460 Accompany Emperor Lao Tzu to the imperial meal
Looking at the splendid palace in front of him, the little Taoist priest sighed!
There are countless people in this world, who are crazy and crazy at all costs, and want to enter the power center of the Great Song Dynasty. But among those countless people, there is no way including the little Taoist.
Hey, I'm going, and I'm going to send baby Rou'er to someone else's arms with my own hands. How can you endure such a thing? If it weren't for Rou'er's request, Dao Ye and I wouldn't have done such a thing.
At this time, the morning has just come down. When the civil and military officials saw a Taoist priest strolling in the palace, some officials showed a trace of disgust on their faces: The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are too good to these Taoist priests. I don't know how much hardship I have gone through and what a price I have paid to be here. But look at him, how old he is! Just walk around here. Hmph, you don't need to look at it, you know that he is a pretending god and a ghost, a flattering person, and he has deceived an official and a half by fooling the official family.
Noticing that the little Taoist priest did not stop, he went straight to the inner court, and several officials stopped and waited gloatingly to see that the little Taoist priest who did not know whether he was alive or dead was taken down by the Praetorian Guards, and was given thirty lashes on the spot, and then thrown into prison for the crime of "trespassing in the inner court".
But they were stunned, and their jaws dropped when they were shocked, and the little Taoist priest didn't stop walking, so he walked in like that. The steps were leisurely, as if he was entering his own back garden. And the two rows of Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate turned a blind eye to each other, and just let him go in with charity.
I'll go, does this little Taoist priest know immortal arts? Did he use a trick? How could he!
Well, do you want to pour a bucket of horse manure on the head of this demon road?
Naturally, the little Taoist priest could not go straight to Kunning Palace like this, he obediently handed the red jade tooth card on his waist to the eunuch, and waited for Empress Yang to summon him in.
After a while, Ma Zhongshou came over and shouted in a shrieked voice: "Spread the sage's message, Zhang Tianyi, this muddy boy, also knows to come to see me." Okay, that's good, it's been more than half a year, and I haven't heard from me. Since he doesn't have this heart, what do you see him do? Where did he come from and go back? ”
Okay, the little Taoist priest was overjoyed, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Zhongguan!" ”
Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, the horseman was dizzy. He hurriedly grabbed the little Taoist priest and asked in a low voice, "The little fairy is leaving?" ”
The little Taoist priest said strangely: "Didn't the sage say that where did the poor Dao come from, and where did he go back?" ”
Ma Zhongshou smiled bitterly: "The little fairy is gone, and he won't come again?" ”
The little Taoist priest thought for a moment: "Of course you have to come." Wait a few days, ten days, and wait for the saint to dissipate his anger and come back to the poor road. ”
Ma Zhongshou slapped his forehead, only to feel really speechless. He persuaded: "The saint is just a little tempered now, if the little immortal does not quickly admit his mistake, the little temper of the saint will definitely become a big temper." It's really annoying to the saint, may I ask the little fairy, how many heads do you have? ”
The little Taoist priest thought, yes, the saint is also a woman, a woman, I understand. is like Xu Ruoxue, she made her angry, so she had to find a way to make her angry. If you dare to leave her there, needless to say, the Blood Sea Sword will be unsheathed with a "clang".
So the little Taoist priest said: "Poor Dao will come again tomorrow to ask for a meeting, and then please ask the lieutenant to report again." ”
Only then did Ma Zhongzhi show his face: "The little fairy is really a smart person. You'll have to come early tomorrow. ”
The little Taoist priest nodded, took out a town house spirit talisman from his arms, and handed it over. Ma Zhongshou took it and smiled from ear to ear.
Early the next morning, the little Taoist priest came to the palace. This time, Yang Hou said, "Wait."
But this is a day. From morning to dusk, there was only one palace maid in the middle, and she gave a steamed bun, which was still cold.
The little Taoist priest was not in a hurry or annoyed, so he meditated at the gate of the palace and practiced exercises.
Finally, Empress Yang summoned.
The little Taoist priest went in in a hurry, and as soon as he saw Yang, he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the saint seems to be a few years younger, how can I get it like this, it won't take a few years, but I will be younger than me." ”
When he blurted out these words, he saw that Empress Yang was reprimanding a concubine. The concubine couldn't help but laugh when she heard what he said. So Empress Yang glared at him fiercely.
Well, if you get into trouble, the little Taoist priest obediently waited aside.
I only heard Yang Hou say coldly: "Since you still have the heart to laugh, presumably this punishment is lighter." Then half a year's regular money will be exempted. ”
I think there will be a lot of money for half a year, because before the concubine went out, she glared at the little Taoist priest fiercely.
After standing for a while, seeing that Yang Hou didn't mean to speak, the little Taoist priest said with a shy face: "Sage, you have punished me for standing outside for a day, so there is no need to punish me for standing for another night." If you stand any longer, the poor road's foot will really be broken. ”
Seeing him so brazen, Empress Yang was also helpless, and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but your skin is a lot thicker." ”
The little Taoist priest sighed: "In just half a year, I ran from Lin'an to Chengdu, and then returned to Lin'an from Chengdu. I can't help it! ”
Empress Yang couldn't help but snort and laughed, and said angrily: "Poor mouth." If you have a point, I will spare you. ”
"Come, tell me about the interesting story of this trip."
Well, I'm good at that.
As soon as the little Taoist priest moved, he told Liu Qingyan's story. This woman's family, doesn't she like love, love, or something?
Sure enough, when she heard the emotion, Empress Yang was moved to tears. After being moved, she didn't believe it: "How can there be such an infatuated person in this world?" ”
The little Taoist priest shouted injustice: "Saint, the people in this story are all named and surnamed, if the saint does not believe, you can send someone to ask." ”
"Okay, I'll believe you."
Yang Hou sighed: "Hey, after all, yin and yang have different paths." Pity this kind of ghostly love, and in the end, it just turned into a resentment in this world. ”
The little Taoist priest also felt sad in his heart: "Yes, Qingyan is really, dying once is not enough, and you have to rush to die again, it's really stupid." ”
He felt these words, but unconsciously leaked the bottom, Yang Hou immediately raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Qingyan? is so affectionate, it seems that your relationship with this female ghost is really not shallow! ”
The little Taoist priest was taken aback: "It's just that we've been together for a long time, and it's like a family." Besides, yin and yang have different paths, and the poor road is not stupid, but there is this color guts, and there is no such color heart, right? ”
Yang Hou snorted coldly: "Hmph, men all over the world are like this, when I don't know, who are you going to Chengdu to meet?" ”
Miserable! Rou'er even said this. The little Taoist priest is stupid now, how dare he defend himself.
Empress Yang seemed to be a little angry, and said coldly: "Bring the beads, and then go back." ”
The little Taoist sighed in his heart, took out the ghost bead, and touched it on the white jade bracelet handed by Yang Hou.
Well, I haven't seen baby Rou'er for some time.
Putting the bracelet away, Yang Hou waved his hand: "You step down, leave your residence, and after a while, I will arrange for someone to notify you to enter the palace." ”
The little Taoist priest glanced at the bracelet reluctantly, and was about to retire, when suddenly his stomach growled.
After this sound, his stomach seemed to boil, and the gurgling sound continued.
Empress Yang was surprised: "I'm hungry like this." ”
The little Taoist priest stretched out a finger: "A whole day." ”
He stretched out another finger: "It's just a steamed bun, it's still cold, and there is no water yet." ”
He sighed: "Sage, I will retire first, otherwise I am afraid that I will starve to death on the way." ”
Empress Yang smiled, hesitated, and said, "Okay, it's just dinner time, you can go with me and have a royal meal." ”
Turning around, she instructed the horseman: "Go, talk to the official." ”
Imperial food, tsk, the little Taoist priest only felt that he was hungry in his stomach, and his saliva flowed out for a while.
Following behind Queen Yang, the little Taoist priest entered the official's dormitory.
The imperial meal has been set up, full of three tables, the table is full of dazzling, and you can see that everything is a treasure at a glance.
It was only after he sat down that the little Taoist priest knew that there was only one official sitting at the dining table. There was a table next to the official's house, and it was Queen Yang who was sitting. Yang Hou set up another table, which was the position of his little Taoist.
And at this table, there is another person, who is the minister of power, Han Yanxuan!
When Han Yanxuan saw the little Taoist, he was obviously taken aback and nodded.
Although the little Taoist priest was extremely wary of him, he didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly surrendered his hand.
After sitting down, looking at the countless delicacies on the dining table, and then looking at the empty table of his own table, the little Taoist priest secretly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, he could only endure it.
Fortunately, after a while, the official family rewarded a few dishes over. The little Taoist priest couldn't bear it, picked up the silver chopsticks, and couldn't wait to taste it. Well, it's really nice to look at, and it's a bit out of the name when you eat it.
Are all the imperial chefs in this palace from painters? Look at this dish, the little peacock carved with radish on it is really lifelike, and people can't bear to put down chopsticks when they see it. But I really ruthlessly sandwiched a piece of peacock wings, put it in my mouth and tasted it carefully, I'll go, isn't it a radish? It's also very light, and it doesn't even taste like meat.
But I'm so hungry that even the radish is fragrant! So the little Taoist chopsticks made the same as flying.
Eating heartily, the little Taoist priest suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked up, I went, Han Yanxuan was staring at him stupidly, the chopsticks in his hand were still raised, and he didn't even move a bite of food. And next to him, officials, saints, eunuchs, and palace maids all looked at him incredulously.
How can you look at people like this, the little Taoist priest is shy.
"Poof", Empress Yang laughed: "Official, this kid is ignorant, and if he makes me angry, I will punish him for standing outside for a day." After being hungry for a day, I was so hungry that I couldn't care about following the rules. The official family spared him this time. ”
The official nodded: "Well, forgive him for not being guilty." ”
Then he laughed and said, "It's the first time I've seen someone eat so quickly." Tsk, look at it and you know that it tastes good. ”
After speaking, the official also thoughtfully connected the dots with chopsticks: "This, this, this, all send it." ”
The eunuch shuttled back and forth, and within a few clicks, the little Taoist priest was full of vegetables in front of him.
Since the officials have said that they are exempt from sin, the little Taoist priest will not be polite, and after tasting a few bites of each dish, his stomach is finally not so uncomfortable.
Only then did he have the heart to take a sneak look, the emperor's dinner turned out to be like this. When he looked at it, the old eunuch next to him put the dish in the official's bowl. With such a dazzling array of dishes, the official family only needs to look at it, and the old eunuch can clip it exactly right, which is not trivial.
There is also this plate of dishes, the chopsticks in his hands are all silver, and the officials don't seem to be able to eat more of each plate. There was one official who seemed to like it very much, but before he had eaten two bites, the old eunuch waved his hand, and the little eunuch withdrew the dish to the very end.
The official simply used chopsticks, pointed again, and said "reward".
The dish was brought to the table of the little Taoist, and the little Taoist looked at the brand on the silver plate, but there was a good name for the dish, called "a little red in autumn".
Once you taste it, it's really delicious, you can't tell what ingredients are made of, but it tastes like meat and vegetables, smooth and refreshing.
So the little Taoist priest ate a fine light.
After eating, he nodded with satisfaction, but saw that the official family was looking at him, and there was still a little envy in his eyes.
The little Taoist priest sighed: I went and became the emperor, but it was not very good. Look, you can't even eat your favorite dishes.
