It indeed rained the next day.
As a worker, your boss doesn't care whether you worked overtime last night or what time you worked overtime.
So An Jiu still got up early with 께花, had breakfast together, and then took over the shift with the two palace maids Qiu and Dong.
The emperor went to the morning court, and An Jiu had nothing to do, so he just stared at a vase ornament on the table in a daze.
This vase is really exquisite and it is difficult to describe its exquisiteness in words.
At this time, there were a few flowers just picked from the imperial garden in the vase. The dew on the petals was still there. Even from a distance, An Jiu could smell the fragrance of the flowers...
께花 stood aside, with a gloomy face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
There was a sound of rain outside, and when An Jiu was almost drowsy from listening to it, the emperor came back, followed by the serious and cautious Eunuch Li.
An Jiu and Xiao Hua hurried over, one helped the emperor get a towel to wipe the rain that accidentally stained him, and the other poured hot tea for the emperor.
The emperor sat down with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking...
Well……
Except Anjiu...
[These ministers are so shameless that they dare to force me. 】
He read out a few names.
【Li Ruhai, Zhang Mingli, Chen Siwei…】
[You all wait for me...]
He complained a lot, but An Jiu still didn't understand how these adults had offended him.
After breakfast, An Jiu knew everything.
The emperor's breakfast today was still very light. Due to An Jiu's suggestion, there was an extra shrimp and steamed egg on the table. The emperor probably ate too much last night, so he didn't eat much today. However, compared with his usual appetite, he already had a good appetite.
After breakfast, on the way back, An Jiu heard people talking about how the emperor didn't go to the harem, not only the concubines were dissatisfied, but even the people of the previous dynasty had opinions.
After all, many women in the harem are daughters and sisters of ministers, and the former dynasty and the harem are inseparable.
Generally speaking, if a concubine in the harem is favored, officials of the previous dynasty will give her face, or if an official of the previous dynasty is a pillar of the country, the emperor will take care of his daughter or sister in the harem for the sake of the old minister's face.
However, this emperor was different. It was said that he had visited the harem when he first became emperor, but later on, for some reason, he never went there again.
An Jiu knew that the emperor had complained before that those concubines were too enthusiastic and proactive, as if they wanted to eat people. The emperor could not accept physical intimacy with a strange woman...
Quite traditional.
It's a pity that the only thing he is wrong about is not the emperor. This kind of character deserves praise for keeping oneself clean...
But he happened to be an emperor.
The royal family pays great attention to the continuation of their bloodline, and having no heir is the biggest problem.
The old ministers of the previous dynasty became anxious and suggested that the emperor quickly appoint a queen. Some also suggested that they should select concubines again. They could arrange their own daughters, sisters, etc. to be included. The emperor would think that they were young and strong, and if they worked hard, they could have a few children. In the future, the family would have a prince as a relative, which would not only save face but also improve his political status.
Everyone was having a great time; the only one who was unhappy was the emperor.
He put down his chopsticks and kept complaining for a full hour.
He greeted all the ancestors of those adults for ten generations.
[Sooner or later, I will kill them all. 】
When An Jiu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
She glanced at the emperor secretly, but the emperor looked up at her instantly as if he had a radar on his head.
What are you looking at? Is this palace maid a fool? Don’t you know I’m thirsty? 】
An Jiu hurried over to pour him some water. The emperor drank a large glass of water, exhaled, and fell helplessly on the dragon chair.
The lunch was still prepared by the imperial kitchen. In addition to the usual vegetables for the rabbits, today we added a boiled shrimp...
An Jiu was stunned when he saw this.
She thought that the emperor had a strong taste. The shrimp was delicious, but the taste was too bland. Wasn't there any seasoning?
Sure enough, the emperor ate a few and put down his chopsticks.
Looking half dead, he touched his stomach and began to think wildly.
【Elbow...】
【Braised pork...】
【Roast chicken...】
He let out a breath.
He lay on the bed again without moving.
An Jiu felt that the emperor was like a child when he was young, but he was indeed very young.
How old is the emperor?
An Jiu didn't seem to know. He looked to be in his early twenties at most.
The emperor slept until the afternoon, and when he got up he read the memorials. As he read, he began to daydream, just like a student doing homework...
There were some serious criticisms in between, but An Jiu will not go into details about the state affairs. The following are some of the more outrageous and interesting ones compiled by Anjiu.
[A bumper wheat harvest in Jing’an County?] Where is Jing'an? 】The emperor flipped through it.
[Isn’t this the county with particularly tough folk customs? The former county magistrate married his sister-in-law and brutally killed his original wife, but was eventually discovered...]
[The governor of Annan was bitten to death by a tiger?] 】
He flipped back and found it unbelievable.
[How could a tiger bite the prefect to death... It was almost like seeing a ghost. 】
[So that's how it is. I'm speechless. You guys are the best at playing. A prefect actually stole his cousin's sister, and he did it in the wild, and she was even bitten to death by a tiger. I'm really impressed...]
He turned to the memorial below.
[A wild man was discovered in Qinling Mountains?] 】
A big question mark seemed to appear in the emperor's head. He lowered his head and read the memorial again.
[Who are the savages?] Illegal household? 】
[What is the relationship between the savages and me? Tell me what for? Do you want to send it to the palace for me to play with? 】
He threw the memorial on the table and opened the next one with great resentment.
[The people of Cangwu County found the skeleton of a dragon in the ground...]
The emperor turned the next page speechlessly, and it said that the dragon bones had been sent to the capital at full speed.
The emperor called Eunuch Li in.
"Bring the things from Cangwu County here. I want to see them."
He was curious about what a dragon bone looked like.
An Jiu was very curious.
People have said before that the dragon in the Chinese zodiac is actually real.
But no one can prove it.
Could it be that...
Is she about to witness history?
