After solving the problem of the front division of the palace, Li Qi felt a little uneasy, receiving the holy decree in this year is really not necessarily a good thing, Li Qi doesn't remember what good things he has done in these days, but he has done a lot of bad things, playing the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the whole He Qing family, but this holy decree came so abruptly, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and while walking, he said to Liang Shicheng: "Lord Liang, did the emperor really summon me into the palace?" ”

Liang Shicheng said unhappily: "Deputy Marshal, what do you mean by this?" Do we dare to fabricate the holy decree? ”

"How dare you, how dare you."

Li Qi smiled, this is also true, at most, he will dare to detain the fold, and fabricate the holy decree is a capital crime! Since the holy decree is not fake, why is the emperor in such a hurry to see me, it won't be for me to mix with Master Liang, oh my God!

Li Qi didn't dare to think about it, and said worriedly: "Lord Liang, what is the emperor announcing that I am entering the palace?" ”

Liang Shicheng said impatiently: "Don't you know when you go?" ”

Day. You'll die if you say one more word.

Li Qi rolled his eyes curiously.

This palace Li Qi is really the first time to come, the high city walls stand tough, the sabers and guns of the Praetorian Guards are bright, the two teams of neatly dressed forbidden troops, the tiger's eyes sweep straight away, the majesty stands on both sides, the momentum is very majestic, every time you walk for a while, you will encounter a small group of patrols, on the surface the precautions are very strict. It's a pity that Liang Shicheng didn't give him the opportunity to visit, and urged him while walking, which made Li Qi depressed.

Li Qi followed Liang Shicheng to the door of the main hall in a daze, and after Liang Shicheng went in to report, he was led in by a eunuch, and when he saw the people standing in the hall, his heart sank, wow! What a battle! It's not all here to greet me, are they?

I saw Song Huizong sitting on the dragon chair in a yellow robe, with extraordinary momentum, and below stood Wang Hao, Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai Qian and other ministers, all of whom were high and powerful, and there was also a middle-aged man in a different costume standing opposite Wang Huang, who looked like an ethnic minority in later generations.

Liang Shicheng saw that Li Qi began to be stunned again, and quickly coughed lightly.

Li Qi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly saluted, "Weichen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." "But I was nervous, what the hell is this for? Don't scare me!

"Flat."

"Your Majesty."

Song Huizong glanced at Li Qi, and saw that his face was full of fear, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't expect that this kid was also afraid. He asked, "Richie, do you know why I summoned you today?" ”

If you don't say it, how will Lao Tzu know. Li Qi saluted and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know." ”

Song Huizong said to a eunuch on the side, "Give it to him." ”

"Yes."

The eunuch walked up to Li Qi with a tray and lifted the yellow cloth covering it, only to see that there were patches of snow-white, half-moon-shaped objects on it.

Song Huizong asked with a little nervousness, "Do you recognize this thing?" ”

Li Qi looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, "Bai Yan." He quickly rubbed his eyes again, and looked at it carefully, it was indeed Bai Yan, which was more expensive than gold, damn, it was the first time for Lao Tzu to see such a pure Bai Yan, it was not easy!

The man in a strange suit suddenly stood up and said, "This lord, the name of this thing is Yancai, but the name Bai Yan seems to be more appropriate." ”

Depend on! Bai Yan is also a kind of swallow dish, seeing that you are dressed like a hillbilly, Lao Tzu will not care about you.

Li Qi smiled faintly and did not answer.

Song Huizong was overjoyed and said, "Li Qi, have you ever seen this thing?" ”

This thing?

Li Qi was surprised: "Doesn't the emperor know about this white swallow?" ”

Song Huizong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen it. ”

No way. Isn't there a swallow in this year? That's right! When Lao Tzu went shopping, he didn't seem to see anyone selling Yan Cai, so it must be that Yan Cai is not popular yet. Alas, such a superb thing, no one even knows, it's really a tyrannical thing!

Li Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this thing is the best, it is hard to find, and it is even more expensive than gold." ”

The man in different clothes laughed again: "This adult is really knowledgeable. ”

Wang Hao said with a hint of disdain: "More expensive than gold? How is this possible? You're exaggerating. ”

No culture, no knowledge. Li Qi secretly despised Wang Huang and said, "Prime Minister Wang, how dare the lower officials have half a lie in front of the emperor. ”

Song Huizong was also very curious in his heart, and said: "Li Qi, since you are familiar with this thing, then you can tell me about this-this Bai Yan." ”

"Yes."

Li Qi bowed and said: "This white swallow actually belongs to one of the swallow dishes, and the swallow vegetables are mainly made of swiftlets and swallows of the same genus after eating small fish and seaweed in the sea, and the mucus, saliva and down feathers secreted by the stomach are built into nests and nests, which are generally built in the caves and cliffs of the island, and the nests are made of pure saliva for the first time, the bird's nest color is white and flawless, delicate and fat, the bird's feathers are very few, and the quality is the best. ”

"Not bad, not bad."

The man in different clothes clapped his hands excitedly, and said: "What this adult said is not wrong at all, this swallow dish is what our fishermen said from the cave on the island, and the fishermen ate it, their faces were ruddy, and they were full of energy, so they called it the elixir, this adult just looked at it, and he could tell the origin of this swallow cuisine, which was really extraordinary, and Gao Jie admired it." ”

Sweat! Isn't it just Bai Yan, you don't have to praise me so much, I'm embarrassed.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Where, where." ”

Song Huizong laughed and said: "Gao Jie, my great Song Dynasty is a brilliant spirit, just a few Yan Cai, how can no one know it, you say it is an elixir, you can't help but look too highly at this Yan Cai." ”

Gao Jie saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the official sentence is true, and there is no half-truth." ”

Wang Hao suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know what to say. ”

Song Huizong said: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Huang glanced at Li Qi slightly, and said: "If what Li Qi said is true, then this swallow dish is not made of swallows' saliva, and the emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, how can he eat these filthy things." ”

Song Huizong frowned, felt a little disgusted in his heart, nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is not unreasonable. ”

Gao Jie hurriedly said: "Wang Xiang's words are wrong, although this swallow dish is made of swallow spit, but it is absolutely harmless to people, I Dali Gao Cheng got this good thing, specially sent me to offer it to His Majesty, and I also hope that His Majesty will be Mingjian." ”

Dali's? No wonder she wears such kawaii.

Li Qileng paused, and glanced at Gao Jie slightly.

Song Huizong raised his hand to stop the two from arguing with each other, and asked Li Qi: "Li Qi, what do you think of what Wang Xiang said?" ”

Li Qi smiled slightly: "Weichen doesn't dare to agree. ”

"Oh?"

Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and said, "But you just said that this swallow dish is swallow's spit, how can you eat it?" ”

Li Qi said: "Your Majesty, the value of food, the key lies in whether it is beneficial to the human body, like honey also contains bee saliva, the emperor and adults do not often eat, this swallow vegetable is very beneficial to the human body, the value is not honey can be compared, it is a rare famous medicine, it can nourish the lungs and nourish the yin, nourish the stomach, nourish the yin, pregnant women can also drink the fetus, women can drink it can also be longevity, can cure all diseases, prolong life, as for the taste, it is incomparably delicious, unique. ”

When the ministers heard this, they gasped, and even Gao Jie was stunned when he heard it, and he only knew today that this swallow dish had so many benefits.

"If that's the case, it's really an elixir." Song Huizong's face was overjoyed, and he suddenly said curiously: "You said that this swallow dish is extremely delicious?" ”

"That's right." Li Qi nodded.

Song Huizong frowned and said, "Then why did I taste this Yan Cai, but the taste is light and unremarkable." ”

"Huh?"

Li Qileng was stunned and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, have you already tasted it?" ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Yes, I just asked the imperial dining room to make some, but the taste is really not very good, so I asked you to come and take a look." ”

Gao Jie was also very curious, and asked Li Qi: "Lord Li, although the people of my Dali Kingdom call it an elixir, its taste is indeed very ordinary. ”

Li Qi didn't know what the reason was for a while, if he was in the Drunken Immortal Residence, he might have fooled them a few more words, but the strict atmosphere here made him not dare to talk nonsense, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I can let Wei Chen take a look and see how that Yancai is made." ”

"Absolutely."

Song Huizong nodded, waved his hand, and another eunuch came to the front with a small casserole.

Li Qi looked inside, and saw that the pot was white, like white porridge, frowning slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, who made this Bai Yan?" ”

Song Huizong said: "This is made by the head of Zuo himself." ”

Brother Zuo did it, it shouldn't be bad.

Li Qi's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Your Majesty, can Weichen try it?" ”

"Absolutely."

Li Qi picked up the soup spoon and scooped a small spoonful into his mouth, tasted it carefully, there was indeed no taste, a slight groan, and he understood, in later generations, the general swallow vegetables were processed, and some white fungus and other materials were put in it, so there was a slight sweetness, but today's swallow vegetables are all natural, not only the taste is relatively light, but also with a trace of fishy smell. Even the emperor has never heard of this swallow dish, presumably Zuo Boqing must not have heard of it, the first time he did it, I don't know how it tastes, he definitely didn't dare to put the ingredients indiscriminately, it is estimated that it is to boil the soup directly, but he didn't expect that the swallow dish itself has no taste in the left elixir and the right elixir in Gao Jie's mouth, so that the emperor has a lot of complaints about the taste of this swallow dish.

What a waste of this Nima! Come on, I'll help you eat it.

Such a good thing, even if it doesn't taste good, Li Qi is reluctant to spoil it for these people, pretending to think about it, and tasting spoonful after spoonful.

Song Huizong and the others thought he was thinking about the reason, and they were all waiting quietly.

After a while, Li Qi finally ate this pot of Baiyan almost, smashed it a few times, and smiled secretly, after so many days of hard work, today is finally a big make-up, cool! He saluted and said: "Emperor Qi, according to Weichen's careful investigation, he found that this pot of white swallows may just be inappropriate. ”

"Oh?"

Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Then you quickly make one for me to taste." ”

Gao Jie didn't know who Li Qi was, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, can this adult still cook?" ”

Song Huizong and the ministers all laughed, if he couldn't cook, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty would be able to cook.
