Chapter 56: Chen Shou Offers Pills

With the help of Concubine Wu and Miao De, Emperor Zhao Fu of the Great Qi Dynasty summoned him and led the commander Chen Shou to the palace to meet the saint.

In a room in the Escort Province, Chen Shou hummed a small song and sorted out his sideburns in a bronze mirror that was radiant.

After glanced at the imperial edict that was casually placed beside the table, there was also a small box that was too exquisite. Chen Shou couldn't help but think of Miao De's explanation in his ears.

Emperor Zhao Fu, whose reign title is new, disliked the least because others contradicted him. He was very jealous and was most taboo for someone to show off in front of him.

Chen Shou received the imperial edict yesterday. Today, when it was still dark, a eunuch announced him to the palace and waited in the eunuch.

At noon, he was so hungry that only one of the little eunuchs brought a bowl of porridge, and he was polite, "The chief lieutenant wants to meet the saint later. If he eats and drinks, if there is a three-hour emergency, he will be unlucky in front of His Majesty."

Chen Shou secretly envied the might of the imperial power in his heart, and nodded with the eunuch with a smile. He didn't take a sip when the porridge was cold. Although he was very hungry, he could tolerate it completely.

Especially when he was about to see the emperor, Chen Shou was also a little excited, so although he was very hungry, he had no appetite at all.

At noon, Chen Shou's legs were numb, and someone finally came in. He was a chubby round-faced eunuch. He waved his whisk and said, "Emperor Chen, Your Majesty has woken up and is washing and changing clothes. You are ready."

Don't you suffer from insomnia...

Chen Shou secretly complained that he slept until noon and was so embarrassed that he had the nerve to say that he had insomnia.

As for this age, he was very young. In fact, he really misunderstood Emperor Yuan. Although the old emperor slept until noon, he slept late and fell asleep just after dawn.

At this time, the emperor should have just gotten up, and the eunuchs and palace maids were busy, either opening the curtains, delivering toiletries, tidying clothes, or carrying tea to get in. Although they were busy, everything was orderly and silent.

Chen Shou was taken outside the Wucheng Hall by the eunuchs and waited outside the hall.

Chen Shou was bored and looked at the palace maids, lowering their heads and lined up in and out like little ants. He moved the tables and chopsticks in the water pavilion next to the hall, preparing meals for the emperor that he didn't know whether to have breakfast or lunch.

In the middle of the pavilion, two long tables with yellow brocade were filled with exquisite gold and silver bowls, dishes and pots, with over 200 pieces, including 36 vegetarian food, 36 meat food, 36 candied pastries, 36 dried fruits, 36 dried and fresh fruits, 24 soups and various flower decorations. They are beautiful and dazzling, and ordinary people can only see them.

This table of dishes costs enough for ordinary people to spend their entire lives. The old emperor had a bad appetite. He pointed at a few, ate two or three bites, and ordered it to be removed.

Then a large group of people served him to rinse his mouth and wash his hands, which was the official start of his day. A palace man knelt in the venue, burned an incense, played a piano, and then cooked water and ordered tea with elegant manners.

It was Chen Shou's turn to Noodle Saint at this time. He regretted so much at this time. He had known that he would have drunk the bowl of porridge. Now his legs were trembling with hunger.

He obviously did nothing, but the waiting process was surprisingly exhausting and was even harder than usual.

When he arrived in front of the emperor, Chen Shou's legs were trembling with hungry legs. In addition, he got up early and looked bad.

"Why did I lose my chain at such a critical moment?" Chen Shou secretly blamed himself in his heart.

Miao De, who was standing behind the emperor, looked at him like this, but nodded secretly. This kid is good, pretending to behave like a trembling look. Otherwise, Shou Ge'er would be so handsome and young, it would be impossible for His Majesty to be jealous.

Lao Miaode didn't know that Chen Shou was not pretending at all, he was really tired and hungry.

Sure enough, Emperor Gengyuan was very satisfied when he saw his "retreated and cowardly" look. It seemed that his aura of the emperor was not something that these first-time people could resist.

"My little minister Chen Shou, I have seen Your Majesty, I wish my emperor a long life."

Some of the palace maids around him had already covered their mouths and laughed, thinking that this little official was really funny. The ordinary face saint was even more grand than the big court meeting.

Chen Shou's trick was learned from TV, but in fact it was the etiquette of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were the peaks of imperial power. Nowadays, when ministers see the emperor, there are actually no such rules, just hold their fists.

"You are so good at teaching." Miao De smiled even happier.

The old emperor was also very happy, so he liked this feeling, being arrogant and surrendered to all the surnames.

"Please calm down, come here, give me a seat."

It is a rare honor to be given a seat when you meet the saint for the first time.

Chen Shou sat for a day, and his butt was numb. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and said, "In front of the saint, the little minister dared not sit down."

"Hahaha, then you just stand and talk."

Chen Shou let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the most important time was coming, he got rid of some distractions, focused on his mind, and his face became solemn.

"Your Majesty, I look at the sky at night. I saw the bright moon at night, the fields were burning the prairie, and the meteors from the sky fell in the northwest corner, sinking into deep pits, and the strange fire grew with the wind. The fire ran ten miles across and burned all the living plants and trees. This is a very bad sign, and it happened to be on the Ziwei Star. I am afraid that I will disturb Your Majesty's dragon body, so I dared to ask for the saint to face the saint and offer immortal pills to relieve this disaster."

As soon as Chen Shou finished speaking, the relaxed and joking on Emperor Geng Yuan's face disappeared, and all the scenes in his dream suddenly came to mind.

"Why did this kid know the scene in my dream? So it's all true? Did God ask a dream to warn me?"

Without any sweet words, Chen Shou made Emperor Gengyuan completely believe him with just this one.

Why did he know? It's too simple.

Sometimes the old emperor woke up in a dream and told the people who were serving him. But he turned around and slept again, forgetting everything in the dream, and also forgot about telling the palace maids and eunuchs in the middle.

He forgot that these eunuchs and palace maids did not forget them, and soon it reached the ears of Yue Xiang, the head of the palace affairs manager.

Yue Xiang knew, and of course Chen Shou knew it.

"Hurry, bring the elixir up."

A palace maid went down quickly, and Emperor Gengyuan shouted behind him: "If it falls, I will kill your nine clans."

The palace maid who had nothing to do was so scared that her thighs trembled. Chen Shou shook his robe, knelt on one knee, held the box in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is an immortal pill, and it should not be passed through the hands of ordinary people. I dared to ask Your Majesty to come and pick it up in person."

Since you want to show off, you must be too arrogant and not be timid.

Chen Shou completely took over the role. His face was pious, as if he was holding it, it was really a elixir. For a moment, he believed it himself.

“Bold!”

Miao De's forehead blew out of his thin Han, and he scolded him behind Emperor Gengyuan.

Emperor Gengyuan waved his hand and held the dragon throne. The palace maid quickly stepped forward to help him stand up.
