Chapter 218: A Seafood Feast
Lu Qingjin got into the carriage with a bunch of fish and shrimp in his hand, and Concubine Li on the side covered her nose and said helplessly: "Take this thing down quickly, although this carriage is said to be five people, it is too small, and we can't sit down after this thing comes up." ”
Qin Zhao sighed and stepped forward, and before he could speak, he saw the king crab with teeth and claws in the net, his face turned pale, and the words he wanted to say disappeared, Lu Qingjin looked at him quite aggrievedly, but he didn't react for a long time, so he obediently handed over the things in his hand.
The group slowly walked away in the carriage, the killer whales on the dock behind them were still buzzing, Yan Sheng stood on the beach and blew the sea breeze with a trance-like expression, and after a while, he said lightly: "You take people to pay attention to the movements of the palace, especially the queen mother, and if necessary, you can send someone to find the general." ”
The little guy behind him looked very helpless and stopped talking several times without speaking, Yan Sheng, who had not received a response for a long time, turned his head impatiently, Ji Chen's cold face was reflected in his eyes, making him speechless for a while.
The little guy saluted and left in a hurry, there were only two people left on the dock, the sea breeze was still blowing, Ji Chen turned his head to look at the vast sea: "What can't you say now?" When it is irretrievable, how are you going to explain your identity at that time, and continue to deceive? ”
Yan Sheng smiled bitterly twice, looked at the dark clouds that gradually gathered in the distance, and did not speak, and for a while the two of them quieted down, and the whistling sea breeze seemed to be more violent, blowing people unsteadily, but there was no silence between the two.
The seafarer on the side walked over with some hesitation and saluted Yan Sheng: "Boss! It looks like it's about to rain on the sea, so let's see if you're going back? After all, our brother was so tired that it was impossible to set up a boat to withstand the storm. ”
Yan Sheng nodded coldly: "You did a good job this time, take someone back!" In a few days, a subsidy will be sent to your home, and the court will never ask you to work in vain. ”
A few seafarers in the distance let out cheers and slowly walked away, the one near seemed to want to say something, but looking at Ji Chen's gaze, he stiffly held back.
Ji Chen let out a long sigh when he saw that everyone was walking away: "If you don't want to say it now, I won't force you, let's go back too!" The storm looked so big that eighty percent of the entire dock would be flooded. ”
Yan Sheng didn't speak for a long time as if he hadn't heard it, and when Ji Chen turned around and was about to leave, he finally spoke, but his voice was as soft as a dream: "What I'm saying is the truth, why don't you believe it!" Do you only believe that the emperor believes in the queen of unknown origin? ”
Ji Chen closed his eyes and let the harsh sea breeze blow his hood off, and it took a long time before he said coldly: "You may not remember, I believed you, I was not very familiar with all the people when I just returned to the capital, I believed it when you said that you had received my life-saving grace, but later I learned that although Lord Yan Sheng had a low official position, he was a figure in the capital that he could not provoke, so how much should I believe in you?" ”
Yan Sheng's body shook slightly, and he quickly returned to normal: "Whether you believe it or not, I really received your life-saving grace, okay!" The storm is slowly getting bigger, let's go back! ”
Ji Chen sighed and slowly followed Yan Sheng's thin back towards the mansion, both of them knew that they could no longer gain the trust of the other party, but the miracle of the two people did not leave.
As soon as Lu Qingjin returned to the queen's palace, he saw a yard full of fish, shrimp and crabs, Xiao Si was busy grabbing it alone, and there was a huge king crab that was about to climb onto the newly planted wormwood, and the weak wormwood seedlings were simply precarious in front of the giant king crab.
Lu Qingjin hurriedly walked over in three or two steps and threw the huge king crab on the fathead fish that was still struggling not far away, Qin Zhao clapped his hands in amazement: "Yes!" This is really spectacular, I have never seen so much seafood in the palace after being the emperor for so many years, where did this come from? ”
Lu Qingjin was still helping out, and when Xiao Fuzi took over, he stopped, wiped his hands, walked back, looked at the fresh seafood, and nodded happily: "It's no wonder you don't know, the matter of my impeachment a few days ago has been spread all over the world, Jingqi Pavilion is a partner after all, and when I heard about it, I wanted to give gifts and condolences without saying a word, I thought I didn't want to refuse in vain, but I didn't expect these people to send so much seafood, just enough to give to other concubines It should be regarded as today's thank you gift, This will save you a lot of money again. ”
Qin Zhao was not too happy when he heard that it was sent by Jingqi Pavilion, but Lu Qingjin's appearance as a wealth fan made him laugh at that time, and before he could say anything, he heard Xiao Si ask: "Niangniang, look at which of these things are going to be sent away, and the emperor Chen will send them away here!" Now that I'm the only one left in our palace, I really can't do so many things. ”
Lu Qingjin found that the queen's palace was still empty, she turned her head and looked at Qin Zhao with an unkind expression: "Where did you get the other people in my palace?" After such a long time, I have to send a few back! I don't know, I think I'm doing something wrong! ”
Qin Zhao touched his nose and walked towards the seafood pot not far away with a little weakness, Lu Qingjin reluctantly followed, but seeing Qin Zhao cowering there and not opening his mouth, there was really no way, so he aimed at the conscientious Xiaofuzi not far away.
Xiao Fuzi was busy dividing the things in his hand into parts and sending them to various palaces, when he heard Lu Qingjin behind him ask coldly: "Why didn't the emperor send the people in my palace back?" Can Xiaofuzi's father-in-law talk about it? ”
Several people's bodies suddenly stiffened, and Nono refused to speak.
The candlelight shone dimly and yellowly on the seafood on the table, sprinkling a soft light, Lu Qingjin broke a crab leg with a gloomy face and threw it into Qin Zhao's bowl: "Your Majesty, try it!" Today's seafood feast was delivered by my people, and it's still fresh! ”
Qin Zhao ate the fish in his hand with trepidation, looking at Lu Qingjin's face and the seafood on the table, Xiao Si twitched the corner of his mouth, and stepped forward with some sympathy: "What's the matter, let's wait until it's finished, after all, it's all good things, and it is easy to eat in this palace." ”
