Chapter 115: Torment (712+)
The second more
"The Empress Dowager has passed the meal." The outside was filled with cries of surprise.
Jing Wei and Xue Wei hurriedly ran out together and hurriedly entered the main hall. I don't know when they started eating, saying that it was lively, and they could eat a few more bites. The Empress Dowager passed the meal, so they got Qi.
The Empress Dowager sat in her place with a serious face, and Jingyou sat in his place on the left. And Liu Rong, as usual, set the table in person. Seeing them, smile at them. Just go to the door and start tasting.
The rules in the palace are that the dishes of the empress dowager and the emperor are all eunuchs who specialize in tasting dishes. Before each dish is served, the eunuch who tests the poison will taste it, feel that it is okay, and put a silver medal on the side of the plate to indicate that it is not poisonous.
And after they ate together, Liu Rong took over the job of tasting dishes. The Empress Dowager stopped her, but Liu Rong said coquettishly that this was her filial piety to her ancestors. The Empress Dowager thought about it and gave up.
Jing Wei also asked privately why she came in person because this was the work of a eunuch. As a result, Liu Rong's answer was, "Now I am in charge of the kitchen of Cining Palace, and no one is more suitable than me to try dishes for my ancestors." ”
As soon as she said this, no one fought with her anymore, and everyone silently watched her concentrate on tasting the dishes. For the first time, they felt that it was not easy for her. Everyone said that she was blessed, she was appreciated by the Queen Mother, jumped into the dragon gate, and was worth a hundred times, but who has ever seen her like this?
Jing You also looked at Liu Rong silently, at the beginning of Liu Rong's food trial, he didn't stop because he felt that at least, so that she could eat something. When they ate alone before, Liu Rong didn't eat anything, and he was depressed when he looked at it. But now, look at her holding silver chopsticks, try one bite of each, change the chopsticks, and try again! He had a sense of grief and indignation.
Everyone is saying that she is a noblewoman, but in fact, she is still doing the work of a female official. Over the years, what she has gotten is what she has worked hard for, why did she only make a request but still not get a response.
In fact, they talked behind closed doors for an afternoon, but there was still no solution. Because, this is not something they can solve.
They have to wait!
Waiting for the Su family's decision!
The old man of the Su family was critically ill, and then waited for them to die on their deathbed. If it is written on the dying testament that it is returned to the emperor, then Jingyou must go to the Su family to take a look at Su Jiugong, which can be regarded as a compliment to the Su family, and then, naturally, he has to make a decree when he returns to the palace and establish Su as the queen.
It's all a program!
Of course, there is also a result.
The Su family saw the form in the palace clearly, and they didn't say anything, and just died. Then the eldest son folded Ding worried, the Su family withdrew from the court, and then watched the other three families tear up. The form of the DPRK has nothing to do with them!
But at that time, he didn't make Eyue Yu the queen, but he had to make Yi Lei the queen. And at that time, I was afraid that the form of the court would be even more complicated!
So now it's a question of who is the first. Because there was no solution, Jingyou felt even more guilty about Liu Rong. Again, he felt useless. He said that he was a monarch, but in fact he couldn't even protect his beloved girl.
The Empress Dowager was also silent, she couldn't eat, she was old, her appetite was not good, she asked them to eat together before, but Liu Rong saw that her appetite was not good, so she asked everyone to be together, so everyone had fun together, everyone coaxed, and they could also use it more fragrantly.
Over the years, the Empress Dowager also felt that life was very comfortable, otherwise, she would be getting better and better for the children in front of her, because everyone was sincere. So she was reluctant to marry the gentle Jingwei, and she indulged the lively Xiaoqi to live like a boy. It's just that for Liu Rong, she feels distressed, because she can't do anything for her.
Just like this afternoon, she really thought of all kinds of methods, all kinds of methods were blocked, and she thought that it was a good thing for Liu Rong to have no mother's family, so she could only rely on her. Now it seems that a concubine who has no real maiden family and no power in the court has no right to speak in the palace at all. Even if she is the empress dowager, she has to bow her head under the right and sacrifice Liu Rong.
"Okay, everyone can't eat, you come and sit." The Empress Dowager finally waved her hand and asked Liu Rong to come over.
"Knowing that the ancestor can't eat it, Rong'er has already made a noodle soup himself, so the ancestor will give Rong'er some face and eat a little bit." Liu Rong smiled and turned around and said softly, at this moment, the noodle soup was delivered, and she had to taste it herself. She made it herself, and she would still try it herself.
It wasn't until the last dish was finished that she returned to the table.
"What's the matter, I haven't eaten yet. Rong'er seems to think that she has made the best soup, or this noodle soup. Alas, ancestor, all these years, you still haven't brought Rong'er over. Liu Rong was still coquettish to the Empress Dowager, as if it had happened in the afternoon, and it had never happened.
"Alas, okay, the mourning family has given up." The Empress Dowager chuckled, lowered her head and scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
According to the Tai Doctor, it is necessary to sweat in the summer, so that the moisture in the body can be discharged, which is good for the body. The Empress Dowager, like Liu Rong, doesn't like to move much, so she uses diet to adjust. So Liu Rong will communicate with the imperial doctor, for example, the Empress Dowager was a little hot yesterday, so today's noodle soup is made of mung bean noodles, and pear vinegar is added to the soup, and the whole bowl of noodles is refreshing and refreshing. Don't look like it's a hot noodle, but it's easy to whet your appetite.
"Really, your noodle soup is made into flowers." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but take another sip.
"You don't eat?" Jingyou saw that there was an empty bowl in front of her, in fact, she had always been an empty bowl, she was sitting here, just to accompany everyone, because she tried the dishes, more than a dozen dishes, and tasted the same bite, she was really enough.
"Eat! Xiao Qi, today's fish is good, you try it. The emperor also trys! She smiled and picked up the dishes for them. She is now in charge of the dining room, and she knows the taste of each dish and the taste of each person. Therefore, when she eats every day, she is actually serving vegetables for everyone.
"Eat!" Jingyou roared again.
"Yes, yes, go and serve me a bowl of noodle soup." Liu Rong smiled at him and turned around and ordered. Mei Niang went down in person, and came back soon, a small bowl of noodle soup, which was mostly greens, and of course there were a few noodles on the noodles, which was for Jingyou to see.
Jingyou knew that she couldn't eat it, he just lost his temper, and he didn't know why, he just wanted to make it. Seeing that Liu Rong didn't talk to him, she also knew that she was also tormented in her heart at this time, but seeing her like this, Jingyou was even more angry, threw chopsticks, and ran out.
Liu Rong actually knew the result when he saw the Empress Dowager and Jingyou come out, and now seeing Jingyou lose his temper like this, he understands it even more, and motioned for someone to accept Jingyou's dishes and chopsticks, get up and stand up.
"Ancestor, Rong'er is going to make some snacks for the emperor."
"Don't go by yourself." The Empress Dowager bowed her head and whispered.
"Yes!" Liu Rong nodded, it was really not a good time for him to go to Jingyou now. (To be continued.) )
