Chapter 57
: With her cooking skills...
The reason why the emperor left the seat early was because Grand Secretary Zhang Yu entered the palace due to incidents.
When he returned to the Ganqing Palace, he saw Zhang Yu standing under the corridor. The emperor bowed first: "Teacher."
Zhang Yu was extremely literary. He once even the late emperor, who was known as both civil and military, was willing to take advantage of him. Later, he asked him to be the prince's master, and later he was ordered to teach the emperor.
Shangshu Zhang also has a beautiful appearance. He was the Tanhualang of the previous dynasty. Even if he is for no reason now, his style is still not as good as before. He even has a mellow and fragrant temperament. Standing there just like a landscape.
Seeing the emperor's return smell of smoke, and the eunuch behind him was holding a large glass pot in his hand, Zhang Shangshu smiled: "The emperor seems to be in good spirits today."
The emperor also smiled and replied: "Stay with the Queen Mother for lunch for a while. - The teacher came into the palace to speak."
The emperor's martial arts attainments came from the joint guidance of several nobles, and because the late emperor was also responsible for part of it, the Queen Qingyun and others did not dare to regard themselves as masters. However, Zhang Yu was the main teaching in his study, and even if he was not named Grand Tutor, he could still deserve this title.
"The emperor and the empress dowager have been chatting for a long time, and I guess they will gain something?"
After giving the throne to Zhang Shangshu asked this question.
"I just spent some time talking about daily life. The court also needed time to find out the ins and outs of Shi En's case."
Speaking of this, the emperor received a stack of letters from the desk, "I asked the Grand Secretary to enter the palace, but there are a few letters to ask you to identify the handwriting."
Zhang Yu took it and looked at it, then frowned: "Letter from Shi Jiajia?"
The names on the cover of the letter are all the names of Shi En and his family who have been mentioned during this period.
"These letters were once one of the important evidences for impeaching Shi En, but recently someone in Dali Temple saw that Shi En's letters seemed to have been tampered with. They are not experts after all. If you have a deep understanding of handwriting, you are the Grand Secretary.
"I know that the Grand Secretary has already said that he was wrong about Shi En, but if Shi En was really wronged, I still hope that the Grand Secretary can clear his innocence."
Zhang Yu glanced at him a few times, then closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Take it back to the emperor in three days."
"Okay." Emperor's jaws: "I will wait three days later for the Grand Secretary."
After Zhang Yu left, the emperor sat down in front of the window, thought for a while, and then called someone to take the glass pot over.
He turned on the cup on the table and poured a cup, and watched it in the skylight.
The cup is still a glass luminous cup, the orange-red juice is translucent, fresh, sweet and smooth in the mouth. After eating the strong-tasting barbecue, one cup is really comfortable and pleasant to enter.
The chef in the imperial kitchen has never made such a thing. People all say that the lady in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion is arrogant and domineering, but she made a pot of radish juice like today!
This Zhao Su, who was almost unrecognizable, had a strange look on her body, which was obvious.
"Emperor, Hou Qingyun is asking for a meeting."
The emperor turned his head slightly and said for a moment: "Transfer."
When Hou Qingyun entered the palace, he immediately noticed a refreshing fragrance mixed with the palace that had always been lit with ambergris. After a closer look, the emperor on the other side had already spoken in the East Pavilion: "Grandmaster."
The Queen Qingyun replied to the emperor and walked over. She saw the emperor sitting under the window. There was a large glass pot on the table in front of her, which contained half a bottle of orange-red and mellow water. The cup in the emperor's hand also contained it. The fragrance just now was what it emitted.
But somehow, I always think it should appear in my home when I look at it.
"Did Mrs. Chen provide any clues?"
The emperor signaled to give him a seat, then turned on the empty cup on the table and poured him a glass of carrot juice.
Hou Qingyun took out the piece of paper that Mrs. Chen had commented. "There are currently a big problem with the line between the Imperial Medicines and the drug dealer, which may be directly related to the whereabouts of the price difference there.
"Mrs. Chen has just asked her to draw up several key points that may have problems. She has already handed over the following to follow up, but because it involves verification and evidence collection, the emperor also asks the emperor to ask Dali Temple to help."
"Can Dali Temple have reliable candidates?"
"Catcher Zhang Ying, his father once served in the Six Gates of the previous dynasty. He has a strange personality, but he handled the case very carefully."
The emperor nodded, took a folding fan next to him, and now he put on a few lines of words, then took out a seal with his thumb from his purse and covered it.
"This fan can be used to order all the yamen to do all the cheap things."
Hou Qingyun bowed and took over the folding fan. When he saw the carrot juice on the table, he thought of Zhao Su's entrustment and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard Su Jie'er say in the mansion that you want her to enter the palace as a guard?"
The emperor nodded: "That's true."
Hou Qingyun replied: "It's so hard for her to be a palace servant, how can she be a guard? You are not unaware that she has been so stupid since she was a child. She has not made any progress in more than ten years. Staying in the palace will only cause a lot of trouble to the emperor. Please withdraw this order."
"Does the Grand Governor know how I made this decision?" The emperor looked at him slowly.
"Isn't it because of Guard Yu?"
"Maid Yu had a tragedy in the forbidden palace, and he had broken the rules. Her departure had nothing to do with Su Jie'er."
"The emperor means..."
"How much does the Grand Governor know about Su Jie'er?" the emperor suddenly said.
Hou Qingyun unexpectedly faced this embarrassing topic again. "I have neglected my duties as my father, and I have not learned much about her over the years."
"So I don't even know when she learned cooking skills?"
“…I don’t know.”
The emperor sighed.
Hou Qingyun felt that sweat was about to shed on his forehead.
Fortunately, the emperor did not ask any further questions, but picked up the topic just now: "The Queen Mother's favor for Su Jie'er has made rapid progress, all because Su Jie'er is good at cooking. Now because of Shi En's case, there is some disagreement between me and the Queen Mother, and it also needs a ease.
"I took this opportunity to promote Su Jie'er as the imperial guard so that she could go to the Queen Mother's place to walk around from time to time. If this could make the Queen Mother feel happy, it would not be in vain for my filial piety."
When it comes to the word "filial piety", Qingyun Hou didn't know what to say.
If he insists on saying no, wouldn’t that prevent the emperor from fulfilling his filial piety?
But thinking that Zhao Su was not good at doing anything in the past, he finally struggled: "But the guards were responsible for the defense of the Qianqing Palace. Even if the emperor needed to be filial, he could not ignore the safety of the dragon body!"
"When something really happens, I will naturally not expect her."
The emperor said as he pushed the carrot juice poured for him forward: "Don't worry, just because she has a cooking skill that can satisfy the Queen Mother, it will be of great benefit to stay in the palace.
"Besides, the Grand Governor should not want the Empress Dowager to separate from me from my mother and son, so I will continue to be alienated?"
