Chapter 567: go to the queen
Chapter 567 Go find the queen
In a daze, the medicine boy came over with hot water.
"Young master, drink some hot water."
Yaotong looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he copied the accent of the old capital. It seemed that he had lived here for a long time.
"Little brother, if you have nothing to do, sit down for a while. If you haven't eaten at night, come, have a pancake."
Many of these drug boys are apprentices, and there are only a few dozen copper coins for living allowances every month. Looking at the delicious pancakes in front of him, the drug boy couldn't help but took one, "Thank you, sir, look at these pancakes. It's delicious."
"Little brother is from the capital, right?" Si Chen took the opportunity to ask.
"Yes, I grew up in the capital since childhood."
"Oh, that's good. The capital is big, and there are more opportunities to find jobs. By the way, little brother, I once heard in a teahouse that the gentleman who read the book said, is there a Dengwen drum outside the palace for the people to avenge their grievances? As long as you beat the Dengwen drum, you can see the emperor?"
Yaotong was puzzled when he heard this, "Dengwen Drum? I've never heard of this before. Those storytellers are all making up nonsense, right? Where did the Dengwen Drum come from?"
When Si Chen heard the words, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes, "Yes, did the storyteller make it up..."
"Yes, son, I have been in the capital for so many years and I have never heard of it."
"Then, if there are people in Beijing who want to avenge their grievances, what should they do?"
Yaotong said: "Look for Jing Zhaoyin, isn't Master Jing Zhaoyin just to avenge the people's grievances?"
Si Chen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Jing Zhaoyin can't control this matter..."
"What did you say, young master? Is there any grievance, young master? It would be nice if you came earlier."
Si Chen looked up in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master, I don't know. A while ago, the Empress personally took the poor people to burn charcoal on the hillside in the outskirts of the city. If you had come earlier, wouldn't you have been able to seek justice from the Empress?" It's a bit vague.
Si Chen's delicate eyebrows frowned, "The empress is the master of the middle palace, how can she participate in the affairs of the previous court?"
Yaotong had a look of incomprehension on his face, "You don't know that, maybe other queens can't participate, but our current queen is different. The empress is amazing, she has done a lot for us poor people. Nothing."
Yaotong told Si Chen about Su Ying's glorious deeds with great interest, and Si Chen was dumbfounded.
Secretly thought that there is such a woman in this world, it is really rare.
"That's why I said you missed it. If you have grievances and have nowhere to complain, you can go to your empress. I'm sure you're right."
Si Chen was stunned, now that the queen has returned to the palace, how can he see the empress? He can wait, but the people waiting for him can't wait.
The drug boy yawned after he was full. Seeing Si Chen's thoughtful look, he probably listened to his words, "By the way, I heard that the empress would go to the women's academy from time to time. The young master wants to see the empress. If so, you can wait outside the Women's Academy."
"Girls' school?"
"Well, yes, it is the women's academy I mentioned to you just now. It was set up by the empress. The empress will go to the women's academy at least twice a month to check the situation. I don't know the exact time, but you go there to watch the situation. Keep it, I will definitely keep it.”
Si Chen was grateful, and asked about the location of the Women's Academy. If it wasn't already dark now, he wished he could go there now.
"Don't worry, my lord. Your wife can't go there at night. It's getting late. You still have injuries on your body. You should rest early."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Yaotong waved his hands indifferently, yawned and left the room.
A night without dreams.
Wake up, open the window, and everything you can see is white snow.
Bai Shuang let out a breath of white air, stood up and washed, and waited outside the inner hall door.
As soon as Bai Shuang stood still, the door of the inner hall was opened by Zhang Shuming, and Xiao Jin in a dragon robe came out to look for Zao Chao.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Xiao Jin paused slightly, "Your Majesty wanted to eat noodle soup last night, so go to the imperial dining room and ask the imperial chef to add a bowl of noodle soup to it."
"Yes, servant girl will go now."
Xiao Jin nodded slightly, and disappeared in the snowstorm in the blink of an eye.
It's getting cold, and Fengluan Palace is a little far away from the imperial dining room, the food will be almost cold when brought over, so at this time they will first bring the food back and warm it in the small stove in the palace, and then they can eat when Su Ying wakes up to warm.
When Bai Shuang arrived at the imperial dining room, He Shouyi was busy preparing breakfast.
"Uncle He, you are still busy."
He Shouyi heard the movement and looked back, and laughed when he saw Bai Shuang, "When did you come back, little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Bai Shuang walked into Jin's kitchen and took a warm steamed bun into her mouth. These were breakfasts prepared for the servants in the palace. She was hungry after chasing her all the way.
"The food cooked by Uncle He is still delicious, any food is delicious."
As a cook, what I like to hear most is other people's recognition of my cooking skills. He Shouyi laughed so hard that the creases in the corners of his eyes deepened when he heard her say that.
"What's the matter, does the emperor have any orders?"
Bai Shuang opened her eyes in surprise and said: "How did Uncle He know that it was the emperor's order?"
He Shouyi's smile deepened, "Usually the empress is still awake at this time, and besides, I have cooked for the empress for so long, she has never sent someone over early in the morning to add something, except for the emperor. "Every time Xiao Jin added something to Su Ying, he was used to it.
Bai Shuang gave He Shouyi a thumbs up in admiration.
"The emperor asked the uncle to prepare a bowl of noodle soup for the empress, red dates and wolfberry chicken noodle soup. He said that it would be hot and comfortable to eat early in the morning."
"Is the empress up now?"
"It wasn't there when I came here."
He Shouyi nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I will make the noodles in a while, you take the prepared ones back first, and this will be done after one round of meetings."
"Hey good."
Su Ying got up when Bai Shuang returned to Fengluan Palace with the food box.
Even in the middle of winter, she doesn't have the habit of staying in bed, unless Xiao Jin had tossed hard the night before, and she would only go to bed late when she was really tired.
"The empress is awake, and the food is still hot, so the empress should eat while it's hot."
"What about the First Prince?"
Zhou Qing smiled and said: "The eldest prince and the princess haven't woken up at this point, it is said that the time for class now is half an hour later than before, so you can sleep a little longer."
Su Ying nodded, it was quite humane.
"The emperor went to court in the morning, and specifically asked the servants to go and ask Uncle He to make a bowl of hot noodle soup for the empress."
Su Ying was slightly taken aback, she seemed to casually say that she wanted to eat hot noodle soup last night, but Xiao Jin remembered it in her heart.
