The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 88 Conflict between Emperor and Queen (2)
Empress Situ seemed to be fascinated by those peonies, and she didn't even notice that someone was coming behind her.Eunuch Fu stepped forward and called out in a low voice, "Empress Empress..."

Empress Situ then turned around, concealing the flash of loneliness on her face, and looked at Mo Yu with her phoenix eyes: "Come?"

The abrupt sentence "Come here" does not name names, and there is no barrier between monarchs and ministers, just like gossip.

Mo Yu was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "My minister will see the empress! The empress is a thousand years old and Jin'an."

Empress Situ walked towards him slowly, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you for your grace." Mo Yu still kept his etiquette.

Empress Situ said: "Stop talking standing up, go and sit in the pavilion."

"Yes." Although Mo Yu didn't understand, he still followed.

The Tao Ran Pavilion in Weiyang Palace has a high terrain and a wide view, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in the garden. The maid served the brewed hot tea, and Empress Situ took a sip and said: "The new tribute in the Royal Tea Garden of Huangzhuang, Gyeonggi Longjing, try it, how does it taste?"

Mo Yu lowered his head and took a sip, still smiling awkwardly: "The color is emerald green, the soup is clear, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the tea is mellow and rich. It really is the best tea."

It was morning at Maoshi, and the sky was just dawning. It was still early in the morning, and the chirping of sparrows could be heard everywhere in the clean garden, which was a peaceful place.

Empress Situ smiled and did not comment on his praise.

Mo Yu entered the Imperial Academy since he was a child. Because of his diligent study, he was often praised by his teachers. The doctors of the Imperial Academy were all familiar with his father, so his reputation spread quickly. attend together.Therefore, Empress Situ met him a lot, and she has always loved Mo Yu very much, which is why Bai Lijing knew that Emperor Jing Yuan and Empress Situ originally planned to marry Mo Yu to her.

However, in the many meetings between Empress Situ and Mo Yu before, there were too many people present, and it was the first time that they talked alone like this now.

Mo Yu was silent for a long time, and finally asked aloud: "I don't know what orders the empress has?"

Empress Situ raised her phoenix eyes and glanced at him, with a smile on her lips, she said: "Mo Yu, you child, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, and I finally read it right. Now that you are the number one scholar in high school, you are not in vain. Always working hard.”

Speaking of which, it seemed as if the queen had always had expectations of him, and cared about his homework and knowledge.Mo Yu was very panicked for a moment, put down the teacup, and said anxiously: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern, Mo Yu is ashamed." He then explained: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am really afraid to take the post of serving as the servant of His Majesty the Seventh Highness, but I have to obey His Majesty's orders... "

Empress Situ raised her hand to interrupt him, but there was no trace of reproach in her phoenix eyes, which were faintly unfathomable: "No problem. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince really needs to be disciplined. If you can teach him well, it can be regarded as sharing your worries for His Majesty."

Mo Yu couldn't tell if what she said was true or false, but hearing what the queen said, it was sincere.While thinking about how to answer the call, a chorus came from under the pavilion: "Your Majesty is here!"

Mo Yu hurriedly stood up, but Empress Situ looked very calm, she got up slowly and took two steps to meet her.

Emperor Jing Yuan came to Weiyang Palace as soon as he came to court, which surprised Mo Yu. He knelt down to salute. It's hilarious."

Empress Situ smiled lightly, and her phoenix eyes didn't fluctuate much: "The concubine and the master of the first prize have a normal conversation. This child was raised by the concubine. Now that he has entered the court for the first time, the concubine is a little worried. To supervise Xu'er's study and learning, the concubine must also tell the number one scholar to be strict, not to be afraid because of Xu'er's status, dare not speak out when angry. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Jing Yuan smiled, lifted up his bright yellow casual clothes and sat down, nodded and said: "What the queen said is true. The number one scholar, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Yu stood aside after getting up, and only dared to sit down when he heard Emperor Jing Yuan's voice. He was more anxious than when he was alone with the empress just now.

But Emperor Jing Yuan didn't mean to embarrass him, and said to Empress Situ: "The chef from the Western Regions in the imperial dining room has made a new pastry called 'Flowers and Brocades'. I think it looks good, and I sent it to the queen to taste."

As he said that, Gao Xian, the chief eunuch who never left the side of Emperor Jingyuan, responded, opened the food box in the hand of the maid, put the box of pastries on the stone table, and placed it in front of Empress Situ.

The pastries in the box are bright in color and complicated in shape, shaped like a blooming poppies. It looks really good. However, Empress Situ took a bite and put it down. She didn't show any special joy. It seemed that the taste was very ordinary. She said lightly: " Your Majesty Lao is thinking about it, the taste is very special."

Feng Mu looked at Mo Yu: "Mo Yu, come and taste."

How dare Mo Yu speak out?He was young, and he had been concentrating on his studies before, and he didn't care much about human affairs.It's just that the relationship between the emperor and empress of Daxing is very delicate, and it is indeed so when I saw it today.The always majestic Emperor Jing Yuan seemed to want to please Empress Situ, so he sent these cakes early in the morning, but Empress Situ accepted the affection on the surface, but she was not very happy in actions and words.

Who would dare to flirt with Emperor Jing Yuan's wishes?In today's world, only Empress Situ dares.

Emperor Jing Yuan was not annoyed, but Mo Yu was present, and his expression was a little unnatural. Seeing what Empress Situ said, Emperor Jing Yuan also looked at Mo Yu, and said in a royal voice, "Try it. I don't like sweets, but the Empress does." I like it, if the Queen says it's special, it must be special."

Mo Yu didn't know what expression to make, so he had to put a piece into his mouth, it was crispy and sweet, it melted in his mouth, and there was still a faint aftertaste between his lips and teeth, which was a taste he had never tasted before.He then said honestly: "This cake is really special, I have never tasted it before."

Empress Situ chuckled, and said softly, "Since that's the case, Mo Yu will be rewarded for the rest."

Mo Yu hurriedly wanted to get up to thank him, but Empress Situ beckoned him to sit down: "Don't look out, it's just some pastries, what's the big deal." Then he said to Emperor Jing Yuan: "It's a pity, Jing'er doesn't like sweets, or else I will let you eat sweets." Someone sent some to her, but Heer likes it, Your Majesty, why don't you ask the cook from the Western Regions to make more boxes of 'Flowers and Blossoms' and send them to the Marshal's Mansion?"

Emperor Jing Yuan had a smile on his face, but there was a look of forbearance in his sharp eyes, which seemed to hide infinite anger, but he suppressed it after a moment, and fulfilled the queen's wish: "The queen is very true, Gao Xian, write it down, do as the queen says."

The atmosphere was a bit wrong, if Mo Yu was still here, he would be a bit desperate, he hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, Madam, I have just been appointed to the Hanlin Academy to edit and write today, and I have to go to the Imperial Academy to hand over the affairs, and I will leave first."

Emperor Jing Yuan nodded: "Go."

Empress Situ had no objection, she just said, "Bring these cakes."
