The afterglow of the evening sunset is slanted on the sparkling river, Zhao Zhen looks at this scene of the sunset, and is deeply intoxicated by this magnificent scene, such a beautiful scenery can not be seen in the palace.

After Di Qing delivered the things needed for the barbecue, he led people to secretly guard five hundred steps away.

Li Ce was busy setting up the stove and wearing meat skewers, he didn't dare to ask Zhao Zhen for help, but he wouldn't let go of Zhao Qin'er, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines. Zhao Qin'er was also very curious about this barbecue, and as soon as Li Ce opened her mouth, she agreed again and again.

Zhao Zhen looked at the sunset where the water and sky met in the distance, he sniffed his nose and felt a tempting aroma of meat, and when he looked back, Li Ce was busy brushing oil on the meat skewers, and Zhao Qin'er was squatting aside, holding a pu fan in his hand and fanning the fire with a smile.

Zhao Zhen looked at the oily pieces of meat, and couldn't help but have a great appetite, and he also learned from Li Ce to sit down cross-legged.

"Well, it's so fragrant, I can't imagine you'll do this again? I don't know how you read the sages in the past. Zhao Zhen sighed with a smile.

"Wechen, this is called all-round development."

"Cut, don't be ashamed." Zhao Qin'er said sarcastically.

Li Ce was used to being ridiculed by her, and he didn't care, he picked up a meat skewer and handed it to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, how about tasting it?" ”

Zhao Zhen tasted it and exclaimed: "Well, the taste is natural and simple, no worse than the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace!" ”

Zhao Qin'er couldn't help but put down the pu fan in her hand, picked up a string and blew it gently, she ate a small piece and said, "Well, so-so, it's okay." ”

Li Ce looked at her impatient, where was it just so-so, her face was clearly written with the three big words "really delicious".

"Haha, Your Majesty, the princess will taste even better with this chilled wine." After Li Ce finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from a food box full of ice cubes in the back, which was filled with wine.

Once the wine is chilled, the bitterness is gone, and it is a fairy treat to drink a sip of sweet and cool red wine on this hot summer day!

Zhao Zhen only took a sip, and then couldn't help but say, "Li Ce, why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew such a good wine?" ”

Even Zhao Qin'er couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful, it's delicious!" ”

Li Ce had to smile and said in his heart: How do I know that you have wine and ice......

The three of them talked and laughed, pushed the glass and changed the lamp and soon drank a large bottle of wine, Zhao Zhen was still a little unsatisfied, but Zhao Qin'er's face was already flushed, at this time the night was already a general, and the flames beating in the furnace were illuminated, which became more and more gorgeous and moving, Li Ce peeked twice, remembering the beautiful scenery of the inn with her that day, and his heart moved, this girl is so beautiful, even if it is placed in the future generations, I am afraid that it is also the level of a school flower.

The three of them had almost eaten, Zhao Zhen looked at the sparkling river in the night, took a deep breath and said, "It's really easy to be like you, I sometimes envy you." ”

Li Ce withdrew his gaze at Zhao Qin'er and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I'm not joking, you're not in that position, you don't understand the troubles......"

Li Ce said in his heart: I really want to be in that position, thinking about the three thousand beauties in the harem, it's exciting!

Zhao Zhen didn't know that this guy was thinking about this at this time, he snorted heavily and said: "The Cangzhou Salt Farm in Hejian Mansion has been reported to be a prison guard for self-theft and illegal sale of illegal salt, the amount is extremely huge, I have sent an inspector Fan Zhongyan to investigate this matter thoroughly, you are responsible for protecting the safety of the inspector and cooperating with him in the investigation." ”

Li Ce was shocked; "Fan Zhongyan?"

"Yes, you know him?" Zhao Zhenqi said, no wonder Fan Zhongyan also pointed out that he wanted Li Ce to accompany him today, it turned out that the two had already known each other.

Li Ce smiled and said, "Oh, there was a one-sided relationship. ”

"Tell me about it."

Li Ce simply told Fan Zhongyan about the last time he beat the Liao Dynasty envoy in Fan Lou.

Zhao Zhen said happily: "So Fan Zhongyan is a rare good official who dares to come out, it seems that I have no one to trust this time." ”

Li Ce said in his heart: If Fan Zhongyan is not a good official, then there will be no good official in the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't imagine that I can walk with Fan Zhongyan this time.

"Your Majesty, where is Hejian Mansion?" Li Ce asked casually.

Zhao Zhen looked at him dumbfounded and said, "You, you don't know? ”

Zhao Qin'er also said with some disbelief: "What are you pretending to be stupid?" ”

"Minister, minister really doesn't know ......"

Zhao Zhen saw that he didn't seem to be pretending, and said with a smile: "Hejian Mansion is on Hebei East Road, aren't you from Zhending Mansion on Hebei West Road?" Why don't you know the capital of Hebei East Road? ”

Li Ce said embarrassedly: "Uh...... Wei Chen used to only read sage books, and his ears didn't listen to things outside the window...... "But there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, so he could go home and see Xian'er's girl on the way?"

Zhao Zhen has been with him for a long time, and he knows that this guy has never lied without blushing, so he smiled helplessly: "However, things are not so simple, the prime minister and others oppose you to take the position of guard, and the queen mother ordered you to compete fairly and the winner will be appointed." ”

Li Ce felt a fire in his heart, he first greeted the women in Ding Wei's family, and then said, "Then who are the candidates?" ”

Zhao Qin'er interjected: "It's okay for some people to let him play tricks, if you really want to test your kung fu, it's better to be less embarrassed......"

Li Ce glared at him fiercely, Zhao Qin'er glared back without showing weakness, Zhao Zhen saw that the two were vindictive, and he was very speechless in his heart, these two people are really enemies, Zhao Qin'er is a princess, and only Li Ce dares to ignore her identity and dare to quarrel with her, but he can also see that Zhao Qin'er also likes to deliberately tease Li Ce, so he doesn't say anything to stop it.

"Today, Du Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, once wanted to fight for the position of inspector, but was vetoed by me, he has a son who is twenty years old, I heard that he studied under a famous master, and his martial arts are very tight, maybe Du Yan will send his son to compete with you tomorrow." Zhao Zhen said.

Li Ce nodded and said, "Weichen knows, I will do my best to fight for it tomorrow." ”

Seeing Li Ce's serious appearance, Zhao Qin'er could see that he attached great importance to the task of guarding this time, and he also put away his teasing mentality and worried: "But you really want to compete with others, can you do it?" ”

If it was a day ago, Li Ce was really not sure, but now he has been washed by Master Xuantong against the scriptures, and has completely absorbed Guan Yiqi's forty years of pure skills, and in terms of strong internal force, it is enough to rank among the first-class masters at that time! So at this time, he actually had a feeling of eagerness to try.

Li Ce has already made up his mind, even if it is to go back to see Xian'er, he must win tomorrow!

On the other hand, in the Cining Hall of the Queen Mother's dormitory, Liu E was half-lying on a recliner, a little maid on the side was half-kneeling on the ground, gently pinching her legs, and there was a female Taoist priest standing in front of her.

The female Taoist is named Liu Demiao, who was introduced to her by Ding Wei after the Empress Dowager Liu's birthday. This Liu Demiao understands the method of health preservation, and what kind of Zhuyan Pill can be refined, Liu E is convinced of her, and she is summoned to the palace every once in a while to ask.

"Immortal Chief, according to you, the old man's headache is caused by fatigue?" Liu E asked with her eyes half-closed.

Liu Demiao smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, now that there are prime ministers in the court, why don't you take this opportunity to recuperate?" ”

Liu E suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Liu Demiao, there was a majesty in her eyes, Liu Demiao looked at Liu E with a smile on her face, she did not retreat at all, the majesty in Liu E's eyes gradually dissipated, she hesitated: "But the Taoist chief said that he would retreat for 7749 days, will this day be a little long?" After all, there are still many affairs to be taken care of in the DPRK and China. ”

Liu Demiao said: "Then, dare to ask the Queen Mother, have you ever felt a little glowing when you have taken Zhuyan Dan for this period of time?" ”

Liu E said with a hint of joy on her face: "This is still thanks to the credit of the Taoist chief, but ......" She said this, suddenly stopped, and said to the slave and maid who was waiting with a cold face: "You all go down, you are not allowed to come in without my orders!" ”

The slaves and maids went down, and there were only Liu Demiao and the Queen Mother Liu E in the entire Cining Palace...... The mourning family has not been close to men for many years, but I didn't expect it to be ...... in recent days."

Of course, Liu Demiao understands what the Queen Mother meant, in fact, the very important raw material in "Zhuyan Dan" is "actinolite", and the main role of actinolite is to warm the kidneys and aphrodisiac! Liu E now has a Zhuyan Pill every day, and after eating so many actinolites, it is normal to have a reaction.

In fact, the anti-Yan Dan itself has no anti-aging effect at all! It is mainly to promote a person's xingyu, relying on yin and yang complementarity to improve a person's spiritual qi, but this method can be used occasionally, if it is used continuously, it is tantamount to drinking to quench thirst, self-destruction!

Liu E had never taken such an aphrodisiac medicine before, and in fact, no one dared to prescribe such a medicine to her, so after taking it for a few days, she felt that her spirit had improved greatly, but sometimes she had a faint headache.

The imperial doctor in the palace, but anyone who has seen the queen mother is shocked! Because the reason for the Queen Mother's illness is actually caused by old age and indulgence! But none of the imperial doctors dared to point out this reason, the queen mother was still a lucky male pet at such an old age, and Liu E has always maintained her reputation, so she categorically would not allow others to know about this matter. If the imperial doctor had explained the reason to her, then the Queen Mother would not have killed them in shame and anger! Therefore, so many imperial doctors in the palace actually chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb at the same time, and they all pretended not to see the symptoms, but just prescribed some prescriptions to replenish qi and calm the nerves.

And this Liu Demiao is not a female Taoist at all, she originally had a husband named Nian De, although this person's name is Nian De, but what he does is not moral at all, he was originally a Jianghu Langzhong, and he sold some bluffing "strong pills" and other things, and later was sentenced to prison because he killed people and ate lawsuits.

After Nian De was arrested, Liu Demiao was alone and suddenly had no source of income, and after spending all the money on her body, she had to temporarily live in a nunnery.

This Liu Demiao is just thirty years old, and she is born like a flower and jade, how can she endure the poor and boring life of the nunnery, and under her loneliness, she actually attracted the male pilgrims who came to the incense! So that during that time, the nunnery where she lived suddenly increased in popularity, and many wealthy people from outside the staff "admired" to incense, and later the owner of the nunnery found out the reason and drove her out in a rage.

After Liu Demiao lived on the street again, she had to return to her old business to do her ex-husband's old business, after she wandered to the capital, she once met Ding Wei's youngest son Ding Xi on the street, Ding Xi was stunned by her flickering, and after going back, she recommended this "female Taoist" to her own Lao Tzu.

This Liu Demiao knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and took out the ability to fool the people in the past, and convinced the Ding father and son so much that he even entered the palace and entered the palace!

Yi Ding's shrewdness may not really be fooled by Liu Demiao, but he knows that the Queen Mother will definitely believe it, so he also chooses to "believe".

Liu Demiao saw that Liu E was still hesitating, swept the dust in his hand and said: "Poor Dao once met an immortal in the past, and once pointed out some health care methods for me. ”

When Liu E heard this, she couldn't help but look at her suspiciously, met an immortal? Could this female Taoist chief be talking nonsense? Liu E is not an ordinary old woman after all, although she is eager for youth, but after so many years of experience, she is used to maintaining a sense of rationality.

Liu Demiao saw that the Queen Mother was a little unconvinced, and smiled slightly: "How old is the Queen Mother guessing Poor Dao this year?" ”

Liu E looked at her and said, "The Taoist chief should be thirty, right?" ”

Liu Demiao smiled and shook her head, showing an unfathomable look.

Liu E said in her heart: Is there forty? But it doesn't look like it......

"Queen Mother, you might as well guess it bigger."

"Is the Taoist Leader already forty?" Liu Ehu said suspiciously.

Liu Demiao said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, the poor road is now in the year of the sixtieth year." ”

"What? You...... You're sixty! Liu E was startled and sat up suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Poor Dao doesn't dare to deceive the Queen Mother, Poor Dao was born when Emperor Taizu was in Kaibao for three years, and he is now a full sixty years old." Liu Demiao smiled.

Liu E saw her look like she was reminiscing about the past, and her heart was shocked, but more than that, it was a burst of ecstasy, sixty years old can actually maintain the youthful appearance of a thirty-year-old, if I also practice according to this method, I don't ask for thirty, but it is also excellent to be able to reach forty!

Liu Demiao stood aside, quietly looking at Liu E, and from the change in the expression on the Queen Mother's face, she deduced that the Queen Mother was thinking about something at this time.

"Ask the immortal chief to teach me this method of health preservation!" Liu E was sitting in danger and said to Liu Demiao sincerely.

Liu Demiao's heart was happy, the Queen Mother had already taken the bait...... But she still maintained that calm and calm expression on her face.

"The Queen Mother has worked hard for the people of the country, and the poor road is sent by God to prolong the life of the Queen Mother." Liu Demiao continued to bewitch.

Liu E nodded again and again, she is now bent on rejuvenating and restoring her appearance to her thirties and forties, so she is convinced of Liu Demiao, no matter what she says, she believes it now!

Liu Demiao said again: "Poor Dao carefully checked the days, tomorrow is a good day for retreat, seven hundred and forty-nine days later, when the time of the customs is the birthday of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good day, the Queen Mother is without further ado, let's start the retreat after fasting and bathing tomorrow morning, right?" ”

Liu E didn't think about it and said, "Then from tomorrow morning, can you recover to your appearance in your forties after seven seven and forty-nine days?" ”

Liu Demiao shook his head and said: "Aging is accumulated day by day, and the rejuvenation is not achieved overnight, these forty-nine days of retreat and cultivation are just the beginning, the poor Dao will arrange everything for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother can rest assured." ”
