Chapter 137: The Imperial Icemaker

Luo Shuangyi has practiced this bartending action hundreds of times, and he can already concoct it with his eyes closed.

Today, all the important civil and military officials of the dynasty were present, and Luo Shuangyi also deliberately showed off his carving, and in the amazement and exclamation of everyone, he made a cup of ice wine that was breathtaking.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

After Alawu finished drinking, he didn't think of what words to use to praise Luo Shuangyi's surprise to him, so he said three good words in a row.

It's just that when I think that I will not be able to drink such delicious wine when I return to Xiwang in the future, Alawu instantly felt a little lost in his heart.

The little emperor could see at a glance that the envoy was in a bad mood, and hurriedly asked in a very respectful voice, "But what's wrong with the wine?" Why did the messenger look sullen? ”

Alawu looked at the crystal clear wine glass in his hand and shook his head: "The emperor doesn't know, although I have tasted such a delicious ice wine from your country today, but when I think of going back in the future, I will never be able to drink such a delicious ice wine again, and this ice wine is not delicious when I drink it in my mouth." ”

When the little emperor heard this, he frowned, this is indeed a problem that is not easy to solve, and this ice wine is still best made directly on the spot, not suitable for long-distance transportation.

Lu Huaiyu heard the voice of the envoy, coughed weakly twice, and hurriedly walked out: "Back to the emperor, the minister has a plan, but it can satisfy the envoy's desire to drink ice wine after returning to China." ”

When the little emperor heard this, he became interested, and hurriedly said, "Tell me about it." ”

The time is ripe, and they really need this cooperation from Xiwangguo, so this time, they must coax this envoy no matter what.

"Back to the emperor, this ice wine is not suitable for long-distance transportation, it can only be made on the spot, why not let Miss Luo be the ice wine master of the two countries, cough cough...... Teach this method of making ice wine to the people of Xiwangguo, so that when the envoy returns, cough cough...... If you want to drink it, you can drink ice wine anytime, anywhere. ”

After saying that, he coughed again, which made people think that this person was really weak to this point.

When the little emperor heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and was about to agree, but the face of the queen mother next to him sank: "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, Miss Luo is still guilty at this time, how can she take such an important responsibility?" ”

Lu Huaiyu didn't give an inch: "Ahem...... Dare to ask the Queen Mother, what did Miss Luo do? ”

The Queen Mother stared at Lu Huaiyu coldly with a pair of eyes, this person was clearly deliberately against herself, Luo Shuangyi made the emperor drunk because of the ice wine, this is a nonsense charge, where can he get it to the court and discuss it with everyone?

"Oh? I also heard that Miss Luo was locked up in a prison before, please ask the emperor, what did Miss Luo do wrong, if it is not very serious, can you ask the emperor to forgive this woman, because I really love to drink the ice wine she made. ”

Although he has also been to this Bing Lou, the ice wine made by those Xiao Er is still a little bit worse than the taste of Luo Shuangyi, and the action is not as good as hers.

When the queen mother heard the envoys say this, it was naturally not good to hold on to this matter again, so she glanced at the emperor, and after the emperor understood the queen mother's eyes, he hurriedly spoke: "Since the envoys have opened their mouths to intercede, then I will let her go today." ”

After a pause, the little emperor looked at Luo Shuangyi: "Regarding the matter that Lu Shizi just said about the ice wine master, are you willing to serve as the one?" ”

Luo Shuangyi knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all, if her identity was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if the Queen Mother wanted to move herself in the future, she would have to consider her identity first.

Although she already had an idea in her heart, she couldn't nod her head directly, but turned to look at Lord Luo who was standing behind her: "This matter still needs to be decided by Daddy." ”

Seeing that his daughter was giving himself face like this, Prince Luo knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he hurriedly smiled and thanked the emperor for his gift.

Since Prince Luo had already agreed, Luo Shuangyi naturally had no reason to refuse, so he immediately bowed to the emperor: "The courtiers will live up to the emperor's trust and complete this matter with all their hearts!" ”

For a while, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Lord Luo suddenly spoke up again: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to ask for!" ”

Seeing that the cooperation between the two countries had been smooth, the little emperor was praised by the envoys, so he said easily: "Say." ”

Lord Luo said respectfully: "Yi'er is the concubine of my Luo Wangfu after all, although she is adhering to the emperor's will to be this ice wine master, but the people in this capital are terrible, and the old minister is worried that it will affect Yi'er's reputation, and besides, Yi'er is just a woman after all, and the old minister asks the emperor to send more maids to Yi'er to protect Yi'er's safety." ”

Luo Wangye's consideration is indeed very reasonable, if Luo Shuangyi is a friendly envoy between the two countries, then this safety is naturally very important.

The little emperor glanced at the Queen Mother beside him, and saw that there was no refusal in the Queen Mother's eyes, so he nodded and said, "I'm right!" ”

After getting the identity of the ice wine master, the envoy immediately smiled at Luo Shuangyi and said, "Then I will congratulate Miss Luo first!" ”

"Thanks to the envoys, the little girl can get this good reputation, and in the future, please bear with the envoys!"

"It's hard to say, but you must teach our people how to make ice wine, otherwise, I won't leave!"

Although the envoy was very surprised by Luo Shuangyi, he also saw that he was just a teenage girl, and after the initial amazement passed, he didn't have much thought, but he just felt that this little girl was not only beautiful, but also good at mixing good wine.

Luo Shuangyi came out of the palace so easily, and the old lady who received the information in advance, Aunt Liu and others were already waiting for Baba at the gate of King Luo's mansion.

When the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the mansion, the eyes of the two were full of excitement that could not be concealed, and as soon as Luo Shuangyi walked down, what he saw was the eyes of the old lady and Aunt Liu who were crying with joy at the same time.

"Quick, cross the brazier!"

Luo Shuangyi looked at the pot of fire placed at the door, and without hesitation, she raised her foot and collapsed from above, and Aunt Liu held a water-stained mugwort leaf in her hand and slapped Luo Shuangyi's body a few times.

It's just that she hasn't seen her for two days, and Luo Shuangyi can clearly notice that the old lady has aged a lot between her eyebrows and eyes in the past two days, and her heart is suddenly a little sour, and her eyes involuntarily turned red: "Grandmother, it's Yi'er's unfilial piety, which makes you worry!" ”

"What kind of stupid thing to say, just come back, just come back! Let's go, get back inside. ”

The old lady pulled Luo Shuangyi into the house, and the family left happily, Luo Yingxue looked at herself who had been completely ignored from beginning to end, and a pair of teeth almost bit the corners of her lips.

Sheng Xia stood beside Luo Yingxue and said in a low voice, "Miss, let's go in too, shall we?" ”

Luo Yingxue glared at Midsummer angrily, raised her feet and went directly to her Frost Courtyard.

In recent days, the temperature has suddenly risen unusually, and it is so hot that the little emperor has to live with ice cubes every day in the palace.

The Queen Mother came to see people several times, but she saw the little emperor lying listlessly on the couch, and the maid next to her was fanning him with a basin of ice.

Even so, the little emperor's body still fell ill unbearably, and after the imperial doctor came to see him, he said that it was because the weather was too hot to cause heat stroke.

"Since it's heat stroke, let's find a good place to escape the heat and let the emperor spend this year's summer heat."

The Queen Mother gave an order, and the people in the palace immediately got busy and began to prepare for leaving the palace.

On the outskirts of the capital, there is a summer resort, called Qingzhu Villa, this place, warm in winter and cool in summer, the scenery is very beautiful, it is a good place for vacation.

When the people below reported this place to the Queen Mother, Taihu Lake decided to go directly to this place without hesitation.

Looking at the busy palace people, the Queen Mother was lying on the couch a little lazily, and there were two maidservants beside her who gently fanned her.

"Your Majesty, how's it going?"

The maidservant beside her hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Back to the Queen Mother, after drinking the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, it has been much better in the past two days!" ”

The Queen Mother replied lightly and said: "Well, let him talk to the people in the palace, all the official documents in the future will be sent to Qingzhu Villa, and the emperor will correct the official documents in this villa in the future!" ”

"Yes!"

The servant girl bowed and nodded, and hurriedly and silently pushed down, and another servant girl immediately filled her place behind her.

"Wait a minute!" The Queen Mother suddenly opened her mouth, opened her eyes and slowly sat up straight, "Pass on the will of the mourning family, let the second lady of the Luo Wangfu go to the Mingyang Palace to take care of Lu Shizi's condition." ”

She finally found such a good place, and she could take over the affairs of the palace more freely, but she couldn't let Lu Huaiyu's house destroy it!

Didn't he dislike Luo Yingxue? Then she will send Luo Yingxue over to add some blockage to him, and see how he can spare his efforts to take care of her affairs!

The news that the emperor is going to Qingzhu Villa for summer vacation has spread throughout the capital, and he also instructed all the courtiers to send all today's official documents to this Qingzhu Villa.

After Lu Huaiyu heard about this, he knew that the Queen Mother wanted to strengthen her infiltration of the emperor and the regime in the court, and the first thing he thought about was how to destroy the Queen Mother's move.

Looking at Luo Yingxue with a weak face in front of her, Lu Huaiyu's brows furrowed: "I told you that I'm not sick." ”

"Shizi, this is the queen mother's decree, and the little girl has to obey!"

Luo Yingxue's face was full of grievances, she was very grateful to the Queen Mother for giving her such an opportunity to approach the prince openly, and she also expected that the prince would definitely not give her a good face, but she believed that His Royal Highness the prince would definitely be able to feel her sincerity!

Recalling the words that the grandmother beside the Queen Mother passed to herself, she must be optimistic about His Royal Highness the Prince, Luo Yingxue is determined, she will definitely seize this opportunity!
