Chapter 569 The villain is the queen (86)
At the end of the morning court, the eunuch in charge of the chamberlain supported Hu Zhen and walked towards the imperial dining room.
"Your Majesty, we are preparing squab soup and delicious side dishes this morning."
Hu Zhen nodded slightly and followed the eunuch towards the imperial kitchen. When he reached the door, the man paused slightly.
"Pass on my instructions, breakfast will be served in the Yangxin Hall from now on."
When the eunuch heard this, he nodded quickly.
"Yes, I know."
Your Majesty seems to be a little different today than in the past. Although the Imperial Dining Room is not a place to eat, His Majesty once said that eating only needs to be simple. The prepared meals are laid out in the Imperial Dining Room. You can come directly after the court, which saves money. A lot of time.
Not only did he no longer want to eat in the imperial dining room, but he also ate much faster and ate much larger portions.
In the past, there was only a bowl of gruel and a stack of pastries, but today most of the dishes on the table were almost eaten.
Watching all this, the eunuch in the chamber murmured silently in his heart, without showing anything on his face, and continued to serve beside him quietly as before.
After breakfast, His Majesty did not go directly to the Nourishing Heart Hall as usual, but turned around halfway and headed towards the Imperial Study Room.
The imperial study is closer to the harem, but not as quiet as the Yangxin Hall. His Majesty seldom goes there. I am afraid he has important matters to discuss with the adults in the court today.
In the imperial study room, there are several high stacks of memorials. At a glance, there are hundreds of them.
So many memorials were only for one day. The emperor not only had to read them in one day, but also had to annotate them and return them on the same day.
A cup of fragrant tea, the incense burner curls, the room is warm and quiet, and the eunuchs in the chamber quietly stand by and wait, ready to grind for His Majesty at any time. This state usually lasts all day, and sometimes His Majesty even forgets to eat. This also requires timely reminders from the eunuch. After all, the dragon body is precious and there must be no mistakes.
Hu Zhen read one book after another and found that the affairs of the entire country, from big to small, were extremely complicated. At first, he could think carefully about the dozens of large books and annotate them. But when he raised his head again, his back ached and he looked at the rest of the books around him. When the memorial was handed down, Hu Zhen took a deep breath and asked. "What time is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, we just arrived at Si hour (nine o'clock)."
"Sishi..."
He obviously felt that a long time had passed, but why had it just arrived? There was still an hour before lunch.
The memorials around him didn't seem to be getting any less. If he kept annotating them at this rate, he wouldn't be able to finish the entire day without eating or drinking.
As a result, for the whole day, except for going to the morning, eating, and going to the toilet, the rest of the time had to be stayed in the imperial study room and was not allowed to leave for a moment.
Now that we are in the prosperous times, the competition between merchants in the capital for shops still needs to be reported? These officials were so full that they had nothing to do. If the emperor had to deal with all this, what else would they do?
No wonder Hu Jun has always been in poor health. He has to worry about all the trivial matters in the world every day. It would be strange not to get sick.
My heart became more and more dull, and the warm environment became drier.
Hu Zhen frowned and casually wrote two words on the memorial in front of him.
"Read."
I took out another book and opened it. It was a booklet by the Minister of Tobe. It was so densely packed with words that it made my head hurt just to look at it.
After closing the fold, Hu Jun lowered his head, stretched out his hand to gently press his head, and asked in a deep voice.
"Where is Concubine Liang?"
The eunuch at the chamberlain was slightly startled, not knowing what His Majesty meant.
