The Queen's Zhongshen Palace.

When King Qi and Chu Mingcui entered the palace, they first went to greet the queen.

When Chu Mingcui entered the palace, he saw that the queen's face was a little bad, and she sat with her chest stroking.

Chu Mingcui has always been empathetic in front of the queen, and after greeting her, the queen was still sullen.

Chu Mingcui knew that the queen had something in her heart, so she smiled and said to the king: "Didn't the prince say that he had made a new poem to recite to King Lu?" Go for it. ”

King Qi doesn't like to write poetry, but King Lu likes it, King Qi and King Lu are both from the queen, a compatriot, in order to vote for this hard-working brother, but also to relieve his fatigue, he began to learn to write poetry.

Now that he has a new song, he can't wait to show off in front of King Lu, and when he heard Chu Mingcui say, he smiled and left.

As soon as King Qi left, Chu Mingcui sent away the people who were waiting in the palace, sat beside the queen and asked, "Auntie, what happened?" ”

When the queen saw her son leaving, she said hatefully: "This palace and the emperor, husband and wife for more than 20 years, have never dined alone with this palace since the day of the wedding, and tonight, he actually ordered Yuan Qingling to dine together." ”

Chu Mingcui was shocked, "Yuan Qingling? Wasn't she brought into the palace for questioning? Why wasn't it locked up? ”

When she entered the palace, she didn't ask, thinking that according to the crime committed by Yuan Qingling, even if she was not put in prison, she would definitely be locked up in the dark room first, and then when the investigation was clear, she would be deprived of the position of Princess Chu, and the rest of the punishment would be dealt with according to the identity of the common people.

Empress Chu said coldly: "Guan? Now that she is dining with the emperor, there are only two of them, and I don't know what she will say in front of the emperor. ”

Chu Mingcui was slightly shocked, Yuan Qingling seemed to be much smarter recently, if she was suspicious of herself in front of the emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She turned to look at the queen, her eyes shining with a sly light, "Auntie, do you feel dizzy?" ”

Dinner is set up in the Flying Dragon Palace, which is separated from the Imperial Study.

Yuan Qingling hoped that Prince Rui would dine together, at least one more person, one more word.

However, when Father-in-law Mu Ru led her to the Flying Dragon Palace, her flame of hope was extinguished.

A small sandalwood round table, if it weren't for the tableware, Yuan Qingling would almost think it was a coffee table for eating tea, no, the coffee table is too small, this can at most put a dish.

Such a small table, even if you sit opposite each other, the distance is very close.

Now, Emperor Ming Yuan was sitting at the round table, his back straight, his hands on his knees, and he raised his slightly sharp eyes to look at her.

He may have tried to make a gentle appearance, but the majesty has been too long, and this gentle expression can't be done, just slightly bent his lips and froze, this expression makes people look even more cold.

Yuan Qingling walked over slowly, and was about to salute, when Emperor Ming Yuan said, "Don't be formal, sit down." ”

Yuan Qingling sighed, walked to the dining table with small steps, and sat down carefully.

"You don't have to be formal, it's just a normal meal." Emperor Ming Yuan saw her nervousness, so he was relieved.

Yuan Qingling thought to himself, where can he not be nervous? There is no ordinary meal, and it is not said that only the family and the daughter-in-law eat alone, not to mention, you are still the son of heaven.

"Yes!" She answered.

When she came, she thought in her heart that Emperor Ming Yuan asked her to come to eat this meal, she must have something to ask her, her guess was actually the same as Yu Wenhao's guess, it was nothing more than asking about the affairs of the Chu Palace, asking Yu Wenhao's movements, who he was dealing with, and so on.

She also thought of proper words in advance.

Emperor Ming Yuan didn't ask, but said lightly to Mu Ru's father-in-law, "Serve!" ”

Yuan Qingling looked at the size of this table, and served food, I don't know how many can I serve?

The first course is a stew.

Two delicate small stew cups were brought up and placed in front of Emperor Ming Yuan and Yuan Qingling, the lid of the stew pot was taken away, and the aroma wafted out and went straight to Yuan Qingling's nose.

Immediately made her index finger move, and she just wanted to drink it right away.

It's just that she thinks it's not so simple, doesn't the emperor have to test for poison when he eats, and then wash his hands or something?

The palace maid stepped forward to pour the soup into a small bowl for her and put a silver spoon, while Emperor Ming Yuan was waiting for Mu Ru's father-in-law.

Yuan Qingling didn't dare to move, and it wasn't until Emperor Ming Yuan picked up the silver spoon and started drinking the soup that she breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch the spoon.

I was so hungry, and the food was at the moment, and the nervous mood naturally relaxed slowly, thinking that no matter what he asked for a while, he already had an answer, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

The soup was put in her mouth, and before she could drink it, she heard hurried footsteps outside, and she put down the spoon and looked outside.

Mu Rugong's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he walked out quickly, but after a while, Mu Rugong's face changed slightly and he came in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is unwell and has been bored." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan frowned and stood up, "Swing!" ”

Yuan Qingling breathed a sigh of relief again, the emperor is gone, then she can eat at will.

I'm really hungry and can't eat well.

Emperor Ming Yuan swept his eyes, looked at Yuan Qing Ling and said, "You come along." ”

Yuan Qingling's eyes moved away from the soup in the bowl with great difficulty, and responded: "Yes!" ”

She stood up, Father-in-law Mu Ru took a cloak and came out, Emperor Ming Yuan turned his back to Yuan Qingling and asked Father-in-law Chang to serve and put on the cloak and sort out the wrinkles on his clothes.

Yuan Qing Ling was hungry to the side of the gall, taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Ming Yuan and Mu Ru's father-in-law didn't see it, he suddenly picked up the soup bowl and sent it to his mouth, two mouthfuls, and a bowl of soup went down, and the hot soup slid down her mouth and throat, burning until her stomach, so hot that her tears came out.

Emperor Ming Yuan turned his head and looked at her in a little surprise.

Yuan Qingling's eyes were filled with tears, and he forced out a smile and stood there awkwardly.

Emperor Ming Yuan suddenly asked Mu Ru's father-in-law, "Today, can King Qi and Princess Qi enter the palace?" ”

"Back to the emperor, King Qi and Princess Qi will not be long after entering the palace." Mu Ru's father-in-law replied.

Emperor Ming Yuan slowly arranged the straps on his cloak thoughtfully.

He sat down again, "Ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the queen's palace and continue to eat." ”

Yuan Qingling was slightly surprised, and looked up at Mu Ru's father-in-law, but Mu Ru's father-in-law seemed to be relieved.

What the hell is going on? The queen fainted, why didn't the emperor go again?

Does this have anything to do with Princess Qi entering the palace?

She didn't dare to ask, she drank the soup slowly, and then the stew pot was removed, and then on the plate, it turned out to be a dish and a dish on the ground, she looked at Emperor Ming Yuan who only ate two bites of each dish, and would not put down the chopsticks for the third time.

There is a dish of burnt elbows, Yuan Qingling eats very well, Emperor Ming Yuan takes a bite, and then says to Mu Rugong: "This elbow is good, Prince Xiangrui." ”

"Yes!" Mu Ru's father-in-law walked out and asked the eunuch to send it to Prince Rui.

Yuan Qingling knew that the emperor had such a hobby, and liked to give his leftover food to the minister, which was a grace, and the minister would generally feel supreme honor.
