Qianzhuo looked at Yunshang blankly, very puzzled.
Yun Shang took a soft pillow and put it behind her, and leaned against it: "Although Cao Yi's wife and son are the descendants of the Cao family's direct relatives, to the Cao family, they are not totally unavoidable. If the Cao family directly abandons them , these chess pieces are useless. Just wait and see, the Sun family is hiding now, they must have already made up their minds, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, just watch the show."
The second day is the first day of Longevity Festival.
According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, today is mainly the congratulations of the courtiers and the celebrations of the common people.
These two arrangements have nothing to do with Yun Shang, so Yun Shang simply stayed in Weiyang Palace and did not go out.
"I heard from the servants at the Golden Palace that today's congratulations by hundreds of officials are very spectacular. Many subordinate officials from all over the world have entered Jincheng to offer gifts and celebrate His Majesty's birthday. What about the palace gate?"
Yun Chang looked at the ready-to-move appearance of several people in the hall, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, do you want to see it?"
"Your Majesty, don't you want to go? It's rare to see such a spectacle."
Yun Shang curled her lips into a smile: "It's hard to say that it's rare to see, after all, His Majesty's birthday comes once a year, and we can still see him today next year."
"It's only once a year."
Yun Chang glanced at several people: "Go and see, the weather is too hot, so I won't go."
After saying this, Yunshang suddenly came back to his senses: "You said that the officials of Chaohe lined up from the Golden Palace all the way to the gate of the Second Palace?"
"That's right, that's what the palace guards who were replaced from the Golden Palace just said."
"With such a big sun, if there is such a long queue, I'm afraid it will take a whole day for the congratulations." Yun Chang frowned: "Your Majesty is already very hard sitting in the golden palace, what's more Not to mention those officials who are under the scorching sun."
Yun Chang pondered for a moment: "Go and see, the Ministry of Rites has prepared things for the adults to cool off the sun, if not, you can ask someone to prepare some umbrellas and send them over, and then order the imperial dining room to prepare some iced ones." Summer soup, white fungus and lotus seed soup, mung bean soup, etc. are all available, and they are ready for the adults to send over with ice cubes."
Qianzhuo and the others responded in a hurry, and looked at Yunshang again: "Your Majesty really doesn't want us to go over and have a look?"
"No, no, no." Yun Chang waved her hand: "It's too hot, I don't want to move at all now. Besides, how can there be a reason why the queen of a country ran to peek? What's the proper way? If someone sees it, don't you?" Die from a joke?"
"That's true." Qianzhuo forgot about this, and didn't persuade Yunshang any more, and only took the palace people there.
Yun Shang read a book in Weiyang Palace for a while, felt sleepy, and simply took a nap on the soft couch for a while, only to be woken up by the noise outside.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qianzhu walking in with a food box.
It was probably really hot outside, and there were still beads of sweat on his forehead when Qian Zhuo came in.
Yun Shang hurriedly said: "Wipe your sweat, there is an ice basin in the hall, it's so cold and hot, you will sweat again, and wind evil enters your body, and you will easily get sick."
Qianzhuo hurriedly obeyed Yunshang's instructions, took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, and then said: "It's true, as the workers of the Golden Palace said, those officials who came to pay homage to congratulations had a very long queue. Although the team did not actually reach the Second Palace Gate, they did arrive at the Third Palace Gate."
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful. The Ministry of Rituals is probably due to the fact that it is the first time to do it, and there is not much experience. As the Madam said, there is no preparation for the adults to shade and relieve the heat. The sun is so big outside, those adults are standing outside. Last day, not to mention a day, even standing for half a day, I'm afraid it would be unbearable."
"When the servants were holding umbrellas and carrying the ice-cold heat-relieving soup, those normally serious adults looked at the servants as if they were seeing a living Bodhisattva."
"The servants told them that the maidservant had prepared these things for the servants, and all the adults praised the empress for her thoughtfulness."
Qianzhu stuck out his tongue and laughed: "Look, servant girl, those grown-ups are almost treating your mother as a second-born parent."
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Yun Chang couldn't help laughing.
"Didn't you see, my lady, the sun is scorching outside. After a while in the sun, I feel too hot. When the slaves passed by, some adults couldn't hold on. There were a few old ministers who were particularly weak. I have asked the palace servants to help me go down and rest."
As Qian Zhuo said, he opened the food box and brought out a bowl of soup from it: "The soup in the imperial dining room has been boiled a lot, and the maidservant brought some mung bean soup to the empress."
Yun Shang answered and took it over, then took out another plate of mung bean cakes and said with a smile: "Mung bean soup must be served with mung bean cakes."
Yun Shang took a sip of mung bean soup, and as soon as the cold mung bean soup entered her mouth, she felt as if her whole body had come alive: "So, summer is the last thing I like to live, especially when my body has been damaged in the past two years. After that, in the summer, I felt as if I was sweating every time I moved, and I couldn't help feeling irritable."
"It's not good in winter either." Qianzhuo said with a smile, "It's cold and wet in winter, as if all the cold air is going into the bones."
Yun Chang smiled: "In winter, there is a fire dragon burning in the house. It's okay if you don't go out, and even if you go out, you can still wear two more. It's not good in summer, and you can't wear this skin all over your body." Shall I scrape it off?"
"Too."
Yun Shang finished drinking the mung bean soup, handed the bowl back to Qian Zhuo, and looked at the sky outside: "I don't know when His Majesty will be back."
"The servant looks at the long line outside, I'm afraid I have to go at night."
Yun Chang nodded and waved his hand: "Go on and watch over there, His Majesty's birthday, it's a festive event for all officials to congratulate, but don't let everyone get into trouble."
Qian Zhuo responded, and retreated again.
Indeed, as Qian Zhuo said, Luo Qingyan received the congratulations from all officials, and when he returned to Weiyang Palace, it was already dark.
Yun Chang heard the commotion outside, so she stood up and went to meet her.
"I heard that there are a lot of officials who came to congratulate today. Your Majesty has worked hard all day, but are you tired?"
Luo Yan smiled softly: "It's just sitting and talking, what's so tiring, I think that when I was fighting, I led the army on the road for days and nights without sleep, and I spent more days fighting on the battlefield It’s pretty easy now.”
Hearing Luo Qingyan's tone, Yun Shang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Luo Qingyan showed doubts: "What are you laughing at?"
