Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 157

[Chapter 157 Is Jingling City Again?]

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the people cleaned their houses one after another and began to pay homage to the Kitchen God. In the palace, the emperor sealed the imperial pen and held a banquet to entertain the subjects.

While the banquet was in full swing, the servant Xu Li walked in with two guards holding scrolls: “The servant sees the emperor.”

“Huh?” The emperor looked at the guards behind Xu Li, and immediately sat up straight with joy on his face, “Are those two guards sent by Princess Yide?”

Xu Li hurriedly bowed to answer: “Reporting to the emperor, it is by the side of His Royal Highness the eldest princess. Today, two people were specially sent to give the emperor a gift.”

The emperor was even more delighted, and even got up and walked down the steps himself: “The eldest princess has always missed me, and now she is in Huguo Temple praying for the Dali Dynasty, and she did not forget to give me gifts, which really moved my heart.”

The courtiers in the hall hurriedly echoed: “Yes, Princess Yide has a deep relationship with the emperor, and naturally always cares about the saint.”

“Princess Yide personally prayed for the country, and she is really a model for women in the world!”

The emperor was very happy when he heard it. Princess Yide was his sister. Before he ascended the throne, he had saved his life many times. She is supremely honored, but she retreats bravely, burns incense and worships Buddha all day, and ignores the slightest vulgarity.

“What gift did the eldest princess bring?”

The guard quickly and cautiously opened the scroll in his hand. This scroll is about seven feet long and four feet wide, with various figures painted on it. If you look closely, the houses and buildings are all in Jiangnan style. The scenery chooses a street as the main line. Thousands of people, with different clothes and expressions, and lifelike expressions, but they are all smiling to some extent.

The emperor was very shocked when he saw it: “A picture of Laba congee in Jingling City? Li Chong…this…is this Master Li Chong’s painting?”

A guard hurriedly presented a letter: “Report to the emperor, this is a personal letter from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.”

The emperor hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully.

The ministers on the side felt anxious in their hearts. To say that during this period of time, which name was mentioned most frequently in the courtroom, it was Jingling City. First, on the occasion of the emperor’s birthday banquet, Cao Yunnian’s wife sincerely prayed for the emperor, attracting colorful butterflies to dance, and the emperor was very happy. Therefore, Cao Yunnian was promoted.

Later, the spread of embroidery needles in Jingling City was regarded as a great achievement in educating the people, and the emperor personally gave him a reward. Then, Xiufang, which spread embroidery stitches, was burned, and the emperor gave him handwritten calligraphy again, which made Niyunfang and Buxianlou famous. Does the emperor still drink tea from the building without envy?

Now they have come up with a picture of Laba serving porridge. In their opinion, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, in which city no one cooks porridge? How could the porridge in Jingling City be painted as a picture and sent to the emperor? If it weren’t for this picture drawn by Master Li Chong, they would all suspect that the officials of Jingling City deliberately used this trick in order to show their faces in front of the emperor.

The emperor had already read the letter sent by Princess Yide, and when he looked at the scroll again, he couldn’t help but feel a little different: “All the nobles, come and take a look, the people don’t have many pictures, if Being able to live and work in peace and contentment makes it easy for the people to obey, many merchants work for the people, but many officials dine in plain food, which really makes me regret.”

“My minister is guilty.” Upon hearing this, the officials hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, feeling extremely frightened in their hearts.

The emperor pondered for a moment, sighed slightly, and carefully put away the letter from Princess Yide: “Sister Yide is reminding me that I should always remember the responsibility of being a king. Xu Li, you go and prepare what I have prepared. Gifts, plus ten dendrobium pearls, ten pieces of jade, ten pieces of brocade, plus the pigeon blood gemstones, rhino horn and agarwood that were donated a few days ago, and sent to the eldest princess, etc., I also wrote a letter, Take it to the eldest princess and see if there is anything missing from the eldest princess, go back and report it to me carefully, I will personally select it and send it over.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Xu Li was excited in his heart, but restrained his face. He knew that this was his fate. In the past, when the Emperor sent something to the eldest princess, he must dispatch the chief servant, Eunuch De. It is my turn to have this blessing to run errands.

The courtiers below knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound. They all said that the Heavenly family had no kinship. However, over the years, the eldest princess and the emperor’s sister and brother have become more and more distinct. The eldest princess gave one. Now that the New Year is coming, the gift prepared is about to empty the palace, which is really hard to understand.

The chief servant had already ordered people to clear most of the table in front of the emperor, and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the emperor to write a letter. After the letter was written, the emperor looked at the minister who was kneeling below: “Okay, let’s all get up, go to see the paintings and calligraphy sent by the eldest princess, and you must examine yourself, so that you can understand your responsibility as a minister. ”

“Yes, the ministers will follow the emperor’s teachings.”

The ministers below hurriedly went up to appreciate the painting of Master Li Chong according to the level of official rank. After reading it, they were more or less emotional in their hearts. to be immersed in it,

However, although those officials who have always used the pen as the knife have the same feelings, they are worried that the matter is not true to the name. The specific situation, if the matter is really true, it will naturally be rewarded, if it is not true, this arrogant and impetuous style will definitely be suppressed.

But having said that, this painting was sent by Princess Yide. With that person’s personality and style, there is a 90% chance that the matter is true. Sigh, other officials have to rack their brains to get some political achievements. As for the officials of Jingling City, it seems that they did nothing, and the credit and fame jumped directly into their arms, which is really jealous!

Mu Yunyao didn’t know that this unintentional act caused another wave in the capital.

As the New Year is approaching, each day has its own story. She simply shut down Niyunfang and Buxianlou. A group of people gathered in Jinxiu Garden lively, thinking about what to buy for the New Year.

For more than half a year, Mu Yunyao has taken every step with great care. Su Qing sees it in her eyes and hurts in her heart. Seeing that she has become a lot more lively these days, she urges Jin Lan, Jin Qiao and others to change. The tricks accompany Mu Yunyao to play in the garden.

Everything went smoothly according to her plan, and Mu Yunyao was very happy in her heart. She simply let go of her temper and played with it. Swing, archery, pot throwing, ball judging, ice play… The whole Jinxiu Garden was full of laughter.
