Chapter 183: Stew
Qing Li did not go directly to the Zhongtang banquet hall, but rested for a while in the guest room that Xu Huayun had prepared for her earlier, and waited until the guests were almost there, and then Shi Shiran left.
Today's guests came a lot, and they brought their families, and they were all acquaintances of each other, so there was no distinction between men and women, and the family sat behind a case.
Ling Rui still did not come to participate on the pretext of calling himself sick, even though Qing Li knew that his body had actually slowly recovered, but he did not want to come to this kind of occasion, so Qing Li was just a person representing the palace.
Fortunately, Si Er sat next to her, so she didn't seem too lonely.
Ling Sier's feelings were a little sluggish, probably knowing that Ling Chu was coming today, she was not ready to face it, so she ate quietly on a plate of dim sum on the table alone.
Qing Li didn't say anything, maybe she couldn't find any position to comfort and encourage, this kind of thing, she still has to learn to deal with it.
Just poured a glass of wine and took a sip, a tall and burly figure was projected in front of her, and when she looked up, she found that it was Liu Jun when she went to Chuzhou before, but his gaze stayed behind her at this time...... Lan Xi on the body!
Qing Li looked at Lanxi in amazement, but saw that this cheerful and generous girl on weekdays was a little embarrassed, and her pretty face was flushed!
That's a rarity!
Qing Liqing coughed, and finally pulled back Liu Jun's almost distracted gaze, the latter scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and arched his hand in greeting: "Princess, how are you doing recently?" ”
As he spoke, the rest of his eyes turned to Lan Xi. I can't wait for a pair of eyes to fly out and stick to others.
Lan Xi's face was even redder, as if it had been soaked in flower petal water.
She stomped her foot and tugged at An Ning's sleeve beside her, but An Ning dodged to the side very familiarly. didn't pay attention to her at all, which can be regarded as embarrassing Lan Xi.
While admiring the eyebrows of the two, Qing Li did not forget to drink a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, I don't know if you should give me an explanation?" ”
As soon as it appears, it will "tick. "Her personal maid, this action is fast enough!"
Liu Jun suddenly became stern and arched his hand: "The princess." Liu is going to come to propose, as long as the princess agrees, Liu will marry Lanxi! ”
His ordinary face was full of fortitude. A pair of eyes were shining with a black light, and at this time, the ordinary face was a little handsome.
Qing Li raised his eyebrows playfully, "Asking for marriage?" We in Lanxi can only be wives. Are you sure you want to marry her? ”
Liu Jun is now a lieutenant of the fourth grade. In terms of identity, it is completely possible to marry the daughter of a family, and Lan Xi's maid identity, if Liu Jun marries, will undoubtedly be ridiculed, but if Lan Xi is made small, she will disagree with ten thousand!
Unexpectedly, Liu Jun didn't care about the meaning of Qing Li's words at all, his eyes locked on Lan Xi, and he said contemplatively: "I want to marry her!" Start with the peach blossom on the flower festival. It is destined for our fate, last month in the maple forest of the garden. When I met her again, I decided that she was my wife for the rest of my life! The only wife! ”
Liu Jun said it firmly, the sincerity in his eyes could not be faked at all, Lan Xi's face was almost red to the base of his neck, he couldn't speak with anger and laughter, turned around and ran out.
"Hey......" Liu Jun watched the figure disappear and scratched his head in confusion.
What did he do wrong? What happened to Lanxi?
Ling Sier, who was watching the play on the side, laughed out loud early in the morning, "You idiot, why don't you catch up quickly?" ”
Liu Jun was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him stupidly.
"This Lord Liu is really interesting!" Ling Sier leaned back with a smile, completely losing the sullenness just now.
Qing Li shook his head amusedly, "When I knew him, I didn't know what an interesting person he was. "Liu Jun at that time, resolute, stubborn and machismo, how could he be so stupid today? Sure enough, it varies from person to person.
Thinking of the blushing appearance of Lanxi when he came back from the garden that day, Qing Li finally understood.
It turns out that girl really has an affair!
Thinking that Lan Xi has been by his side for so long, and he wants to marry someone else in the future, he is really a little reluctant.
Liu Jun made some noise just now, and many people turned their eyes over, and after only a moment's effort, a tall and thin middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed, "Princess, do you remember the lower official?" ”
The visitor was tall and thin, with a goatee on his chin, and a thin face but bright eyes, which made him look very energetic.
"Lord Ying!" Qing Li was stunned.
Isn't this the Zhizhou Ying Tianhai of Chuzhou? How did you get to Kyoto? He also came to attend the full moon ceremony of the emperor and grandson......
Ying Tianhai smiled, "Thanks to the princess who solved the plague in Chuzhou, the emperor was grateful for the hard work of the lower officials, so he transferred the lower officials to Kyoto, and now it is Zhongyun in the East Palace." ”
From Zhizhou to Zhongyun, from the fifth grade to the fifth grade, this is a promotion......
"Then I'm going to congratulate Lord Ying......
Qing Li raised his glass to congratulate, and the two inevitably exchanged pleasantries on the scene.
When the person left, Qing Li rubbed his eyebrows slightly in distress, and said in his belly: This kind of work to deal with people is really tiring......
Stretched out his hand and poured himself another glass of wine, and was about to give it away, but suddenly the words of Ling Yichen who had been warned by Ling Yichen at the end of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet suddenly sounded in his head: "When I am not there, you are not allowed to drink!" ”
The black eagle eyes locked her tightly, obviously domineering and awe-inspiring, but there was a trace of tenderness in those eyes......
Qing Li smiled, unconsciously put down the wine glass in his hand, but picked up the tea cup on the side and sipped it lightly.
It didn't take long for the crown prince Ling Qianyu and Xu Huayun to wear formal clothes to welcome the guests, the two nurses each hugged a royal grandson, and there were a few grandmothers and palace maids around them, who regarded the imperial grandson as more important than life.
Xu Huayun's body appeared in front of everyone, he could still talk and smile, his face was ruddy, and he couldn't see that he was a person who had walked through the ghost gate.
When everyone was surprised, they all turned their eyes to Qing Li.
The people have spread it all over the people, and they have also heard that the princess used a knife on the crown princess's belly and took out the two imperial grandchildren......
Disemboweled, and finally unharmed, this kind of fantasy is only in myths and legends, and it will come true one day!
Everyone secretly exclaimed, this princess is really a miracle doctor!
Ling Qianyu was laughing and talking with everyone with a red light, during which he received a particularly gloomy gaze, he turned to look and saw Prime Minister Duanmu and Prime Minister's wife sitting behind the desk, looking at him with a smile.
Ling Qianyu did not shy away from it, and bowed slightly at Prime Minister Duanmu.
Since he abandoned Duanmu Hitomi, he was ready to take revenge on the prime minister, and of course he would accept it.
Prime Minister Duanmu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the secret contest between the two was slowly unfolding.
"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! The queen's mother, concubine Niangniang, and An Zhaoyi have arrived! ”
An announcement came from outside the middle hall, and a room of people got up to salute the emperor and the queen mother and several maidens.
Ling Chu seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and even his steps were brisk.
However, that kind of lightness is completely dependent on medicine, Qing Li just saw his thinner figure than before, but his face was vain, his eyes were slightly protruding and puffy, and there was some blackness under his eyes, he could judge that Ling Chu had been immersed in wine these days, and he was about to hollow out his body......
Her eyes involuntarily cast to Concubine Xian, only to see that her plump jade flower-like delicate face was full of spring light, and her already stunning face was even more charming and sultry at this time, which showed that this rain and dew were unique, she was not only able to bear it, but also very useful......
Ling Chu laughed and said "flat", and then walked to look at the two little guys.
Children of this age are extremely sleepy, and even though the middle hall is very noisy, they still sleep soundly.
Ling Chu amused for a while and then walked to the main seat and sat down, and everyone dared to sit back in their original positions and listen to the emperor say the opening remarks.
Ling Sier had been keeping his head down since the emperor appeared, his hands tightly clutching the corners of his skirt, and even his body trembled slightly.
When my father looked at the two little emperors just now, his kind and kind expression was originally aimed at her, but now, he didn't even want to care about it at all......
Qing Li gently held her hand, made some effort to relax her, and whispered, "Don't be afraid." ”
The faint voice calmed the strong uneasiness in his heart, Ling Sier nodded almost imperceptibly, and ate the dishes in front of him again.
The steaming delicacies were placed on several tables, each of which was full of color, flavor and flavor, Ling Sier focused on a stew, took several bites, and felt that the taste was extremely delicious, and his eyes lit up and he was happy to eat.
It's not just Ling Sier who thinks so, almost everyone here, as long as they eat this stew, is full of praise.
Ling Chu looked at everyone's surprise, and the dragon heart was happy, "I like this stew very much, the cook is from An Zhaoyi's small kitchen in the palace, thinking of having fun with Zhongqing today, I called the prince's mansion to cook it specially, what do you think?" ”
Such words fell down, and of course everyone replied deliciously, and ate several bites in a row.
Empress Ning's eyebrows were almost imperceptible, and the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism and didn't eat these meats, so she didn't say too much, Concubine Xian took two bites and smiled at the emperor, which obviously meant delicious, and An Zhaoyi's face suddenly rose a trace of pride, and she cast a shallow and faint look at Qing Li, like disdain, like a demonstration.
It's not just her, it's Lu Xueyu, who is sitting next to the third prince, who also raised her head arrogantly at this time, looking at Qing Li contemptuously, as if she was looking at people with her nostrils.
Only the third prince looked calm, and there was no obvious movement.
Qing Li smiled lightly and did not comment.
The earlier lady concubine Niangniang, because she was reorganized by Qing Li, was demoted to An Cairen, and was promoted to An Jieyu when the emperor sealed the harem.
After that, An Jieyu had a weak appetite and didn't want to eat, and Lu Xueyu, who was already the third princess, specially sent two cooks from her mother's house to cook meals for An Jieyu in order to please her mother-in-law.
Such deliciousness made her appetite greater, and she won the emperor's appreciation for it, and she was promoted to another level and became the current An Zhaoyi.
So the emperor's dish is undoubtedly a face-saving meal for these two people. (To be continued......)
