The palace cook quickly brought the puffer fish fillet to the dragon case, and the father-in-law, who was standing next to the Queen Mother, stepped forward, picked up the silver chopstick, sandwiched two pieces of puffer fish meat, dipped it in the sauce, and put the silver plate in front of the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, this puffer fish meat looks very white, tender and delicious, it must taste a must, you can taste it." The father-in-law had a smile on his face and slowly handed the silver chopsticks to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother nodded, and was about to move the chopsticks, Luo Shuangyi stepped forward when she saw this, and arched her hand and said: "The Queen Mother is slow, my father-in-law is right, puffer fish is a taste." There is a saying in the book, "Once you eat puffer fish meat, you will never think of the fish in the world for the rest of your life", but the more delicious it is, the more you must pay attention to how to eat it. Puffer fish is poisonous, and if the chef does not handle it properly, it can kill people.

The emperor and the queen mother are expensive, and they need to be more cautious when using food. Therefore, the courtier's daughter suggested that the chef who made the puffer fish should taste it first. ”

Luo Yingxue couldn't help but interject when she heard this: "Sister, you know that the puffer fish is poisonous, and you still dedicate it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, what are your intentions?" Don't you take the lives of the queen mother and the emperor in your eyes? ”

Xie Yuxuan's face was ugly, but he didn't expect Luo Shuangyi to know how to eat puffer fish, and he shook out all the truth in front of the emperor and the queen mother, if the emperor and the queen mother were to blame, she would not be able to escape the blame.

Luo Shuangyi's face did not change: "There is a rule for eating puffer fish in the south of the Yangtze River, and the chef must try it first after the puffer fish is served, so as to prove that the puffer fish is non-toxic after treatment." ”

"You, you still want the Queen Mother and the Emperor to eat this poisonous thing?" Luo Yingxue saw that Luo Shuangyi didn't look like she was taking herself seriously, and she was forced to be anxious.

After thinking about it, the puffer fish meat was offered by the princess and Luo Shuangyi, and if the queen mother was guilty, neither of them would be able to eat it and walk around.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, stroked her stomach and stepped forward, and came to the Queen Mother's side with a worried face: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the puffer fish is poisonous and may hurt the body, Xue'er thinks that what my sister and princess are doing is inappropriate." The puffer fish meat has been served on the table, if it weren't for the sister who told the queen mother how to eat the puffer fish before the meal, Xue'er didn't dare to imagine the consequences of the queen mother and the emperor eating the pork meat, Xue'er didn't intentionally suspect the princess, but was worried that the pork meat would harm the queen mother's phoenix body and the emperor's dragon body. ”

Her words showed that she was thinking about the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and put Luo Shuangyi and Xie Yuxuan in danger.

Xie Yuxuan was secretly annoyed, but she had no choice but to worry that the matter was indeed caused by herself, worried that the queen mother would be held responsible, she was anxiously brewing the words of the round in her heart, Luo Shuangyi spoke unhurriedly: "The queen mother, the emperor, the princess is still inexperienced, and the courtiers guessed that the princess just felt that the pork meat was delicious and wanted to share it with the queen mother, so she invited the courtiers to offer it together, and the princess didn't know that the pork meat was poisonous." ”

Xie Yuxuan's face stiffened slightly when she heard this, but Luo Shuangyi's words were obviously for her good, even if she didn't want to admit that she was inexperienced, she had to agree with Luo Shuangyi's statement.

"What Shuangyi said is what Xuan'er said, if Xuan'er knew that the pork fillets were poisonous, she would never dare to dedicate the fish fillets to the Queen Mother and the emperor." She looked sincere, her eyes apologetic.

The emperor subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother and cautiously asked the Queen Mother's opinion: "Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”

The Queen Mother's expression was neither happy nor angry, Xie Yuxuan's identity was there after all, if she easily offended her, it would only cause dissatisfaction among her neighbors.

"The princess just came to our dynasty not long ago, and it is understandable that she didn't know that the pork meat was poisonous." She spoke slowly, in a quiet, gentle voice that could not be ignored.

The emperor immediately understood what the queen mother meant, and knew that she wanted to give Xie Yuxuan a step down, so he said kindly: "The queen mother is right, then why don't you do what Luo Shuangyi said, and let the cook try it first?" ”

The Queen Mother agreed and ordered someone to withdraw the pork meat. She swayed lazily with the soft wattle coated with Kodan, and her phoenix eyes raised slightly: "Then let the cook try it first." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother agreed with him, the emperor was secretly glad that he had no wrong intentions.

Luo Yingxue's brows furrowed almost invisibly, but the Queen Mother spoke, she was soft-spoken, and it was useless to say anything, so she could only reluctantly retreat to her position.

The waiting time was a bit long, and the emperor glanced at the queen mother, worried that she would find it boring and boring, and wanted to please her, his eyes fell on Luo Shuangyi, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

"Once you eat puffer fish meat, you won't miss the fish in the world for the rest of your life? What else do you know? Talk to the Queen Mother and I to listen. If you can make the Queen Mother happy, I will be rewarded. ”

Luo Shuangyi didn't expect the emperor to ask suddenly, but he still bent his knees in an orderly manner and replied lightly: "Artemisia is full of short reed buds, and it is when the puffer fish wants to go." The puffer fish will go up the river every spring, the ancients once said, 'its shape is already strange, its poison is also Moga', the puffer fish meat is extremely delicious, and there are not a few people who die because of eating it. ”

Seeing the emperor's inquiring gaze, she searched for the story about the puffer fish in her mind, only vaguely remembered some fragments, carefully compiled the story, and finally justified herself.

The emperor was not interested in her story, but glanced at the expression of the Queen Mother from time to time, saw a faint smile on her face, and thought that the Queen Mother should be happy, so he casually picked up the white jade glutinous rice roll in front of the case, and motioned to the father-in-law on the side to bring things to Luo Shuangyi.

"That's a good point." The emperor praised him.

The Queen Mother frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his arbitrary reward, and glanced at him sideways: "The emperor likes to listen to folk tales?" ”

The emperor looked stunned: "Don't you like the queen mother?" ”

The Queen Mother pulled the corners of her lips coldly and did not answer.

The emperor looked embarrassed and hurriedly sent Luo Shuangyi down.

When Luo Yingxue saw the emperor rewarding Luo Shuangyi with pastries, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, her heart was full of jealousy, and she thought: But after reciting a few sour poems, she got the emperor's reward, why did Luo Shuangyi!

After Luo Shuangyi thanked him, he returned to his seat with the pastry. The little county lord quietly leaned over and raised his eyebrows playfully: "It's okay, I didn't expect you to know so much." You see, Luo Yingxue's face is almost blue. ”

Luo Shuangyi made a "silence" gesture, picked up a piece of pastry and fed it to the little county lord, blocking her mouth.

At this moment, a palace man ran in from outside the hall with a panicked expression, bowed down and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the chef who makes puffer fish meat has been poisoned by mistake. ”

"What?" The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes condensed.

The person sitting in His Highness gasped and couldn't help but panic.

Luo Yingxue lightly hooked the corners of her lips, looking forward to Luo Shuangyi and Xie Yuxuan ending up with an attitude of watching the show.

Xie Yuxuan didn't want to be poked in the backbone by Luo Yingxue, so he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, this matter is all to blame for Xuan'er's recklessness, and he offered puffer fish meat before he figured out how to eat puffer fish meat, and Xuan'er was punished by the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother didn't answer, and her eyes slowly moved from Xie Yuxuan to Luo Shuangyi: "Those who don't know are not guilty, even if they are blamed, they should be blamed for those who know." ”

Luo Shuangyi understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, she pretended not to hear it, and ate the pastries rewarded by the emperor carelessly.

The little county lord was eating happily, but when she heard the Queen Mother's words, the movements in her hand stopped, she bit a piece of peach blossom cake, approached Luo Shuangyi and whispered: "Why do I think the Queen Mother has something to say?" Shuangyi, nothing will happen, right? ”

"I have a clear conscience, don't worry, even if they want to do something, there is no reason to aspire to embarrass me." Luo Shuangyi put down the jade chopsticks in his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief.

The little county lord nodded, his eyes full of trust in Luo Shuangyi.

Seeing that Luo Shuangyi was like a nobody, the Queen Mother not only did not take the initiative to come out to take responsibility, but also ate pastries by herself in her seat.

Her eyes were slightly downcast, and in front of everyone, it was not good to directly blame Luo Shuangyi for the matter. After all, it was Luo Shuangyi who made the poison a priori.

Thinking about this, the Queen Mother didn't say anything in the end.

Xie Yuxuan subconsciously looked at the place where Luo Shuangyi was sitting out of the corner of her eyes, and saw that she was still sitting with peace of mind, and the hand she hid in her sleeve was clenched tightly.

Everyone's eyes fell on her alone, Xie Yu simmered like a man's back, and stalked his neck to admit his mistake: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, this matter is all the fault of Xuan'er, and it has nothing to do with others, it is Xuan'er who thinks that puffer fish is delicious, and she wants to give the emperor and the queen mother a taste, so she forgets the toxicity of puffer fish meat." ”

The Queen Mother coughed lightly, originally wanted to hold Luo Shuangyi responsible, but Luo Shuangyi didn't come out to take responsibility, and she had no way, and Xie Yuxuan's identity was there, she couldn't be embarrassed, so she pretended to be tolerant and said: "It's good to mourn your family, and this matter will not be held accountable." If there is a next time, it will not be spared. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xie Yuxuan blushed, he didn't expect that he would be trained, but Luo Shuangyi would be able to retreat. She was so angry that her teeth itched, and her face still didn't show a point.

He turned around and obediently returned to his seat.

The corners of Luo Yingxue's mouth are even more upturned, her two eyes are like high-quality white jade, smooth and clear, although Xie Yuxuan has not been punished, it is because of her special identity, Luo Shuangyi is different, she is a concubine, but she is afraid that punishment will be inevitable.

She was faintly looking forward to Luo Shuangyi being punished in her heart, and finally waited for the emperor to speak.

Luo Yingxue pressed the excitement in her heart, poured a shallow glass of wine for Yan, and only listened to the emperor: "The way to eat puffer fish is exquisite, and there must not be many people who know it." Thanks to Luo Shuangyi's reminder today, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, Queen Mother, what do you think? ”

Luo Yingxue's face suddenly turned cold, and she even doubted what she heard with her ears, she put down the wine bottle with her temper, and accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the wine spilled on the table.

Yan anxiously checked for her, and asked uneasily, "Didn't you spill it on your body?" Why so careless? ”

Luo Yingxue shook her head, she still cared about the wine stains on her body, pinched the corners of her clothes tightly, and looked at the Queen Mother without blinking, hoping to hear a satisfactory answer from her.

The Queen Mother didn't expect the emperor to suddenly speak, but his words had already reached this point, even if she didn't agree in her heart, in front of everyone, she could only make a look of agreement: "What the emperor said is that today is thanks to Shuangyi's reminder." ”

After a while, the Queen Mother maintained a smile and looked at Luo Shuangyi, "You saved the lives of the mourning family and the emperor, and the mourning family rewarded you with a golden step, a pair of red coral, and a night pearl, are you satisfied?" ”

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, Xie Yuxuan's face also changed, she didn't expect her to be punished, but Luo Shuangyi was a reward, and she was also offering puffer fish, originally to pit Luo Shuangyi, and she didn't want to pit herself in turn, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Thank you for the reward." Luo Shuangyi got up and thanked her, although she received a bunch of rewards, she didn't have any waves in her heart, just because she really didn't have any interest in these rewards.

If she hadn't thought of a way to deal with it a long time ago, I'm afraid that today's outcome would not be so big.
