Chapter 299 The Queen Visits the Set
"Look at how relieved you are. What? Wang Bao is begging you for help? How much gold and silver did he spend to bribe you? Tell me and give me half."
"Isn't it just me you're asking for help?"
Hongzhu was always good at picking up on her master's jokes. She let out a forced sigh, which would have been more convincing if it weren't for the hint of amusement in her eyes.
"Alas, I haven't seen any gold, silver or treasures. Instead, he comes to my house every few days, howling and wailing. He says that he is beaten by his eldest brother three times a day, and now he can't even survive a day in the Duke of Ling's mansion.
I just want you to ask for mercy, or if all else fails, you can ask him to come back and take care of Ruhua."
"Hahahahahaha, Wang Hu's method of disciplining his younger brother has remained the same since they were young. He believes that talent emerges under the stick!"
"Isn't it? Wang Bao was beaten black and blue by his eldest brother. Our Duke even said that he looked a little pitiful."
"Even my father can't stand it? I guess he will be punished severely."
"Well, Ma Fei said it would be good for him to learn this lesson so he doesn't get paralyzed when he sees a pretty girl next time."
"Not really. A clear mind is better than anything else."
"Yes, this time he's probably been awakened..."
After the master and servant relaxed for a while and chatted for a while, they turned to serious matters.
"Yesterday I asked you to bring Fourth Uncle Sun over to show Jianing. What happened?"
Jiang Wan put down the soup bowl and touched her belly. She felt the child moving around playfully inside, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It's nothing serious. It's just the internal stagnation that's causing it. Doctor Sun said it's a disease of affluence. I just need to relax and rest for a few days."
After tidying up the table, Hongzhu quickly walked to her master's side and waited for orders at any time.
"Is it hard to relieve the depression?"
He frowned in confusion and thought carefully. It seemed that he had not neglected these concubines and princesses during this period of time.
"I feel like I'm worrying about everything. What on earth could make her so worried that she faints every few days?"
"I don't know."
Hongzhu shook her head and reported truthfully.
"Princess Jianing doesn't look well, but Concubine Liang is also worried and has trouble eating and sleeping. Imperial Physician Sun even prescribed a tranquilizing soup for her."
"I see. I'll go check it out sometime later."
Jiang Wan frowned, and Hongzhu quickly tried to comfort him.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry so much. Concubine Liang and Princess Jianing have always been people who have a plan in mind. They won't cause any trouble."
"That's not what you said. After all, the Princess's Mansion hasn't been completed yet. As long as these concubines and princesses don't leave the palace and start their own lives, they will always be my responsibility as the Queen. How can I not worry about them?"
He turned his head and looked out the window again.
"Why hasn't Hongxiu come back yet? I asked her to keep an eye on the imperial kitchen. Why is she so slow?"
"I'm back, I'm back, this slave is back."
As soon as they said they would arrive, Hongxiu hurried back carrying two food boxes.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm slow. It's the people in the imperial kitchen who are so slow. It takes them half a day to prepare a meal. I brought back a few of today's dishes for you to check."
As he spoke, he placed the food box on the table and opened the lid. There were four layers filled with plates and bowls of all sizes. Although the dishes were all vegetarian, they looked fresh and delicious.
I picked up the chopsticks and took two bites. It tasted really good.
Jiang Wan nodded in satisfaction and put down his chopsticks.
"Okay, have the people in the Imperial Kitchen deliver this dish to the concubines at the appointed time. Tell them there will be rewards for a good job. If anyone dares to mess around again, they should have seen what happened to the previous head steward of the Imperial Kitchen!"
"Yes, I'll go and give them a beating in a minute! Your Majesty, when I came out of the imperial kitchen just now, I met Li Song who had also sent someone over. He said that the emperor had been busy all morning and hadn't had time to eat yet!"
"Why, no one is coming to serve the food?"
Jiang Wan's voice became serious.
"No! I heard that the Emperor was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat!"
Look at how obvious her little thoughts are. Miss Hongxiu always remembers her wife's instructions and must find ways to say something good for her son-in-law.
As expected, the Queen Mother felt sorry for the Emperor.
"Come on, bring the food, I'll go over and take a look."
"yes!"
Hongxiu put the food back into the lunch box with a smile on her face. Hongzhu helped her, smiling and nodding at her. The girl didn't get angry, and even shook her head proudly.
Fortunately, Fengming Palace was not far from Qianyuan Palace, and Jiang Wan and his two servants moved very quickly. They had arrived at their destination while the food was still warm.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Seeing the Queen coming, Li Song, who was guarding outside the palace, quickly saluted.
"No need to be polite. Has General Li eaten yet?"
"Thank you, Queen."
After standing up, the newly appointed young general smiled shyly.
"I have already asked someone to prepare it, but the emperor said he is not hungry."
This clever kid even knew how to modify his words. The emperor clearly just slammed the table and shouted, "I'm already furious!"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"If Your Majesty is not hungry, then neither am I!"
Jiang Wan raised his hand and waved silently.
"You go and eat first. I'll go into the hall and take a look."
"yes!"
It’s not that the general guarding the palace was really negligent in his duties, but the emperor himself had once ordered that seeing the queen was equivalent to seeing the emperor.
Not to mention the gate of Qianyuan Hall, even the roof of Jinluan Hall, as long as the Empress wanted to go up, there was absolutely no prohibition against her going up.
Jiang Wan simply held his waist and took a step forward, walked to the closed door, raised his hand to push the door open and walked in, and immediately caught a living cow and horse that was full of resentment.
"Damn you, old Liu, are you so bored that you write memorials to tease people?
Go ahead and write it, but you're writing words I can't understand. You're mocking me directly in my face! If you make me angry, I'll embarrass you at the court meeting tomorrow!
What on earth does this mean, oh my god..."
“Cough cough cough!”
"Brother, stop coughing. I'm not swearing!"
The bright yellow mass lying on the dragon throne, upon hearing the cough reminder, immediately sat down reflexively and argued loudly.
But when he suddenly realized that this pleasant voice didn't seem to be from his nagging elder brother, he threw the pen in his hand in surprise, turned his head and grinned.
"Wife, how come you have time to come and see me?"
