Chapter 122: The two looked at each other

However, to Gaozong's surprise, Wu Mei did not thank him happily, but pondered for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be so angry, it has been so many years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, he didn't kill my sister and nephew back then, so it's okay to ask my sister's opinion later? ”

Gaozong was a little puzzled, but he wouldn't lose Wu Mei's face because of this little thing. continued to pick up the snack in his hand and eat: "Okay, Mei Niang said so, then listen to Mei Niang." I'll ask your sister later, and I'll make a decision. Your heart is still so soft. ”

Obviously, at this time, Wu Meiniang in her eyes is still a soft and weak little white flower.

Wu Meiniang was not embarrassed, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty."

In fact, how did Li Zhi know that Wu Meiniang did not want He Lanminzhi to inherit the title that originally belonged to him. What can a viscount do? I don't know how many people with this title of Datang there are, and what role they can play. But if you stay in Chang'an, this will not be the case, even if the imperial examination is bound to be stronger than inheriting that title in the future.

After a while, Wu Shun walked in with Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue.

Even if the three of them are stupid, they won't know who the man who can be so comfortable in Wu Zetian's room is!

Suddenly seeing the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire, he was so excited that he was secondary, and the most important thing was that he was a little afraid. He is also an emperor in moderation, an emperor who kills and takes away all life.

The prime minister saw the emperor and knelt less. But I have never heard of a poor man who can straighten his knees and refuse to salute when he sees the emperor. What's more, what is the situation today? They had been keeping Li Zhi waiting for a while. Seeing that he was eating snacks, it was conceivable that he was already hungry. Let the emperor endure hunger and wait for himself, what a big score he is.

As soon as he came in, Wu Shun was also startled, and without any hesitation, he quickly knelt down towards him, and by the way, he also knelt down with He Lan Minyue. After coming to Datang for so long, he really left his knees weak, and he knelt down without the slightest hint of resistance.

Before I came, no one trained myself and others in court etiquette, so I didn't know how to shout long live at this time. It's still an ordinary greeting. Looking at this look, you know that Wu Shun is not very clear.

So she only said in a very small voice: "The people's daughter Helan Wu has seen Your Majesty with her children." At this time, it saved Helan Minzhi and others from talking.

Gaozong didn't care, he stretched out his hand and helped him weakly: "Get up, sit down."

The Tang Dynasty's gift sat either a small stool was moved, or a maidservant girl took three blankets. After Helan Minzhi waited for thanks, he still sat on his knees on the ground, and he had to straighten his back, not to mention how tired he was.

Wu Meiniang smiled: "My sister entered the palace in a hurry, and she didn't have time to learn the etiquette of the noodle king, please don't blame Your Majesty." She didn't care. However, at first glance, Gaozong is not the kind of person who attaches too much importance to these red tapes.

"Okay, I've said it's okay, where is Hong'er? Don't come back so late? ”

"When I came to Jiucheng Palace, this kid went crazy, and he stayed in the palace on weekdays, just run here and look there. But after suffering from the gang of servants, he has the energy to accompany his tired back and legs every day. Thinking of his son, Wu Zetian has a maternal brilliance. Coupled with the fact that she was pregnant at this time, this feeling of love was even more obvious.

"That dinner will not wait for him. Let's pass the meal. Li Zhi waved his hand, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting beside him were busy.

Although it was not an overly grand banquet, there were not many people in attendance. But after all, it is the emperor who entertains guests, but there is no room for the slightest sloppiness.

There is no silk and bamboo wind music, because Wu Meiniang likes to be quiet after she is pregnant, so most of the music and dance in the palace have stopped. But the dish alone is luxurious enough.

Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian sat on the top, and Helan Minzhi naturally couldn't see their dishes. But it's scary enough to be here.

There is basically no beef in the palace banquet, and cultivating cattle is a scarce resource at this time. The agrarian society also attached great importance to agriculture, and even the emperor would personally whip the ploughing oxen when he was about to sow seeds in the spring, as a sign of his importance to agriculture. So naturally, the leader will not eat beef.

But others. Needless to say. Lamb is the main course, and there are two main dishes. Stewed, roasted. The stew is soft and fragrant, without the fishy taste made by ordinary people. Roasted. The golden butter is crispy, and I drool when I see it. The Tang people like to eat fish, and they are even more ingenious and varied about fish. But what shocked He Lanmin the most was this method in front of him, a plate was very beautifully decorated, and a thin layer of ice flakes was poured underneath. On top of the ice chips are several crystal clear fish fillets.

Even though he had already eaten it, Helan Minzhi didn't taste what it was. The little eunuch who was still waiting for the meal next to him stepped forward and whispered to him that this was cut carp, which was made of fish meat. Helan Min only reacted, this is the legendary sashimi.

It is no wonder that it is always said that Dongying originated in the Tang Dynasty, and later generations became very famous in the island country, and even spread the sashimi that affected the world, but it was actually transmitted from the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of pride arose, and I quickly clipped a few more chopsticks.

Of course, it is not only meat and vegetables, this palace dinner is half meat and half vegetarian. Green vegetables, which are rare all year round on weekdays, are not rare here at all. Paired with a thick soup and two steamed cakes, Helan Minzhi actually ate a little bit. The food in the palace really didn't blow out, no wonder so many people were vying to become emperors, and there was enough reason to eat it.

If Gaozong, who was sitting at the top, knew Helan Minzhi's idea, he would be angry and directly pull him out and cut him down. Well, being the emperor in love is just to eat.

The ancients kept rituals, and they did not eat or sleep. So this meal is extremely stopping, and Gaozong doesn't like to drink, so naturally there is no game to toast or something. After a simple extravagant meal, Gaozong spoke first.

"I've heard Mei Niang talk about your experience just now, I wonder if now you are willing to let your son inherit the title of the Helan family?" This sentence was obviously said to Wu Shun.

Suddenly asked like this, Wu Shun was also shocked, and he didn't prepare at all in advance. In a panic, he looked up at Gaozong and didn't know what to say. The scene froze all at once.

The two looked at each other like this, Wu Shun didn't know what to do, but Gaozong was also stunned, right?

However, Helan Minzhi secretly said in his heart that something was not good, and something was going to happen. (To be continued.) )
