The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

After all, Zixiu never flatters or flatters.But ah but, he didn't expect Zixiu to deceive him.

Concubine Hui knelt on the ground helplessly, she didn't know how the emperor would deal with them, after all, they could be said to have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.This crime can be big or small, but it is just a matter of the emperor's words.

The two were quickly brought up, Zixiu and Rongruo didn't know what happened, so they looked dazed when they saw a room full of people kneeling.Fortunately, Rong Ruo reacted quickly, he pulled his sleeves and repaired them, the two knelt down together and said: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is auspicious."

Kangxi snorted, and said, "It's not auspicious for me to be so angry with you. You two have joined forces to deceive me. Where do you put me?"

When Rong Ruo heard this, he immediately realized that the emperor knew the truth about cuttlefish soup, so he simply confessed: "Everything is the fault of Caomin alone, please let the emperor let concubine Hui and Yuchu Lin go."

Kangxi laughed back angrily: "I want you to teach me how to do it?" Looking at Zixiu in a blink of an eye, he said, "Lin Zixiu, you are so bold, didn't you tell me that you spilled the cuttlefish soup?"

Zixiu closed his eyes, wondering if the emperor wanted his head?He didn't expect that the matter would become so big. He didn't say that at the beginning to excuse anyone, but based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, he blocked the matter on himself.

He lowered his head and said: "I know my mistake, I shouldn't lie to the emperor." Hearing what he said, Kangxi's anger immediately dissipated a lot, but it re-accumulated after hearing what he said later.

Zixiu said: "It's all the slave's fault. The concubine Hui and Rong Ruo didn't know about it. I hope the emperor won't punish them."

Kangxi almost wanted to kick him twice, he wanted to find a step to expose it, but Zixiu said that again.This kid, do you want to be punished by him so much?

But at this time, Rong Ruo also came to add to the chaos, he pulled Zixiu's sleeve and said: "Zixiu, don't talk nonsense, people who do wrong things are grassroots, it has nothing to do with Zixiu, the emperor should punish grassroots."

The plot is like the bloody eight o'clock file, it is already running.

Kangxi slapped the table vigorously and said, "Shut up, everyone!"

Everyone stopped, hanging their heads, not daring to make any more noise.

Kangxi said: "Since you are all scrambling to be punished, it really makes no sense for me not to punish you."

Concubine Hui exclaimed: "Your Majesty..." Kangxi was so frightened that she fell back to her seat.

"Concubine Hui, if you don't report what you know, you will be banned for a month." Kangxi looked at Concubine Hui and said coldly.Concubine Hui knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your punishment, my concubine obeys the order."

She looked at Rong Ruo uneasily, not knowing what punishment he would receive.To be honest, a one-month confinement is not a heavy punishment for her. She knows that the emperor is still kind and reluctant, but for Rong Ruo...

"Nalan Rongruo, you make mistakes first, and you don't report back to the king. It's really bad. In ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. I heard that you are talented. I believe this is not a difficult thing for you. I will give it to you. Given a chance, if you can compose a poem with the title I proposed within half a cup of tea, I will spare you the guilt."

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Hui was about to speak again, but Kangxi said, "Whoever dares to intercede will shorten the time again."

Concubine Hui didn't dare to speak again, she looked at Rong Ruo with worry in her eyes.It's true that Rong Ruo is talented, but half a cup of tea, how can you write a poem?

But Rong Ruo said: "Please ask the emperor to come up with a question, if Rong Ruo can't do it, he will be punished."

Kangxi said: "It's late spring now, if you can compose a poem in half a cup of tea, I will forgive you." A cup of tea is within seven steps.

The eunuch started counting the time, Rong Ruo smelled the tea, looked outside the door, chuckled, and then began to read: "Chunhua Chunyue visits every year, Lian Chun is afraid of Chun's parting."

Everyone looked at him in amazement, even Zixiu, a layman, had to be impressed by him.He felt that Rong Ruo was much more refined than many so-called wits even when he was kneeling and reciting words.

"I'm only worried about Xiaofeng, and I'm urging the flowers to jump on the jade hook." Rong Ruo continued to read, he looked at Zixiu next to him, and said: "Juanjuan and double nymphs, like flying flowers. A song from the bottom of the flower, it hurts the flower. "

After reading the last sentence, it was still a while before the stipulated time. Kangxi thought about the sentence of this poem, and had to admit that it was a good poem.Looking at the handsome and elegant young man, he thought to himself that his reputation as a talented man is not for nothing.

He said: "That's all for now, I hope there won't be a next time, you go first, and don't come into the palace again within a month." Even if he admitted that Nalan Rongruo's words were good, Kangxi still didn't like him very much, he Think, it's definitely not jealousy or anything.

Rong Ruo glanced at Zixiu, not without worry, Zixiu shook his head lightly, signaling him not to worry.Rong Ruo bowed his head to thank him, then walked out step by step.

Kangxi glared at Rong Ruo unhappily, and then said coldly: "Lin Zixiu, the following is your punishment."

The author has something to say: I don’t know what time you like to read the article, but from tomorrow onwards it will become a daily chapter, so I want to ask for your opinions, which will also help everyone read the article.If someone answers, I will set my own time.

"The servant is willing to accept the punishment." Zixiu said flatly, it was a lie to say that he was not worried or afraid, he was just a little imperial cook, even if the emperor didn't kill him, any punishment would be enough for him to suffer for a lifetime.Even so, if he were to choose again, he still wouldn't tell the emperor that the cuttlefish soup was Rong Ruo's mess.

He didn't understand that the emperor's birthday banquet was not destroyed, and the emperor praised the cuttlefish soup he made was delicious, so why did he lose his temper at this time?Does it really matter who spilled the cuttlefish soup?

He didn't know that the biggest reason for Kangxi's temper was that he was protecting Rong Ruo. In fact, Kangxi was purely jealous, but as an emperor, he couldn't say it out, so he vented his anger on a few people.

Kangxi became angry when he saw that he looked like he was being slaughtered. Why is this person so stupid, doesn't he know how to beg for mercy?

Kangxi thought for a long time, and said: "I will fine you a month's salary. Also, today I stood outside the Qianqing Palace and reflected. I didn't expect that I made a mistake and I am not allowed to go back."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone felt strange in their hearts. Zixiu's salary was only a few taels of silver.Was the emperor planning to spy on him himself?

Zixiu kowtowed and said, "The servant obeys the order." He didn't think too much about it, but one thing is for sure, he might not be able to sleep tonight, because he really didn't understand why the emperor was angry.

Not to mention that he didn't understand, maybe even Kangxi himself didn't understand, he didn't really care about cuttlefish soup, and he wasn't sure what he cared about, but seeing those two people together made him feel uncomfortable.He suddenly had an idea: Zixiu is his.

"Hmph, drive back to the palace." Kangxi glanced at Zixiu again, and said, "Still not following?"

Zixiu quickly stood up and followed Kangxi.

Kangxi was so angry that he returned to Qianqing Palace, waved away the crowd, and locked himself in the room.Zixiu stood honestly outside the palace gate, accepting all kinds of strange looks.He is considered a frequent visitor here, all the palaces know that he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, except for Eunuch Liang, he is probably the most favored in this palace.

Seeing him standing here at this time, the little eunuchs couldn't help whispering, guessing what happened.

Eunuch Liang waved all the eunuchs back, looked at Zixiu who wanted to say something, but seemed unable to speak.He walked up and down many times, and finally came to Zixiu.

"Lin Yuchu, you should try to persuade the emperor. It's almost time for Shen Shi, and the emperor hasn't had dinner yet. What if he is starving?" Eunuch Liang looked anxious, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into a "one" "Word.

Zixiu said: "But the emperor asked me to stand here, besides...the emperor is very angry with me."

Eunuch Liang said: "Hey, why don't you go and confess your mistake to the emperor? How could the emperor be so angry with you when he dotes on you so much?"

Zixiu: "No, I haven't figured out why he is angry yet."

Eunuch Liang almost vomited blood, how could there be such a stubborn person in the world?Why is the emperor angry?Isn't it because you lied to him?

Eunuch Liang said: "Just tell the emperor: You will never lie to him again, you will only be for him...just express your sincerity."

Zixiu looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Is this all right? Besides, the emperor seems to favor you, eunuch, after all, you have served the emperor for so long."

"How can our family compare with yours now? Alright, Lin Yuchu, go quickly. As long as you do what I said just now, the emperor will definitely not be angry again. By the way, don't forget to persuade the emperor to eat." Liang Jiugong This self-knowledge is still there, the current Lin Zixiu is a treasure in the eyes of the emperor, and it is a treasure that no one is allowed to touch.

Zixiu thought for a while and said, "Alright then, I'll try, but if it doesn't work..."

"Okay, sure, go quickly."

Zixiu turned his head three times at a step, Liang Jiugong waved his hand with encouragement on his face, Zixiu took a deep breath and stopped looking back at him.He moved to the door and knocked lightly on the palace door, but there was no response from inside.

He knocked again, but there was still no response; Zixiu boldly called out: "Your Majesty?" Kangxi's voice came from inside and said: "When?"

Zixiu thought to himself that he was still inside, so he said, "Your Majesty, my servant... I already know that I made a mistake, so can I come in and talk?"

Kangxi said: "Come in.
