Chapter 518 (2/2)
When Xiao Rong arrived at Yikun palace and saw the table, his face changed.
Today, Mr. Yin Ge sent someone to convey the cabinet's opinion. Because of the disaster in the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River last year, the imperial court first reduced taxes in these two places, and second took out a large amount of money from the Treasury to relieve the disaster.
Moreover, there are two more mausoleums under construction. It is time for the imperial court to spend money. Therefore, Mr. Yin suggested that this year should be the same as last year. We should focus on saving and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Although he was young, he also understood what he said and supported what he did.
But what he didn't expect was that his mother was wasting money here.
Xiao Rong felt a little uncomfortable when he saw those swallows and abalone wings on the table.
Jiang Yi didn't care about it.
She only knew that she didn't have dinner with her son for some days, so she happily took her son and sat down beside her.
After all the dishes were eaten by the special waiter, Jiang Yi took the jinni saucer and brought some dishes to Xiao Rong himself. Just like when he was a child, he took the saucer and prepared to feed it to his son Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong, who had left Jiang Yi for two years, was obviously not used to such intimacy. He avoided the chopsticks that Jiang Yi sent him.
”Mother, please keep your identity!” After all, worried about Jiang Yi's face, Xiao Rong said in a low voice.
Jiang Yi's face changed at first, but then she thought Xiao Rong was right.
Now the identities of her and her son have changed, and some things can't be done.
So, Jiang Shan stopped, put the golden clay dish in front of Xiao Rong and said, ”then you have a taste. I specially asked mother Qin to go to the imperial dining room to teach those imperial chefs to cook according to your favorite taste when you were a child.”
Xiao Rong first put on his noodles, then picked up his chopsticks, took a small piece, tasted it, and never took a second bite.
Next, no matter what kind of food Jiang Jian brought, Xiao Rong just tasted it.
”What's the matter? Isn't it all to your taste? ” Finally feeling something wrong, Jiang Yu frowned and said, ”I remember these are all your favorite foods... If you don't like them, let's let the imperial dining room cook other dishes!”
With that, she was ready to send a message.
Xiao Rong is cold little face sitting there, look even smellier than before.
”What's the matter with you?” Thinking that Xiao Rong had never put on such an appearance in front of him, Jiang Yi also became a little unhappy.
”Mother Princess!” Xiao Rong didn't want to be angry with his mother, so he said to Jiang Yi, ”do you know that the Treasury is empty now, but you have used more than 100 dishes for a dinner. Don't you think it's a waste?”
”Waste? How could it be? ” Jiang Yi also looked at the dining table in front of him. ”You don't know that your grandfather's favorite concubine Cui Guifei has so many dishes almost every day, and I only put one on the table once in a while!”
In the past, when she was in the prince's mansion, she would occasionally come into the palace to serve. When Princess Cui is in a good mood, she sometimes leaves them for dinner.
At that time, she did not remember what dishes she had eaten. The only thing she remembered was the glittering gold wire enamel bowls and dishes, as well as the shocking scenes that covered the table.
This is also the reason why she only wants to climb up all these years.
Because Jiang Yi knew that only when he was above the others, he could have a good life without any scruples.
However, now it's not easy to come to this day, and she hasn't done much
Enjoy it, her own son and even to sing their own antipoint!
In Jiang Yi's heart, he was somewhat unhappy.
”Are those old men in the cabinet talking to you?” Before the good mood disappeared, Jiang Jian simply put aside the dishes and chopsticks with his son Xiao Rong theory.
