Chapter 152 She understands, but she’s bored
Under Gu Wanyu's careful guidance, the relationship between the two has always been peaceful and simple.
So after giving instructions about dinner, he took out the chessboard and played chess.
Almost speechless, except for the occasional small and crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard.
The atmosphere in the hall is calm and full of warmth and harmony.

Qing Huan, Zhao Youzheng and others were already used to this, but all the servants in the palace were secretly stunned.

I'm afraid the emperor won't be like this with the queen, right?

Wang Changcai, who was standing with his head bowed in the corner, secretly pinched the purse in his sleeve.
perhaps,

Did you find a good master this time?
Zhao Youzheng personally went to the imperial dining room to order dinner.
Knowing that Song Jingzhang was in Chonghua Palace and that she was the only empress in the palace who was pregnant with a dragon fetus,

The imperial kitchens were all ready and prepared with great care, and the dishes were served well and quickly.

Gu Wanyu's side hadn't finished the game when Zhao Youzheng came to report that dinner was ready.

"Your Majesty, do you want to prepare a meal at this time?"

Song Jingzhang glanced at Gu Wanyu opposite, who was still holding the chess pieces and staring at the chessboard in deep thought.
"Set it."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to push the chessboard, stood up and took her hand, "Eat first, the chessboard won't move. I'll play with you after dinner."

Gu Wanyu followed suit and followed him to the Eight Immortals table.
Taking a quick look, he saw that the table was full of dishes, and the only gap was for the bowls and chopsticks for the two of them.

When I was young, I heard rumors from the market in Yangzhou.

According to legend, every time the emperor had a meal, he would have 108 dishes.
When I was young at that time, I believed it to be true and thought it would be great to be the emperor.

Later, when I got a little older and went to Lu Mansion, I happened to think of this incident and thought it was a folk rumor.

No matter how noble the emperor is, he cannot be so extravagant as to eat one hundred and eight dishes at a meal. Otherwise, the advice of the censors is not a joke.

Those remonstrating ministers have always been proud to die for remonstrance, and they wish they could really die for their remonstrance, so that their good reputation would be passed down through history.

Therefore, although the emperor's meal standard was 108 dishes, the emperors in the past dynasties would make some cuts.

As for the number of deletions, it depends on the emperor’s own frugality.

Song Jingzhang also dined with her in the past.

But at that time, he was still in the palace and he was just a prince.

Song Jingzhang never said anything about the eight dishes and one soup cooked in her small dining room.
After she knew his identity, she just pretended that he wasn't that concerned about food or that he was really frugal.
But now looking at the specifications of this imperial meal, although it is not that exaggerated, it is indeed not uncommon.
At a rough look, there are about thirty dozen of them.

Not to mention anything else, it is quite admirable that the Imperial Kitchen can make so many vegetarian dishes.

"What are you doing standing still?"

Approaching the table, Song Jingzhang let go of her hand, lifted up his robe and sat at the head of the table.
I looked up and saw that she was still frozen in place.
Thinking that she was concerned about the rules of the palace, he directly motioned for her to sit down.

Gu Wanyu smiled and said,

Ignoring the surprised looks of the little maids in the palace, I said what I had just said in my mind.

"... I never thought that your majestic Lord Yin would be so frugal. It shows that you have experienced the sufferings of the people, and it is actually a blessing to all people."

No one dislikes compliments from others, not to mention her compliments were so sincere.

Song Jingzhang is also at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.
Youdao means not changing your father's ways for three years. Even if you are an emperor, you don't have to follow them seriously.

But he has only been on the throne for a month, which is not too much. The ambitions and policies he has in mind have not yet been implemented.

If it has not been implemented yet, it means there is no political achievement.
Since he has no political achievements, naturally no one, except for the flatterers, will praise him as a good emperor. At most, he will praise him for his filial piety.

Gu Wanyu was the first emperor to praise him for being frugal and caring for the people.

"Just cutting out a few dishes is worthy of your praise?"

Gu Wanyu curled her lips, took the handkerchief from Qingdai and wiped her hands.
After being together for such a long time, she knew Song Jingzhang fairly well.
Although he did not show obvious joy,
But being able to say this means that I am extremely happy.

After cleaning her hands, she turned around and met Song Jingzhang's eyes, which were looking directly at her.

Their eyes met, Song Jingzhang was the first to look away,

"Ahem! Let's have a meal."

He coughed lightly and waved his hand to Zhao Youzheng to prepare the dishes.

Gu Wanyu naturally had Qinghuan helping with the dishes. He picked up a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices and put them into his mouth. His eyes instantly lit up.

Although Grandma Sun’s craftsmanship in the mansion is good, she is not as good as the imperial chef.
These vegetarian dishes are also delicious, yet still delicious.
Gu Wanyu didn't care at all about the opinions of his servants.
After using a whole bowl of bijing rice, two thumb-sized dumplings and a bowl of old ginseng chicken soup, I stopped using my silver chopsticks.

The one she used was so sweet that Song Jingzhang even used half a bowl of rice.

While the two were having dinner, a rumor arose in the harem:

In Fengqi Palace, Bai Zhi got the news and hurried to the palace to report.
"Mother, there are rumors outside that Ning Zhaoyi's pregnancy is not good. As soon as she entered the palace today, she notified the imperial doctor and the emperor also passed by."

Lin paused with the pen he was holding, "Where did the news come from?"

"It's Ting Yuxuan, but people from Fuyang Palace and Jinxi Palace are also talking about it," Bai Zhi replied.

Aunt Nai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ning Zhaoyi entered the palace at noon. Jin Xiuyi, Wang Guibin, and Lan Bin all went to greet them. I'm afraid we may see something from this,"

"Besides, I still remember that the person sent to Qianqing Gate in the afternoon also mentioned that Ning Zhaoyi looked bad after getting off the carriage."

Lin thought for a moment and finally recalled this sentence.
However, the second princess who was carried by Gu at that time distracted most of her attention and did not think about these words in detail.

Now it seems that Gu's pregnancy is really not good.

Lin dropped the pen in her hand and said, "Have you gone to Chonghua Palace to inquire about it?"

"She was very strict. She only said it was an anti-fetal medicine." Bai Zhi shook her head.

Lin was silent.

"Your Majesty, I think we are worrying too much."

"What do you mean by this?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows and looked over.

Aunt Nai waved her hand for everyone in the hall to retreat, and then whispered:

"Your Majesty, that bitch may not have betrayed us by pretending to take refuge. Ning Zhaoyi may have really taken the contraceptive pill,"

"Old slave, I remember that the wretched servant reported that when he was in that house, the emperor ordered the imperial physician and outside doctors to nurse Gu's health."

"It was an unexpected coincidence that Mrs. Gu was pregnant, but she really drank the medicine and now she looks bad?"

"That's what the empress said." Aunt Nai nodded, "That bitch may still be of some use."

"Then what does Aunt Yi mean?"

Lin's fingertips tapped on the expenses of Chonghua Palace in the ledger on the desktop, and continued to ask.

"Maybe we can test that bitch again. If she really goes against the will, then there's no harm in getting rid of her."

"But if it is really an accident that caused Gu's pregnancy, we can still make use of it,"

"After all, everyone, especially the Emperor and the Queen Mother, are staring at Chonghua Palace now, so we can't do anything secretly."

Mrs. Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then breathed out a sigh of relief and said softly:

"What mama said is, just do as you say. If you find anything wrong, there is no need to report it again, just..."

She didn't say the next words, but Auntie Nai already understood what she meant.
"Don't worry, Madam, there won't be any mistakes this time."
