Chapter 194: New Things I've Never Seen Before
The imperial study room at night was still as bright as daytime. The eunuch in the eunuch raised his waist and handed over tea and snacks, and then quietly retreated.
"It's late tonight." Zhuang Yan said lightly without warning.
Ju Tong hurriedly presented the note given by Yao Si, "Miss Yao did not name the reason, so his subordinates asked her a few more questions."
Zhuang Yan opened the note and took a look, then put the note into the hand stove next to him. A small tuft of flames ignited, and after a moment, he returned to calm again.
Ju Tong said Yao Si's words more importantly.
Zhuang Yan nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you have gained a lot in this trip."
Jutong had never heard of his master's temper. His words were neither light nor heavy. It was obviously just a simple sentence, but he felt that what the master said was profound. He was anxious for a moment and hurriedly reported the other things he had not said.
"When I was leaving, Miss Yao was having supper."
"so?"
Jutong was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and took out the sweet potato wrapped in rags from his arms. The roasted sweet potatoes were fragrant and the sweet smell soon dissipated.
He held the sweet potato and said uneasy: "I was greedy for a moment and brought two back."
There was a silence in the hall. The ju Tong stared at his feet, feeling a sharp look in front of him. He hurriedly presented the sweet potato to Zhuang Yan and put it down: "Damn it, subordinate."
Zhuang Yan smiled: "What are you doing so nervous? I didn't say a word."
Jutong couldn't help but complain in his heart. You didn't say a word, but it was better than saying tens of millions of words. He said respectfully: "The subordinates consciously behave inappropriately, but they rely on their master to deal with it."
Zhuang Yan seemed helpless and knocked the pen on the desk. The boy understood the truth, "If the master did not give him any orders, his subordinates would surrender."
"Go."
"Yes." Jutong received the instructions and immediately jumped onto the beam of the room and rushed out of the skylight.
Zhuang Yan stared at the sweet potato for a while before muttering curiously: "What is this thing? It smells quite fragrant."
The eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "If you go back to the emperor, this is a way of eating among the people, roasting sweet potatoes."
"Why haven't you seen it in the palace?" Zhuang Yan looked at him in confusion.
The eunuch hurriedly explained: "This is food for the poor. Your Majesty, you are the true dragon emperor, so naturally you have never seen this kind of food."
Zhuang Yan's face suddenly turned cold: "I am the emperor. If I cannot be sympathetic to the people, how can I manage this huge country and make my people love me and present it to me. Today, I want to see what is the poor who can't afford to eat."
The eunuch realized that he had said the wrong thing and said in panic: "I deserve to die, the emperor will atone for his sins." As he said that, he handed the sweet potato to Zhuang Yan, and was about to reveal it, but Zhuang Yan reached out and stopped him: "I will do it myself."
The eunuch said, standing still.
Zhuang Yan uncovered the cloth outside, but when he saw the baked sweet potatoes with black and burnt surface inside, his face was stunned. This seemed a little different from what he thought.
He looked at the two inconspicuous people in front of him with uncertainty, and after a long time he said sadly: "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The eunuch whispered, "Master, let me peel off your skin for you."
Zhuang Yan coughed lightly and nodded.
Liu De took a sweet potato and peeled off the skin outside, revealing the golden flesh inside. The sweet sweet potato smell and heat came over. He swallowed and sighed in his heart, but he hadn't eaten it for many years.
Zhuang Yan also smelled the fragrance and took the peeled sweet potato novelly, and smiled and said, "This roasted sweet potato is really eye-opening."
Liu De smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you will know that the taste is wonderful. Although it is a food that is filled with the poor, it is as delicious as some delicacies. I have eaten it as a child. After entering the palace, I have never seen it again."
Zhuang Yan took a few bites, and his face was full of unconcealed surprise. He nodded, "This taste is indeed not inferior to the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen. No wonder she loves eating so much."
Liu De pretended to be deaf and mute at the right time, smiled and retreated to the side.
Zhuang Yan took a few bites, put them down, and handed another sweet potato to Liu De.
Liu De was surprised and happy, holding it in both hands, and excitedly thanked him: "I thank you for the reward."
Zhuang Yan waved his hand, looked at the remaining half of the sweet potato, and his face condensed, and said lightly: "Please take away the things."
Liu De heard the changes in Zhuang Yan's emotions. He could not hide his happiness the moment before, but the next moment he was worried.
He remembered that when Zhuang Yan was a child, he was also a very cute child.
Zhuang Yan was made the crown prince at the age of five. Liu De was originally the eunuch of the late emperor, so he was assigned to Zhuang Yan after that. It can be said that he grew up watching Zhuang Yan.
In just twelve years, the late emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne. The government in the court was controlled by the auxiliary and the Taiwei, and the young prince became the puppet emperor among the people.
In fact, the emperor's heart has never been relaxed since the moment he ascended the throne.
Liu De stepped forward to take away the sweet potatoes, handed them to the eunuch standing at the side, and returned to Zhuang Yan, "Your Majesty, it's almost the New Year, and the palace is very lively now."
Zhuang Yan was silent for a while before saying, "It's good to go and have a look."
Liu De said happily. The little eunuch had already presented the fox fur. Liu De took it and put it on Zhuang Yan. He took the lantern from the little eunuch and hugged his waist to lead the way in front.
As the end of the year approaches, it is not just the palace. The world outside the palace will only be more lively than inside the palace.
Yangshan Academy ushered in a holiday day today. The students were so happy that they got up earlier than usual and took the children and went down the mountain with their children in groups of laughter.
Fumimi felt very itchy. He listened to the voices calling friends outside the door, and wanted to go out. He could imagine the juggling, opera, antiques, and everything he had on the street, but----
"Young Master, aren't you going to go down the mountain?" Although the answer in my heart was yes, Fujian didn't give up and wanted to ask again.
Xin Xiran held her cheeks and turned the lid of the teacup boredly.
"Young Master?" Fushimi shouted again.
"If you don't go, you won't go. Sister Yao is still thinking about passing the door and closing. I have no intention to play." Xin Xiran said angrily.
But you can't lose your direction all day for the sake of Miss Yao. Fumimi added to her heart.
He has seen clearly in the past few days, and Miss Yao is missing. His young master is like he has no soul. He has no energy to do anything and has no appetite for anything. He either sighs or sighs all day long, looking like a little resentful woman.
But he didn't dare to say this clearly, but just said implicitly: "Young master, it will take several days for Miss Yao to come out. You see, you have lost weight, so wouldn't it hurt to ask Miss Yao to come out and see?"
Xin Xiran's eyes lit up: "Sister Yao really wants to feel sorry for me?"
Fumimi smiled awkwardly: "Of course, you can do it. You are handsome and handsome, and few girls don't feel sorry for you."
