Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

If the emperor wants to eat something, as long as it is available in the world, he can always find a way to eat it, not to mention that the things that are already in front of him cannot be eaten just by saying so.

He wanted to taste the sweet tofu pudding, and soon the sweet tofu pudding was served.

Jiang Qi took a bite. How should I describe it? Compared with the salty taste, it was a completely different feeling. After taking the first bite, people couldn't help but want to take a second bite.

Jiang Huai, like his father, thinks sweet tofu pudding is delicious.

After everyone had tasted it, Lan Shu was the only one in the family of four who thought that the sweet bean curd tasted weird and didn't like it very much. But she didn't want to waste it and ate it anyway.

After eating tofu pudding, she ate tofu stewed with turnip and cold tofu. The cold tofu was a bit cold, so she ate two bites and stopped eating, but she ate a few more bites of the tofu stewed with turnip.

Including the tofu pudding she had eaten before, she had already eaten a lot today, much more than in the past few days.

After dinner, the prince took the little princess out for a walk to digest the food, while Jiang Qi took the queen into the inner hall, asked the servants to leave, and then began to talk about Jiang Tuan.

Of course, it was not explicitly stated that the Huns' stealing of fortune would endanger their family, only that it would endanger the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

However, even if Jiang Qi didn't say it, Lan Shu could hear the seriousness of the matter from his words. Their family is a royal family. If Daxia is not good, how good can their family be?

After Jiang Qi finished speaking, she was silent for a long time before asking, "Is that Jiang Tuan really here to help Da Xia?"

The emperor nodded and said, "It has been confirmed. Today's tofu pudding and tofu, as well as the salt that tastes better than usual, were made by him today. They are all things that Daxia does not have.

Moreover, he told me something very surprising today."

"Is it related to those Jijin instruments?"

After hearing Jiang Tuan say that Ji Jin was poisonous today, Jiang Qi immediately ordered all Ji Jin utensils in the palace to be sealed up and not to be used again.

Since the day it appeared, Ji Jin has always been a symbol of status.

Although the utensils made of it were no longer used only as ceremonial objects in the Great Xia Dynasty as in previous dynasties, they began to become common items in people's lives.

But this "people" still refers to the nobles and has nothing to do with the common people.

When Jiang Qi ordered all the golden utensils to be sealed, the concubines in the harem were shocked. They thought they had done something wrong and angered the emperor, who was going to demote them to commoners.

In panic, the concubines came to Lan Shu one after another, wanting to know what they had done wrong.

When they arrived, they found that Lan Shu’s palace was also sealed, and they suddenly calmed down.

After all, every concubine in the harem knew that in the palace of Daxia, the emperor only cared about the queen and her children, and they were just tools for the emperor to entertain himself when he was bored.

Were they jealous of the queen? At first they were jealous, but gradually they realized that they should not be jealous of the queen, but should curry favor with her.

Because only the empress dared to plead for them when the emperor was furious, and only the emperor would listen seriously to what the empress said, so there was no need to think about competing for their favor.

If you fail to win favor and are disliked by the emperor and then hated by the empress, it would be a loss.

As long as they are obedient, the empress will not treat them badly even if the emperor ignores them.

For example, the palace now requires frugality, and the queen herself lives a simple life in food, clothing and other expenses, but she does not deliberately treat them harshly, which makes it difficult for them not to respect the queen.

Because the emperor had enough respect and preference for the queen. In the concubines' minds, even if the emperor himself was in danger, he would protect the queen and their children and leave safely.

Therefore, sealing up their bronze products might be because of some dissatisfaction with them, while sealing up those in the queen's palace was definitely not because of some dissatisfaction with the queen, but because of some special reasons.

There is no time when the emperor doesn't want to know about things in the harem. When Lan Shu said this, Jiang Qi remembered what Ning Bai had told him today.

"They came to look for you? Don't they know that you are not in good health? They come to bother you. It seems that I am too good to them!"

"It's not easy for them either. Your Majesty, please don't scare them all the time."

Lan Shu was not saying something that was inconsistent with her heart, nor was she pretending to be magnanimous. She truly felt that the women in the harem had a difficult life.

She also felt uncomfortable when those women first came.

Even though she was taught this by her parents since she was a child, and even though this was the case all around her, she would still feel a little unhappy when she thought about her husband being with another woman.

But after a long time, she found that Jiang Qi didn't care about those women at all, and treated them no more attentively than he would a good horse.

In her opinion, those women were probably just like toys in Jiang Qi's eyes. He would look at them when he was happy, but would not think about them at all when he was unhappy.

After she understood, her unhappiness gradually dissipated, and she even felt some sympathy for those women.

It's not that she is too sympathetic, but those women have had a very difficult life.

Among those people, some were once the daughters of Jiang Qi's opponents, and some were orphans of the previous dynasty. If the emperor did not accept them, no one else would dare to accept them, and the only thing waiting for them was death.

It seems that when they come to the palace, all they want is to live a good life, and no one dares to ask for favor.

Lan Shu was not stingy with her compassion for those women with awkward and pitiful identities, and tried her best to give them some care.

Of course, for some carefree women, she also has her own methods to let those women know who has the final say in the harem.

"Okay, I'll listen to the Queen and not bother with them.

The reason why the Jijin instruments were sealed up was because Jiang Tuan said that long-term use of those instruments would cause poisoning! "

"Poisoned! Why? Are Huai'er and Yi'er okay?"

When Lan Shu heard Jiang Qi say that she would be poisoned, the first thing she thought of was her two children.

Jiang Qi saw that his queen's face had turned pale, and he quickly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, the imperial physician has checked it and said that there is no problem for the time being.

Jiang Tuan also said that it is not certain that they will be poisoned, but it is just a possibility. They should be fine. "

"What about Your Majesty?"

"It's fine with me, I'm just worried about you."

Jiang Qi touched Lan Shu's wrist, which was so thin that it was just skin and bones, and felt extremely sad.

He and Lan Shu were childhood sweethearts and had experienced a lot together.

After so many years, in his heart, Lan Shu was not only his queen, but also a part of his life. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if she passed away!

Lan Shu was stunned for a moment by what Jiang Qi said, then she smiled: "I'm fine. Didn't the imperial physician say that I have a stomach disease? I'll be fine if I take good care of myself. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
