The general's wife through time

Chapter 109 Emperor Jingkang’s careful plan

Eunuch Li's legs softened and he knelt down in front of Emperor Jingkang, "No, Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I was thinking that since you didn't even go over to pay your respects to the Queen Mother during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would be time to spread the word so that those officials could hear it and give advice." Your Majesty is disrespecting the Queen Mother. Today is the Double Ninth Festival. It is better to respect the elderly and send this gift to stop those people's mouths."

"Huh, no need! Concentrate? No one knows where her heart has gone, but it's definitely not worshiping the Buddha."

"Oh, Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and looked around furtively. He was relieved when he saw that the spies from Kunning Palace were not here.

The Queen Mother is also the same. She doesn't care about the government affairs anymore. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she insists on placing two people next to His Majesty, causing His Majesty's temper to rise again. Why bother!

The same goes for Your Majesty. You know she is the Queen Mother, but you still insist on staying by her side, acting like she does one thing in front of her and another behind her back. Aren't you tired?

Emperor Jingkang kicked Eunuch Li gently, "Bear-like! Get up!"

Eunuch Li stood up sarcastically, and Emperor Jingkang had already picked up the tea bowl on the table and handed it to him.

Eunuch Li was shuddered and his eyes were dull.

Your Majesty brings him tea?

How does this work!

Even if he had just thought carefully and shared his worries for Your Majesty, he would not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts. His Majesty misunderstood him because of his misunderstanding. It is not that he has not misunderstood before. He...

"What's in this?" Emperor Jingkang's words suddenly interrupted Eunuch Li's random thoughts.

what?
It's green tea!
But His Majesty would never ask such a simple question.

Seeing Emperor Jingkang's index finger pointing at the tea in the bowl, Eunuch Li swallowed his saliva and tried his best to give a comprehensive answer, "Yes, Master Mochou brought it, from Bailong Cave, with green bamboo leaves."

Your Majesty was the one who asked for it shamelessly.

After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't dare to say the next sentence.

Emperor Jingkang narrowed his cold eyes and looked at Eunuch Li dangerously, "What are you thinking about?"

Eunuch Li shivered when he saw it, and shook his head fiercely, "I didn't think about anything."

"It's just green tea. What you said is so complicated! You said you didn't think anything about it?" Emperor Jingkang put down the bowl and said angrily, but he didn't talk nonsense to Eunuch Li anymore. He said directly: "If the Queen Mother enters the Bailong Cave, the entire Emei Mountain will be destroyed." She can smell the smell of green tea. If you give her the story of Buddha, the story will have changed after a while, ruining Xue Tang’s heart."

Emperor Jingkang doesn't want Xue Tang to have any interaction with the Queen Mother now. The lucky star he finally discovered must not be damaged by the Queen Mother.

Eunuch Li was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Your Majesty, I dare to say that it’s a good thing there are no outsiders here!

Seeing that Eunuch Li was dumbfounded and less alert than usual, Emperor Jingkang kicked him again, "Go and arrange for people to deliver things, and follow me out of the palace later! All the affairs of the harem are left to the queen, and I don't care." Intervene, don't worry, don't do the Queen a disservice."

As soon as he heard that he was about to leave the palace, Eunuch Li's dull little eyes immediately shone brightly.

He couldn't hold back his excitement and asked with excitement: "Does Your Majesty want to go to the auction?"

Emperor Jingkang glared at him, "Are you stupid, or do you think I am stupid? If I go over, will those people still be able to express themselves freely?"

He's not stupid. Isn't it better to get straight to the point? We need to do it step by step!
Hearing this, Eunuch Li was very happy. If you don't go to the auction, you're going to the Taotie Tower.

Very good!
In order to concentrate on dealing with the Queen Mother's people, he hasn't gone out to eat delicious food at Taotie House for a long time. I heard that the general's wife has introduced many new dishes recently.

"Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away. I will definitely not delay you from going to the Taotie Tower to eat and drink." He replied incoherently, and Eunuch Li trotted out of the Imperial Study Room. He finally knew why His Majesty chose to hold the auction in Ruyi Building today. It turned out that he wanted to free up the opportunity to hold senior banquets in the past for Taotie Building. His Majesty was so open and honest that he went to eat for nothing!
If you disguise yourself, you can not only sit on the old people's dining table, but also taste all the dishes in the Taotie Restaurant.

Your Majesty is still wise!
At this moment, Eunuch Li had forgotten what Xue Tang had told him, "Emperor Jingkang should eat lightly to avoid suffering from three highs", and even more forgotten that Emperor Jingkang could only eat a maximum of four dishes per meal.

Looking at Eunuch Li's vigorous steps and energetic back, Emperor Jingkang's eyes shone with a deep light.

Did this old boy eat too much of Orleans? The last part of his words gave him goosebumps!
Also, the reason why Lao Li is listless is not because he is overly worried about being monitored by the Queen Mother, but because he has not had the chance to go out to eat delicious food recently!
So, has your soul floated to the top of Taotie Tower a long time ago?
You dare to say that he eats and drinks freely!

He did play some tricks for today's feast, but that was just killing two birds with one stone.

……

Just as the auction ended, when Mo Bai and Duan Jingchen turned around, Xue Tang had disappeared.

By the time they led everyone to the door, the door was already crowded.

I don't know who leaked the news. People outside were already talking about it. Shopkeeper Ma didn't dare to open the door. He looked at Mo Bai and asked for a countermeasure, "Master, should you ask people to evacuate the crowd, or should you please forgive me and go through the back door?"

Just when Mo Bai was about to speak, Duan Jingchen was afraid that they would not be able to see the excitement by letting them go through the back door, so he hurriedly interrupted: "We didn't do anything wrong. Of course we went through the front door. The heresy is insulting to our status. We are not in a hurry either. Why don't you listen together? We are busy raising donations here and see how the outside world views this matter. When we finish listening, I will ask someone to clear the way."

Everyone actually thought it made sense.

Mo Bai could only grimace and nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

Duan Jingchen took the opportunity to pull Shopkeeper Ma aside and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Xue Tang?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma couldn't help but take a careful look at Duan Jingchen, and saw that he was slightly anxious. Shopkeeper Ma's face flashed with surprise, but it just passed by. He quickly straightened his expression, smiled slightly, and replied: "The general's wife said she had an emergency at home and left first. She took the secret passage and was followed by her driver and bodyguard. She will be fine."

Duan Jingchen coughed lightly, regained his normal expression, waved his hand and said calmly: "Well, I understand, there is shopkeeper Laoma, you go and do your work!"

Outside the door, discussions arose one after another.

"I'm really short of money and don't know how prosperous the world is!"

As soon as this guy finished speaking, the elder brother next door glanced at him sideways and said, "Tofu seller, what are you talking about? You're talking like a human!"

Tofu seller: "Fuck, poverty has limited my imagination. Today I have to take a closer look at what Pei Jian looks like. He is so rich! One hundred and ten thousand taels, and all ten generations of my family can't earn from selling tofu." After counting, he donated it as soon as his upper and lower lips touched each other."

"Who knows where the money came from? Maybe it was embezzlement for personal gain!"

"That's right, don't be blindly envious. If the path is not right, people will have to die sooner or later."

Pei Jian and Mr. Xie inside the door were so angry that smoke was rising from their heads. Pei Jian was about to rush out and teach the two men a lesson when Mo Bai stretched out his arm and blocked the door. He said calmly: "My uncle has never done anything before. I am not afraid of the shadow when I am upright. Don’t worry about it, it won’t spoil everyone’s enjoyment, let’s continue listening.”

Listen, listen to your uncle!

Pei Jian felt that he might be angry to death here.

But there were all Mo Bai's people here, and his guards were all outside the door. He was controlled by others, and he couldn't lose his temper in public. He could only suppress his anger, snorted coldly, swung his sleeves and led Mr. Xie to the private room aside, out of sight. Not bothered.
