Li Er turned around and said to Du He: "Let's dine with me and the queen in the Wende Hall today, and then I will send a carriage and horse to send you back." ”

Du He originally wanted to refuse, after all, eating with the emperor and queen must be uncomfortable.

But as soon as he heard that Li Yuanshu and Li Li were there, Du He hurriedly agreed.

These two are already Duhe's wife.

I haven't seen you for many days, and I still miss it very much in my heart.

After a short time, Du He followed Li Er to the Wende Palace.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Li Yuanshu, the princess of Runan, and Li Liqing, the princess of Changle, from a distance.

The two of them were accompanying the eldest grandson queen, talking and laughing.

Li Lizhen is the eldest daughter of Li Er, and she is loved by thousands of people. Li Yuanshu is a concubine, but she is older than Li Liqian.

As for Li Yuanshu's biological mother, she died before Li Er became emperor, and she has always been taken care of by Empress Changsun.

Yes, Li Yuanshu and Li Li are like sisters born to the same mother.

Seeing Du He coming, Li Yuanshu hurriedly lowered her head shyly.

Li Lizhi glared at Du He: "Du He, it's almost dark, why don't you go home and finish your meal, what are you doing with my father?" ”

This sentence, Du He was speechless.

Li Er's eyes glared: "Liqing, don't be rude, today Du He accompanied me to discuss political affairs, it was late, I asked him to go to Wende Hall to eat together, why not?" ”

"Hee-hee!" Li Lizhi smiled cutely.

Empress Changsun immediately beckoned Du He to sit down, and said: "Du He, your marriage with Yuan Shu will be completed sooner or later, when you escaped from the marriage, the palace will no longer talk to you in detail, and it will be a family in the future, don't be restrained, sit down, today the palace specially let the imperial chef make the dishes that His Majesty likes to eat, if you like to eat, tell the palace directly, the palace let the imperial chef do it!" ”

Du He hurriedly sat down and said, "Thank you Queen, I'm not jealous." ”

Although Empress Changsun sounded stern when she spoke, there was a bit of doting in her tone.

All of this is thanks to Du He's curing of his recurring headaches.

Coupled with the box of donkey glue blood replenishing granules, Empress Changsun was completely impressed by Du He.

There are also Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi who talk about the benefits of Du He in her ears all day long, and after coming and going, their impression of Du He is naturally better.

Du He tried a few bites and found that the level of this imperial chef was not very good, and it was not even as good as the chef of the Lai Guo Mansion.

Looking at Li Er and the others, they were happy to eat.

He suddenly showed a strange expression.

Seeing this, Li Er asked, "Du He, why do you show such an expression?" ”

Du He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, I just thought of a rumor for a while. ”

"Oh, what rumors? Speaking of which, I and the queen should also listen to it. Li Er said with interest.

Duhe asked, "Do you really want to listen?" ”

Li Er and the others all looked at Du He curiously.

"Okay," Du He spread his hands, "It is said that there is a country in the West, called the Great Qing Kingdom, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom paid a private visit to the capital one day, and when he arrived in the capital, he saw his favorite dim sum on the street, and after taking a bite, he said curiously, why this dim sum is not salty, thinking that the street vendor selling dim sum deliberately sells fakes, and finally verified, it turned out that the imperial chef who made dim sum in the palace did not like to wash his hands!" ”

"Poof!"

Li Liqing, who was eating, suddenly couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

Li Er's face darkened.

Li Lizhi hurriedly wiped her mouth and said, "Oh, Duhe, you're so disgusting." However, this emperor is so pitiful, he eats this disgusting snack every day, hahaha......"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Du He continued: "One day, the emperor continued his private visit to Weifu, and saw his favorite bread on the street, took a bite, and was surprised, this bread is actually hot? And it's still hot and delicious. After a check, the dough cakes that the emperor usually eats are not made by the imperial kitchen, but bought by the imperial chef outside, and when they were brought into the palace, they were all cold. ”

At this time, even Li Yuanshu couldn't help laughing.

However, Li Er and Empress Changsun's faces became more and more ugly.

Smack.

Li Er put down his chopsticks and said, "Zhao Yang, go and check why the food cooked in this imperial dining room is not as good as day by day." ”

Li Er became aware of this matter a few days ago.

It's just that he hasn't taken it to heart, and after Du He said these two jokes, Li Er remembered that all along, he had never gone down to check what he was doing in the imperial dining room and what he ate.

In this way, wouldn't he be the poor emperor too?

As for the eldest grandson, Empress looked at Du He in great surprise.

It is said that Du He, the second son of Lai Guogong, does not learn and has no skills, which is a great harm to Chang'an.

Now it seems that the rumors are all false, where is this not learning, this is clearly a smart person.

In a short time, all the dishes were replaced and the dishes on the table were replaced.

Zhao Yang came up and said: "Your Majesty, Queen, those damn imperial chefs, I don't know where I learned to fight landlords recently, playing cards made of pieces of paper, playing all day long, naturally not caring when cooking, the servants have already ordered to go down, each person will receive fifty boards, and they deserve to be killed." ”

The re-served dish tastes much better than before.

Du He was eating, and when he looked up, he saw Li Lizhi on the other side who happened to be looking at him.

Looking at each other, Li Li's small heart was beating non-stop.

Du He smiled slightly, and made a flying kiss gesture with his left hand towards Li Liqing.

Although Li Lizhen didn't understand what it meant, she was shy all of a sudden.

So, she also returned a flying kiss to Duhe.

This small action fell into Li Er's eyes, and Li Er angrily kicked Du He under the table.

Then, Duhe was honest.

Seeing this, Li Li proudly waved her small pink fist at Du He.

After eating, Duhe went back.

Li Er asked Li Lizhen and Li Yuanshu to leave first.

After the surrounding people dispersed, Empress Changsun said: "Actually, Du He, this child is quite likable, and he is the son of Du Xiang, who is smarter than many of his peers, but once he marries Yuan Shu and becomes a concubine, then this life seems to have been decided like this, what a pity!" ”

Li Er understood what Empress Changsun meant.

Since ancient times, the royal family's concubine is simply an ornament, as a concubine, no matter how talented he is, he cannot become an important minister of the court.

One of the reasons is that the rule of the royal family needs to be stable, but most of the horses are the children of powerful ministers or families, and it is impossible for the royal family to let these horses hold important positions again, so isn't it uncomfortable for themselves?

Of course, the most important thing is that in ancient times, a horse was equivalent to a wealthy man, and how much a son-in-law could do.

Yes, the eldest grandson queen has this emotion.
