Chapter 271: Flowing Water
Chapter 271: Flowing Water
Liu Ziye, the prince of Liu Song, who withdrew from the Taiji Palace, finally took a long breath, saw Tuoba Jun walking to his side, and muttered to himself:
"I knew that this ceremony was so long and cumbersome, so the prince went to Guozi Taixue to watch the game. It is expected that today's chess players of Dawei still can't even win against Prince Ben's men! ”
Tuoba Jun was going to go to the Imperial Garden, but when he heard Liu Ziye's words, he paused.
Standing in front of Liu Ziye with his hands in his hand: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really the ninth aunt of this king, and she is determined to win?" ”
Liu Ziye couldn't help but cover his mouth and sneer: "His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, but I am too exalted by your ninth aunt." Just the princess of Shanggu just now, any palace maid in Bentai's womb is stronger than her. ”
He set up a ring in Dawei this time, and it was really not for the princess of Dawei!
He grabbed Liu Ziye's chest: "You dare to insult my princess of Dawei?" ”
Liu Ziye looked at Tuoba Jun's hand holding his chest, patted the hand with a feather fan, and shouted in an elegant whisper:
"Let it go...... The court is pulling and pulling, and it is a loss of the identity of the king of Gaoyang! Beware of people mistaking you for something about Prince Ben! ”
"Whew! Still conscious of you! Tuoba sneered and pushed him forward.
After a pause, he squinted at him and said coldly: "You have no intention of Princess Shanggu, if this king guesses correctly, you are fighting the idea of the county lord of Anping?" ”
Liu Ziye looked at him with a smile, straightened his clothes noncommittally, and said with a grin: "His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, it's better to know later!" ”
Tuoba Jun attached to his ear and said ruthlessly: "This king kindly advises His Royal Highness the Prince, if you hit the attention of the county lord of Anping, you should go back to Jiankang as soon as possible, and save yourself from being embarrassed in Dawei!" ”
"King Gaoyang, you have the ability, you Da Wei won the ring of this prince!" Liu Ziye was-for-tat.
Liu Chuyu, who was standing next to Liu Ziye, looked at Tuoba Jun and said with a disappointed disappointment that he couldn't hide: "His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, it seems that you care about the county lord of Anping very much." ”
Tuoba Jun looked at Liu Chuyu calmly: "She is the pride of our Great Wei, each of us loves her very much and cares about her very much!" ”
Tuoba Jun's words are endlessly mysterious, but with intuition, Liu Chuyu knows that King Gaoyang has deep affection for Gu Qingcheng.
Tuoba Jun looked at Liu Ziye again, and said indifferently to Liu Chuyu:
"Princess Sanyin, you still persuade your whimsical royal brother to go back. If you stay in Dawei, you won't be able to get anything good, you will only lose face! ”
Liu Chuyu's face suddenly turned pale: "Your Highness, are you just looking forward to Chu Yu leaving?" ”
"This king is all he says, you sisters and brothers, do it yourself." Tuoba turned away coldly.
"Self-righteous guy!" Liu Ziye was so angry that he shook his sleeves.
Liu Chuyu froze on the spot.
Liu Ziye was annoyed for a moment, but he didn't think so, so he and Liu Chuyu walked towards the imperial garden under the guidance of the palace people.
When Liu Chuyu saw Tuoba Jun's expression just now, his heart was already bright and translucent, and he almost wanted to go back to Liu Song immediately.
Princess Khotan Xianji looked at Tuoba Jun and Liu Ziye through the crowd and walked over to them.
And Helan Mingyue and Li Shuang'er had already found Tuoba Jun in the crowd and had already hurried towards him.
When Tuoba Jun saw these women who were about to pounce on him, he turned around in fright and strode away.
Tuoba Han didn't know if it was on purpose, or if he happened to meet the sullen Tuoba Pi and pulled him to the vicinity of the Royal Garden rockery.
Pretended to be concerned and asked him: "Pi'er, how is it, the spanking of your eldest brother is better?" ”
Tuobapi snorted coldly, without words.
"I heard that Pi'er is going to be thrown into the barracks by Jun'er?" Tuoba Han was worried again, "What can I do about this?" ”
“…… It's just going to the battlefield, what is there to be afraid of! Tuoba Pi finally choked between his teeth.
"Pi'er, this is not child's play!" Tuoba Han shook his head and sighed: "You are not afraid of life and death, but have you ever thought about your mother?" ”
"What's wrong with my mother?" Tuoba Pi couldn't help frowning worriedly.
No matter how naughty he is, he is a very filial son.
Especially after his father left them forever, he took on the responsibility of protecting his mother.
"You are in the military camp at a young age, it's just a matter of suffering and suffering, and when the time comes to go to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, you are your mother's baby, how do she have to worry about you." Tuoba Han was kind enough to help him analyze.
Looking at Tuoba Pi, who had a sad face, he paused for a moment, and said worriedly:
"Since your father left, Ru Liangdi's body has deteriorated, and you have to go to the military camp to suffer, and you have to take your mother's life!"
Tuoba Pi began to ignore Tuoba Han, but now when he heard him say this, he looked at Tuoba Han with an anxious face.
"Uncle Sanhuang, what should I do then?" Tuoba Pi said, "Brother Wang's military orders are like mountains, who dares to disobey!" ”
"Go, of course. Your eldest brother's order, the military order is like a mountain, and it is indeed impossible to disobey. Tuoba Han nodded.
Tuoba Pi looked at the Third Emperor Uncle in surprise.
Seeing this, Tuoba Han whispered in Tuoba Pi's ear:
"Pi'er can go with confidence, you are a well-known demon king of the mixed world, you can do a lot of harm in the military camp.
In this way, even if you want to stay in the barracks, your eldest brother will not let you stay in the barracks. ”
Tuoba Pi's eyes were blazing, and he finally smiled.
Just changed his clothes and changed into a light light green dress, Gu Qingcheng, who was like a fairy, came out of Yuxiu Palace.
Such a light color, fresh and pleasant, with the meandering water of the Imperial Garden, is more compatible.
Gu Qingcheng happened to see Tuoba Han and Tuoba Pi beside the rockery, avoiding everyone's secret words.
The heart of the way to Tuoba Han is a ghost again.
She smiled at the corners of her mouth, rolled her eyes, beckoned the butterflies over, and told them to go and play with the child......
The lobsters in the imperial dining room are all delivered early this morning, and the mustard is freshly ground in the morning.
Gu Tingcheng had already ordered someone to grind the mustard powder into powder, add water to make a paste, steam it for about a stick of incense, and turn it into a green paste.
He also ordered the ice cubes to be crushed and placed on the carved dragon boat, and the imperial chefs were asked to bleed the deep-sea lobster to extract its snow-white tender meat, and the salmon to peel and thorn its bright red and white fresh meat, as well as various kinds of shells, all sliced and spread on the crushed ice, and decorated with flowers.
The imperial chefs set up a fire to barbecue meat, and the winding water flowed to feast, and the raw and cooked food were all ready.
This yusheng is not everyone's favorite food, especially the ancestor, and she doesn't plan to let her eat more.
So we prepared a barbecue for everyone.
All the palace people went to the imperial garden to serve, and the musician also played the silk and bamboo orchestra beside the flowing water.
Even the royal painters of the palace have ten waiting, ready to preserve such a prosperous Qushui Liuyu banquet in the world.
Skilled craftsmen introduce the clear water into the imperial garden, and repair it into a stream, and the stream water is crystal clear.
There are white pebbles sprinkled underneath, and there are white hibiscus as white as jade, and bright red koi fish swim among the hibiscus.
The rocky ancient pines and green bamboos on the side of the stream, and the spring bloom of cold wood, are exquisitely matched and just right.
And the most subtle thing is to make a small waterwheel at the water source, and the palace people can hand shake the waterwheel to control the water flow.
Coupled with the nobles in brocade clothes, red men and green women, fragrant clothes and sideburns, silk and bamboo orchestras, and flowers, this imperial garden is like a dream.
Even the ten royal painters of the court couldn't wait to set up their easels and depict this beautiful scenery.
One after another, the palace people placed a boatload of dragon boats with attractive seafood and fragrant barbecued meat, embellished with flowers, and carved in the stream.
Then put on the feather buds that hold the wine, and slowly float with the waves in the white hibiscus of the clear stream.
Several wine containers placed on the side of the stream are all green and jade-like beams.
This swasher is decorated throughout, with an ellipsoidal hanging belly, a high hoop foot, an arc-shaped cover, a pointed square pillar grasping button, and a dragon head and a dragon body handle.
The whole body is cloudy and thunder pattern, a snake pattern is applied on both sides of the upper abdomen to curl downward, a relief frog pattern is embellished in the middle, and the double snake in the middle of the lower abdomen is retrograde upward, echoing with the snake pattern of the upper abdomen, pointing directly to the frog pattern, forming a pattern of four snakes playing with frogs.
The mouth is decorated with triangular moire patterns, and the circle foot is applied near the abdomen to steal a curved pattern, and a hollow edge is applied on each side, and the lid is divided into four districts.
The decoration of the whole utensils uses a variety of techniques such as relief, round carving, hollowing, and line carving, which is exquisite and natural, revealing vitality in the regular and gorgeous, giving people a very high enjoyment of beauty.
Several pretty palace maids were in charge of drinking beside the barn, filling the wine buds with the drunk, and then putting it into the stream.
In addition to the wine in the stream, there is also a delicately carved jade tree.
Yu Yu is not only a good wine cup, but also has a constant temperature, so it is advisable to drink warm wine when eating fresh seafood.
There are also some people with poor physique who can't drink cold wine, so Gu Tingcheng uses this wine cup for backup.
The banqueters gathered around the banks of the stream, sat on the brocade mats, and asked the palace people to stop the boat and bring them to eat.
Tuoba Tao and the harem concubines, princes, and grandchildren came to the imperial garden and were overjoyed to see such an ingenious curved water.
Everyone is more and more impressed with Gu Qingcheng.
Tuoba Tao looked at this picturesque scenery and couldn't help but admire:
“…… The meandering water flows, the stream is murmuring, the hibiscus is scorching, the flowers are red and willow green, and the cold wood is spring. Good! Allure has such a wonderful idea, she is really a strange woman in the world! ”
"Your Majesty has overdone it." Gu Qingcheng blessed the body.
"This was originally a repair event held on the Shangsi Festival in March, and it made you so poetic!" Tuoba Tao couldn't help but praise again, "Not bad......"
"There is no whimsy in Allure, but it is just to imitate the song of the book saint Wang Xizhi and add excitement to the princess's banquet."
"Allure, thank you." Tuoba Ling walked to Gu Qingcheng's side, hugged her tightly, and said gratefully, "You carefully organized this Qushui Liuyu banquet for me, I will remember it for the rest of my life!" ”
"Okay, if you're satisfied." Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly.
The old ancestor frequently bowed his head, looking at her heart and liver, and smiling in his mouth.
However, the concubines in the palace are becoming more and more vigilant about Gu Tingcheng, as if Gu Tingcheng can snatch their favor anytime and anywhere.
And Lu Zuo Zhaoyi, who has been haunted by ghosts these days, thought that those ghosts would not appear again, but who knew that she was scared last night.
If I hadn't put on a thick makeup today, I wouldn't have dared to come out to meet people.
She looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was holding the moon with all the stars, and gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart.
But she had a handle in the hands of Gu Tingcheng, and she couldn't help her with both soft and hard treatment, and she didn't dare to put Gu Tingcheng to death, which really made her half angry.
And the most annoying thing is that before and after others, he has to be enthusiastic about Gu Tingcheng, so that it seems that although Gu Tingcheng has withdrawn from his son, after all, she is the daughter of the old man, and she must be affectionate and righteous.
An Lingtina, Helan Mingyue, Li Shuang'er, Princess Xianji, and even Princess Shanyin, who have a deep affection for Tuoba Jun, feel even more that Gu Qingcheng is a thorn in the flesh.
It's just that An Lingtina has despaired of Tuoba Tao, and her current mind is on Tuoba Tao, who ruined his life's happiness.
Now that happiness is gone, she hopes to realize her dream through the supreme emperor.
Although there is a little heart higher than the sky, the fate is as thin as paper, and the future is uncertain.
Yes, not to mention Tuoba Tuoba Yu, even in the eyes of the emperor, who can be tolerated except Gu Qingcheng?
Gu Tingcheng ordered someone to put a little mustard paste on everyone's condiment plate, add some soy sauce and mix well, so that everyone could dip the meat and eat these condiments together.
"Allure, this green pungent condiment is the condiment you gave me to treat joint pain?" Tuoba Tao smelled the condiment, felt that the taste was a little strange, and said with a bitter face.
Gu Qingcheng nodded and said with a light smile:
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a mustard paste made of mustard seeds, which is slightly bitter, spicy and fragrant, has a strong stimulation to the mouth and tongue, and can also make people tear-jerking, and the taste is very unique."
Everyone also sniffed, and they all showed suspicion: "This thing tastes weird, can you eat it?" ”
Gu Qingcheng then continued:
"For typhoid nasal congestion, eating a little nose will soon dredge it; People with joint pain will feel relaxed after eating for a while. Of course, when combined with a hot topical application and a proper diet, the effect will be even better. ”
"Okay, let's eat some food to cushion our stomachs before drinking, who is this wine stop in front of, but I want to write poems!" Tuoba Tao said loudly to everyone, motioning for everyone to eat.
Tuoba Ling, who was sitting next to Gu Tingcheng, had already sandwiched a piece of brightly colored salmon before Gu Tingcheng could explain clearly, and ate it with great interest.
"Ahem...... Yes...... cough ......" Tuoba Ling choked and screamed, tears and snot suddenly spurted: "Oh my God! Allure, what kind of condiment are you, choking Princess Ben to death. Oops...... No way...... cough cough cough ...... Choke me to death......"
Like Tuobaling, there is also a boy.
It is the Tuoba Pi who wears a purple and gold crown, a blue brocade robe, a gold belt around his waist, gorgeous ornaments, delicate facial features, looks quite like Tuoba, and has a strong atmosphere.
As soon as he put the fish meat dipped in mustard into his mouth, he couldn't wait to swallow half of it, and he choked on it, so he quickly spit out the remaining half of it, grinning and screaming.
"Ahem, ahem...... What the hell is this? How dare such a ghost thing be given to people to eat? He wiped his tears and snot and flipped over the dishes on the small table.
"Give them water to drink!" Gu Qingcheng hurriedly greeted the palace maid who was waiting beside them.
Then a palace maid hurriedly brought water to Tuoba Ling and Tuoba Pi.
Another palace maid hurriedly cleaned up the debris that was lifted to the ground by Tuoba Pi.
They poured water and drank some more water, which was slightly better, but Tuoba Pi still bared his teeth and gasped for breath and stared at Gu Qingcheng.
The person next to him, although he was dressed properly, looked pale and haggard, Ru Liangdi, who was frightened.
Hurriedly shouted: "Pi'er, don't be rude!" ”
Ruliangdi, who was sick, stopped her son and made amends to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive your sin, Pi'er didn't mean it." ”
Tuoba Tao's face had already changed.
Tuoba Pi was choked and his face turned red, and he was extremely uncomfortable, where did he care about any etiquette.
Still slapping his chest, glaring at Gu Qingcheng, he shouted in his mouth: "You ugly bastard, how did you get these foods out, it's uncomfortable to die!" ”
"Lao Jiu, don't be rude!" Tuoba Jun spoke lowly.
Lao Jiu was drunk by Tuoba Jun, a little shocked, and glanced at the emperor in shock, and saw that the emperor's grandfather was glaring at him with an angry face.
Immediately, he reined in, but he couldn't help crying: "Grandpa Huang, this food is poisonous and can't be eaten!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Everyone was originally holding chopsticks, but when they saw that Tuoba Ling and Tuoba Pi were eating as if they were being tortured, they all stopped chopsticks and hesitated.
Now I hear Tuoba Pi yelling that the food is poisonous, and I dare not use chopsticks.
Gu Tingcheng explained with a smile:
"Princess Shanggu, the Ninth Prince, you are so anxious, I haven't made it clear yet.
You can't dip this condiment too much at once, you won't be able to stand it. Take a little bit, slowly get used to it, and then follow the amount.
You've drunk water, rested and eaten, and you'll be fine. ”
Tuoba Ling and Tuoba Pi drank water, although it was a little better, but they were still embarrassed with tears and snot.
"Look, everybody, you should eat like this." Gu Tingcheng sandwiched a piece of lobster tender meat, lightly dipped it in a little condiment, and then half-covered his mouth with his hand, chewed it slowly, and then swallowed it.
She was choked by the smell of mustard.
Once the food is eaten, it's fine.
To everyone: "Everyone just eats, it is not advisable to dip too many condiments, slowly get used to it, and then add or subtract according to your preferences." As long as you get used to eating, you will feel infinitely delicious. ”
Tuoba Pi looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was covering his mouth and his eyes were red, and hummed:
"Ugly monster, you eat like a monster yourself, and you trick us into eating these ghost things, it's really uneasy and kind!"
Everyone laughed at it!
Gu Qingcheng is a stunning beauty that everyone is jealous of, and she is actually said to be ugly by Tuoba Pi.
The women who were jealous of Gu Allure couldn't help but giggle.
Gu Tingcheng was embarrassed for a moment.
Tuoba Tao swept everyone's eyes, and the women were immediately silent.
"Rude bastard thing! If you don't like it, get out of here! Tuoba Tao shouted, "A good qushui flowing feast, before it started, you ruined your mood!" ”
The emperor immediately glared at Ru Liangdi again, and said angrily: "Ru Liangdi, how did you teach your son, one after another trouble is not counted, it is so bad that he is more and more out of order, it is simply difficult to get into the hall of elegance!" ”
"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins, Pi'er is not sensible, it is the concubine and daughter-in-law who have no way to teach, and the concubine-in-law will confess to the lord of Anping on behalf of Pi'er."
Ruliangdi, who couldn't help but be weak, bowed to Gu Qingcheng and said softly: "Please Princess Anping, don't blame." ”
"Children's words are unscrupulous, such as Liangdi, you don't have to be polite." Gu Tingcheng hurriedly got up and saluted back.
Ru Liangdi apologized to Gu Tingcheng, and then pulled her son tightly and covered his mouth.
Princess Lu glared at Ruliangdi with an angry face, she was the prince's side concubine, and if they lost face, it was equivalent to losing the face of the prince's mansion.
