Chapter 410: The elders of the Lang family enter the palace
Not long after this happened, Lang Qi knew, it can be seen that the Lang family's eyeliner and power in Beijing are beyond Li Chuxia's imagination, and the imperial concubine's brother who doesn't care about the world and has time to hang out with her all day long doesn't seem to be really idle clouds and wild cranes.
After thinking about and positioning Lang Qi in his heart, Li Chuxia stabilized his mind and continued to be the chef of his imperial dining room.
Although at the moment, Yan Ruoxi has been imprisoned and poses no threat to her for the time being, the power of the Lang family still exists, and the grievances between them and the Lang family have not yet been resolved.
Therefore, it cannot be taken lightly and fall into the handle of Lang Yue.
Thinking so, he began to knead the dough in his hands, and suddenly saw an imperial chef come over and said: "Today, the imperial concubine has relatives who have entered the palace and ordered us to prepare for a good life, chef, I heard that you have lived in Northern Xinjiang for a period of time before, can you think of the dishes to entertain?" ”
The relatives of the imperial concubine?
This Lang Yue has been in the palace for many years, and Lang Qi has been staying in the mansion in the capital, could it be that the Lang family's parents are here? Thinking about it, I feel that it is unlikely, at this time, it is not the New Year's holiday, and suddenly visit?
She asked curiously: "Who is the imperial concubine?" ”
The imperial chef wrinkled his eyebrows and muttered: "Specifically, I don't know very well, I heard that it is the elder of the Lang family, and he was summoned to the palace this time." ”
"Huh." Li Chuxia snorted lightly, this Yan Ruoxi has just been imprisoned, and things have not yet reached the point where the dust has fallen, Lang Yue can't bear it anymore, the Lang family keeps gathering in Beijing, aren't you afraid that Emperor Mingde will be suspicious?
Thinking about it, he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Lang Yue's gourd, so he glanced at the imperial chef, nodded and said, "I know, I'll make two northern Xinjiang dishes later, and personally send them to Lang Guifei's palace." ”
The Imperial Chef nodded, and stepped back.
At this time, Li Chuxia kept in her hands, and immediately began to take charge, according to the past few years of her life in Northern Xinjiang, she is now familiar with Northern Xinjiang cuisine, and soon, she made two improved versions of Northern Xinjiang new dishes. Two more little imperial chefs were called over and sent to Langyue Palace together.
The two newly made dishes were extremely fragrant, as soon as the lid on the plate was opened, in an instant, a stream of incense gushed out, permeating the whole room, the gray-haired Lang family elder smelled it, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant!" It smells so good! ”
Lang Yue smiled and said: "It's delicious, you can eat more, and now that you are in this palace, you don't need to be polite." Anyway, this chef is very powerful, she can make different tricks for you every day. ”
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Li Chuxia from time to time.
And the elder of the Lang family also looked Li Chuxia up and down along Lang Yue's line of sight, seeing that Li Chuxia was dressed in imperial kitchen clothes, and his face was stained with some stains because of being soaked in the kitchen for a long time, but those eyes were exceptionally clear and transparent, which was fascinating.
The elder of the Lang family tasted a bite of the food, felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and couldn't help laughing: "This Jiangbei Palace is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this girl looks young, and she can make such delicious Northern Xinjiang food." Girl, you're from Northern Xinjiang, right? ”
The latter sentence was obviously said to Li Chuxia.
Li Chuxia smiled slightly, and was about to reply, but he heard Lang Yue say in a strange voice on the side, "Isn't it from Northern Xinjiang?" Speaking of which, their family also has a bit of a relationship with us. ”
"Oh?" The elder of the Lang family raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lang Yue, and then turned back to look at Li Chuxia, looking not very convinced.
"She, she is from the Yan family, which is hostile to us, speaking of which, she should be the only bloodline of the Yan family, right?" When Lang Yue said this, the corners of her mouth even hooked up a smile that seemed to be nothing, and the corners of her slightly raised eyes cast a sarcastic look at Li Chuxia obliquely, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Li Chuxia pursed her lips and looked at Lang Yue, the hands covered under the slightly long sleeves had been clenched into fists.
In fact, Lang Yue is right, the relationship between the two of them is still there, although this is already a matter of the older generation, but grievances and hatreds should not be forgotten.
The elder of the Lang family turned around and looked at Li Chuxia again, this time, his gaze was obviously different, as if with a thorn, he rolled on Li Chuxia's body a few times, as if he wanted to pierce her, "Heh, it turned out to be the Yan family, at the beginning, didn't you kill them all?" ”
It seems that the grievances between the Yan family and the Lang family are not as simple as they know at present, and I am afraid that there is still an inside story in this. Otherwise, why would this Lang family elder hate her so much?
However, when the anger was sprinkled on her like this, she was a little unhappy, frowned a pair of willow eyebrows, and sneered: "The grievances between our two families will be slowly settled in the future." However, Guifei Niangniang, you blatantly invited the elders here, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be suspicious? ”
Lang Yue didn't think so, but when her eyes touched the somewhat sarcastic smile on Li Chuxia's face, she couldn't help but become worried, "Your Majesty...... What are the suspicions? ”
"Now, whether it is the harem or the court, the Lang family is bigger, and if there is an emperor in the future, it will inevitably affect the imperial power." Li Chuxia watched their faces turn a little blue little by little, and a touch of coldness appeared in his heart, "Before this, the emperor will definitely find a way to get rid of you." ”
When Lang Yue heard this, she was obviously a little scared, her face looked a little pale, but in the end, she was still hard-mouthed, "You don't have to be alarmist, Li Chuxia, let me tell you, even if you say so, I will definitely get rid of you." ”
Li Chuxia smiled and nodded, "Chuxia naturally knows, I just want to remind the imperial concubine." Otherwise, this battle, even if it is won in early summer, will not be won. ”
This is clearly Li Chuxia's psychological hint to Lang Yue, even if Lang Yue doesn't believe her words, he will still subconsciously follow her words to think, and be wary of Emperor Mingde.
After all, Li Chuxia was just a small imperial chef, even if Baili Yunzheng came back from before, according to Emperor Mingde's level of defense against Baili Yunzheng, it would be impossible for the couple to jump into the sky.
Thinking about it this way, sure enough, Emperor Mingde is the threat.
These words obviously frightened Lang Yue, but the elder of the Lang family on the side was not so easy to coax, he glanced at Li Chuxia coldly, and chuckled: "You don't have to scare us so much, the emperor and the imperial concubine are already husband and wife, in order to save your life, you are quite wise." ”
After such a little bit of attention from the elders of the Lang family, Lang Yue reacted, and glared at Li Chuxia, who had just been alarmist, with anger on her face, "Li Chuxia, this palace really underestimated you." ”
Li Chuxia shrugged helplessly, it seemed that they really didn't believe it.
So, she didn't continue to entangle with them, but smiled lightly: "Okay, then I didn't say that." Today's early summer is just to send this northern Xinjiang dish over, and the two of you eat this northern Xinjiang cuisine, so it's good to get used to it. ”
After speaking, he saluted them very respectfully.
Lang Yue was deflated, obviously she didn't want to let Li Chuxia leave easily, she opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but she heard a little eunuch outside singing in a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Lang Yue could only glance at Li Chuxia fiercely, followed the elder Lang family to get up, and walked outside, before he took two steps out, the bright yellow color walked in and asked them to be exempt.
Emperor Mingde's gaze turned around the room and fell on Li Chuxia's face, but he quickly turned away, and said with a smile: "There is a strong fragrance in this room, and when you smell it, you know that it was made in early summer." ”
As he spoke, he walked over, picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth, his face was full of smiles, and he continued to eat with "not bad" in his mouth.
Lang Yue and the elders of the Lang family came over very diligently, added a glass of wine to Emperor Mingde, and after getting Emperor Mingde's consent, they sat down together and ate with Emperor Mingde.
Seeing this, Li Chuxia didn't want to stay here and continue to disturb them, so he quietly left while they weren't paying attention.
And the three people in the room obviously didn't notice Li Chuxia's actions.
Emperor Mingde smiled and said: "Elder Lang, you just entered the palace today, don't you know if everything in this palace is still used to?" This Northern Xinjiang meal, it's a good meal, right? ”
I don't know why, when it comes to food in Northern Xinjiang, when he thinks of Li Chuxia, he always has a layer of tenderness in his eyes, and others can't notice it, but Lang Yue does notice it.
The elder of the Lang family nodded, "The emperor is worried, which really flatters the grass people." It's that I've been pampered since I was a child, and I'm also restless in the clan, so I think I've caused a lot of trouble to the emperor in the palace, right? ”
From this point of view, this Lang family elder is quite an elder, and what he said is extremely polite. Even if both sides know it, it's just a polite remark on the scene.
Emperor Mingde waved his hand and said: "The elder is serious, in the past few years that Concubine Ai has been in the palace, she has been doing her best to help me take care of the affairs of the harem. ”
As he spoke, he cast a grateful glance at Lang Yue, and when it fell on Lang Yue's eyes, it was full of affection, which made Lang Yue hang her head in shame, her cheeks flushed slightly, "It is a blessing for the concubine to be able to share the emperor's worries." The emperor can rest assured that the concubines are loyal to the emperor and will not be like Concubine Yan. ”
This is based on what Li Chuxia said, he wants to show his mind to the emperor, so that he will not be suspicious of himself, and secondly, he also wants the emperor to deal with Yan Ruoxi as soon as possible.
Emperor Mingde naturally knew Lang Yue's intentions, and faced the elders of the Lang family, Emperor Mingde said: "Don't worry, Concubine Ai, I will definitely deal with Concubine Yan well." ”
After coming out of the Langyue Palace, Emperor Mingde suddenly stopped, took a deep look at the palace gate, turned around, and walked to the prison where Yan Ruoxi was imprisoned.
The damp and filthy breath filled the entire air, Yan Ruoxi was dressed in shabby clothes, lying on the ground in embarrassment, and when he saw Emperor Mingde, his dirty face was full of distorted smiles, and he squirmed like a worm.
"Your Majesty, the emperor saved me, I was wronged!"
