Seeing that the empress seemed to be possessed by the late emperor, all the ministers came out to list her. As soon as this was dealt with, at least two or three more stood up and shouted, "I have something to report."
There were too many people, so Xining asked the people who stood up to explain in one sentence what they wanted to play, and then selected the important ones to play first, and then dealt with the rest.
The three princes and nine ministers all had smiles on their faces, and they all thought that Prince Duan, who did not have to go to court, should be allowed to see that the empress was not a coward.
The originally lifeless court hall was the most lively in the past five years.
Xi Ning's mouth was dry as he spoke, but how could he possibly finish all the things he had accumulated over the past five years in just one morning meeting.
After talking about ten or so things, she felt tired, so she said: "As of today, all those who still have memorials will be submitted to Zazi. Simple matters will be handled by Changxin Palace. I will also choose to report matters that cannot be handled. Select a part of the finished memorial to view."
The eunuch in charge quickly shouted: "Quit the court!" He had been standing for a long time. He had never stood for so long before, and the soles of his feet were almost numb.
"Farewell Your Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down and saluted.
After leaving the main hall, the ministers were still chatting while walking. We even made appointments to have dinner out or at home and continued the discussion to see how to get the book. Some things don't necessarily need to be written down. There should be a morning meeting tomorrow, so you can talk about it tomorrow. This bypasses the assistant minister.
Some matters are old matters. If those assistant ministers could solve them, they would have been solved long ago.
As soon as Xi Ning arrived at the door of the palace, the palace manager came to greet her and said that the queen was here. The queen had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Xi Ning walked in and saw the Queen, dressed like a green bamboo, standing inside the palace door waiting.
When he saw her, he was about to kneel down, but Xining walked in and said, "No need to kneel down!"
Then he shouted: "Where's the tea? It needs to be warm. Hurry!"
The chief steward immediately shouted: "There's tea, bring it quickly."
The tea is prepared in advance. First, use boiling water to make it thick, and then put it aside. When the empress wants to drink it, add hot water, dilute it a bit, and drink it after serving it.
He took off the imperial crown from his head and brought the tea.
Xining picked up a bowl of tea and drank it. "Gudonggudong" he finished it in one breath: "More more!"
The chief steward felt something was wrong, so he quickly picked up the bowl of tea next to him that was originally intended for the queen, and presented it to the empress with both hands.
After Xining picked it up, he drank it in one breath. Then he wiped his mouth and said, "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 with this palace.
The queen was not happy because the empress planned to drink tea slowly with him: "Why is your majesty so thirsty?"
Xi Ning asked the palace maid to take off her court clothes, and was very helpless: "There are too many ministers and servants to report today, and it has not ended until now. I have been talking all morning, it would be strange not to be thirsty."
The queen saw that the maids on the side had prepared ordinary clothes, plain and elegant, not as dazzling as before. She went over to take the clothes in her hands and help the empress put them on.
Just like an old married couple, the Queen couldn't help but blame her: "Why don't you ask someone to serve tea?"
Xining was a little embarrassed, but considering that this was the owner's husband, there was nothing embarrassing about 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 of her polite words, so she let the queen take care of her.
He raised his hands and asked the queen to put sleeves on his arms: "The ministers and servants below are all like this. How dare I hold the tea and drink it?"
The empress wiped her lips with a smile: "So what? There is a tea boy next to you who specializes in serving tea. It seems that I haven't had the opportunity for a long time and I don't know how to serve you. At this time, you should take the initiative to serve the tea."
There seemed to be 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 to be an emperor, so it is normal to not know.
The chief manager immediately said with sincerity: "These are young slaves who don't know how to serve. Later, the old slave will ask someone to take care of him and replace him with another one. Let these slaves learn how to serve."
"There is no need to mobilize troops." Xining took the two ends of the belt, tied it on himself, walked to the side and sat down: "Queen of love, you also sit down."
The Queen walked to the chair on the other side of the small square table and sat down.
Finally able to sit down, she let out a long breath: "Seeing that he is still young, it will not be easy for him to enter the palace, so don't scare him. Just remind him that after half an hour, if the morning court continues, he will be Just bring the tea."
"Yes!" The chief steward immediately bowed his waist and looked touched: "Your Majesty is so kind, even this servant feels sorry for you. This little thing is really lucky."
Even the queen took a second look.
Xi Ning waved his hand: "It's time to have lunch, hurry up and tell the story. Your Majesty and I will have lunch together."
"Yes~" The chief manager took a few steps back, turned around, and walked out in small steps.
Xining turned to ask: "You have been here for a long time, right? Don't stand there anymore. 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. She should be looking at her neck: "I obey your order."
It is true that the world is governed by justice, and all actions are in compliance with the rules, including words.
Then Xining smelled something: "It smells so good, it smells like meat!"
The queen finally smiled: "Your Majesty has a good sense of smell, it's meat. I brought the dried meat that your Majesty mentioned yesterday, and I want your Majesty to try it."
A palace maid came forward with a plate, which was a small wooden box. Another palace maid opened the lid of the wooden box, and the aroma suddenly became stronger. There were pieces of fragrant roasted meat inside. Dark red, some even burnt, exuding a charming luster. It should be brushed with honey!
Before the palace maid could get a tool to pick out the meat, Xi Ning directly picked up a piece with her fingers and took a bite.
"Hmm~, delicious!" Xining's eyebrows stretched. I have been hungry for a long time, and now it tastes even more delicious.
"Take it and put it on the document over there!" Xining ate happily, and even licked his fingers after eating. It's honey, thick and sweet.
