"Liu Deshun made six dishes for the concubine in his dreams before, and the concubine wanted to ask the emperor to give him the grace to return to his hometown."

"Why do you want him to return to his hometown?" Su Ling asked rhetorically, "He has been in the palace for thirty years, and he has served two generations of kings, and he has been in charge of the family banquets in the past few years. If he is allowed to leave, what will happen to the family banquet in the palace after that? ”

"He's not the only chef in the palace. There must be a lot of people who have done well, otherwise how dare he say that he has returned to his hometown? Your Majesty, did you say that? ”

Su Ling thought for a while and said, "Although this is the case, but ...... Wouldn't it be better for me to let him stay? Let everyone else improve. ”

"Huh?" Luo Ge frowned and looked at him, "Your Majesty, why do you think like this differently from your concubines?" ”

"What's the difference?" Su Ling clasped his hands and waited for Luo Ge's answer.

"The concubines believe that there are many talents in the palace. If you don't let the old people move out of their positions, then where will the new people develop? Besides, it's not a good thing to repeat the same dishes every year in this imperial dining room. In a few years, the ministers may not be happy to attend all the banquets held in the palace. When the time comes, how will the emperor still have fun with the people? ”

Su Ling nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but ...... I don't feel like I'm tired of his dishes yet. ”

"Your Majesty, it's not right for you to say that." Luo Ge immediately denied it, "You obviously don't want the new imperial chef in the palace to appear. As the saying goes, there are many talents. Why can't you do it in this dining room? If Liu Deshun is allowed to continue in the palace, the other imperial chefs will not develop new dishes on their own, and they will not improve. In this way, the atmosphere of the entire imperial dining room will become a decline. When the time comes, there will be no delicious dishes in the palace. ”

This time, Luo Ge's rhetoric made Su Ling shake a little.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Ge continued: "Your Majesty, if you keep one person all the time, there will definitely be people who have opinions about him, which will also make him isolated. In this way, once he is isolated, then there will be people in the palace who will oppose him everywhere. If he does it right, someone will find a way to frame him when the time comes......"

"Stop." Su Ling interrupted Luo Ge and said, "According to what you say, if I don't let him go, will he lose his life?" ”

"I don't know if I will lose my life, but at least there is no good life."

"So...... Rong Zhen thinks about it for a while? Su Ling turned his head to look at her.

Luo Ge immediately looked angry when he saw him, and turned his head to stop looking at him.

At this time, Qianqiong, who had been silent, suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the slave can boldly put forward an opinion?" ”

"Here you are." Su Ling looked at him and nodded.

"Your Majesty, since Niangniang has made a request to you today, the slave feels that I can agree to Niangniang's request." Qianqiong said as she looked at Luo Ge, who had her back to them.

At this time, Luo Ge was also quietly waiting for Qianqiong's answer.

"Why?"

Seeing that Luo Ge didn't turn back, Qianqiong continued: "If the emperor agrees at this moment, maybe Niangniang won't be angry." ”

"Really?" Su Ling was a little unsure. But Luo Ge was happy in his heart.

Seeing that Luo Ge hadn't turned back yet, Qianqiong immediately continued: "The emperor believes in the slave, as long as you agree, Concubine Luo will definitely agree to you." ”

Su Ling said suspiciously: "Since Qianqiong has said it, then ...... Let Liu Deshun return to his hometown. ”

As soon as Su Ling finished speaking, Luo Ge immediately turned around, looked at Su Ling with a smile, and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor for Liu Deshun, so please trouble the emperor to find someone to draft the decree at this moment." ”

"Your Majesty, look." Seeing that Luo Ge was so happy, Qianqiong immediately reminded in a low voice.

Su Ling, who was stunned and looked at Luo Ge's smile, came back to his senses when he heard Qianqiong's prompt and said, "I didn't expect you to know quite well." In that case, then Concubine Luo will go back and wait, and I will immediately send someone to announce the decree. ”

"Then thank you to the emperor, and the concubine will retire." Luo Ge finished speaking and left.

Looking at the back of Luo Ge leaving, Su Ling watched stupidly, and didn't come back to his senses until Qianqiong reminded him that Luo Ge was far away.

"How the emperor? The minion is right? Qianqiong asked.

"Yes, and now she seems to be happy. Does that mean she already has a little bit of a liking for me? ”

"If it's okay, at least it's not like it used to be. Just now, the slave saw that the mother thanked the emperor. ”

"It seems that your method is working, and I continue to work hard."

In fact, Su Ling didn't know that Luo Ge was happy because she could leave Su Qianguo. Su Ling agreed, so he immediately went back to Wanshun Palace and found a way to inform Junren.

"Mother." Ding Lan looked at her happy appearance and said, "Will you be so happy now...... Suspicious? ”

"I don't want you to be so cautious." Luo Ge tapped her on the head, and then said, "Don't worry, even if someone thinks my behavior is weird now, they will only think that it is because I just asked the emperor for a decree, and the emperor agreed." The rest won't anyone think much about. ”

"So what are we going to do after that?" Ding Lan followed behind Luo Ge and asked in a low voice.

"You just have to follow me with peace of mind, and all the rest of the problems are not for you to worry about."

Although Ding Lan was still unsure in her heart, she still put away her worries.

When he arrived at Wanshun Palace, Luo Ge immediately asked Junlan to invite Junren in his personal name, and asked Junren to come directly to the main hall.

When he entered the main hall, he saw Junren and immediately saluted: "What did Niang Niang let her subordinates do?" ”

"The emperor has already agreed to make the decree, it is estimated that it will not be long before the decree will arrive in the imperial dining room, and you will go to Qingyuan Palace to inform Yuxuan when the time comes. And now there's one thing for you to do right away. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You have to find a way to send Ding Lan and Jun Lan to Yu Xuan. If anyone comes to inquire about it, you say that they have come to ask for my marriage. ”

"Mother?" Junren was stunned.

"Yes." Luo Ge nodded, "You just said that you want me to marry Junlan." ”

"Mother, this is not a big deal, is it?" Junren was worried that there would be unnecessary misunderstandings because of this.

"If you don't think it's good, tell me how you can reply to others the reason why you have been coming to Wanshun Palace frequently these days?"

"The subordinates will find a way, please don't worry."

Jun Ren thanked him and left, and Jun Lan, who was standing outside the door, had already heard their conversation. Seeing Junlan's sad look, Luo Ge called her in.

"Mother." Junlan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Luo Ge.

"Why don't you come in outside the door?" Luo Ge asked.

"Slave maid...... The slave doesn't know...... Should I come in? Junlan hesitated.

"Tell me why you shouldn't come in and why you should come in."

"I came in because the slave was supposed to serve the mother, but because Lord Kimihito was there...... Therefore, the slave maid felt that she should not come in. ”

"What's wrong with him? He's about the same status as you, so why is he an adult? Luo Ge corrected her statement.

"Niangniang, in the slave maid, I think he should always be the kind of person who is like a big man, because he doesn't have the temperament of an ordinary palace guard."

Listening to her evaluation, Luo Ge smiled and said, "I didn't expect him to be such a great person in your heart." Now it seems that you think of him far more than I estimated. ”

"Nope." Junren immediately denied it.

"You don't have to rush to deny it." Luo Ge comforted her, and then said, "I told you about your thoughts about Junren before, but now that I bring it up again, I still hope that you can remember what I said before and don't sink yourself too deeply." ”

Luo Ge mentioned this matter for the second time, which made Junren's whole heart feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.

"The slave knows." Junlan nodded, "The slave has retired." ”

Watching Junlan go out, Luo Ge still had a lot of uneasiness in her heart, she was really afraid that there would be an inevitable tragedy between Junlan and Junren. But when Luo Ge was worried, he handed over Junlan and Ding Lan to Junren and gave them to Heli.

Sure enough, Junren walked to his room and was called to the room by the chief of the guard.

"Someone told me that your kid has been running to Concubine Luo's Wanshun Palace every day recently." The chief guard looked nonchalant.

"Back to the Chief of the Guard, yes." Junren does not hide it, and he is bright and upright.

"Then what do you do every day?" The chief guard looked at him curiously.

Junren didn't hesitate, and said directly: "A few days ago, Xia Guan passed by Wanshun Palace, and the little palace maid in the palace accidentally wet Xia Guan's clothes, but she never apologized or said, and she hasn't washed my general. Therefore, Xia Guan went to Wanshun Palace every day. ”

The chief of the guard, who has been in the palace for many years, although he is a little reluctant to believe in this reason, but in the face of the possibility of the palace in the cabinet, this reason can also convince the chief of the guard.

"So what happened to you today?"

Speaking of this, Junren changed his expression instead, and said with a dejected look: "Who would have thought that he didn't get it at all." Today, Xia Guan also deliberately went to find Concubine Luo Niangniang to inquire about the little palace maid, who knows...... The little palace maid didn't want to come out to see me. Now it's fine, and the clothes are gone. also fell into Wanshun Palace with a bad reputation. ”

The chief of the guard laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a temperamental character. From the first day you came, I wondered if there was a big Buddha in my team, and I wouldn't laugh or get angry, so you could do a good job. ”

"The chief guard really thinks too highly of me." Junren said with a smile, "Xia Guan is just a child from the countryside, and it is not easy to enter this palace, so he is cautious in his words and deeds, for fear that what he does will embarrass the chief of the guard or bring trouble, so ...... will make the chief guard misunderstand. ”

The captain of the guard smiled more and more satisfied, and finally praised directly: "If only all my subordinates were as cautious in their words and deeds as you, it would save a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

Looking at the happy appearance of the head of the guard, Junren's heart was full of words that could not be expressed. In fact, he would have been dissatisfied with this chief guard for a long time, if it weren't for the protection of Luo Ge, according to his temperament, this chief guard might have been in a different place a long time ago.
