Chapter 198: The Emperor's Banquet

At noon, Tuoba Tao sent someone to send a message to Gu Tingcheng, and the update was the fastest

Gu Tingcheng originally wanted the imperial dining room to cook seafood dishes, but the fresh seafood in the imperial dining room died because of the hot weather.

This can't make seafood sashimi, so Gu Tingcheng ordered someone to grind the mustard seeds into powder and heat them for dinner later.

Great Wei Imperial Palace, there are 28 palaces and halls alone, and there are countless pavilions and pavilions.

Among these palaces, the West Palace, the East Palace, and the North Palace are the most important palaces of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The palace where the emperor lives is naturally the most luxurious and magnificent, and the palace is lined with royal guards.

However, the emperor is dining today, but not in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, but in the luxurious Guan Ju Palace, which has never had a hostess.

Yang Xin Palace Gu Qingcheng has been there, although I have heard His Majesty talk about it, it was built by him for the beautiful woman who has been longing for more than ten years, but it is the first time to come.

Old Ancestor and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi knew that the emperor had summoned Gu Qingcheng to dine alone in Guanju Palace, so they were naturally the most worried.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was so worried that he paced back and forth in Yuxiu Palace.

The ancestors sat affectionately and solemnly in the Wanshou Palace.

Even Li Yi and Gu Qing were nervously watching in the Imperial Forest Army.

Gu Qingcheng saw the nervous Li Yi and Gu Qing, and shook his head at them with a silent smile, signaling that they didn't have to worry.

Even Li Yi and Gu Qing were worried that Gu Qingcheng was eating in Guan Ju Palace and felt that it was dangerous.

If that vinegar jar Tuoba heard that he was invited by his imperial grandfather to Guan Ju Palace for dinner, then he still had it?

Guan Ju Palace is a forbidden place in the imperial palace, and it is also a forbidden place in His Majesty's heart, and everyone knows it.

It was a palace that the emperor had built for the woman he was pleased with, and had been kept for more than ten years without a hostess.

When it was time for dinner, Tuoba quietly entered the palace and hid in the tallest and densest plane tree to monitor every move of Guan Ju Palace.

Of course, the harem ladies knew that the emperor was holding a banquet for Gu Qingcheng in Guanju Palace, and they were all bright.

The emperor dined in Guan Ju Palace, and Gu Chengcheng accompanied him alone, how could it not be worried!

Looking at Gu Qingcheng, who was in a light purple dress but was out of the ordinary, Tuoba Tao couldn't help but feel a shake in his heart.

Because of dining with Gu Tingcheng, the emperor specially instructed the imperial dining room to make some delicious food.

Gu Tingcheng came in, and the internal supervisors were still serving food one after another, and the emperor first took Gu Tingcheng to visit Guan Ju Palace.

Gu Tingcheng looked at the Jade Pillar Qionglou, which was resplendent in gold, carved dragons and phoenixes, and the decoration showed all the royal palaces, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

Although, such a luxurious style is still not as elegant as a package of flowers.

A package of ......

Thinking of a package of flowers, at this moment, Gu Qingcheng misses the peach blossoms on a package of flowers even more.

Gu Qingcheng shook his head, praised in his mouth, and asked quietly:

"Uncle Dashan, this Guan Ju Palace is what you built for that beauty who has been longing for more than ten years?"

Tuoba Tao nodded silently, and then glanced at Guan Ju Palace with emotion.

"Dignified emperor, what kind of woman do you want, and you can still be so affectionate." Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but give the emperor a thumbs up, and said with heartfelt emotion, "I didn't expect that Uncle Dashan is really a person of deep affection and righteousness. ”

Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng steadily: "Girl, do you know that I have been thinking about a woman for more than ten years, how does she look?" ”

“…… That, naturally, she is a beautiful woman, otherwise Uncle Dashan will not forget her. Gu Qingcheng said with a half-squinted smile in his eyes.

Tuoba Tao sighed heavily, and said something that made Gu Qingcheng jump in fright: "She looks almost exactly like you. ”

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but tremble violently.

looked at Tuoba Tao dumbfounded, and stayed for a long time before he held back: "...... No way? ”

Tuoba Tao nodded again.

"Are you sure Uncle Dashan is not joking with the girl?" Gu Qingcheng was stunned, "In this world, there are still people who look exactly like me?" ”

"So, the girl has been in my heart for more than ten years." Tuoba Tao is affectionate.

"Hehehe...... Uncle Dashan, people are similar. Gu Qingcheng smiled dryly and shook his hand, "Uncle, don't get me wrong, think of the girl as the woman you admire, the girl doesn't want to be someone else's shadow." ”

Tuoba Tao said meaningfully: "Don't worry, you are you, I will not treat you as someone else's shadow." ”

"Oh...... Uncle Oyama, that ...... Eat, eat! The girl smelled the vegetables, and her stomach began to growl. Gu Qingcheng hurriedly changed the topic, left the emperor and walked towards the dining table.

Tuoba Tao knew that she avoided his topic, so he only smiled dotingly and followed.

After sitting down, Tuoba Tao asked Gu Qingcheng with concern: "Girl, come, tell Uncle Dashan, is it going well for Yixintang to give porridge?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's so smooth. Allure didn't expect to raise tens of millions of donations. Gu Tingcheng said happily.

"There are so many?" Tuoba Tao couldn't help but be shocked.

He was a dignified emperor, but he didn't raise much donations for Allure, and he felt a little awkward in his heart, almost feeling that he couldn't face Gu Tingcheng.

Gu Tingcheng nodded and said:

"The enthusiastic donations from all parties are really unexpected, and these donations are more than enough for the people.

There were released people all over the Great Wei, and the new people were also homeless.

The girl wants to take out a part of it so that the imperial court can help the victims of the Yellow River floods, and set up relief and resettlement points in various places to help those new people survive this period of green and yellow life. ”

"The girl has this heart, it is really the blessing of Dawei!" Tuoba Tao nodded approvingly.

Gu Tingcheng thought about it for a moment, and then pondered:

"But Your Majesty, according to the previous imperial court relief funds, exploited layer by layer, there are very few that can really reach the hands of the common people.

Although these relief funds were used for disaster relief in the name of the imperial court, the girl did not want these donations to be distributed to the people through officials.

lest they withhold from them, and the hearts of those who are good will cannot reach the common people. ”

"What do you mean by girl......" Tuoba Tao asked.

"If the girl wants to send someone to distribute it in person, the local government only needs to issue an announcement so that the victims of the Yellow River flood can receive the relief money.

In addition, temporary resettlement sites for porridge sheds were set up in places where many new people lived. I also plan to send trustworthy people to do it, otherwise it will be difficult to really benefit the new people. ”

Tuoba Tao also bowed his head:

"What the girl said, I don't know. I have also repeatedly rectified the trend of greedy ink, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and local officials are all greedy for petty profits to support the upper and lower points. ”

“…… If it's really a small profit, it's fine, I'm afraid that they have a lot of appetite! Gu Qingcheng sneered slightly.

"Who does that girl want to send, do you think it's appropriate?" Tuoba Tao asked.

"A few million taels of silver is not a lot, and it is not a small amount. I am afraid that they will be greedy for ink, and safety on the road is also the most important. Gu Qingcheng groaned.

"The girl is really cautious in doing things." Tuoba Tao praised the first road.

"I heard that General Gaoyang Wang is very strict in governing the army, if he is allowed to send capable generals to quietly send donations to the disaster area and distribute them to the victims. Send people to set up resettlement sites in various places, what does Your Majesty think? Gu Tingcheng asked thoughtfully.

“…… Child? Tuoba Tao groaned, "You can rest assured that you will hand over the donation to your son?" ”

Gu Tingcheng nodded calmly:

"This donation is a kindness from all parties, although it is not much, if it goes to the hands of those officials, exploited layer by layer, and can reach the hands of the people, it will be pitiful.

King Gaoyang is strict in governing the army, and his subordinates should not dare to be greedy for ink. Moreover, the generals are highly skilled in martial arts, and the donations are safe. ”

"Okay, then Allure will contact Er and ask him to send someone to escort the donation to the disaster area. No matter who goes, I will let the local government not slack off, otherwise there will be no forgiveness! Tuoba Tao laughed loudly.

As he spoke, the dishes were served one after another.

"Okay, we're done talking about business, aren't you hungry? Let's eat, you've been busy all this time, and you're tired. Tuoba Tao said distressedly.

Gu Qingcheng held chopsticks and looked at a large table full of sumptuous wine and food, just two people to eat, what a waste.

Gu Tingcheng suddenly remembered something, and said regretfully: "Your Majesty, the imperial dining room has found the condiment for treating leg joints, but the weather is hot, and today's lobster will sleep early in the morning." ”

"The lobster is sleeping?" Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng, who spoke cutely, and said with a smile.

Gu Tingcheng nodded: "So, I have to wait for Ling'er's banquet and then taste seafood sashimi." After dinner, the girl will first compress Uncle Dashan's legs. ”

"That's fine. It's not been a day or two since I had a leg disease, so let's just watch it. Tuoba Tao said.

Motioned for Gu Qingcheng to eat.

Gu Tingcheng bit his chopsticks, looked at the table full of dishes and said:

"Your Majesty, don't the Xianbei people like to roast tender sheep, stew beef, feast and eat meat?

Your Majesty's daily dishes are so exquisite? ”

"Isn't the girl Han? I'm here to let the Imperial Dining Room cook some delicate and delicious dishes for you. Tuoba Tao said.

Gu Tingcheng sighed, nodded, looked at the plates of dishes with beautiful colors and aromas, and for a while, he didn't know which one to eat.

"Zong Ai, report to the girl, what kind of dishes are these, you see that the girl doesn't know how to cook." Tuoba Tao said to Zong.

"No, Your Majesty." Zong Ai responded respectfully.

Then he took a pair of long chopsticks and began to introduce Gu Tingcheng.

"Lord Anping," Zong Ai stretched his chopsticks and pointed to pots of dishes, such as several family treasures, "This is the mandarin duck playing in the water......"

Gu Qingcheng said in his heart: "Isn't it just a pot of egg soup with two edible birds carved on it?" ”

"This is a dragon and a phoenix." Zong Ai looked at the emperor with deep meaning, and then looked at Gu Qingcheng Dao.

Gu Tingcheng looked at the dragon and the phoenix on the basin, lingering and coiling, and the dragon and phoenix mouths were spitting pigeon eggs, which was really lifelike.

"The workmanship is so exquisite, I can't bear to eat them." Gu Qingcheng bit his chopsticks and grinned.

Tuoba Tao personally took a gold spoon and silver chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of dragon lin and the pigeon egg representing jade beads in the dragon's mouth, and sent it to her mouth.

Gu Tingcheng took it and ate it, it was sweet, soft and crispy.

It turned out that Longlin was actually made of almond slices wrapped in sugar and fried crispy, and it tasted really good when eaten with pigeon eggs.

"Sweet, soft and delicious." Gu Qingcheng smiled like a child.

"This is Ganoderma lucidum love jade cicada." Zong Ai said again.

"Ganoderma lucidum loves jade cicadas?" Gu Tingcheng looked at the dishes on the plate and said with a smile: "A big mushroom is Ganoderma lucidum, and a scoop-stuffed egg bun is carved into a jade cicada, but with a love word, it vividly reflects the love scene between Ganoderma lucidum and jade cicada. Wonderful! ”

Tuoba Tao gave the lingzhi to Gu Qingcheng, but he ate the jade cicada.

"This is the meeting of the Magpie Bridge, this is the spring garden, Wushan ** ......" Zong Ai also wants to continue to introduce.

Gu Tingcheng gradually felt that something was wrong.

"Okay, okay," Gu Qingcheng hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "Then I can't remember the name of the dish that is ingenious, and I don't need to introduce them one by one." ”

Zong Ai looked at Tuoba Tao's face, and Tuoba Tao motioned for them all to retreat.

"Girl, don't you like to eat?" Tuoba Tao asked.

These dishes are clearly suspected of **her.

It's just that I don't know if Zong Ai deliberately curry favor with His Majesty's idea, or if His Majesty agrees.

Gu Tingcheng sneered:

"Your Majesty, so many dishes are enough for a family of a few to eat for a month.

And ordinary people can't eat these delicacies of the mountains and seas, I don't know which one to eat. ”

"Girl, you can eat whatever you like, you don't have to be restrained." Tuoba Tao smiled.

Gu Tingcheng said in his heart, it may be that Zong Ai patted the horse and slapped his beard, so that the imperial dining room thought of those ingenious dishes.

"Right...... The girl forgot, we have long been confidants and good friends, how can we be polite. Gu Tingcheng began to eat heartily.

Tuoba Tao watched her feast, but felt warm and satisfied.

The concubines of the harem eat in front of His Majesty, and they all deliberately pretend to chew and swallow slowly, and their posture is elegant.

At this moment, he thought about it, and felt that they were too fake, far less comfortable than the girl.

Gu Tingcheng ate a lot of meat in front of His Majesty, and feasted on it.

Later, she slowly remembered her eating appearance, why did she even follow the appearance of Tuoba when she ate?

Halfway through it, Tuobatao handed her a glass of cold wine.

The emperor gave wine and had to drink it.

Gu Tingcheng had to reluctantly take it over and salute the emperor: "Uncle Dashan, the girl respects you." ”

Tuoba Tao drank it all, but Gu Qingcheng tasted it lightly.

Tuoba has repeatedly told her not to let her drink with others casually.

Seeing that she hadn't finished her glass of wine, Tuoba Tao asked, "Why didn't the girl do it?" ”

"The girl drinks lightly, I'm afraid that I will drink violently, and I won't have the strength to help Uncle Dashan cover his feet after a while." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.

Gu Tingcheng explained so, and Tuoba Tao did not persuade him to drink.

"Girl, these dishes are better than your mouse's meat?" Tuoba Tao looked at her with a doting smile.

"Oh, Uncle Mountain, it turns out that you have spies everywhere, eavesdropping on the girl and Ling'er." Gu Qingcheng swallowed the mushrooms in his mouth and pouted dissatisfied.

"I didn't send anyone to eavesdrop on your daughter's whisper, it was Ling'er's girl who sent someone to the imperial dining room to ask for some mountain rat meat and snake meat. I guess it's weird, you must have told her. Tuoba Tao smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Uncle Dashan is so smart, he can't hide it from you." Gu Tingcheng also dried up the half glass of wine.

"Do you think your Uncle Dashan was so stupid that he didn't even know if you really had prickly heat on your face?" Tuoba Tao pretended to be serious.

Gu Qingcheng had to laugh dryly.

"The girl is so bold, she even dares to deceive me!" Tuoba Tao pretended to be angry again.

"Uncle Dashan, the girl is not lying to you." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.

Tuoba Tao's eyes straightened: "This is not a lie?" ”

Gu Qingcheng said with a hippie smile:

"Bian Que can rejuvenate and bring the dead back to life, but he sighs to himself in front of the big brother who is on guard.

The girl not only has to learn Bian Que's superb medical skills, but also how his eldest brother can prevent it from happening.

Knowing that you are about to get prickly heat, it is the highest level to prevent it from happening.

It's all covered up, and it's not a trick on Uncle Mountain. ”

"Sophistry!" Tuoba Tao knew that Gu Tingcheng was deliberately quibbling, but he was infected by her smile, and he also laughed, "You have passed the test in a fool." ”

"Uncle Dashan is as strict as the girl's master." Gu Qingcheng pouted.

"I'm no longer holding you accountable for cheating, so it's still harsh?" Tuoba was so angry that he knocked her head with chopsticks.

Gu Qingcheng saw that Tuoba Tao doted on himself so much, so he pinched his ears with both hands and knelt down obediently.

"The girl was wrong, the girl didn't have prickly heat at all, she just didn't want His Majesty to see what she looked like." Gu Qingcheng pouted slightly, like a child who admitted his mistakes.

"Why doesn't the girl want Uncle Dashan to see what you look like?" Tuobatao's heart tightened.

"Uncle Dashan, this can be regarded as forgiving the girl for the crime of deception in the first place?" Gu Qingcheng bargained like a laipi child.

"That's it, can the uncle still deal with the girl?" Tuoba smiled and motioned for her to get up.

"The girl heard that almost all the women with a little beauty were accepted into the palace by the emperor." Gu Qingcheng shook his head and said with a smile, "The girl is idle and wild, and she is used to practicing medicine everywhere." I don't like to be bound in the deep palace at all, so I don't want the emperor to see me. ”

The emperor laughed loudly.

"The slightest appearance has been included in the harem, does the girl think I am a hungry ghost in the sex?" Tuoba Tao couldn't help but reach out and pinch Gu Qingcheng's face, and couldn't help but be stunned again: "The girl doesn't want to be in the palace, don't want to be with me?" ”

"The girl is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, although the palace is rich in clothes and food, if I am trapped in the palace, it is like binding my hands, hands and feet, I will even have difficulty breathing, suffocation." Gu Qingcheng pouted and shook his head.

Tuoba Tao frowned slightly.

Gu Tingcheng thought about the butterflies in Butterfly Valley, and said happily: "I just want to fly freely, like those little butterflies." ”

"Like a little butterfly?" Tuoba Tao saw that Gu Qingcheng longed for a free life outside the palace, and he couldn't bear to stifle her joy.

The ancestor also said that no one could force the marriage of Allure.

For a moment, he wanted to pick up the wine cup and drink, but Gu Qingcheng hurriedly took it back from his hand.

"Uncle Dashan can't drink anymore, your wine today is almost done." Gu Tingcheng Road.

Tuoba Tao thought that Gu Qingcheng was afraid that he would get drunk, so he laughed again: "This little wine is less than one-tenth of your uncle's usual life." ”

"The girl said that Uncle Dashan can't drink it, so he really can't drink it." Gu Tingcheng insisted, "Uncle forgot that the girl said that your leg is sick?" ”

Tuoba Tao obediently put down the wine cup and smiled dotingly: "Our girl is terrible, even I am in charge." No wonder the streets and alleys spread the girl to the fairy. ”

“…… What the? Pass me to the Race Immortal? Gu Qingcheng was stunned.

She was busy before and after, and she didn't know how the outside world praised her deeds.

Tuoba Tao nodded and smiled: "Although the girl is superb, it is not untrue." ”

Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was blushing, and his heart was ape, and he picked up the wine cup and drank again.

"Okay, Uncle Dashan, after drinking this cup, you can't drink more today." Gu Qingcheng took his empty wine cup and put it in the distance, and then pointed to Tuoba Tao's legs, "Have you forgotten that the girl told you to drink in moderation?" ”

Tuoba Tao looked at her with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness: "Okay, just listen to the girl, tonight's wine, that's the end of it." ”
