Chapter 33

"There are also rules for a daughter's family to greet her, and she should perform the ceremony of Wanfu. Holding the arm of the family like this is nothing to greet her;
You are the son of heaven's concubine, how can you be like the kneeling servant below, you don't know the etiquette!
And your hair accessories, clothes, what are they..."

"She is so strict with her own daughter, and she is merciless in front of her servants. It seems that this queen mother not only looks dignified, but also attaches great importance to etiquette inside."

Li Yuntang, who was "accidentally injured" by the Queen Mother Yi'an's words, did not feel angry. Instead, he first analyzed her character, and then thought of it uncontrollably:
"Such a character, presumably, when he served the late emperor, he was unwilling to practice some heresy methods, and he was unable to make any tactful gestures."

In this way, a problem that has troubled Li Yuntang for a long time was also solved:
Although the Empress Dowager Yining was pretty, she was far inferior in temperament and appearance compared to the empress in the palace; but judging from the news from the palace people, it was the Empress Dowager Yining who was favored more.

If he guessed correctly, Empress Dowager Yining must be much stronger than Empress Yi'an in the boudoir; only in this way can she win the favor of the old emperor despite her inferior appearance.

Besides, Princess Kun'an, after being reprimanded for a while, acted like a normal person, took the teacup her mother had drunk, drank it all in one gulp, then turned her gaze to Li Yuntang who was kneeling, and changed the subject:
"What mistake did this little eunuch make, so hard that the empress mother disciplined her personally?"

Before Madam Yi'an could speak again, Princess Kun'an had already put down her teacup, jumped in front of Li Yuntang who was kneeling in two steps, tapped his forearm lightly with the boots under her feet, and asked:
"Here, let's talk about you, a little eunuch, how dare you make my queen mother angry."

Let's be nice to each other.
Seeing a pair of exquisite leather boots in front of him, and the faint fragrance of makeup and powder, Li Yuntang knew that the princess had arrived in front of him, but before he thought of how to answer, Princess Kun'an's voice came from his ear:

"I'm asking you something, look up."

Li Yuntang was afraid of offending the princess again, so he still felt the pain, so he listened to the order without hesitation, and slowly raised his head; then, a handsome face with a sassy look that was somewhat similar to the little emperor came into view.

Her hair was not combed into women's hair accessories, but tied into a high ponytail, and she was wearing a Yisha, which is the most common style of flying fish costumes in later generations of film and television dramas.

This appearance, coupled with this attire, once made Li Yuntang feel that she was not like a princess of the Han family, but like a princess of Mongolia, and she couldn't help but call out—Princess Minmin.

Li Yuntang, who had never met this princess before, didn't know much about her temperament, but he still didn't dare to speak lightly, and replied truthfully: "Princess, it's the lack of courtesy of the servants who offended the Queen Mother."

"You little eunuch, how dare you point at Sang and scold Huai!"

Hearing these words, Princess Kun'an felt as if she had been hit by a sore foot; she raised her leg and kicked it firmly on Li Yuntang's shoulder, almost kicking him to the ground.

After a muffled snort, Li Yuntang tried his best to stabilize his figure and knelt up again, but the anger in his heart could not be dispelled. He secretly thought that this little princess must not fall into his hands, otherwise he would definitely give her a big gift.

"Stop messing around."

Empress Dowager Yi'an uttered four words softly, her voice sounded much calmer than before, but she silenced the lively Princess Kun'an all of a sudden.

Because the princess knew that when her mother spoke in such a tone, she must have business to do; if she interrupted her nonsense, she would not simply be reprimanded.

Seeing that her daughter had submitted, the Empress Dowager Yi'an pointed her finger at Li Yuntang again: "Tell me, where did you go? If you dare to hide it, no one can save you!"

Li Yuntang had already made up his mind to carry it to the death, so naturally he would not be intimidated by one or two threats, and still insisted on the original words: "Your servant dare not hide anything, everything you just said is the truth."

"Then continue to answer the four questions just now. Aijia will send someone to take your answers and go to the street to find people to confront them one by one. If you can get it right, it will naturally prove that what you said is true."

The Empress Dowager Yi'an's tone was still unhurried, but under the blessing of her aura, every word she uttered was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Yuntang's heart, making him breathless.

"Slave. After arriving in the outer city, the slave was stopped by a group of foreigners."

"Don't think of any excuses, just blame Xiyi; even if you are embarrassed by Xiyi, it's still due to your failure to do things!"

The Empress Dowager Yi'an is not someone who is easy to deal with, and she will not believe such unprovable arguments. Without thinking about it, she made up a crime against Li Yuntang:

"The sincerity and filial piety of the Son of Heaven was wasted because of your unfavorable handling of affairs, do you know what should be the crime?
Come on, drag it out of the door, and charge forty with the stick! "

Seeing that the little eunuch refused to change his words, the Empress Dowager Yi'an didn't bother to waste any more words, and went straight to call people in, as if she wanted to use torture to force out the truth.

"The Empress Dowager, please forgive me. Although the servants were stopped by a few Western barbarians, resulting in a delay of half a day's work, it's not like they have gained nothing!"

Li Yuntang immediately begged for mercy. Whether it was him now or the former owner, he was used to being pampered; if he really wanted to be greeted with a slap in the face, he would probably be unable to hold on to the confession, so he had no choice but to argue:

"The emperor's filial piety moved the heavens and the earth, and blessed the servants to find a rare delicacy in the streets and alleys!"

"Rare delicacies?"

Seeing that Li Yuntang was so determined, Empress Dowager Yi'an murmured in her heart. She couldn't distinguish the truth from the words for a while, so she asked:

"Ordinary people's homes, during the holidays, it's great to be able to get a little bit of meat, what kind of delicacies can they have?"

This question made Li Yuntang feel relieved, if he could listen to his flickering, there would be room for maneuver in the matter; the eunuchs who heard the news outside the door were also well versed in the way of observing words and expressions, and wisely stood where they were, waiting for the Queen Mother further order.

There are too many delicacies in the previous life, and it should not be difficult to satisfy the queen mother, but Li Yuntang chose the one with the most contrasting name and taste for the sake of delaying time:

"The Empress Dowager, the name of this dish is—boiled cabbage!"

The Empress Dowager Yi'an really has a poor appetite recently, and she can't eat three or five mouthfuls of food every day, so she was withdrawn; if the little eunuch in front of her is really looking for recipes instead of doing other things, she is not going to do it again Difficult.

After all, this is the emperor's close servant. The little emperor just agreed to give Gao Xiaogong a title. If she turned around and punished the people in the Qianqing Palace, it would be like reaching out to hit the smiling person, and she would push the emperor towards the civil servants.

But it was boiled water and cabbage. Empress Dowager Yi'an felt as if she had been fooled by a fool, so she immediately ordered:
"Drag out!"
