Chapter 148 149: What switch did the emperor turn on?
The night slowly fell, and Song Yunzhao was writing a letter home. The family must know about her confinement due to pregnancy. In her letter, she didn't mention what happened to the Queen Mother after she returned to the palace, only saying that everything was fine.
Now that there is a queen mother in the palace, she can't do things as freely as before.
Moreover, she has decided to formally entrust the eldest lady to act as her liaison with the Xie family. Now that the voice of the Xie family has become more prominent due to the two disasters last year, it has not only opened up the market in the capital.
The development of the Xie family is even smoother than in the book. I heard that Xie Jinshu’s elder brother failed the exam this time. The book says that he was a Jinshi, but she doesn’t quite remember which class of Jinshi it was. Now the development of the Xie family is even better than in the book. I don’t know if the members of the Xie family can unite as before.
However, Xie Jinshu and Xie Linlang brothers and sisters are deeply in love, as long as the two join forces, they are not afraid of suffering.
Song Yunzhao doesn't quite remember how it was written in the book, but only vaguely remembers that the Xie family also had a brief split. Since it can be resolved in the book, Xie Jinshu has contributed more to the Xie family now, so there should be no problem.
She wrote two books and put them in the book and took them out by the way, and asked her aunt to send them there. This time, Song Yunzhao changed her strategy and wrote the book after the son and the beautiful woman got married.
Which one doesn’t perform a few big plays, there are too many contests between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although the relationship between her and the queen mother is not considered mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all, it may not be the case in the future. She has to plan ahead.
Moreover, after marriage, there are not only conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also the issue of the emperor's ownership, which is a big deal.
Although the emperor in the book was obsessed with cleanliness, the queen mother couldn't hold back and brought An Shutong into the palace ahead of time. This person whose fighting strength in the book almost killed the heroine, looked delicate and gentle, but he was unambiguous in his actions.
After finishing writing the envelope so that Anshun could send it out, Zhang Maoquan came in quickly, and said with a smile: "Master, the emperor said that he will accompany you to finish the meal at night, so let the maidservant tell you first."
Song Yunzhao thought that she would confer Zhaoyi today, because she was pregnant and didn’t want to make her tired, so she didn’t do the canonization ceremony first, and said to the outside world that she would make it up after she gave birth, but Song Yunzhao was rushing to become a concubine, and then the concubine’s canonization ceremony would be done directly.
Since there is no canonization ceremony, Feng Yi will of course have dinner with her, and he will have to make up for it.
Song Yunzhao looked at Zhang Maoquan and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for Mr. Zhang, do you have any other orders from the emperor?"
Zhang Maoquan hurriedly said: "This is all a servant's job. If the master has something to do, he will directly order it. The emperor has nothing else for the slave to convey. If the master has nothing else to say, then the slave will go to the imperial dining room to see the master's meal list."
Song Yunzhao was a little strange, "Go to the imperial dining room to pass on the meal, and let Xiangxue and the others go for a walk, so you don't have to bother Manager Zhang."
"Master is pregnant with a little master, and food is the most important thing. The emperor is very worried about the meal of the master, so he specially allocated two chefs and seven or eight servants from the imperial dining room to serve the master. What you like to eat, what you want, just tell the slaves."
Song Yunzhao was taken aback, "The emperor specially called the chef for me?"
"Yes, the emperor treats his master really uniquely." Zhang Maoquan smiled wrinkled all over his face, with flowers in his eyes. He really chose the right person back then.
Song Yunzhao was a little surprised and surprised. She thought she would mention this to Feng Yi. Before the queen mother was not in the palace, only the third concubine could reach out to the dining room in the harem. Something happened to her.
But adding a Shouci Palace is different. The queen mother’s dining hall is higher than the queen’s, second only to the emperor. For the Shouci Palace’s meals, a lot of people need to be added to the dining room. When there are more people, it is easy to do something.
She would like to set up a small kitchen in Wangyou Palace, but the third concubine does not have a small kitchen, of course she is not qualified here, and now that the queen mother has not eaten a small kitchen, she can't even open it.
So, for the sake of safety, the imperial dining room has to be extra careful.
Anyway, she got this news, and her heart was warm and happy.
Zhang Maoquan looked at Song Zhaoyi's happy appearance, and quietly retreated without disturbing him. He first went to Taiji Palace to talk to the emperor. If Song Zhaoyi was so happy, the emperor must be happy to know.
Being able to brush your face in front of the emperor is an opportunity not to be missed.
As soon as Zhang Maoquan left, Nanny Yu came in, holding a booklet in her hand, "Master, this is a congratulatory gift from the palaces, please pay attention."
Song Yunzhao reached out to take it, and flipped through it casually. The things everyone gave were basically the same, and they were all things that were not easy to make mistakes. The only food that was sent was Concubine Shu.
Whether it is the Queen Mother, Concubine Zhuang, or Qin Xiyue, they all avoided suspicion very much.
Her eyes fell on the words Huayang Palace. What Qin Xiyue gave away was a jade Buddha statue with hundreds of sons and grandsons.
Send this in such a short time, obviously there is no time to find Liushang Bureau to do it, it can only be Qin Xiyue's own stuff.
But how did she bring her into the palace?
Thinking of the concubine seeing her family again, maybe Mrs. Qin sent her in.
No matter what, Song Yunzhao told Nanny Yu to put the Jade Buddha in a good place. She won't use it, and she doesn't hope to use it, but it's a gift from the hostess, so it's better to be careful.
Maybe she thinks too much, but be careful when sailing for ten thousand years.
Let Nanny Yu put away the brochure. Afterwards, there will be a gift in return, and there must be a basis for this.
"The emperor is here!"
Song Yunzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, when will the emperor come to Wangyou Palace to communicate like this?
She got up and went out. Before she could leave the hall, she saw Feng Yi striding in, followed by Meng Jiuchang and a row of servants, all holding things in their hands, her eyes flickered.
"The concubine pays homage to the emperor." Song Yunzhao quickly regained his composure and hurried forward to salute.
Feng Yi grabbed her, took her to his side, and asked, "I heard that many people came today, are you tired?"
Song Yunzhao took a look at Feng Yi, she was pregnant, why looked at the emperor as if he had turned on some terrible switch, such a trivial matter is worth asking?
This doesn't seem like his temper.
"Other people came to congratulate you with good intentions, but it's too late for me to be happy. Why do I feel tired?" Song Yunzhao replied with a smile.
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao, and said slowly: "This makes sense. Everyone else congratulates my concubine, so I can't fall behind. Meng Jiuchang, bring the present."
Today's update is complete, cute little ones.
