Chapter 547 (1/2)
547 The mastermind behind the scenes that surfaced (big chapter) _1
Wang zhenwen was the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Library, so it was only natural that the Imperial Library became the direct office of the Grand Secretary and other officials.
In the hall, the white-haired Wang zhenwen, who was dressed in a red robe, was working at his desk. The other civil officials were busy with their own tasks. Occasionally, there would be soft discussions, but overall, it was quiet and harmonious.
When they met with a disagreement, the Civil officials would go to the side hall and have a big quarrel to determine the winner. However, when scholars quarreled, usually no one could convince the other.
In the end, the higher-ups would have to make a decision.
“Lord first assistant, miss simu is here and she wants to see you.” An official on duty outside the door entered quietly and spoke in a low voice.
Chief advisor Wang’s Pen paused, and the ink suddenly split on the paper and turned into a ball of ink.
How did she enter the palace … What was she doing in the inner Pavilion … Two doubts appeared in chief advisor Wang’s mind.
The Wenyuan Pavilion was on the east side of the palace, but it was not within the palace’s high walls. However, in the plan, it belonged to the palace. It was heavily guarded outside, and unauthorized people could not enter.
The daughter of the chief advisor was also among the “miscellaneous people.”
“Disappeared … Let her in through the back door, I’ll wait for her in the side hall.” Wang shoufu put down his brush, put one hand behind his back and the other on his abdomen, and left the inner hall calmly to the side hall.
After waiting in the side hall for a few minutes, the quiet and generous Wang simu came in with a lunchbox. She placed it gently on the table and called out sweetly, “”Father!”
With a straight face, Wang shoufu grunted and said unhappily, “”Didn’t you go on a lake tour with your close friends? what are you doing in the inner Pavilion? who brought you into the palace?”
Wang si mu smiled and unhurriedly opened the lunchbox, holding out a bowl of fresh and fragrant fish soup. His voice was soft and gentle.
“When we were swimming in the lake, daughter saw that the carp in the lake were fat and beautiful, so she let people catch a few. He took it back to the manor when it was at its most alive and personally made fish soup for his father.
“Father is busy with work, you should take care of your health and drink more nourishing soup.”
Chief advisor Wang’s face turned gentle. He sniffed the delicious aroma and took a small sip. He immediately showed a look of enjoyment and praised, ”
“The fish soup is mixed with chicken essence. It’s really a delicacy. The Imperial astronomer developing this is a great blessing to the people.”
After the eunuch SI’s chicken essence entered the market, it immediately gained the pursuit of all social classes. Today, the high officials and wealthy families in the capital, as well as the merchants and wealthy families, could not eat without chicken essence.
The commoners would occasionally splatter some of it into their dishes to enhance the taste.
It had been many years since Wang zhenwen had seen the Directorate of Celestials develop something so good.
