Chapter 192: A Pig Caused a Bloody Storm
The queen was just about to ask this, but the emperor on the side had already asked, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't look at the emperor, just looked at Le Ruyi-
Le Ruyi raised her head and looked at the concerned eyes of the queen and the emperor, of course, the emperor also cast a concerned gaze on her, but to the emperor, she was still a little scared in her heart, so she could only be forced to ignore the emperor's gaze.
Pursed his mouth, Le Ruyi said indignantly to the queen, "Before going out today, Ruyi saw my brother's private food, but unfortunately, he locked it with a lock and didn't find the key!" β
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, feeling that he shouldn't have asked this question at all, and the queen looked at Le Ruyi a little helplessly, this little thing can make her unable to eat?
But the Twelfth Prince was different, when he heard Le Ruyi's words, he immediately sat up straight, his little face was tense, and he was very strict, "Is that the room locked next to the small kitchen?" β
When Le Ruyi heard this, he found a like-minded friend, nodded immediately, and twisted his body to go to the Twelve Princes to discuss the 'big thing' with him, but was grabbed by Jiang Yichen, and his eyes signaled to her, pay attention, now she is in the palace.
With such a reminder, Le Ruyi could only sit upright, look at the emperor innocently, and hope that he would not blame himself, and it was better not to see it!
The emperor looked at his son and this most likable girl in front of his wife, and both of them seemed to have anger in their eyes, so they couldn't help but start thinking more, what was the mountain delicacies or the seafood in Wu Han's locked room?
Silently bowing his head, the emperor said that he didn't see anything, didn't hear anything, and silently took the dish in front of him and sent it to his mouth.
When the Twelve Princes heard this, they twisted their buttocks, although they didn't run to Le Ruyi, they really couldn't sit still. raised his head and glanced at the queen eagerly, wanting to get her permission to discuss with his newly appointed imperial sister how to break the house. That's a big deal.
The queen was helpless, looked at the two pairs of misty eyes, sighed, looked at her side, and actually wanted to hear the emperor of this matter, smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, here, there are a few in the family." Simply, let the children let go of eating, drinking and having fun, don't be restrained? β
This really flattered the emperor, because for the emperor, the queen has not been like this for a long time, and she treats him from the bottom of her heart, even if it is because of the two hairy children.
With a light voice, the emperor tried his best to put on a kind face, and smiled at the twelve princes, "It's okay, it's all said to be a family banquet, you just follow what the queen says!" β
After saying that, he lowered his eyes again and sat there silently.
It's just that after he said this, the twelve princes said strangely, in the past, when he and his mother had dinner together, didn't this father just show his face and leave? Why do you look like this, like you're not ready to leave?
looked at the queen on the side with puzzled eyes, only to see that she shook her head silently, telling the twelve princes not to care. Only then did he pout, turned his head, and looked at Le Ruyi, "Sister Huang, do you know what is in there?" β
Le Ruyi frowned, she didn't care about this, but looking at Wu Han's appearance as a baby, it must have been something they had already eaten, it was delicious, but it was not enough to eat.
"I know!" Le Ruyi's puzzled look made the Twelve Princes arrogantly shy, and raised his head, "I smelled it last time, it smelled of roast pig!" β
Roast pig? Le Ruyi's eyes widened, why didn't she know that there was such a dish as roast pig in Wu's mansion?
"It's probably prepared by my mother-in-law when we first entered Beijing!" Knowing that Le Ruyi ate a lot at noon, Jiang Yichen just sandwiched a few pieces of refreshing vegetables and put them on Le Ruyi's plate, looking at her puffing out her cheeks, as if she was blaming herself for not suing her earlier, she smiled helplessly, "I'm just guessing about this!" After all, there is a pig shed in the back, but there are no piglets inside, which looks a little strange, plus, these days, the pork we eat is all bought outside! β
Such a reasonable analysis made Le Ruyi feel more and more that there was a roast pig in that room, holding chopsticks angrily and gritting his teeth, he didn't expect that he had hidden it for so long, and he must have secretly eaten it every night after he fell asleep.
"How do you know there's a roast pig in there?" The emperor looked at the angry look of the two hairy children after listening to Jiang Yichen's analysis, and felt funny, but what made him even more strange was that the dignified prince, how could he smell the smell of roast pig, and he knew it as soon as he smelled it?
According to the rules of the palace, this roast pig is a meal, and it is also a piece, and there is no so-called whole piece on the table, which is not only unsightly, but also unruly, so that these royal relatives and dignitaries who have been abiding by the rules for a long time are not easy to let go of the food!
Asking this question, the Twelve Princes shrank their heads a little weakly, this ...... Can this be said? Could it be that he told the emperor in front of the public, that he, a dignified prince, would shrink into the corner of the kitchen every time he waited for the imperial dining room to make a roast pig, silently waiting for the opportunity, stealing a fleshy bone and going back to gnaw it?
With such a weak heart, Le Ruyi felt as if he had seen himself who had eaten secretly in the past, and immediately ignited the heart of the calf, straightened his chest, looked at the emperor, and was very sincere, "Some time ago, the twelve princes went to Ruyi's mansion and ate roast pigeons, and the taste was roughly the same, so the twelve princes felt that the taste was a bit like roast pig!" β
But instead of solving the emperor's doubts, these words made him wonder even more, "Then why did Twelve say that it was a roast pig, not a roast pig?" β
After asking this question, he asked Le Ruyi, and then, the twelve princes looked at their imperial sister for themselves, and was choked by the annoying father, and got up without hesitation and looked at the emperor, "That's because the roast pigeon is finished, so the son will think that it is a roast pig!" β
But the emperor always felt that this truth did not make sense! However, seeing the two of them covering for each other, the emperor felt novel and funny. Looking at the twelve princes standing up, the little man's face looked like I was already a big man, and something was coming at me, the emperor was a little distracted, his youngest son had grown so big and learned to protect people!
Looking thoughtfully at the wine glass on the table, just when Le Ruyi and the Twelve Princes thought that the emperor would not continue to ask questions, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth, "I heard that among the ministers in Beijing, only An Shangshu's mansion has many white pigeons, and they are not bad, I don't know, where do your pigeons come from?" β
This question, the Twelve Princes can't answer it, it's rare to eat roast pigeons, and pigeons, in Beijing are generally used as messengers, so usually you can hardly see people eating pigeons, roasting pigeons. When he went to Wu Mansion and found that there were roast pigeons, he naturally didn't think much about it, and went to eat it directly! Where did you think of this pigeon?
Le Ruyi hung his head silently, not knowing how to answer, and was a little nervous for a while. Seeing this, Jiang Yichen on the side still had a smile on his face, "What the emperor said is very true, this pigeon is indeed the pigeon of An Shangshu's family!" β
Ahn Sang-joo died in prison, and after she died, she was given an autopsy, saying that she had opened her stomach and that there was no child in her stomach at all. At this time, the emperor did not do anything to An Shangshu, and still let him be his Shangshu in front of him, and his daughter only announced to the outside world that she suddenly fell ill in the palace and died!
This made An Shangshu restless, and began to use the relationships he had since he entered the officialdom, leaving himself a way out everywhere. So the pigeon is a little bigger! It's a pity that these pigeons have never returned.
As soon as Jiang Yichen came to Beijing, the first task assigned to Du Qi was to let him keep an eye on An Shangshu's mansion all the time, and stop all the information that came out, even if the little guy in his mansion went out and sold the things he stole from the mansion, he had to master them one by one.
An Shangshu was in a hurry to turn gray in the house, thinking that the wall was falling down and everyone was pushing it, and no one was willing to take care of him. As everyone knows, his court protΓ©gΓ©s thought that he had been abandoned, and now, like a headless fly, he wandered around giving gifts, trying to find the next big tree so that he could take care of himself.
"Oh? What does An Shangshu know? The emperor looked at Jiang Yichen with a smile, with a faint coldness in his eyes.
But before Jiang Yichen could answer, Le Ruyi hurriedly spoke, "He doesn't know!" If he knew, how could he give it to us? β
After Le Ruyi finished speaking anxiously, the whole room was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, even the twelve princes were also holding their breath, shrinking their stomachs, and not daring to gasp.
"Ruyi, why are you still talking like before, only half of it? If you don't finish speaking, the emperor will misunderstand! The queen slowly picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and looked at Le Ruyi's eyes, with tenderness and support, "Hurry up, tell the meaning of what you just said, completely repeated!" β
Le Ruyi looked at the emperor suspiciously, only to see that his face was really not very good, and he was a little puzzled for a while, what he said just now was fine! Why did you provoke this emperor to suddenly be unhappy?
"Ruyi means, didn't the emperor just say that the pigeons are well raised in the Anda's mansion? Since it is well raised, it must have put a lot of effort into it! Moreover, Lord An is not a greedy person, so I am afraid that raising these pigeons will be of other use, right? β
Explained a paragraph of Le Ruyi in a whisper, paused, looked up at the emperor, and saw that there was no anger on his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to explain, "In this case, if he knew that we took this pigeon for food, he would definitely not take the initiative to give it to us!" Then we only have ...... Only...... Let this pigeon be of real use! β
