the hall didn't seem to hear it.
Smelling the strong aroma of meat, Lu Xu became even more hungry, took a deep breath of the aroma twice, and swallowed several times.
Gu Ye was about to open his mouth with the untouched cake, but Feng Yu stopped him.
Feng Yu said with a smile, "Why are the steamed buns and biscuits brought by Your Highness so delicious? The steamed buns are soft and the biscuits are crispy. Of course, the best thing to eat is the braised pork, which is fat but not greasy, and it is full of gravy when you bite into it. It was so delicious, it ate me up!"
Feng Yu came from a family that pays attention to the rules, and he didn't make a sound while eating, but in order to match his own words, he slapped his mouth loudly twice.
Gu Ye endured a smile and said, "It's very delicious, especially this meat bun, it seems that I'm the only one who has it, and there are other places that have money and have not yet sold it! I gave it to the father and grandmother before, and they all praised it. Alas, I just brought too much, and there are still two copies left. It's this time again, and I think they have all had breakfast before coming here. It's a pity for such a delicious food... "
Lu Xu didn't know how much saliva he had swallowed, but he still said, "Hmph, you lie to children, of course the best food in the world is from the palace, how could it be eaten from outside? I don't believe it! Unless, unless... "
Gu Ye and Feng Yu looked at each other again, holding back their smile and asking him unless what
"I won't believe it unless you let me taste it!"
The remaining two untouched Roujiamo and Braised Rou Biscuits finally reached Lu Xu's hands.
Because they were all very small, Lu Xu, who always opened his mouth to eat, didn't ask anyone to feed him, so he took it and ate it himself.
Although Feng Yu's words were deliberately told to him, they were not adulterated.
The deliciousness exploded on the tip of the tongue, and Lu Xu's whole face was filled with a happy smile, and he quickly ate it clean.
"It's not so good!" Lu Xu said, and couldn't help burping loudly.
The so-called dead duck has a hard mouth, and that's it.
Gu Ye and Feng Yu couldn't help laughing, and Lu Xu blushed.
"Who made this? Why do you say you can't buy it with money?" Lu Xu couldn't help asking after recalling that feeling.
Gu Ye said: "It was made by my adoptive mother. Although my own restaurant will sell it, other people's cooking is not as delicious as her cooking, so even money can't buy it."
"She even cooked food for you?" Lu Xu was startled.
Concubine Feng had talked about Gu Yin and Wang Shi in private more than once or twice, of course there was nothing nice to say, they were all scolding them.
Lu Xu didn't understand a lot of words, he only knew that they were bad people.
Shouldn't the bad guy be full of calculations, thinking about how to harm people all day long? Why are you still spending time cooking
Gu Ye didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Yes, my adoptive mother's cooking skills are extraordinary, and the restaurant's business is entirely supported by her. Customers come like clouds, and there is nothing wrong with anyone who has tasted her craftsmanship."
Feng Yu replied: "That's true, I haven't been to my aunt's restaurant for a while, and I miss her craftsmanship very much."
Gu Ye heard the song and knew the elegance, and knew that it was false that Feng Yu wanted to go to dinner, but it was true that he wanted to visit Ge Zhuer.
This was what the two of them had already said.
Although there is no problem with the waist card, the entrance and exit of the palace can't be concealed from Emperor Zhengyuan, and it is naturally better with this reason.
Gu Ye said: "Okay, anyway, there is an hour lunch break at noon, let's hurry up and come back after dinner."
Having said that, Mr. Wen and another gentleman came to class, and the time for chatting is over.
After the first class was over in the morning, Gu Ye and Feng Yu were about to pack up after sending off the two gentlemen.
Xiaoluzi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness is running out of time, so let the servants do these trivial matters." He had already brought the cloaks of the two of them, and a sedan chair was parked at the entrance of the hall.
Gu Ye entered and exited the palace on two legs until now. When he saw the sedan chair, he asked strangely, "Can I sit here?"
He was afraid of breaking the rules.
Xiaoluzi explained: "In the past, His Highness has not recovered his identity, so you have to be careful when entering and leaving... Now His Highness is the King Lie. This sedan chair can be used by the ladies of the harem, why can't you take it? Rest assured, Your Highness, there are procedures. , the Ministry of Internal Affairs made it for you. Look at the sedan chair, there is still a sign of His Highness."
Gu Ye went out to take a look and saw a jade plaque with the word "lie" inscribed on the sedan chair.
Since it is something that has passed the Ming Road, you can naturally ride it with confidence.
Gu Ye then nodded, and thanked Xiaoluzi again, and greeted Feng Yu to ride with him.
Lu Xu fell asleep during class. Master Wen and the others looked at him and reminded him twice, but just after calling him up, he turned his head and fell asleep again.
The prince's honor, they are not good at using any excessive tricks. Even if the supervisor reminded him several times, it was useless, so they turned a blind eye and ignored him.
Hearing the voices outside the hall, Lu Xu rubbed his eyes and got up, and followed him with his short legs.
"I also need to go!"
Gu Ye and Feng Yu were both stunned when they heard the words. They didn't understand why he had to follow him. Hearing him akimbo, he threatened with a milky voice: "If I don't go, I'll cry! I'm very good at crying. clatter!"
He was crying for no reason, and Emperor Zhengyuan would definitely not blame Gu Ye and Feng Yu.
But the time for the lunch break was already tense, and one more explanation would naturally run out of time.
Gu Ye frowned, but he didn't say anything but said, "This sedan chair can't sit down, so I'll take you there next time, okay?"
The sedan chair is usually taken by one person, only because Gu Ye and Feng Yu are both young, they can sit next to each other.
With Lu Xu added, it would definitely not be able to squeeze any more.
Lu Xu turned towards Xiaoluzi and said, "What about my sedan chair? You ask someone to bring my sedan chair, and I'll sit on my own!"
Xiaoluzi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness only stays in Yonghe Palace every day, and he rides in the sedan chairs of the noble concubine."
"Then let someone carry my mother-in-law's sedan chair and drive me here." Lu Xu said as a matter of course.
"This... This Wenhua Palace is more than half an hour's journey back and forth from Yonghe Palace, and I have to answer the imperial concubine and get her permission."
In short, there is not enough time.
Lu Xu was aggrieved, and asked with red eyes: "Why is his sedan... sedan, waiting here early, mine has to spend so much time, I don't care, I don't care! I want to go!"
Xiaoluzi said, "His Royal Highness forgives your sins," while hanging his head and slandering, "His Royal Highness King Lie's sedan chair was the one that I heard that they were leaving the palace today, and specially sent someone to pick it up in advance!" You, Yonghe Palace, who privately scolded the eunuch as a "steel dog", still want this treatment? Beautiful!
During this stalemate, Qian Sansi came over from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and said with a smile, "Your Majesty heard that the two His Royal Highnesses and Young Master Feng are going to leave the palace, so he asked the servants to come and spread the word, saying that today is a good day, Your Highness and Young Master Feng I was tired from reading all morning, so I took a half-day off in the afternoon.”
These words made Gu Ye and Feng Yu feel confused.
"Your Highness King Lie's hat is crooked, the servant dares to give you a righteousness." Qian Sansi said and approached Gu Ye.
As he straightened Gu Ye's hat, he explained softly: "After yesterday, His Majesty made people stare at this place, and it was not passed on by anyone. His Majesty expects to see His Royal Highness King Lie and His Third Highness brother and brother respect, Lie. Your Royal Highness, relax and have fun."
After a few words, Qian Sansi backed away from Gu Ye.
Gu Ye mentally thought about what he said, and then he understood.
The so-called caring people, of course, are people from the Yonghe Palace Feng Guifei.
It's not that she is doing something bad from China, but that Emperor Zhengyuan has grown his mind after what happened yesterday, and asked people to report the situation of Wenhua Hall in real time.
So that's what let him know.
After knowing that, he specially gave them a holiday and asked Gu Ye to take Lu Xu out of the palace, still hoping that they would cultivate a brotherly relationship.
Although Gu Ye annoyed Lu Xu, this little crying bag, but remembering what Gu Yin said, he still didn't blame him for what Feng Guifei did.
Since this was what his emperor's father meant, Gu Ye thanked Qian Sansi first, and then greeted Lu Xu: "Let's go, aren't you going?"
Lu Xugang was still wiping away his tears, but when he heard this, he stopped crying immediately, seeing Feng Yu's sedan chair being pushed up and down, and instructing Xiaoluzi to carry him up.
Gu Ye glanced at Feng Yu who was about to walk, and followed him down.
The sedan chair was lifted steadily by the eunuch, and the group walked towards the direction of leaving the palace.
Gu Ye and Feng Yu were walking by and biting their ears.
Gu Ye said: "It's really that I didn't think about it comprehensively. The emperor acquiesced to him to follow, so I don't want to give him face."
Lu Xu is going, it's one thing to take care of him in trouble, the other thing is that this little guy will learn his tongue and let him tell Feng Guifei what happened today. Feng Guifei knows that Feng Yu is going to see his mother in private, but he doesn't know How to.
Feng Yu nodded, "I can save it all. It's fine, anyway, there's still half a day to rest. And it's a long time to come, so don't rush on this day."
"I'll be with him for a while, and you'll find an opportunity to talk to Aunt Pearl."
The two were discussing, but Lu Xu, who was sitting on the sedan chair, quit again, saying that they must be speaking ill of themselves.
He got down from the sedan chair again and insisted on walking with the two of them.
In the end, the sedan chair that Xiaoluzi took pains to arrange was still vacant, and the three of them still left the palace with their legs on.
