In the imperial dining room, Chef Zhao was surrounded by a few rough eunuchs. These eunuchs each took a sip of Brother Zhao and helped them with their hands and feet.
Seeing the diligence of these eunuchs, the chef in the red case area turned his head and snorted, shaking the pot in his hand, while scolding the rough servant who was burning the fire for making the fire a little more vigorous.
Chef Zhao carefully placed the dessert on the plate, not letting others interfere. After setting it, he carefully placed the food box, and when the little eunuch took the food box away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the help cooks who were holding him both inside and out, he couldn't help but hope in his heart that Lord Gu Xian could stay in the palace for a longer time, so that his life would be better.
Sure enough, after half an hour, someone from Kangquan Palace came to give a "thank you". Chef Zhao got a beautifully embroidered purse with several pieces of silver in it. He smiled and gave out a dime to Qian. The person who came to deliver the purse carefully put the purse into his arms.
This purse is the craftsmanship of the people in the palace, and it is also a beautiful thing to take back for my mother-in-law.
Others are envious of Chef Zhao's good luck, but also feel that they are favored by Gu Xianjun. If there is a princess in the palace, I am afraid it will be nothing more than that. I don't know what good luck this little noble person took to make the Queen Mother so blue-eyed.
In Kangquan Palace, Gu Rujiu was playing chess with the Queen Mother, but unfortunately she was a stinky chess player who lost several consecutive games in just half an hour.
Jin Yang saw that she had a worried face and stroked the ground with his toes several times, and finally he couldn't help but lean over.
Seeing him coming, Gu Rujiu couldn't help but send a distress signal to him with his eyes. Jin Yang coughed dryly and whispered, "Junior sister can try to move the third piece from the left."
Gu Rujiu did it without hesitation.
Empress Dowager Zhou moved her brows and continued to play chess.
"Seventh from the right lane."
"Third from the left."
"Fourth from the right."
"Your Majesty, do you know that you are a real gentleman by watching chess?" Seeing that most of her advantage had been removed, the Queen Mother Zhou held a chess piece and said, "This is not a gentleman's demeanor."
"Mother, forgive me, my son can't bear to see Junior Sister so embarrassed," Jin Yang smiled warmly and bowed to the Queen Mother Zhou, "The sun is just right now, why don't you go outside for a walk?"
When Gu Rujiu heard this, she hurriedly dropped the chess piece in her hand, nodded and said, "Yes, more sun exposure is good for Your Majesty's health."
"Since that's the case..." Empress Dowager Zhou tugged at a chess piece and smiled, before putting down the chess piece after a while, "Then go out for a walk."
Gu Rujiu smiled and stepped forward to help her, she took the opportunity to hold Gu Rujiu's arm, rather like a mother and daughter with excellent feelings, rather than respect and inferiority.
Before leaving, she glanced at the chessboard. The number of black chess moves seemed to be gentle and conservative, but in fact, there was a hidden mystery. If she played again, her white stones would definitely be outflanked, and even the back path would be blocked.
In Gu Rujiu's view, the garden in the palace is not too big, but it is better than the word sophistication. It can be seen that the gardener in the palace has spent a lot of time in order to take care of the garden.
The spring sun shines on her body, which makes people feel warm and lazy. Gu Rujiu couldn't help yawning. When she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she found that Jin Yang noticed her movement, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Perhaps sensing her embarrassment, Jin Yang naturally averted his gaze and said, "Empress mother, junior sister, why don't we sit in the pavilion for a while?"
The Babao Pavilion next to it is very delicately built, and the sun pours in, making people feel inexplicably comfortable before entering.
Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the two juniors and nodded: "Alright."
When Aunt Liu saw this, she took a few palace maids and eunuchs to put cushions on the stone bench in the pavilion, and then held the incense burner almost, and then retreated to the side.
At this moment, the sun is mild, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and Yan Yan is smiling. It is really quiet and comfortable.
Holding the teacup, Gu Rujiu looked at the bees and butterflies flying in the garden with a smile on her face.
Jin Yang followed her gaze, only to see dense flowers and unknown colorful butterflies. He pushed the pastry dish beside him in the direction of Gu Rujiu, "Junior sister, would you like to come for my crowning ceremony?"
Gu Rujiu suddenly turned back to look at the smiling young man beside her, and did not answer in silence.
The emperor's crown ceremony is very solemn, and ordinary people cannot participate. She is not a royal family member, and she is only a small county monarch. How could she enter such an occasion
The Queen Mother Zhou didn't seem to notice the movements of the two juniors, she just picked up a thumb-sized snack and put it in her mouth, but her eyes were a bit complicated.
Seeing that Gu Rujiu didn't answer, Jin Yang was not annoyed, just smiled: "The first time I met my junior sister, I felt that my junior sister Yu Xue was cute, and I always thought that it would be a blessing if I had such a lovely sister. "
Gu Rujiu remembered the past events about Jin Yang mentioned by his father, and his expression was slightly moved.
"Fortunately, you and I finally have a brother-sister friendship. How can a younger sister be absent for such an important occasion as a crown ceremony?" Jin Yang raised the teacup and bowed to Gu Rujiu, "Would your younger sister give Yuxiong this face?"
The corners of Gu Rujiu's mouth moved, and finally she said, "If it is possible, the servants and daughters will definitely be present."
Hearing this, the smile on Jin Yang's face was a bit strong: "That's good."
Empress Dowager Zhou turned her head to look outside the pavilion, where there were lush flowers and plants, a splendid scene, but her worries became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into helplessness and bitterness, and took a sip of tea in silence.
Jin Yang stayed at Kangquan Palace for most of the day, and only left with satisfaction after eating dinner. Before leaving, he said again and again that he would definitely accompany the queen mother to Wuzhuang Temple tomorrow.
The queen mother chased him out like a mosquito, and turned back to let Gu Rujiu go back to the companion hall to rest. After Gu Rujiu left, the smile on her face collapsed.
"Queen Mother," Aunt Liu loosened her bun for her. Seeing her unhappy expression, she asked worriedly, "What's the matter with you?"
"Maybe I shouldn't let Jiujiu enter the palace," the Queen Mother Zhou rubbed her temples, and said a little tiredly, "The emperor is getting bigger and bigger, and his mind is getting deeper and deeper, even if it is me, it may not be able to guess." Actually. This is also a good thing, as a qualified emperor, it should be like this.
But his attitude towards Jiu Jiu...
"Aren't you doing this for the county lord?" Aunt Liu went to put the removed phoenix hairpin into the jewelry box and persuaded in a low voice, "The emperor is about to take charge of the government, if you don't plan much for her at the moment, you will plan more in the future. It will be bad if you are misunderstood by the emperor."
"I want to have one more support after a long time, but..." Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head and fell silent. She really loved her for a long time, so she didn't want her to be stuck in this kind of place for the rest of her life.
As long as Jiujiu has this idea, she may think of a way to make it happen, but this girl just doesn't have this idea.
Although the emperor was not her own child, he still chose the child who entered the palace by himself. Even if blood was not thicker than water, he still had the true feelings of being dependent on each other. If he has such thoughts about Jiujiu, what should she do
In the Zichen Hall, Jin Yang couldn't sleep either. He stayed in the study for a long time, and finally wrote an imperial decree by himself and stamped the imperial seal on it.
In the west side hall of Kangquan Palace, Gu Rujiu looked at the furnishings in the house. After bathing, she lay comfortably on the big soft bed, pulled the silk brocade quilt over her body, and fell asleep fragrantly.
