Chapter 228 Approach
"That's what you said! At the end of the palace banquet, let me see Xu Yuzhi. "The palace is not as good as the outside of the palace, Lin Shuiyun doesn't dare to make too many mistakes, besides, Xu Youzhi and Ye Qingqiu have a marriage contract, even if Ye Qingqiu doesn't let her see her, she doesn't make a big deal. At this moment, she had to listen to Ye Qingqiu's patience and wait for the banquet to end.
"Nature."
"The grass people have seen His Highness." Xu Wei walked over, she deliberately dressed up tonight, whether it was clothes or the decoration on her head, it could be said that she was one in a hundred, in order to leave a good image in the eyes of these princes and ministers.
Tonight's Xu Wei's attitude towards Ye Qingqiu was very respectful and worshipful. There is no disdain and disrespect for that day.
Ye Qingqiu glanced at her lightly, her lips opened lightly, her breath was like an orchid, her teeth vaguely showed just the right smile, and she said softly, "Miss Xu doesn't need to be polite." ”
"Your Highness!" Xu Wei never thought that Ye Qingqiu would be so easy to speak, originally she was worried that Ye Qingqiu would take the opportunity to retaliate, it seemed that she was too careful. Xu Wei raised her head and looked at Ye Qingqiu's gaze with a slight flattery.
Along with Xu Wei was Lin Shuihan, Lin Shuihan glanced at Xu Wei who was strong on the wall grass sarcastically, and there was a trace of anger in his heart. I flattered her just now, and in the blink of an eye, I came to please Ye Qingqiu again, this woman's face is really thick.
It's shameless.
Ye Qingqiu was pretending to be around with Xu Wei here, and a female talent came to the door, and said in Ye Qingqiu's ear, "The empress asked Her Highness to come over." ”
Ye Qingqiu nodded, and then left the palace and went to the empress's bedroom. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace of the Empress Mansion, the subordinates guarding the door saw Ye Qingqiu and immediately preached, "Your Highness has arrived!" ”
Ye Qingqiu Lian moved lightly, walked in, went to the innermost, and reached out to pick up the pearl curtain. Where the curtain sounds. The empress and the eldest prince sitting on the soft collapse looked up one after another.
"Grandmother looking for me?" Ye Qingqiu walked in with a smile. Saluted to the empress, "I've seen my grandmother." ”
"I've seen Uncle Emperor."
The empress took Ye Qingqiu's hand with a smile and pulled her to sit down beside her. The eldest prince turned his head sideways and didn't look at Ye Qingqiu.
The eldest prince doesn't bird himself, Ye Qingqiu has already gotten used to it, and he doesn't care. The only thing that can make everyone like themselves is silver.
And she, Ye Qingqiu, is not silver, and she can't make everyone like her.
"I called you here to ask, how are the preparations for the palace banquet? When will it start. The empress looked at Ye Qingqiu and smiled kindly.
"It's all ready, just wait for the Third Emperor Uncle, as soon as the Third Emperor Uncle comes, you can have a banquet."
"Oh, I've already sent someone to the Three Emperors' Mansion, and I guess I'll be here soon."
"So good?" Ye Qingqiu's face just showed joy, and then he said worriedly, "Grandmother really wants to see tonight's banquet?" "Ye Qingqiu didn't really want the empress to attend the banquet, because tonight's banquet was not the same as before.
I'm afraid tonight's banquet will be unforgettable for everyone.
"It's okay, as the king of a country, I should be an example!" Ye Qingqiu had already told the empress about the banquet, and because of this, the empress felt more and more that she should participate and be the leader.
Lin Yaru, who was on the Taishi chair on the side, listened, with a look of doubt on her face. A bad feeling welled up in my heart.
But the empress participated, how dare she say nothing. Ye Qingqiu was talking to the empress here, and in less than half an hour, Liu Er, who had gone to the Three Emperors' Mansion, came back.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the third prince is here." Liu Er walked in and saluted the empress and Ye Qingqiu.
When the empress heard this, she said, "Then let's go." The empress got up, Ye Qingqiu and the eldest prince supported the empress one by one, and led the subordinates to the Cheng'en shop where the banquet was held.
As soon as he ruled the Chengen Palace, someone announced, "The empress has arrived, Her Royal Highness has arrived!" ”
"See the Empress, see Your Highness!" The civil and military officials and the people who participated in the palace banquet knelt a little.
Ye Qingqiu helped the empress into the hall, and the empress sat on the throne, and then glanced at the lowly minister, "Zhong Aiqing is alive." The empress raised her hand, and the old man's voice reached every corner of the hall with a strong force.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Emperor Xie"
Everyone got up and sat back in their seats, while Ye Qingqiu was pulled by the empress to sit down. Ever since Ye Qingqiu entered the Chengen Palace, he felt an angry gaze staring at him.
The owner of this gaze is her Third Emperor Uncle, Lin Yalan. Why Lin Yalan was so angry, Ye Qingqiu was naturally clear in his heart.
Ye Qingqiu's graceful eyes smiled at Lin Yalan. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
"Let's get started!" The empress tilted her head, looked at Ye Qingqiu lovingly, and said softly. At this moment, the empress's tone of voice or the expression on her face is not like the king of a country who is high, but an amiable elder.
Lin Shuiyun and Lin Shuihan's complexions changed, and a trace of jealousy flashed in their beautiful eyes, and they immediately returned to normal.
"Yes!" Ye Qingqiu got up and bowed slightly towards the empress, then straightened up, clapped his hands, and with the applause in the Cheng'en Palace, at the door of the palace, a group of palace women poured in, and the tray in each palace e's hand was covered with silk red cloth.
Seeing this scene, everyone became more and more confused, it stands to reason that in previous years' palace banquets, the dim sum had been put on the table early for people to enjoy, but recently, there was no Longjing tea on the table.
Now it's finally served, and it's still so mysterious.
Everyone only felt that their brows were bulging, and looking at the thing covered with a red cloth in front of them, the bad premonition in their hearts became heavier and heavier.
Ye Qingqiu had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and the moon bent Shuang Daiman's wonderful eyes were full of smiles and looked at the people he loved below, seeing the extremely ugly complexions on their faces, the smile on the corners of his mouth expanded more and more.
Gong E put on something mysterious, so she hunched over and slowly retreated. Ye Qingqiu got up slowly, her beautiful eyes glanced around, lightly opened her red lips, and said softly, "I guess you are very curious about the things in front of you." ”
"The mysterious thing on the table is that His Highness has come up with a way to get rid of locusts." Ye Qingqiu's eyes glanced at the mysterious thing covered with red silk in front of him.
Reaching out and pinching the corner of the red cloth, there was no smile on her delicate face. Some of them all have solemn and serious looks.
"Next, you may think it is ridiculous, and even think that His Highness is crazy........" With a gentle tug of his hand, the red silk was uncovered, revealing his true face with a mysterious low.
"Ahh
"Bang Bang Bang"
When the red silk was uncovered, everyone screamed in fright, some hid under the table, and some picked up and overturned the table and chairs. There was chaos in the hall for a while, and the sound of crackling tables and collapsing kept coming.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is just too nonsense!" A minister hugged the white jade pillar at the door, and screamed with horror and shame.
"Yes, yes. What a sacred* thing it is for the palace banquet to be used by His Highness to tease the courtiers and others......."
"This matter cannot be easily forgiven, teasing Your Majesty and the officials of the DPRK and China...... How can such a person be the prince of his daughter's country? ”
"The ministers are desperate today, Prince Fei!"
One person started up, and everyone followed suit, they originally did not agree with this woman with a foreign surname to be the prince of the daughter country, there is a way: if you are not of my race, you must have different hearts. They are just hindered by the majesty of the empress, and they dare not go too far.
But this Ye Qingqiu made them lose their temper and made them look foreign.
A happy smile appeared on the frightened face of the third prince, hehe. It seems that God does not agree with Ye Qingqiu to sit as the empress. Looking at the embarrassed and indignant appearance of the ministers, even if there is a mother who intends to protect Ye Qingqiu today, I am afraid that it will not work.
The empress listened to the words of the officials, her old brows furrowed slightly, and her wrinkled face showed a trace of unhappiness.
"Ministers, I don't know where to start when Your Highness teases your grandmother and teases you?" Ye Qingqiu was long and jade, his expression was light, and his eyebrows were gloomy. Dressed in a formal palace robe, the surroundings exude an aura that makes people dare not look directly.
Ye Qingqiu's terrifying momentum really frightened a group of people, but there was still a small group of people who were not afraid of death and said, "This is not a joke?" An official, about thirty years old and under forty, reached out and lifted the red cloth from his desk.
He said angrily, "Isn't it a joke to ask us to eat locusts? ......... "No wonder in the early dynasty, I wanted to go and say that I could bring my family." I see. Is this how she came up with the way to get rid of locusts?
It's simply dehumanizing. As soon as they heard that they were going to eat the locusts on the table, many people with shallow voices were already lying there vomiting.
For a while, there was a bad smell wafting in the main hall.
Ye Qingqiu's good-looking brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of disgust welled up in his heart. Is that all these people have poor self-control?
"Things have come to this point, and His Royal Highness has no need to hide it anymore, taking care of your feelings." Ye Qingqiu's eyes were cold and looked at the bottom and said coldly, "The solution that His Highness came up with is to eat locusts." This locust looks disgusting......."
"But as a healer, Your Highness can tell you responsibly that the nutrients contained in this locust are no less than those three delicacies of the sea that you eat every day. Of course, I know that you will not believe His Highness's words, and His Highness will not be able to produce any strong evidence to prove it for a while. ”
"But since this method is the first thing His Highness thinks of, then His Highness should be the first to eat ......" Speaking of this, Ye Qingqiu raised his slender wrist, picked up a locust with ten fingers, and put it in his mouth in front of everyone. Kazkaz" ate it.
The people who were lower looked at Ye Qingqiu eating locusts with a flat face, and they were stunned for a moment, and then they began to vomit again.
This time, the third prince couldn't help it, don't look over, and spit out with a "wow".
Ye Qingqiu lost any appetite in an instant, and the look on his face turned cold, "Today's locusts are still mandatory, everyone has to eat them, and they have to eat if they don't eat them." Not only tonight, but from tomorrow, every household will eat, and if the population is less than 100 people, they will eat 10 to 20 catties of locusts a day. ”
"If the population is 100 to 200, you have to eat 20 to 30 catties, and so on, until you get rid of locusts." She didn't believe that if this continued, there would be no locusts that could not be destroyed.
