Chapter 477: Meals

When Liu Yan went back again, Ginkgo came to report that the third prince had played and had won three times in a row to rest.

"What about Captain Tian?"

"Captain Tian has also won three games, and the princess sees, he is sitting under the cloth shed on the west side."

"Did the Third Emperor Brother fight with him?"

Ginkgo shook his head: "No, this is all a lottery, whether you can get one depends on whether you have a lot." ”

This Liu Yan knows.

However, Liu Yan also knows that there are too many places to do things like lottery. It's actually very simple to want two people to be drawn together, or not to be drawn together.

"How many people are there now?"

"There are more than fifty more."

Liu Yan looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and the competition would be suspended for half an hour at noon, and then continued in the afternoon until the last person won.

"Princess," Gui Yuan reminded softly beside him, "Judge Lu is also on the field." ”

Liu Yan raised his head and saw that Lu Yi and his opponent had already entered the arena of the competition, the two of them first saluted to the emperor, and then saluted the surroundings of the field, and finally the two saluted each other again, and as soon as the drum sounded, the competition began.

Liu Yan knew that Lu Yi would win - there was no suspense in this matter at all.

But knowing that she knows, she is still worried about him and worried about him.

There are always accidents of one kind or another, and there was one case this morning when a man's bone broke.

Fortunately, Lu Yi had no accidents in this game, and it didn't take much effort, Lu Yi's opponent saw that there was no hope of winning, so he simply admitted defeat neatly.

Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she realize that she hadn't blinked her eyes a few times for a while, and leaned forward.

She didn't have to turn her head to guess her father's current expression.

Liu Yan simply lowered his head and concentrated on drinking tea, as if he could act as if nothing had happened just now.

Father's face will inevitably not be too good-looking, and her actions are actually covering her ears and stealing the bell.

Of course, the performance of the masters also determines the attitude of the palace people and eunuchs. Liu Yan lowered his head to drink tea and pretended to be stupid, and Guiyuan and the others were all silent, one was counted as one, just like someone in the underground who dropped a big ingots waiting for them to pick them up.

Yao Deguang and the others, who served the emperor, also kept their mouths shut, not to mention how quiet it was, it was obvious that the emperor was not very happy, who would bump into it here, and it would be light to be reprimanded.

The drum sounded again, and Lu Yi's other party was changed.

Liu Yan didn't dare to raise her head and stare like she did just now, but she was still concerned in her heart.

Lu Yi's opponent in this scene is tall and big - Lu Yi is not short, but this person is more than half a head taller than him, his shoulders are very broad, he is a very strong person, the clothes on his body are tightly tightened, and he feels that he is about to be torn apart if he exerts a little effort.

This manpower must be very strong, and his fists and feet must be extraordinarily powerful.

Liu Yan couldn't help but be a little worried about Lu Yi.

As soon as her head was raised, the emperor coughed beside her.

Liu Yan didn't want to blatantly block him under his father's nose, so he lowered his head very cowardly.

However, Lu Yi still won this game, and it was very clean and beautiful. The opponent does have a lot of strength, but when the person is big, his movements tend to become bulky and not so dexterous.

The emperor saw that Lu Yi had won another game, and he didn't have any words of approval, his eyes swept over his side, glanced at Liu Yan, and ordered Yao Deguang: "Tea." ”

Yao Deguang hurriedly handed over the tea, and took this opportunity to say again: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother sent someone to pass the word and ask the emperor if he went over to eat at noon." ”

"Well, I'll just go and let the queen prepare a few dishes that the princess likes to eat and send them here."

Yao Deguang answered and sent someone to Queen Cao to spread the word.

Liu Yan sighed in his heart.

It seems that I have to dine with my father at noon.

I always feel that this meal is not delicious.

Usually, she also eats with her father and queen mother, and she has never been uncomfortable. But today...... Liu Yan always felt that her father specially called her to her side to sit just to stare at her.

What Liu Yan didn't expect was that she was not the only one who dined with her father, but also Liu Yu.

Liu Yu himself was also very surprised.

The last time she dined at the same table with the emperor, it was during the Shangyuan Festival!

Liu Yu has no complaints and dissatisfaction with this, since she knows her life experience, knows what the Cui family and Cui Concubine have done, she has no complicated feelings for the emperor in the past.

In the past, she was very eager to get her father's attention and love, but she was resentful and dissatisfied with his neglect.

Now she knows the emperor's reason for ignoring her, and she also understands that in this life, she can't get the emperor's wholehearted love like the fourth princess.

Except for the palace banquet during the festival, she almost didn't have the opportunity to dine with the emperor.

Empress Cao is very thoughtful - not only did she let the dining room prepare the dishes that the emperor and Liu Yan loved to eat, but even Liu Yu did not fall behind.

Liu Yu is now in better health than last year, the tonic medicine has not stopped, and the meals are also prepared according to the list prescribed by the imperial doctor. There is a chicken porridge for lunch today, and there are also angelica and other medicinal materials in it, which is specially prepared for Liu Yu.

As for Liu Yan, the dining room naturally dared not be contemptuous, and she recently liked sesame chicken and fresh bamboo shoot soup.

The emperor moved the chopsticks first, and Liu Yu picked up the bowl.

Liu Yan ate a piece of fish firstβ€”it was smooth and tender, with a unique freshness and sweetness, and there was no fishy smell.

The emperor instructed Yao Deguang: "This ham is good." ”

Yao Deguang has been serving the emperor for many years, and he didn't need more instructions from the emperor to personally distribute vegetables to the two princesses.

The ham was steamed just right, Liu Yan took a bite, nodded and said, "It's really delicious, thank you father." ”

Liu Yu also silently ate the ham, but she didn't say thank you.

The emperor later said: "This tofu soup is good. ”

Yao Deguang hurriedly filled each of the two princesses with a spoonful of soup.

The tofu soup is very light, the cabbage sum in it is crunchy, and the tofu melts in your mouth.

Liu Yan felt that today's father was a little strange.

The dishes are very palatable, but Liu Yan's mind is not on the dishes.

The father knew about Liu Yu, but he didn't say a word to Liu Yu.

There was no reprimand, nothing else was said.

Liu Yan quietly looked at his father, trying to find some clues from his expression.

But there really wasn't anything in my father's expression.

She also quietly looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was silent all the time, hanging his head to eat.

She was not apprehensive, nor did she show joy at the same table as her father.

couldn't see anything, Liu Yan also lowered his head and ate silently.

After this lunch, Liu Yan always felt that there seemed to be a tacit understanding between her father and her fifth sister that she didn't know.

But obviously from beginning to end, the father and the fifth sister didn't say a word.
