Chapter 5 The battle for favor is coming

On the third day, the little palace maid of Kunning Palace came to Qianqing Palace again.

Qin Zhao immediately wanted to make his firm position clear, but he didn't expect the little palace maid to take the first step and speak: "Your Majesty, the queen mother will make chicken stewed mushrooms today, and the mushrooms are also grown by the mother herself!" ”

Today I actually made meat dishes!

With a "grunt", Qin Zhao almost immediately heard the sound of himself swallowing saliva.

So without exception, the noble Emperor Yuanyou inevitably betrayed another day of labor.

For several days in a row, Emperor Yuanyou was glued to the queen, and he had already stirred up a huge wave in the harem.

When the noble concubine heard the news of the palace people's return, the corners of her lips hooked up with a disdainful sneer: "That Lu Qingjin has some ability, and he can actually think of starting with virtue and using this means to attract the emperor's attention." ”

Her slender jade fingers slowly plucked the tea foam in the teacup, and slowly narrowed her eyes:

"Family affairs are farmers, and mothers are in the world? She Lu Qingjin is also worthy! Hmph, but that's good, it gave me a chance. Speaking of the queen's virtue, how can she, a daughter of the Lu family, compare to us noble girls? Mingyue, go and prepare, tomorrow we will also go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, I want the emperor to see, who is the most suitable person in the world! ”

Because the Imperial Garden is not as good as Kunning Palace, there are many people and miscellaneous eyes are not easy to hide, so Lu Qingjin did not use spiritual power to instantly ripen the vegetables and wheat planted as before, but only slightly increased the concentration of spiritual energy to ensure the survival rate of these crops.

But it is this little bit of aura that makes vegetables and wheat grow faster than other places, and within a few days, the soil has been broken.

At first, Qin Zhao was lured by food to come to work in this vegetable garden every day, and he was reluctant at first, but after a few days, he didn't know if he was used to being abused, and he didn't feel very repulsed.

Especially that wheat field, in order to cultivate Qin Zhao's attention to agriculture, Lu Qingjin deliberately handed over all the wheat fields to him to take care of, in addition to giving necessary technical guidance, all the work was done by Qin Zhao, and now Qin Zhao looked at the green wheat seedlings connected into a green carpet, and even had a sense of closeness when swaying in the spring breeze.

Although the sense of rejection is much less, it is still not completely acceptable, and Qin Zhao is still full of refusal and resolutely refuses to accept some work.

Today, for example, the Imperial Garden is filled with an indescribable ...... Stink.

"Lu Qingjin, don't you think! I'm a dignified ninety-five, and it's just a matter of weeding the farmland, and you actually let me go to pile up manure? Do you believe it or not, with this, I can punish your nine clans?! ”

Qin Zhao roared angrily, but because he pinched his nose, the tone of the urn's voice made his intimidation greatly reduced.

Lu Qingjin was not afraid of him at all, so he just took the opportunity to stuff a fork into his hand, and said with a smile: "The emperor is angry, this process is called fertilization, which is an indispensable and necessary part of the growth of crops, and I have absolutely no disrespect!" ”

In fact, Qin Zhao knew these things from books, but knowing it was not the same as accepting: "...... That's not going to work, I'm never going to touch that, it's disgusting! ”

Lu Qingjin raised his eyebrows, stuffed the fork into his hand, turned around and left: "Then I don't care, I have to go cook." If I see that the fertilization work of this field has not been completed when I come back later, then the emperor will not want to touch a mouthful of soup at the radish stewed pork ribs at noon today! ”

"You! It's really hard to raise only women and villains! Qin Zhao angrily threw the fork on the ground, turned around and called Wei Fu, "You, go to Si Nongfang and call a few people to help me work!" ”

Wei Fu's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the queen seems to have been on guard against this trick for a long time, she took all the people from Si Nongfang away in advance, saying that she wanted them to give seedlings to the vegetable garden next door!" ”

Qin Zhao squatted on the ground in frustration all of a sudden.

Wei Fu said distressedly: "Your Majesty, isn't it just a bowl of radish and pork rib soup, the old slave asked the imperial dining room to make it for you, the southern and northern style, the salty stuff, you can make as much as you want, why do you have to suffer this grievance here in the queen's mother?" ”

Qin Zhao was silent, he also thought about it, but he didn't know how the dishes Lu Qingjin used for cooking were grown, they were extremely delicious, and they would never be forgotten after eating them once.

If the royal family was as extravagant as the previous dynasty, he might be able to collect the world's delicacies and delicacies to suppress the gluttony, but the royal family of the previous dynasty swept away the treasury when they were defeated and fled, and their Dayu Dynasty is really poor now, even if the first emperor has not completely recovered after nearly ten years of recuperation, where can he waste money for his appetite now?

So after weighing the two, he still chose to ...... Come to Lu Qingjin to work here to earn food.

Qin Zhao felt bitter for himself when he thought about it, and sighed vicissitudes: "Wei Fu, you don't understand, I can only eat here in Lu Qingjin......

The ingredients in the imperial dining room are lined like pig food by Lu Qingjin's ingredients, and he doesn't know how to eat breakfast and lunch now, and he relies on this dinner all day long!

Wei Fu's old face showed a solemn look: Only the queen can eat here? Don't...... Could it be that His Majesty actually has true feelings for the queen mother, but because of the situation in the court, he can't show his heart?

Qin Zhao didn't know what his eunuch chief was doing, and he was worried about how to put manure into the ground.

At this moment, suddenly a delicate female voice came from afar: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

Qin Zhao looked up, and saw a beautiful shadow coming with the palace man, but the beauty was beautiful, but she was wearing a burlap robe, her black hair was also wrapped in a coarse cloth turban, and she was holding a small bamboo basket on her arm.

The person who came was Concubine Xian, she had been ordering people to keep an eye on here, and when she heard that Lu Qingjin was leaving and only the emperor was here, she hurried over.

As soon as she got closer, a disgusting stench hit her face in the air, causing her smile to freeze.

This taste...... Why does the emperor stay here, isn't there really something wrong?

Qin Zhao's eyes narrowed: "Concubine Xian, it's you, what are you doing?" ”

Concubine Xian hurriedly gathered her mind and said with a warm smile: "The concubine heard that the emperor has been concerned about agricultural affairs these days, and he has been driving and plowing himself, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

"Worried about me?" Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up instantly, he suddenly got up and picked up Concubine Xian, and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, good, it's really good!" Ai Concubine, you have this heart, I am very happy! ”
