Chapter 1111: Eating
After all the arrangements stopped, Concubine Yun sat silently in the room and waited for Lou Yun's arrival. She hadn't seen her child in a long time, and she didn't know what had happened to her. can see her nephew, this may be a little favor from God, after all, the coldness of this deep palace is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Although the food and clothing are prosperous and rich, they also have to endure endless loneliness, and the real court life is not as beautiful as it is, it is very lonely. And it's a deception.
Other men in the harem can't enter, let alone a handsome prince who also comes to pursue and pamper a certain concubine. Then the concubine was mixed in the middle of the warm-hearted prince, the almighty imperial doctor, and the domineering emperor. That's just a story.
There are only eunuchs here, and the scope of the concubines' activities is limited to the harem, except for some concubines who have the right to go out to the imperial garden and other places to visit, other concubines do not have this right.
And don't say that a concubine is not clear with other men when she leaves the palace without permission, as long as the concubine steps out of the harem without permission, it is a crime of killing the head. Being in the harem feels like going to jail.
It's just that Concubine Yun is a noble concubine, and she has more authority than others, and she also has martial arts, so she can avoid the guards in the palace and sneak out of the palace. As for the others, they can only passively wait for the emperor's favor, if they can be lucky enough to conceive a child, it is the best. At least she won't die.
And the concubines are not all the same age, such as the current Zhu Di, the queen is in her fifties. And Concubine Yun is also nearly forty years old. Such an age gap is not too big, but now Tao Xuan, the youngest among the concubines, is only sixteen years old, and he is still a child.
And the emperor is already in his fifties. If the emperor dies, this poor child will also be buried. Even those who are not martyred will be imprisoned in the cold palace.
If you enter a place like the cold palace, you will be imprisoned for life. Most of the people who went in weren't insane, or they were depressed. Of course, there are also some who have fornication with the guards of the cold palace.
Concubine Yun can see her relatives now, this child is her sister's bloodline, and she and Lou Yun's mother are twin sisters. This child is also equivalent to her child in Concubine Yun's heart.
Lou Yun sat there for an hour, the emperor rubbed his forehead, and he closed his eyes to recuperate.
When Gonggong Cao saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and took away the processed official documents.
The emperor said: "Let Qiu Aiqing wait for a long time." Oh yes, Qiu Aiqing hasn't had lunch yet, Cao Qing, isn't it time for dinner?"
Gonggong Cao replied: "Back to the emperor, the imperial dining room has been waiting for a long time. ”
The emperor smiled and said, "Qiu Aiqing will eat with me." ”
Lou Yun hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The minister doesn't dare!"
The emperor said: "Qiu Aiqing, you are now resisting the decree, and resisting the decree is going to kill your head." ”
Lou Yun was shocked in his heart, he can not be afraid of anyone, but he can't be afraid of this person, the martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes still need to do it if they want to kill someone, and who this person wants to die is just a matter of words. And thousands of people's heads fell to the ground, just a matter of this person's words.
Lou Yun hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!"
The emperor walked in front, and Lou Yun and Gonggong Cao followed.
For the etiquette shown by Lou Yun, Gonggong Cao was very satisfied. However, Father-in-law Cao will not leave Lou Yun too far, in addition to being the emperor's close attendant, he is also his personal bodyguard. A martial arts master like Lou Yun is still a hidden danger by the emperor's side.
Gonggong Cao admires Lou Yun very much, this is not only the relationship between Concubine Yun, but also the emperor's respect for him, at least this child can be used to suppress Murong Zheng, in recent years, Murong Zheng's power is too great. Even several systems of Dongchang and Jinyiwei were infiltrated by his people. If this continues, Gonggong Cao's rights will be hollowed out by Murong Zheng.
And the emperor's meaning was to let Murong Zheng divide them. He will not interfere until Murong Zheng is really full-fledged.
Gonggong Cao wanted Lou Yun to divide Murong Zheng. At least Lou Yun has the background of Concubine Yun, although the emperor will abandon Concubine Yun at a critical moment, but Gonggong Cao has been by his side for many years, and the emperor's temper is still understood.
This emperor is very particular about eating.
When the emperor eats, the first bite of each dish is eaten by the eunuchs first. After that, the emperor ate it, for fear that someone would poison him.
And the emperor's meal is a total of one hundred and eight dishes.
And the emperor can only eat three bites of each dish, if there are more than three bites, then the dish can not be served again for at least a month.
And many dishes are not for the emperor to eat, but for the emperor to see.
There is a great deal of attention to eating.
The main reason for the large number of dishes is to prevent someone from poisoning the meal and plotting to kill the emperor. Because the emperor is also a human being, people can do nothing on this day, but they can't skip eating and drinking.
Therefore, in order for someone to poison the emperor in the dish, the people of Shangshan Jian also worked hard.
With so many dishes, the emperor can only eat a dozen dishes, and he can only eat three bites of each dish.
And the emperor's meals are not autonomous, but controlled by the eunuchs.
Zhu Di is not in a very good mood these days, and he has no appetite, he just eats a simple bite of each dish.
When he saw any delicacies from the mountains and seas, he sent someone to give them to Lou Yun to eat.
The emperor can only eat three bites of each dish, but Lou Yun is not the emperor, he doesn't have so many rules, Lou Yun naturally eats openly.
The skills of the imperial chef in the palace are not lost to Qiu Yuling and Nangong Li.
Some of the dishes were even better than what they made.
Seeing Lou Yun eating so happily, the emperor also smiled with relief.
Although this child is Concubine Yun's nephew, he has more than enough to be Zhu Di's grandson in terms of age.
When people are old, they always like children. Even the emperor.
At this time, Zhu Di was thinking about how good it would be if this child was really his son. At least the one in front of him doesn't have so many mental skills, unlike the other ones who are full of smoke and miasma in order to compete for the throne, and the brothers and friends are also turning against each other. The current emperor misses the past days even more.
If it weren't for this golden chair, their brothers would not have met each other, Zhu Di still remembered his eldest brother, the eldest prince Zhu Biao, defending their brothers in front of his father.
It's a pity that his unlucky brother died in front of his father. If this were not the case, it must not be him sitting on the throne now, but his eldest brother.
Zhu Di misses many things in the past, people are old, and they always like to look back on the past. It's as if the past is right in front of you.
