Chapter 203: I can't bear it
Leng Yue entered the palace and was arranged to work in the imperial kitchen, and the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen was instructed by the virtuous father-in-law, and he was polite to Leng Yue, "Madam, you can help prepare for today's dinner, if you don't understand, if you don't know, you can ask me, the virtuous prince is waiting for the slave's house, and he has to take care of his wife." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law! I'm really bothering you. Leng Yue listened to Lian Hao's words, don't save money after entering the palace, otherwise you will be put in small shoes if you are not careful, Leng Yue also knows the truth that the little ghost is difficult, so he took a piece of silver and secretly stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen, and blessed himself and said: "In the future, the days in the palace will depend on the father-in-law."
"Well said, well said!" The imperial kitchen eunuch touched a piece of silver, and was even more happy, and hurriedly beckoned the eunuchs and palace maids who were working in the imperial kitchen to come over, "This is General Lian's wife, who was ordered to enter the palace to serve the emperor's meal, you should be careful to help the kitchen in the future, I can't spare you if there is a mistake." ”
"Yes, Bai Gonggong!" The eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial kitchen responded in unison.
"Then thank you all for taking care of you." Leng Yue bowed politely to the eunuchs and palace maids standing in a row.
Father-in-law Bai asked Leng Yue: "What dishes are Madame going to cook for the emperor's dinner?" I'll let them help Madame chop the ingredients. ”
Leng Yue thought for a while and said: "It's a hot day today, I think the emperor's appetite is extremely bad, why don't I prepare some light dishes for the emperor to cook dinner for the emperor today, my father-in-law thinks it's good?"
"It's still Madame's thoughtfulness." What can Bai Gonggong say, the emperor has eaten very little of the meals he has arranged in the past few days, and he has long heard that General Lian's wife makes a good dish, and he has a very good appetite for the emperor, but he is a little puzzled, why did the emperor only summon General Lian's wife into the palace today?
Leng Yue purified water began to prepare the dishes that the emperor wanted to eat, and prepared more than a dozen, including steamed sturgeon, bitter gourd fried meat, and then steamed eggs, etc., which were both appetizing and light, and Bai Gonggong was very satisfied when he saw Leng Yue so dedicated.
After the dishes were prepared, the emperor's father-in-law led a team of royal forest soldiers and more than a dozen little eunuchs into the imperial kitchen, and the hundred father-in-law greeted him, and was startled when he saw such a big battle, "Father-in-law De, why are so many people testing poison today?" ”
Father-in-law De shook off the dust and only said, "Don't do much!"
"Yes!" Bai Gonggong took a few steps back, and then looked at Leng Yue, the emperor doesn't trust the general's wife.
It's nothing, the emperor is afraid that she will harm him, so he can not let her do the work of the imperial cook, find an independent courtyard and put her under house arrest, he wants to eat her fried dishes, and he is afraid that others will harm him, so why bother.
In the past, Lian Hao once told her that he wanted her to enter the palace to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, thinking that she was the emperor's daughter, but now she is very dedicated, and the emperor doesn't believe her.
If it weren't for her mother's death that attracted the emperor's attention to her, Leng Yue thought that the emperor wouldn't be able to get rid of Liu Xiang.
It's just that she doesn't understand that the emperor wants to use Shen Yuehe, why would he let Shen Yuehe marry Cao Yongyi? Later, did you follow Lian Hao? Wouldn't it be better to leave Shen Yuehe in the capital?
Bring sand to the beach!
Leng Yue is really tired for the emperor, is it necessary to work so hard to torture a weak Shen Yuehe?
After trying the dishes, Father-in-law De shook off the dust again, and let the eunuchs under him leave the imperial kitchen with the dishes.
When the emperor saw these dishes, he had a great appetite and asked Gonggong De: "Have you tried poison?"
Father-in-law replied respectfully: "The emperor can rest assured, they have all been tested, they are non-toxic, and the slave thinks that Shen Yuehe doesn't have the courage to dare to murder the emperor."
"Hmm." The emperor hummed softly, for Shen Yuehe, he didn't have to let her die, nor did he have to keep her, for him, Shen Yuehe was also a dispensable person.
Keep her, the biggest advantage is to be able to make a table of good dishes, kill her, you can break the general's thoughts, and treat his princess well.
What bothered him the most was that Liu Nantian and his son! In order to protect Shen Yuehe, Liu Linzhi always caused him some trouble from time to time and warned him, so he couldn't deal with Shen Yuehe.
Liu Lin Zhi is elusive, he wants to act rashly, he is afraid that Shen Yuehe will be killed by him in this second, and he will be in a different place in the next second, and the emperor feels a chill in his neck every time he thinks that Liu Lin Zhi can kill the close guards in the palace.
"I heard that the princess entered the palace today? Father-in-law, go and invite the prince and the princess to accompany me to dinner. "The emperor couldn't eat so much alone, so he asked Gonggong De to invite Princess Luxuan over, I haven't seen her for a few months, and I really want to think about it.
"Minion, I'm going to please." Father-in-law De smiled and stepped back.
The emperor still has the prince and the princess in his heart, and it would be better if the prince fought for a little energy, thinking like this to the prince's father-in-law.
Since Princess Luxuan got married, every time she entered the palace for the night, she stayed in the prince's east palace, and the princess didn't have to think about it to know that the princess must be chatting with the prince and waiting for dinner at this time.
"Hail to the prince! Blessed is the princess! When Gonggong De saw the prince and Princess Luxuan, he invited him, and then said, "The emperor invited the prince and princess to come over for dinner."
"I don't want to go, sister, if I go, my father asks me about my homework again, and if I can't answer, my father will be angry again." The prince shook his head, pulling his sister's arm in fear.
"Don't be afraid! With my sister here, if my father dares to ask you about your homework, I will also ask him what family happiness is! Princess Luxuan said hatefully.
"Prince, it's not the old slave who said you, the prince should work hard, you are the prince, how can the future emperor lose to a prince in his homework? What a debt of dedication to you. Seeing that the prince was so afraid of the emperor, Duke De hated that iron could not become steel.
The prince looked at his sister, Princess Luxuan knew that Gonggong De was kind in his words, but he was unwavering in defending her brother's heart, what happened to the prince's bad homework? Who said that to be an emperor, you must be able to read? As long as the power will be able to check and balance the ministers of the DPRK and China, it will be fine.
"Let's go, don't let my father wait." Princess Luxuan patted her brother's hand and said.
When the emperor was waiting for the prince and Princess Luxuan, he drank a bowl of cold drinks, and when he was comfortable drinking, he saw the prince and Princess Luxuan coming in, so he introduced them to the two sisters and brothers: "Come on, drink a bowl of this chilled juice, calm the heat, my father drank it, quenched his thirst and appetized, it was very good." ”
Duke Lu Xuan was not unprepared, seeing her father's face admiring Shen Yue and his cooking skills like this, he really wanted to take a knife and kill her father right now.
In order for her brother to ascend the throne smoothly in the future, everything has to be endured.
"It's a little hot, my father is really thoughtful." Princess Luxuan walked over and sat down with a smile, took the chilled juice that the palace maid packed for her, tasted it, sweet and sour, and said with a smile: "It's really good." ”
The crown prince was relieved to see that his father was smiling and not being as strict with him as before.
The emperor didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, until he rinsed his mouth after eating, and then said to Princess Luxuan: "Go home after eating." ”
Princess Luxuan raised her head and asked, "What do you mean, Father?" Don't like your retainers to stay in the palace? ”
Are you afraid that she will protect her brother and make trouble with him?
"Shen Yuehe is now detained in the palace by his father, Xuan'er, you should take this opportunity to repair the relationship between husband and wife with General Lian, my father hopes that you can be happy."
Although Xuan'er ate quietly with him at dinner, he could see that Xuan'er was not happy in his heart, the more he saw that Xuan'er was not noisy, the more guilty he felt about his princess, if he had gotten rid of Liu Xiang six years ago, so many things would not have happened.
It's also because he was afraid that Liu Nantian's dog thief would be suspicious, so he didn't send someone to find out Shen Yuehe's whereabouts, so that Liu Nantian lived for so long, and let his Xuan'er know Lian Hao by mistake, and Lian Hao loved Shen Yuehe like his life, which hurt his Xuan'er's heart.
"No need for my father, my son will go back, and I can't talk to Lian Hao, let alone let him accompany my son, I'll stay in the palace to accompany my brother, I heard my brother say that my father was not satisfied with my brother's homework during this time, and it happened that my son stayed and helped my father watch my brother and don't let him be lazy." Princess Lu Xuan snorted coldly in her heart, her father really did everything to his children, and wanted to send her back, so that she could have a deep relationship with Shen Yue and her father and daughter, and not offend her, did you help her?
The emperor was not reluctant, so he said: "Then Xuan'er, you decide for yourself, the palace is also your home, you can stay if you want to, but your younger brother ......"
The emperor shook his head, he hated iron very much.
Youwang is three years younger than him, the way of Confucius and Mencius, the way of politics, is more proficient than the prince, and Youwang can also comment on his own opinions, which really wins his heart.
And what about the crown prince? I can't even understand the meaning in the book, is it really good to hand over the country to him?
When the prince saw that his father mentioned him again, he was very frightened and hid behind his sister, and when Princess Luxuan saw this, she hated her father a little more, and scared her brother like this, even if her brother read through poetry and books, and saw such a strict father, he was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.
"Father, the minister will take his younger brother back." Princess Luxuan saluted the emperor.
"Well, go ahead." The emperor saw that their sister and brother were in deep love, and he couldn't bear to scold the prince in front of Princess Luxuan, so he nodded and said.
Leng Yue didn't do much, just waiting for the emperor to eat three meals a day, plus Xiao Night, and there was a break time in the middle, Leng Yue was also happy to be idle, and when he had nothing to do, he played with the eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial kitchen, and deliberately lost some money to them, so that they were happy, after all, Princess Luxuan now lives in the palace, and she is the one who sharpened her head to harm her anytime and anywhere.
Buy more people's hearts, and there are multiple guarantees.
"Buy big, buy big!" Leng Yue made piles and let them bet, and the screams were so excited that they were about to collapse the house.
Seeing that there were more and more piles of silver in front of them, Leng Yue deliberately put water, they bought big and opened big, so that they could return with a full load, otherwise with her ability to throw dice, she would not lose them only trouser forks.
"Haha, it's big, it's big! We're going to lose again, ma'am, and give the money. The eunuchs and palace maids who had won the money were all red and jumped with excitement.
"I've lost two hundred taels of silver, why don't I have a handful?" Leng Yue looked at the dice and pouted, "It's too evil." ”
"Alright, alright, it's almost the emperor's supper, we should go and prepare." The hundred fathers paid more than 30 taels, and beckoned everyone to do things with the silver: "Madame wants to pull the capital, let's continue tomorrow." ”
"It's fine." Leng Yue didn't feel sorry for Yinzi at all.
The little eunuch on duty in the imperial kitchen came over and muttered a few words in the ear of the hundred grandfathers, and the hundred grandfathers looked at Leng Yue with a worried face, the first day that the lady came, the princess was so impatient that she wanted to harm her.
