The palace banquet ended in an extremely harmonious manner, and Yun Zhao returned to Hua Calyx Tower with great satisfaction.
After returning home, he called Zhang Maoquan for questioning, mainly asking the palace attendant on duty today if there was anything wrong.
"Empress, two people work in a team. No matter what happens, two people are not allowed to leave the post together. Today, all the palace servants dare not leave without permission." Zhang Maoquan lowered his head and replied, "Some people are upset, but the empress will come in advance immediately. The palace attendants who have been arranged to be on duty will be on top."
Because the palace attendants on duty are randomly called on the spot, it is impossible to buy them out in advance. There are dozens of people, and it is impossible to buy them all.
After today's banquet was successfully completed, Yun Zhao knew that her arrangement had worked, and there was no surprise.
These palace people may not care about their own lives, but they all have families and cannot die with their whole family.
“Did anything else happen?” Yun Zhao asked again.
Zhang Maoquan shook his head, "Everything is as usual in Nanxun Palace. There are also ladies and girls admiring the scenery by the lake. However, there are also many palace people guarding the lake, so nothing happened."
If you want to cause an accident where you slip or accidentally fall into the water, you must first blind the servants who are standing three steps, one post, five steps and one post by the lake.
"Everyone has worked hard today. I will give each of them two taels of silver as a reward from my inner treasury." Yun Zhao said, "In addition, I will give each of them more money to make clothes."
The palace people have a certain number of clothes for the four seasons of the year. They usually take great care of them when doing errands. Once they get dirty or damaged, they have to pay for them to be made by themselves.
A palace outfit costs a lot of money. The key is that even with the money, you may not be able to hire someone to make it. Yunzhao made them clothes for each of them, which made them happier than rewarding them with silver.
Zhang Maoquan said happily: "Now everyone is happy, and the reward from the empress has touched their hearts."
Yun Zhao thought to herself that she used to be a worker, so of course she knew what workers needed most.
In the palace, money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is things, especially those things that cannot be bought with money, which are the most tempting.
“Is there any progress with Xu Sixi?” Yun Zhao asked again.
When mentioning this matter, Zhang Maoquan’s expression became much more serious, “The round of review has not yet been completed, and there are too many people in the palace, so I’m afraid we have to wait a while.”
“Where is the Queen Mother?” Yun Zhao asked again.
The Queen Mother was interested in attending the banquet before, but she didn't say a word today. She obviously didn't want to give Yun Zhao the face.
However, Yun Zhao didn't care about this, she wished the Queen Mother wouldn't show up.
"The Queen Mother went to Baihua Pavilion to visit Concubine An today, but she didn't look well when she came out," Zhang Maoquan replied.
Yun Zhao frowned slightly, and then said: "I asked you to investigate Zhao Cainu's affairs in the imperial kitchen before, have you done so?"
"After checking, Zhao Cainu wanted to eat local snacks from Lingfeng, but the imperial dining room was short of manpower to prepare for the palace banquet, and could not spare anyone to do it. Zhao Cainu was in a hurry, so she asked the dining room There was an unpleasant commotion in the room, so I wanted to use the stove myself.
The kitchen steward did not agree. There were a number of stoves. There was a banquet around today, and a lot of stoves were temporarily added. There was no extra stove for Zhao Cainu. "
Zhao Maoquan felt that Zhao Cainu was really looking for trouble. There was no good time to eat snacks. She had to rush to this time. The kitchen was so busy that she had no time to serve her.
“That means Zhao Cainu failed to accomplish this?”
"yes."
Song Yunzhao was thoughtful, then looked at Zhang Maoquan and ordered, "Keep people watching and see if Zhao Cainu wants to deal with the kitchen next. If she makes any moves, don't alert the snake, first find out what she is going to do." Say nothing more."
Zhang Maoquan thought after hearing this. Could it be that what Zhao Cainu wanted was not snacks, but something else?
That needs to be watched carefully.
After Zhang Maoquan retired, Yun Zhao washed and changed his clothes, and then went to see his son. Feng Yun was already sleepy now and was lying down under the care of his wet nurse.
Yun Zhao lifted the curtain and took a look, but did not go over to disturb his sleep. He signaled the wet nurse not to move, but the wet nurse did not dare to move and could only continue to coax the second prince.
Feng Zou came over in a flash and said, "Mother concubine."
This voice shouted, and Feng Yun was immediately awakened. Through the window, he could hear him shouting, "Brother, brother!" Yun Zhao:...
Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao's changing face, stepped sideways to block his eldest son, and waved to him.
Feng Zu also knew that he was in trouble, so he ran away to find his younger brother.
Yun Zhao looked at Feng Yi, "Just spoil him!"
Feng Yi came over with a good temper and held Yun Zhao's hand, "Don't be angry. Let Feng Yi coax his brother to sleep at night."
Yun Zhao was not really angry with his son, so he was led back by Feng Yi and said as he walked: "Is everything going well for you there today?"
Feng Yi nodded, "Fortunately, a few of them were drunk and talking drunkenly."
When he was drunk, he even accused him of doting on a noble concubine. Feng Yi was angry and laughed and told Yun Zhao about it in amusement.
Song Yunzhao's face was quite wonderful. She was really resented by others, and she wanted to complain after drinking. She was too persistent.
“What about you, is everything going well here?”
“It’s not bad, just a little something…”
Yun Zhao briefly explained the matter of horse racing, "I thought I would have a rare opportunity, so I promised everyone to come and ask for your Majesty's instructions. Your Majesty, can you agree?"
Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao, "Are you going to play too?"
Your leg was injured last time, why are you still playing?
“I’ll cheer them on and prepare prizes!” Yun Zhao didn’t want his thighs to suffer anymore.
Horse riding is so majestic, but also so painful.
You have to practice it to get better. She stayed in the palace all day, so it was impossible to practice it.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhao looked at Feng Yi, "If this is a real competition, why don't I take the little sisters in the harem to practice and get familiar with it first? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose miserably."
The concubines in the harem are not as good as her. She was taken out to ride a horse by Feng Yi before. They have not ridden a horse for many years.
Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao's troubled face and was so happy that he said to her: "Then I will ask someone to circle a horse farm for you and let you take them to practice."
“This is really great.” Yun Zhao was overjoyed.
Feng Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Yun Zhao, and he stretched out his hand to cover her eyes.
Yun Zhao's eyes instantly darkened, "What are you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his lips, and a kiss that smelled of wine fell.
Song Yunzhao stretched out his hand and pushed Feng Yi. He hadn't washed up yet, and the smell of alcohol all over his body was really smoky.
Feng Yi was disgusted and let go of Yun Zhao angrily.
She was the only one who dared to do this.
Yun Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, immediately asked someone to bring water in, and pushed Feng Yi into the clean room himself.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yi pulled back and pulled Yun Zhao in.
She still dares to despise him. Let’s see where she runs this time.
The second update is complete. There is no update in the early morning. Don’t wait any longer. I won’t be able to code at night.
