Chapter 25: Thunderbolt 1
"Don't be formal, just sit down and sit down with me. "In the antique and luxuriously furnished imperial study, Liang Ruming, who was wearing a crown of heaven, wearing a robe, and stepping on a golden silk embroidered dragon's head, sat down at the round pear blossom wooden table with twenty dishes in the outer hall, and saw that Leng Qing was still standing at the table with her hands bowed, so she smiled so softly.www.biquge.info
After Liang Ruming finished speaking, Leng Qing was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was half a beat slower, and when Leng Qing reacted, Zhang Xuanfu, who was standing behind Liang Ruming, was already reminding in a whisper: "Girl, don't thank you soon!"
So, Leng Qing followed Zhang Xuanfu's reminder, raised her hands and wanted to bow to Liang Ruming. However, before Leng Qing could salute, Liang Ruming, who was smiling with his eyebrows, spit out a sentence indifferently: "You don't have to be so polite, sit down." ”
After receiving Liang Ruming's forgiveness, Leng Qing was also happy to salute without that matter, and answered "yes" and walked two steps forward to the table, and sat down on the round stool two seats away from Liang Ruming.
After Leng Qing sat down, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the main seat at the table, raised his hand and pointed to a white jade plate placed in front of Leng Qing, and there was a pear, which was a little strange in color, but Liang Ruming said with a smile on his eyebrows: "This is a honey stewed pear made of honey from the South China Sea, which has the purpose of reducing inflammation." ”
Hearing this, Leng Qing lowered her eyes and glanced at the somewhat strangely colored Sydney pear in front of her, and found that the Sydney pear was cooked.
"Xuanfu. Just when Leng Qing lowered her eyes and looked at the pear, Liang Ruming suddenly called Zhang Xuanfu.
Zhang Xuanfu, who was standing behind Liang Ruming, heard the sound, and immediately stepped forward to Liang Ruming's side, no need for Liang Ruming to say anything, just glanced at Liang Ruming's face, Zhang Xuanfu immediately understood what Liang Ruming meant-
I saw Zhang Xuanfu, who was smiling like Maitreya Buddha with his eyebrows and eyes, walked to Leng Qing's side in three steps and two steps, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he twisted the pedicle of the Sydney pear on the white jade plate in front of Leng Qing.
It wasn't until this time that Leng Qing found out that the Sydney pear was cut horizontally at three-quarters of the height, and the quarter part with the pedicle was used as a pear cover (at this moment, the pear cover was screwed in Zhang Xuanfu's hand), and the inside of Sydney was hollowed out and made into a jar, containing a "jar" full of honey!
At that time, but Liang Ruming smiled warmly at Leng Qing and said: "I heard that you have an injury on your body, and the imperial doctor said that this honey stewed pear can be used as a dessert or anti-inflammatory, so I asked the imperial dining room to make one." ”
Liang Ruming's words were casual and natural, but Leng Qing listened to it, but her heart beat wildly: Liang Ruming even knew about her injury!!! What else does Liang Ruming know?!!
The next moment this thought crossed her mind, Leng Qing, who was sitting on the round bench separated from Liang Ruming by two seats, forcibly suppressed the shock surging in her heart, and thanked her calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Let's see what it tastes like. Leng Qing thanked her, and Liang Ruming said with a gentle smile.
"Yes. Responding so kindly, Leng Qing reached out and picked up a white jade spoon in front of her, scooped the honey in the belly of the honey stewed pear and sent it to her mouth......
Swallowing the spoon of honey in his mouth, putting down the spoon, Leng Qing kept her lips and looked at Liang Ruming with a smile, and said with a light smile: "Very good." "It's just sweet and a little greasy...... Leng Qing naturally wouldn't say this sentence.
At that time, Liang Ruming didn't doubt it when he heard this, he nodded and smiled warmly: "That's good." I heard that when you lived in the Prince's Mansion before, you were often summoned by the Crown Princess to dinner, and you were quite fond of sweets. I thought, this honey pear should be to your liking. Most of today's dishes are sweets, so I wonder if you like them?"
Following Liang Ruming's words, Leng Qing lowered her eyes and glanced at the twenty dishes on the round pear blossom wooden table in front of her, and for a while Leng Qing only felt a wave of stomach acid in her stomach: honey yam, sweet potato, red bean horseshoe cake, crystal osmanthus cake...... All sweets, this is the rhythm of the sweet death...... Can you eat well?
“…… The folk girl likes it very much, and the emperor has a heart. Suppressing the true thoughts in his heart, he looked at Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the main seat at the table, and said flattery against his heart without changing his face.
Listening to Leng Qing's words, Liang Ruming naturally responded with a smile: "It's good if you like it, and it's not in vain that I specially ordered the imperial dining room to make these dishes." The voice changed, but Liang Ruming smiled again: "I have never liked sweets, I have never eaten sweets like this honey stewed pear, and I never know what such sweets taste, and today I want to make an exception to taste them." ”
As soon as she heard Liang Ruming's words, Leng Qing really endured and endured it before she couldn't hold back the desire to cry without tears in her heart: although she likes sweets, she is not as sweet as her life!! If she eats so many sweets, she will vomit and vomit!!Your Majesty, your old man doesn't care about what she likes to eat at all, isn't it good to follow your old man's own preferences according to the emperor's own preferences?!!
Leng Qing's inner call could not be conveyed in Liang Ruming's heart, on the contrary, Liang Ruming also smiled and raised his finger to the table of dishes (desserts) in front of him and Leng Qing and said to Leng Qing: "This table of dishes, you see which ones you like, if you like them, let Xuanfu take them to you, so that it is convenient for you to eat." ”
Silently glancing at the plates of sweet and sour tenderloin, pine nut corn, fish-flavored eggplant, and sweet and sour chops placed in front of her, Leng Qing did not hesitate to reject Liang Ruming's "kindness": "Don't bother, it's good like this......" Anyway, these dishes are all meaty, they won't be particularly sweet, and they can still be eaten!"
However, Liang Ruming didn't seem to be satisfied with Leng Qing's refusal, because Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the main seat at the table, immediately frowned slightly and said, "You are so restrained in the prince's mansion?"
“…… The folk girl has always been like this. After a moment of silence, Leng Qing replied in a low voice.
At that time, Liang Ruming looked at Leng Qing with a smile, and said with a smile: "But how did I hear that when you dined with the crown princess, you were never polite?"
"......" looked at Liang Ruming silently, Leng Qing only felt that Liang Ruming was trying to force her to death......
I don't know if he noticed Leng Qing's mood swings, Liang Ruming suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled warmly: "Relax, you should have a light meal with this old man, don't care about those red tapes." ”
"Yes, the folk girl obeys. There was no need to think at all, a submissive word had already been spit out of Leng Qing's mouth without hesitation, which was Leng Qing's subconscious reaction.
So, at that time, I heard Liang Ruming sigh helplessly: "You, ......" for a while, but Liang Ruming said helplessly: "That's it, let's eat......"
Just as Liang Ruming finished saying this sigh, a voice suddenly came from outside the imperial study: "Xia Chan, the slave maid of Qinghua Palace, asks to see the emperor." It was a crisp female voice.
This sentence was transmitted into the imperial study, and without Liang Ruming's instructions, Zhang Xuanfu took the initiative to walk outside the imperial study.
The closed door of the palace opened and closed, and it was Zhang Xuanfu who walked out of the imperial study. Not long after, Zhang Xuanfu pushed open the door of the palace and entered the imperial study, and turned around and closed the door of the palace again, never allowing people outside the hall to have the opportunity to see the situation in the palace.
After entering the hall, closing the door of the hall, and returning to Liang Ruming's side, Zhang Xuanfu, who was bowing down his waist, said so respectfully to Liang Ruming, who was eating: "Your Majesty, it is Xia Chan, the palace maid who is waiting by the queen's mother's side, is here." Xia Chan said that the queen mother set up a meal in Qinghua Palace, and the queen mother also cooked a cup of ginseng soup herself, and asked the emperor if she used the meal, if it was useless, the queen wanted to ask the emperor to move to Qinghua Palace for dinner. ”
At that time, what answered Zhang Xuanfu was a sentence that Liang Ruming spit out without being salty or light: "Didn't you see me eating?"
Although he understood Liang Ruming's meaning in an instant, Zhang Xuanfu still asked with a smile: "Then ...... the queen's mother?"
"Tell the queen that I am in good health, so I won't drink the ginseng soup, let her keep it for herself. Without waiting for Zhang Xuanfu to finish asking, Liang Ruming interrupted Zhang Xuanfu with this sentence that was not salty or light.
So, Zhang Xuanfu was ordered to retire from the good ground: "Yes, the subordinate will go and tell the truth." ”
"Xuanfu, after you go out, just guard outside the hall and don't let anyone disturb you. I want to eat quietly. When Zhang Xuanfu stepped back, Liang Ruming suddenly commanded so lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Zhang Xuanfu naturally responded respectfully, and then continued to retreat......
As the closed door of the imperial study opened and closed, from this moment on, until Liang Ruming and Leng Qing finished eating, Zhang Xuanfu did not enter the imperial study again, and as for others, it was even more not.
After lunch, Liang Ruming recruited Zhang Xuanfu into the hall to clean up the table full of leftovers, and Liang Ruming himself and Leng Qing entered the inner hall of the imperial study.
"I heard that your brother-in-law has a fellow disciple named Lin Xiaoyang?" After returning to the inner hall, Liang Ruming sat back on the golden carved dragon throne in the hall, and Liang Ruming asked with a smile.
At this moment, Leng Qing, who had just sat down on the pear blossom wood Taishi chair at the bottom right of the throne, heard this, and immediately stiffened, and there was only one thought in his heart: How did Liang Ruming know the relationship between Zhu Zimo and Lin Xiaoyang??!
When Leng Qing was silent, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne, smiled slowly: "I guess, you must be thinking about how I would know this now...... Right?"
"The emperor is the king of this beam, and the entire beam is the emperor, and the emperor will know it, and it should be. At this time, Leng Qing, who had recovered from the shock, did not answer Liang Ruming's question directly, and only threw out these words that showed flattery.
At that time, Liang Ruming didn't pierce Leng Qing's perfunctory treatment of him, and only smiled warmly at Leng Qing's sycophancy: "That's true, if I don't know, it's strange, isn't it?"
"Yes......" replied to Liang Ruming, and it was Leng Qing's voice that echoed in a low voice.
Suddenly, Liang Ruming smiled again and asked, "Two months ago, I received a letter of state from the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom. Do you know what's on the national credentials?"
At this time, after just a little silence, Leng Qing replied decisively: "This is a major event between the two countries, and the people dare not speculate." ”
At that time, for the sake of Lin Xiaoyang, Yan Ziming Feige passed a letter to Wang Quan to write a letter of sealing to Liang Ruming, the emperor of the Great Liang State, in his name, and Leng Qing actually knew about it. However, in front of Liang Ruming, Leng Qing couldn't say that she knew.
And at that moment, Liang Ruming suddenly laughed mysteriously: "Don't you really know......?" Sunny girl. ”
was shouted "Leng Qing" by Liang Ruming in such a leisurely tone, Leng Qing's heart naturally jumped immediately: How could Liang Ruming know her name "Leng Qing"! When she was on Qinshan, although she and Cheng Yiying reported their home once, Cheng Yiying did not tell her real name. Later, she always called herself "Leng Xin...... What went wrong......
The dark clouds in Ren Shi's heart were surging, but on his face, Leng Qing still answered calmly: "The emperor shouted the wrong name, the people's daughter's name is Leng Xin, and the people's daughter's sister is Leng Qing." ”
"Leng Qing, Leng Xin, aren't they all Qing?" At that time, Liang Ruming was still smiling, and his tone of voice was also very leisurely.
At this time, Leng Qing naturally couldn't admit that she was Leng Qing even if she died, so Leng Qing could only smile and say: "The emperor said that the emperor is joking, the people's daughter and her sister are twin sons. ”
However, at that time, Liang Ruming smiled so softly: "This kind of thing, you can deceive my stupid son, but in front of me...... You must know that this beam is my beam, but whatever happens in the territory of the beam, if I want to know the truth, there will be countless people who will find out the truth for me. Do you know what happened to the crime of bullying the king?"
From beginning to end, Liang Ruming has always smiled amiably, but the next moment Liang Ruming's words fell, Leng Qing had already slid off the chair neatly, knelt on the ground, and at the same time simply spit out a sentence: "The people don't dare." ”
And in that room, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne, always smiled gently: "Don't be so afraid, I just joke with you, I won't really deal with you." After all, I'm going to keep your life and help me do something. ”
Leng Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, only groaned slightly, and then asked very calmly: "I don't know what the emperor wants the people to do?"
However, Liang Ruming did not answer Leng Qing's inquiry directly, but said to Leng Qing like a dumb riddle: "I will tell you later, but before that, I want to ask you, do you want Lin Xiaoyang and others to be wanted by the whole Liang Kingdom...... Or do you want the Daliang State Government to never interfere in Lin Xiaoyang's murder of his father and mother, and the mutilation of his own nephew?"
At this time, Leng Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, was silent and did not answer Liang Ruming's words.
It's not that Leng Qing doesn't want to help Lin Xiaoyang, but Leng Qing can't figure out whether Liang Ruming really wants to threaten her by throwing Lin Xiaoyang's "bait", or does he just want to borrow her mouth to admit that Lin Xiaoyang really did the matter of killing his father and mother and mutilating his own nephew? If it was the former, Leng Qing would definitely agree without hesitation, even if the price of the promise was to be used by Liang Ruming. But if it's the latter......
Just when Leng Qing's heart was spinning, but seeing Liang Ruming sitting on the throne, he opened his mouth again, and said so slowly: "By the way, do you know that half a year ago, in the western district of Beijing, the Liu Mansion, which is only one street away from your 'brother-in-law' Zhu's Mansion, was slaughtered all over the night, and no one in the mansion was alive except for the subordinates and children under the age of three......
