Chapter 256 Brothers, Friends and Sisters Gong "No!"
The emperor suddenly stopped and waved his hand.
"Preach the message!"
"Let Imperial Food Bureau pick the ten most skilled chefs, take them with you, and set off for Liangzhou immediately!"
"Also, go to the Imperial Clothing Bureau, pack up the new tribute horses Flowing Light Brocade, and those Fire Silkworm Silk beddings and send them over to me!"
The old lady's scalp was numb from listening.
"His Majesty... This... is a long way away. In case it hasn't been delivered yet, His Highness plans to return to Beijing... is already on the way..."
The emperor scratched his neck and said harshly, "I don't care!"
Just when the monarch and his ministers were in the Nuan Pavilion, one was going crazy and the other had a headache.
Suddenly there was a voice singing outside.
"Empress Empress has arrived--"
With this voice.
The atmosphere in the room instantly solidified.
For this Empress who comes from the Aristocratic Clan family.
He can't say he likes it, nor can he say he dislikes it.
It was just to appease Aristocratic Clan when he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not yet stable.
On weekdays, we treat each other as guests, which is fine.
But at this time...
I'm still worried about whether my sister will come back. Why are you here to cause trouble?
Before the emperor could finish his slander.
The beaded curtains rustled and the rings jingled.
I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs walking in surrounded by a beautiful woman.
His face is like a silver plate and his eyes are like apricots.
The lips are red without being dotted, and the eyebrows are green without being painted.
She is indeed a graceful and noble person, a good mother who respects the world.
"Concubine, please refer to His Majesty."
The emperor raised his hand and spoke calmly.
"No gift."
"It's snowing, Empress is not resting in the palace, why did you come to me?"
Empress stood up, took the food box from the hand of the palace maid next to him, and personally held it in front of the case.
"I heard that His Majesty has lost his appetite in the past two days, so I asked the small kitchen to stew some bird's nests and pears, thinking of giving them to His Majesty to moisten his throat."
"Just now outside the palace, I heard His Majesty Long Yan was furious, but what troubles did you have in the past?"
The emperor put his hands behind his back and turned around, looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window.
When the old eunuch saw this, he complained in his heart, and said bravely, "Returning to your Majesty, His Majesty is thinking about Liangzhou, His Highness Grand Princess, and is arranging for someone to send some things to keep out the cold."
"Oh?"
Empress was slightly startled.
Regarding Grand Princess, who had been living abroad for sixteen years, she actually had some complicated feelings.
After all.
Ever since he recognized his wife, His Majesty, who was usually gloomy and uncertain, seemed to have become a different person.
"It turns out it was prepared for the royal sister."
Empress smiled, his tone gentle.
"His Majesty's deep brotherhood is Great Tang's blessing."
"It's just..."
She hesitated for a moment, then spoke to persuade, "His Majesty, although I am a woman, I don't understand government affairs."
"But I also know that this Liangzhou journey is far away. Even if we hurry up, it will take more than ten days."
"It's already the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."
"If I send this thing over, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival."
"Besides..."
Empress paused and meant something.
"Since His Highness Grand Princess has entered into spiritual practice, I heard that he has also entered into Lotus-Planting."
"I'm afraid I don't care about the ordinary cold and heat."
"His Majesty makes such a big splash, if it spreads, even though it is a good intention, it will inevitably make people feel... too doting."
What I said is reasonable and reasonable, and I can't find any fault with it.
But in the emperor's ears, it sounded harsh.
Doting?
My biological sister, if I don't dote on you, who will?
Is it possible to pamper the bad old man in court?
"Empress I don't like hearing this anymore."
The emperor squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.
"What do you mean by not caring about the common cold and heat?"
"That's my girl! She has been homeless since she was a child and has never had a good life!"
"Now in that bitterly cold land in the northwest, there is not even a single person who knows how cold it is and how hot it is!"
"What's wrong with me giving you some quilts and some cooks?"
"If possible, I would like to move the entire palace to her!"
Empress was overwhelmed by this meal, and the smile on his face was a little unbearable.
How did she know that the emperor would have such a big reaction?
"His Majesty Calm down, I am... I don't mean this..."
"Okay."
The emperor waved his hand impatiently.
"If you have nothing else to do, just step back."
"I still have to prepare an edict, so I don't have time to talk to you about all this."
Empress bit his lip, a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes.
But I also know the temper of this His Majesty, so I dare not say more.
"Yes, I will retire."
Wait until Empress and his party retreat.
In the Nuan Pavilion, only the monarch and his ministers were left.
The old eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stepped forward cautiously.
"His Majesty..."
"Were you just a little too... too harsh towards my empress?"
"Which one?"
The emperor rolled his eyes.
"I'm just telling the truth."
"It makes me tired just looking at it."
Said.
The emperor sighed again and looked out the window.
At this time.
In Chang'an City, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger.
According to the custom of Great Tang.
The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the small year, and Kitchen God must be sacrificed.
This day.
Every household must clean the inside and outside of the house, which is called sweeping the dust.
That is to say, all the bad luck and bad luck of that year should be swept away.
Also prepare those sweet and sticky sugar melons and enshrine them in front of the statue of Lord Kitchen God.
The purpose is to let this Lord Kitchen God say good things to God and ensure peace in the lower world.
Now in this deep palace.
In Imperial Kitchen, baskets of maltose have already been prepared.
Just waiting to make that sugar melon.
Court of Imperial Sacrifices officials also started busy writing Spring Festival couplets and painting door gods.
Everywhere is prosperous and full of joy.
But the emperor couldn't feel happy in his heart.
The emperor looked at the flying snow in the sky and his voice was a little low.
"You said..."
"You Wujiang, that boy, did you get what you said?"
The old eunuch quickly bowed and said, "Back to His Majesty, Lord You is the envoy of Gold Robe Inspector. Counting the days, I should have seen His Highness by now."
"Then... you said, that girl... will come back?"
When the old eunuch heard this, he felt troubled in his heart.
How did this make him react?
Although he has not had much contact with Jiang Yuechu.
But just hearing the news about it, Great Demon killed it, and Lotus-Planting Demon King was hard on Tai Lake.
This pile, piece by piece.
Who is a peaceful master?
If she doesn't want to come back.
Don't say it's You Wujiang who brought an oral message.
Even if His Majesty personally issued the imperial edict, I'm afraid it might not be effective.
The old eunuch rolled his eyes and smiled, "His Majesty, you are worrying too much, Grand Princess, who is that? That is our Great Tang's golden branch, His Majesty's biological sister!"
"Your Highness must have been homesick after wandering around for so many years."
"Now His Majesty has opened his mouth and asked Lord You to invite him."
"No matter how busy your Highness is, no matter how busy you are, you will definitely come back to spend the New Year with His Majesty!"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"
The emperor patted his thigh, and the sadness on his face disappeared a lot.
"She is my sister, and it is only natural that I let her come back to celebrate the New Year!"
"Does she dare to come back?"
"If she dares not to come back..."
The emperor snorted twice, as if he wanted to say something harsh.
But I held it in for a long time.
In the end, he just added a weak sentence.
"If she really doesn't come back..."
"Then this year..."
"But that's okay!"
Say it.
The emperor flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked to the desk.
"Grind ink!"
"I want to write the Spring Festival couplets myself!"
"Just stick it on the door of the Gold Jade Palace!"
The old eunuch stepped forward quickly.
After a stick of incense.
The old eunuch looked on and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
I saw the first couplet. "Golden branches and jade leaves return to their hometown."
The second line is: Phoenix dances and dragon flies to celebrate reunion.
"Hengbiao..."
The emperor held up his pen and pondered for a moment.
On the rice paper, I splashed ink.
Write down four big characters.
The force penetrates the back of the paper and penetrates three-thirds of the wood.
"Brothers, friends, sisters!"
I have something to do in the morning and I have to go back to the countryside.
There will be two more chapters when I come back in the afternoon.
