Sitting down solemnly, Qi Liang only knew what was called the imperial banquet, what was called the imperial banquet, a large table was covered with gold silk table sheets, on which there were gold, silver, copper, tin, jade, lacquer, porcelain and other precious materials made of various utensils, the style is unique, the decoration is gorgeous, there are not only daily plates, bowls, saucers, cups, there is also a cauldron with 5 brackets, it is oval, carved with eight treasure character patterns, it means auspicious longevity, it is very rich and magnificent.

With the eunuch's "pass the meal", more than a dozen eunuchs holding red lacquer boxes rushed in, and quickly served various dishes, steamed buns, flower rolls, dumplings, rice, pastries and soups, etc., after everyone was seated, the eunuchs first checked the test cards in each dish and soup did not change color, and then tasted to confirm that there was no problem, and then everyone moved chopsticks to eat together under the leadership of the Queen Mother.

Qi Liang thought that he would eat these tonight, who knew that this was just an appetizing hunger test, and then the large and small round dishes and square dishes were served one after another to be a big meal: first send shredded salted pork, five-spiced elbow shreds, shredded eggs, shredded duck in a cooking pot, fried spinach with shredded chicken, fried shredded pork with sprouts, shredded chicken with spiced chicken, and then send fried shredded pork with green leeks, steamed fat chicken deer tail, roast pork rolls, green jade uncovered sunflower box side dishes, enamel dish side dishes, a plate of salted meat, with pheasant porridge, wild duck porridge, red and white chicken stew, chicken soup and so on. It is really full of color, fragrance and taste, meat and vegetarian matching, salty and sweet, soup and rice are used together, rich in nutrition. Qi Liang was dazzled, if it weren't for the eunuch on the side, he might not know the name of a dish.

There are a lot of dishes, the table is very large, and if you want to eat the dishes diagonally, you can't reach them without standing up and walking a few steps, but how can Qi Liang have that mind at this time? Restrained with chopsticks, the two or three dishes in front of the door were repeatedly moved, he just wanted to end this sleepy night banquet early! The Empress Dowager and the emperor have eunuchs waiting, what they want to eat, the eunuchs will serve it diligently, Princess Jianning has the Empress Dowager's favor, and the bowl is also full, Kangxi glanced at Qi Liang, who was not in a high mood, and smiled: "What?" Not satisfied with these dishes? ”

Qi Liang said: "These are all Yuqiong immortal dishes that should only be available in the sky, and should be enjoyed by the Empress Dowager and the emperor's grace, which is already a blessing for all generations!" ”

Kangxi laughed: "Eat more if it's delicious, it's a chilled cucumber that's crispy and tender, come!" Give the forehead a plate! "A eunuch has already obeyed the order.

Qi Liang left his seat with his buttocks and bowed and said, "Thank you for the emperor's gift!" ”

Kangxi turned to the Empress Dowager and said to the Empress Dowager: "Imperial grandmother! You've got a dish too! He personally presented it to the Queen Mother.

Princess Jianning also smiled like a flower and said, "The emperor's mother! Jianning will take a bowl of corn for you! ”

The Empress Dowager opened her arms: "Don't patronize me, an old woman, you can use it yourself!" ”

"Speaking of this corn flower, I remember that the emperor once took medicine when he was cold!" The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi lovingly, and recalled with interest, "That medicine is bitter! The emperor refused to drink it, and then he cried and cried for a mouthful of corn and a mouthful of medicine to drink before he would stop! ”

Everyone laughed, and Kangxi was ashamed: "That corn is sweet!" ”

At the banquet, everyone respected each other, and from time to time said some interesting things in the past, and they were happy, but Qi Liang was difficult to integrate into it, but seeing Kangxi and Princess Jianning showing all kinds of childlike attitudes in front of the Empress Dowager, there was a lot less awe of Kangxi in his heart, isn't he just a young man who has just grown up!

Xi Bi, it was already a starry sky, Kangxi grabbed Qi Liang to go for a walk in the garden, Qi Liang glanced at Kangxi who was side by side with him, the two of them were generally tall, but their body numbers were much larger. Kangxi walked slowly and casually, "Is your body fine?" ”

Qi Liang took a step back, bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie cares, Ying Xiong is no longer in trouble, but his head sometimes hurts, and he often forgets things!" He just used this to set up an ambush for his possible exposure.

Kangxi said: "I originally wanted to go to see you, but I couldn't go because of the ancestral law in the palace." By the way, did you take the medicine that I asked the imperial doctor to send you? ”

Qi Liang didn't know that there was such a thing, he guessed that this should be what happened in the days when Wu Yingxiong was in a coma, and said without hesitation: "Eat!" Thanks to the saint Hongfu, Ying Xiong recovered after taking the medicine sent by the imperial doctor! ”

Kangxi nodded slowly, turned around abruptly, and said coldly: "I heard that Eyu went to Yixiang Courtyard in the afternoon!" ”

Qi Liang was shocked, took a step back, and said in a panic: "Ying Xiong was stabbed again in Yixiang Courtyard in the afternoon, and Ying Xiong has already reported this matter to the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion!" "What happened in Xiangyi Courtyard is only a little more than an hour away, and it should not be in the hands of the emperor if you go through the normal procedures, which shows that Kangxi has another source of news.

Kangxi snorted: "Don't you want to die?" I met a few days ago, and today I went to Yixiangyuan again! ”

Tianwei is inviolable, the emperor's face has become faster than turning a book, Qi Liang has seen the majesty of the Son of Heaven, he no longer dares to look at Kangxi as a young man, and said sneeringly: "If Ying Xiong is assassinated, if the gangsters cannot be arrested, Ying Xiong is restless, so he lures the enemy with his body!" "He lied like drinking water.

Kangxi took a look, you Wu Dog Bear is luring the enemy with your body, I'm afraid you are going to be merry and happy! It's really that Aunt Jianning is not worth it, and said in a tone that is not allowed to resist: "I will urge the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion to handle the matter of arresting the murderer, so you don't have to worry about it!" ”

Qi Liang said: "Yes! ”

Kangxi softened his tone: "That kind of land where the fence is mixed with people and snakes, and the forehead should be less!" He turned around and walked a few steps forward, and then asked casually, "I heard that someone wanted to talk to him privately, is there such a thing?" ”

Qi Liang was drenched in cold sweat, but fortunately he didn't go to meet with the third prince of Nazhu at that time! At this time, he already knew that not only there were Kangxi's people in Yixiang Courtyard, but even Kangxi's people around him, and his every move was under Kangxi's surveillance.

"At that time, there was a man who wanted to meet with his subordinates, but his subordinates ignored him!" Qi Liang didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.

Kangxi turned around, stared at Qi Liang with eagle-like sharp eyes, and asked, "Do you know who that person is?" ”

Qi Liang was stared at for a while, but he said with a straight face: "That kind of rat who hides his head and tail Ying Xiong doesn't bother to pay attention, I don't know who he is!" ”

"Really?" Kangxi asked.

"Ying Xiong doesn't dare to have the slightest falsehood!" Qi Liang didn't dare to look at each other, and bowed down.

"Hmm!" Kangxi snorted, "The forehead has not fully healed, so let's step down and rest early!" ”

Qi Liang thanked him and retreated, ran back to Cining Palace to kneel to the Empress Dowager, and then returned to the house, and when she left the palace, Princess Jianning went to see her off.

As soon as the two of them left, the Empress Dowager asked Kangxi: "What does the emperor think?" ”

Kangxi said: "The forehead is different from usual! But the country is difficult to change, and his temperament is difficult to change, and he still can't forget his merry and happy life! ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, and said solemnly: "Have you thought about it?" It refers to the cutting of the feudal domain.

Kangxi said firmly: "Think about it!" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said earnestly: "You need to be cautious and cautious!" Don't make your own decisions, let the courtiers speak! ”

Kangxi was taught and responded: "Please rest assured that the imperial grandmother will save your grandson!" ”
