With Prince Yun returning to Lingsheng Pavilion, there are only mothers and empresses in the house, and there is only one Aunt Cao who waits, the courtyard of Lingsheng Pavilion is small, and the house is not big, in addition to a four-sided couch in the middle of more than a dozen square meters, there are two rows of wooden benches along the wall on both sides, there is a table of eight immortals in the room, the empress sits on the main seat, and the mother accompanies her drooping head, I originally thought that the emperor invited her to eat is the kind of person who sits on it and sends a small number of people below, but I didn't expect it to look similar to ordinary people.

When the old mother saw Prince Yun coming in, she got up to greet her, and the empress pressed her on the seat and said, "Sister, according to the old rules, since there is only your own family, don't be formal." "I was surprised again, the empress actually called my mother and sister, which is rare in the relationship between monarchs and ministers, many emperors have a lot of brothers in life and death when they are not emperors, and they dare not call them after ascending the throne, and it is a very taboo thing to call the emperor brothers.

The old mother seemed to be accustomed to it, and sat down with Prince Yun after greeting him, and the empress instructed Aunt Cao: "Since Mr. Sword God is back, let's pass the dishes." ”

Aunt Cao went out in response, and after a while, someone passed the dish up, but I was taken aback as soon as the dessert was served, only to see an aunt bring up a square plate, and the plate was surrounded by a wall made of ice sculptures, which were crystal clear without a trace of blisters, and in the center of the ice sculpture was a small stack of milky white cheese. Prince Yun introduced: "This dessert is called Snow Falling Spring City, Mr. may wish to try it." ”

I lifted the jade and shoveled up a piece and sent it into my mouth, it turned out that the cheese was made of fresh milk jelly, mixed with pastry in the middle, the cheese entrance was slightly cool but not irritating, the taste was mellow, I ate a piece, smacking my mouth, I felt unfinished, at this time it was the end of summer in the daughter country, there were ice cubes in the palace, it was not uncommon for this dessert to have the taste of Häagen-Dazs, I ate two pieces and was embarrassed to eat more, this thing really has an appetizing effect, if you don't eat it, you feel hungry after eating, and then there are five desserts, the taste is good, But the form is greater than the content, and each one or two chopsticks will be broken.

I looked at the aunt who passed the food at the door, a few desserts made me more and more hungry, the dessert was finished, it was really the main dish, an aunt came with a huge food box, put the food box on the table and opened it, I was a little surprised, the box was actually a strange peony flower, not only the petals are bright, even the flower stamens are also fiber, I held the chopsticks and didn't know what to do, Prince Yun said: "Sir, we are eating the famous flower banquet in the palace of the daughter country, This dish is extremely complicated to make, and you can't eat it normally. ”

The empress saw that I was still in a daze, smiled slightly, first picked up a petal and put it in my mouth to give me a demonstration, I also picked up a piece from the good flow and put it in my mouth, just chewed and was taken aback, it turned out that this thing looked like the petals of peony flowers, in fact, it was made of very thin slices of meat, the most peculiar thing is that the slices of meat were not colored, the delicate and dazzling colors were completely steamed by the fire, and then a closer look, the stamens were clearly pulled out of the silk with honey...... Not long after someone brings a variety of food boxes, open without exception is all kinds of flowers, eat carefully to taste what raw materials, the only fly in the ointment is still in the middle of the food, a dish can not eat a few bites of it is gone, and some people look at it at all reluctant to move chopsticks, among which there is a dish called the ephemeral is the most peculiar, like a teppanyaki with charcoal fire under it, when it comes in, it is still a flower bone, hot and hot suddenly blooms, and then slowly withered, a meal, only to know that it is made of fish slices,Probably using the principle of heat expansion and cold contraction,I can't eat much,A little regret is that although these dishes are full of color and flavor,But it doesn't seem to be very hungry,But this is also a helpless thing,To suddenly bring up a plate of braised pig's trotters at this time is a big thing to spoil the scenery。

After thirty years, the two aunts worked together to bring in a big guy and put it in the locality, I thought it was a "hard dish" up, and it didn't look like it, they brought in this thing like a potted plant, and put a tall white jade cup in the pot, this jade cup is shaped like a manger upside down in the basin, and the head is also sealed with a top, the basin is full of steaming hot water, the water is adsorbed from the bottom of the basin as if there is a force twitching, and it continues to flow down the body of the jade cup, the jade cup wall is murmuring, like a hot spring waterfall, I was wondering what this thing was, and Prince Yun said, "Our wine is here." She was just about to get up, when the Empress suddenly pressed her hand down, came to the jade cup herself, picked up a bucket and took out a bucket of pink wine from the jade cup's belly.

It turns out that this thing is a wine utensil, this jade cup is placed in a hot water basin, wrapped in hot water from time to time, neither cold nor hot, the ingenuity of the mind is an eye-opener for me, these small objects in the daughter country are really the best in the world.

The empress came to me with a bucket, filled my cup with the wine in the bucket, and poured it for Prince Yun and his mother, the two hurriedly got up and confessed, and the empress added wine to her own cup, and raised her glass and said: "There are no outsiders here, the two here, one is my imperial sister, and the other is my old sister. She smiled softly at me with her wine, "As for sir, I formally welcome you to our daughter country with this glass of wine, and in your eyes, we are all mediocre mortals, not to mention those worldly etiquette." ”

I touched her with a cup and said, "There are really not many people who have reached your level." ”

The empress smiled, and dried it up, and her mother and Prince Yun also drank it dry, this wine was slightly spicy in the mouth, but when it flowed down the throat, she only felt that the mouth and even the internal organs were a fragrant fragrance, the empress drank a glass, her cheeks were dizzy, obviously she didn't drink much often, Prince Yun grabbed the wine bucket for us, and the empress looked at me and said: "It is said that Mr. Sword God comes from a country completely different from our two continents, can you introduce us to the customs there?" ”

I thought for a while and said, "How can I say it, although we are a male-dominated society, the status of women is not low -- let's count the world we live in as a continent, most of the countries on the continent are not divided into men's countries and women's countries, and countries where men are emperors also have female high-ranking officials, and in countries where women are emperors, men can also participate in political affairs, even if they are relatively equal." ”

The Empress was incredulous: "Can men and women really be equal?" I've heard that the women of the men's kingdoms on the Union Continent have no place to speak of. ”

I know that discussing this issue with the people of the daughter country can only be the opposite of each other, and the empress's worries are normal, like theirs, men and women are really not equal under the current feudal system, either women oppress men or men oppress women, I can only interrupt: "Anyway, there will never be such a delicious flower banquet in the country of men." ”

The next thing was small talk, I picked up some inconsequential things to joke with the Empress and Prince Yun, and they both said that they didn't believe that there was such a thing as a car in the world, but when I talked about cosmetics, they asked me in detail for a long time with an attitude of believing it or not...... The middle mother didn't say a word, a little sad, the empress saw that something was wrong with her, and took a moment to say: "Sister, there hasn't been any movement on the Hegis side recently, right?" ”

The old mother said: "According to the reply of the spies I installed there, Haggis is ready to move, and they have gathered 800,000 troops on the border of the Black Forest on the border of the two continents to serve as the spearhead of the first attack. ”

The empress originally wanted to introduce her into the bureau, but when she heard the news, she suddenly became solemn: "They are moving so fast, you told me a few days ago that it was only in the stage of mobilizing grain and grass." ”

Mom said: "It seems that they are determined to win this time and want to make a big move." ”

The empress said, "Does my sister have confidence in this battle?" ”

The old mother said without hesitation: "Our daughter country has done everything it can do, now one is to see where Heggis starts to attack, and the other is to see if the Federation Continent can work together to resist foreign enemies, on the border of the Black Forest, the Honglie Empire is fully capable of withstanding the first wave of Hejis's attack, but their morale does not seem to be very strong, and the Eighteen-Nation Alliance is much worse, their combined population is not more than half of the Honglie Empire, not to mention, the most important thing is that the army is disheartened and separated, called the alliance but no one obeys anyone, At the critical moment, not only can they not rescue each other, but sometimes they are afraid of elbows and armpits, coupled with the lack of training of their soldiers, and they are still afraid of Haggis, Hegis really wants to choose this weak point to fight, they are vulnerable. ”

The empress frowned and said: "The situation of the Eighteen Kingdoms is not a day or two, if the Eighteen Kingdoms are broken, then our daughter country, what countermeasures does my sister have?" ”

My mother said: "I have sent 50,000 Feifeng troops to mix with their army, and all the military supplies are provided by us, I think even if I want to fight, I will try to put the battlefield outside my daughter's country." ”

The Empress nodded, "You're doing the right thing." She then added, "Have you recovered that batch of military funds?" ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have to sue you for this, I robbed that batch of military funds." As soon as I told me about the situation at that time, the empress just smiled and didn't mind, and her mother said: "That's exactly what was sent to the Feifeng Army on the border of the Eighteen Kingdoms, and I have already asked someone to prepare another one, and I can go on the road again in the next day or two." ”

The empress smiled and said, "After the accident, Su Chongwei also pretended to ask someone to hand me a post saying that she would compensate for all losses, how could I ask for her money?" Besides, Su Jing is your goddaughter again, I think your godmother is embarrassed to ask for her mother's money. ”

I asked my mother in surprise: "Su Jing is your goddaughter?" ”

The old mother nodded and said: "Su Jing, this girl has worked tirelessly for the country and the people, but unfortunately her mother is a complete money fan." ”

The empress said with a smile: "I also wonder how Su Chongwei can raise a daughter like Su Jing. ”

The three women discussed military affairs for a while, my mother and Prince Yun dealt with it like a stream, these three women are the power center of the daughter country, each of them is not covered, although Prince Yun looks a little cynical, but in a few words I will go back to arrange all the matters, although I can't interject, but the empress frequently toasts with me, but not idle, from the identity, the empress is to treat me as a distinguished guest, but this banquet surname is very private, from the location of the banquet to the content of the conversation I look like an outsider.

Their conversation came to an end, and the Empress seemed to inadvertently ask me, "Do you have any plans for Mr. Sword God when he returns?" ”

I scratched my head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

The empress tentatively asked, "Sir is still coming back, right?" ”

I glanced at my mother and said, "I'm definitely going to come back." ”

The empress was overjoyed when she heard this, and suddenly got up and bowed to me and said, "After that gentleman returns to the Federation Continent, I hope you will help us!" "When my mother and Prince Yun saw that she saluted me regardless of her identity, they were so shocked that they stood up together.

I was stunned and said, "How do you want me to help you?" ”

The empress stood in place and her posture remained unchanged, and she said solemnly: "Mr. Sword God has been powerful in the world in his previous life, and the people of the Federation Continent are hanging upside down, but the hatred of the Hegis Empire's ambition is not dead, and the army is reckless and sends heavy troops to attack, and now the strength of our continent has not recovered and the morale is low, and the army and the people talk about the enemy's color change, the only one who can save them is Mr. Qingyang, I want to ask Mr. to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes and lead the Federation Continent to escape again." ”

I put down my chopsticks and said, "What did the emperor say, as long as I come back, I will definitely come to help you, do I still help the Hegis Empire?" ”

The empress said: "Shu Qingyang is an inch, this time please ask Mr. to go back quickly." ”

I said, "I'll try." ”

The empress was relieved and said, "Thank you! She sighed softly and said, "Originally, Mr. had already sacrificed his life for the people of the mainland, and it is said that we should not report any more thoughts, and this time I will involve you again without your consent, which is even more undeserved." ”

These few words are very ironing for me, it is rare that she still knows the depression and grievances in my heart, but I also saw my mother because of this, and finally lost something, and as a dignified empress, she also made me very comfortable in this way, to say that I am now just a nominal sword god, but people are thoughtful, it is said that she just mentioned this request in front of the Manchu Dynasty, I can't refuse, but people didn't knock bricks and nails but begged each other in private, and the proportions were just right, the empress's bust, uh...... It is broad-minded, which shows broadness.

The empress was relieved, and raised her glass again: "This glass of wine, on behalf of the people of my daughter's country, I would like to thank Mr. ”

I drank it dry, pinched the wine glass and lost my mind for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, can I ask you a question?" ”

The empress said, "Just call me Qingyang." ”

I coughed embarrassedly: "It is said that the fight against Haggis is a matter for the entire continent, why is your country contributing to my problem?" ”

The empress paused and said: "It doesn't hurt to tell Mr. the truth, looking at the strength of the countries on the Federation Continent, the Honglie Empire has more than enough self-preservation, and the Eighteen Nations Alliance is all a generation that sees the wind and rudder, and has the intention of surrendering if it can't be defeated, only the daughter country is located in the continental plain, Hegis has coveted it for many years, we can neither surrender nor have the certainty of victory, and the pressure on our shoulders is the heaviest, so it is inevitable to be urgent, in the final analysis, we are selfish towards Mr." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then picked up my glass and said, "For the emperor's honesty, I respect you for this cup!" ”

The empress drank it all without hesitation, blushing and said, "This is the only cup, I can't drink it anymore." ”

Prince Yun was also slightly drunk at this time, and said excitedly: "Sister Huang, why don't you come to have some music and dance?" ”

When I heard this, I immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Are there any beautiful women?" ”

Prince Yun smiled and said: "There are no beauties, but there are a lot of handsome offspring, do you see?" ”

…… It seems that this chapter is still the day before yesterday...... The old flower must try to make up for it, the dragon sheep and the sheep are going back, to paraphrase the words in the introduction of other gods, and look at an ordinary what is transformed into a super something, standing on the peak of where it doesn't matter!
