Zhu Yijun and the empress had just started eating in Kunning Palace, when an internal official came to report that the Empress Dowager Cisheng was about to arrive. Zhuang Jingjia was so frightened that she stood up and said, "It's my concubine's birthday, why did she alert the queen mother?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Well, I guess you came to see me, so... it has nothing to do with your birthday." As soon as he said this, he wanted to slap himself, thinking that it was not easy to find someone who could The opportunity to untie Zhuang Jingjia's knot was thrown away.
The words have already been spoken, and there is no use regretting them. Zhu Yijun and the Queen had just stood at the entrance of the main hall of Kunning Palace when they saw Queen Mother Fengyu had already entered the palace door.
Zhu Yijun took Zhuang Jingjia two steps forward and asked with a smile: "Why is the queen here? Just ask her son and the queen to come over - can we have lunch?"
Empress Dowager Li got out of the harem and said with a smile on her face: "Well, I haven't used it yet. Because Mrs. Wu Ningbo and others can't stay in the harem, I'm afraid the empress will not have a good birthday. I originally wanted to be with her two. I'm eating and wishing her a birthday by the way, but I don't want the emperor to be here."
After hearing this, Zhuang Jingjia's eyes were red and she saluted: "Thank you to your mother for thinking about me. How can I live a long life at such a young age? I have to do it because of the national ceremony. The emperor's court meeting lasted a long time today, and I rested for an hour before coming here." eat something."
Queen Mother Li listened and nodded. Zhu Yijun and Zhuang Jingjia quickly accompanied her into Kunning Palace, made her sit at the top, and asked the small kitchen of Kunning Palace to pass the meal.
Seeing that the food on the table had not been touched with a few chopsticks, Cisheng stopped and said, "No need. I just picked up two chopsticks and took two light bites."
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Queen Mother, this is the first time that our family has dinner at the same table." After hearing this, Queen Mother Li smiled and said: "Well, the Queen has just entered the palace. When the Chinese New Year comes this year, we will still eat together. Meal and vigil.”
Zhuang Jingjia pouted after hearing this and said: "Mother, can't you go and disturb me for a few meals on weekdays?" After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li said happily: "That's the best. It's boring for me to eat by myself. If you are free, go there more often." Stay with me, I can use it more.”
Several people talked about it and found out that Empress Dowager Li did as she pleased in Kunning Palace, and did not strictly abide by the rule of "eating without speaking" when she and Zhu Yijun had dinner together in Qianqing Palace.
After eating and drinking tea, Queen Mother Li said: "Well, does the emperor want to punish some ministers today?"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Yes, yes." He didn't explain anything.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng smiled and said: "I heard the Huangmen report to me out of breath, saying that a minister was forcing the palace. I slapped him on the face and said: 'If you talk about foreign affairs in the harem again, I will give you a meal. Banish the board'!"
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he said: "There is no need to blame him harshly, Queen Mother. There was some trouble in the Huangji Palace today."
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li's eyes revealed the feeling of licking the calf that made Zhu Yijun's heart tremble. She said: "The emperor will definitely be able to handle it well. Don't worry about me. It's interesting to hear the late emperor talk about Shizong. Zuo Shunmen said This has saved forty years of worry and effort! Sometimes the emperor should not be too kind."
After hearing what Empress Dowager Li said, Zhu Yijun's heart was filled with unknown feelings. Since time traveling to the pro-government, the Empress Dowager Li in his mind has many identities as political opponents, but very few as a mother. After listening to her talk today, he realized that for a mother, her son cannot be bullied by outsiders. Yes, why does Queen Mother Li love power? She was just worried about her son.
I felt secretly ashamed in my heart, feeling that I owed him a lot, and at the same time, I suddenly felt a feeling of envy. She looked into Empress Dowager Li's eyes and said with a smile: "How has my son been bullied in these years? Don't worry, mother, everything is in the palm of your son's hands!"
...
Although there was a drama about forcing the palace to go to the palace in the morning, not one of the thirty-seven people handed over the imperial palace card and left the palace on their own to go home.
Although Lu Shu scolded himself for being confused, his bad mood did not affect his appetite at all. He ate two bowls of white rice in a row.
While eating white rice, Lu Shusheng praised: "The rice from Jingxi is just better than the rice from Cao! It's strange that the same rice seeds grown in Jingxi have longer grains and taste better!"
Lu Tiaoyang said from the side: "What Mr. Lu said is probably the same as 'Oranges grow in Huainan and oranges grow'."
Next to him, Guo Chaobin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Master Lu is saying that I heard that the Institute of Geosciences has done a study on this matter, and it is related to the soil and water quality in western Beijing——"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Han said with a smile: "Do you still need to study this matter? The old farmer knows everything."
After hearing this, Guo Chaobin sneered and said: "Master Zhang, you are wrong. I have read the research report. In addition to being related to soil water quality, there is also the reason for the temperature difference between day and night. From this, Gewuyuan judged that the further north you go, the better the rice." Delicious. By the way, do you know what temperature difference is?"
Zhang Han listened to Guo Chaobin's words and sneered: "I've never heard of rice being grown in the north. It's good to be able to grow corn and sweet potatoes in the past two years. If you want to eat rice, just wait until the next life."
Guo Chaobin laughed and said, "Zhang Tianguan doesn't have to worry about not being able to wait. Farmers who have moved to Daning this year have drained the swamps and created rice fields. If rice seeds can be grown in the autumn, I will definitely give them to Mr. Zhang." Go and try a pound."
...
The two of them finished their meal while bickering without mentioning it. After all the ministers had eaten the simple meal given by the emperor, under the organization of the British Duke, they entered the Huangji Hall again and stood in line.
When they returned to the Huangji Hall, they found that the large table with the annual plans of various ministries in the Huangji Hall was missing, replaced by a huge map.
The British male was dazzled and told Tan Guozuo, "Go and see what that is."
Tan Guozuo trotted over, took a look, turned around and shouted to the British Duke: "My lord, this is the "Comprehensive Picture of the Enlightenment of All Nations"!
After hearing this, the British Duke opened his mouth and cursed: "You can't even read the damn words? That's called Kan'yu', not Kanxing!"
After hearing this, Tan Guozuo took a closer look at the small characters at the bottom of the map and muttered: "Who knows what Kanyu is?" He rolled his eyes upward and shouted: "The person who made the map deserves to die!"
When the British duke heard about it, he stood up from the ridge and asked, "What's wrong? You have his seed? This is such a surprise."
Tan Guozuo asked the British Duke to come under the map, pointed at the map and said: "Master Guo, please look at it. The Ming Dynasty is on the right, just such a small piece. Isn't this nonsense?"
As soon as he said this, he heard the official's call: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Tan Guozuo quickly returned to the army with the British Duke. When the British Duke paid homage, he thought that the world is too big. Where did the emperor get the big map? No matter who presented this picture, there must be a commendation in the newspaper, but this matter was not mentioned in the newspaper - where did it come from?
