Chapter 256: Your End

When the word reached the old emperor, he was shooting a lion with an arrow, and the crowd was screaming.

"What? You say that a hundred Praetorian Guards can't find Miss Li's shadow? Xuanyuan Jing put down the arrow and asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother passed the word, which means that a stick of incense has passed, and since you can't find it, then Miss Li has won."

"Hahahaha......." It was rare for Xuanyuan Jing to laugh so heartily, and said to everyone: "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

So they rushed to the Guogong Nunnery.

When I arrived outside the National Shrine, I heard everyone talking.

Xuanyuan Jing turned his head to Li Rao and said, "Your daughter, I have learned it. These words were meaningful, which made Li Rao's body tremble, and he bowed his head and replied: "The emperor has won the award." ”

While everyone was speculating where Li Changqing went, in a stove room in the Guogong Nunnery, Li Changqing was helping the cook cook.

"The people in the palace actually sent a palace maid over today, is it because there are not enough people to understand us?" The chef in charge was a man in his forties, chubby, fat and fat, and seemed to be very greedy, but his temperament was much kinder.

"Chef Zhou won the award, I also accidentally fell into the water and wet my clothes, the aunt in charge understood me, so she asked me to sit here and light the fire for you, in fact, it was also to let me dry my clothes as much as possible, and help Chef Zhou by the way." A clear voice, and from time to time there was a "giggle" laugh.

"I didn't expect you, the palace maid, the little mouth is too sweet, give it, take this piece of meat and eat it." As he spoke, he handed a sauce bone to Li Changqing.

Li Changqing is not polite, he has been soaking in the water for so long, even in the spring, it is still a little steeper, the water is cold, not to mention the cold body, this stomach has long been rumbling.

"Thank you." As he spoke, he rubbed his cold hands, moved closer to the stove, and took a bite.

Li Changqing couldn't help but start chatting with Chef Zhou again. "Has Brother Zhou been here all along?"

"Yes, every year the emperor will come for three days in spring and autumn. I'm used to eating the food I cook, and I can't change it. Chef Zhou said, cutting vegetables in his hands, and the knife is fast and accurate.

"Habit? How many years has Brother Zhou been here? Li Changqing couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hey, it's been eleven or twelve years, in the past, every time the emperor finished hunting, he would let me be the fox he specially hunted at night, and then take a concubine to ...... wine in the ear room next to the stove room."

"Wait, when did Brother Zhou say?" If this happens every time, why didn't you hear about it last night? Which concubine is it? Can Xuanyuan Jing value it so much?

"That is, the two years I just stayed, and now, every time the emperor comes, he will sit in the ear room next to him at night and drink alone, but he will never eat fox meat again." Chef Zhou is also strange, since the emperor no longer brought that concubine, he stayed in it alone for a long time every time. He didn't dare to ask, the dishes he made were all years ago, and he didn't let them change.

Every time the emperor came, he didn't even ask, he fried these dishes, served them and hurriedly retreated.

"Oh." Li Changqing nodded, quickly finished eating the sauce bones, and then asked, "May I ask what that concubine looks like?" ”

"Tsk, if you talk about looks, even if I haven't seen you for a long time, I have a deep memory, and it's a fairy that only exists in the sky."

Li Changqing immediately had a name in his mind, and he didn't say much, helping Brother Zhou quickly clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then someone came in outside to serve the food.

When serving the food, he sighed and complained: "Now it's messy outside, I heard that the prime minister's daughter made a bet with Miss Murong of Beixuanguo, but it turned out that it has been so long, and I haven't found it yet, and now I have sent someone to look for it. Hearing this, Li Changqing hurriedly asked, "The emperor has finished hunting?" Now it's all here? ”

The palace maid serving the dishes glanced at Li Changqing, looked at the eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you in the stove before? ”

Li Changqing sneered: "It's just a palace maid who came to help, can my sister talk about it?" As he spoke, he took a few side dishes, and then said to the palace maid: "Sister, don't worry, I'll help my sister, my sister will tell me about the outside by the way, I'm here this morning, and I don't know what's going on outside?" ”

The palace maid saw that Li Changqing was polite, but she was also happy to have someone to talk to, so she babbled a string, and then went out with Li Changqing a meal.

Li Changqing swam directly down the stream to the back of the Guogong Nunnery, and then went to the stove room while there was no one, fortunately, Chef Zhou was good, and he really thought that he was a girl who was in an emergency, so he chatted all morning. This is not Li Changqing just came out.

When Li Changqing and the little palace maid brought the dishes to everyone, the old emperor was asking Li Rao: "As a father, you should think about where that girl went?" ”

Li Rao shook his head and said, "The old minister is also anxious now, and he doesn't know where the little girl has gone. ”

And Xuanyuan Qi, who was not far away, saw Li Changqing at a glance, and he sent Tingge to look for it but didn't find it. She, what a ghost and elf, how can she comb her hair into the style of a palace maid now, if it weren't for the clothes that look familiar, he would have been deceived by her!

As soon as the evil eyes were raised, he stepped forward, stood beside her, lowered his head, sniffed her good smell and said, "You came out of the water?" ”

Li Changqing raised his head suddenly, looked at Xuanyuan Qi as if he was smiling, and suddenly smiled and said, "I won, didn't I?" ”

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Qi smiled lightly, the corners of her lips were doting, took the plate in her hand and handed it to the attendant next to her, reached out and quietly hooked her soft and boneless hand, and then pulled her to take the opportunity to leave.

"Miss Li?" A coquettish voice sounded, and she screamed tentatively.

Li Changqing paused, but did not turn his head. The other party didn't seem to give up, so he turned to the front, and then blocked in front of Li Changqing and Xuanyuan Qi, and exclaimed, "Miss Li! It's you! ”

Li Changqing looked up, saw Lin Zihan's exaggerated and surprised expression, and then felt eyes flock to her from all directions.

Xuanyuan Qi stretched out his hand to protect her, his eyes looked coldly at the nosy woman in front of him, and the afternoon sun was slanted on his body, making his silhouette appear more and more distinct and condensed.

Soon, Murong Beibei ran over and wanted to grab Xuanyuan Qi's other hand, but Xuanyuan Qi dodged back and said, "Since you lost, you can fulfill your promise." ”

These words rushed into Murong Beibei's ears like thunder on the ground, causing her body to stagger several steps at once.

Li Changqing turned around, followed the light of the sun, squinted his eyes, glanced at Murong Beibei and said, "The moment of a stick of incense, you lose, please disappear from here immediately!" Go back to your Northern Xuan Kingdom! Li Changqing paused word by word, and in the eyes of everyone, his tone was cold and indifferent, but it was undoubted.

"Girl Li, isn't it good to be so unforgiving?" Xuanyuan Jing, who was not far away, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the courtiers are justified that the courtiers have given Miss Murong enough face."

Yes, Li Changqing gave Murong Beibei enough face, let her show her foreign appearance in front of everyone, and then appeared in everyone's sight, so that she would go back to Beixuan Kingdom.

Xuanyuan Jing was choked by this sentence for a moment, then waved his hand and handed the mess to the Queen Mother behind him.

"Queen Mother, you are the judge, you can watch it."

"Since Miss Li was not found at the moment of a stick of incense, then according to the regulations, Miss Murong will be escorted back to Beixuan Kingdom now." The Empress Dowager naturally didn't want Murong Beibei and Xuanyuan to be friendly. She meant to ask Xuanyuan to die, not that the power around her was getting stronger and stronger, Li Changqing won this bet, which was exactly what she wanted, and with her hand, she eliminated a force behind Xuanyuan Qi, why not?

Li Changqing smiled lightly, walked up to Murong Beibei, and said as if nothing was there: "Miss Murong, this is the end of your two punches for me." ”
