Chapter 115: Offering Celery
Chapter 115 Xianqin
Under the leadership of Hong Zhu, Fan Xian walked silently outside the palace. The eunuchs and palace maids he saw along the way were greeted by each other. Some of the newcomers who had just entered the palace couldn't react, and they were taught a lesson by the senior elderly people. Fan Xian didn't have any mental care about these things, but just walked blindly.
Everyone in the palace looked at Hong Zhu in front of him, and thought that His Majesty asked Eunuch Hong to recover again, but it was afraid that it was to defile the eyes of Mr. Fan. It was beyond many people's expectations that Fan Xian did not speak harshly at Hong Zhu, and chatted with him calmly. Hong Zhu also maintained a humble appearance, looking harmonious and cruel.
Neither Lord Xiao Fan nor Eunuch Xiao Hong were ordinary people. People who watched this scene sighed in their hearts. Perhaps only such a good person who could conceal their true emotions could always ensure their survival and future in the unpredictable changes in the court of the Qing Kingdom. In fact, things are wonderful. In the eyes of everyone, the Q&A of Fan Xian and Hong Zhu on the road to leaving the palace was performed for everyone to see, but no one expected that Fan Xian and Hong Zhu were really talking.
They spoke very low and had a natural expression. They played their roles very well, but the content they said was extremely unusual.
"Your Majesty still likes those dishes these days." Hong Zhu lowered his head and said calmly: "The Imperial Hospital has tested it, and it is all excellent ingredients for Peiyuan Guben."
Fan Xian looked straight ahead without looking at Hong Zhu's face. He nodded softly, and could not see the change in his expression. Three years ago, the rebellion was first settled, and the influence gradually faded. Hong Zhu was proposed to be a cold palace. He was originally a helping partner in the imperial kitchen. He was a person who had been glorious, and with his own cleverness, Fan Xian was secretly helping him. Not only did life be easy, but he gradually gained some power again.
Later, Hong Zhu followed Eunuch Dai to do the job, but he did not weaken his influence on the imperial kitchen. At this time, what Hong Zhu said to Fan Xian was the little secret between them, or more accurately, Fan Xian's little secret, because even Hong Zhu himself did not know why Mr. Fan had to influence the food materials delivered to His Majesty the imperial kitchen.
Hong Zhu was not worried that Fan Xian would poison His Majesty because it was impossible in the palace. Whether it was chronic or acute poison, there were naturally special talents to identify it. In addition to the trial process, the possibility of poisoning has been basically eliminated.
Moreover, these ingredients that were secretly influenced by Hongzhu and added to the recipe were also highly praised by the Imperial Hospital. Especially the dry celery produced in the south, it is even more effective in clearing heat and eliminating irritability and curing thirst. It was recommended by the doctors and officials of the Imperial Hospital to be on the daily table of Your Majesty.
Non-toxicity is the most superficial requirement. Hong Zhu didn't know if there was any problem with His Majesty's body. He just looked at the treatment of the bath, clearing heat and eliminating troubles, and made the Imperial Hospital pay so much attention to it, but I was afraid that His Majesty might really have internal irritation in his body.
Hong Zhu lowered his head slightly and looked at Fan Xian, but did not see his true emotions. He thought in his heart that under the current situation, Lord Xiao Fan is still worried about His Majesty's body. Is he really a loyal minister and filial son? It's a pity that Lord Xiao Fan is a person of temperament, and he is afraid that he will not be able to let go of the death of Old President Chen and will not be happy with His Majesty again.
The road to leaving the palace from the Imperial Study Room is not far away, but Fan Xian had already received the order before and could go to Shufang Palace to see Concubine Yi and the Third Prince, so Hong Zhu took him around the direction of the inner palace. The reason why Your Majesty had this kindness may be because from today on, Fan Xian will truly become a idle person in Kyoto. It is difficult to have the chance to enter the palace.
Walking outside Shufang Palace, Fan Xian frowned slightly as he heard the laughter of a young woman from inside. Thinking about why the palace suddenly became so lively? Looking back at Hong Zhu, he asked, "The ladies and ladies from Guogong Lane came to the palace to pay their respects today? Why are so many people coming?"
"It's a beautiful girl waiting to be selected. Because she is waiting for the candidates sent by various prefectures and counties next month, these dozen beautiful girls have to stay in the palace for more time. Today, I'm afraid that the noble concubine will summon them and tell some rules." Hong Zhu replied softly.
Fan Xian was slightly stunned when he heard the news, and he was a little confused for a moment. He was placed under house arrest in the Fan Mansion these days, and later he was busy with the planning in the dark, and did not pay attention to the news about the talent show in Kyoto. It was not until this time that he realized that the emperor was preparing to marry his wife again.
Just like Concubine Yi and the Third Prince, Fan Xian didn't spend too much time at all, and he smelled the meaning hidden behind the talent show. He frowned, knowing that not only he was moving, but the emperor was moving, and the other party was not moving. Once he moved, he gave himself the strongest warning after his sword was pointed at for thousands of years.
He felt a little confused and apologized in his heart. This apologies were for the mother and son in Shufang's palace. In this world, there were not many people who truly trusted a strong supporter outside the palace like that of the mother and son. This trust was extremely rare. However, now because of his own reasons, Fan Xian was uneasy.
Seeing Fan Xianmo standing in front of Shufang Palace, Hong Zhu thought he was thinking of the beautiful girl in the palace, and it was not suitable to come in to pay homage to the Empress and the Third Prince, and asked softly: "It's the slave's fault, why don't you come back another day?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Why don't you enter? It's not in line with the rules? I have never been a man who follows the rules. After His Majesty gave me an order, I will come and take a look. If I don't come here again... who knows when will the next time I have the chance to enter the palace?"
While talking, Fan Xian had already walked towards Shufang Palace. The two eunuchs guarding the palace gate followed the girl class and did not know who Fan Xian was. But when they saw a young man wearing a plain cotton robe, they were shocked. Although they didn't know Fan Xian, they were all smart people who could stay in the palace. They dared not stop him. One of them followed Fan Xian's place and called for his respect, while the other rushed into Shufang Palace and notified the people inside.
As soon as I entered Shufang Palace, I heard a panic cry, some sounds of tidying up my clothes, and more curious eyes.
Fan Xian came too quickly, and the eunuch had no time to say anything, and the girls in the palace had no time to prepare anything, so he came to the palace. Suddenly, countless eyes stared at the place. The style of the country of Qing was relatively open. Although he was in the deep palace at this time, men and women had to defend themselves, but suddenly he saw a young man entering. These girls just lowered their voices and exclaimed several times, not really ashamed to die, or were as perverted as crying.
In a panic under forced depression, Fan Xian smiled gently, bowed to Concubine Yi in the middle, and said, "I'm really lively here today."
This title is extremely unspecial and disobedient. However, today Fan Xian has officially broken up with His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial study room. Although he was still pinched by the emperor for seven inches and could not do anything, in terms of his nature, he was no longer willing to hide anything, and he vaguely exuded a sense of carelessness that he didn't care about anything.
Concubine Yi is the sister of Liu. When Fan Xian entered the palace on the first day, she loved this little boy who was as carved as jade. Now Fan Xian has long been a grown-up. The relationship between them has long been very close. In the past, Concubine Yi always asked Fan Xian to call herself an aunt, but she didn't expect there were so many people in the palace today. Fan Xian also called out like this.
Concubine Yi smiled slightly and said, "How big a man is, you are still so big or small." This seems unhappy, but in fact it is just a reminder and inquiry. Fan Xian looked at her and shook his head and smiled. A trace of worry appeared in the corner of Concubine Yi's eyebrows. Fan Xian's performance today is too strange. It seems that although the conversation in the imperial study room did not reach the worst result, there was no positive trend.
As soon as he thought about it, Concubine Yi felt like a big stone was pressed on her heart, and she said with a heavy smile: "Why are you thinking about entering the palace today?"
Everyone knows the purpose of Fan Xian entering the palace. This is just a scene. Fan Xian explained a few words. Then, at this moment, Xing'er had already brought an embroidery pier. The little palace maid who was the most experienced and powerful in Shufang's palace was now the most experienced and powerful palace maid in Shufang's palace. Fan Xian looked at her handsome cheek and smiled, and found a little time to say a gossip. Then he said to Concubine Yi seriously: "In addition to seeing you today, Your Majesty also ordered you to see the third prince's homework."
The worry between Yi Guipin's eyebrows became increasingly strong, and she thought to herself, wasn't this a farewell? It's just that Miss Fan's family was in the palace, and there were hundreds of people in the Duke of Fan's Mansion. Fan Xian... dared not leave? For a moment, she couldn't help but have a lot of words to ask Fan Xian, but at this time the show girls looked at the young man curiously, and could not ask. Yi Guipin felt so annoyed that she wanted to drive all the teenage girls out of the palace.
Fan Xian looked at her face and knew that the aunt would have been wrong. He smiled and said, "Where is Your Highness?" This is to make an excuse to leave here. After all, I am sitting in a room with the emperor's future wife. If it is his stepmother, Fan Xian just wanted to use this to see the secret meaning of the talent show, but he didn't want to stay here all the time.
"Ping'er is behind, you go by yourself." Concubine Yi had a headache and shook her head at him. The palace maid Xing'er looked at Fan Xian and smiled, leading him back, and Hong Zhu followed him without leaving any steps. This follower fell into the eyes of the idle man, and his Majesty ordered Hong Zhu to keep an eye on him.
As Fan Xian walked into the hall, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became relaxed. From the first moment he entered the venue, the dozen or so girls were slightly panicked and tried to show their demeanor in front of the empress. They just looked at the handsome face and chic demeanor of the young minister. How could these girls who were only fourteen or five years old and were extremely difficult to even get out of the gate on weekdays?
What made them wonder why such a young man dressed in a civilian manner could walk freely in the palace where the palace was strictly prohibited. After listening to the conversation between this person and Yi Guipin, any of the beautiful women who were very cautious could guess that this person was Xiao Fan...
Uncontrollable, the appearance that was originally beautiful and somewhat unlike ordinary people suddenly became more radiant in the eyes of these girls. Whether they were bold or Shuning, they looked at Fan Xian more directly or quietly.
At this time, Fan Xian left, and finally a handsome girl Hanxi from Guogong Lane asked, "Empress, is this little Mr. Fan?"
After receiving the Concubine Yi nodded for sure, these girls couldn't help but whisper. After all, they were still some little girls. After being bored in the palace for a few days, they suddenly met the legendary Lord Fan. No wonder they were so excited that they looked like they were even talking to their homes before entering the palace. All the instructions from the nanny in the heavenly palace were thrown behind.
However, there were a few beautiful girls who were taller than the sky just sat aside calmly. They saw something strange from Fan Xian's dress. In addition, these beautiful girls have always regarded the Miss Fan Mansion in the imperial study as their biggest enemy, so compared to each other, when they saw Fan Xian today, they were not moved, but instead felt a little hostile.
"It's all up to this point. Your Majesty still asks you to go to Shufang Palace..." In a very ordinary carriage, Lin Wan'er looked at Fan Xian who was a little tired beside her and said softly: "The talent show happened suddenly. I think Your Majesty is just warning you. He has no objection to the third brother, don't worry too much."
When the couple were alone, Fan Xian always called His Majesty the Emperor and the Emperor's uncle, while Lin Wan'er called the man who had been holding her since childhood, which was not a ruthless man, but had some family fun. Today, Lin Wan'er directly called His Majesty, and Fan Xian also knew that his wife knew that she was in a very bad mood.
"We also want to warn all the officials in the court not to think that the Qing Kingdom in the future will be the third brother." He smiled and said, "Although Your Majesty is old, his ambition is still there, so I don't know if the heroic spirit remains."
