Chapter 290: Eating Insects

Looking at the expressions of several ladies present explaining to the princess and princess that they were afraid, refused and wanted to scream, Zuo Xiangling was relieved, in comparison, the queen mother and Yunni seemed much calmer, after all, they were the ones who had stayed with her in the wild.

"Princess Cheng is a little restless, and listen to me carefully. Once upon a time, there was an emperor in a country who ruled over a great drought that caused a locust infestation that severely harmed the crops in the field. One day, he found that the crops he had planted had attracted a lot of locusts, and he thought, "Oh no, is there going to be a locust plague?" Will the people's crops suffer? So he immediately led his courtiers down to inspect the fields.

Sure enough, after coming to the field, he saw a thrilling scene. Locusts are flying in large numbers, landing in the vast fields of crops, and gnawing on the crops with impunity. The people on the ground beat their chests and feet, helpless, and could only watch the crops they had worked so hard to grow suffer, but their hearts were dripping blood.

Seeing this situation, the emperor was so anxious that he forgot his identity, he grabbed a locust, pointed at it and scolded: "I don't know what to do, do you know? Food is the life of the people! You eat, how can the people live? If the people have done it, it is also my fault, if you are psychic, you should come and eat me! ”

After scolding, he still didn't understand his hatred, and stuffed the locust in his hand into his mouth with a thunderous movement. This frightened the courtiers, who were at a loss and didn't know what to do, so they could only shout: "Your Majesty, the locusts can't be eaten, they will vomit out, they will get sick if they eat them!" ”

The emperor did not listen to the advice of his courtiers at all, and said as he chewed: "I hope to transfer the natural calamity to me, and not to harm the common people, how can I be afraid of causing illness?" If I can destroy the locusts, even if I get sick, I will be willing. With that, he swallowed the locust.

The emperor's actions greatly moved and encouraged the courtiers, and they immediately launched a campaign to exterminate locusts, minimizing losses.

This emperor later became a generation of Ming monarchs, largely because he had a heart that was sensitive to the people's feelings and loved the people like a son. ”

After Zuo Xiangling's story was told, everyone present had tangled looks, as if they didn't believe what Zuo Xiangling said, and Zuo Xiangling said again.

"Everyone must know that the five poisons can be used in medicine, so why can't you eat insects, I almost died last time because of this delicious bug, and it's a bit embarrassing to say."

Reaching out and touching the tip of her nose, Zuo Xiangling looked at the people present, and saw that they didn't mean to move the chopsticks, Zuo Xiangling was ready to eat first, but was preempted by the intruding Tianba.

"Meow~"

I saw Tianba scream, jumped directly on the table beside Zuo Xiangling, opened his mouth and began to eat wildly, they watched the plate of black insects being eaten by Tianba, and they swallowed their saliva directly, I don't know if they felt frightened, or they were affected by Tianba's taste buds.

What Zuo Xiangling didn't expect was that the first person to move the chopsticks turned out to be Sun Panxia, and Concubine De beside her watched as the sandworm that had been black and full of feet was put into her mouth.

In fact, Sun Panxia is just to make herself proud in front of these people, since she became the concubine of King Yu, no one has taken her in her eyes anymore, this time she finally had the opportunity to show herself, how could she miss this opportunity.

"How?"

Concubine De tried her best to suppress the disgust in her heart, and asked with a loving look like an old mother.

Other people also noticed the scene that happened to Sun Panxia, and they all looked sideways at Sun Panxia, and once again received a lot of attention, Sun Panxia was full of emotion in his heart.

Thinking that it was because of Zuo Xiangling, I couldn't help but feel a little lonely in my heart, but how could she be such an easy person to be defeated, and immediately said in surprise.

"It tastes very good, let's try it." Love to nibble on books

As soon as Sun Panxia said this, the rest of the people also began to try, and Zuo Xiangling couldn't help but show a little smug look when she saw that they had eaten the fried sandworms they had made.

This scene fell into Sun Panxia's eyes, and naturally became a provocation, looking at Zuo Xiangling's eyes gradually became cold, like a knife with four colors of cold light, Zuo Xiangling only felt that a chill rose from the soles of her feet and rushed straight to her head, and she looked at it intuitively, and saw Sun Panxia with a gloomy face.

Slightly stunned, Zuo Xiangling looked away, although she knew that it was impossible to be a person with Sun Panxia again, she still cherished that friendship.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, I didn't expect Princess Jing to not only have many interesting stories, but also her cooking skills are so good, she is even more powerful than the imperial chef in the palace."

Concubine Zhen still can't eat one after all, if it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother had eaten herself, if she didn't eat it, it would be very disrespectful, she wouldn't have eaten such a disgusting thing, what she hates the most is bugs, especially black bugs.

However, it's still a full set of dramas, after all, the harem is sometimes about the previous dynasty.

"Thank you Concubine Zhen for your compliment."

Zuo Xiangling's chin gestured.

Palace

Li Shaowu summoned his cronies and ministers, including some high-ranking ministers such as Zuo Prime Minister Qin Zhuo, each of whom was a pivotal figure in the court.

"What do you think about the establishment of the reserve?"

Casually leaving down a sentence, Li Shaowu began to take a pen and draw a pastoral feng shui painting, with a little tranquility at the corner of her mouth, as if she was in the countryside at the moment.

"The minister believes that he should follow the ancestral etiquette law and appoint the prince Li Yunyuan as the crown prince."

Qin Zhuo took a big step forward and said with his head bowed.

"The minister seconded the proposal, the matter of establishing the prince is related to the people's livelihood of the country, and it should be treated with caution, although the ancestral rule is important, but the selection of the virtuous prince is also very important, the minister feels that it is not broken, and the country vigorously advocates the new law, the matter of the prince, why can't you choose a virtuous person.

The minister didn't think there was anything wrong with His Royal Highness King Jing, but there were many talented pretenses for the emperor, many of whom had the eldest son, His Royal Highness the Minister, if he could choose a truly talented person among the elders to become the prince, presumably the people of the world would pass it on as a good story. “

The speaker is none other than the Imperial Historian Shen Yuan, who has formulated custody laws and decrees for Li Shaowu in recent years, and has won Li Shaowu's appreciation.

"The minister thinks that the two adults are reasonable, but the minister thinks that the prince who should be selected after making a comparison is more convincing to the people of the world."

The hussar general Yan Rong replied loudly.
