The envoys of the Dian Kingdom had nothing to say, but begging the envoys, Haas Chaolu, an old acquaintance in the palace, stood up and said with a smile, "My king is trying to marry the princess for the prince, since the emperor has this word, it will be easy to do." Please ask the emperor to make it clear which princess Fengtai wants to choose a son-in-law, and on which day, the prince of our clan will come to run! ”

What the? Does he play really? At this time, even Gao Xian had to be cautious.

The Queen Mother squinted and smiled, and said to relieve Gao Xian, "Today is the birthday banquet of the mourning family, do you don't want to send a few people to the mourning family, but want to abduct the granddaughter of the mourning family?" There is no such reason. ”

Haas Chaolu smiled and punished himself, and sat down with an apology, but some words could not be taken back.

Concubine Zheng only knew that she was speechless, but she could be favored, she was a little clever, and when she saw that she was a little cold, she pushed her daughter in a timely manner.

Shou Ning stepped forward and said coquettishly, "Imperial grandmother, can you eat this time?" I danced for a long time and was hungry. ”

The childish words suddenly diluted the previous unpleasantness, and the Queen Mother smiled, "This table full of dishes is not enough for you to eat?" Then go to the Imperial Grandmother and see what else you want to eat. By the way, let's also let those who offer food come up. I always eat the taste of the palace, and now we will change the taste. ”

While laughing, the eunuch quickly passed the word, and immediately set up a long table in the hall, spread red felt, and put all kinds of delicacies like flowing water.

For a time, deer tendons and bear paws, hump monkey brains, shark fin civet lips, dried sea cucumbers, but everything that flies in the sky, walks underground, swims in the sea, and hides in the mountains, as long as it is a delicacy that can be imagined in this world, all of them are concentrated here. Everything is beautifully done. Exquisite, just looking at it is a pleasure, not to mention the aroma that tempts people's appetite fingers.

The Queen Mother glanced at it with satisfaction, although she said "too much", but her eyes fell on the golden sauce-scented goose paw on a white jade plate in the first row. The palace people next to him understood and immediately brought it up.

The Queen Mother tried a piece, only to feel that this goose paw was very different from what she had eaten in ordinary times, and it had a very unique taste, and she couldn't help but praise it. "Who did this?"

The eunuch next to him replied. "It's the three girls of the Lu family who came in, and she is also the apprentice of the head of the imperial dining room."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Sure enough, it is from a family, and it is extraordinary." ”

I picked a few more flavors and tasted them. It's good, though. But I don't think it's as good as the goose paw. couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the one who won the first place today is still the Lu family." ”

Gao Xian said with a smile. "The queen mother's birthday banquet, of course, is all up to you. Go, summon that Miss Lu in. ”

Lu Ying was already waiting outside the hall, and when she heard that the dishes she made had really won the favor of the Queen Mother, she was overjoyed. Walked into the main hall and bowed down in the most elegant manner, and was really praised by each other.

Even the emperor took a look at it with appreciation, "Sure enough, it is a Shanggong family, and he has learned the rules very well." ”

Lu Ying pressed the joy in her heart and gave another salute, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

The Queen Mother looked at it and liked it, "This girl was born so well, and the rules are good, do you want to enter the palace on an errand?" ”

Lu Ying smiled slightly, "The folk girl has not yet come out of the school, and she will only show off some carving insect skills, but she doesn't dare to enter the palace to offer ugliness." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You don't have to be too modest, just looking at your goose paw today, it took a lot of thought." As long as you have this heart, you will learn it slowly. However, if you don't want to, the mourners won't force you. After all, this is also a major life event, and it is necessary to think about it. ”

Lu Ying was embarrassed all of a sudden, she knew that agreeing now was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable choice. But if she agreed, what chance did she have with Ouyang Kang? It doesn't matter if she marries a man or not, but she is unwilling to lose to Nianfu!

Lu Ying was hesitating, but Gao Xian said, "Queen Mother, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, "What's the matter?" "Why don't you usually say it, but say it in such a public?

Gao Xian said with a smile, "Since I ascended the throne, I have seen that there are many palace maids in the palace who have left behind the previous dynasty and have passed the period of flower letters, and let them guard the palace until they are white-headed, which is really hurtful to the heavens and the peace. Therefore, I would like to take advantage of the good day of the queen mother's birthday to make a special decree that all those in the palace who are over 25 years old, still have relatives in their hometown, and are willing to return home, will send a sum of silver cloth and silk, and let them return to their families to marry. Then spread the decree to the world, recruit folk women to enter the palace as errands, some of the qualifications are excellent can also serve as female officials, and when the age is up, let them choose to stay or leave the palace, do you think it is good? ”

This is the best way to solve the rumors of choosing a concubine after repeated discussions by his think tank. It is deliberately said today, and it does not seem deliberate and raw.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very happy, "The emperor is merciful and sympathetic to the people, this is the blessing of all the people, what is the mourning family unwilling to?" ”

Lu Ying's heart moved, if this is the case, it is really a good opportunity. can enter the palace as an errand gilding, and you don't have to work hard all your life, but if you have to stay up to the age of twenty-five, she is a little old, how can she let Ouyang Kang wait for her?

When she was thinking about weighing it here, the civil and military officials and harem concubines over there stepped forward to praise the kindness of the emperor and the queen mother, and only Shou Ning took advantage of the time to run to the long dining table and looked around, "What kind of dish do I wish my sister to make?" Where did you put it? ”

Lu Ying suddenly became unhappy when she heard this, and saw the palace people next to her take Shou Ning to the very back of the table, pointed to an inconspicuous corner and said, "This is the dish that Miss Zhu presented on behalf of Beishi." ”

"But what is this?" Shou Ning asked curiously, attracting everyone's attention.

Empress Dowager Mu sat high, and began to squint her old eyes, but when she saw that the dish was quite familiar, she couldn't help but feel moved, and ordered, "Bring that dish over to the mourning family and take a look." ”

The palace people hurriedly stepped forward, carried by two eunuchs, and brought the dish over flatly.

It's a very strange dish.

It's strange because it's not on a regular plate, nor in a bowl, but on a large, boxy lacquer plate.

The lacquer plate is two feet wide and one foot wide, and I don't know what it is, and it doesn't look like a dish at all, but like a three-dimensional landscape painting.

I saw the green mountains and the flowing water on top of me. There are also green pines standing on it, a round of red sun in mid-air, and geese flying by, the end is lifelike, beautiful.

"What kind of place is this? What is it made of? Shou Ning curiously stretched out his little finger and wanted to poke it to try, but was pulled by Empress Dowager Mu herself, "Don't move!" ”

Shou Ning turned his head, but saw the Queen Mother staring at this dish, and suddenly burst into tears.

Shou Ning was taken aback, "Imperial Grandmother." Why are you crying? Don't cry. Don't cry! ”

Seeing her stretch out her little hand to wipe her tears, Empress Dowager Mu's heart warmed, and she hurriedly smiled, "The imperial grandmother is fine." It's fine. Just ......"

She looked at the dish again. But he choked up and couldn't speak.

Seeing his mother like this, Emperor Gao Xian couldn't help but be curious, and came over to see this dish in person. I didn't speak for a while. Suddenly, Wei Ran sighed, his eyes were stunned, "How many years have I been fighting between the north and the south, and I can't even remember what my hometown looks like." ”

The Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes, "The emperor still remembers that in the past, when you were young, every winter, it was also this season, the first emperor would always take you to this Luya Mountain to hunt, and the mourning family set up a tent by the river at the foot of this mountain and made a fire to wait for you to come back." If we go over in spring and summer, we will go fishing and picking wild vegetables, and our family will ......."

She couldn't cry anymore, Gao Xian stepped forward and patted her mother's back and let her lean on her shoulder, obviously evoking many beautiful memories.

"How could I forget? It was the happiest time for our family. I still remember one time when I was naughty and secretly carried you to the river to swim in the middle of the night, but my leg cramped and I almost drowned. My mother was still not at ease, so she got up in the middle of the night to check if our brothers had slept well, and found that I was not in the tent, so she quickly brought someone to look for me, which saved my life. Later, my father became angry and beat me up, and I will never forget it in my life. ”

The Queen Mother laughed with tears in her eyes, "Then the emperor still blames the mourning family for not protecting you at that time, and only watching your father beat you?" ”

"Of course not." Gao Xian has not been so emotional for many years, but today he was unexpectedly hooked by a dish, reached out to wipe away the tears on his mother's face, and said warmly, "I know that you and your father will beat me because they feel sorry for me." At that time, you were also terrified, right? ”

"Isn't it? In the two or three months after your accident, the mourning family almost didn't dare to sleep all night long, and when they closed their eyes, they were afraid that your brother would run out of the house and be naughty, so they would get up from time to time and ask, and see that you had slept well, and even your father couldn't sleep well, so he could only go to sleep in the study. ”

The mother and son recalled the bits and pieces of the past, and the warmth of laughter and tears made outsiders unable to mix in at all.

The adults are okay, but Shouning is young and ignorant, and he was ignored for a long time standing at the bottom, and he was a little unhappy, pulling the hem of the clothes of the two and said, "Grandmother, father, don't talk all the time." Is this dish edible? ”

Her words made the Queen Mother laugh again. Gao Xian nodded at his daughter's little nose, "You little gluttonous cat, remember to eat." But how exactly is this dish made? ”

Shou Ning unceremoniously poked his finger again this time, tasted the taste, and grinned, "I know it, it's tofu flower!" Well, this pine tree is made of mushrooms, so it's delicious! ”

And that's a great job!

Even the Empress Dowager Mu looked at this dish with great interest, and sure enough, the mountains and rivers of different colors were all made of colored tofu flowers, and then spread them one spoonful after another, forming flowing mountains and rivers, like splashing ink landscapes, very dynamic.

Empress Dowager Mu exclaimed, "This is the best dish that the mourning family has seen today, and it is also the most touching dish in this life." ”

Gao Xian suddenly said arrogantly, "Is this dish offered by Beishi?" When the heirs come up, I will be rewarded! ”

Next to him, Lu Ying, who had been forgotten, sank his heart to a bottomless place.

It's just a bowl of tofu flowers, and it's actually better than the goose paws she spent so much effort on? How can that girl be so cunning? Thinking of such an opportunistic approach? She is not convinced, she is not convinced by one hundred and twenty!

And next to her, there is a person who is just as unhappy as her, and that is Mrs. Tan.

That dead girl actually got the favor of the queen mother and the emperor? So how do you deal with her?

(Pull the pink again, it's the end of the month, please support more!) (To be continued......)
