Quickly wear "I am the empress"

The imperial doctors ate on the spot, but the people kneeling in the Jinluan Hall were ravenous.

They had not eaten for several days and nights, and now their stomachs were empty. It was the time when they felt uncomfortable. The tangy fragrance came to their nostrils, and they felt that their stomachs were beginning to hurt.

At this time, they seriously suspected that Cheng Huaimo must have wanted to take revenge on them by bringing food at this time.

It's not a good time for him to send food to make amends, but to send it at this time, isn't it obvious that he has bad intentions?

As expected, he is a ruthless person. He just robbed their family, but now he is still using this method to make them uncomfortable...

Imperial doctors pay great attention to health preservation, so they chew carefully when eating, three times slower than ordinary people.

This made the officials inside very anxious. What happened to these imperial doctors? How could they eat so slowly? Can't they just take a few big bites?

No matter how much the people inside gnashed their teeth, no one outside the palace could see it.

Hearing the gurgling sounds inside, Cheng Huaimo smiled and said to her, "Princess, I see that you don't look very well, why don't I ask you to make some appetizers for you to try?"

Zhiyu waved her hand, "No need. I can't stomach it when I see all the ministers suffering here."

Seeing that Zhiyu did not agree, Cheng Huaimo sighed regretfully, "The chef in the minister's house is very good at making roasted whole lamb. The roasted lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and it makes people eat it. Endless aftertaste.”

"After I ate the roasted whole lamb cooked by this chef, I was shocked for a while. Later, when I ate food cooked by other chefs, I felt it was mediocre."

"I'm still thinking of letting the princess have a taste of this cook's skills."

Zhiyu shook his head when he heard this, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely try the roasted lamb in your mouth."

"The adults in the court are suffering at this time, and I am not in the mood for food."

Hearing what Zhiyu said, Cheng Huaimo let out a long sigh: "The princess is really benevolent and righteous."

"They are kneeling here. At best, they are opposing the decree issued by His Majesty. At worst, they are despising the imperial authority."

"Princess, why bother to spend so much time guarding them here."

Zhiyu shook his head and said helplessly: "Besides, they are also our ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that I can still let them cause trouble in the Jinluan Palace?"

"Besides, humans are not gods and cannot tell whether what they do is right or wrong."

"Although I don't know the meaning of your lords always kneeling here, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, I should do my part to protect the people of the world and also protect you lords."

In the evening, Wu Zetian summoned Zhiyu to her bedroom.

What happened in front of the Jinluan Palace today naturally reached Wu Zetian's ears.

She smiled happily and said in a pleasant tone: "This kid Cheng Huaimo really knows how to add insult to injury."

"Those rigid people in the court should be so hungry that their chests are touching their backs by now."

Zhiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother Queen, you can go to court tomorrow."

Wu Zetian nodded and said with a teasing look on his face: "It's time for me to go to court tomorrow."

"It's just that before I go to court, I want the people in the court to suffer a little..."

Hearing this, he realized what he was saying and quickly raised his hands and said, "Mother, please leave this matter to your son."

Seeing Zhiyu being so kind, Wu Zetian patted her shoulder happily, with a smile on her face.

"Yue'er has worked hard today. I asked my sister-in-law and chicken to stew some soup. Remember to drink it later."

"If you can't drink it all by yourself, give some to the imperial doctors. They are on duty outside the Jinluan Palace at night. It's really hard for them."

Hearing that Wu Zetian prepared chicken stewed with mushrooms, Zhiyu nodded with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, making the exposure deeper and heavier.

Just when the imperial doctor who was left on duty was dozing off, a domineering fragrance floated in the air, confusing the dozing imperial doctor.

After a while, under the escort of the guards, Zhiyu appeared in the dark night with a smile on his face.

"Meet Princess Taiping."

Jian Zhiyu not only did not return to Princess Taiping's mansion at night, but instead showed up here. The three imperial doctors who were left on duty quickly got up and saluted.

Zhiyu waved her hand and said with an approachable smile: "My lords, there is no need to be polite."

"I was thinking that you all came in a hurry and might not have brought any clothes to keep out the cold, so I went to the Queen Mother to beg for some clothes."

"Thank you for your consideration, princess."

Seeing that Zhiyu cared so much about them, the three imperial doctors were so moved that they quickly handed over their hands and thanked them.

Zhiyu waved to the guard behind him, who nodded and quickly put the clothes and food boxes in his hands forward.

"Deeper exposure. Thank you for your hard work, my lords. I asked the people in the imperial kitchen to stew some chicken soup. If you don't mind it, you can drink some to keep warm."

Hearing what Zhiyu said, the three imperial doctors once again raised their hands and thanked him.

From all the way, they could smell the aroma of chicken soup. Originally, they were not hungry. After all, they only ate food sent by Duke Wu in the afternoon.

But smelling the chicken soup was so fragrant, their greed was aroused and they couldn't help but want to try some.

In the quiet Jinluan Hall, the ministers, who had not eaten for several days and were already listless from hunger, smelled the tangy fragrance outside and felt mixed emotions in their hearts.

What's going on with Princess Taiping? The Jinluan Palace is an important place for the imperial court. It's against the rules for her to let the imperial doctor eat at the door today. How can she bring chicken soup now?

This is a place to discuss national affairs, not a place to eat...

At this moment, a hungry minister fell to the ground with his chest pressed against his back. He looked weakly at the people kneeling around him and said helplessly: "I won't kneel anymore."

"Your Majesty wants women to take part in the imperial examination, just let them take part."

"It has nothing to do with me whether a woman enters the court, whether she is an official, or not. There is really no need for me to suffer here."

"I have two daughters at home. If women can take the scientific examination, I will train my two daughters well. Maybe they will be able to take the exam and go back home..."

As he spoke, he struggled to crawl out and said to everyone in a guilty voice: "My lords, I really can't help myself."

"I was born into a poor family, and everyone in my family depends on me to support them. If I die here today, my parents, wife, and children will have no one to rely on. I can't continue to waste time here."

After hearing what this official said, Pei Yan frowned weakly and said with a bit of hatred: "Master Song, have you forgotten your original intention of becoming an official?"

"If women were really allowed to enter the court, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"How can you be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, worthy of the late emperor..."

The minister who was called Mr. Song gave a wry smile and said, "Prime Minister, I was born in poverty. I am used to seeing the suffering of the people and the many injustices in this world."

"When I was a young official, I studied and made a great ambition. If I become an official in the future, I will protect the peace of the people, avoid corruption, accept bribes, and never cheat others..."

"Xiaguan's departure from the Jinluan Hall today does not violate his original intention of becoming an official. Why should he kneel here?"

"Xiaguan has been kneeling here for three days. During these three days, countless people who have had grievances want to find Xiaguan to resolve their cases. If Xiaguan stays any longer, he will have more and more things on his hands... ....”

After saying that, the minister had climbed to the entrance of Jinluan Palace. He looked up at the imperial doctor who was drinking chicken soup not far away, and weakly shouted: "Imperial doctor, please give me a diagnosis and treatment."

Seeing Song Hou crawling out on his own, Zhiyu, who was sitting in a chair in a daze, was startled and shouted to the imperial doctor: "Stay with the imperial doctor and go and see him quickly."

Liu Yuyi, who was named by Zhiyu, glanced at Song Hou calmly, swallowed the chicken soup in his mouth slowly, and then Chao Zhiyu cupped his hands and said, "Princess, he is fine."

After saying that, Imperial Doctor Liu put down the bowl in his hand, took another clean bowl from the food box, poured a little chicken soup and walked towards Song Hou.
