The pork shoulder in Emperor Tianwu's bowl was stolen, stolen by the tiger … …
Emperor Tianwu thought, if he was twenty years younger, he should be able to fight this tiger. What if he could snatch it back? But he didn't dare to do it now. How could his old arms and legs beat a tiger? If he injured his tendons or bones, then it wouldn't just be his body's problem. He was afraid that his entire Dashun would be injured as well. He hadn't paved the way for old Ninth yet, so he couldn't just leave it like this. There were many things that he had to deal with while he was still on the throne. He couldn't leave the mess to his son.
Tianwu swallowed his saliva and looked at the white tiger eating his leftover pork shoulder with relish. He felt very sad. He looked at the bowl again … … Alright, there were still some pork ribs and meatballs left. He'll make do with it! Just as he took a bite, he heard Consort Yun say to Zhang Yuan: "Go tell the imperial kitchen that they're not allowed to prepare the Emperor's meals in the future. The Emperor's meals are covered by Winter Moon Palace." As she spoke, she glanced at Emperor Tianwu, "If you really like to eat the food from the imperial kitchen, then eat in your own place. Don't come to my place in the future."
"No, no, no!" Tianwu shook his head, "I'm not eating, I'm not eating. I'm not eating a single bite." As he spoke, he put down the bowl and really didn't look at it again. What a joke. He had waited for Yun Pianpian for more than twenty years. It wasn't easy for him to wait until the end. How could he let a big pork shoulder ruin it?
Consort Yun nodded, "That's good. Heng Zheng said that you have Sangao. Although I don't know what Sangao is, I still remember that she told you to eat more vegetables and eat less meat. "
Tianwu's scalp went numb when he heard this. He couldn't help but mutter: "That girl isn't very cute sometimes … … I remember that her favorite dish is pork shoulder, right? And fried pigeons, how come she can eat them herself and not let me eat them? "
Consort Yun ignored him, but Zhang Yuan said, "How old is she? How old are you? Can it be compared? "
The old emperor was even more depressed. This damn eunuch was not cute at all. He must find a chance to replace this eunuch.
"Enough." Consort Yun waved her hand but didn't turn back. She stroked the little white tiger's head and said, "I heard that there's another female Bodhisattva in the capital? Is she your eighth son's cousin? He also did a lot of good deeds, and everyone in the capital praised him. "
Tianwu had naturally heard about this matter a long time ago. He even praised the Eighth Brother for a few days in a row, so he nodded and said, "There is such a thing, but since it's a good thing! Then let them do it. It's better for the people to get benefits than anything else. It'll save the imperial court the trouble of providing relief. "
"But this consort also heard that because her son's reputation improved, his mother couldn't accept it and ran to your eldest daughter-in-law to ask for benefits. She wants to return to the position of Consort Yuanshu!"
Tianwu felt a headache coming on. He couldn't help but discuss with Consort Yun: "Can we talk nicely? What eldest daughter-in-law, eldest daughter-in-law, it's so unpleasant to hear. Empress, you can just call her Empress. " He didn't wait for Consort Yun to reply and continued: "It's her business if she can't accept it, but it's not up to us to decide whether it's allowed or not. Don't worry! It won't give her any benefits. "
"Tch." Consort Yun shrugged, "I don't care who you give benefits to. In any case, it's all about your harem. I just want to remind you that Ming and Heng Heng are newlyweds, so don't give them too much trouble. Let the young couple have a few days of peace. As for your sons, it's best if they all have good prospects. I, Ming, don't like your lousy throne, and Heng Heng doesn't care about it either. In the future, I'll give it to whoever I think is good. That's the one I like the most. "
Tianwu rubbed his hands: "That … Pianpian! You know very well that among these children, Ming 'er is the one I like the most. In addition, he has Heng Heng's help. Once the world is in their hands, Dashun will have such a glorious and peaceful era! Just thinking about it makes me excited! Also! Don't you always listen to stories from the Imperial Astronomer? Then she must have also heard that A-Heng's child was the star of the phoenix. The position of Empress was destined to be hers. As long as she's here, Dashun will definitely prosper! "
"Hmph!" Consort Yun coldly snorted, "What Star of the Phoenix. Bullshit! Xuan Zhan, I'll tell you. No matter what, you must let my Ming live well. If he suffers even the slightest grievance, I will burn down your imperial palace! "
Tianwu trembled in fear and repeatedly said: "Definitely, definitely. I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you! "
Pingnan General's Office received an uninvited guest today. It was the current left prime minister, Lu Song. General Ping Nan did not pay much attention to court matters. Even when attending court, he would only appear once in a while. He had never gotten along with the left prime minister. Regardless of whether it was the former Feng Jin Yuan or the current Lu Song, it was not that they would quarrel the moment they met, but they did not treat each other well.
However, ever since Lu Yan passed away, Lu Song's way of thinking had changed. In addition to this, he had been thinking about the matter with Ren Xitao. Thus, he was a bit polite when meeting General Ping Nan. But this politeness was only limited to court. In private, they did not interact much. This was the first time that Lu Song had come to visit.
General Ping Nan received him very formally in the front hall. His attitude was rather formal and rather distant. It was clear that he did not want to interact too much. But Lu Song had come this time to give a gift. There was nothing valuable. It was just a large pile of things that he had bought himself. There was food, cloth, two sets of tea sets and a few paintings.
In truth, the things were not worth much. Only the paintings were worth a bit of money. In his words: "The Lu manor is no longer the same as it was in the past. It can't bring out anything good. These paintings were treasured by me in the past. Even when the family declined, I was not willing to sell them."
General Ping Nan frowned when he saw this: "Lord Left Prime Minister, what are you doing? Not to mention the fact that we are not close enough to give each other gifts, even if we were, do you think that a general like me would be able to understand these paintings? For you to send these over, aren't you trying to embarrass me? "
Lu Song was stunned and quickly explained: "It was my oversight. Old General, you must not think of it in the wrong direction. I really did not think of this point before leaving. I just thought that this was the most valuable thing that the Lu manor could bring out right now. If old general doesn't like them, you can have someone sell them later. They're worth quite a bit of money. "As Lu Song spoke, he glanced at the paintings and felt a bit of heartache.
General Ping Nan could see his sincerity and was even more puzzled, "What exactly is the Left Prime Minister's intention? Why don't you just say it directly! There's no point in beating around the bush between us. Those guessing things should be left for the imperial court. Don't do all this nonsense at home. It's too tiring. "
Lu Song nodded and said: "Old general, don't think too much. I came today to thank the eldest young master of the manor, which is Young General Lu, for saving my life last time." After he finished speaking, he saw that General Ping Nan was still puzzled, so he recounted how Ren Xitao had saved his life last time. Only when he saw that General Ping Nan had a sudden realization did he relax. "If it wasn't for Young General helping me to Hundred Herb Hall, even if I didn't lose my life, I would have fainted on the street. It would have been very embarrassing!"
General Ping Nan nodded, "I really haven't heard of this matter. Maybe that kid at home didn't think it was a big deal. But Prime Minister Lu really took it to heart."
"No, no, no." Lu Song waved his hands, "When receiving a drop of water, one should repay it with a gushing spring, not to mention a life saving grace. It's just that my Lu Family doesn't have much wealth now, so I can only send some ordinary gifts. Old general, please don't dislike it. "
That was why one would not strike a smiling person. General Ping Nan saw that he was quite sincere. Thinking a bit, if it really was his own son that had saved him, coming to give thanks was normal. Only then did he smile and accept the gift. He then asked about Lu Song's condition.
When Lu Song talked about his body, he let out a sigh of relief. He told General Ping Nan: "In the past, I always thought of the worst. I felt that there was an eighty percent chance that I wouldn't live long. I even coughed up blood. What kind of illness could it be? Later, when I went to Hundred Herb Hall, Royal Consort Yu personally treated me. She also sent someone to the manor to tell me that there wasn't anything serious. She gave me some medicine. I ate it and felt better, so I was relieved. Once I was relieved, the illness went away even faster. "
General Ping Nan nodded his head repeatedly. Feng Yu Heng's medical skills were not exaggerated. He had also benefited a lot. Especially his legs, which had been injured because he often went to the battlefield when he was young, were healed by Feng Yu Heng's miraculous hands and medicine. Now, it didn't hurt at all. He didn't feel any discomfort when it rained or overcast.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while more. Lu Song said his goodbyes and left. After he left, Ren Xifeng stood in front of her brother in the backyard of Pingnan General's Office with her hands on her hips and began to extort a confession.
Lu Tao had no choice but to tell his sister about what happened that day. At the same time, he also asked about something that he had always wanted to ask about. He said: "Sister, have you heard that the Lu Family has a beautiful daughter?"
Ren Xifeng frowned when she heard this, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"I once saw a young lady in the Lu Family. She was like a fairy. Prime Minister Lu said that she was his eldest daughter." Ren Xitao's face was still full of doubt when he spoke of this matter. Thus, he added: "But the strange thing was that the young lady used some kind of inferior perfume on her body. The smell was so bad that it was unbearable. Even though she had such a fairy-like appearance, it made people want to run away as soon as possible."
"Just run away as soon as possible!" Ren Xitao warned with a calm face: "Brother, you have to understand that there is no reason for a woman to come out and entertain a guest, especially a male guest. You just sent Prime Minister Lu off and you saw his daughter. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Don't you think this matter is strange? Besides … "Ren Xifeng remembered something," That Lü Ping jumped into the water to save the Yao Family's eldest madam. Half of her face was ruined. "
Ren Xitao waved his hand and said: "What ruined face? Sister, you must have remembered wrongly. Otherwise, the injury was not serious and had already healed. There were no traces at all. Also, what Prime Minister Lu meant was that when the Lu Family's eldest madam went to the temple that day, and I saved his life, it was impolite for him to entertain a guest alone. Thus, he let the young lady come out to meet me and thank me. Sister, that's not what I'm asking. I want to ask you, is that woman really the Lu Family's daughter? Why hasn't anyone mentioned her for so many years? You have to know, that kind of beauty is several times better than the Feng Family's number one beauty! "
"So what?" Ren Xifeng stared at his brother and once again solemnly reminded him: "Since ancient times, beauties have never had good endings. Think about that Feng Chen Yu. Think about those beauties that bring disaster to the country. Brother, if you want to preserve your life, if you want to ensure the safety of everyone in Pingnan General's Office, then stay away from the Lu Family!"
After Ren Xifeng finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Ren Xitao to helplessly shake his head. His sister was too impatient. He did not say that he really liked her. He just felt it was strange and asked around; however, he did not think that his sister would have such a resolute attitude.
After delivering the gifts to Pingnan General's Office, Lu Song did not return to the manor. Instead, he sat in a carriage and rushed to the next house – Imperial Palace Yu!
