Chapter VIII
Above the main hall, the sound of singing and dancing is endless. Xu Zhenghai was watching a eunuch send a stewed mutton to this side, and then seeing that Li Jing couldn't support it anymore, he flicked his hand and asked him to go down.
The eunuch saw the gesture, understood it immediately, and stepped back with interest, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Li Jing.
"What, don't you ask me to taste the food?" Li Jing's cheeks were red, and he barely struggled to lower his eyelids before he could see the person's appearance clearly.
"Your Majesty, the slave watched you drink for three rounds, and you were a little drunk...... Before Xu Zhenghai finished speaking, Li Jing interrupted.
Li Jing squinted, looking at the heat coming from the dish, thinking that after eating so much wine, he still hadn't eaten a raw dish. It looks like a bowl of soup, so it's better to drink it while it's hot, and it's a hangover.
"What kind of dish is this, but soup?" Xu Zhenghai called the man up again, and Li Jing asked without waiting for him to approach.
"Back to the emperor, it's a stewed mutton, the soup is a little greasy, the emperor wants to drink soup, or change it, the kitchen is making beef bone hangover soup, please wait a little longer." The man spoke smartly, and Li Jing liked it. Even Xu Zhenghai was surprised, why didn't he know that he still had this ability.
"It's very good to speak, this soup is a little greasy, but Concubine De has always liked mutton, give her a reward, if she doesn't eat it, you will take it," Li Jing laughed dryly, and asked as if he remembered something, "I didn't say any beef bone hangover soup today, who ordered it?" ”
"It's the Queen's Mother."
"Queen, she is very caring, after the banquet, you ask the kitchen to make a delicate three-fresh yuba for the queen, this thing is for dinner, she must not be able to eat much at the banquet today, don't hurt your stomach, and then make some soup to eliminate food and send it over." After Li Jing finished saying these words, he was already a lot more sober, and he was still lively below. I feel like a familyman, and I think that ordinary people are the same. Warmth suddenly felt in my heart.
"Yes." The little eunuch agreed to go down, and Xu Zhenghai saw that the emperor liked this eunuch, so he quietly sent someone to inquire where this person was doing and transferred him to the palace. Li Jing is enjoying this family fun, who knows the turbulent waves below. After a while, I thought that the singing and dancing below was not good, and I had to call someone to perform it again.
After a night of trouble, the feast was over. When I came out, everyone was looking up under the porch, and the moon after fifteen was already a little missing, but the bright light still made people look comfortable. There are rare stars around it, and it is really rare moon stars.
Although the queen was kind, after what happened just now, she thought that she remembered the prince these days, and thought that he was busy and didn't come in. It turned out that he came in, but he didn't come to see him. The more I thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and after sending everyone away, I left in a hurry. Concubine Song Xian's mother and daughter and Chong Wuyi followed behind, and they couldn't say a word along the way, knowing that the queen was not happy.
As for the prince, he also knew that the queen mother was not happy. But as soon as she went out, she was entangled by Ling Guifei, thinking about saying that she was tired and wanted to leave, but Hua Yuelin came to the end, catering to Ling Guifei, and pulling her to the palace. When the prince turned around, he couldn't see the figure of the queen mother.
King Jin, King Qi and others also left together. Duke Le'an was left in the palace. The princess was also a little puzzled by the emergence of King Boryeong just now, and she also left him behind.
"What do you mean today?" On the way, the princess asked in a low voice.
"What does the queen mean?"
"What do you mean by speaking for the prince today?" The princess suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at King Boryeong with her eyes.
"The Ling clan bullied people too much, I must have made your mother suffer a lot, I just suppressed her, why not?" The king of Boryeong borrowed the strength of the wine, and he was justified. In fact, he also thought a lot, but he just felt that the Ling clan was arrogant and hateful, so he came out. That's why there is such a justifiable reply at this time.
Chongshi seemed to think for a moment, and then sighed. His eyelids drooped down, and he lost his energy.
"If you really think so, it's fine, I'm afraid I'm afraid you'll be caught in troubled waters."
Sure enough, the queen mother was worried about this. What Yan An said was really right, she always had to do something easier to hide from her. King Boryeong thought about it, and felt more and more cute and pitiful about Yan An.
"What is the queen mother talking about, what are the troubled waters, the child knows to protect herself, and the mother doesn't have to worry." Li Jingyu deliberately turned his eyes to the Chong family, and his words were steady, as if he was giving her a reassuring pill.
"This is good, this is good, Xiao'er, now that the situation is chaotic, it is only right to protect yourself with wisdom, but don't be like the queen mother back then." As soon as Chongshi remembered the events of that year, a wave of sadness welled up in his heart. A hand has been raised, ready to catch the drooping tears.
"Queen Mother, don't worry, you all know."
"That's fine, that's fine."
