Chapter 335: The Trap for Entering the Palace
As before, the steward Ah Wei stood at the door to receive guests, and when he turned his head by chance, his eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Li Chuxia, "Are you back?" ”
Last time, because of Lang Yue's assassination, Emperor Mingde ordered the restaurant to be sealed and forced them to leave, and later, under the struggle of Ah Wei, the Yinxia Restaurant reopened, although it was not as good as before, but it could barely make a living.
Seeing Ah Wei, Li Chuxia was very happy, "You are still there, and you are still running the restaurant so well, so I am relieved." ”
Ah Wei nodded, "When you left, you gave me a sum of money, and I also used this money to start a restaurant business and barely make a living." ”
At the beginning, the helper in Li Chuxia's restaurant had basically learned the knowledge of restaurant management, and after he came out, he couldn't do anything, so he simply continued to run Yinxia Restaurant.
Unexpectedly, Li Chuxia actually came back.
Seeing that Ah Wei is living a good life now, Li Chuxia is also happy in his heart, "We are back in the Central Plains this time, I am afraid that we will have to stay with you for one night." ”
Hearing Li Chuxia say this, Ah Wei naturally agreed, but as if he remembered something, he lowered his eyes, "Since you left, the restaurant has become a public one, although I am still in business, it is not much different from helping you work before." Even, I only get a little silver every month to supplement my family. ”
It is naturally incomparable with the salary he received when Li Chuxia was in the past.
Ah Wei sighed, "This Yinxia Restaurant is yours, and now that you are back, it's time to get it back." ”
At the beginning, Baili Yunzheng was still blind, and he worked hard to earn money every morning and evening, and it was not easy to buy a two-story house and open a restaurant, and Li Chuxia spent a lot of time and energy in it, that is to say, this restaurant is the condensation of Li Chuxia and Baili Yunzheng's hard work.
Now that they have returned, it is also the return of the thing to its rightful owner.
Li Chuxia nodded.
Soon, Ah Wei reported the matter to the imperial court, and when Emperor Mingde learned of it, he quickly sent an order and rejected the matter.
Hearing this news, Li Chuxia lowered his eyes, thinking that Emperor Mingde would naturally not let them go easily, and now that he knew that they had arrived in the Central Plains, he was bound to do something to them.
Lang Qi appeared at the right time, "You can live in the Northern Xinjiang Restaurant." ”
Probably because he was afraid that Lang Yue's assassination would happen again, Beijiang specially sent people to build a Beijiang restaurant in the Central Plains, which was specially used for people with noble status in Beijiang to live, and it was often guarded by heavy troops, so there was no need to worry about security at all.
No matter how arrogant this Emperor Mingde is, he will definitely not dare to attack the Northern Xinjiang Restaurant.
Li Chuxia remembered that there had been trouble sent by Emperor Mingde around him over the years, so he couldn't help but nodded, and the group stayed in the Beijiang Restaurant together.
At this time, Emperor Mingde in the palace heard about this and turned blue with anger.
Baili Yunzheng still returned to the Central Plains in the end.
I don't know what I came back for this time.
Emperor Mingde gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, and the viciousness in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, so frightened that the personal eunuch next to him did not dare to act rashly.
Lang Yue, who was helping to polish the ink on the side, seemed to notice something, and stepped forward gently, her soft and boneless hand touched Emperor Mingde's chest, and her delicate voice drifted away with the wind, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, what does this Baili Yunzheng want to do, call into the palace and ask, don't you know?" ”
Emperor Mingde glanced at Lang Yue coldly, and snorted lightly: "How can it be so easy!" This Baili Yun Zheng is a person who dares to resist the will, and in the whole world, he is the only one who dares to go against me. ”
Baili Yunzheng is full of martial arts, coupled with that smart head, if he wants to catch him, I'm afraid it's not so easy. What worries Emperor Mingde even more is that there are still many ministers in the court who have been thinking about Baili Yunzheng and want to help Baili Yunzheng back to power.
This is undoubtedly a challenge to his imperial power.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been obsessed with Baili Yunzheng for so many years.
Moreover, now their family lives in the Northern Xinjiang Restaurant, which has a great relationship with the Northern Xinjiang royal family, if they act rashly, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of the Northern Xinjiang royal family, and then cause war.
Considering many factors, Emperor Mingde felt a little headache when he thought that he would not be able to move Baili Yunzheng for the time being.
Lang Yue thought for a while and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to explore the tone of Baili Yunzheng, you don't have to start with him, isn't there a Li Chuxia by his side?" As long as you find a reason to summon her into the palace, what are you worried about? ”
"This ......" Emperor Mingde still hesitated.
"No matter how powerful that Baili Yunzheng is now, isn't he also a mortal? There is no military power in your hands, and you can fight with the emperor with that three-legged cat kung fu? Lang Yue's voice was a little softer, and it fell into Emperor Mingde's ears, which was particularly pleasant, "Your Majesty, if you are still not at ease, this matter will be handed over to the concubines." ”
Her purpose itself was Li Chuxia, and this time it happened to be through the hands of Emperor Mingde to solve her.
She must avenge the previous assassination.
When Emperor Mingde heard this, he shook his head after all, and pulled Lang Yue into his arms, "My beloved concubine, it really makes me feel a lot more worried." ”
He originally didn't like this woman from the north, but because of his face, he had to act on the spot.
At present, it seems that Lang Yue and him have a common enemy, and besides, she doesn't seem to be stupid, and she can even help herself.
Lang Yue smiled and shyly fell into Emperor Mingde's arms, "It is Lang Yue's blessing to be able to share the emperor's worries." ”
At this moment, although the two of them are relying on each other, they are actually pregnant with ghosts, and the abacus in their hearts is constantly playing, and they look like they are separated.
After coming out of Emperor Mingde's palace, Lang Yue looked back and glanced at the palace door, his eyes suddenly covered with a layer of coldness.
She didn't have much affection for Emperor Mingde in her heart, she just wanted to use him to achieve her own goals.
Now, she coaxed Emperor Mingde into obedience, and looked at the group of palace maids and eunuchs who came forward as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in her heart.
She raised her eyebrows and ordered: "Send the edict to the Northern Xinjiang Restaurant, the palace suddenly became homesick, and a Northern Xinjiang chef is needed to cook in the palace to relieve the homesickness of the palace." ”
The imperial concubine Niangniang spoke, how dare the people below delay, so she hurriedly sent someone to go to the Northern Xinjiang Restaurant and told the people in the restaurant about it, including Lang Qi.
In the restaurant, when Li Chuxia heard this, he immediately got up in understanding, "The imperial concubine wants a chef from Northern Xinjiang, doesn't she just want me to enter the palace?" ”
The implication couldn't be more obvious.
This Beijiang restaurant was originally used to entertain the royal nobles from northern Xinjiang, and no one came on weekdays, and besides, if Lang Yue was really homesick, he could directly send someone to northern Xinjiang to recruit chefs, without going through the northern Xinjiang restaurant.
From this point of view, Lang Yue is running for her.
Li Chuxia said fixedly: "I'll go into the palace tomorrow to cook, and by the way, ask this Emperor Mingde, what's going on." ”
She originally thought that she couldn't find a way to enter the palace, but now it's good, Emperor Mingde himself sent it to the door.
When Baili Yunzheng heard this, he couldn't help but be worried, and said with a twisted eyebrow: "This trip is too dangerous, I have to go with you." ”
For Emperor Mingde's temperament, Baili Yunzheng knows very well, entering the palace at this time, isn't it equivalent to entering the tiger's den in Longtan? This is clearly a trap set by Emperor Mingde, asking Li Chuxia to jump in.
Li Chuxia shook his head, "You have to stay and take care of the children, don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”
"No, I don't agree with you going on a risk." Baili Yunzheng shook his head very decisively and resolutely, "I'm afraid that I will not be able to take care of the two children alone." I will enter the palace with you, and I can help you if necessary. ”
Li Chuxia thought for a moment.
In terms of the current situation, there is indeed a chance that this is a trap set by Emperor Mingde, luring her to take the bait. If he really encounters danger, with Baili Yunzheng's familiarity with the Jiangbei Imperial Palace and his vigorous skills, he will undoubtedly be a good helper.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Chuxia still nodded, "Okay." But suddenly remembered something, "But, how do you get in?" ”
This time, Lang Yue summoned him, obviously for himself, and the eunuch who came to the palace to spread the word also said that only the "chef" was allowed to enter the palace.
After all, they are still a little afraid of Baili Yunzheng.
"I have my own way." Baili Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Entering the palace the next day, Baili Yunzheng put on a more shabby coarse linen clothes, carried the wooden box prepared by Li Chuxia, and followed behind Li Chuxia, looking like a small servant.
Sure enough, when the palace guards saw Baili Yunzheng, they didn't pay attention, so they put the two of them in together.
At this time, Lang Yue had been paying attention to their movements, and from time to time she asked the palace maid on the side, "Then did Li Chuxia enter the palace?" ”
The palace maid nodded, "Yes, I have already entered the palace." ”
In this way, Lang Yue couldn't help but feel proud.
As long as he enters the palace, this Li Chuxia is not an ant in his hands, let him handle it?
At this time, the palace maid seemed to remember something, pursed her lips, and lowered her eyes and said, "Lord Lang sent someone to the palace today, and asked the slave maid to bring you a message." ”
Lang Yue paused, knowing that it was Lang Qi, he stretched his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and asked, "What did my brother say?" ”
The palace maid's face was a little embarrassed, she raised her head slightly to look at Lang Yue's expression, and saw that Lang Yue's mood seemed to be very happy, so she dared to speak: "He said that he was in the Northern Xinjiang Restaurant, and he knew that Niangniang had summoned Li Chuxia to enter the palace, and asked Niangniang to think twice about doing things......
What she said was very tactful, but when it fell into Lang Yue's ears, it still stinged like a needle!
Lang Yue glared and turned her head suddenly, "Is that what my brother really said?" ”
This Lang Qi ......
The same is true of the assassination last time, he didn't help, and this time he even warned her?
What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Chuxia pour into Lang Qi?
Lang Yue gritted her teeth, her white hand clenched into a fist, her eyes gradually became cold, and the look of jealousy was vividly reflected on her face.
