I am ashamed, I thank the Lord for his great kindness.”Zhu Pingan bent down and pouted as he bowed to Emperor Jiajing.
“Ashamed, ashamed ……How come I don’t see where you are ashamed.”Jiajing Emperor swept a glance at Zhu Pingan and cursed again with a laugh, “Alright, get up, lie down there and get in the way ……”
“I thank the Lord for his great kindness.”
Zhu Pingan once again bowed his thanks before getting up, a look of gratitude on his face.
“Yellow companion, and let people send this kid’s poorly written work to Tao Shi quickly, don’t miss Jian Yuan Yue time.”Jiajing Emperor turned his head and softly instructed Huang Jin.
“Servant obeys the decree.”Huang Jin nodded his head in response and walked over to Zhu Pingan, folded the couplet that Zhu Pingan had just written and handed it over to a small eunuch, commanded a few words in his ear and then patted his shoulder.
The little eunuch took the couplet, lowered his head, bent over and backed out of the inner hall.
“Tell me, you came from Taicang to seek an audience with me, what is the reason for this?”Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair, a wave of his sleeve, half of his Taoist robe resting on the dragon chair, his body leaning back, looking at Zhu Pingan faintly asked.
“I ……”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and replied, only after saying one word, his stomach uncontrollably let out a “Gu Gu~~Gu Gu~~”…..
Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu ……
There were not many people in the inner temple, especially the Jiajing Emperor sat in the town, the inner temple is quiet a pillow hair fall on the ground can be heard, so at this moment Zhu Pingan tummy cooing sound, in the temple must be clear.
Gu Gu, Gu Gu ……
The unique structure of the inner temple, making the sound of the stomach growling and echoing it.
Crap.
At that time, Zhu Ping An’s face was green, how this stomach does not compete, did not feel how hungry, how to scream up.
The gentleman before the disrespectful bar this is?
This kind of thing to say big, to say small, if on the line is not impossible, although Jiajing Emperor certainly will not, but Zhu Pingan also feel embarrassed not, the face was green, hot and dry.
For Zhu Pingan embarrassed cooing sound, but in Huang Jin heard, but it is no less than immortal music. Jiajing Emperor has been a day without water, Huang Jin is worried about how to let Jiajing Emperor into the meal, and now heard the sound of Zhu Pingan’s stomach call, Huang Jin face can not help but reveal a smile.
This sound of Zhu Pingan’s stomach growling, in Huang Jin’s ears, is exactly dozing off to send a pillow – just in time.
“Heh heh heh, Your Majesty, listen, the scholar’s stomach is a revolt, I’m afraid that if I don’t appease the scholar’s stomach, I’m afraid that the first scholar to be starved to death in our Ming Dynasty will appear.”Huang Jin laughed and suggested to Jiajing Emperor.
“I am out of order ……”
Listening to Huang Jin’s flirting, Zhu Pingan had an embarrassed face, this moment really had the idea of hanging himself.
“Hehe ……I can’t be scolded as a dim king.”Jiajing Emperor laughed and shook his head, then instructed Huang Jin to say, “Order the meal to be passed around, and also add a seat for my hungry minister, just have your meal here. And the ministers outside, have the Imperial Catering Room do them all together as well.”
Soon
Ministers waiting in the outer hall, heard the small eunuch in the inner hall pinch his throat and shouted out “His Majesty has a decree, pass the meal”, and then one after another by the waiting small eunuchs then shouted to pass the meal.
What’s going on?
How come the meal was summoned?
How come Zhu Ping An wasn’t chastised, but passed the meal? Is there a mistake?
Outside the hall waiting Yan Maoqing heard dumbfounded, feel as if seeing the sun out of the west like, completely messed up, this is not the same as what he thought, are some doubt life.
The imperial kitchen dinner has long been done, with a small fire simmering, this side just shouted to pass the meal, there will soon be dozens of small eunuchs dressed neatly and clean in two teams, sleeves on the sleeve set of white sleeves, carrying the size of the seven meal table, holding dozens of gilt food boxes and lacquer discs, from the outside walked in, neatly and orderly, noiselessly and noiselessly, one is like an expert in the big inside like, walking are not with the sound.
Dozens of small eunuchs neatly into the inner hall, hands holding the food box, kneeling on the side of the table in front of Jiajing Emperor.
Jiajing emperor one day drip, so Huang Jin specially ordered down, today passed the dinner than usual to be much more sumptuous, the whole sent sixty-six mountain delicacies, hot dishes thirty-six, cold dishes sixteen, the rest are pastries, snacks, fruits.
“Set up the meal!”Huang Jin shouted.
The little eunuchs with white sleeves opened the food boxes one by one and placed a plate of delicacies on the table.
A portion of aromatic and delicious food was presented, and each portion was placed on the table in front of Emperor Jiajing.
There was a silver plate on every dish and plate, this was in case there was poison in the dish.
While the little eunuchs were arranging the meal for Emperor Jia Jing, Zhu Ping An knelt in front of a few cases which were empty.
In fact, Zhu Pingan did not want to look at it, but the fragrance of this imperial meal was too much, and he was really hungry, so when the little eunuch passed the meal, Zhu Pingan just raised his head and looked at it for a few moments.
Spicy live rabbit, live shrimp under the ice, explosive scorching lamb belly, goose gizzard palm, willow steam fried save fish, asparagus old duck soup, silverfish feet bird ……There are also many other food that can’t be named, but look extraordinarily appetising, it’s really a wide array of food, and my eyes are blown away.
And then even hungrier.
Gu Gu ……
The aroma drilled straight inside his nostrils, causing Zhu Pingan’s stomach to growl again without a fight.
“Out of breath …….No need to remind me, go, even a few dishes over to him, save me from falling into the curse of starving subjects again.”Jiajing Emperor swept a glance at Zhu Pingan, cursed with a laugh, waved his hand, let the eunuch who set out the meal to Zhu Pingan.
“Minister, thank you Lord Long En.”Zhu Pingan bowed his thanks.
Soon, Zhu Pingan’s table was set with a dozen dishes, eight meat, three veggies, one soup and a plate of pastries and two plates of fruits.
This is also too sumptuous, right, just now the saint did not say even a few dishes, this is a dozen, right?
Zhu Pingan was slightly surprised, looking up, he saw Huang Jin who was serving beside Emperor Jiajing, smiling kindly at himself, the appreciation in his smile overflowing.
“Scholar Lang is a great contributor today, you must take good care of him.”Huang Jin smiled kindly at Zhu Pingan, and then lowered his head to whisper instructions to the small eunuchs around him.
For Zhu Ping An who can speak lips, Huang Jin’s whispers could not be clearer.
After setting up the meal, Huang Jin also cupped his voice and shouted “hit the bowl cover”.
So, the set of white sleeves of the small eunuchs to the dishes on the silver cover removed, each dish has a small eunuch is responsible for tasting the dishes, which is also to prevent the dishes in the poison, and so on the small eunuchs to taste the meal after two or three minutes, to confirm that there is no harm, Huang Jin only to Jiajing Emperor bowed down in front of the body said: “meal all together, please the Holy Spirit with meals.”
After this, the meal was finally ready.
Jiajing emperor sat down, did not speak, took the eye to the table looked at, Huang Jin eye power pure fire, soon will be accurate to the Jiajing emperor to look at the dish moved to the front of the Jiajing emperor, the Jiajing emperor stretched out his chopsticks to clip up and eat a mouthful.
Finally wait for you ……
This moment, Zhu Pingan waited for a long time.
The emperor does not eat the first mouth, their own this do the subject of where dare to eat ah, just passed the meal set meal taste meal ……The dishes are almost waiting for the cold, finally waited until Jiajing Emperor started. After Jiajing Emperor moved the first chopsticks, Zhu Pingan also picked up chopsticks to deal with the food in front of him.
Eating without saying a word, sleeping without saying a word, moving in a civilised manner, the cutlery and dishes did not make a sound, these Zhu Pingan did, but with a fast frequency and efficiency.
Eat up, Zhu Pingan fell into the food, reached the realm of oblivion, soon, Zhu Pingan in front of a stack of asparagus deer tendon bottomed out ……
Jiajing Emperor only ate a few mouthfuls, looked up, Zhu Pingan in front of the two plates are bottomed out, Jiajing Emperor holding chopsticks hand, are flabbergasted for a moment……
And then look at Zhu Pingan, look at him eating that call a devotion, feast, the corner of the mouth also flowed a little oil, did not look at the handkerchief to accurately wipe off the corner of the mouth oil, the right hand seamlessly put a piece of slippery venison into the mouth, seem to be able to see the meat was torn teeth popped open a moment ……
How to see this kid eat so fragrant, they seem to have a big appetite, can not help but Jiajing Emperor also appetite, eat a lot more.
Your Majesty has used an extra bowl of rice ……
Huang Jin, who was serving at the side, was so happy that his tears were almost coming out, my Scholar Lang na, you can really make a great achievement today, he has been serving beside Emperor Jiajing, naturally he knew what was going on, and the appreciation in his eyes was even more intense when he looked at Zhu Pingan.
He was even thinking that he would like to promote Zhu Pingan more in the future, take care of Zhu Pingan more, and put in a good word in front of His Majesty.
In the future, if the saint has a poor appetite, Zhu Pingan will be declared to have a meal, than what panacea is useful.
