Chapter 185: The Rainstorm Comes
It's time to come!
Elegy's heart sank, and she tried to make her expression look natural, but her slightly trembling fingers revealed all her emotions.
Luo Yanchuan noticed her trembling shoulders, although her eyes were covered by broken hair, he could imagine the panic in her eyes, he approached her and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, everything is with me." ”
Elegy came back to her senses, Luo Yanchuan's voice was like a powerful tranquilizer, which calmed her heart down suddenly, she smiled at Luo Yanchuan and said gratefully: "Thank you." ”
Yes, as long as Luo Yanchuan is here, it will definitely be fine!
She took a deep breath, and the two of them walked into the Tai Chi Hall together.
As soon as they entered, the two of them bowed first, and the emperor was in the hall reviewing the recitals, and when he heard their voices, as if he had only known that they had come in, he raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and then continued to review his recitals.
His expression was faint, and he couldn't see the joy or anger, but Elegy felt that it was like the calm before the storm, and she opened her mouth, intending to have a showdown with the emperor immediately.
But the emperor asked first, "Have you had lunch?" ”
"Huh?" Elegy was stunned, what is the situation? Is now the time to mention this?
But when the emperor asked so, she naturally had to answer, because of her weak heart, she was very well-behaved at the moment, and said, "I haven't ...... yet."
Because I have been waiting outside the Taiji Hall for a while, it is now past the meal.
"Neither did I." The emperor folded the music together, stood up, and smiled at the two of them: "In this case, why don't we eat first." ”
Is it time to eat?! Elegy roared in her heart, she was already nervous to die, how could there be that leisure! Although his heart is already surging, his elegiac expression is still very well-behaved.
She endured it, but she couldn't hold back the impatience, and said: "Father, in fact, the son is a ......."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after eating." The Emperor dismissed the elegy as if it were an understatement.
Elegy couldn't help it, and glanced at Luo Yanchuan. Seeing that his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, his eyes looked at the emperor, and he didn't know what he was thinking, the elegy called him. Didn't come back to their senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Elegy worried, he won't start to coax too, will he?
Luo Yanchuan was stunned for a moment, but also came back to his senses, smiled at the elegy, and said, "I'm fine." Since His Majesty let us eat, then just eat, and the king's order cannot be violated. ”
Can't you do that with me? Elegy secretly complained.
The three of them had lunch in the side hall, the emperor's expression was quite normal, and he treated Luo Yanchuan kindly, so he let him sit together.
It's just that the three people at the dinner table have their own ghosts, and no matter how delicious the food is, it becomes tasteless in the mouth.
When a roast duck was presented, the emperor broke the embarrassment, and he said with a smile: "I haven't seen Pingning for many days, and that girl has started business." What kind of roast duck restaurant opened to play, it's really a plaything Shangzhi. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head as if he hated that iron could not become steel.
After a pause, hearing the plaything Shang Zhi in the emperor's mouth, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved for Pingning, Pingning hadn't entered the palace for a long time, but the emperor never took the initiative to summon her, let alone care about whether she was doing well in Du Mansion.
Does Pingning open a roast duck restaurant to play? She can't live anymore and has no other way, but she is said to be playing!
Does he really not know what is going on in Pingning? It's not like that, the imperial city is full of the emperor's earline. How could he be ignorant of Pingning's affairs, but he pretended not to know anything, is this what a father should do?
It is said that since ancient times, kings have been affectionate, but they can face their own daughters. It's all so ruthless, it's too chilling, she thinks that if she confesses her and Luo Yanchuan to the emperor later, will the emperor be so angry that he will cut her?
Thinking like this, Elegy suddenly became nervous.
The emperor didn't think as much as the elegy thought, and he ordered someone to slice the roast duck. Then he said to the elegy: "This roast duck is freshly roasted, look, it is still steaming, and the way to eat it is quite novel, only eat duck skin, but this duck skin is crispy and refreshing, fat but not greasy, you can also taste it." ”
Elegy picked up a piece of duck skin with chopsticks, picked up the dough on the side with ease, wrapped the duck meat, and ate a bite, sure enough, it was still hot, and even a little hot, she remembered that this kind of roast duck needs to be baked in a special stove, and there is definitely no one in the palace, so to speak, this duck was specially sent from the Quande roast duck restaurant.
She remembered that the Quande Roast Duck Restaurant was not close to here, and in order to eat a good steaming duck, she had to put a lot of effort into Pingning.
Didn't the emperor think about taking this opportunity to let Pingning return to the palace?
When the emperor saw that Luo Yanchuan was slow to move the dishes on the table, he smiled, "Why doesn't Aiqing eat it?" ”
"Chen's appetite has been bad lately." Luo Yanchuan replied decently, he stared at the table full of delicacies, as if he had seen a table of poison, and he was very jealous.
"Bad appetite?" The emperor glanced at him with a smile, "If you don't have a good appetite, you can't stop eating, the weather has been getting cold recently, is it cold stomach, I will let someone make you some stomach-warming porridge." ”
Saying that, the emperor was about to call someone, Luo Yanchuan hurriedly stopped it, and said, "The minister is okay, thank you for your concern." ”
He picked up a piece of green vegetables with his chopsticks, but he didn't put it in his mouth immediately, his hand movements paused slightly, his eyes were fixed on the green vegetable, and he looked at it carefully, like there was something on the green vegetable.
The emperor sitting directly across from him squinted at him for a while, his eyes glanced at the green vegetable lightly, and said, "Why doesn't Aiqing eat it?" I'd better have someone prepare something else for you, shall I? ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister likes these meals very much." Luo Yanchuan said respectfully, but put the greens in the bowl.
The emperor's eyes followed the green vegetables to Luo Yanchuan's bowl, his eyes flashed, and finally the chopsticks moved, and he also twisted a piece of green vegetables, put it in the elegiac bowl beside him, and said: "Emperor, don't just eat meat, eat more green vegetables." ”
"Eh......" Elegy was suddenly named, and she was a little surprised, didn't he tell her to eat more roast duck just now? Now they say don't patronize and eat meat, they all say that your heart is unpredictable, but this is too unpredictable!
Is the emperor a little too lenient? She couldn't help but slander, but no matter how much slander she had, she didn't dare to say it directly to the emperor, but said respectfully: "Yes...... Father. ”
As he spoke, he put the greens in his mouth.
Luo Yanchuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his chopsticks pressed on the table all of a sudden, making a crisp "pop" sound.
Elegy was frightened by the voice, she didn't have time to close her mouth, and was surprised to see Luo Yanchuan with a nervous face, thinking that something had happened, but because the emperor was still by her side, she was still a little restrained, just sat in place, and asked softly: "General Lu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Minister...... Nothing. Luo Yanchuan glanced at Elegy nervously, but saw that she was not in a strange situation, but even so, his heart still did not let go, twisted the green vegetables in the bowl and put them in his mouth.
It's like chewing wax.
He inadvertently met the emperor's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, but his eyes were like poisonous snakes, which made Luo Yanchuan 120,000 vigilant, this meal was indeed a Hongmen banquet.
For the rest of the time, Luo Yanchuan had been observing the elegiac reaction, only to see that she had tasted all the dishes, and nothing happened, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that there was no drug in the meal, and it is right to think about it, the emperor attaches so much importance to elegy, how can he let her take risks?
He didn't eat just now, because he was afraid that the emperor would have other thoughts.
Outside the palace, Wei Xianzhong's reaction clearly told him that the emperor already knew what happened to him and Elegy, and as for whether he knew it in detail, it would not be enough, but even then, the emperor would not allow it, which was equivalent to challenging his authority again, which was a big taboo for the king.
Why did they let them eat before the showdown, it can only be said that this is the calm before the storm.
After a meal, countless thoughts flashed in Luo Yanchuan's mind, and he was always afraid of the emperor.
At the end of the meal, the emperor smiled and asked the elegy who was still wiping his mouth, "Is the food still delicious?" ”
"Back to my father, the food is delicious." Didn't you see that she just ate a lot?
It's not that the food is really delicious, but as soon as the elegy was nervous, I couldn't help but do something to divert my attention, so I had to shift all my focus to the food, and now my stomach is still a little uncomfortable.
"What about Aiqing?" The emperor asked Luo Yanchuan on the other side again.
Of course, the answers are all official, and there is nothing wrong with them.
The Emperor nodded, his eyes swept over the two of them, and cut to the point, "What are you doing here to find me?" ”
Here it comes! Elegy and Luo Yanchuan glanced at each other, and finally Luo Yanchuan replied: "Your Majesty, can you go to the main hall to talk again?" ”
This request is not excessive, plus since the end of the meal, the emperor's mood seems to be quite good, he smiled, "Just according to what Aiqing said." ”
To the main hall, the emperor sat on his dragon chair, in front of him was a mountain of high folds, the elegy was a little stunned, if she remembered correctly just now, the folds on the table were basically handled by the emperor, how could it be so high to eat?
She remembered that she had seen Ning Yuanxing in the office, and there were also a lot of official documents, and she was still complaining that the emperor threw all the burden to Ning Yuanxing, but now when she sees it, it is not easy.
While she was in her fugue, the Emperor began to look at his recitals and asked, "If there is anything, you can tell me." ”
Elegy hurriedly came back to her senses, she saw that Luo Yanchuan was about to speak, so she pulled his sleeve, it was better for her to talk about this matter first.
Elegy coughed lightly and said, "Father, about what you told Erchen the day before yesterday, Erchen has already thought about it. ”
"Oh? You promised? The emperor didn't look up, and his tone was light.
But such a flat voice made Elegy even more nervous, she rubbed her sweaty hands, and whispered, "It's not ......"
"Isn't it?" The emperor's movements paused, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes turned out to be a little fierce, and his elegiac heart beat the drum, but he still held back the uneasiness in his heart and said firmly: "No." (To be continued.) )
