Lu Qingjin sat lazily in the hall and roasted the fire, Qinglan coughed twice and reminded: "This morning, the emperor came with news, saying that the wild boars you picked up earlier had a litter, and now the small ones are almost able to eat, and the big ones are useless."

Lu Qingjin gently threw the shovel in his hand into the brazier on the side and said with a smile: "These pigs I raised are remembered, okay, you tell the people of the Internal Affairs Office to prepare and start killing pigs in the afternoon." ”

Qinglan carefully put away the things near the brazier, and when she turned around, she suddenly stumbled, Lu Qingjin was startled and hurriedly supported her: "What's the matter, is it frozen during the heavy snow a few days ago, this time is the most likely to get typhoid fever, you go to the Tai Hospital to see."

Qinglan straightened up with a bad face: "No need, I think I was tired a few days ago, just take a rest in the past two days."

Saying that, he hurriedly left, Lu Qingjin helplessly looked at the heavy snow outside the door and had a bad premonition, the earth dragon burned vigorously after a while, and it made people fall asleep, and Lu Qingjin felt that someone seemed to sit next to him gently.

A gust of cold wind blew Lu Qingjin opened his eyes in a daze, and Concubine Li's voice sounded on the side: "You can be regarded as awake, if you don't wake up for a while, I will call you in person, how can anyone fall asleep in the hall on a cold day."

Lu Qingjin wrapped the cloak on his body and said helplessly: "It's not that this earth dragon is too warm, but why did you come here, I thought you wouldn't come for a long time after being punished by the emperor last time." ”

Her words made Concubine Li's heart palpitate, and she hurriedly took a sip of ginger tea before she came to her senses: "Don't talk about this." I haven't finished copying the Buddhist scriptures punished by the emperor a few days ago, and I see that the New Year is approaching, and I am afraid that it will be spent in the Buddhist scripture hall on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Lu Qingjin couldn't bear to comfort him: "I'll go to the emperor tomorrow and tell me, how can there be such a punishment, don't copy it." ”

Concubine Li showed a smile that had a successful plan: "It's better to be the queen, didn't you hear that you were going to kill a pig, I came here to help you."

Lu Qingjin walked to the door gently, and when he heard this, he stumbled and almost fell and said helplessly: "Who are you listening to, I ordered the Internal Affairs Office to kill the pig, just like me, the pig killed me, Qinglan moved very fast, so you will get the news in a while." I don't know if I went to the hospital. ”

Concubine Li paused as she drank water, and asked casually: "I remember that Qinglan is your personal maid, and she is quite clever, has she been feeling unwell recently?"

Lu Qingjin only thought about what to do with the two little piglets he gave birth, and replied absentmindedly: "Yes, the snow was cold a few days ago, and I always feel that her face is not good recently."

Concubine Li wiped off the water droplets that were accidentally sprinkled on the back of her hand without a trace: "It's not early, let's go to the Internal Affairs Office to see how the pigs are killed, Concubine Yun and they have all got the news, if we go late, maybe the good things will be snatched away."

Lu Qingjin hadn't eaten pork for a long time, but he nodded happily when he heard the words, and the two of them slowly stepped on the snow and left, and Qinglan at the back of the house looked at Concubine Li's back thoughtfully.

Qin Zhao sat on the chair and shook back and forth unsteadily, Ji Chen frowned and said, "Yesterday, the minister was derelict in his duties, and the thieves didn't know where they had gone, so they thought they had already left the city."

Qin Zhao slammed the fold in his hand on the table: "You not only let the thieves steal a lot of the seeds and materials of the queen's research and the shack in the cellar at night, but also let the thieves out of the city before the morning?"

Ji Chen lowered his head and didn't speak, looking like he was going to be beaten and punished, and there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door, and it took a while for Yan Sheng to stand on the main hall, Qin Zhao squinted at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Yan Sheng bowed to himself and said: "This matter is the minister's guilt, the general originally wanted to pursue the thief, but the minister was worried about the safety of the soldiers and stopped it, if the emperor wants to punish the minister, he is willing to accept the crime." ”

Qin Zhao held back for a while before leaving angrily, leaving Ji Chen looking at Yan Sheng in front of him with complicated eyes and being silent for a long time.

When Qin Zhao came to the Internal Affairs Mansion in a menacing manner, several people had already been divided, and Lu Qingjin said excitedly: "Those intestines and internal organs are all left for me, and no one can move when the pig's head freezes." ”

Concubine Li and the others were satisfied with their share and didn't speak, the fresh pig blood was piled up and a basin was steaming white, Qin Zhao covered his nose with some disgust: "Why are you still here, let's leave quickly after it's all divided, what kind of smell does this place have!" ”

Lu Qingjin wiped his hand and stepped forward to hug him: "Isn't there still blood sausage that hasn't been made, you wait, go back and make stewed pork for you."

Qin Zhao hadn't eaten stewed pork, but he still couldn't help but stand still in disgust for the trust in what Lu Qingjin had made.

Half an hour later, Lu Qingjin handed the boiled blood sausage to Qinglan, and stretched out his hand to support Qin Zhao, who was vomiting a little: "Why are you so squeamish, bear with me and don't vomit anymore, it's dehydrated if you vomit again."

Qin Zhao said as he followed her towards the Queen's Palace, "You are about to throw away those messy things, can you eat them?" ”

Lu Qingjin finally returned to the palace with broken thoughts, and the little eunuch who was facing him hurriedly almost knocked down two people, Lu Qingjin stood up with the strength of Qinglan behind him and reprimanded: "Is there any urgency to look at the road!"

The little eunuch didn't speak, he just knelt on the ground and shivered, Lu Qingjin touched his neck a little inexplicably, and after a while, Qin Zhao said coldly: "Lock this person up, and ask him in a few days."

Although Lu Qingjin didn't want to embarrass the little eunuch, but the current scene was too suspicious, she thought about it and didn't speak, and went to the kitchen by herself, Qinglan looked back at the little eunuch who had been taken away, and looked embarrassed.

Qin Zhao worked in the dining room for a while before Lu Qingjin came over with a plate, and the aroma that slowly rose from the plate suddenly hooked Qin Zhao's empty stomach, and he ate it before he had time to say hello.

The fresh wild boar meat is slightly smoked with spices, exuding a peculiar aroma, and the red and white meat is accompanied by a brown-red sauce.

Qin Zhao didn't raise his head to eat the freshly steamed rice, Lu Qingjin looked at him quietly with a soft smile, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a crimson mark on his neck, and Lu Qingjin's face became ugly.
