"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the envoy of Dongying wants to enter the palace to cook a delicacy for the emperor. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tang Caiping planned everything for Hang Guifei.

Hang Guifei said disappreciably: "What Dongying food? What's so strange? I have a lot of treasures, what delicacies do I not have? My sister still has the heart to be curious about the food of the Dongying people. ”

"Niangniang, you don't know, I heard the emperor say that Dongying's food is called pufferfish, although my country also has it, but no one dares to eat it, because the body contains highly poisonous, a delay in the matter, the poison is more poisonous than the crane top red, and it will kill people in an instant!" The color screen said mysteriously. "Only the Japanese people of Dongying can completely remove the poison of the pufferfish, and I heard that the meat quality of the puffer fish is delicious and extraordinary!"

After hearing this, Hang Guifei's eyes flashed, Tang Caiping looked at Hang Guifei's expression, and retreated with interest, "Niangniang, it's not too early this day, so my sister will retire first." ”

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, the palace celebrated, and the Lantern Festival night banquet was set up in the Taihe Hall as usual. Empress Dowager Sun and the crown prince did not attend the palace banquet because of their confinement.

Hang Guifei was wearing a feather, and the costume made by the concubine made her more graceful and dignified. "This pearl chain of the concubine is really beautiful, it was rewarded by the emperor before, right?" Empress Wang looked at the pearl necklace around Concubine Hang's neck and spoke. "Yes, the emperor rewarded me with two mistletoe in front of me, so I'm going to find someone to string them into a chain." Hang Guifei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly.

"The emperor has arrived." Zhu Qiyu stepped into this night banquet wearing bright yellow clothes. , all the ministers bowed down together, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." "Zhong Aiqing is flat." Zhu Qiyu walked up to the high platform and sat down, looked at the people kneeling below, and replied calmly. Xu is because of the lack of Zhu Qizhen's family, Zhu Qiyu looks very refreshed today.

"Your Majesty, today's Dongying envoy came to pay tribute. It is said that this item is unique to Toei, and it is called pufferfish, and only Toei chefs can make it. Today, the envoy of Dongying brought the chef to present food to the emperor. Cao Jixiang said.

"Okay, let's serve." Zhu Qiyu is particularly happy today. "Yes, the emperor sent the meal." Cao Jixiang went to the imperial dining room to deliver food.

"Your Majesty, this dish is Chef Dongying's special puffer fish soup." Cao Jixiang opened the soup bowl for Zhu Qiyu, and the aroma of puffer fish soup filled the entire hall.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it but saw that the soup bowl did not move the chopsticks, the palace maid who was in charge of the meal carefully took a small sip, drank it tentatively, and after a moment of nothing, the palace maid nodded, kneeling and officially presented the puffer fish soup to Zhu Qiyu.

"It tastes good, reward." Zhu Qiyu tasted it and praised this soup. "Your Majesty, this soup is so delicious, why don't you send a cup to Xianyang Palace? To show the emperor's brotherhood? "Concubine Hang reminded Zhu Qiyu." Oh yes, come on, tell me to go down and send some soup to Xianyang Palace. ”

When Concubine Hang heard this, she glanced at the maid beside her, and the maid quietly retreated, "Your Majesty, the concubine respects the emperor with a cup, and wishes the emperor a long and healthy life." Hang Guifei picked up the wine glass and attracted Zhu Qiyu's attention.

In the Xianyang Palace, Qiao'er lazily attached to Ruoxue's feet and took a nap, Ruoxue took Zhu Jianshen to make Kong Ming lanterns, and Empress Dowager Sun watched from the side.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the envoy of Dongying made a puffer fish soup for the emperor, and the emperor instructed the slaves and maids to send two cups to the queen mother and the crown prince. ”

"Sister, why is this lantern always bad?" Zhu Jianshen ignored the palace people, asked Ruoxue lanterns, and diverted Ruoxue's attention.

"Put it down, you stand down."

"Yes." When the palace people retreated, Zhu Jianshen put down the pen in his hand, pulled Ruoxue to the table, opened the soup cup and smelled it. "It smells so good, grandmother, come and drink it."

"Prince, go wash your hands, the slave will help you serve the soup." Ruoxue coaxed Zhu Jianshen to wash his hands. Qiao'er jumped on the table and knocked over the soup cup.

Ruoxue hurriedly came over to drive away the cat, but after seeing Qiao'er drink the soup, she suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.

"Qiao'er! Qiao'er! What happened to you?! When Zhu Jianshen rushed over, Qiao'er was already dead of anger and couldn't help crying. When Empress Dowager Sun heard the prince's cry, she hurried over, but saw a mess on the ground, and Zhu Jianshen and Ruoxue hugged Qiao'er and cried non-stop. Immediately understood what was happening.

"Niangniang, the puffer fish soup is poisonous, Qiao'er drank a little and died." Ruoxue hugged Qiao'er's body on the ground and said with sobs.

"Qiao'er Guo lives up to this name, human nature, if it weren't for it today, I'm afraid the prince and I would have died. Ruoxue, don't be too sad, I'll order someone to bury Qiao'er. Empress Dowager Sun was still calm and calm, and let Ruoxue handle the scene.

"Qiao'er, I have been rescued since I was a child, and now in the twilight of my life, I know that my life is short, so I repaid our nurturing grace in this way." Ruoxue's tears kept staying: "Prince, Qiao'er died well this time, she will definitely go to heaven." ”

"Liang Fang! Come on, this palace wants to set up a cat mound for Qiao'er! to comfort its faithfulness! Zhu Jianshen wiped his tears and ordered.

Liang Fang led everyone to carry Qiao'er to a secluded place in the garden outside the hall for burial, and Zhu Jianshen ran to put all the things Qiao'er ate and played with next to its corpse.

"Niangniang, I'm afraid Chu Xiugong has moved his mind. The palace maid who delivered the soup today, the slave maid looked at it a little familiar, and after a closer look, she remembered that it was the palace maid next to Hang Guifei, whose name was Lingxin. Ruoxue and Empress Dowager Sun watched outside the hall, and said in the ear of Empress Dowager Sun.

"Ruoxue, are you sure?" When Empress Dowager Sun heard Ruoxue's words, she seemed to be pondering something. "I'm afraid, at this time, not only Chu Xiugong did it, but I'm afraid that Zhu Qiyu also knows about it. Otherwise, Chu Xiu Palace would not have the courage to use the diplomatic relations between the two countries to plot against us. ”

"Yes, if the prince eats the puffer fish by mistake today, I am afraid that the prince will become the prince tomorrow!" Ruoxue said quietly.

"Ruoxue, you are a smart child, you should know what we should do next." Empress Dowager Sun patted Ruoxue's hand and smiled bitterly. Ruoxue nodded, "Yes, Ruoxue understands, the prince is safe." ”

The next day, at noon, Ruoxue came to the Qianqing Palace under the sun. Zhu Qiyu already knew that Hang's hands and feet moved last night, and what Hang said to him that day, he had long known that it was a matter of time before the prince returned to the west, but he didn't want to be eaten by a cat by mistake. Is this providential? Xianyang Palace's fate should not be extinguished? "Aunt Wan of Xianyang Palace asks to see." Wakayuki stood in the doorway and shouted calmly. Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly, could it be that Wan Zhen'er wants to ask the teacher again this time?

"Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." Ruoxue entered the hall and knelt straight down to Zhu Qiyu and saluted

"Ruoxue, are you here? Last night's incident ......" Zhu Qiyu was interrupted by Ruoxue before he finished speaking.

"Empress Dowager Sun asked the slaves and maids to ask the emperor for a holy decree." Ruoxue said and saluted Zhu Qiyu again, "Empress Dowager Sun said that the crown prince Zhu Jianshen is willing to give up the position of prince and go out of the palace with the slave maid. Ask the emperor to issue a holy decree, abolish the position of Prince Zhu Jianshen, and let the slaves and maids take him out of the palace together. ”
