Song Pu looked at Tantai Yi with a little speechless eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything at the moment.He handed the food box to Cao Xi, Cao Xi took it out of the food box, conducted the necessary pre-meal inspection, then carefully cut it with a knife, put it into a small dish, and handed it to Tantai Yi.

Tantaiyi tasted a small piece, his slender light golden eyes widened slightly, surprise flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he said: "This pastry is extra soft and delicious, compared with it, the glutinous cloud cake is incomparable." Slightly inferior, is this pastry really made by Song Qing?"

Song Pu said sincerely: "It's absolutely true! How dare I say a false statement to Your Majesty. I made it after four hours of tossing at home, and those uncles and aunts are still laughing at my nonsense!"

Tantai Yi ate another small piece, and Cao Xi who was next to him saw that he liked it, so he hurriedly cut up the remaining cakes neatly and put them aside for Tantai Yi to eat.

Tan Taiyi's eyes fell on the butter in a small bowl beside him, and asked: "Song Qing, what is this?"

Song Pu said with a smile: "This is butter, please taste it, Your Majesty, it tastes very soft and sweet, I like it very much, but unfortunately I don't have much time, I only made so much."

Tantaiyi was dubious, took a little with a spoon, tasted it, his golden eyes lit up instantly, and his voice raised a bit, "Not bad."

Seeing his expression, Song Pu was relieved, and the smile on his face was a bit relaxed, "Does your majesty like it? If you like it, I will make it for your majesty every day from now on."

Tantai Yi put down the spoon reservedly, "It's okay."

Even so, Song Pu was highly affirmed, "Song Qing's craftsmanship is so exquisite that no imperial chef in the lonely palace can compare."

Song Pu said embarrassingly: "I can only make some cakes. If I ask my minister to cook, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

From the corner of his eye, seeing Tantai Yi reaching out to twist a few pieces of cake to eat, he wanted to laugh, so he held back.

After a while, Song Pu asked, "What's your majesty's plan today?"

Tantai Yi cleared his throat, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "I'm going to go out of the palace to have a look."

Song Pu said very tactfully: "Does your majesty still remember what you said to me?"

Tan Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let Song Qing enter the palace alone?"

Song Pu: "..."

Song Pu said carefully: "Your Majesty, think about it later?"

Tantai Yi said: "I don't remember, what is Song Qing talking about?"

Song Pu: "..."

Song Pu swallowed a sip of water, and said tentatively: "To tell you the truth, I will make several kinds of snacks like this. I guarantee that your majesty has never tasted them. I wonder if your majesty is interested?"

Tan Taiyi glanced at him, "Song Qing has never been in the kitchen, but she can make such delicious pastries with her own hands. She is so talented that she can do it as she said, it is really surprising."

Song Pu puffed up his chest and said impassionedly: "Because I want to please Your Majesty more than anything else, I want to make Your Majesty treat me differently, so I put in a lot of effort. This cake is soaked with my sincere blood and entrusted with my mellowness. Hope, that's why it's so delicious. If His Majesty is satisfied, I will die without regret!"

Tantai Yi believed it, his eyes suddenly softened a lot, yesterday he also sent the Black Dragon Guard beside him to go to the Duke's Mansion to squat for a while, knowing that Song Pu was telling the truth, even the cook couldn't help him, All were done by Song Qing alone.

He paused for a moment, and his tone softened, "Gu remembered it a little bit."

Song Pu's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Think again, Your Majesty? I really don't know where to spill my blood! If Your Majesty enjoys eating, I'd like to be near the cook every day, just to show off my smile for Your Majesty!"

Tan Taiyi smiled, "Song Qing is like this, Song Guogong can't blame Gu Gu for wasting his little girl."

Song Pudao: "My father and I generally have a sincere heart towards His Majesty. If you know it, you won't have any complaints. Maybe you will urge your ministers to do more for the better. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this."

After Tantai Yi heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth subsided a little, his gaze fell into the distance, and he whispered: "I just remembered."

Song Pu looked at Tantai Yi with bright eyes, "Your Majesty really remembered?"

Tan Taiyi coughed lightly, and sighed: "Remember, Song Qing is really the nemesis of loneliness."

He said these words with a somewhat helpless look, but the conniving gesture was clear at a glance, and the people around him were stunned.

Looking at Song Pu again, I saw an undisguised smile on his face, and he said cheerfully: "Your Majesty's favor to me, I will always remember it in my heart, I only hope that there will be more opportunities to do my best for Your Majesty in the future! Your Majesty today What else are you going to do?"

Tan Taiyi looked at him, looked at his bright and smiling eyes, squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "Back to Chunhe Palace, except for Song Qing, I have nothing to call today, the others can leave first .”

Chang Jiangming and Xie Nuoyu really couldn't understand that Song Pu was so comfortable in front of Tantai Yi, and they had nothing to say for a while. After hearing Tantai Yi's words, they quickly confessed the crime together with Xie Nuoyu, and returned early. Home.

Although there were few people in the palace, Chang Jiangming didn't dare to talk too much in the palace, so he said to Xie Nuoyu after he got out of the palace gate, "Was Apu so good at talking before? "

The babbling of that small mouth has not been able to stop from the very beginning, and it can still make His Majesty show a sincere smile, which is really amazing.

Xie Nuoyu pondered for a moment, then said: "You have the best relationship with him, I am not familiar with him, you don't know, how can I know?"

Chang Jiangming said: "Apu and I have a good time, but now he doesn't talk to me very much in the palace, instead he talks a lot to His Majesty. I didn't expect that after he recovered from his illness, he would be so courageous and able to talk and laugh with His Majesty. .”

His tone was a little low, as if both of them were poor students and one day one of them improved by leaps and bounds to the top of the list, he felt a sense of loss that was severely left behind.

Xie Nuoyu sighed and said: "Brother Zongyi is not here, neither is Yonghe. No one can afford to serve His Majesty's temper. With Song Pu on top, both of us can live in peace. Don't think too much, last time You almost made Song Pu miserable, if he didn't break up with you, he has a good temper."

Chang Jiangming said with shame: "I know I was wrong, and I won't talk nonsense in the future."

Xie Nuoyu said: "Go back, I'm back early today, why don't we go and visit Yonghe together?"

Chang Jiangming said: "Well, it seems that Apu hasn't visited Shen's residence yet, let's take him with him next time."

Xie Nuoyu responded, the groom yelled, and drove the carriage towards Shen's residence.

On the other side, Song Pu followed Tantai Yi into the Chunhe Palace, because there were only the two of them and two eunuchs serving in the palace, Song Pu felt a little more relaxed, and boldly asked Tantai Yi: "Your Majesty, I have a question. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask?"

Tan Taiyi said: "Ask."

Song Pudao: "Your Majesty is the lord of a country, why is the bedroom so simple and rudimentary, it really goes against His Majesty's noble status."

Tan Taiyi was silent for a while, and then said: "Chunhe Palace is the bedroom of the orphan mother, so I don't want to be too lazy to repair it."

Song Pu changed his words without a trace: "So that's the case. No wonder this treasure hall reveals a noble and elegant temperament."

Tantai Yi glanced at him and smiled slightly.

Song Pu was a little flustered by his smile, he blinked, and asked cautiously, "Why are you laughing, Your Majesty?"

Tan Taiyi said: "Song Qing really doesn't know anything, that's fine, in this palace, I know too much, I don't like it alone."

Song Pu was a little dazed, but hearing what Tantai Yi meant, he didn't say anything more as if he understood, but focused on the memorial.

"Your Majesty, let me review the memorial with you." Song Pu said softly.

Tan Taiyi gave a "hmm", picked up a memorial and read it.

Song Pu quietly leaned over and read the content of the memorandum. Compared with the important government affairs before, the book in Tantai Yi's hand was just a memorandum of greetings from the courtiers to the monarch. The farmers' crops are quite fruitful, presumably it is His Majesty's blessing and so on.

Song Pu stared blankly for a while, and realized that these courtiers are also used to bragging. Then he went to see Tantai Yi, and he really felt happy when he saw his brows stretched.

Song Pu: "..."

Song Pu waited quietly for a while, then picked up Tantai Yi's vermilion pen and instructed in a fluttering manner: I know.

Then I picked up another book, and it was also the local courtiers blowing Tantai Yi's rainbow fart, putting some unwarranted "auspiciousness" on Tantai Yi's head to sing various praises, or watching the lively market, because there are Liang Guo ruled by His Majesty, the people can live and work in peace and contentment and so on.

Song Pu was dumbfounded. Compared with these courtiers, his rainbow fart seemed to be a little bit inferior.However, seeing that Tan Taiyi approved a dozen or so notebooks, all of which were bragging and praising, Song Pu also saw the problem.

The batch of emotional memorials have been processed in advance, the farting memorials are put in one pile, and the important state affairs are placed on the other side. Song Pudan sees that he always takes the memorials on the left and does not move the ones on the right.

He was a little speechless, and while the emperor was not paying attention, he took the one on the right and put it on the left.

Tan Taiyi picked up another book, which was the memorial book that Song Pu sent up.

Song Pu poked his head around and saw that it was the first memorial he had opened before. It was the flood of refugees caused by the flood in Yuzhou. According to the report from the prefect of Yuzhou, Yuzhou was completely submerged, and 30% of the people were washed away by the flood. Most of the remaining [-]% lost their homes and became refugees who didn't know how to resettle them. Therefore, they asked the court for money and food for disaster relief, and listed the materials needed. It was conservatively estimated that it would cost [-] taels of silver and [-] shi of grain.

Tantai Yi frowned when he saw it, and subconsciously wanted to cover it up to read the next book.Song Pu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you approve the money and food for disaster relief?"

Tan Taiyi paused for a while, and said after a while: "Song Qing is a scholar, even if I talk to Song Qing alone, I won't understand."

Song Pu was unconvinced, "If your majesty doesn't tell me, how can I understand? The money and food for disaster relief cannot be saved. I really can't think of a reason why your majesty refuses to approve the money and food for disaster relief."

After hearing Song Pu's words, Tantai Yi said displeasedly: "Song Qing is questioning Gu?"

Song Pu hesitated, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty's image in my heart has always been wise and mighty. I have to look up to see His Majesty's knees. Maybe I'm too dull and don't understand His Majesty's deep meaning. It's better to be your Majesty." Confused?"

Tantaiyi's slender fingers stroked the edge of the memorial, and after a while, he said softly: "The first emperor worked hard to rule the country, and he took a lot of trouble with the people. Knowing that the Nu River on the border of Yuzhou rises once a year, he sent people to build a dam. In case, a grain depot was set up in Jiaozhou to prepare for emergencies. The grain depot is garrisoned by the garrison. Jiaozhou is also a fortress area where one country in the south borders and thirteen small countries around it. If other countries invade, the grain depot in Jiaozhou can also be used. Immediate support. However, when Yuzhou fell, the magistrate of Yuzhou didn’t even mention the Jiaozhou grain depot, so he asked Gu for food and money.

Song Pu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Tantai Yi to speak his own words.

It was rare for Tantai Yi to say so many words, and Song Pu couldn't respond, so he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. Looking back, he saw Song Pu's eyes were shining brightly, full of admiration and admiration, and he almost threw himself to the ground, "Your Majesty is really Your Majesty. , I don’t even know that there is such a trick.”

Tantai Yi seemed to be scalded by his extraordinarily bright eyes, and he dodged his gaze for a while, and for some reason, his face was also slightly hot, turning a faint red.

His skin is so fair, as if transparent, and some colors are particularly conspicuous. He pretended to be cold and said: "That's why I said that Song Qing didn't understand!"

Song Pu said: "Now that your majesty has spoken to the minister, the minister will understand. What does your majesty mean is that the magistrate of Yuzhou is taking advantage of the opportunity to make money from the country?"

Tantai Yi paused for a moment, then said: "The grain depot in Jiaozhou is big enough to feed the entire people of Yuzhou for half a year, and it's Lixia at this time, so there is no need for cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes and other items. After the flood subsides, the refugees will be arranged to return to the city for construction. Half a year Isn't it enough time for them to rebuild a city of Yuzhou? The magistrate of Yuzhou is nothing more than bullying and ignoring the government, ignorant of government affairs, and ignorant of the situation."

Seeing that Tantai Yi was willing to talk to him more, Song Pu became more courageous, "Then it's okay for His Majesty to ignore it, why don't you order the Jiaozhou garrison to open the grain depot?"

Tan Taiyi said: "If the magistrate of Yuzhou had the heart to serve the people, he would have been able to kill first and then play. First order the garrison to open the grain depot, and then ask for a plea. This is a special situation, and even the late emperor would not blame him."

When he talked about the late emperor, his eyes changed. Song Pu also felt his complicated attitude towards the late emperor. He was infected by the atmosphere and dared not speak for a while.

Tantaiyi regained his composure, and said again: "The flood at the end of last month, the prefect of Jiaozhou had no records, and the prefect of Yuzhou also asked for relief money and food. I have to wonder what happened to the Jiaozhou grain depot."

Song Pu was excited, "Could it be that the grain from the grain depot was resold?"

...Wait, the point is not this, how does the dog emperor know that the prefect of Jiaozhou has no capital!Could it be...?

The author has something to say:

Pu: Ah Gou, you...?

Agou: I am not alone! Shut up without you!
