The beauty of the lady

Chapter 241 Resurrection Needle (2)
With the sound of heavy exclamation in the distance, a eunuch in his thirties walked in holding a whisk.

As soon as he came in, he smiled and slapped Empress Dowager Chen: "The servant greets the empress dowager, everything has been prepared in the Wuji Hall, the emperor sent the servant here, and invited the empress dowager and all the concubines to go to the Wuji Hall to prepare dinner .”

"The Ai family knows, Xiao Weizi went to tell the emperor that the Ai family and all the wives will arrive soon."

"Yes, this servant will go back to the emperor first, and this servant will leave."

After Eunuch Wei left, the empress dowager greeted everyone to go to the front for dinner, and then waited for the empress dowager Chen to sit on the phoenix, and those who sat in the sedan chair behind, walked together, and the whole harem was very lively for a while. This huge harem adds a touch of popularity.

The Promise Hall is the place where the emperor usually holds state banquets. The Emperor's Longevity Festival, the Queen's Qianqiu Festival, and the congratulations of the Wan Dynasty are all held here.

At this time, the Wuji Hall was already full of officials and their descendants, and in the main hall, the maids and eunuchs kept coming in and out with melons, fruits and desserts.

Emperor Rongkang, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe with five claws, was sitting on the dragon chair, and beside him was a red sandalwood table. Ye Yu was also sitting on the dragon couch with a calm expression, overlooking the civil and military officials below. .

"The empress dowager is here!" Following the eunuch's shout, all the officials including Emperor Rongkang stood up, and when the empress dowager walked in with all the orders, the front of the hall was already full of people kneeling.

"The empress dowager is a thousand years old."

Empress Dowager Chen looked at this posture, showing a proud attitude on her well-maintained face. She waited until she sat down in front of Fengyi on the left hand side of Emperor Rongkang, and waved everyone to stand up.

Zhou Mei saw Ye Yu standing on the right hand side, and after everyone knelt down and shouted Long Live the Emperor, she waited to be called to stand up, then met Ye Yu's outstretched hand, and sat next to him, while the crowd below The wives found their husbands' seats one after another and sat down.

This is not the first time Zhou Mei has seen the little emperor. Emperor Rongkang is 14 years old, three years younger than her. He looks a little like Ye Xuan in appearance, with fair complexion and a little thin, Zhou Mei is keenly aware of it. Realizing that he is not seriously ill, he is just shorter than children of the same age. Chen Shuo is one year younger than him, but he looks like he is two or three years older than him. Emperor Rongkang was a little weak.

As for what Ye Zhen said about his dragon root being damaged, this kind of thing can't be known just by looking at it.

She doesn't know how to see this kind of disease, even if she can, she can't see it. If she really sees it, even if Ye Zhen defends her again, the rest of her next life will be only the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.

Ye Yu looked at Zhou Mei and stared at Emperor Rong Kang for a long time, then secretly squeezed her hand.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhou Mei came back to her senses, and gave him a funny look, "Just thinking about what you said, I'm a little emotional, he looks like a good boy."

Ye Yu pursed his lips lightly, "There are no so-called good children in the royal family, and some are just winners and losers. Don't meddle in this matter at will, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."

"How can I intervene? You don't think that I will go to see a doctor for the little emperor, do you? I don't even know that kind of illness."

Just as he finished speaking, his husband gave him a serious look, "Meier, don't say such things."

Even if she gets rid of her illness, he will not agree to let her see a doctor for Emperor Rongkang. She is Princess Chun, not a doctor from the imperial hospital. In this world, except for those who really care about him, who can invite her to move? she.

Above, Emperor Rongkang looked at Ye Xuan and his wife, and realized that it seemed that the little grandmother said something that made the little grandfather angry, but even so, he would not interrupt rashly.

Empress Dowager Chen also saw this scene, not to mention how disgusted she was.

"How is the emperor these days?"

"Let the mother worry about it, and everything is fine with the son."

"Your Majesty seems to have lost a lot of weight. Is it because the palace people don't serve you well? If it's cold today, eat more soup to warm your body. You have studied for many years, and you usually learn how to govern the country from the Ninth Prince. Chaozheng, your ninth grandfather has taught you for so many years, worked hard for the state affairs, and has no heirs so far, you still have to work harder."

Emperor Rongkang nodded with a smile, "What the mother said is that the son made the mother worry."

"This is all as it should be. You are the only son of the Ai family." Even the emperor of the prosperous Great Yan Dynasty, there is no reason why the government can always be held in the hands of the prince.

She is only 30 years old this year, and her husband has been dead for several years. If there is no fun in this lonely deep palace, one can imagine how difficult the next few decades will be.

However, she firmly believes that her son is filial and obedient. As long as her son monopolizes the government, she will not have to suffer as much as she does now. Her son is still young, and she will not do it behind the curtain, but even a little meddling in the court, even if there is It doesn't matter what the courtiers say, no matter how sharp their tongues are, can they still overwhelm her, the queen mother?

State banquets, grand banquets for ministers, the meals are naturally exquisite and delicious. Maybe what they ate when they came to the palace was not meals, but Zhou Mei was different from others.

Ye Zhen peeled the shrimp and crab for her and put them on her jade plate. Watching Zhou Mei eat the food in front of her to her heart's content, his appetite improved unconsciously, and he ate a lot. He usually eats the most in the palace. That's [-]% to [-]% full, but today it's [-]% to [-]% full. Even Liao Fan, who was standing behind, widened his eyes in surprise.

As expected of the delicacy of the imperial palace, even the skin of the crystal steamed dumpling is really similar to crystal, and the whole shrimp wrapped inside can be clearly seen on the outside of the skin.

"It seems that there are still a few dishes that suit your appetite." When people eat, their wives serve their husbands, but here it is completely the opposite. This meal is served by him for this little woman.

What made him curious was that she didn't usually exercise much, and she always ate and ate to her heart's content, but she never saw any meat.

Where did it all go?

"This crystal shrimp dumpling is delicious, and the ginger fish fillet and sweet and sour lotus root are also very good. The Arhat prawn is also delicious. The chef in our house has never made it, or is it only available in the palace?"

"If you like, you can let him do it. Zhu Zhangshao is the former royal chef in the palace."

"That's easy."

This meal lasted until midnight, and the banquet was only dismissed at the end of Haishi. After it was over, Ye Yu and Zhou Mei returned to the palace. At night, the two just hugged each other and fell asleep directly.

When Zhou Mei woke up on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Ye Zhen beside her was no longer there, and when she touched the place, it was already cold, it seemed that she had been away for a long time.
