Chapter 15: Emperor Diao named Qi Ruiqing (2)
Shouldn't he feel ashamed and ashamed of his identity, and then get angry at himself?
How could he not be angry? How could he control himself from getting angry!
Zhao Xiangling suddenly felt very frustrated. She lowered her hands and slowly followed behind Li Ruiqing, completely losing her original excitement.
When he returned to the palace, what he saw was Li Ruiqing holding a chicken coop, with an interesting rooster standing in it, and Zhao Xiangling hanging his head at the back, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Celadon porcelain." Zhao Xiangling hung his head and said lightly.
Celadon was nervous in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty?" ”
Zhao Xiangling raised his head, his eyes misty. And then...... Her eyes suddenly lit up, snatched the chicken coop from Li Ruiqing's hand, and stuffed it in Celadon arms: "Go, go, raise Ruiqing well, use the best feed, the best water, the best cage, and the best vegetables." ”
Squinting, Zhao Xiangling saw that Li Ruiqing seemed to freeze.
Hmph, sure enough, it's calm on the surface.
"Ruiqing?" Celadon was stunned, looked at the rooster grinding its claws in the cage, and then looked at Li Ruiqing, who was standing straight and gentle, and immediately shut up.
"Forget it." Zhao Xiangling changed his mind again, "Go and ask the palace people to wash it, and I'll pick it up later." ”
Celadon looked at them strangely before going down with the chicken coop. As soon as she left, Qinghua and Qingge stood on the side, giggling. I probably thought the chicken's name was interesting.
Zhao Xiangling raised his head and glared at them: "What are you laughing at, stand up, there are no rules if the celadon is not there?" ”
Qingge hurriedly shut up, Qinghua couldn't help it, and kept trembling.
And then...... Qinghua's smile froze on her face.
"Ruiqing, I'm going to eat tonight, um, fried rice!"
Qinghua looked at Zhao Xiangling with a crying face, she was really about to have nothing to do. Zhao Xiangling waved his hand and signaled with his eyes that she was very useful and would not drive her out of the palace.
Qinghua forced a smile, pulled Qingge's sleeve, and wiped a handful of non-existent tears.
Zhao Xiangling sat down and thought about it: "I want green beans and corn, and diced carrots, by the way, I also want meat!" ”
"Don't fry." Li Ruiqing and Li Guoshi's refusal is always so simple and rude.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Zhao Xiangling hugged the big rooster that had been washed, wrapped a snow-white brocade around its neck, and tied a bow.
The rooster Ruiqing was very dissatisfied, and kept rubbing the bow with his covered mouth, trying to untie it.
The national teacher Ruiqing was also very dissatisfied, so he added corn and diced carrots to the rice and stirred it vigorously.
Emperor Xiang Zero was very satisfied, smelled the smoked aroma on the big rooster, and nodded: "Ruiqing, you finally don't stink." ”
The rooster Ruiqing protestingly chopped it in Zhao Xiangling's hand with its tied mouth.
The national teacher Ruiqing grieved and angrily chopped lightly with the spatula in his hand in front of Zhao Xiangling.
Zhao Xiangling compared it and laughed: "I really have a vision, you are really like." ”
Rooster Ruiqing raised his head proudly, and the national teacher Ruiqing ...... Abrupt.
Touching the rooster's shiny tail feathers, Zhao Xiangling turned it around, adjusting the bow on its chest from time to time, and straightening the long 'cape' behind it.
Li Ruiqing put the fried rice heavily in front of Zhao Xiangling: "Your Majesty, wash your hands, don't play." ”
Zhao Xiangling took some fried rice to feed to the rooster Ruiqing, but was stopped by the national teacher Ruiqing: "It doesn't eat this." ”
Zhao Xiangling thought for a while, and said well: "Then what to eat?" Pastry? Gruel? Do you want to eat barbecue? ”
Li Ruiqing sighed, took out a plate, filled it with some green beans and diced radish, and gave it to Qinghua: "Take it out and give it food." ”
"I don't agree!" Zhao Xiangling carried the chopsticks and said sharply.
Qinghua was about to catch the rooster, and Ruiqing's hand stopped.
The biggest master in the palace is, of course, Zhao Xiangling, and it stands to reason that she can only listen to Zhao Xiangling's orders.
But she listened to Li Ruiqing's words.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiangling didn't embarrass her because of this incident.
She put the chopsticks in the rice and slowly pulled out the green beans inside: "Ruiqing will stay here, and it will accompany me to eat." ”
When the national teacher Ruiqing heard this name now, his heart trembled inexplicably. He made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, do you still want to eat?" ”
"Is there any conflict?" Zhao Xiangling was determined to leave the rooster Ruiqing behind.
In order to cooperate, the rooster Ruiqing also made a string of purring sounds from his tied mouth.
"Okay." National Shi Ruiqing smiled lightly, turned his head to Qinghua and said, "Open the rooster's mouth, let it jump in Your Majesty's bowl, and pop out a bowl of chicken feathers, so that Your Majesty can taste what chicken feathers taste." ”
Zhao Xiangling was puzzled, raised his head and asked Qinghua: "Really?" ”
Qinghua nodded hurriedly.
"Then Ruiqing, be obedient, or you will eat with your mouth closed?" Zhao Xiangling rubbed the rooster Ruiqing's head, and the national teacher Ruiqing felt that his head hurt a little.
In the end, under the seduction of the aroma of fried rice, the rooster Ruiqing was still taken out.
Zhao Xiangling tasted Li Ruiqing's fried rice with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Ruiqing, why don't you sit?" ”
Looking at her grinning face, Li Ruiqing thought that she was also smiling and calling the chicken like this, and he didn't want to sit down.
Zhao Xiangling picked out the green beans in the rice, and said to Li Ruiqing: "Next time you fry rice, remember to pick out the green beans after frying, I don't like green beans." ”
"Picky eating is not a good habit." Li Ruiqing said.
"Hmm." Zhao Xiangling responded, his hand movements were still not slow, and he put the green beans in another bowl.
Li Ruiqing stretched out his hand to block her. His expression was clearly not allowed. He not only blocked it, but also poured back the green beans that Zhao Xiangling had worked so hard to allot.
Zhao Xiangling pressed his hand, just wanted to get angry, and felt that something seemed wrong. She looked down and saw several red dots on Li Ruiqing's fingers, as if they had been pierced by something.
Pierced? Zhao Xiangling has always been sensitive to these things. She looked up at Li Ruiqing and found that the latter did not mean to explain.
Poisoning, this was Zhao Xiangling's first reaction, patting her side, she gave him a place: "Sit." ”
Li Ruiqing did not refuse. He lifted his robe and sat next to Zhao Xiangling, and explained in a low voice: "If Your Majesty is a picky eater, if you don't realize it for a day or two, it will always accumulate and cause trouble to your body. ”
"Got it." Zhao Xiangling mixed the green beans into the rice, watched Li Ruiqing eat first, and then opened his mouth to swallow it.
The two of them ate slowly, Zhao Xiangling seemed to be a little bored, and suddenly asked, "Ruiqing, do you know the news of the recent crazy rise in the price of rice and grain in Jiangnan?" ”
Intentionally or unintentionally, it seems to be a casual remark, but it is a tight temptation.
Li Ruiqing has been in the phase for three years, and although he is not very familiar with Zhao Xiangling's style of doing things, he will never deviate too much. She was testing herself.
He said slowly: "The minister knows. ”
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Li Ruiqing wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and put it aside: "What does Your Majesty think?" ”
Don't dodge, don't dodge, just ask how to look.
He happened to avoid the biggest key: in this palace wall, under the layers of Zhao Xiangling's guard, how did he deliver the news, how did he know the movements outside?
