"Tsing Yi, I've always been confused, because every time I stay with Xiao Zhan, I can almost meet people in black chasing him, who are those people? Why did someone assassinate him? ”

Du Qingyi pursed his lips, thought for a while and replied:

"Hurry, huh? Who would dare to assassinate the crown prince of the dynasty? ”

Hua Qing felt incredible.

While she was pondering, the maid came in and said:

"Lord Qiqi, the Huangmen squire is out asking to see you."

Hua Qing didn't know what kind of official the Huangmen squire was and what he was responsible for, but she only knew that he was from the palace.

After the Seventh Prince and Du Qingyi went out, Du Qingyi turned back soon after, she was trying new tea, she felt that Fusang's tea was not very good except for the milk tea that Xiao Zhan invited her to drink that day.

"Anu, change your clothes, the Seventh Prince will take you into the palace."

"Into the palace?"

Why did you suddenly bring her into the palace? Before she could react, Du Qingyi had already turned around and went out, and the maids poured in from the outside in, pushing her to change clothes and freshen up, and when the maids finished dressing her up, she stepped out of the dormitory, only to find that the seventh prince had already changed into a purple python robe, wearing a silver crown in his hair, and his black hair was splashing. With red lips and white teeth, he is obviously elegant, but his behavior is dashing.

And her dress, she is a little indescribable, she is a little bit unclear, why the Fusang women's clothing is so biased in red, she is still wearing a red dress as usual today, but the style is a little more exquisite, the fabric is slightly better, the forehead ornament is also decorated with red agate, but there are some black gems mixed with it, and the weaving looks more fine.

Today's maids put on her the powder but there is a burst of fragrance, faint, very pleasant, the foundation of her skin is already very good, after applying rose pollen, the cheeks show a kind of peach blossom-like moisturization after the rain, very good-looking.

The eyebrows are made of distant mountain makeup, and the lips are as red as vermilion. The waist is slender, like a willow branch.

"Miss Anu, you are really a fairy."

"You Fusang, do you have any misunderstanding about fairies? How do I look like a demon girl? ”

Because she felt that the makeup that the maid put on her was too thick and too charming. Du Qingyi quipped:

"What a demon girl, you are so beautiful, beautiful but not glamorous, demon but not smelting."

Hua Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up when she heard it.

"I didn't expect Du Qingyi that you are still a cultural person."

The Seventh Prince was very happy.

Hua Qing took the seventh prince into the palace, because of the purple python robe of the seventh prince, she was wearing a big red dress, the color was eye-catching enough, plus what kind of person is his seventh prince, it has attracted the princess of Beiliang to run at night, and how many women in Fusang are worried, as the national beauty of Fusang, he is the object that Fusang women want to marry the most, so as soon as he appears, he is the focus of everyone's attention.

And Hua Qing, because the clothes are not palace clothes, so they are particularly eye-catching, because they are participating in a palace banquet this time, and the attendants have never seen an unknown person in civilian clothes, and she is as beautiful as a fairy, whether it is male or female, once the eyes catch a glimpse, it is difficult to look away.

"Seventh Prince, I'm almost smiling, why are they all staring at us."

The Seventh Prince reached out and grabbed her hand, holding it steadily, as if he was giving her courage, and then reached out and touched her face, and smiled softly at her, he didn't want her to work so hard. How much he wanted to tell her:

"If you don't want to laugh, don't pretend to laugh, you don't need to please anyone, just come to have a meal."

But Hua Qing couldn't know his intentions, her palms began to sweat, and the Seventh Prince shook her hand again, still with a gentle face, he heard that this palace banquet was very special, and now he also named the Seventh Prince to bring Hua Qing to the banquet, Hua Qing was already greedy, so he wanted to bring her over.

Hua Qing took a few deep breaths, she didn't experience much of a big scene after all, she was a little timid. When she and the seventh prince arrived at the dining room, she saw that Xiao Zhan and the crown princess had already arrived, and the two of them were talking and laughing and sitting on the table chatting, like a loving husband and wife, she remembered that night in the East Palace, the scene when the crown princess misunderstood her and Xiao Zhan, her heart was so guilty that she couldn't do it, and the sourness in her heart spread all over her body with self-blame, which made her ashamed.

The Seventh Prince felt that her face was not very good, and she looked concerned. Hua Qing shook her head softly and smiled faintly:

"It's okay, Anu hasn't been to this kind of dinner party, so I'm a little nervous."

The seventh prince smiled softly, and after he helped Huaqing sit down, the emperor led his favorite concubine in.

Then Hua Qing saw that everyone saluted, and she was the only one sitting still. She was so embarrassed that she just wanted to make a hole under the chair so that she could get in, and no one next to her could see her, because she was already ashamed of herself.

Just when she was worried, the ruler of the Fusang Kingdom did something that made her frown even more, he skipped everyone, walked to Hua Qing, and asked:

"This is Anu?"

Before the Seventh Prince could answer, Xiao Zhan spoke:

"Yes, he is a friend that Erchen brought back from the Central Plains. Because I can't understand Fusang, I ask my father to forgive me. ”

"Oh? Then how did I hear that she and Lao Qi ......?"

Jinshang was wondering, and Xiao Zhan explained:

"Father, Anu just went to the Seventh Emperor's Uncle's Mansion as a guest, that's all."

The Seventh Prince didn't explain, anyway, it was true that Hua Qing was a guest in his mansion.

Jinshang was a little suspicious in his heart, thinking that she was just going to the Seventh Prince's house as a guest? But how did he hear that the Seventh Prince had a new woman, and he was very favored?

What's more, the Seventh Prince has never provoked any woman, let alone brought a woman back to his mansion, if the Seventh Prince has nothing to do with her, it is estimated that no one will believe it.

"Father, to say the following words, is it the first time that Uncle Seven Emperors has taken a woman back to the mansion? Although Anu was brought back from the Central Plains by His Royal Highness, if the Seventh Emperor Uncle likes it, there will be no reason for our East Palace to hide her. ”

As soon as the crown princess's words came out, several ladies covered their mouths and laughed, and the roots of the seventh prince's ears turned red again, but poor Hua Qing didn't understand half of the sentence.

Looking at Xiao Zhan's nervous appearance today, as a person who came over, he could see that Xiao Zhan was quite attentive to this woman named Anu, if it was true that his seventh brother and his son had taken a fancy to the same woman, then how could this be good? Imakami couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He glanced at Hua Qing, who couldn't understand what they were discussing, so he half-lowered his head and made a humble appearance, but the appearance was indeed overwhelming.

"Let's have a seat!"

Today, under an order, everyone sat down, and the harem began to serve food one after another, and the favorite concubine poured wine for Jinshang:

"Today, today's chef is an elegant chef specially invited by the concubine from the Central Plains, this elegant chef is very particular about cooking, and the taste of the dishes is also unique, but the concubine has not been able to see him so far? Rumor has it that the chef has been covering his face, and he claims that if anyone guesses the question on him, he will show his true face to the person who guessed correctly. ”

The emperor drank a glass of wine, and the favorite concubine refilled it coquettishly. She continued to speak:

"It is said that he has traveled to several countries, and no one can guess the name of his dish, but our Fusang is a big country, and some are well-informed princes and ministers, so the concubine has the courage to set up a banquet to invite everyone to come over, one to taste the dishes made by Yipinya's kitchen, and the other to guess the name of his dish, and today will not blame the concubine for making claims, right?"

Although Emperor Fusang's favorite concubine is not as beautiful as a fairy, but her voice is straight to the heart when she speaks, Emperor Fusang happily hugged her into his arms, hooked her nose, and doted:

"Concubine Ai has done this very well, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I easily blame you."

The favorite concubine pasted it on him, smiling like a flower.

"Thank you."

Hua Qing never dared to raise her eyes to look at the emperor and the princess, in fact, it was no wonder that the emperor and the princess were sticky, because all the people present were family members, and they were in pairs, and the emperor heard Xiao Zhan say that Hua Qing was not the woman of the seventh prince, and he couldn't understand Fusang's words, and he regretted calling her a little.

Fortunately, Hua Qing couldn't understand their conversation, otherwise it was estimated that she would be even more restless. She asked in a low voice:

"Seventh Prince, what are they talking about today?"

The Seventh Prince tilted his head, but just smiled softly and shook his head. Xiao Zhan, who was sitting on the other side of Hua Qing, replied:

"The imperial concubine invited an elegant chef from the Central Plains, and the elegant chef never showed his true face to the world, and he insisted that unless someone could decipher the name of his dish, he would not show his true face."

Hua Qing nodded knowingly.

"The dishes of the Central Plains, you have to say the name of the dish, isn't it difficult for you Fusang people! Not to mention the dishes, but the raw materials, there are many foods in the Central Plains, or both countries, but the names are different, how can you answer? ”

The Seventh Prince just smiled gently, he didn't care if he won or lost at all, he just came to make up the numbers. Hua Qing saw that he was always just smiling softly, thinking that the Seventh Prince's mentality was really good, and he could smile like a spring breeze at any time.

But after all, she had seen Mo Huaijin a few days ago, and now the elegant chef is from the Central Plains, she clearly remembered that when she took the female virtue exam in the Central Plains before, it was Mo Huaijin who cooked for herself, and she began to feel vaguely uneasy in her heart. But after thinking about it, maybe I was amorous and thought too much. So inwardly struggling.

The seventh prince shook her hand in the audience and patted her, he thought that Hua Qing was probably the first time to come to such a scene, and he couldn't get used to it well. If he could speak, he would have said to her:

"Don't be afraid, with me, you can eat with confidence."

After the dishes were served, Hua Qing was dumbfounded when she saw the first dish, what the hell is this? Can you eat it? But it's still pretty good-looking.

There is a bowl of soup in a snowflake-colored vessel, the soup is clear, smell carefully, you can also smell the fragrance of chicken, it seems that the elegant kitchen uses chicken soup as the base, a fragrant wood in the basin is faintly dotted with a few plum blossoms, the fragrant wood looks like sandalwood, but the plum blossoms are too realistic, if you don't look carefully, she can't see that it is a plum blossom-shaped cake.

Hua Qing couldn't understand it, Gong E introduced this dish, saying that this dish was made of red and white plum blossoms and sandalwood mixed with flour, and the soup base was indeed stewed in chicken soup as she expected.

"Chef Ya said, the riddle is a poem."
