After the ingots tasted, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Leng Qinghuan with some shock, they thought that the queen Yuxiu was famous, and the ten fingers did not touch the spring water, and the taste was average, but I never thought it was so delicious, the tofu was mellow and tender, and it melted in the mouth.

"Your Majesty, please." Yuan Bao swallowed his saliva and happily re-presented a piece of tofu to Ji Lianshao.

Ji Lianshao glanced at the ingots who couldn't hide his happiness on his face, and was a little strange, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Yuan Bao scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, and said in his heart: I am also a steady and steady imperial manager, and I will be happy like a child for a dish, hey, I am afraid of being embarrassed when I say it.

"It's okay, Your Majesty, please dine with the Emperor."

"Well, add it to the concubine as well."

Concubine Rong proudly took the bowl handed by the ingots, and glanced at Leng Qinghuan as if provocatively showing off, as if to say, look, I have it, but you don't, who does the emperor put on the tip of his heart, is this not clear?

Leng Qinghuan glanced at her, smiled without saying a word, and gently served herself a bowl of Longjing Zhusun soup.

Until Concubine Rong let out an exclamation, "This...... It's delicious, isn't it? ”

She has been in the palace for so long, and she has never eaten such delicious lotus tofu.

The chefs in the imperial dining room are all among the top in the country, and the lotus pod tofu made is also one in a million, but even so, at this moment, when it comes to this tofu, I am afraid that it will be a little inferior.

Is this really the queen's own hand?

Rong Guifei was a little suspicious, and said sourly, "Queen Mother, this is made in your small kitchen, right?" In order to please the emperor, he said that he did it himself. ”

She couldn't think of anything else than that.

In her heart, Leng Qinghuan is still the notorious and useless straw bale, and it is impossible to cook at all.

Leng Qinghuan put down the bowl, sandwiched a chopsticks and shredded cucumber for Ji Lianshao, and smiled gently, "Bullying the king is a big crime, and the palace can't afford it." ”

Ji Lianshao picked up the dish she gave him and took a bite elegantly, afraid that she would be proud, and didn't want to admit that what she made was really delicious, but she didn't hesitate to praise it, "The taste of the world is Qinghuan, the queen's cooking skills are far more exquisite than the chef in the imperial dining room, you have worked hard." ”

Leng Qinghuan's face turned slightly red, like rouge, with a hint of sweetness in her shyness, "Cooking for the emperor is the duty of a concubine as a wife, how can you say that it is hard." ”

Hearing this, Ji Lianshao glanced at her deeply, her eyes as vast as stars, with a hint of playfulness, and the words were so beautiful, but do you really think like this in your heart?

Leng Qinghuan seemed to understand what he meant, and closed his eyes gently, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

At least that's what she thinks today.

Since marrying him, they have respected each other like guests, although he stayed in Kunning Palace, he has never been reluctant to exceed half a point of courtesy to her, which shows that he really respects her.

As for his temptation at the Tianshou banquet, she was indeed angry at the time, angry at his distrust of her, but after thinking about it, why was she angry?

After all, they are not too familiar with each other, and if they want to form an alliance, they will see if the strength of the other party is worth befriending, he tested her, and it is understandable, she passed his temptation, and everyone was happy.

Besides, didn't she also test him?

One person at a time, it's a tie.

Therefore, she has come to seek peace today.

brought his favorite flavor and sincerely sought peace.

Looking at the sincerity on Leng Qinghuan's face, Ji Lianshao's eyes became more interesting, he reached out and grabbed a Buddha's hand gold scroll, and went straight to Leng Qinghuan's bowl, but when he was about to arrive, he turned a corner and put it in Rong Guifei's bowl, "Flowing smoke, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have reduced a lot, use more." ”

Concubine Rong looked at the subtle atmosphere slowly flowing between the emperor and the queen, and her appetite was gone, and she was about to leave, but because of Ji Lianshao's move, she was flattered and ecstatic, and the emperor called her maiden name.

Across these six houses, who else has had such an honor.

The emperor really still cares about her, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed that she has lost weight recently.

"Your Majesty, try this, this is also very good."

"Your Majesty, there is also this soup, it is very delicious, you can taste it."

Concubine Rong smiled like a flower, frequently offered courtesy, and took advantage of the gap between the vegetables, and did not forget to give Leng Qinghuan a contemptuous look.

Look, the emperor's favorite is still her, not a cat or a dog, not a fox!

Leng Qinghuan was covered with goosebumps when she looked at her, okay, okay, the emperor loves you the most, okay?

You're the most favored, aren't you?

"Your Majesty, the concubines still have something to deal with, so they won't disturb the emperor and the concubines for dinner, and the concubines will retire." Leng Qinghuan left with a smile.

Ji Yuntang looked at her cold eyes when she left, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, this woman didn't think of herself as his woman at all, so it didn't matter who was next to him.

So that day, he temporarily turned back because ...... Let's put a long line to catch big fish, and the future will be long.

The night is deep, most of the lights in the palace are extinguished, only a few are scattered, scattered in all directions, this glance at the past, the huge imperial city, there is a lonely taste.

Leng Qinghuan leaned on the railing of the corner tower, holding a pot of sake in his hand, the night breeze was blowing, and the more he drank, the more sober his mind became.

"Long live the emperor."

"The queen is up there?" A gentle voice came from below, Leng Qinghuan's expression moved slightly, the person she was waiting for came.

Jiao Jian's steps stopped behind him, and Leng Qinghuan looked back and smiled, "The emperor is here, and the concubines welcome the emperor." ”

said it was a greeting, but his body didn't move for half a minute, thinking that it was a meditation to greet him.

Ji Lianshao walked over, smelled the heavy aroma of wine on her body, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "Have you drunk?" ”

"Why not?" Leng Qinghuan handed him the flask and grinned, "It's rare to get drunk a few times in life." ”

Ji Lianshao pulled her down, for fear that if she accidentally fell from it, it would be a tragedy.

"Queen, you asked me to come here just to drink?" Ji Lianshao took a sip of wine and asked.

Leng Qinghuan took out another pot out of nowhere, drank it into the pot, and his expression gradually became solemn, "Your Majesty, the concubines got the news that Ji Yuntang secretly organized a group of people to participate in this year's imperial examination, intending to squeeze your newly recruited Taishi Tang Zhen out of the court, and then completely empty your rights and envelop the entire court in his own hands." ”

Ji Lianshao frowned, "Then do you have a list?" ”

As long as he knew who there were, then he would be able to break through them one by one and shatter Ji Yuntang's plan.

Leng Qinghuan burped, mysteriously took out a list from his cuffs, and handed it to Ji Lianshao, "Take a look, there are fifteen in total, all of them are outstanding talents from all over the world, if these people enter the court and are used by Ji Yuntang, it will definitely set off a bloody storm." ”

After a pause, Leng Qinghuan said again: "The wind and rain in the previous dynasty are coming, and the same is true for the border, Ji Yuntang knows that the emperor's biggest reliance now is the hussar general Gu Tingshen, so he colluded with foreign countries in an attempt to make General Gu Tingshen 'die on the battlefield'." ”

Ji Lianshao carefully put away the imperial examination list, and when he heard the words "died on the battlefield", he suddenly stopped, and a trace of trust flashed in his eyes, "Tingshen is extremely smart, he will definitely think that Ji Yuntang will come up with these three indiscriminate tricks, so as to prevent it." ”

Leng Qinghuan chuckled, "The emperor is so confident that General Gu will be fine?" People are not as good as heaven, the foreign countries that Ji Yuntang colluded with this time are the three princes of Xiliang, His Royal Highness the King of Yu, I heard that this person is very deep in the city, and he can grow from an inconspicuous prince to a prince who is popular and deeply loved, and he is similar to Ji Yuntang at that time, so the emperor is still good at taking precautions. ”

Ji Lianshao smiled lightly, "You only know one and you don't know the other, His Royal Highness King Yu has a younger brother, who was sent to Dayun as a proton by the monarch of Xiliang when he was seven years old, and is the younger brother of King Yu's first mother. ”

Leng Qinghuan raised his eyes and looked at the northwest of the palace, "You mean the Seventh Prince?" I heard that he has always been weak and sick, and even the Tianshou banquet that he was supposed to attend, he did not participate, and I am afraid that he will not survive this winter. ”

"Can't get through?" Ji Lianshao seemed to have heard a big joke, and after a burst of chuckles, his eyes stared at Leng Qinghuan with sharp eyes, "Queen, sometimes rumors can't be taken seriously, just like the outside world, you are an out-and-out embroidered pillow, nothing more than a good fate, cast in the right place, but really, you are a cunning fox, and the embroidered pillow is just an illusion you use to confuse the world." ”

Leng Qinghuan's heart sank, and he narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty, you ...... Investigated me! ”

Not a doubt, it's a yes.

Otherwise, why would a suspicious and scheming emperor form an alliance with her just by her words?

If it was really as she said, he would have investigated her clearly early on, then Ji Lianshao would be quite terrifying.
