"Your Majesty." Li Ruiqing sighed, squeezed her hand and didn't let go.

Zhao Xiangling frowned: "Ruiqing, have you done it to me too many times recently?" ”

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but she heard someone whisper in her ear: "If Your Majesty wants to eat your own paws later, then the minister will really let go." ”

After speaking, he really let go, and Zhao Xiangling's elbow fell down, only to remember that there was a red-hot copper plate underneath.

Before she could react again, her hand was grabbed: "How? ”

Zhao Xiangling was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Not how!" Li Ruiqing, you want to die! ”

Li Ruiqing replied seriously: "I don't want to." ”

As he spoke, the meat on the table roasted out of the oil and sizzled. Seeing this, Li Ruiqing took out two pieces of meat that had been roasted until golden brown and put them on the plate.

Zhao Xiangling's eyes were hooked on the meat slices: "Can you eat it?" ”

"No, you can't."

"Can you eat it?"

"No way!"

"Can you eat it?"

"No!"

Holding Zhao Xiangling's head and keeping her at a certain distance from the meat slices, Li Ruiqing sighed deeply: "Your Majesty, how long have you been hungry in the palace?" ”

People who don't know still think that she has a cold food festival every day.

"For a long, long time." Raising this question, Zhao Xiangling thought carefully before answering, "Once upon a time, when I first became this emperor, I drank white porridge for a year. ”

At that time, my mother lied that she had died, but in fact she went out to find a way to relieve the fetal poison for her, and her brother was already wandering, so it was himself who inherited the unification.

The first emperor died, vegetarian for a year, and because she was the first empress in history to inherit the throne, she did not have the iron and blood methods of the first emperor, so she had to be at the mercy of those 'loyal' ministers.

On the grounds of praying for the blessings of the people, the ministers forced her to drink white porridge for a whole year, and made her thin into a bamboo pole.

Who said that the emperor could do whatever he wanted? It's just that everyone sees the bright and beautiful on the bright side, but they can't see that the bottom has been corroded and necrotic, full of maggots!

"So." Zhao Xiangling said, "After I completely seized power, I made up my mind that whoever dares to stop me from eating meat in the future will raise my Nine Dragons Throne and smash his head!" ”

She clenched her fists and smiled grimly.

"I don't know." Li Ruiqing whispered. Five years ago, Zhao Xiangling first ascended to the throne, and he was still hovering at the bottom of the officialdom, and he had no power to protect himself.

"There's a lot you don't know." Zhao Xiangling was proud, and reached out to steal the roasted meat from the plate in Li Ruiqing's hand, "The coming day is long, I have time to tell you slowly." ”

Li Ruiqing slapped her hand away with bamboo chopsticks: "Wait, it won't be too long." ”

Zhao Xiangling pursed his lips and took a few steps back to sit back on the group. I watched Li Ruiqing fry the sugar, put the meat into the pot and roll it twice, and spread the steamer with vegetable leaves.

"What's that? Take! Zhao Xiangling frowned, "I don't want to see green things, take them away!" ”

Li Ruiqing ignored her, put the meat slices on the table, covered the steamer, and turned his head to sit beside her: "Why do you hate green?" ”

The time he really spent with Zhao Xiangling was actually not long, especially after he joined the company, his understanding of Zhao Xiangling's daily life was basically zero.

"Why?" Zhao Xiangling tilted his head, "Because my father likes mung bean cakes." ”

When he and his mother set up a bureau together, he arranged for her and her brother to go down, and what was stuffed into her was a piece of mung bean cake. So every time Zhao Xiangling eats dessert, he must serve mung bean cake, and then every time only that plate is left untouched.

Li Ruiqing was silent. He was only in his early teens at the time of the turmoil, and at that time he only felt that the struggle for imperial power was too cruel, but now he has more emotions in retrospect.

"One day if you do something that makes me angry, I will hate white as much as I hate green now, and by the way, I will put a plate of pear blossom cake to commemorate you!" Zhao Xiangling stretched out his hand and made a motion of crushing his neck.

Li Ruiqing felt some pain in his neck. He changed the topic at the right time: "Your Majesty, what you want to give Miss Chen Si......"

"Here." took out a powder box from his arms, Zhao Xiangling handed it to Li Ruiqing, "I have already poured out the powder, this is what you want to give me." ”

He pulled out another: "This one is intended for her." ”

Both compacts were emptied, one with a butterfly painted on its head and a sparkling ruby on its end, and a peacock on its top with a turquoise gemstone embedded in its tail, as clear as a ripple of water.

"Here's this." Li Ruiqing pointed to the phoenix butterfly pattern and said softly.

Black and red are the perfect color combinations in the world.

"I think so, too." Zhao Xiangling smiled, "Zihan likes plain colors, and this box matches the clothes I gave her last time."

Li Ruiqing didn't care if he didn't match anything, he opened the box and saw the powder box that had been emptied inside, knowing that Zhao Xiangling was hinting that he was helping her make rouge.

"It's okay to do it for you, but Miss Chen Si can't." Li Ruiqing said, in a non-negotiable tone.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Xiangling propped his head, "Lord Zuo Xiang's fingers are expensive, of course I will do it myself, and I will never bother the adults a little bit, will I do it well?" ”

Li Ruiqing just wanted to nod, but when he smelled the smell in the air, his face changed: "It's not good." ”

He got up and uncovered it, and took the steamed meat from the cage.

Seeing that he was busy, Zhao Xiangling smiled and muttered, "And said, isn't this a dog's nose?" ”

The name Sanwang is really good to get!

Li Ruiqing didn't know what she thought, and if she knew, she would probably throw away the plum meat in her hand and feed it to the dog.

===

Late at night, Qifeng Palace is brightly lit.

Zhao Xiangling, dressed in a white silk shirt, sat at the table and looked at the burning brazier on the table in a daze.

No one came to disturb her, Qifeng Palace has always been deserted, and Qingyun, who was serving outside, was a stuffy gourd who didn't like to talk, so there was no sound in the dormitory.

Take out a letter from the box next to it. It was the letter accusing the left minister of rebellion.

Zhao Xiangling read and read, suddenly chuckled twice, and threw the letter into the brazier.

The tongue of fire licked up, and the flames were booming.

Zhao Xiangling muttered: "I knew that I wouldn't have been bothered by this kind of for so long." ”

It should have been burned in the first place.

How could Li Ruiqing betray himself? You should think about this yourself. He was not a man of power, he grew up.

The reason why he suddenly participated in the imperial examination was just because of Zhao Xiangwan's departure, but because he was the one who wanted to be the emperor.

If you want to say that the most dangerous place in the world is the palace, if you say that the most dangerous person in the world, there is no emperor.

From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to protect himself. It's a pity that I don't know kindness and don't accept his affection.

Summer Japan was hot, the brazier was scorching, and the beads of sweat on Zhao Xiang's forehead dripped down, and fell on the ebony-colored table and were imprinted by the firelight.

This letter, as long as she orders someone to read it out in the Jinluan Palace, Li Ruiqing will die. The reason why he didn't did it was because he didn't believe he would really do it.

Nowadays, it seems that not everyone wants to have a bad life.

Zhao Xiangling smiled, put out the brazier and clapped his hands and lay back on the cushion on the bed.

The cushion is filled with soft goose down, which can sink half a person with a slight turn, and Zhao Xiangling can't sleep a little after turning it over and over.
