Looking at the nervous expression on Luo Qingyan's face, Yun Shang smiled and said softly, "Don't do this again. Irregular diet will do great harm to your body. You are suffering from indigestion. If you get sick because of it, is it worth it?
How long will the accounts be finished checking?"
Seeing that Yun Shang looked as gentle as usual, Luo Qingyan felt a little relieved, "I'm afraid it will take about three days."
Yun Shang nodded, "Then in the next three days, let the the imperial kitchen send the food directly to the Meeting Hall. Ask the the imperial kitchen to prepare more food so that you and the courtiers can eat together. The the imperial kitchen is able to make more food for all these people."
"Ah..." Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up, "Yes, your majesty."
"The officials at present today are in their old ages, so we can't let them starve like this." Yun Shang thought for a while and went on, "I'll order them to arrange the meals in the Meeting Hall for the next three days."
"Okay." Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and praised, "You are so kind."
Yun Shang smiled and lowered her head.
Luo Qingyan thought of another thing and asked, "How was your trip today?"
"Everything went well. I went to see Qian Yin. Her child new-born baby is very good-looking. He was born with more than six pounds. He is a fat boy.
Then I went to see the leader of the secret guards and inquired about the situation of the Cao clan.
After leaving Qian Yin's place, I went to the Hua mansion. I informed Grandma that we have chosen the Grand Tutor and asked her if she would like to send Yan'er to the palace to accompany Chengye. "
Luo Qingyan nodded and then asked, "What did Grandma say?"
"Grandma said that she would ask about Yilan's opinion first. But I can see that Grandma is willing to do that. "
This was not beyond Luo Qingyan's expectation. He pointed out, "She should be willing to accept our idea. If they want the Hua clan to establish a firm foothold in the Jin City, then Hua Qingyan must enter the palace."
Then Luo Qingyan smiled and continued, "But it's not enough for Chengye to have only one companion. I'll select two or three more people to keep his good company. Do you have any other candidates?"
Yun Shang knocked on the table with her fingers and said, "I heard you say before that Tan Qian has a child with the same age as Chengye?"
"Yes, right." Hearing Yun Shang's words, Luo Qingyan smiled, "Do you want to let Tan Qian's child enter the palace?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Although I admit that Tan Qian is quite talented, I can't fully trust him with all my heart as he has not been an official for long.
To let Tan Qian's child stay by the side of Chengye, we can achieve two goals. One is toget a companion for Chengye; and the other is to keep the child as a hostage and live in the palace every day. When Tan Qian comes to teach every day, he can see that his child is living well in the palace, and he also knows that as long as he behaves well, his child will be fine."
Hearing that, Luo Qingyan smiled, "Aren't you afraid that Tan Qian will take the opportunity to order his own child to do something bad to Chengye?"
"Although they are accompanying students, they won't live together. And the child is only two years old, and he is still ignorant. Although Tan Qian is his father, he doesn't spend too much time with his father and won't have too much family affection. After a long time, Tan Qian may not be able to order his child.
What's more, if it's so easy to be calculated by a child, what are the people around Chengye doing?"
Luo Qingyan nodded with a smile, "Yes, what the Empress said is reasonable."
Yun Shang glanced at Luo Qingyan and said, "As long as Tan Qian is not stupid, he won't do anything harmful to Chengye.
Yun Shang smiled more brightly, "Really so?"
Luo Qingyan smiled awkwardly and took Yun Shang to the table.
On the second day, Luo Qingyan was still working in the Meeting Hall with the courtiers to check the account books of the national treasury. When it was time for lunch, Liu Wenan walked in quickly from the outside, "Your Majesty, her majesty has sent someone to bring the lunch here. She said that she would let your majesty and other ministers have a rest and it won't be late to have lunch first. Her majesty also said that checking the accounts is indeed very urgent, but health is more important. "
Hearing this, all the courtiers raised their heads and looked at Luo Qingyan behind the imperial case.
Luo Qingyan smiled, "Oh, this is the Empress! I've told her not to send food here, but she insisted. She said she was worried about my indigestion...
All right then. Now that the food has been sent here, let's have a rest and eat something. Get everything ready."
Liu Wenan nodded with a smile and waved his hand. Then servants came in one after another.
Liu Wenan looked at the people in the hall with a smile and said, "Her majesty let me ask whose minister's wife does not allow him to eat meat? Her majesty specially asked the the imperial kitchen to prepare a full vegetarian banquet for him. "
An old official in the hall raised his hand and said, "It's me."
The food case was sent to the old man's table.
Liu Wenan asked again, "Who is that lord whose wife does not allow him to eat cakes?
And who is the lord whose wife told him not to eat over salty food?"
