The Faint Empress 22
Chapter 1399 The Faint Empress 22
Seeing that the empress was possessed by the former emperor, all the ministers came out to the list one after another. As soon as this was dealt with, at least two or three stood up and shouted "Your minister has played".
There were too many people, so Xining asked the person who stood up to explain in one sentence what to play, and then selected the important prelude, and then dealt with the rest.
The three lords and nine lords all had smiles on their faces, and they all thought that they should let King Duan, who didn't have to go to court, see that the empress was not a fool.
The court hall, which was originally lifeless, has been the busiest today in the past five years.
Xining's mouth was parched, but how could it be possible to finish talking about the things accumulated in the past five years in this morning.
After talking about a dozen or so things, she felt tired, so she said: "I'm here today, all those who still have to play, submit a letter. Simple matters will be handled by Changxin Palace. If you choose to report things that cannot be handled, I will also report them to you." I will select a part of the finished playbook to view."
The eunuch in charge hurriedly shouted: "Retire!" He had been standing for a long time, never standing for so long, and the soles of his feet were almost numb.
"Farewell to Your Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down and saluted.
After leaving the main hall, all the ministers were still talking about it while walking.There are even appointments to go out and eat at home, and to continue the discussion, let's see how to get on the book.Some things don't have to be in the book. There should be an early court tomorrow, so you can talk about it tomorrow, which bypasses the assistant minister.
Some things are old things. If those auxiliary ministers could solve them, they would have been solved long ago.
As soon as Xining arrived at the door of the bedroom, the maid in charge of the palace came to greet her, saying that the queen was here, and the queen had been waiting inside the door for a long time.
Xi Ning walked in, and saw the Empress Dowager, who was dressed like green bamboo, waiting inside the bedroom door.
Seeing her, she was about to kneel, but Xining walked inside: "No need to kneel!"
Then shouted: "Where is the tea, it needs to be warm, hurry up!"
The chief manager immediately shouted, "Where's the tea, bring it quickly."
The tea is prepared in advance, first use boiling water, make it thick, and then put it next to it.When the empress wants to drink, add hot water, dilute it a bit, and drink it after serving it.
Take off the imperial crown on the head, and the tea is served.
Xi Ning picked up a bowl of tea and drank it, "Gudong Gudong" drank it in one breath: "More!"
The chief executive felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly picked up the next bowl of tea that was originally intended for the queen, and respected the empress with both hands.
After Xi Ning picked it up, he drank it in one gulp.Then he wiped his mouth: "Go and pour two more cups of hot tea."
Hot tea is meant to be drunk slowly, if you don't understand the meaning, then don't mess around in this palace.
The queen was not happy because the empress planned to drink tea with him slowly: "Why is your majesty so thirsty?"
Xining asked the maid to take off her court dress, feeling very helpless: "There are too many ministers playing today, and the talk is only over now. It's no wonder you're not thirsty after talking all morning."
The queen saw that the maids at the side had already prepared ordinary clothes, plain and elegant, not as dazzling as before, and she took the clothes in her hand and helped the empress wear them.
Just like an old husband and wife, the queen couldn't help but blame: "Why don't you ask someone to serve tea?"
Xining was a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, this is the husband of the body owner, and there is no shame in helping him put on a coat.And the more she talked, the more tired she became. She had been talking all morning, and she didn't want to waste any more polite words, so she let the queen serve her.
Raising his hands, he asked the queen to put sleeves on his arms: "The servants below are also like this, how dare I drink tea?"
The Empress smiled, "So what? There is a tea boy next to me, who is dedicated to serving tea. It seems that I haven't had the opportunity for a long time, and I don't know how to serve it. At this time, I should take the initiative to serve the tea."
It seems that there is a little eunuch standing there with two cups of tea.
It seems that the body owner has never asked for tea, and it is her first time as emperor, so it is normal not to know.
The chief manager immediately said with trepidation: "It's all little slaves who can't serve. Later, the old slaves will ask someone to clean him up and replace him with another one. Let these slaves learn how to serve."
"You don't need to mobilize the crowd." Xi Ning took the two ends of the belt, tied it on himself, walked to the side and sat down: "After love, you sit too."
The Empress walked to the chair on the other side of the small square table and sat down, seeing the maid next to her, she helped the Empress insert a white jade hairpin of the same style as his.The corners of his mouth could not help but smile, and he lowered his eyes slightly.
Finally able to sit down, she let out a long breath: "Seeing that he is still young, it is not easy to enter the palace, so don't scare him. Just remind him, and after half an hour, if you don't leave early, you will leave Just serve the tea."
"Yes!" The chief steward immediately bowed his waist, with a moved look: "Your Majesty is so kind, even the slaves feel sorry for him. This little thing is really lucky."
Even the queen took a second look.
Xining waved his hand: "It's time for lunch, hurry up and spread the word, the queen and I will have dinner together."
"Yes~" The chief executive took a few steps back, turned around, and walked out in small steps.
Xining turned to ask: "Have you been here for a long time? Don't stand there in the future, the whole palace is your home, you can sit wherever you want."
The Queen lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into her eyes, but should look at her neck: "I obey the order."
It's really a fair world, every action is in line with the rules, and so is what you say.
Then Xining smelled something: "It's so fragrant, it seems to be meaty!"
The Queen finally smiled: "Your Majesty has a good sense of smell, it's meat. I brought the preserved meat that Your Majesty mentioned yesterday, and I want His Majesty to try it."
A court lady came forward with a plate, which was a small wooden box.Another court lady opened the lid of the wooden box, and the aroma became stronger immediately, and there were slices of roasted dried meat inside.Dark red, some burnt, exudes a charming luster.It should be brushed with honey!
Before the lady-in-waiting could pick up the tools and take out the jerky, Xining directly pinched a piece with her fingers and took a bite.
"Mm~, delicious!" Xining's eyebrows stretched.I've been hungry for a long time, and it's even sweeter to eat now.
"Take it, put it on the desk over there!" Xi Ning ate happily, and licked his fingers after eating.It's honey, sticky and sweet.
After eating, she turned her head and saw the queen looking straight at her.
"What's wrong?" Xining wiped his mouth with the other hand.Is there honey sticking to the mouth?
The queen laughed: "I didn't expect..."
"Didn't think of anything?"
The Queen's smile made people feel comfortable: "I didn't expect His Majesty to be such a person..."
"What kind of person?" Xining blinked, well, the previous body owner was really not that good: "Is it greedy, fatuous?"
The Queen shook her head: "No, Your Majesty is a kind-hearted, benevolent King, and he likes to eat meat made by his ministers. Your Majesty's current appearance should be the real Majesty."
